+1 lol

And one person i hate facing when there using a KM BB is tomatoxxi i think hes one of the best using KM on kaiser server.

Well, back in the day, the bases weren't too different. The problems back then was that there weren't macro users saturating the market with +12s. There were LEGENDS of +12/+11 gunners whereas they are reasonably common these days...

The main barrier to a good crew in beta was a lack of information (no-one had any guides or anything on crew, it was just a bit of a wing it job... Airwind contributed to this massively lol), and also a lack of points ot actually roll...

In Beta you didn't have the points to upgrade your sailors on time a lot of the time so they either got taken off the ship to weren't leveled 100% properly. You also NEVER had the Credits for the next ship...

@ splid
Ah yes i heard of airwind from kiosk, also heard back then the guidelines were relative to a ships true range of the guns and the fact he was the first AW KGV player with blockshotting quads, he would just kill players from start of alpha to the other start points because he memorized the location.

I heard some pretty crazy stories of back in the beta days of how little exp and cred/points were earned so i can imagine it being something very difficult and having to spend a extreme amount of time in a ship. Also a quick question how rare was 12/12 gunners? i know they still are but i assume those were a set of gunners that would go for insane amounts of credits. At least by the standards of beta where a couple mil to maybe 0 mil was a extremely impressive amount of credits.

@back to topic

Just 3 days left then ill be quite pleased to play my h44 although i may play my russian stuff since i really want to finish leveling it perhaps get it to bb5 then terrorize the server again still mostly up in the air but i do have another set of gunners to level for Germany so i will be in the 44 or 39 from time to time.

I can't quite remember that but Airwind basically was unkillable for a short period of time. Stupidly high Soft Defence meant he was insanely hard to kill and he could just go around 1 shotting everything else in the game quite happily...



There was a rumour of some 12/12 guns that circulated. The player in question was Cornelie I believe, but I can't remember ever seeing conclusive proof that they existed. Some swore they saw them, others not. I don't think that account is in the hands of original Cornelie any more so we may never know :)

A GrieferLord has shown up on the Forum Radar sir!

On the note of 12/12 gunners, I believe there's quite a few sets of them around now due to the sailor macros.

DRAT! DEPLOY STEALTH COUNTERMEASURES!

@angus if there have been then i have not seen any thus far but if someone does have a pair congrats to them. If ya macro rolled for it though then shame on you.

@myg0t1 huh never heard of him actually perhaps was on missouri or arizona when i started or he was gone by then.

Now that i have actual connection again i will start finishing some other crew leveling and periodically play my h44 i have my second set of gunners to level up anyway!
