       Cheat ships Tromp and Alvaro have wek captains and wrong setups,
       so i plan to get gold from Golds next dayes to fix it.
       Nothing new to share, kind of boring.
       Tromp is surely Top 1 fire maker ship, you get that knowledge by
       experience, you can totally ignore ships info about guns and
       fire making chanse probabilities. Just play, ezperience, and you
       get the truth.
       Tromp doesn't have smoke, so the playstyle is more risky,
       concealnent average, 3+3 torps are good, guns average, planes
       Top 1, speed the worst. So, you aim to burn radars and behind
       rock sitters.
       Alvaro must swim around rocks to press F key before going behind
       a rock. Torps very slow, guns average, cincealmwnt average. Can
       hunt Dds, not killing them but half kiling them and then
       isappear into smoke or behind a rock.
       I may try Winsconsin BB as well, but i must change captain setup
       to short range guns etc. It is fine to just lrioritize with it
       tactical targets, like shooring only Dds and radars. Any Bb is
       fine for that. It has a mavic button,  but it is useless in my
       opinuon.

       If i read Devstrike forum i see typical Wows community joy when
       anyone gets a premium ship. Either from a loot box or they buy
       and are utterly happy and believe that all premiums are good.
       The current newest premium cruiser Hildberg or what it's name
       was has planes, very bad concealment, and no radar. Those planes
       are totally ineffective, because they don't bring a victory
       closer and because such planes feature the important parts of
       the cruiser are nerfed down. From  DDs a similar is Halford
       which cannot make any effective input to the battle. Also Bbs
       like Kaersage just are ineffective, you waste time on weak
       planes while your ship does nothing effective. Spotting with
       planes is useless in Ranoms because the community ignores spots.
       In Rankeds it is much more effective to radar kill, or citadel,
       or torpedo kill, compared to planes spotting.
       If a player is nee to the game then understandable that they are
       happy to get a credit making premium, but for more older players
       such radarless planes cruiser with bad concealment etc is
       totally useless.
       If you are not a beginner anymore, then play Rankeds, use
       effective radar cruisers and effective playstyle, no Wows
       community capping mentality etc.
       Stalin, Petro, Mino, and few others. The less healthpool your
       radar cruiser has the more advanced skills you need. And
       question yourself why you like cruisers more than winning. If
       you like winning then play advanced ship types advanced way.
       For Randoms you can have 1 premium ship for credit making, it is
       pointless to have the most OP premium for Randims. It is fine if
       you obtain for Rankeds a cheat ship, but even then question
       yourself, who makes the victories in Rankeds then, is it you or
       your Op ship? Everybody has roughly 50% on wins in such team
       game, why to have a suffering about the remaining 50% lost
       battles or a greed to get a tiny percentage more victories than
       50? That's why buying even an Op ship for Rankeds is silly, but
       even sillier is to use it in Randoms.
       If you understand Dds then smoke+electronics premiums are OP,
       like t9 Black, t10 z42, if you want cruisers then crawling smoke
       cruisers with good torpedo tube angles, like Napoli, or heavy
       radar cruisers. Stalin with 14-12 conceal-radar ratio is a
       debatable choise, because radar usage is not effective with 14
       concealment, but the ship in overall is still effective, so buy
       that, but better if radar and concealment are almost equal,
       there are such premiums, but also tech tree radar cruisers are
       as good for such ratio.
       From premium Bbs just have any hydro Bb, from Cvs any Dd hunting
       Cvs or smoke setting Cvs, from Subs just those with longer torp
       range and quicker radar.
       Those are effective in this game version and give you an
       advantage. You can look Yoboy clan members ship choices in
       Rankeds, they use only Op cheat ships. I have heard from others
       as well that they mainly use such ship choices. For example our
       main nazi debator Haddi87: Cossack, z42, Napoli, nothing else.
       Of course t9 Black in t9 is these dayes most Op Rankeds ship. It
       is suitable for Randoms children as well. Just swim to a cap
       until you spot something, then stop and oress smoke and radar
       button. No other skills needed. In Rankeds you need little bit
       more skills with that ship but even there such dummy method
       works finely.
       Also note that i as a Diamond class player don't prefer any
       advantages but prefer disadvantages like flagless tech tree
       ships with advanced playstyle. Can you comprehend that? If you
       can comore, then question yourself again when you are
       considering to buy a premium ship. I buy sometimes for Steel etc
       just to widen my eyes, but i prefer to do Diamond certificate
       without those advantegeus ships and things.
       Also question yourself how many ships have you killed etc in
       total, if that is thousands or millions, then agree that
       mentally fine person shouldn't greed for make the number bigger
       and get more millions additional victories. Or, if you already
       are at Diamond kevel, then what more do you want? To get Titan
       certificate or what? Why you need all that? I did Diamond status
       and won all my contests only because to educate the cult and my
       debators, i myself don't need those achevements, and no need for
       additional ships.
       The only ships i really use from my account: Asashio, Shima and
       Haru line, nothing else. So, why you as a non Diamond member
       need more ships? Just become a Diamond member to prove your
       skilks if you want, and oreferably with a tech tree ship.

       Yesterday was Sprint 3 playerbase skillbase clearly lower again,
       better than in Childrens of course but worse than in Sprint 2.
       In one battle Mm had only 1 Dd that swimmed to the Easycap, i
       tried a Bb in that battle and just trolled all battle swimming
       to map corners around the Easycap and talked to him, an obvious
       loss because caps over victory mentality, plus scaredom and
       ignorance. In other battles other issues and look very boring,
       just trolling enterains now on. There is no motivation to carry
       the teams, i already carried in Sprint 2 as Diamond member most
       battles, plus had a competition that motivated, but not anymire.
       So, i can concentrate in new tactics, dialogs, Wikipedia
       content, or call it as trolling. Because really boring
       otherwise.
       The new popular Hildburg× cruiser seems to have more health
       points than light cruisers, but totally inefficent, i think it
       has 2 guns only like most those plane ships. If any of you want
       so much a premium, then buy the T9 Black, it suits Wows
       cimmunity capping mentality well, plus is additionally Op these
       dayes, you get your tiny addon to everyones 50% win rate for
       sure.
       The game has an issue that it sells goods that cannot be used, i
       mean T11 ships in Rankeds. I just cant get a battle with them.
       Maybe the solution would be make them less expensive, like not
       300k expence per battle but let's say 100k expence per battle,
       then they would become more frequent, and also add Tier 12.
       There is a new game mode where is an old sub game mode with 3
       sector caps inside each other. That is pretty good new map/mode,
       but of course it has Randims playerbase, so it is chaotic.
       I have now possibility to buy another Legendary module, but my
       few T10 ships allow in weird module slots those modules, you
       must give away concealment midule to get legendary addon, that
       is not reasonable.
       I had an idea to start practicing my one CV. It would take
       probably 400 Randoms from me when i feel confident with it. It
       is the most honerable respected advanced vwhicle type that
       requires most amount of skills, many weapon types, awareness of
       the map, etc. Maybe i will do that Cv  practicing, would be
       something more chalkenging. Right now it feels boring to carry
       Sprint 3 to Rank 1 with Shima.
       I would post plenty of yrolling replayes, but i used to do it
       years ago and the community immediatrly reports them. So i can't
       show the wisdom, maybe if i finally try to make a video where i
       can hide player names, then that would work.
       Which video editing and screen recording software do you
       suggest?
       Also, do you have any other ideas how to make the boring
       situation more interesting? I realky am bired to carry more the
       cult in Golds. I am obvioysly too lazy to grind new ships, too
       boring to play Rankeds and Randoms either.
       For you all it may feel chalkenging to get a Diamond cert but i
       have it already, boring to repeat. I think video making is the
       only wise next step, or maybe to quit playing for 1 month until
       the next Sprint 1. Not sure. One idea was to make an account to
       the Devstrike forum and entertain myself there for few dayes,
       but that is quite boring either, we all know the cult doesn't
       comprehend and bans, so i am too lazy for that thing too.
       Any ideas how to proceed, to bring any interest into the game?

       About my ship choices. I think most efficent is still honest
       Shima. Because those torps do much bigger profit than  my other
       ships' features. You can sink any ship with those 15 torps very
       easily while staying unspotted. Tromps planes make fires that
       maybe do few thousand damage but usually doesn't sink the
       target. So, comparing 2 features- shimas torps versus tromps
       planes- then torps is a more powerful feature. And Alvaros F key
       is an even weaker feature, it just makes few thousands damage if
       lucky with those F bullets.
       So, the honest Shima is more efficent than those 2 premium Dds.
       There are some other premium Dds that are even more efficent
       than Shimas torps, but i don't have those ships.
       I have also Daring and Haru. But Daring with 10km torps cannot
       reach radars, and many other Dds outgun Daring, so it is not so
       efficent ship. And Haru is also quite inefficent. On papers it
       seems to have strong guns but in reality so many ships outgun
       him. In overall honest Shima is very efficent, 2nd is Tromp,
       then either Haru or Alvaro, and Daring in the last position in
       efficency. But because my goal is not to recomplete the league
       efficently, then i think Tromp is the wisest choice, gives a
       different newer playstyle and experience.
       And then i have some radar cruisers, but cruisers playstyle is
       so limited, just dummy healthpool exchange and hoping that Dds
       can spot and hoping that your 2 radarings per battle are
       successful, just swimming to the main cap to the same location
       each time, really simplistic compared to advanced ship types.
       Then i have 1 Cv, but i don't know yet how to aim with it's 3
       weapons, it needs practice, until your every flight makes danage
       and you confidently can kill 1 Dd every battle. Right now i
       don't have such skills.
       So, the choise is limited and boring. Not sure whuch ship to
       actually use.
       I forgot to mention my 1 Bb choice Winsconsin, it is like all
       Bbs very simplistic, just turn your nise towards enemy Bbs and
       that duel ends usually in favour of other Bbs that have stronger
       nose. So that is the most primitive choise. And that Bb has no
       hydro either, short secondaries, the main feature seems to be
       long gun range, but you don't do such inefficent long distance
       positioning anyway.
       Plus all the mentioned ships have wrong captain setups and weak
       captains, and i have no gold to change that.
       But doing again Shima thung, that is too boring.

       In Rankeds Ideal torpedo range has a formula: max radar range in
       tier plus 1 km. So, in T10 radars have 12km maximum and ideal
       torpedo range is therefore 13km. Some Dds have sych 13km, or
       13.5km. Ideal because it enables to safely shoot torps towards
       those radar ships. 20km is not better than 13km because you
       don't stay 20km far from targets, it would be inefficent ti
       shoit from such distance. Inefficent because in closer range you
       spot additionally ships and also torps. So, 13km is ideal, but
       12km is not far from that ideal either, and you can call 12km as
       most optimal  therefore. In Rankeds.
       But in Randoms 20km range is more optimal.
       The ideal Dd would have 3 ranges choice: 7, 13, 20km. But the
       game doesn't yet have such ship, only few ships have 2 torpedo
       choices while in battles.
       The 8km range torps are used usualky when the battle is already
       decided and ending, there you can swim 6km far from targets. Or,
       if in the beginning of the battle some primates yolo or solo.
       The deciding phase of the battle is usually in the beginning and
       at the 12km torpedo range.
       In the very beginning of the battle where advanced play style Dd
       swim to the middle of the map for the first spot, the first
       torpedo salvo benefits if you have 13-15km torps.
       So, if anyone wants to debate against 20km torps as in general
       optimal choice, then the main argument is the radar range
       argument. You can phrase also this way that efficency per minute
       is higher when a Dd operates in 6-13km range and hence 12km
       torps obviously make more result in those ranges compared to
       10km or 20km or 8km range. Generally so.
       But can be given of course rsre counter examples, where 20km
       torp player swims to the middle of a map and sinks at 14km range
       a Bb. I did it many times, but i did as same often with 12km
       torps times. And in Randoms the torpedo dodging skill is so low
       that you easily torp Bbs and Cvs from even 18km range.
       In Gold league the most optimal choice is 12km.
       If you take a very bad DD, like Khaba with 6km torps, or Elbing
       with very slow torps but high hralth pool, then your efficency
       per minute us fine only if you find constantly Kamikaze torping
       2km ranges. You die less in Kamikaze style with those ships than
       with ordinary Dds. The guns of both those ships are inefficent
       comoared to kami torps. I can surely complete leagues with those
       bad Dds mainly by sinking 1-2 primates per battle. And obviously
       killing other Dds sometimes, but mainly Kami, and only close
       range situations make those bad Dds efficent. There is no place
       for fear while playig with them, no capping mentality.
       Thete is akso such averagely fine ship like Paolo, that can very
       efficently do Kami style through all leagues. I would even
       obtain i if it were available and i had resources. Not because
       efficency, Shima is more efficent for example, but for
       entertainment. But i have done Kami so many times and other
       things that anyway there is no bigger desire to obtain anything.

       The popular word Noob in the meaning of Beginner. One sure sign
       of such beginners is when they press the Fair Winds message
       button, but even more sure novice status is for those who
       themselves type that entire Fair quote into the chat. Mainly you
       see the Fair Winds message obviously in Randoms and not Rankeds,
       that is 1 proof why Randoms have lower playerskill base.
       Another sign of beginnerings is long weapon range. The longer
       the range in their setup the more sure is they have beginner
       level. The worse the concealment setup the more likely a
       beginner. The more favour in primitive ship types, the more
       beginner.
       Beginner sign is to be utterly happy of premium ships, even
       average players are obsessed with those but not so mstrongly as
       just a beginner.
       The more one repeats Wows community believes the more beginner
       it usually is. More skillful cult members are aware that some
       belives are obviously far from truth. For example all skillful
       know that a skillful CV play is extremely efficent, and they
       themselves may complete leagues with Cvs thetefore, and don't
       repeat so often that Cvs are somehow bad etc, but total
       beginners repeat that constantly.
       Beginner and average player is svared of close range combat,
       they repeat the naive Play Safe ideology. And for that they
       setup long weapon ranges as mentioned above.
       Sounds racist but i have never ever sen any skillful player from
       Ukraine, or who belongs to the UA* clans. In my generalisation:
       Ukraine=beginner. I understand there are exception, but in
       generally it is what it is, from my experience.
       You can't say that cap obsession and team split obsession
       belongs to only beginners, it belongs to every cult member. And
       also Stats worship as well to everyone.
       You can generalize that the obviously worst ship choices is a
       sign of beginners. If a Dd player has Khaba or any other bsd
       concealment ship, then it is clear that he doesn't understand
       efficency. Of course such plsyers can beaverage level players
       but jyst drunk and entertaining, sometimes.
       Teenagers call others beginners, grown ups don't do that.
       Wows community calls you Noob for any reason they don't like in
       you.
       I think i havent called anyone Noob for 4 years. But i call with
       oher words: racist, ra-pist minded, sadist, nazi, cult, mentally
       ill, etc, and i clearly stand for those words, prove them any
       time if needed.
       In a way emotional unstable behaviour gives a good spice and
       sparcle to any game. So, i do'n't think that calling anyone with
       any word is entirely wrong. But if it is based on clearly too
       sick community belives sysem, then it looks really sick. For
       example the stats worship is totally sick, no doupt in that.
       Thete is no reason to title anyone Bad or Noob based on
       delusional Stats. On the Stats page if you see Rank 1 in any
       seasons means the person has at least average skills. If the
       Stats page shows Super Randoms Unicum but no Diamond Rank 1,
       then he is an average or beginner player. If it shows Bad phrase
       in Soup rating but Gold R1, then he is a very skilled player.
       The last example usually goes to me.
       Noobs want experiences, so they ask for clan battles often.
       Experienced player like me has no desire in Clanss and have
       documented plenty of years reasons why.
       Beginners have very narrow awareness, they don't even notice
       that the battle time is almost over and other things.
       Beginner gets more skillful by talking, not by watching. Most
       don't talk and therefore most don't have skills and ae
       beginners.
       In any game and in all life areas skillful ones try to beat
       those who are more skillful than them themselves. Naturally.
       Because you don't learn anything from weaker ones. That's why in
       Wows skillful ones prefere Rankeds over Randoms. If you
       outperform o creditcardless kid and brag about it later then you
       are menally sick.

       Let's talk about PR
       Discussion
       PR, or personal rating, as defined on
  HTML https://na.wows-numbers.com/personal/rating,
       "The Personal Rating is measure of skill in World of Warships.
       It measures performance in every warship and compares it to
       certain expected values. Differences between actual and expected
       values are used to calculate final Personal Rating value."
       Imagine you are a beginner, having only played 500 games, and
       one day a friend or even some dude in the in game chat starts
       shaming you about your pr. Confused as to what pr is, you look
       up on google "world of warships pr", and you get to a stat page.
       Upon typing your name, you see a page of mostly red or orange
       numbers.
       This is exactly the experience I had, and I am sure many of you
       have had this or a similar experience to this when first finding
       out what pr was. From here, it is an uphill struggle. As you
       play more games, the more you start to check your pr, until you
       start to check you pr after every game session, or in some cases
       after every game.
       For me personally, it has gotten to a point where me having fun
       in this game is directly tied to whether or not (by my
       standards) I achieved a good pr day. The bad part about this is
       each game becomes extremely stressful, and any bad games (which
       are bound to happen at least once per session) make me feel
       excessively distraught. I know that I am not the only one that
       feels this way, I know many friends and clan mates who have also
       expressed feelings similar to mine.
       The unfortunate consequence is that I am now afraid to play
       ships that sink my pr. For example, I found the itallian cruiser
       line to be fun to play, but I always had that feeling that my pr
       was going in a sinkhole. Looking back at it, I would have had
       MUCH more fun grinding that line if I had never discovered what
       pr was.
       I believe that overall pr is not an accurate indicator of skill,
       and that it should NOT be treated as such. The reason for this
       is that there are so many ways to artificially bump up your pr
       without having the skill to back the numbers up:
       playing low tier ships can heavily inflate your pr, because a
       majority of the games played at low tier are by new players,
       thus giving an experienced player a huge boost as compared to
       higher tiers
       being good at playing destroyers will heavily inflate your pr; a
       good destroyer main will always be one foot ahead then a
       battleship in the pr department. This is due to the fact that
       bad destroyer play is punished HEAVILY as compared to bad
       battleship play, leading to the damage floor of dds to be
       absolute 0 while for BBs it is around 10-20k.
       playing old or historical ship lines such as any of the usn
       lines, the ijn destroyers, or the russian destroyers
       reroll accounts (all the non reroll accounts had to make up for
       thier first 1k red games, while the reroll accounts dont)
       And lastly, many clans use pr as a factor or requirement for
       allowing members into their clan. This results in additional
       stress while playing warships, and it encourages people to use
       the 4 methods of bumping up pr as mentioned above (I myself am
       guilty of some of them). Additionally, being good at randoms and
       being able to farm a lot of damage does not always allude to a
       player being amazing at clan battles, nor does being good at
       clan battles mean that one is good at randoms.
       I remember watching a twitch stream, in which well known
       streamer and o7 clan commander bfk_ferlyfe said: "When you are
       in a competitive clan, and once you have proven that you are a
       good comp player, nobody cares about your random battles play.
       However, in order to get into a good clan, you would generally
       need excellent randoms stats"
       We need to either improve the pr system to reflect one's overall
       skill more accurately, or stop being so pr obsessed and give
       people a chance to prove their worth in competitive.
       In any case, the bigger issue here is the stat shaming of new
       players that I see on a regular basis. We as a community need to
       STOP STAT SHAMING PEOPLE ABOUT THIER PR.

       Nothing new recently.
       New planes cruiser Hilder is extremely unpopular, don't see it
       almost ever.
       Bounty event was interesting few dayes and i got 10k Coal plus a
       camo from it. But boring now. Did some grinding to get EU DD,
       managed to get the T8 one, needs some modules and more grinding.
       The EU DDs have average concealment plus torps are the weakest,
       from T9 they become good, but T8-t6 are really inefficent.
       In the Devstrike forum people have weird believes:
       1. Randoms require more skills than Rankeds. I don't even bother
       to debunk it, so obviously wrong belief.
       2. Everything that doesn't look realistic deserves to be titled
       as Arcade. Again obviously misused term.
       3. Khaba is a good ship. That has been alwayes a popular belief.
       Well, in Randoms it can do finely if you have over average
       skills, ibut n Rankeds never. Just a weak cruiser who hopes to
       make fires. No other role.
       I haven't played Rankeds much because boring after you complete
       Golds in Sprint 2, but Randoms are boring too, so i don't know
       how long to continue. If anybody offered again 1 million
       challenge, maybe i would then get a motivation.
       Not all are stats obsessed in Devstrike. That looks boring to
       me. Can't get any debates from there, the community has changed
       little bit.

       T8 EU DD is almost ready, only 1 module needs to be grinded. I
       played already with stock moduls, in Randoms it is easy and
       victorious.
       In Rankeds the motivation is low, i wait to the next Season.
       If no motibation then it doesn't work well. I don't have Stats
       motivation, so i can't provide constant good resulst, it must be
       something like the Bounty event motivated few dayes, or 1
       million dollar quest, i am not sure if the next Rankeds Season
       will motivate enough. I think it will, so i try again Sprints
       1-2. Maybe i will try with EU DDs.
       I think it is boring to create a contest again here. I am too
       lazy to make any videos either. May happen that i quit playing
       the 2nd time soon.
       The naziest 1 million dept patient doesn't entertain either
       anymore, boring boring. And the community is not so obsessed
       anymore either, nobody to debate to anymore.
       I have 1 more gaming forum, that is boring as well.

       Nothing much new, boring.
       I got T9 OsterOland ready, only ca 100 XP needed to get to
       Halland. Without boosters grinding goes so slowly.
       I have lot of experience playing with Halland on my previous
       accounts, it is surely in Top 3 in my preferences, maybe Top 2
       after Shima.
       If Gearing has nothing unique then Shima and Halland have
       surely, even premiums don't have those unique sides. And those
       are torps. Shimas torps are strong and there are many of them,
       for example Haru and T9 Black don't have many but much less, and
       few cruisers/Bbs with Shima-like torps not many either,
       defenitely less than 15. And Hallands torps are also unique
       because of ultra narrow spread and speed, for example Daring
       have even more narrow spread if he wants but those are slow. And
       a typical DD like Gearing have nothing unique with torps or
       anything. That makes Halland and Shima both a needed ships for
       DD players.
       In very generally, Halland is not as dangerous and impactful as
       Shima, because weak torps. With Shima you can make your team in
       Golds win with 1 toroedo salvo, just kill 1 enemy from 5-6 and
       the victory is quickly yours. With Halland you must work longer,
       many salvos must hit to win in Rankeds by 1 kill. You can
       phrasecthat Halland is not very efficent compared to Shima, but
       it is enough efficent.
       If you have practiced torping art enough then you surely can
       complete the Golds with Halland. It is little bit more risky
       than Shima, because no smoke, slow speed, average concealment.
       But not so risky.
       It is at 6.0km concealment the same risky like Haru at 6.2
       concealment i think.
       The AA is unimportant, and 15km torp range as well, and the fast
       2 seconds gun reload as well. Only the torpss speed and reload
       is what matters in that ship. The HP regeneration button is
       fine, but nothing important either.
       You can still start all battles from swimming to the middle of
       the map to spot, but Shima does that tactics better of course
       because of the better speed. And on other maps you spot near the
       Difficult cap, never to Easycaps. On maps with 3 equal caps with
       no Difficult cap you can improvise which area to go, but mainly
       to areas where you can torp towards popular cruiser locations,
       or you do Pair DDs tactics and follow the other DD there.
       When the MM has outspottive enemy DDs then you get spotted and
       just chose safer swimming angles so that you can easier
       disengage and lose only few health and regenerate it. With Shima
       you can do more agressive angles in swimming, with Halland you
       can't.
       Those ultra narrow torps can sometimes miss, but not so often.
       You can't do 2km range Kamikaze torping against full HP enemy
       BBs, that tactics doesn't work with so weak torps.
       For CV MMs you can do more often Pair DDs with Halland.
       So, it is not very mighty ship, quite risky, but its uniqueness
       with fast torps is quite enjoyable.
       If Shima avoids gun usage almost always, then Halland sometimes
       uses it if the MM provides enemy Shimas or at half health
       Gearings etc.
       The captain build obviously puts 10 skill points until
       concealment and then the radio skill totalling 14 points. The
       remaining captain setup is debatable. Can be for example enemy
       shells dispersion option for 4 points plus the 3 points for 0.1%
       torpedo reload skill.
       Currently i have 12 skill points premium captain only in T9. And
       the legendary Mod for HP regeneration money ready for Halland.
       If you play mostly with Shima, then it becomes boring, that's
       why i usually used Halland as well as the 2nd choice.
       Beside grinding Halland, i saw the T9 DD Black on sale now at
       quite low price. It has very slow Shima-like torps, in my
       opinion it can be entertaining for DD players. Many call it as
       OP because of good concealment+radar+smoke combo. It surely is a
       unique radar DD because others don't have such concealment. So,
       i suggest it for DD players. Just be familiar with
       smoke+electronics DDs, like Z-52, Daring. I am not sure if to
       buy it even myself, because it is unique, i would enjoy it in
       Rankeds, and it is a small expense, but i am unsure still,
       because maybe i will stop playing totally.
       The other good offer now is T8 Cossack which has much better
       torps and everything compared to Lightning, and T8 doesn't have
       much radars so it perform really well, can be called OP. And
       again quite cheap, and again a suggesion that be familiar with
       DD hunting playstyle plus like such style.
       Of course i can unofficially suggest that you can get all named
       premiums and many additional ones in more cheaper ways. So, if
       you feel the game is good for you for longer time and you like
       many ships, then it is not wise to waste in premium shop 50
       money after every few months, and gring like mad, just put
       200-300 money in to get a bundle of ships more intelligent ways.
       After November ends it starts a new Rankeds Season, and this
       time from T8, not from T6. From my choices i can use Haru-line
       T8, or Shima-line T8 with torpedo reload, i am not sure which is
       better, it depends of how the popular choices appear in the Mms.
       But one idea is to try to complete with Cossack of course, it
       depends if i want to obtain it. And in Silvers and Gold i could
       try Black, if i decide to get it, or Halland and Shima
       typically. I have Tromp and Alvaro but their unique part is so
       inefficent, so i avoid them totally. Think yourself too, which
       ships you will use.
       No other news, kind of boring.
