Hey all - interesting in playing with you guys sometime if the time zones work out. However, in the server dropdown, I can only select “WOWS NA.” Are you guys all EU? Is there any way to switch servers?

Edit: Figured out how the switching happens. Before I do it I do want to check what times you folk regular play - as with PS2, it may just be impossible due to the time zone difference.

I think you can select EU but you won’t have any boats that are on you NA account, which is a shame but that’s how it works. Not the same entity as far as WG is concern.
I play most nights if I can, usually between 21h to 23h UK time on week nights (starting time depends on family commitments), a bit later on week-ends.

Typically you can find somebody from 1800-2200 UK time, sometimes out of that. We’ve got a group of newer players at Tiers III-IV, with the rest of us generally playing VI-VIII.

Sounds good! I haven’t done too much on my NA account so I’ll get that switched over

Sadly, making a second account proved to be a total nightmare -even downloading the seperate client, etc, it kept redirected me to the NA site and I accidentally used my only alternative email - and my ASUS code I got with my MOBO - on a second NA account. Which means I’d have to file a support ticket to get that deleted, etc. There’s a point at which I think it makes sense to just respect Wargaming’s wishes I not play in a different region (even if that means I won’t really play the game) and if they ever drop that restriction I’ll join you guys

That’s a shame.

In other news I bough a new premium ship, the Kutuzov. I like it a lot, getting 7 citadels on a stupid Ibuki in my second match in it does help. It’s the ship the Atlanta aspires to be I think. Ok concealment, excellent gun arcs, smoke, good torps (for a non-ijn cruiser). Small caliber guns means crappy base damage though.

I hope it wasn’t me in that Ibuki, I don’t remember being sunk by a Kutuzov. To be honest I wonder why I bothered getting tier IX as at the moment there are too many BB to play cruiser at that tier, 4 game over the weekend and 2 were I got deleted by BB in (almost) one shoot, one time being angled, the other bow on, great stuff.
Just spam HE with it, it works fine, I have been on the receiving end of one and it is annoying as hell. AP is not bad I think if you go against CA or aim for the superstructure of BB. I think it’s a very solid ship, not sure it’s better than Atago however.
I might buy it at one point but I am having to much fun with the shiny horse, this ship is great.

[mrpier]

Yeah, it’s a long/mid range firestarter for sure. But any cruiser giving me full broadside at <5km is going to regret it and let me do two salvos as well.

It’s not better than the Atago, but it might suit my playstyle better, bit early to say with so few games in it.
