Well in your mind are CV players cowards because they attack from long range with planes? Are BBs cowards because they shoot back and snipe?
What is this criteria of being a "coward?"

Shooting a poor Atlanta that's in a duel with two other Atlanta's in the back. That's low anon you got to admit.

that's why you play multiple ship lines, so you can get into battles while the last one winds down.

So, I have world of warships installed now, Tell me why i should delete it and play this instead.

Don't delete it, try SO and decide for yourself which you like more.

>>127461185
thats gay too

>>127462183
Seconded.

No reason to not have the option to play either/both!

Some prefer Steel Ocean, others prefer World of Warshits. To each their own I personally hope SO takes off so as to continue to force WG to up their game.

it is only like 6 gigs to download, and you get a free T5 premium BB (link in OP) so no reason to not at least apply the BB to your account should you ever want an alternative to WG.

why are my guns doing no damage?
other players literally hit me for 50% bar

>>127463696
At least there is UK line :^)

>>127463696
Much like Germany has Cruisers, BB's, and SS.

British were added about a month ago now.. in this game that has been on steam since November 12th.

And yet WG has the Warspite. One Soviet line and one German line. (DD and Cruiser, respectively.)
Nobody bats an eye.

JUSTICE NEVER!

>>127463434
Start up Steel Ocean, make your account name (Can contain spaces, and non english characters.) after that is over. EXIT the game.

Go to DLC page for repulse and launch from there. Claim via gift box bottom right.

Go to storage, non battle item, click the repulse and select "USE" (Sell gives 1 silver.)
Enjoy.

You then could sell it for a million credits from port.. but the Repulse makes bonus xp(quick training+ premium ship.) and credits (50-100k on a daily match.. 150-170k per overlord match.. that happens this evening 6pm-8pm pacific time.)

So I would not sell the golden goose.

>>127465221
And SO has the notEnterprise.

>>127464259
If you arent penetrating you'll do like 10 damage, this is usually the case if shooting at battleship as a non-battleship. If the other guy leads exceptionally well he can hit 6-7 shots out of 9 while you hit 1 out of 9. If the other guy is in atlanta and you're in a DD you've already lost

>>127465814
dunno im in a shitty tier 2 cl that does no damage and gets rekt by everything else
and wtf is with auto aim? like i cant even hit shit point blank without having to auto aim

>>127465946
>CL
hunt DDs, subs and other CLs, stay away from everything else unless you plan to throw torps at them (not recommended with germans)

>>127465946
I've played all CLs up to and including tier 6, and the only one worth using is Atlanta. I hear the german line leads to good things at max tier, but you're in for a world of pain before that.

>>127465814
what about shooting at dds? should i use he instead? right now im aping everything

>>127466631
I prefer AP

T2's in general suck across the board. T3's are when things get more enjoyable.

HE is a gamble, even against DDs it will sometimes fail to penetrate. I use it, depending on what ship I'm in and what my target is, but most people don't bother and I almost agree with them.

Got that right!


For the most part HE is pretty okay when your in a BB against anything non BB (or even against BB's if you're firing from longer range at a target heading right towards/away-from you to hope to impact their deck.)

Probably alright for CA's against DD's too.

But I tend to stick to AP for that guaranteed damage vs 'chance at higher, while having a chance at little-none on failed pens.'

you can even reliably pen the side of the enemy in atlanta vs atlanta duels, but again, while doing 240 instead of 180 is satisfying it is trumped by those times you do 10

how do i get more commanders?

>>127473056
Spending Merit in the shop (Shop, Commanders)

There is a daily 'kill 3 german ships' for 90 merit. 180 merit per commander roll.
Fleet Battles, and other events provide merit too. Look at 'Events' tab.

Also commanders for first T2 of each ship class. CL,DD,SS,BB,CV and again at T5.(If you got the repulse you have the T5 BB commander already.)

Merit is purely for commander rolls and has no other purpose.

Jump into ship B for daily.

jump into Ship C for daily. (Look at events by the way.. there are 'play elite ship tier 3+ two wins for 50k credits.)

So if you have not used the 'build' function in fleet yet (or for future thought.)

That stacks with the 10 wins a week .5x

So possibly an hour of 1.5x rewards from Overlord. (or more depending how they apply the buffs.)

And overlord was making 50-160k silver normally (depending on how well you did, if it was repulse.. Super KTKM made 165k one of the matches.)

Yeah it is especially crazy since they do not have any actual xp gains for true support! (IE: Spotting xp at the very least.)

I LOVED WoWS CBT in the IJN Lines.. play as a stealth intel-relaying torp bote hardly ever actually firing guns.

Just keeping the enemy lit up, shepherding them into positions that would provide my side the advantage (Citpens for allies) If I landed torps, great! if not.. I still did my job even though WG did not see fit to provide rewards for it.

I guess you could be right, we have a decent amount of players. They need be less punishing on the CV MM though, its great that they want to find CVs to fight, but there simply aren't that many at t6+. Sometimes its really hard to find games at t5 for a CV.

I do know at t8+ They don't even try to match CVs because they are so rare.


>>127520829
Honestly I've looked over the German cruiser stats and compared, they really aren't that good compared to the other cruiser classes. They are still playable, but it seems that US cruisers can outgun or IJN cruisers can bangity bang bang them to death.

Though I will say the range of their damn cruisers is punishing to their enemies.

Half that video is them talking about how pretty their game is and how they added ships that you have to buy. Also groups in WoWs are only limited to 3 people?

>>127521292
I was mainly thinking of how tier 3-5 battles are usually with 0-1 cvs per side, and you'd think they're capped at two per side like wows except they aren't, it's just ultra rare to get enough players queueing for a 3-CV-per-side matchup.

Tier 6 matchmaking is dogshit for everything, I have a sub, CL and DD and I barely muster the motivation for first win on them because I know it will always be 5 minute queue into 3v3 shit. Dunno how you farmed to midway with that population.

Koenigsberg 27 is the only CL below tier 7 that's okayish and isn't called atlanta, CLs imo are very bad atm. Take a DD, give the guns a more inaccurate high firing arc, make it bigger so its easier to hit, maybe give it scout planes, bam you have a CL.

CVs are the most attention requiring class while DDs require you to know spotting mechanics down to a tee. They also require you to know when to pull back and when to engage and the capabilities of your bote.
If you want a play a DD the best, you need to have a good sense of situational awareness as well.

Yes, they are limited to 5 in Steel Ocean. Teams are also bigger consequently.


>>127521912
Actually the cap is 3 CVs per side. Tier 6+ CVs actually get a bit more dangerous with 5 man squads, but other than they aren't much different.
I was a good goy and wanted to be the server first for Midway, I've also managed to have games in it believe it or not. It was a one sided slaughter each time. The Midway's planes are pretty tanky.

If CVs are rare in pub battles, at least they will be standard in fleet battles, as they aren't punishing the MM.

>>127521960
Its not that hard, but it can be frustrating if you don't plan your runs and strategies out ahead.

>>127521292
The only fair comparison would be the Agano, which is a CL too. USA gets a CA. I wouldnt be surprised if at later tiers the USA CAs are better than the German ones, though.
Honestly I wanted a DD bully and a backup scout.

>>127521615
Depends on how you want to play the DDs. I play them as scouts and DD harasser. Chech >>127492365 if you want to know more about the spotting mechanics.

>>127522916
I'm not a fan of upgrading CVs via squadsize, as long as the deck reload time barely improves the total throughput of a CV will remain the same across tiers. I usually run smaller squads unless I'm forced to launch from the other end of the map. Feels like the only substantial improvement across tiers is deck capacity and plane health.

USA actually has the Cleveland at tier 8 too. The thing is that CLs are escort ships and should be played as such. Max them out for stealth, stick near BBs and CVs and provide anti DD support or anti sub support.

CAs for USA actually are really good at later tiers, amazing AA and great guns. The Des Moines if given spotting data can just rake enemy BBs with AP until they die, doing 1/5 to 1/6 of their total HP a salvo. Or more drastically. Downside is, they lack torpedos or depth charges, so up close they will struggle against knife fighting DDs or subs.


>>127523760
Well, actually that is a smarter idea. In the initial stages of the battle, I run 2 scout plane squadron with 2 TB squadrons of 3. In the later stages when I'm doing constantly fire support, the timing in between squadrons and it gives me ample time for 4-5 man squadrons on a constant cycle.

The 4 star captain Raymond Spruance can temporarily reduce plane reload time by 30 percent, drastically increasing your ability to get planes in the air.

DD seems hard, that's why I'm focusing in BB for now, but I'll get into it. Thanks for the tips!

Oh and by the way, this game is fun as fuck.

>>127524186
Actually I stick close to the DDs until midmatch, killing enemy DDs so ours dont lose so much HP and get to the bigger targets faster. I do return to deal with the subs though.

>>127524516
If you play BBs, consider staying at 3km from your scouts, so you're in position to nuke something as soon as it gets spotted or run away. Take it with a grain of salt though, most of the DDs suck.

>>127524516
Well, since you're focusing on BBs now you'll start to notice how the DDs dodge salvos and move around the map. Later you can use similar tactics in your own DD and increase your survivability.

As for BBs, wich nation are you focusing into? and what kind of playstyle do you have? a static or a more mobile/agressive one?

>DD seems hard
They probably are the 2nd hardest class in game compared to CVs.
If you git gud at DDs, you will be invaluable to any team you are on. You can always practice at them.
BBs are more expensive to research and play compared to DDs by the way.

>>127524745
Thats a good way to play your cruisers. Subs are honestly some of the most frustrating enemies to deal with at higher tiers. DDs can't depth charge them because it requires them to be ontop of them and often enemies are guns are well within range, meaning that friendly DDs will either die or lose over half their HP attempting to kill subs. Its consequently while CVs are needed for sub hunting.

And yeah, most DDs are bad, the good ones are comparable to being batman on the ocean.

>>127524783
I personally believe that if you want to be more mobile support to play US CAs. They are essentially 3/4s of a BB.

>>127524745

I'm doing that in fact, but I feel like everytime subs start showing up near me, DDs go away to do shit at all instead of stoping them.

>>127524783

Mobile/agressive. I like to hit things with my sword (secondary). I try to get in range of carriers and other BB to hit them with my primary while being at a range enough to hit other targets with my secondary while having time to dodge torps.

Good CVs are invaluable when they are hunting subs. They can attack them without worrying about being shelled to death by enemy cruisers and battleships.

>>127525291
Personally I advance lagging a bit behind the cruisers and take shots at the enemy DDs to cut their vision and enemy BBs near my range to assist my own DDs. Secondary range is more of a "risk zone" for me since at that range you're pretty much spotted and if you're far ahead the enemy BBs would be delighted to shell your position. My advance is not as agressive but its forward enough to put pressure on enemy BBs while not being knife fighting DDs with secondaries.
You should also start thinking about your "route" in the BB so it can keep up with the match and adapt if needed, plus keeping your guns within the engament area as much as possible. As another note for movement, DO NOT STOP, yes you get a slight decrease in aim time when stopped but you can eventually be tracked down and collaped on because of your tracers, moving will make you a slightly harder target to hit. Thus once you have a "route" in mind that can be followed on the move constantly while keeping guns on conflict areas it'll be easy to relocate if needed.

Actually afaik, stopping doesn't decrease your aim time. I've noticed that just moving on a straight path is the same amount. At least its what I've noticed in my cruisers. When I traverse my turrets or bote it greatly fucks it over.

Though when I have a target to calibrate to, even if I adjust and the target is near the previous targetzone, it is extremely quick to readjust.

>>127526287
In the case of BBs you do get a very slight decrease in aim time (or atleast it feels like one) but stopping midbattle to aim a bit quicker can sometimes be fatal. Hence why being on the move is generally the best option.
>When I traverse my turrets or bote it greatly fucks it over.
To avoid this I generally try to make my "route" a zig-zag pattern to keep moving (albeit at low speed) and start turning my guns before turning the bote itself so they're already aimed in the general direction that I want.

>>127525920

I do not stop ever, I use R-F amd Q-E to adjust my way while in shift-targeting mode.
I like to keep my weapons always rearming, trying to be in positions that I can always hit something as soon as my guns are rearmed, but yeah, it's way too agressive for a BB, I'll see how I go playing a little more defensive as you say, and drawing a mental route too. It really helps when the team has a CV to scout where their cruisers/DDs are going.

>>127526287

Adding to this, I feel the same, aim time for me feels the same moving or not while in a straight path.

Oh and my aggresive ways may be because of listening to kongou pak on repeat.

This should give you an idea of the pattern that I talk about.
The blue line is the path that you'd follow, the green circles are the areas where you should start turning your guns to the other side and finally the red ones are examples of how that movement pattern could adapt for a more agressive or a more defensive moment.
Ideally you want to be on the same flank as all/most of your DDs and cruisers to get vision from them and shoo the subs away.

Obviously you shouldn't do exactly the same thing, its just to give you an idea of the benefits of that kind of movement and you should adapt it to your own style.

Remember, its just an example, you can make your approach longer by making more turns or shorter by making less. As for the alternative routes, they vary greatly with the map and the match, they're in there as an example in how the pattern can be altered to suit the current situation

Replays function oddly.. but then so did WoWS and its replay system so nothing new there.

Space is play/pause.. sometimes.

[SCREAMS EXTERNALLY]

So I just played a match where my teams DDs hid behind the BBs who ended up having to fight enemy DDs while getting nuked by enemy battleships at the same time.

>>127588932
The match boiled down to a 3v1 with the sub hugging me and 2 BBs

The sub never landed a single torp and spent most of the time in the surface getting VERY SLOWLY damaged by my secondaries.
Not a single BB shell landed in the area while I was fighting the sub
After finishing off the sub one of the BBs went to the cap, I expected a pincer maneuver dropping on me but it never happened
I killed the lone BB capping and couldn't find the last in time.

I was handed the reins to NBA and felt unsuited for them, and promoted Techno to Vice Admiral and ShootMeDead into the Admiral, both have kept the fleet alive better than I could and I'm glad its growing. I don't feel comfortable in a leadership position to be honest.

>>127590379

Well I was punishing your DDs and CLs, but I had no BBs backing me up so I got focused by your BBs and died. I was fucking outspotting our DD(s)? It was pathetic. If our BBs had moved up and focused your BBs, I would have gone to clear up every single one of your DDs/CLs and probably subs as well.

I blame WoWs syndrome with people playing BBs like idiots. Part of me wants to help them improve, the other part is edgy as fuck and just wants to kill them again and again until they either learn to stop sitting still or they just quit. The 2nd option isn't the best for server populations though.

Because those are baBBies in the literal sense of the word. Ignore them to be honest. What you want to do is support your DDs and subs and cruisers. The key to winning a battle is to wipe out the enemy subs and DDs first. You do that and the enemy BBs are blind. Blind BBs are no threat and can be taken out piecemeal by your planes.
If you aren't good at TBs, spam DBs on DD in a quanity over quality measure. Preferably while they are getting stuck in against your fleet and can't manuever/AA you down without completely exposing themselves.

In this game, if the DDs die first, its GG NO RE. DDs are key to winning as they are so important. If you can't reach a DD in time but have the ability to hit a BB, do so with all haste. Also, you primary job as a CV is to hunt subs more than DDs.
CVs are the hardest class because they have so many responsibilities. Often friendly DDs cannot depth charge enemy subs because of camping enemy BBs shooting them.

Subs/DDs > BBs/CL/CA/CV

Priority target what you can, get a group together and do not run solo. Running solo as a CV unless you are gud in this game is another kind of hell because of how reliant you are on your team.

Yes from your side. But you can have the advantage. It takes longer for him to respawn each time, so thats less time hes fucking up your chances of winning.

No, it just subtracts one from your team. If you are good like Techno, he could have easily made up for the occasional point loss if it meant dealing with the mentally handicapped in a gearing.

Honestly, I haven't found solo queue as a CV that bad at lower tiers, IF you go in expecting pugs to be pugs. Gotta agree with all the points though. I just love TBing subs and some will even rage/call you a hacker. Also surprise redbear in there, didn't even notice until now.

In the larger games, the skill variance becomes less of an issue but at higher tiers where it's 3v3 or 5v5, I'm often left raging at BBs running off on their own, etc.
The combined weight of bad players equalizes things :^)

I'm super not sure of which i'm going to play, and fear it may cause me no stop playing both.
