Angled New York shits on angled Kongou.
Angled New Mexico shits on angled Fusou.

>>127346030
>Muh superior firepower
Spoken like a true scrub m8

>>127346030
If only armor angling was the lone deciding factor.

>>127346227
Superior firepower and superior armor. You're delusional if you think either of those could beat the usn counterparts if two were of equal skill.

>>127346246
NY has 18km range, NM has 17km range without plane. 18km is plenty, 17km is a little short but spotting plane is more than enough to get inside 17km. NY has more turrets than Kongou and NM can get more shells on target while being decently angled due to Fusou's turret placement.

Literally the only thing IJN has is speed. While a huge downside of USN BB's, it doesn't matter nearly as much while in a fight.

>>127346802
IJN has better dispersion. Especially the vertical one, it's like 3 times smaller.

Is it worth buying the 10% range upgrade for BBs?

>>127347546
Why wouldn't it be? It may not be the first upgrade you should do, but eventually it's good to have.

Phoenix is such a bag of shit.
Steering gets hit every time, horrible camo and the guns hardly make things better.

>>127347693
But dispersion is so bad at long ranges

>>127347992
Better than not being able to shoot at all when you need it.

>>127347546
Only for USN BB's.

>>127347992
You don't snipe from range as USN BB's. It's to have extra range to punch IJN BB's and cruisers while closing distance.

but how do I find the destroyers and be close enough that cleves long shell travel time isn't long?

cleveland can barely even hit a cruiser at 14km if it's actively dodging. Do I just bumrush popular DD spots, leaving myself to get fucked by BBs and potentially torpedoes?

>>127351419
basically, it will show up as "Myoko" or "Kongo"

with the arpeggio port enabled, it'll show up as "ARP Myoko" or "ARP Kongo" with the skin enabled

also playing on ARP Myoko/Kongo will affect your regular stats on Myoko/Kongo

I don't have either of those, hell I don't have anything in the burger tree.
I was getting loads of citpens when I was playing, all my games were going pretty well and I was getting lodsa damage, it was just that it was nothing but big damages until they had like 100 health left and then someone else would get the kill because lol BBs.

>>127369660
?

You know, AA is a meme for a different reason, not that it's ineffective except at tier 9/10.

>>127370116

>>127370116
Maybe, but 10 games in a row without any carriers gets annoying.

So, he has returned.

I got demo expert on my udaloi DD captain and its giving me a 10% fire chance. Does the Damage Control System Modification 1 module literally reduce that chance down to 3% for anyone who uses it? Do most people use that in higher tiers? If so I should probably consider replacing that with Last Stand and forget about fires being my biggest source of dps like it used to be in my pre-nerf Kiev.

Fuck, I forgot the brackets. It's 4.3%. You should get the idea anyway, 7% is how much fire chance is reduced, i.e. 10%*0.93, not 10%-7%.

Every ship in the game has basic fire prevention chance. It's 45% for Yamato and significantly less for other ships so it's 4.3% chance to set fire to Yamato and more than that to other ships.

Do you guys actually compliment people?

Well the star destroyer's armor is designed to protect against heavy laser weaponry. I'm almost 100% positive it would stop an 18-inch shell, so for that reason I vote star destroyer (and also Trump)

>>127392987
Thats the thing though, the shield is only good against laser weaponry. It doesnt do anything to tie-fighters, X-wing fighters, or a 16-inch shell heading towards it. So basically its ineffective against physical objects

>>127393185
So it would be damaged if I threw a baseball at it?

>>127393363
you probably would put a small dent in in the hull and owe the captain an apology

>>127390712
It really depends on how strong a Star Destroyers shields are in real world terms such as amount of energy it can absorb before failing. We never see a definitive kinetic or explosive weapon used against a Star Wars ship. SD shields seem rather susceptible kinetic attacks, since suicide attacks are a real problem, using the Executor-class as an example.

An SD is 1600 meters long compared to an Iowa which is 270m or a Yamato which is 250m.

Just 1 of every ship tier 6 and above would probably do quite a bit of damage. Assuming the torpedoes can function in space as well, if you get enough of them off you may overwhelm the point defense depending on what side you fire them from as well. The hundreds of fighters and bombers from the CVs can also help in overwhelming the shields in that regard. They can even kamikaze themselves into the shield generators to really fuck things up, but we are going to ignore that.

This is all assuming the SD isn't moving much at all since it can go very fast and maneuver if it wants to in comparison to a ship.

The Navy would incur heavy losses but I think they would come out on top assuming no suiciding, or at least disable the SD enough that it isn't a threat. Assuming suiciding, the Navy would come out on top much better.

Assuming the SD can maneuver the Navy gets absolutely shit on except in cases where enough fighter/bombers can suicide into it and disable it at heavy pilot losses.

>>127392987
It's meant to stop Heavy Plasma weaponry, and most of that is done by the shields. Even then the best thing you can do against large bursts of ionized gas is disperse the heat as quickly as possible from point of impact. Materials that do that may not be very strong against kinetics.

>>127393363
>>127393765
No, the particle shields protect against that so they can survive things like asteroid fields, but they work both ways, and have to be dropped (around the entire ship) to fire weapons or deploy fighters.

>>127393185
So you're saying armor that would stop a bigass laser would be incapable of stopping a dinky little 3,000lb shell?

>tfw still no Tones to stop the boats

>>127394110
Stopping energy is completely different from stopping mass, didn't you do physics in high school?

I think I've fallen in love with CV's, I'm having a blast! I'm doing a lot better with them than any other ship type so far despite only having a silly little Hosho.

I did want to ask though, for CV's specifically, which country should I invest in first for the better carrier at higher tiers? I noticed that the American CV's have no issue bullying my planes for the first half of the game. The OP says that Jap planes are supposed to be faster, but the Americans have no trouble chasing my fighters down and destroying them, meaning I have to be super sneaky with my bombers. Are the American CV's more effective?

The "lasers" in Star Wars is plasma, even the "light"sabers are Plasmasabers

It's just ionized gas, stopping it is mostly a matter of heat dispersion over anything else and a little bit of kinetics since the gas isn't that dense.

Technically, the Taihou and Hakuryu at t9 and t10 should have the same potential as the Essex and Midway, but we need more numbers to see if the 0.5.2 patch actually works this way.
The grind up to tier 9 is pretty decent for IJN CVs, but until you get to Lexington, you're going to have a tough time with USN CVs.
Keep in mind that you should always be using strike loadouts on IJN CVs except for Ryujou, and that you should always use stock/balanced loadouts on USN ones.

Because kinetics at one point existed but because Star Wars has a really fucked up and long history,everyone kind of forgot about them in place of blasters over many tens of thousands of years, and no one has really developed any slugthrowers for years except maybe in the unexplored outer rim, let alone a slugthrower worthy of being on a spaceship of some form.

Pretty good botes so far.

>>127395921
Think about it like this, most modern armies don't worry about protecting their soldiers against swords and arrows right? While a kevlar vest with plate might protect your chest from a hit, modern infantry aren't very well protected against some one using a blade in close combat.

Same idea in Star Wars, everyone has been using energy based weapons exclusively for so long, they don't really think about protecting themselves from kinetic weapons.

7/42 is team battles, like in WoT

>>127393872
Going by the expanded information from the novel, Executor had her shields dropped temporarily by pretty much half the rebel fleet focus-firing her. (The "shield generators" on te bridge towers are actually a sensor array she lost after her shields dropped.] Then an A-Wing crashed into her bridge, causing a temporary loss of control, which caused her to crash into the Death Star.

Up until she crashed into a moon-sized artificial object, she was banged up, but not even remotely dead. Basically same thing that would happen to a classic battleship if you took out the centralised fire control and bridge - it's combat capability and ability to act in a coordinated fashion would be impaired, but it wouldn't actually sink and the individual gun emplacements would still be able to keep up shooting at targets of their own volition.

They haven't, they still could it's just much harder for them, our kinetics tech is much better.

We know about plasma but we don't have the Tibanna gas to create a weapon easily from it. Same deal, Star Wars doesn't have knowledge of gunpowder or other chemical propellants to easily propel slugs to decent velocities.

unless you've got money to blow probably not, just because it's stupidly expensive (was like 60 ausbucks in the cheapest package) but after I was dumb enough to buy the thing it has actually turned out to be a really enjoyable ship
with AP it tears through seemingly everything, I was even getting decent damage with a few shots against a Yamato using plunging fire and against the Nagatos I've been able to fight in the past you can do thousands of damage per salvo with a 9 second reload

>Q: Will the sale of "Gremyashchy"?
>A: We have declared that before July 1, we will not sell it. If we talk about selling it - no one bothers us, but plans no such: it is necessary to consult with colleagues in the game design, whether it is necessary to do so. Feels like - makes no sense. Money will not bring us to this, but those who believe in the project and made a pre-order will be somewhat annoying. We have and so is "angry." It will be another ship close to him, but another nation.

>Q: Will you sell Gremyaschy?
>A: We have previosuly stated that we will not sell it until July 1 at least. Talking about selling it, there is nothing stopping us but we don't plan to: we should consult with game design department if we should do it or not. It feels like there is no reason to. It won't make us money but people who believed in the project and pre-ordered may feel offended. We already have Gnevny. There will be another ship close to her but it will belong to another nation.

Not sure if graphics bug, (really) ugly cell shading, or my computer is dying.

>>127410585
Killing 5 ships is easy enough in tier 1. Just load AP on Hermelin and rack up the citpens. 50 fires at tier 1 is absolute pain, though. And for 100K credits, fuck that.

>>127413545

i meant how WoT splits lines up. WoWs should have line splits

>>127415407
>kongo is 250mm belt with the B hull fagget
No. All the hulls are 203. Actually, the A hull is 203.88.

>>127415407
WoWs doesn't even have brits yet, they don't have time to make additional lines for finished trees. Not to mention there are no battlecruisers for tiers 9 and 10 except some retarded bong projects. The only thing they can do is splitting tier 8 into Amagi for speed junkies and Tosa/Kii for muh armor fags.

Fucking worthless. Still survived and got 4 kills including 2 destroyers in that mess of a brouhaha.

So playing a Myogi I'm both faster, have more health and longer range than my buddy in his Wyoming.

Is that really what they have to pay for having two extra turrets?

>>127416439
>cruiser sees BB tanking
>lucky, time for long range sniping
Carrying as a BB is EZ modo but those teams make me weep.

>>127416361
Essentially the Ferdi/JpantherII but botes.

Make Amagi lead directly to the tier 8 carrier like the Ferdi leads to the Tiger P, too.

>>127416706
He has 3 extra turrets, and great armour.
I'll take any USN BB over it's IJN counterpart as long as it isn't Colorado or Montana.

Please don't. Or make it 500k exp at least.

fuso > new mex

>>127416895
Which ships are the Montanas and Colorados of the IJN?

>>127417279
There is literally nothing Fuso can do to an experienced NM.

>>127417372
Literally every game ever is 1v1 New Mex vs. Fusou

>>127417372
my own experience says otherwise

fuso has better angles on her guns

if a new mex wants to use all her guns in a brawl she has to show you more broadside

>>127417432
USN BB line is full of shitters though :^)

>>127417475
>use all her guns in a brawl
Broadside is for deleting cruisers. Fuso will get penned in the bow if it tries to use more than 3 turrets.

>>127417821
>Fuso will get penned in the bow

never had it happen lal

>New York can mount the range mod now
oh shit maybe this grind to the New Mexico won't be so bad this time around

stole a cleveland with literally 2 hp with mutsuki's guns

praise me, pat my head, mutsuki is strong! mutsuki is helping!

>>127417243
I skipped from the Tiger P to the Ferdi and did well enough for myself. :^)

That gun grind was awful. What a terrible idea.

WG let Lowes and Tirpitzes and Atagos happen. At least if you make it branch off, people still at least have a minor idea of what the gameplay is like by tier 8 without the whole HURR HOW I TORPEDO nonsense of tier 8 walletwarriors.

Honestly, I want to see WG's take on CC Lexington more than BB Tosa or the great weeb shekelhoarding of CV Akagi or Kaga.

I do alright

>>127418183
CVs have much more impact on the game than Atagoy or Tirpitz that might as well not be there. The gameplay is completely different as well. First time carrier captain trying to control 5 squads will lose all his planes or get CVcided and his team will be in a world of trouble.

>finally get some DD kills for the mission
>it was in my New York

>>127420019
I know that feel.

I grinded 30 cruiser kills and 1m damage in my new york. The kills were a pain but I could get 100k damage per game fairly easily so I got it done real quick not quick enough for the free xp because I decided to sleep once and missed it by 4 hours but I got no progress on the DD's from it.

Is 'set fire to 300 ships' supposed to mean 300 separate ships once each, or does it just count fire ribbons no matter what it is you're setting fire to?

Reminder that SEA server now has a peak player population of 14,000 during primetime hour. NA population by comparison is dying and dead, because everyone there is starting to feel the effects of heightened cholesterol levels from eating burgers.
