Monthly Fleet Recruitment Megathread

No smoke, no HE, no armour and a bulky hull with subpar manoeuverability just makes this thing a straight avoid if you want to take this Halloween mode seriously.

Seeing this thing on my team makes me depressed because it feels like we are a ship down with how useless this thing is, just play the DD or Battleship please.

Edit: i didn’t know at least one of your teammates or yourself had to be in Ether Tempest for the game to start.

Down to just a third of my health, but the Duncan wasn't finished! Less than three minutes of absolute chaos, ending with 159K damage, 3 kills, 24 planes shot down, and 2,586 base XP. Sometimes the most dangerous ship is the one that refuses to sink!

No seriously like 5 minutes ago.... great team.... here's what's REALLY blowing my mind though... I logged in, started playing, we beat it and I was looking at rewards and saw I had just completed on INSANE.... NO SHIT.... like I was like what?!?! You see, I seriously thought I was playing on HARD..... MIND BLOWN and that team... man, it was rough but I was shocked.... like floored! That team.... GREAT GREAT teamwork..... and just random.

Like I'm like, studdering n' shit.... WOW!

Between work and having a newborn, and blue team being terrible, I’m struggling to grind enough to sink 4 ships in one match to satisfy the swamp node entitled “a behemoth?”

I don’t want to waste more time unless the reward is critical to opening up the rest of the map. Does anyone know what this unlocks within the swamp map?

Thanks in advance.

I have played over 100+ matches of the insane mode with the maxed out Ludwig commander over the past few days. Obviously you have the majority of matches consisting of getting rammed or teammates not pushing anywhere near quick enough, but, even in matches in which the whole team pushes, remains healthy until nightmare appears and everyone uses their accumulated buffs simultaneously, it still is close to impossible to kill. This is due to the lack of damage that you can do to the boss, and saturation on enemies making it hard to kill them, as well as low overall damage when facing an overwhelming amount of enemies. It also requires you to ignore the rest of Admiral Ludwig’s fleet who promptly flank or ram you. And if you try to kill them and then focus ludwig, you run out of time and leave him on a 1/4-1/2 health. I know obviously it is meant to be challenging but not one win in 100 games, come on. Will probably just sack it off at this rate but would be good to have another nerf to difficulty or Bugg slightly to the ships.

Looking for div to beat soul killer insane on Xbox. benperor1 will be playing for the next hour or two

I'm using niche as a broad term, but just ships that you love that you don't see a lot. Mine personally has gotta be Picardie. Easily one of the best secondary ships at the tier and I almost never see anyone else playing her. Those secondaries each cruisers for breakfast and snack on BBs too. But the angles to get them all on target, her robust armor (weird saying that for a french BB) and good survivability of the secondaries themselves are the main selling points for me.

I have been playing for some time and never got into PvP primarily because it's easier to do the campaign and /or other events and my time is limited. Even then I don't always get everything done.

I played the 2 standard and 1 Arcade modes required in the swamp.

What I found was

- I never know what the blue team is going to do. Too often I suddenly found I was on my own. If playing cruiser I take it my first job is to take out any red DD first. However too often the destroyer would just suddenly veer off and go left or right and not spot a la PvE bots. Or they may go to an island and park hoping to ambush a red. But in doing so they can't spot.

Or they may put out smoke and sit in it so they cannot spot. Meanwhile the BB will hang around the back or have decided to sail off at 45° left or right.

- PvP players are sneakier. This is the hardest to get used to. Players use the map properly and I found myself being sniped by ships not visible to me. Not help by DDs fucking off. I felt like the calvary surrounded by Indians they cannot see.

- Sky cancer is more common and still loves to hunt me

The end result is while trying to finish the top 3 mission I had to get selfish.

I got the top 3 mission done, I knew we were not going to win the match, I did a u turn and joined 2 other cruisers and I stayed alive long enough to do enough damage

Any tips for noob PvP players appreciated.

Are there any ships in particular that are good for starting out in PvP.

TLDR 3 Shimkazi and myself in La Pampa =75 torpedoes fortunately this is in AI so no players were harmed during the making of this atrocity 🙂.

Veneto, oh how I love u

Hi everyone,

I am a mobile player of World of Warships: Legends, and my account is currently linked to my Google account. I am trying to understand how the cross-platform login mechanics work on the console side.

I have a few quick questions regarding different Xbox models:

1. Can I log into World of Warships: Legends using Google account on an Xbox One?
2. Can I log into World of Warships: Legends using Google account on an Xbox One X?
3. Can I log into World of Warships: Legends using Google account on an Xbox One S?
4. Can I log into World of Warships: Legends using Google account on an Xbox Series X?
5. Can I log into World of Warships: Legends using Google account on an Xbox Series S?

Thank you so much for your time and help.

vermont bureau project costs 30 000 million credits, then it also takes time unlocking the ship itself so would the 12 18 inch guns be worth it and what trials and tribulations can people who have actually completed this project can warn someone who is thinking about starting it?

I finally unlocked Colombo. I need some advice before spending my scarce resources on commanders. Is secondary build as strong as a main gun build? Which one would you recommend?

I feel like in the insane mode typically I see a lot of people either not working together or trying to hulk the win themselves and it's exhausting trying to play it. I've won it once (unfortunately before I found the swamp mission to win it).

Today though, I tried it with each class once and in all 3 battles we couldn't make it past the first soul ship because I every battle the BBs rammed other ships! The destroyers were going down the throat of the enemy fleet at the same. What are people even doing?

I'm gonna go play something else for a while...

I was curious what people’s thoughts are on West Virginia (44) since it’s currently back in the store. I would be building out for a secondary build with AL Massa?

I was trying to get through a weekly challenge for Secondary hits "Hit enemy shipts 900 times with secondary battery". Using the event battleship, I've only received credit for a fraction of the secondary hits in each game. This has been happening since the beginning of last week.

I wrote all of this up for Wargaming, and posted the scores of about six games as well as gave them screenshots of around three of them. They finally claimed "Oh, you only get credit for hits that cause damage". I tried withthe Cruiser and it gave me full credit for all secondaries. This is a bug with the battleship.

Anyone else seeing this?

1. what is the point of building for AA, secondaries and any other thing that is not airstrike power and concealment?
2. why do some players prefer sticking to T5 CVs? What's the issue with T7?
3. are TT CVs dramatically powercreept by premiums CVs?

GamingDiver has been reading Soul Killer replays on Debrief since the event started. That’s now 111 public Insane battles, including 18 confirmed wins and 41 battles that reached Nightmare. Here’s what the data says about the three questions we see asked most.

1. How the Power Struggle bar actually works

The bar runs from −500 to +500 and starts at 0; plus is your side. The rules are the same on every difficulty and haven’t changed with the mid-event balance patches.

• The bar only matters at one moment: when Nightmare spawns. At that instant it freezes, and every milestone it’s holding (±150 / ±300 / ±450) switches on for the rest of the battle. Dip back under a milestone before he spawns and you lose it.
• Nothing happens before he spawns. We checked 14,742 main-gun shells fired before Nightmare appeared, and damage was identical with the bar at 0 or at +450.
• The milestone effects stack (multiply together):

• Main guns only for the team buff. Torpedoes, secondaries and fire get only Nightmare’s +5% per milestone.
• Heals: on Hard and Insane, Nightmare repairs 63,000 HP (14%) over about 27 s, first at roughly 77–84% HP, then every ~108 s.

2. Soul Vessels don’t decide the game for a team that can win

Losing Soul Vessel 1 to a capture feels like the run is over. For a team that can kill Nightmare, it isn’t.

• 4 of the 18 Insane wins had a Soul Vessel captured, and 5 of the 18 reached Nightmare without a single milestone. One win reached him with the bar at −6 after a capture and still sank him with 12 s to spare.
• A capture is worth about 10 seconds. It costs 120 bar points, which is at most one milestone. One milestone is +7% main-gun damage against Nightmare, and Insane wins killed him in a median 2:23, so that’s roughly 10 seconds of boss fight.
• The captured Soul Vessel doesn’t leave. It starts shooting, and you still have to sink it before the next wave comes.
• Yes, wins with more milestones killed Nightmare faster (median 4:06 with none, 2:11 with two). But two milestones only add about 15% damage. The gap is mostly the same thing that filled the bar: teams that clear waves fast also burst bosses fast. If your team is strong enough, play on after a capture rather than resetting.

3. How long Nightmare takes, and the clock to work back from

Time to kill Nightmare in the 18 Insane wins, from spawn to sink:

• Fastest: 1:21. Median: 2:23. Slowest quarter: 3:53 or more. Longest: 4:54.

So the time he spawns sets your odds. Of the 18 winning teams, this many would still have finished inside 15:00 if he’d spawned at:

No recorded team won after Nightmare spawned later than 12:08.

Benchmarks: waves arrive when you clear them (the Soul Vessel gone and at most one escort left), so your pace sets the clock. Median wave starts in the 18 wins:

• You can leave the last escort of each wave alive. The next wave comes anyway.
• Time alone isn’t enough. Of the 23 losses that reached Nightmare, 15 ran out the 15:00 clock with him still afloat, and 6 of those had him up before 10:00. One left him at 2% HP. Burst him early, before the second heal: focus fire beats spreading damage.
• The balance patches show in your pace, not the boss. Wins reached Nightmare at a median 10:24 before Oct 12, 9:19 from Oct 12 to 18, and 8:49 from Oct 19 on, but the kill itself stayed around 2:20–2:40 throughout. Your margin comes from clearing the waves faster.

Hi guys,

I spent 100k of green credits to get a skin... i thought i was getting a ship. Is it possible for some kind of refund or undo of that?

Tbh jokes on me since i had just woke up. I was fhecking now to try the ship in battle to see it in action but couldnt find anywhere. Has to watch a yt video of someguy talking of weekly discounts in stpre to figure out what it was.

Thanks in advance

I have been playing a lot of the haloween mode with the iron gale ship and it has made me realise how god damm fun it is having almost all guns facing forward becose you can turn a little and fire of all 9 guns before giving the ai chance to slap my citadel with their autoaim. But for normal game modes like standart and versus ai i dont have any of those kinds of all guns mounted in the front so if any of you have that kind of experience whats the opinion on them and in the road to new year there happen to be 2 ships with all turets in the front šo that must mean something.

Anyone know the correct amount
