With ShipComrade down and out, you can still find my reviews on the World of Warships NA Forums. I am looking into options on where to put the reviews where they'll be easier to find (including publishing them here, but Patreon isn't exactly well suited to accepting their format). For the time being, here is a list of all of the reviews from 2020 on the NA forums.
If you're looking for anything older, here is the master list. As ever, if you need to reach me, pl...

Alright, this is getting patently ridiculous at this point. I've been perpetually playing catch up for what feels like a year and a half now and it's really starting to hurt. On top of my health issues last year, Wargaming has accelerated their premium ship release schedule. I (foolishly) thought that with hard work, I could catch up and get back to releasing rev...

Work continues on Siegfried and Agir which will be review #150. I can't thank you all enough for your continued support which makes this work possible. I will hopefully have the double-feature of the O-class out sometime next week. Most of the writing is done -- I'm just struggling through some of the graphics.

I had really thought this would have been my 150th review and I was anticipating doing something a little special for it. But Wargaming finalized it on June 1st with notice that our content embargo would be up on June 3rd (so like, zero warning). I tried to have fun putting this one together and put in a lot of extra work.
I can't write more right now -- with this out ...
2020-06-08 22:21:27 +0000 UTC View PostWhat a month.
COVID-19 is making my life super-complicated. ShipComrade was down for a while. I lost my Patreon account password (which is why you're only getting this now). And to top it all off, Wargaming has been releasing ships in droves. It's been stressful.
Here's everything that was published in May:

Cheshire's review continues to be pushed back. I didn't have renewed access to Orkan until she was released on the live server which caused delays in getting this review out earlier. I want to try and keep abreast of releases that you can pay cash-money for as Wargaming delivers them, hence the further delays on Cheshire.

This is a bit later than I was hoping -- I wanted to see if the IFHE changes would stabilize on the test servers so I could preview them through this review but that didn't happen.

You don't know how happy I am to manage to get out five reviews in five weeks (Puerto Rico, Indomitable, Bajie, Wukong and Siliwangi). Thank you all so much for your support.

Here's the second short review of the Pan Asian trio that came out this week. There's one more to go and it's looking a lot more involved. Hopefully I can get Siliwangi's review out in a timely fashion. Thanks, everyone!

Here it is, guys. The last review of 2019. This review is kind of ending the year on a sour note, but it needed to be said.

Lert and I put together our list of the most memorable premiums of 2019 (link above). There's a contest embedded within it that I want you all to get a crack at:
Here's what's up for grabs:
A double feature -- not only a review on Gorizia but my commentary on the whole Puerto Rico debacle. Speaking of Puerto Rico, I'm trying hard to get a full review out of her before December 31st.

I worked with a bunch of my fellow CCs to try and figure out the odds and value of the new Premium loot boxes Wargaming has on offer. I hope this provides some helpful insight.

Well, I'm glad you asked. Yahagi is a typical Japanese premium. You may begin groaning now.
What Good About Her: Torpedoes, mostly. Yahagi has two center line mounted, quadruple torpedo launchers. These torpedoes deal 17,233 damage each with a 60 knot top speed and a 12km range.

Happy Tuesday, everyone. I'm still working on a full review of Smolensk (it's going well). Wargaming has decided to absolutely crush players with a glut of new premium and reward ships over the last 30 days. We've seen Smolensk, Ark Royal, Friesland, Thunderer, Ohio and Yudachi released which is insane. Even at my best, I couldn't keep pace with this schedule, n...
Where the heck did Tuesday go? Ugh. Vote results are tallied. I'm working on Smolensk -- she'll be the next review published. Friesland will be coming immediately after that because Dutch and Lert. :)
2019-09-11 05:31:58 +0000 UTC View PostI haven't updated this page since May. I let too many plates stop spinning when I got ill and this wasn't one of them I should have let get away from me -- not when you all have done so much to support me. Content has continued, and I didn't even update this page to let you all know. I don't have any excuses other than to say I'm sorry and I will try to do better.
Here's the list of everything that should have been updated here.

I'm struggling to just get through finishing covering the premium aircraft carriers. With that done, I really (REALLY) need to take a break. Sorry I haven't been too communicative, I'm really run down and I desperately need some recharge time when this last project is done.

Can I rest now? Is Wargaming going to magically unveil another ship that's finalized without notice? Can I have a couple of days to decompress and have a life? Only time will tell.
Hiho, I'm not dead, I'm just terrible. =_=
Good morning, everyone. I'm writing this while suffering from a bit of writer's block while staring at the last section I need to fill out for my Exeter review. My hope is to have it published some time today (provided I can find a couple of brain cells to rub together and finish it off). Wargaming made me a not very happy campy regarding her release. I expect this review to spark a bit of controversy.
I hope it go...

Alright, I'm almost done. I've got one more review to go and I'm finally (FINALLY) all caught up on the backlog. There's just HMS Dreadnought to do and I can get back to being responsible and take care of everything else I've been neglecting. Ugh. Sorry, guys. =_= I'll be more visible once I'm done spinning this last plate.
