A huge difference as well is the nerf to IJN carrier loadouts.  You can't get 3 TB squadrons until T9 and it forces players to have a fighter squadron which should help a little in protecting allied ships.   All the changes are great (imo), but carrier captains certainly aren't happy.

There was nerfing all around.  Other than battleships, perhaps. 

Some of it was needed, some was a bit too much.

Here's how to enable match replays in WoWS, with a text edit, and some hotkeys for watching them:

Evidently it's possible but just not implemented in the UI yet (among other things).

May be ideal for recording, if you want to do so.  Or just watching a good match you just had.

Heading on to the next tier in Japanese destroyers (with Wakatake), and finally the South Carolina BB.  Fun times!

Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

My favorite ship so far is my Tenryu cruiser because it has torpedoes as well as its guns.

I want to disagree, but I can't.

Since it got nerfed in the recent update, the Minekaze isn't the best of the bunch anymore.  That now goes to the next one, Tier 6 Mutsuki.

The Minekaze's detection range was increased and it's upgraded 10km torpedoes were dropped in favor of the 7km ones.  It's still fast, so that helps.

The T6 Mutsuki has the 10km torpedoes and almost the same detection range.  Slightly slower but still does 37+ knots.  Going from that to the Tier 7 is almost identical other than the detection range being even worse (a damn downgrade *sigh*), including that of your torpedoes' sighting range. 

Both US and Japanese DD lines still have an issue where some higher tiered ships are actually a downgrade from the previous one.   T4 & 5 american destroyers are pretty good, then there are two or three after that which are worse for the most part.   ::) 

I expected the balancing to be mostly perfected by the time this hit open beta but I guess not.  I get the impression that Wargaming.net hasn't committed as much effort to WoWS development as they did WoT.

DD's are a hoot.  Nothing like going all in an dtearing up a new one on a bigger ship, like Acasta did with Scharnhost in '40  O0

I like the cat and mouse of getting behind the lines and nailing carriers and battleships.

Yes indeed! It felt great when I slipped my destroyer past the enemy team's defenses and sank a carrier today.
