Working on my Tier 5 Russian right now.

I'm amazed at how many port slots I was able to amass without paying anything. I need to buy something to support the company, but I'm not dropping Tirpitz money, and Atlanta is just a little too expensive for me too. Plust most of the cruisers available for purchase are Tier V, and I enjoy the gameplay just a little higher up.

My Cleveland is sitting on a pile of XP thanks to keeping it around after moving on to the Pensacola. 

Okay, we've had a lot of WOWS Talk.  Let's talk WOT for a bit.
WOT is the game that I love to Hate.   No game has ever frustrated me more.  And no game has ever made me so addicted.  I limit myself to only a few matches every once in awhile. 
The tanks I love in WOT are as follows:
M4E8 "Easy Eight":  My #1 favorite tank has become the Easy Eight.  It's not the best at everything, but does everything very well.  It's a well rounded tank.  It's armor though, is rather thin and hits really hurt.   But it's overall agility is helps keep you from taking too many.  And it's top gun option is both very punchy and has a fast reload.  I've used it to kill things far above it's weight class and tier. 

VK30.01(P):   A painful grind to get it fully upgraded.  But once topped out, with a 100% grew, it's Germany's Easy Eight.  A very well balanced tank.

Tiger (P):  The Porsche Tiger is a lot less agile than the Tiger 1, but it has Armor that allows you shrug off things that would have crushed the normal Tiger.  And it has the same gun as the Tiger that delicious 88.   A great tank for Assault missions or holding a choke point... Just don't get flanked.

Tiger 1:  Fully upgraded, you can see why this got such a scary reputation.  When you are in this tank, at Top Tier - it's a monster.  It can move well, and it's gun is devastating.  At low tier - you will die.  You just will.  Because everyone like killing tigers.  But it's still a great tank that's well balanced.  That top level 88 cannon will make you smile when you take big meaty bites out of the enemy.

Cromwell:  The key to Cromming is to drive it like a BMW driver... Just be the A-Hole on the battle field.   Look for anything that's been damaged and is faltering and sweep in on it and steal that kill, put shots up other tank's rears, and zoom off laughing, only to come back and finish off the job.  The Crom is fast and agile and build of all the obscenities the brits could muster.  It's the Hooligan of the whole British line.

Comet:  This is the Hooligan that's grown up and become a bit more wiser.   It's not as fast, but it's mobility is still very good and it's gun is quite rapid.  This tank is build for harassing the enemy... to death.  But...   You will bounce more shots than you are probably used to, so you have to pick your targets, aim carefully, and then Ninja Vanish.  Luckily, in the Comet - you can.  It's game play is different, but fun.  One of the most engaging tanks.

Covenantor:  Sneaky little bastard.  Put the Howitzer on it and lob wrecking balls over hills from where they can't even see you... Fun times.   And if you don't like that... the 40mm Bofors can really bring the pain to the game.

KV1S:  With the 122mm Durp Cannon, this tank is a hoot.  Kinda painful stock... it seems like you can't damage anything.  But once upgraded, it really comes into it's own.  Upgrade everything and you will realize you are having more fun in it than you probably should.  And with that big fat cannon that 1 Shots tanks that use to haunt you - you find yourself grinning and laughing evil laughs.  It's a good one.  The base KV1 is almost as good in the same configuration, but the Sport model's additional speed make it just serious fun.  On City Maps, you become Jack the Ripper.

I had been totally in love with the FV304, the British SPG.  But in a recent patch they made it twice as large, twice as visible, and completely unplayable and totally ruined.  So... I'm done with it.   I'm keeping it in my garage for sentimental value only at this point, but might sell it and transfer the crew to something else.

I played a bit of WOT today.  And I kinda started to fall in love more with the Comet.   I'd probably bump it up to the #2 spot, and put the VK30.01P into #3.
Oh, and I sold my FV304.  Kept the crew though.  Always keep the crew, especially if they are 100% with second skills.
I might put them in something else.  Maybe if I develop a Brit line of TD's I might put them in there.

I did WOT for a bit but I found WOWS something I got more into a lot easier. Probably worth another look though.

As for WOWS, I'm finding with a good team it's great. With a crappy team even if you loose it can be quite fun to go down in glory. The other day I was on my SC battleship, last on my team, and the other team had a cruiser (forget the class) and a SC class battleship of their own left. Sunk the cruiser and went at it with the other teams SC. Match was a draw, our guns finished reloading at the same time, we both fired a full broadside, and we sunk each other at the same time. It was probably the match I've had the most fun with yet.

Course, then there was yesterday when I decided to try playing a destroyer for the first time and managed to get more torpedo hits on my own team than the enemy...

She was the Furry Taco when I had bad games in her, and the Fury Taco when she walloped most of the enemy team. She's ike the girl with the curl. Right in the middle of her forehead. It is such a painful change of pace from the Kuma, which is like an overgrown Destroyer, high rate of fire, torps, fun to play and forgiving. Enter the Furutaka... slow firing, slow turning turrets, not stealthy. She really is like a pocket battleship, but once you start raking in citadels with her 203's... changed my mind about her. Which was a good thing as I really liked Furutaka, Aoba, and now the Myoko. Was she good? Oh no. But you can have fun in bad cruisers, and bad destroyers. Battleships though? pain and misery. Too slow, too high dispersion, and too much damage concentrated. I had a Kongo game with 5 kills and 8 hits total. As much fun as that was it is just dumb.

How to Furutaka

I think the Kirov is becoming my #1 favorite - edging out the Cleaverland... because nothing says "Screw You" like close range torp spreads.
Scores might not be the highest out there - but these were all Seat of the Pants slug fests.   So satisfying. 

I actually like the Carriers.  Looking forward to something a bit better than the Langley though.

Most of mine are T5 too, but only thanks to all the silly colored Kongos they gave for the ARP missions. 

I'm with you on carriers. I just couldn't push through past the Langley. I will let other people enjoy them, while I penetrate, burn, and flood them. 

You mean like this one?  I got two of them actually.  This one... and one that is "Light Red".   
They are actually really nice ships.  Especially this one, which is basically a fully decked out Kongo for free.  Though I can't understand a word the little girl is saying because I don't speak Japanese.
I really don't get the whole ARP thing at all.  If you took out the Sci-Fi BS, and the Japanese School Girl BS, it could actually be pretty cool.  But I don't see the appeal of LJSG's in everything.  (Little Japanese School Girls)  I find it disturbing Anime's (and some people's) fixation on them. 

Yep,  having all the protagonists be 15 years old absolutely ruins a lot of anime.   

Since I got the ARP Kongos... I bought the first German BB, the Tier III.  And I went back and played the New York as well. 
Trying to get a handle on being a BB Skipper.  It's probably the toughest Type to play.

But I'm digging the BB's this time around.

And... Because of the hilarity of that video about the Fury Taco... I've been trying to get it down too.  Oddly though, Fury Tacos never gave me problems before. 
 

At max range, I'll lead say a BB which is normally 5 seconds, out to 15 seconds.   And use the Reticle that gives you the angle marks... But I forget which one that one is called.  It's in the Graphics Settings...
So when a ship is angling on you... you can find that angle to gauge the lead time and where to hold... and then give them a Salvo of Love.
