I'm not really going to be playing much of games until HoI4 comes out. I have to really get ahead in my summer college classes, and work on some other things. The game should come out right at about the time I will be stable enough in everything else to put a bit more time into games, so that's perfect.

i picked up the new DOOM game. high difficulty, generic rooms filled with demons and metal music is a nice distraction and a lot of fun

I also am a big fan of Warmachine and Hordes, the tabletop game from Privateer Press. Skorne 4 lyfe

I just bought Uncharted 4 yesterday (I love this series), but I'm also playing Darkest Hour, OOTP, War Thunder, Witcher 3 and XCOM 2. I'm reading The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson.

Currently, I'm mostly playing Stellaris and Tales of the Borderlands. I plan to work a bit through my huge Steam backlog, but I usually get sidetracked by something new.

... Like Factorio that I read about in this thread and that sounds awesome. Gah.

WoWS doesn't have anything like artillery from WoT. Destroyers, battleships, cruisers and carriers can nuke a ship, but the ship in question has to have done something to deserve it. I.E. allowed a destroyer to get into point blank range, not changing speed and maneuvering from time to time (torpedoes take a long time to reach the target from beyond detection range, so they miss if the target changes heading or speed), going off on your own lacking AA, or sailing full broadside to battleships/cruisers firing AP. Idiots whine about carriers, but you can typically mitigate a lot of potential damage carriers put out by turning into the torpedo bombers and maximising the time they spend in your AA range trying to line up a shot. Alternatively, you can stick in a group, ideally with a cruiser that has the AA defensive fire ability. Carriers themselves play like a basic RTS, and there is a lot of skill involved in lining up good attacks while trying to avoid enemy fighters or excessive amounts of AA.
Any recommendations which navy to play?

Thinking about buying Total War Warhammer but can't quite get over all the crazy magic stuff and flying griffins etc...

Strange as when I was younger I actually collected the figures and built a sizeable Empire army.

Any recommendations which navy to play?

Depends on your playstyle. 'Muricans have Superior Firepower and lots and lots of guns whilst the Japanese have extremely effective torps. (Think range and numbers). I'm not really sure how the other factions are faring. Last time I played the German cruiser and Soviet Destroyer line just came out. I couldn't really place the Germans in any category. I played until tier IV but I got really tired of the low shell velocity (meaning low damage) (Turns out that's just part of the grind, the tier V has extremely high shell velocity and I heard it's an absolute beast.)so I decided to try the commies.They have an extremely short range for torps on their destroyers but high damage and pretty good guns. You really need to know what you're doing but I really liked playing with them when I got the hang of it.

Played most of my games with the Americans though. I loved the tier V Omaha (had the highest Shell velocity in the game until it got surpassed by German ships) and I had a great time with the tier VI Cleveland. Me and another friend were top-tier once in our Clevelands (the only tier VI in the game), and we completely shredded the opposition. Just went straight center towards their Aircraft Carriers killing everyone in our way. We splitted almost every kill between ourselves that game. :p
