Mornin'. - Standard Windows updates, we get them monthly it seems like. Windows was naughty to not let you just restart. A friend keeps encouraging me to switch to Linux but I am so tied to MS Office after so many years I can't imagine switching. - All Subs are dumb. This morning the Subs were in nearly every game I played, often in pairs. - Two Groningens and a Mogador walk into a bar . . . . . . . . - Ugly? I think the Duchaffault is one of the prettiest DD's in the game! 'Course, I Like the look of the Swedish DDs as well . . . - La Hardi at Tier VII goes to the 130mm guns; they gets a set of twin tubes on each side and a high mounted triple raised up to fire to either side. - L'Aventure at Tier VIII get six 130mm and three triple torp launchers. - They are improving Buffalo?! It makes no damned sense, but, YIPPEE!

Second note on the new French DD line. - Someone mentioned in chat that they were really jack-of-all-trades, masters of none. The torps load too slow, once the guns are 130mm the are solid but not spectacular, speed boost helps. I don't think they are bad boats, practicing DD tactics in the Duchaffault and L'Aventuruer is good for me as I do not have the smoke to cover me so I am focused on my concealment range and popping in and out to HE cruisers and BBs. - I think adding the Submarine Surveilence would give these ships an edge, get them played.

As someone who grew up on the Olympic Peninsula in the 60s and 70s, I learned to love Curling. You had to; TV stations in Seattle were hard to get on the antenna, but CBC and an independent station out of Victoria BC were clear. I do love watching Curling during the winter Olympics.
