Yuzorah from The Daily Bounce is back to business

 Welp...


Hello. I am Yuzorah, previously a writer for the website The Daily Bounce. Allow me to welcome you to my new blog... YUZO'S YAPPING!!! 

🎆🎆 TADAAAAA!!!!! 🎆🎆


Where was I? Why am I back?

So... it's been about 3 years since I announced I was taking a break from writing articles for The Daily Bounce. 

Turns out... It was such a long break that the website no longer exists.
Rest in peace, The Daily Bounce. You will be missed.
Essentially, what got me was an accumulation of massive burnout, growing frustration towards the game's balancing, and leftover stress from the competitive side of the game. The 2 months I spent in the jungle in Costa Rica effectively sealed the deal and made me realize I really needed to just... let go.

The thing is, after all this time, I started to feel a little regret about leaving all that stuff behind. I missed controlling big digital boats with fat guns, missed looking at their 3D models in detail, and missed informing people on the ships that were coming to the game.

Now.... that's nice and all, but as I said earlier, The Daily Bounce is gone. Or rather... Harkonnen, who was the boss and was paying for the website, stopped doing so since there was nobody left to write articles. As such, someone else bought the domain name and... I cannot stress this enough, DO NOT search for it. Just don't.
Let's just say that... the new owner gave "Bounce" a different meaning, if you know what I mean...

What to expect?

So anyway, what's on the menu for this new blog? 

Well, effectively the same thing that I used to do. I will be covering in detail the new ships entering testing. Their historical origin, their stats, their armor profile, etc., and give my early opinion. 

For a time, though, there will be no final reviews of ships getting released. I'm not a Community Contributor anymore or a Privateer; that means no access to ships in testing, and I don't have the budget to buy everything coming out. Let's see if I can change that if the blog gains some traction.
Also, I'm gonna be clear about this: don't expect me to cover the entirety of new tech tree lines when these get announced. Writing these articles takes time, and with my job eating most of mine, I am still limited in the number of articles I can pump out. I will do my best, though.

If I find interesting stuff while digging through the game's GUI, don't worry, I will also cover that.


In any case, we are now back to business.

Supertest: French Tier X Premium Cruiser Latouche-Tréville

Since I am back to writing articles and the public test isn't up yet, I thought I might as well go with one of the ships in testing on the live server and... you guessed it, I picked the French one. It's also an opportunity for me to look at how the stuff I used to do on WordPress translates on Blogger. I will have to see if I stick with these HTML tables or find another presentation style. Historical background Just like her predecessor Carnot, at tier IX, Latouch-Tréville is based on a fusion of two French designs of large cruisers from the 1920s. These designs would eventually lead to the Dunkerque-class battleships. In 1926, in an effort to counter the Italian Trento-class heavy cruisers, the Chief of the Naval General Staff, Admiral Henri Salaun, requested a new series of capital ships. The initial design called for a 17 500 tons battlecruiser armed with a main battery consisting of two quadruple turrets with 305 mm guns and with both turrets at the front (in game, Toulon...

Well, might as well start with the big one for the 15.8. The last member of the Iowa-class battleships is finally joining the game after 11 years! Ladies and Gentlemen.... The USS New Jersey. Historical background The USS New Jersey BB-62 is the second ship of the Iowa-class of battleships from the U.S. Navy. The ship was laid down on the 16th of September 1940, launched on the 7th of December 1942, and commissioned on the 23rd of May 1943. She was nicknamed "Big J" or "Black Dragon" due to her early career's uniform dark blue color scheme. New Jersey holds the title of being the most decorated battleship in the U.S. Navy's history with a grand total of 19 battle stars, including 9 during the Second World War, 4 during the Korean War, 3 during the Vietnam War, and finally 3 during the Lebanese Civil War and during her service in the Persian Gulf. New Jersey joined the Pacific theater in early 1944, where she initially provided cover for aircraft carriers bef...
