Cheese, i find that it forgets my mapping sometimes.
I have one of those fancy mice(mouses/mices/mousi') with buttons just over the thumb. So i've set one as the arty cam.
Thing forgets it every load up and ends up with me turning on sticky keys for the first few games before i get fed up and wrestle the settings again.
Yeah, I must have another go at it. Strange. I have one of those fancy mice(mouses/mices/mousi') with buttons just over the thumb. So i've set one as the arty cam.

Wasn't the Tirpitz the sister ship of the Bismark? Seems strange to have a choice of two tier 8 battleships but maybe it's the start of the tech tress being padded out a bit.
The Warspite is/was the only British premium, but the Queen Elizabeth class battleships, of which she was one, will be a regular ship on the British tree.I'm also sure they'll do the same with Tirpitz and Bismark.
I wonder if they'll ever add the US Brooklyn-class cruisers to the game. USS Phoenix, a survivor of Pearl Harbour & the Pacific campaign, was sold on to Argentina to become the General Belgrano.
Another ship I think we'll see is the Portland-class heavy cruiser. The most infamous of this 2-ship class was the USS Indianapolis. She had recently dropped off enriched uranium for the first atomic bomb at Tinian island. While un-escorted and en-route to the Philippines, she was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine and sank in about 12 minutes. Due to several screw ups, her distress calls were ignored until a patrol plane happened to see survivors floating around several days later. By that time, many of the 900 crewmen who'd escaped the wreck had died. Several of them to shark attack (as anyone who's seen the film Jaws might remember). Of a ships company of 1,196 only 317 survived.

The reason I think they'll add it, is that Hollywood is currently making 2 films about this incident , which are due out next year. Yes two films apparently. One in production now has Nicolas Cage as the Captain, the other is rumoured to have Robert Downey Jr. in it.
With it being Wargamings 17th birthday this weekend I was curious to see what extravaganza WoWS would throw to mark this momentous occasion.
For the birthday bash they are offering....wait for it.....x2 instead of x1.5 for the first win of the day...and...AND....thats it.
Be still my beating heart.

How do you get your dive bombers to drop bombs on a ship, I just cant figure it out 
As mentioned above, pick your target the normal way, you then have to change the angle of attack, or the green balloon thing, to cover the length of the ship, giving the dive bombers a bigger area to attack. If the ship sees them, he may start to change direction so you may want to keep an eye on it and predict what direction it will end up facing. There is a manual drop again as normal, hold the alt key, however it gives you such a small area to drop in, u less the ship is stationary you will nearly always miss, plus I haven't noticed a big differance in damage between the two, so just stick to the normal drop.The main thing with the bombers is target choice, the bigger the target, the more bombs will hit, one you have predicted right, and the more damage and fires you will set. The other thing to realise, is the bombs themselves are pretty useless, it's the fires that do the damage, so timing is everything. Try to attack after some torpedo bombers have already damaged the target, that way, it will normally have used its repair ability to stop the flooding, so when you attack and set fires, they can't put them out, which causes a lot more damage. I've sunk a few bbs, and ccs, just by timing my strikes after a first wave of torpedo bombers, ( and obviously the targets were low in health anyway 😜) hope that helps
