>Raleigh was moored at berth F-12, on the east side of the north channel at Pearl Harbor, when the Japanese made their surprise attack. In the first attack wave a torpedo passed ahead and a second hit Raleigh portside amidships. The cruiser took such a list to port that it appeared she might capsize. As crew jettisoned topside weight to keep her upright, her gunners helped to destroy five Japanese planes. Several of her crew were wounded, but none were killed.

Heres that iconic picture that was mentioned.

I really do think DD's should get health pots.

What I am getting from this is that they have substantially changed how the game itself handles speed/engine power, or at least massively consolidated it.

Also a slight buff to IJN cruiser speed.

They also changed a lot of the flooding params to be much higher which we of course knew.

I'm gonna notepad++ this shit to get a clearer picture without all these fucking "removed"s

God the updated IJN CV spread is FUN! Seriously missed it from CBT! (Little different of course, but similar.)

Also, despite being against a Bogue and Langley, I didn't feel the same plane rape as prior to the patch.
By which I mean I actually tied a fighter langley for plane kills! (11, bogue had 22)

That changed fighter T3 perk was a horrific nerf/balance to USN planes it would seem?

No more 100% placebo IJN Fighters. :^)

Gnevy and Ognevoi teach you how to start relying on your guns and are a little harder because their damage output is a little low - more fires than HE is not uncommon. Get superintendent because you absolutely need to be able to sit in smoke and spam everything.

Derzki and Storozhevoi will be amazing if you have any skill in watching the minimap for suicide rush options.

Izy is in-between.

After going through the whole German tree to elite Roon, the grind through the Soviet DDs has been just terribly fun. I recommend them, and Kiev is certainly the cherry.

>yed
>Thai street language

Bug alert.

If you get a fighter vs fighter engagement as soon as the fighters clash rapidly tell yours to go home and at the same time tell them to attack the fighters. If you do it right the game deletes exactly 3 enemy fighters. People are already abusing this and I bet it's a long time before it gets fixed. Go destroy the Anti air scourge.

I don't understand. Everything about IJN ships on paper seemed to appeal to me more than the American ships by miles. Many times, when I'm in an American BB, I curse that I don't have enough speed, or that my firing range is too short, or that I didn't have enough health to tank fires and flooding. Why am I winning so much? Is it because I bought a nendoroid of pic related, and she's blessing me with with the power of the abyss to sink filthy IJN scum?

How did the new torpedo bomber things effect Jap carriers? Hiryuu specifically. I researched it a long time ago, but I've held off on buying it because I heard the Jap TBs were going to get an inverted spread. This didn't happen, but I'd still like to hear about the current situation. I just got out of a match where both teams Hiryuus scored under 1000xp...

Yamato

The ability for Iowa to track a moving target while Iowa also moved, and track it accurately, would be an insurmountable advantage against Yamato. I'm a Hotel man as much as the next here, but that's the simple truth of the matter. By 1944, Burger tech was light years ahead of Jap tech. If no radar fire control is allowed, then Yamato has a very good chance of winning.

not guaranteed to be a 'bug'... but is in fact working as intended possibly.

Perk clearly states "100% increase to combat performance of fighters for each tier of difference between them..

SO a langley with T3 (stock) planes has 21 dps and 501 survival.

A bogue with 'best' planes has 35 dps and 940 survival. AND ARE TIER V's

that is a difference of two tiers.

So 21dps vs 35 dps and 560 vs 940

the 35 of course should win WITHOUT that perk..

toss the perk into the mix and ^ becomes

63 vs 35 and 1680 vs 940

Note this is not counting any module bonuses..

So that would certainly cause the higher tiered fighters to get RAPED considering the langley has nearly double the dps and survival rolls.

6 dice rolls with ___ chance to insta-kill the 'better' planes.

So there is no reason to use top tier fighters for FIGHTER VS FIGHER planned loadouts.


Anybody have the post/cap showing how to calculate the % to kill a plane? (like 23% per plane dice roll for langley to kill a hoshou plane vs 14% for hoshou.. prior to this patch of course.)

I seem to have misplaced it and am curious how ludicrous the % chance is with this new setup.

TL;DR: Simple math shows that the lower tier turns into the hulk for double or triple damage against higher tier, :^)

Absolutely ebin.
>>
>>121437534
nvm, located it.
"Chance of 1 Squad to shoot down 1 Plane:
Total DPS / Survivability = (X)*100%/sec"


For the Langley: 63 * 6 = 378(Lang dps) / 940 (bog's surv.) = .40212 (40.21% chance per second(46.9% with 7 fighters))

For the Bogue: 35 x 6 = 210 (bog's dps) / 1680 (Lang surv.) = 0.125 (12.5% chance per second (14.5% with 7 fighters))

So yeah! That'd explain it. (I am assuming the talent actually increases the survival rate, and not just the damage.) and again, the above is not counting the % increase from modules.

and the numbers are NOT cumulative.. (two squads vs 1 would be two 'rolls' of 40% and NOT a single roll of 80%)

Might just be all mental, but I get better games out of the Aurora then I do in the St Louis. The shell groupings seem tighter, and RNG tends to give me more fires, more penetrations.

I wouldn't be surprised if it had favorable RNG coding simply because its a premium, its russian, and its the flagship of the russian navy (once it goes back into service next year)

Destroyers actually did the bulk of the fighting in WW2. They were cheap, easy to build, easy to repair, and designed for high endurance. They could pretty much do anything needed, from escort to strike missions. They could defense themselves from air threat, and had the firepower to take out ships of larger tonnage.

There is a reason why all other surface warfare ship classes became marginalized post war, except for DD's and CV's.

>>121452398

I can understand that - grind to tier 10, and the last thing you want to do is go through all that work on another line. And since your at the top, theres nothing to work toward.

I have that problem - i have no desire to play a ship if I've already gotten the daily on it. I actually quit playing War Thunder from boredom once dailys were removed completely.

Dunno what to tell ya senpai. If all you've played in BB's and Cruisers, give DD's or CV's a try - playstyle is so different you might enjoy it. If thats something your already familiar with, give the game a rest for a while.

But give your Hotel some love - you worked so hard to be with her, she deserves some of your time.

If you don't like it enough to keep playing it after you've moved on, you sell it. Start really considering hanging onto ships around Tier 4 or 5.

probably turn up in the store as part of an overpriced bundle again at some point, christmas maybe

actually that article had a pic of a captain of one of those submarines who said that they lived on crackers, canned beans and milk and it was 'hellish'

`Once upon a time there were three little sisters,' the Dormouse began in a great hurry; `and their names were Elsie, Lacie, and Tillie; and they lived at the bottom of a well--'
`What did they live on?' said Alice, who always took a great interest in questions of eating and drinking.
`They lived on treacle,' said the Dormouse, after thinking a minute or two.
`They couldn't have done that, you know,' Alice gently remarked; `they'd have been ill.'
`So they were,' said the Dormouse; `VERY ill.'


also they had a some kind of commissar aboard whose job was to prevent possible mutinies

well you can get free slots with some random codes flying here and there, i think i got at least 2 or 3 free slots with codes for the month which i play, it's mostly na stuff though and nobody knows when you can get the next code

anyway chikuma is crap, hashidate and umikaze are decent, but you dont want to keep them too unless you want to stat pad intentionally playing very low tier games for quite a while

still many people keep umikaze
>>
Man, I don't know how much the Gun Fire Control Mod affects accuracy, but it's definitely noticeable on the IJN cruisers.

Consistently slamming 7 of my 10 shot salvo into a BB from 14km away is the greatest feeling in the world, especially when I have a 20% chance of causing fire.

Yeah you can buy ships back whenever you want, including the tier 1s, but I don't think they give or cost much/any credits so it's only really for the port slots

It's very useful on the early german ships, because they have a better, longer range version than everyone else does.

Is this actually confirmed or just a placebo?

I can confirm that it is useful through my own experience.

You can check the actual ranges in-game. The German acoustic search is effective for a couple kilometers farther than other nations.
>>
>>121485496
As confirmed as speed boost on DDs increases your detection range.

90% of the time you don't even need Sonar to spot a DD. Hell, if you're first on the front line, you're prime target for free citpens.

It's placebo shit, your kraut boat's sonar isn't as great as you make it out to be.

What are the odds on the Albany being made available again?

>>121486618
You use it when dds are hiding in smoke. And since the Konig can't mount the AA barrage, there's no reason not to use it.

Yes, it's been useful.
>>
>>121487178
>You use it when dds are hiding in smoke

Wow, tell me something I don't know. That applies to every ship with sonar. That extended range isn't a fucking gamebreaker, it's still placebo shit.
>>
>>121487449
If you know that sonar is used vs DDs in smoke, why make examples of all the times DDs are spotted out of smoke?

Would you rather fight a DD at 5km or 3km?

>gamebreaker

Never said, anywhere, by anyone. Just useful. Like the U.S. BBs having 20 second repair parties instead of the 10 seconds IJN has.
>>
>>121487813
Because that's 90% of the time you'll be spotting them out of smoke.

Also, I'd rather fight them at 8.
>>
>>121487449
Spotting low tier torps at 4km away is p. damn nice compared to the <1.5km range you'd see them at otherwise.
>>
>>121488393
It is. You don't need a cruiser at the front to do that though.
>>
>>121488507
You're going to be 1v1 on DDs in the low tiers if you're a cruiser at some point. Regularly, even.

At low tiers German HA is objectively better than other nation's.
>>
>>121488507
You use it to protect yourself from torpedoes and DDs at low tiers where you can't just blow them up at 15 kms. What kind of front are you talking about you gigantic doofus?

Fuck off, you shitter. I'm confused. You want him to not rely on teammates because low tier friendlies are shit but then pull a 180 when it seems he uses them as bait instead.

In fact, any shitter cruiser who gets knifed by DDs at close range in low tiers deserve it. Make sure you turn around corners carefully and be cautious around BB prone areas.

>That feeling when there is... and your dumb assed allies completely ignore the loud blaring man's voice over comms going "TORPEDOS TO PORT/STARBOARD/A-STERN/AHEAD!!!"

They are literally asking for death and have no reason to complain with the way torpedos are called out, from crazy far ranges due to them being ALLIED torpedos, and therefore spotted immediately.


>>121492287
Can't speak for higher tiers, but I've enjoyed them more (up to RJ) since the patch.

Your fighters are not 100% placebos anymore it would seem (the perk where the slower plane rapes the faster one is changed to be the lower tier fighter probably rapes the higher tier fighter.)

And you can set up launches on enemies from a farther/safer distance (so you might never need to enter a cruisers killzone if you want to attempt to delete him. just setup the proper torp routes.) and have a tighter spread
The DB auto drop zone seems bigger than previous, but not too much (if at all.) And the manual drop is like.. the size of 2-3 DD cannons set one infront of the other. Glorious!

Picture is an example of auto drop vs manual
>>
>>121493492
That's exactly the point you dumbfuck. Take measures to make sure it doesn't happen.

>>121493492
Not him, but it's not fucking rocket science. Anticipate where DDs will be based on map, act accordingly. Dont go in alone in tight areas, and if you absolutely have to take care around corners. Hell, if you're IJN as a low tier cruiser, the dd runs the same risk of getting knifed.

My Umikaze accumulated a lot of exp even though I've fully researched her and unlocked Wakatake, is there a use for the exp?

Clearly the point was that he shouldn't have been relying on bait if he's in a German ship equipped with sonar. There is no contradiction here. Don't rely on your teammates and you shouldn't have to because you're well equipped to deal with low tier DDs yourself.

>>121493836
It will happen. You will be the last alive. You will be the last alive on your side of the map.
You will be surprised. Even if you're rounding corners and facing DDs at 6kms, do you want to find out where their 6-12 torps are headed at 1km out or at 4 kms?

The point is you have the sonar and this bait guy does not. You can go first, spot at 5km and kill the DD or let other cruiser be a bait and complain about shitters who die early afterwards.

>>
>>121494640
1k games and it hasn't happened. If a DD wants to ambush me around the corner, no amount of sonar will save me. If I'm in relatively open waters with nothing in sight, there's no trigger for me to know exactly when to sonar. Even without sonar, there is more than enough room, time to dodge any incoming torps.

You're more than welcome to record moments and make a montage of moments where sonar saves you.
>>
>>121495848
>DD drops smoke and rushes at you
How the hell do you play and never encounter this shit?
>>
>>121495457
Are you really going to out speed that DD in front of you? DD wants to go first, he'll go first, not because I'm letting him be bait but because he's faster. Dont pull a 180 and tell me I shld message him that I'll go first, because youre the wise guy implying its bad to rely on low tier teammates.

Can you guarantee you'll always spawn in front? Can you guarantee that you'll beat the IJN cruiser in front of you? You can't. You can't even guarantee that you'll have sonar for moments where you exactly need it.

Moments where you'll be first up to spot for cruisers are extremely situational and you're better off relying on your own smart maneuvers rather than a timed consumable.

I swear if anyone posts any more anime i'm reporting this shit straight to the mods on IRC.

Every time I see even a tiny peek of the smooth lines, basic coloring, and simple features of a shipgirl, my brain instantly sends a signal to flood my body with adrenaline. The veins on my arms and temples protrude, I begin to shake with rage. My face is quivering in a snarl, my head and neck are held over my keyboard like I'm some sort of fat, featherless vulture.

But no carrion sits before me, only a screen showing a retarded blob with guns and ship parts strapped to their body. A gurgling growl involuntarily escapes my open mouth. I force through the phlegm, turning it into a roar as my face reddens and my entire body shakes even more violently. I'm screaming now, screaming at the anime. How dare anyone create this monstrosity. God could not have foreseen such degenerate trash ever appearing in this world, yet here it is in front of me. I want to destroy everything around me.

The Königsberg and Nürnberg both do not have that kind of armor, you can citpen them just fine with any 5" popgun.

And the German lowtier ships are so terrible that no amount of shitty internal slope does any good.

Just compare them to the St Loius, which gets actual belt armor plus internal slop, both noticeably thicker than any armor o nteh German ships, and the St Louis has more guns with more range, to.

Karl is free exp for anyone shooting at it. Some matches you get into, it feels like all your enemies know this.

My advice with the Karl is to stick close to something more dangerous so you don't draw aggro - buddy up with a BB or a DD. I've had luck, if boring games, staying in the backfield with the CV and stopping any DD's that make a run for it.

If you have any free exp, consider using them to get out of the Karl as fast as possible

They should just implement ship-in-class naming, so you can pick from a range of names that said class of ship was commissioned as

However, that would eliminate WG's ability to make premium ships, and jew people out of money
>>
>>121516385
Serious advice, you'll have to learn how to predict which way the BB is going to turn and adjust your torps accordingly.

Also, torp one spread to force the turn, then another spread to nail them.

Unless you're launching torps at >7 kms, then it takes a little more planning and luck.

History, dude.
USN DD's were never intended to be fulltime torpedo boats. WW2 designs were intended to be escort and gunboat vessels - either in an ASW role in defense of convoys, or to ride the flanks of battlegroups and protect against fast torpedo boats.

And thats how you should play them - hunt down other DD"s and gunfight them to death.

>Are you good with IJN CVs?
If yes, this patch was a huge buff. If not, this patch was a huge nerf.

The reduction of the TB torps from 41 to 35 knots made all the shitters leave, though I'll admit it's made killing DDs and fast CAs harder. But your TBs can literally drop their torps about one cm away from the edge of the targeting circle, meaning you can still land broadsides on BBs. This, combined with the change to flooding damage, means that you can still do just as much, if not more, damage than before.

Also the buff to the fighter barrage is huge. I've had one squad of my Hiryu's fighters down 11 planes in one pass. Previously, not even USN fighters could do that.

Karl would fit in nicely in the trash

I just went looking for a better cruiser design and came across this bullshit...

>Karlsruhe Class
>Speed: 29.3knots
>Armament: Twelve 10.5cm guns and Two 20' Torpedo Tubes
>Armor: 60mm on Belt and Deck, 100mm Conning Tower

Doesn't sound like the ship were playing, is it? Because its not.

>Wiesbaden Class
>Speed: 27.5 knots
>Armament: Eight 15cm guns and Four 20' Torpedo Tubes
>Armor: 60mm on Belt and Deck, 100mm Conning Tower

Wiesbaden is the class directly preceding the Konigsberg.

THE actual Karlsruhe would essentially be an upgraded Kolberg - stronger armor, better speed, but the same amount of guns, AND the addition of torpedo tubes.

yeah, but also you depend on people being stupid enough to catch your torps

some obviously will catch them but those will mostly damage ships, unless you go into a suicide attack vs a bb you have no way to ensure that you get enough hits on 1 ship to sink her

guns are more reliable on getting coups de grace if you chase down damaged ships of any kind

No, she'd be outgunned by most everything. But she'd be fast, and would have better punch then she does now (8 gun broadside with a faster firing rate vs 6 gun broadside and a slower firing rate).

It wouldn't be enough to make the ship good - but it would be better then what it is now.

mostly because it's the easiest way to introduce some other goals instead of merely seek and destroy. the real battles are not fought with the goal to seek and destroy all enemy ships who cannot flee from a fenced zone when their team is beginning to lose, the real battles usually have some goal to control some strategic zone/passage/to defend something etc and are ended when the goal is reached/failed with the losing forces retreating from the battlefield, those cap points are a simplified/arcade way to introduce it

this new patch only made DDs even more fucking useless

i never see CVs in this game anymore after their nerfs. i see them maybe once in every 6 games now. now DD's cant even hunt down CV's anymore, because there are none. there goes another role of the DD out the window

and lord knows that any competent BB player will wreck your shit, so you can't go after them

so now they just exist to counter other DDs...no point in the class anymore to be honest

You don't have to be a chef to make a good steak... Here's how!

Ingredients:
A: 1 Boneless Rib Eye steak, 1&1/2 inches thick.
B: Kosher salt and black pepper.
C:Canola oil, to coat.


Place a 10-to-12-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven and heat the oven to 500 degrees F. Bring the steak to room temperature.

When the oven reaches temperature, remove the skillet and place on the range over high heat for 5 minutes. Coat the steak lightly with oil and sprinkle both sides with a generous pinch of salt. Grind on black pepper.

Immediately place the steak in the middle of the hot, dry skillet. Cook 30 seconds without moving. Turn with tongs and cook another 30 seconds, then put the pan straight into the oven for 2 minutes. Flip the steak and cook for another 2 minutes. (This time is for medium-rare steak. If you prefer medium, add a minute to both of the oven turns.)

Remove the steak from the skillet, cover loosely with foil and rest for 2 minutes. Serve whole or slice thin and fan onto plate.
:^)

With the new captain's perk for fighters, does it make sense now to uptier your CV through divisioning?

If lower tier fighters are routinely stomping higher tier ones, and moving one tier up on the AA scale isn't much of a problem, it seems like the logical thing to do.

They are the best because they are the highest quality and least fatty cuts, its the most uniform and desired. Its not overrated because everyone wants it, its "overrated" because its the best cuts

... that was me with the minekaze.. she had 5.8 detection and 10km torpedos in CBT

Had quite a bit of fun just queing with buddies and playing entire matches without being seen once due to having several kilometers advanced warning (playing away from islands.)
and only feared other IJN DD (And even then, they went to mid-upper 6's, like 6.7, so almost a kilometer warning.)
With the way flooding now works(40% of hp for a full duration flood.) I could have had so much fun if she still had them now.

>>121538350
>give me one good reason i shouldn't just division into higher tiers with my umikaze with her 5km detection range and 8km torps that reload every 20 seconds

fun fact: if you put shimakaze into a T3 game it would lose
>>
>>121540093
Working as intended ))))))))))))))))
>>
>>121538350

umikaze has weak torps (storojevoi-derzki tier low damage, slow, nice range though; 6800 damage/8 km/48 knots) and only 4 per salvo with 2 x 2 launchers

i personally had more success with wakatake (10833/7/57 torps, 2x2 too, also higher speed (35.8 vs 33.2) and 1 120mm gun more, looks much cuter too) albeit wakatake is much squishier 8200 on wakatake vs 10300 on umikaze (umikaze is surprisingly sturdy, isokaze matches her and even 10900 minekaze is barely more sturdy), 6.1 concealment is tolerable too albeit worse than 5.6 on umikaze

isokaze is even better with the same torp armament as minekaze - same 14400/7/68 torps, same 3 launchers, same reload times, she has the same hp as umikaze and same concealment as wakatake, she is 34.2 which slower than wakatake but faster than umikaze, has 1 120mm gun more than wakatake

minekaze is a jewel because she is as fast as the speed slut shimakaze, 39.4, one of the fastest jap dd with strong hitting torps and decent (6.2 basic) concealment, same guns as isokaze

>>121538708

>If the Fujin had 10km torps WG would have had my money

why don't you play mutsuki then? she literally has the same 6.2 conceament as minekaze but 10km torps, 16 266/10/59, 2x3, not 3x2, launchers though

37.7 speed i.e. literally the speed of fujin
>>
>>121541259
Umikaze's torp reload is 20 - 23s. Wakatake is higher, not by much, but still higher.

Also, Fujin is the Minekaze, so it gets 3 launchers which is already better than the Mutsuki even if the Mutsuki has almost the same stats.

>>
>>121543770
the game has a lot of .xml config files, look around in those to see what you can change.

python is what the game scripts use, but WG uses some odd header that makes the game's scripts impossible to decompile.

then, you put modded file in res_mods folder (so if something is in res/gui folder normally, it goes into res_mods/[current version]/gui folder), since game reads from res_mods first, your mod will run instead of the unmodified version, and you don't have to remove or backup anything

if you get JPEXS, you can decompile and possibly recompile the game's flash files (is how people make GUI mods)

>>121549453
Because you hope that WG will buff them, which they probably will. Taking away their invis firing ability by making their detect rating go up was a bad idea, but at least you could bring down the detect rating, but then adding the fact that you now add +6km to their detect rating when they fire instead of 4 like the other DDs was a stupid as fuck idea. But still, go fast. Thats the reason i'm going for the khabrovsk, i just want to go fast.

modules have a health pool separate from the main health pool

and yes, you can even permanently lose a turret having full health on the hull

it's when either the shell hits that turret only or in the case with engines, rudders etc it's when you are damaged by a near miss

From what we have seen we can assume that they will be decently fast, will have defensive torp launchers, have lower caliber guns, but in return have a higher ROF and a much faster turret traverse speed.

Thats just your team fucking you in the ass. Also, RNG is the lube that guides their shells into your ship. Its a fucking retarded thing sometimes.

I was seriously considering switching to HE, and i'm pretty sure if i had i would have done more damage. These cruisers werent even that far away, 8-13 at max.
>>
>>121555153
Nah it was the cruisers faults there. But this just brings another issue up that there's no reinforcement of good cruiser play. You have HEshitters bumbling around in the dark and attributing losses to shit teams rather than HE fucking spamming cruisers at maximum range.

Why don't I get you fuckers in my matches?
It's always these pansy ass BBs hanging back at 20km where no one can hit them and they can't hit shit.
I would fight by your sides until the end, you magnificent bastards.

I've found my girl. This ship consistently gives me great matches, and with the inclusion of those new missions, she gave me 1 million credits and a port slot too. Based Fuso is based.

>the Chinese are getting a tech tree
what the fuck
how is that even supposed to work
they literally did not even have a navy until after the time period that this game is set, and even when they did get one it was just useless old shit that nobody wanted anymore
the slavs might have not been big on their navy but they did at least build some ships, this is just getting ridiculous
>>
>>121556719
A lot of people are scared of HE spam and torpedoes, which isn't a problem at max range. However, i find that max range isn't fun when playing BBs, click once every 30 seconds and get like 2 hits, but brawling is major fun. Also, new mex doesnt care for HE, and torpedoes are fucking easy to dodge now, its just that most people are shitters.
>>
>>121557238
the reason that BB's don't brawl is because of torps and HE, they simply can't compete at those ranges because even at 8km the fucking guns and RNG is so shit they can't do much about it
>>
>>121557176
Probably are getting one the same way that WoT got a chinese tree: filled with paper ships that never existed.

HE does splash HA damage to modules, so just hitting near where the engine is (which is normally about the middle of the ship) is enough to disable it.

>shoot salvo
>every shell lands one foot just barely in front of the ship
>this keeps happening
>even on ships that are barely moving at all

does this keep happening to anyone else but only on specific players during that match

its like some players have a secret mod that makes this happen because it doesn't happen that often, but when it does, 90% of my salvos fall short and hit the water just pixels before they would hit the ship, like some kind of magnetic forcefield.

even when i try compensating and shooting a little behind the ships this happens too, they still fall short.

i can't be the only one here who experiences this problem time to time. and i don't mean ships sailing diagonal, it happens to ones that go in straight lines too. i played against a nagato today who simply sailed into the middle of the map and he didn't shoot anybody. our whole team was shooting him and all the shells were falling just pixels in front of him, it took ages to kill him. it's like he was almost baiting us because he was sailing at 1/4 speed and not shooting anybody

fucking hacks man
>>
>>121557370
I know but fuck, man. They at least had some tanks. They even managed to build some of their own contemporary to the other tanks already in the game (even if they were just ripoffs of soviet stuff).
WG can't even cash in on ChiCom pride because the PLAN wasn't even a thing until the 50's, they'd have to try and sell dinky KMT riverboats to mainland Chinese audiences. Even places like Australia or some of the South American nations had a more developed navy than China at the time.
Even for WG this is so unbelievably goddamn stupid.

>get shot in the nose of my ship

>>121557954
I get this a lot too, its like theres a minor aim assistance movement in the game, it seems that the pattern of my BB guns at long range seem to be more accurate when I'm actively targeting something than when I'm not.

which is probably why I miss so many shells at like 5km but somehow I can cit a fucking cruiser from 15km
>>
>>121558002
Must have a frontal transmission like the tiger in WoT
>>
>>121556719
I like to sail at the enemy and close to secondary range when I'm playing my Nagato or Yamato and can just shrug off most anything people shoot at me, but I can understand why other BB captains don't. Nobody else wants to get close, and CVs are usually too busy fighting each other or picking off stragglers so you have to spend literally the entire time swerving around just to avoid the almost constant walls of torps from invisible DDs, and getting unlucky with RNG means you have no way to stop more mobile ships from just shitting all over you because secondaries are literally useless. Closing to brawling range is usually suicide in this game unless you actually know what you're doing.

yeah i think you're right but i've had the opposite effect, when I press X to lock on it fucks with my aim, i've found that simply aiming at ships w/o the X lock is better
>>
>>121558516
give us some screenshots of the bote

i have not seen much of this ship for some reason
>>
>>121558673
I seriously wondered why that when I aim at nothing at 15km away, my dispersion was absolutely ass, but the moment I locked onto something my accuracy went through the roof

Also if I'm aiming at two targets, each one is 1km from each other. If I lock on one but shoot at the other, my shells will float or something towards the locked on target instead of explicitly where I'm aiming

I think they are equal. The better captain will win a straight up battle.

>Myogi
Nikolai is definitely better here due to the number of guns. Range do not matter since you can stay angled against Myogi and richochet Myogi's shells.

>Ishizuchi
Can't comment because I don't have her/faced her before.

Nikolai can get matchmaked with T3 botes which she can handle with ease (better range than T3 BBs and CLs) and can hold her own against T5 BBs and CLs.

The Konisberg is literally just the Cleveland except a tier lower, tons of torpedoes, harder hitting AP, and faster turret turn time.

I love it.
>>
>>121561373
No idea about that guy but SEA contains Australia and New Zealand, and a bunch of other places that the Brits used to own. There's plenty of English speakers on here, they just don't seem as common as the boxes/moonrunes people.
>>
>>121561734
a cleveland with no armor and DD tier modules that get blown up

t. BB who laughs when I shoot a salvo of HE at the Konisberg and watch shitters cry as i break their engine/rudder/everything

i guess it would be fun if you can dodge well

>The Konisberg is literally just the Cleveland except a tier lower,

The Cleveland has no armor either

It just has a below the waterline citadel so it is extremely rare that it ever gets penetrated

142mm is pretty decent for a cruiser

>>121561791
I'm not sure but I think most aussie cunts and sheepshaggers play on the US server. Their ping to both SEA and US servers should be quite similar.

Here's me inside a T6 match getting rekt by T6 bote.

I've always just assumed they'd be on SEA. I'm always been curious what ping I would have gotten on NA though.
Guess I'm stuck here now though because WG won't offer any fucking transfers.

So how do you differentiate CAs and CLs?
>>
ping isn't really that important in this game with its slow aiming and stuff
but then, it doesn't have rewind mechanics like mwo where the ping is important...
anyway, while the ping doesn't matter the game sometimes can freeze/lag due to package drops and that stuff is annoying

Yes there is a bug or some shit that causes god awful load times on occasion.
Before I did a clean reinstall I was getting 5+ minute load times within my first few battles of the day, often I'd just force quit the game and restart it. Some people probably didn't have the presence of mind to do that.

It's a known issue
