May we sail for brighter seas. May we all see each other sometime again. For all those that are still here and those that have been lost.
It was fun playing with you all.
>have fun with this game

>general starts dying
>realize that outside of this general i dont talk to anyone else
>all the other games i played now have dead generals
Fucking RIP. I dont know what i'm going to do now.
Come on fellow anons, this doesn't have to be the end. I'm sure hotfix time will arrive soon and the issues will go away!
And with the competition of another naval game, WoWS development will go into full overdrive!Please let it be true ;_;Because I'm not sure if I can trust chink devs any more than drunken slavs.
>>122038847
>>122038462
I'm confused. How is this ending again? Can we get some actual reasons besides 'hurdur their askin 4 monee' for once?
>>122038970
A good portion of us are going to play Steel Ocean or at least try it out. It releases tomorrow on steam. You are welcome to join us there or in the general that will inevitably spring up.
>>122039049
Devs let the marketing division make game decisions, they pushed it out of open beta too early, and somefuckinghow WG manages to break things that they dont even touch and take a long time to fix it. For instance there was that WoT artillery hitbox bug, and they could at least push out a fucking micropatch fixing the goddamn fighters. How hard is it to delete 1 fucking 0 from a file?
>>122039010
WG can't let WoWS die.
They'll send in some people from th main office to unfuck things, even if it takes half a year.
The PR hit from another WoWP-like desaster would simply be too much.
WoT now has some serious competition, too.
>>122039049
Last thread has gaps of a half hour to an hour between posts. The means a dead general and dead game. Also the game is in the worst shape it's ever been in and WG has done nothing but make the game worse with every patch since beta and are only interested in releasing more jew bundles and $60 premium ships instead of fixing the game.
It's an unfortunate f2p tale as old as time. Another game is claimed by mismanagement.
Anons have given up and are leaving the game.
>>122039010
>>122039245
>Steel ocean is made by chinks
>OP image is made by a chink
it's like poetry
>>122039049
It launched when it shouldn't have, and hype carried it a while, but its just losing traction because there's no real reason to play it, and only frustrations.
I played it all through alpha because i saw it as practice for the real deal, valuable experience and knowledge. But now that the real deals here, i realize its not really worth playing. While its fun sometimes, its frustrating at other times, and theres no real reason to take that frustration when i could be doing something else entierly instead.
;_;
>>122039049
Even the greatest youtube fanboy of the game of all time, Jingles, says it's not worth playing anymore and says it's very unlikely he'll make more videos for WoWs.
>>122039726
proofs tovarish???
>>122039390
Games can always be puppeteered to look alive while allotting the bare minimum to maintenance. Many MMO's go into this stage after they royally fuck up and lose most of the playerbase. They then, desperate for money, make more and more "packs" or bundles to try to recoup losses which only pushes away the last of the players. The game is then given 1% of its original budget to keep the servers up and do nothing else hoping people come back. They don't and the servers are shut down. The last part can take years as a "dead game" can be kept afloat for almost nothing indefinitely if they do nothing but keep the servers up.
I know its asked fairly regularly but
BONGS WHEN?
I saw someone put "after soviet cruisers" last thread but when is that? mid 2016? late 2016?
>>122040242
>http://forum.worldofwarships.com/index.php?/topic/57076-british-ships-confirmed-as-next-line/#topmost
They are next in line.
Game is bleeding players though.
>>122040242
Why make bongs when you can release premium bongs for mad dosh.
>tfw they've fucked it up more and more with premature releases and bugs they refuse to fix
>tfw this was the only modern botes game
I had so much hope, but of course, WG finds a way to fail. I guess I'll try out Steel Ocean tomorrow, but I'm expecting very little from the Chinese.
So two things need to happen to save the game.
Steel ocean needs to send wargaming into full panic mode.
And wargaming needs to respond by other means than buy more packs tovarisch.
WoT saw a massive increase in quality when they were shitting themselves over WT tanks. The same needs to happen here.
>>122040447
>Filling Germans & Ruskie lines will be the focus of 2016
Oh no, does that mean Bongs 2017? Or later in 2016?
I am not of much impressed
>new mexico
>2 torpedos coming at me
>1 hits for 4k, the second detonates me
simply epic
>>122041108
Too bad as it turns out their panic over WT tanks was completely unneeded. I think it also kind of made them not care that AW is out now simply because they know WoT is so large that it would be really hard to topple.
>>122041179
Should be flying detonation flags if you don't want to be detonated
>>122041108
They would never respond by making their game better. Slav fashion is to release a really cool premium ship to try to rake in the money like they did with Tirpitz. Fix the game? Fire this idiot immediately, Tovarish, Why spend money on fixes when ships make money.
>>122040991
I did too anon. I understand your sadness. Up in the beta test, pre 3.0 this game was so bright I could almost touch the stars. Now its just shit.
>>122041108
What did WG do exactly when WT tanks came out?
>>122041264
you're right, I get detonated so much I just have them on me at all times, right?
RIP World of Warships, ;_;7

>>122041339
Well, at least the botesluts aren't going anywhere... but I kinda need something besides Jap browser games with sprites of cute girls to fill my bote cravings.
It's a sad life, to be in a niche interest group.
Yknow whats the worst part? This past hour of sadposting has been more eventful for this general than pretty much this past half a day. Thats fucking something. I think we just ran out of things to talk about guys, there is only so much gripe we can do.we'll probably be here again tommorow, in a new thread, talking about the same things we did yesterday.
>>122041603
Steel Ocean is our hope for a modern bote game. All Steel Ocean has to do to blow WoWs out of the water is not be jewish and don't put game breaking bugs into release.
Just be competent and not have high school level decision making.
>>122041754
WoWs competitor starts up tomorrow on steam. I don't expect it to be huge on release, but it may grow slowly with momentum.
>>122041339
>What did WG do exactly when WT tanks came out?
MUH HD MODELSthat's about it
>>122041928
At least we will all migrate from here to there, right?
>>122041754
I'll probably be here until the population drops down to WoWP levels. It's not like I'm doing anything with my life.
>>122041928
>All Steel Ocean has to do to blow WoWs out of the water is not be jewish

>not acting like jews
I guess we'll see how it is tomorrow.
These are WoWs' devs. Point at the ones with a high school or higher education.
>>122041754
At least you'll always have me, right?
>>122042030
I honestly don't know. I'm going to post screenshots and shit of how the game is and my personal views. Hopefully that entices more anons. I don't want anyone to get left behind. ;_;

>>122043019
Imagine if AP was good in all situations.
Where HE was situational and only good on ships that were angled.
Imagine if there were no IJN CVs and only US CVs.
AA was stronger back then as well.
The Des Moines was a monster of a ship and extremely good.
Imagine Shimakaze torpedos that were much more dangerous.
Imagine DDs being able to smoke cover their entire fleet or chain smoke with another team mate on the cap.
It was a better game anon.

Oh boy, better prepare you anus, anon.
Those guns had a rate of fire that was pretty much complete dogshit even under optimum conditions, and WG appears to take a somewhat more realistic reload than the optimal minimum.
And if tehy had things like misfires, Rodney would end up unplayable.
Those turrets were really, really bad mechanical-reliabilty-wise.

How did it go so wrong so quickly. I haven't seen a community turn on a dime like this ever.
>>122044685
supertesters suck their dick hard.
It's a wonder why people think devs need their hands held when such acts just help the game fail.
Supertesters are literally addict enablers.
>>122044685
The dog fighting per was noticed and even documented. It was pushed through anyway.
The rest was not even on the test server.
They implemented the most important changes in the game without even testing them. This is how incompetent they are.
>>122044685
Because it wasnt on the test server apparently. I think everything was fine on the test server, then they "fixed" the armor mechanics, which broke them, which then caused a lot of these problems.
>>122044805
>Supertesters are literally addict enablers
reminder that 0.5.1 was never supertested, it went straight from internal test to public test
>>122044782
It started to happen right after the game launched. It's only becoming a big problem now because most of the good players are leaving. Seriously I used to see teams act like teams nearly every game, now I'm lucky if I find a game where half the team acts like a team.
>>122044782
The WoT players migrated with release.
The good players are leaving or have already left.
5.1 update has proven how incompetent these devs are and people are simply fed up.
>>122045182
>5.1 update has proven how incompetent these devs are
people should have known this from the beginning, remember, the WoT vet devs aren't working on the game, it's the Wargaming B team that works on WoWs.
not that the WG A team is any better but still
there may yet be hope anons, 0.5.1.1 is being supertested now and I am downloading it, will dump my patchnotes after it's done
>>122045360

nah, they just put forth zero effort to guard their sekrits
Best case scenario, top brass gets fed up and puts SerB in to save the day.
>>122044828
is cheaper this way, tovarisch!
less testing, less time wasted, more time when game earns ruble and we drink vodka!
>>122045604

i wouldn't hold out hope for that one, anon. but i'll still download it anyway i suppose

Tomorrow it begins.
>>122045631
Doubtful.
>>122045678
I dont think anyone is really holding out for it, but maybe the devs arent completely incompetent, and it might get WG to start making WoWS better.
>>122045678
It will be fun for a few weeks at least, maybe the slavs use the time to unfuck their game.Haha, good joke, I know
>>122045631

>>122048229
>>122048007
I'm pretty sure it was the mobo or PSU, i was having blue screens every once in a while for a while, then one day it just decided to crash on me. Tried turning it back on and the screen wouldnt register the computer, but the fans and lights would turn on. Fixed it for a couple days when i took out a RAM stick, but it eventually shut off again. It was most likely the mobo, and i would fix it but its also decently old and i should build myself a new one anyways, just gotta wait a little while and get the cash. I have been thinking of throwing the 550TI into this system to replace the 7450, but i need to check the PSU power output and shit.
Played my first match after the patch, i miss you guys, I don't like winning alone ;.;
>>122048445
does that mean it can still love?
>>122048658
Probably, if i dont scrap it.its too late, i already started scrapping it for parts for my other friends system, but i will always keep its hard drive.

But will they allow the swastika?I thought the Chinese banned national symbols of any kind in their games
>>122050961
Hopefully they get a better translator though, their screenshots on steam have wierd ass grammar and it pisses me off. The HUD also looks fucking filled full of shit.
Steel Ocean is out in China and whatnot, right?
What's DD gameplay like?
>>122051108
It's not a problem, it's good.
Fuck Korea, yed Thailand butthurt over naval flags
>all this desperation to the point of latching onto a fucking chinese made naval warfare game
>>122051427
you would too if your computer couldn't love anymore
>>122051152
China's become a bit looser with restrictions, but yeah. The german flag they use is the flag of modern germany, not the flag of the kriegsmarine, or even pre nazi Germany.
But when WoT was released in china they had to use entirely fictional nations and symbols.
Maybe it has something to do with games developed in China vs foreign made games imported.
>>122051747
There's nothing left in life to love anyways
>>122051752
Probably. Speaking of games developed in china, WG panders china like nothing else. They even have a fucking complete gold tank, just for them, thats got off the charts credit gain if i remember. Also, Chinese naval tree here in WoWS. I can understand one in steel ocean, but come the fuck on.

>>122054023
It really depends on the person, some people really just dont like it, there are people like me who use it to kill time, and do like it but are burned out, and there are those that play nothing but the game.
>>122054023
I remember getting so frustrated by being insta-nuked by arty while on the move and being constantly crammed into 300mx300m city knife-fight three lane brawling maps that I quit. Fuck WoT, I'm never going back. Not even the Conqueror turret buff was enough to lure me in again.

As a matter of fact, I do. Just not too much.
I stopped playing RU DD's lately. After the patch, their turrets explode too much. Found myself playing with 1 or no turrets for too many games in a row.
Actually, I haven't played much since the patch. †chain where are you ;_;

Game hasn't even seen an english release and already anu is sucking dick.You can download the chinese-language client, and I have, but I'm not sure if it'll be compatible with the steam release and it's in chink so gl understanding it without basic moonrune knowledge
http://hz.changyou.com/download/index.shtml
There's a client install like WoWS, direct dl, and a believe a magnet link.
Just use google translate andhave fun lol

>>122057280
Isn't there a tier 1 turret modification that makes it so your less likely to have a turret blow up?
Does it do anything or is it just placebo?
>>122057552
;_;
Stop stalking me.
I have school all day tomorrow and I wanted that shit preloaded so I could just sit down and play when I got done with my classes.
>>122057658
It's only a 20% less chance, so on Russian DD's it would barely make a difference.
Besides I don't have interest in equipping mods on ships I have no interest in keeping.
Still it's not so much that the turrets are so fragile, it's that somehow a DD with half its firepower can top the scoreboard.
I want to stick my dick in this game.

It's ok. Take it easy.
>>122058950
2 Dess-class behind her.
>>122059528
Its the one at the end Fuso? Not the Takao-class back there, the fourth pagoda bote. The range-finder looks right to me.
>>122059665
Speaking of range finders.
Ships in SO use radar.
>>122059842
>Ships in SO use radar.
fucking SOLD
>>122059842
Elaborate.
im gay
>>122059665
I think it is, I guessed it just by the fact that Fuso's pagoda is higher than Kongo or Nagato's.
Or it could be an Ise class, Fuso's pagoda looks too thin compared to the one in that trailer.
>>122060245
I'd feel safe in calling that a Fuso. Camera angles can be tricky.
can ships in steel ocean control their secondaries?
Whats the difference between the T5 Konigsberg and T6 Nurnberg? They look practically the same.
>>122060479
This isn't kancolle anon.
Ships can't control anythingbut you can
>>122060537
Nothing.Nurnberg has a slightly faster rate of fire and the rear turrets are centerline mounted instead of off center.
>>122059980
>>122060106

>Investigation range
Which means Radar and at which range you detect ships.
>The investigation range is equal to the radar equipment on the ship.
>If a target enters your radar range, it will be lit up to shoot at.
>Static fog banks in game will provide concealment from radar.
>Ships can share radar data if they are in a specific range.
>>122060479
Yes.
You can also control your AA against carrier planes.
But, AA is also automatically done if you are busy fighting.
>>122060367
Ise confirmed.
>>122060559
i hope ships can control their bladder
>>122060945
Forgot to add, if you look at the bottom right, you can see the radar refresh rate on your minimap around your ship.
>>122060931
instead of off center.
what the fuck is even the point of doing that??
>>122061141
I assume it had something to do with muzzle blast issues when firing directly behind.
>>122061271
its just so annoying because them being off center sometimes means one turret is traversing in the WRONG DIRECTION when aiming at a certain angle.
>>122060976
how have a team of chinks managed to make a game with literally every suggestion WoWs players have been asking for since forever?
>subs
>depth charges
>controllable secondaries
>controllable AA
>Ise
next you'll tell me you can adjust the gyro on your torpedos
>>122061141
According to Wiki, it was designed to increase the firing arc.
>One turret was located forward, and two were placed in a superfiring pair aft. The rear gun turrets were offset to increase their arc of fire.
>>122061415
I would not be surprised at this point anon if they were able to do that. Keep in mind the video I linked is from early 2014.
>>122061415
Chinks goal is making money. Unlike WG, they realize that people are more likely to spend money on a fun game that works than on a frustrating game that doesn't work.
>>122061415
As nice as these things are I don't really care about them. What broke WoWS is how completely inept the devs are and how obvious it is that marketing is calling the shots. WoWS set the bar really low for the chinks to surpass.
>>122060367
>>122060976
Also, pic related. Ise in the front, Hyuga on the left, fuso on the right.
>>122057342What exactly gave it away?
>>122061624
>how obvious it is that marketing is calling the shots. WoWS set the bar really low for the chinks to surpass.
yep, fuck WG, their pay model is shit
>oh look a new T6 premium destroyer, I wonder how much it costs?
>oh..it's not in the tech tree ill check the website
>*NEW SHIP* BUNDLE ONLY, 45 DOLLARS PLUS ALL THESE USELESS FUCKING DUBLOONS AND FLAGS AND CREDITS
>PLEASE GIVE US MONEY
fuck WG don't they realize they would literally rake in the cash if they just sold mid tier premiums for like 15 bucks without a bundle? fujin a minekaze clone was 40 fucking dollars
>>122061415
It seems like that the game is like this simply because its so much like battlestations midway and pacific, which also had that stuff.
>>122061817
Is this a bad thing? Lower graphics requirements, more content. Both of those games were fun.
>>122061415
Man, I really want to play an Ise in her carrierbattleship configuration.

It's this dev's first time using steam; I don't think he knows the client experience, so he's probably assuming that there'll be a link instead of a download button.

It was actually struck by another torpedo.

>>122068332
You must upgrade the torpedo bombers, the individual torps will do negligible damage otherwise.
But yes, don't upgrade the fighters until further notice.
>>122068323
no she wasn't
the sub crash dived asap and barely survived when she suddenly dived deeper than her maximum depth
she shot only 3 torps (from like 750 meters, no less) which hit at the same time, it was 4 minutes before the magazine explosion
now why did the magazines explode?
>>122068414
What about cap skills? BFT/SA/ERG?
>>122068148
>several tons of carefully packed explosives/propellant/fuzes fall to one side of a steel box full of broken/burning steel

Most probably a fire in the magazine department.
>>122068519
For 1st tier I mean.
Just went a game and despite only conecting 4 torps the whole game, a victory gave 800 base exp, how did that happen?
>>122068519
IIRC, I went rear gunner > torp reload > dogfighting > plane health > SA > air supremacy for my IJN CVs. USN CVs should run the same, really.

The T8 KM battleship is Bismarck, no mention of Tirpitz so far.

>mfw Takao is a tier 9 cruiser

I know the japs had a high opinion of those ships, but was the Takao really that much better?
>>122071308
Yes, the Takaos were considered by everyone, including USN engineers, to be the best CAs IJN had in service.
I have no idea what the T10 is though. It definitely isn't Ibuki. Think it might be

Are A-150s suppposed to just annihilate everything or something?
>>122067990
I'm pretty sure all aircraft launched torpedoes are supposed to be slow, it would be absolutely stupid for them to go even faster when they are dropped right off the side of your ship. It does make for funny moments though when you outrun them in your gnevy.
>>122071457
Huh... Yet they insisted on building the Mogami and then the Ibuki instead of upgraded Takaos.
And yeah, that tier 10 does look like the B65. I presume the burgers have the Alaska as their tier 10. Man, I'm actually interested in this game now.
>>122071551
It may look like shit, but graphics can be improved. If the gameplay is amazing, then it's going to be a killer.
>>122071551
Mogami was conceived as a cheaper, more reliable version of the Takaos, as even the engineers could tell they were running out of resource, so it really shouldn't surprise you much that they didn't perform as well. Also, they were converted into aviation cruisers, which would render them mostly useless for videogame purposes.

Illinois has been implemented as the original Montana-class version, rather then the converted Iowa-class.
At this point we have no idea how the lines are balanced and how the three tX BBs perform, so pray for good gameplay and national pecularities (^:
>>122071843
I'm guessing that the burgers are gonna get their superheavy shells to make up for their smaller caliber of guns... Plus radar fire control. Both things that would balance their more grounded weapons systems against the fantastic Japanese and German paper designs. Things WG has failed to implement entirely.

the CV lines are organised mainly by hangar sizeand supposed performanceI think.
Also you haven't played the game, just wait and see before you pass judgement on paper ships.
>>122072000
That's because it's trying to translate a japanese name as if it was chinese.
Although, Yamato was japan's original name, so it's partially ok.
If you translate manually from japanese to english it says Yamato and Sho Yamato respectively.
>>122072396
the translation for Kongou is King Kong.
You can't make this shit up.

Also there's two different versions of Nagato in the same line. This makes me very very happy.

So Kongo = King Kong?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QltfvpUFhvM
Sorry, sizefag here.
>>122073096
>>So Kongo = King Kong?
Kongo refers to Mt. Kongo, Battlecruisers were named after mountains, battleships after famous regions of japan, cruisers named after rivers I think and destroyers named after mythical beings/events
I think I remembered that right
>>122073203
*Heavy and battlecruisers, since Japan didn't officially distinguish the two are mountains, light cruisers are rivers, e.g Kuma and Sendai.
>>122072707
that game doesn't focus on pre-ww1, ww-1 and 20ss, hence why they start with farragut and mutsuki
>>122073203
>battleships
Provinces
>battlecruisers
Mountains
>carriers
Flying things, mostly (cranes, dragons, phoenixes)
>heavy cruisers
More mountains
>light cruisers
Rivers
>destroyers
Weather events (storms, rains, waves, etc)
>>122073203
I know that. I was refering to the google translation of Kongo.
>>122073203
金剛 = Kongou in Japanese. Since Chinese don't have kana or any other alpahbet they just mimic sounds with hanzi(Chinese characters). The Chinese for King-Kong just happens to be 金(Kin) 剛(Gong).
>>122072806
It's the same way as navyfield does it. rather than having hull upgrades you have actual different versions of ships.
I'm so going DDs in SO. Fuck the others, going fast is best.

Do you see wargaming?
We are pinning our hopes on the Chinese of all people. Some of us actually believe gaijin will produce a better product than you now. It's time to step up your game.
So my Houshou's fighters are getting obliterated by Langley's, its not even a contest, they seem to have more health and myfighters can't even lay a scratch. Am I doing something wrong?
>>122060537
As Konig you get to sea club harder because low tier cruiser are easier to citpen and CV aren't that much of a threat yet
>>122076934
Ya, you are playing an IJN CV :')
>>122076934
in t4-5 your fighters are sacrificial units to allow your bombers to pass through unscathed. Ideally you should be killing the enemy CV with your first run, but if not, just kite his fighters away from your bombers. Remember, your fighters are FASTER then Langley fighters, which means you can decide when/if to engage.
i definitely like x3 event and the cap changes
a nice result for 18.3k damage, eh?
>>122076934
No, this is intentional because of national peculiarities and the retarded fighter damage system they have implemented.
The japanese peculiarity is that you have more squadrons but fewer planes per squadron, this means that in a squad on squad engagement you're already at a disadvantage. But the system as it currently functions gives a dogfighting advantage to the slower planes, which for some reason happens to clap planes, even though historically claps had the faster planes.
When playing japanese carriers your fighters are good for only 3 things.
Scouting
Spotting DD's
Sacrificing to clap fighters to ensure some of your bombers get to the target.
>>122077261
>Spotting DD's
Only enemy CV does it ;__;

Have you tried playing your own game?
If this seems p2w to you, what is World of Warships? Pay to not lose?
More importantly, do you understand how these mechanics will work ingame?
I didn't think so, at least wait for the game to come out before you pass judgement on GAME-BREAKING MECHANICS.

well, wows don't have gold only consumables except flags which are not freely sold on most of the servers and which don't affect the game as strong as these consumables which i listed too
Does fire control system increase accuracy? or it just extend t he range of guns?
>>122080210
>10% increased range
>less than 10% increased dispersion at max range
Make what you will out of it.
So for people who didn't see this yet. Buttdevastated baBBies on RU spent tens of thousands of training battles to test damage model over the past and found this shit. Basically, you can shoot Japanese BB's curved funnels with small caliber guns and the shell will ricochet in the citadel. It works on every IJN BB from Nagato to Yamato. They provided a replay with Nicholas citadeling Hotel like this. Pure gold.
>>122080863
Well? Where's the replay?
>>122078982
So just like WG games then?
p2w is everywhere in f2p games.
>>122080863
Just like one of my japanese animes
How this shit made it to the live server baffles me.
>>122080863
Does that happen like 1 in 10,000 shots or it always happen?
>>122080928
Not sure if that's the Hotel one.
http://www63.zippyshare.com/v/INbjEOK8/file.html
>>122081018
Apparentely it was live since forever but this is the first time players were mad enough to find it.
>>122081101
It happens often enough to be able to recreate it.
>>122081018
Obviously they wanted to be Accurate™ and model in the possibility of a citpen by plunging fire down the stacks.
Then they fucked up the ricochet mechanics so small enough caliber guns could ricochet their way into any BB's citadelpussy.
DDs are the true rapists. Nagato rapes by brute force, but for destroyers, it is an art form.
Let us paint.
>>122081138
>this is the first time players were mad enough to find it.
There's something funny about that

>>122080863
Tiny Yamato boilers can't handle the 120mm
>>122081709
Only thing is, that isn't practical in a battle. You don't get to always shoot from that angle.
It's still fucking hilarious though.
>>122081709
Consider the fact that he didn't even know what he was doing. There was a "holy shit I just citadeled a funnel, shell stops and fall right into machinery, lol WG)))))" post on RU forum and they just started testing it before a dev confirmed that it's the richochets later on.
>>122082036
nicholas has 127mm guns, not 120!
>>122078982
any ship can smoke. its a engine setting where you force it to just smoke it out, kind of like tonks do.

>>122083318
It's silly. So many of those should have been citpens but apparently wargaming moved the citadels to the smokestacks.

They develop and market games for a home audience, and if their business model and products are successful enough to attract a large international audience, I wouldn't call that incompetent.
>>122087819
the region lock is on the DMM side because they host porn too
>>122087974
i understand that you are their kek but there is no excuses for that missed profit, especially when the players don't even interact with each other i.e. gaijins cannot ruin them their native japanese air like why they ban gaijins on their imgboards and mmo
>>122087974
The point is the audience wouldn't be international if foreigners weren't willing to jump through hoops to play it. Its an international success despite kadokawa's intentions.
>>122088136
Have you seen the /a/ and to a lesser extent the /jp/ kancolle 'communities'? If you think those are bad, try the kancolle wiki and himeuta. Japan does not want ANYTHING to do with retards and gaijins, and the devs have already stated that the game itself barely pays for itself. The actual profit comes in from Merchandise, which is (mostly) accessible to anyone.
>>122088174
Like >>122088120 said, DMM, the distributor/publisher, imposed the region lock, not Kadokawa. The devs have stated they do not care about foreigners playing the game as long as they don't fuck around with home players and tech.
>>122088383
I've seen native Japanese kancolle comunity. It's not like /a/'s degeneracy is original content.
>>122088383
i actually visited kancolle wiki, it's a nicely made and way better wiki than the official wiki of the world of warships, even than its russian version (english one is just sad)
also don't be a kek, it's stilliness on their part
as i have said, the western players wouldn't even interact with japanese
smart japanese companies when they see their popularity, they use it
consider pixiv, it used to have japanese only interface, but as soon as they realized they are popular in the west they introduced the english interface, now, people who post their pictures there are way more weaboo than the kancolle community and they do interact with the japanese audience there

>>122068148
>could somebody explain me how you get a sudden magazine explosion when you simply roll on your board minutes after being hit
It basically goes like this:
1) be the Royal Navy and Imperial Japanese Navy
2) ignore research into propellants that are not extremely unsafe and explode when jostled
3) watch as your ships explode
The RN and IJN used propellants from before WW1, namely cordite.
When those were jostled around a lot, like after beign hit or when the ship rolled over from capsizing, they simply blew up catastrophically.
In contrast, he US (and the Germans, too) developed propellants after and during WW1 that were less likely to just blow up your ship.
Several times,US and German ships were thuus able to actually survive magazine explosions (even though they did still cause tremendous damage, and also some pretty bad fires)
The differences were in the ease with which those charges would ignite, and the rapidity with which they would then deflagrate.
What blows things apart is the initial pressure spike. Cordite produces a very rapid, sharp pressure wave.
If the pressure rises only a bit more gradually, like it does with the propellatsn developed by other navies, this allows some structure in the ship to bend instead of break or (as stupid as this sounds) the turret above the magazine to lift upward a bit, thus venting the pressure to the outside through this opening, instead of just blowing down or to the sides or into the engine spaces.

Yeah.With the fix cruisers will go back to being teh buttbois, adn teh baBBies can go back to mindless clicking.
It's literally the same as CVnts begging for more AA nerfs because AA ws able to actually shoot down planes.
Now, if the baBBies wer asking for less retarded RNG, that would've been a thing. Because the amount of RNG is complete bullshit.
But crying bitter tears about being unable to just oneshot cruisers again is just full-on baBBiemode.
Look at those comments on poland site kek
>>122083636
Bad QA, no testing, 'beta' was actually relaese instead of the sorely need testing of features.
Dumb decisions in beta then fucked the game and the ripple effects from the band-aids those decisions caused everywhere that will plague the game for months.
>>122090637
>3 complete salvos from a fuso, sometimes 4.
from a shit distance, while showing it's broadside.
Yeah, because it should take about 6, right?
>>122090808
>>122090637
While I don't think that it should take over 2 minutes to take out a single cruiser sitting broadside at sub 10km.
I do think that cruisers should be punished for broadsiding 16 inch or bigger guns.
Its like showing your rear armor to a TD in WoT. You don't fucking do it.
>>122090808
How much damage could the Furutaka (or Aoba) cause on the Fuso in that time?
>>122090964
It will fucking sink it with torps you goof.
>>122090905
Ships with 16" guns (or bigger) have zero problems against cruisers, angled or not.
Only the shitty 14" and smaller guns are having trouble, and you can easily wreck cruisers with HE even with the bugged penetration right now.
>>122091145
It's the other way around, low tier BBs don't have problem citapening
>>122091116
Why would the Fuso just sail straight without changing course for 40+ seconds if it is duelling a cruiser at that range after the cruiser does the utterly obvious I-am-launching-torps turn?
Oh, right. It's a baBBy who just wants to win without having to think, change course, or speed.
Case in point.
>>122091145
Ships with 16'' and bigger guns are overpenning the shit out of cruiser that are not angled. If a cruiser broadsides at 6 km from Yamato, the Hotel will do 1600 damage per shell because there isn't a single place on the fucking CAsual that has thick enough armor to explode it. It was punished by millions of citpens before but now it isn't.
>>122091257
I didn't say citpenning.
I said they do not have problems.
It's piss-easy to just kill a cruiser without citpenning.
Well, OK. Colorado and Izumo do have problems because they literally can't hit shit, but that is the retarded RNG, not penetration bugs.
>>122091334
Why would Furutaka(Aoba) just stand there and let Fuso shoot its entire salvoes right into its side?
>talk about test environment where it takes 3 salvoes to sink a cruiser
>but when it's cruiser shooting at baBBy they are suddenly moving and maneuvering
>>122091145
Eh, I don't know. I have been playing Atago nonstop these past few days. Broadsiding Tirpitz, Montanas, Nagatos and Amagis from 10 to 5 km away without much worry. Sure, from time to time I do get citadel'd, but those are rare in between, and I survive them.
It's actually quite hilarious that they can't do anything to stop me while I keep wrecking their superstructures with 3k-5k HE salvoes + fires. I don't even need the torps.
>>122091351
They said it's a bug that you're getting more cit pens.
>>122091614
They fucked up below-waterline citadel hits while fixing it. Those were the majority of citadel hits prior to 0.5.1 according to devs but now they are literally impossible.
>>122091351
>If a cruiser broadsides at 6 km from Yamato
The cruiser will actually die to secondaries.
> It was punished by millions of citpens before but now it isn't.
Which, according to WG, was not intended.
I understand that losing the ability to oneshot every CA in the game is a nerf, but are you really surprised?
This kind of thinking is just like the CVnts who went on and on about how every non-carrier is a target they should be able to sink at will by clicking without losing planes in meaningful numbers.
This kind of unbalanced shit is what killed the game.
>>122091752
>according to devs
Most citadels I saw come from hitting right at the waterline of the cruiser then move under, into in citadels under the waterline, not shells entering after it hits the water.
No idea what they are doing though, lets just wait and see.

Stop pretending to be retarded.
Or just go back to the official forums where you can join the other baBBies demanding to get their clicking powers back.
Literally as bad as teh CVnts.
It's like you people want the game to be an unbalanced shitpile that fails.
>>122091517
Try that with a Mogami or Ibuki, and they will simply kill you with normal pens.
For bonus lulz, try it in a Hipper.
>>122091994

>But it's short range so there's no RNG involved!
The next shot only 5 of 12 hit, at 4km.

>ship has above 50% health

>>122091810
>secondaries.
Good joke.
>Which, according to WG, was not intended.
Yes it was. Armored deck richochets weren't supposed to be considered citadel hits, water stealing shells is a completely different matter. Are you seriosuly implying that BBs should do more damage to other BBs than CAs because the latter has less armor and that means more overpens?
>>122091994
You're the one who asked how much damage will Aoba do in the same amount of time it takes for Fuso to sink a Furutaka that stays still at 5km range you dense motherfucker. I'm giving you the answer for Fuso that stands still at 5km range from Aoba.
>>122092236
And in real battles you won't be firing at an still target, so that's an aggravating factor aswell.
>>122092608
>You're the one who asked how much damage will Aoba do in the same amount of time it takes for Fuso to sink a Furutaka that stays still at 5km range you dense motherfucker. I'm giving you the answer for Fuso that stands still at 5km range from Aoba.

Then tell me how much a Cleveland would do

After I get Yamato, I plan on grinding through the US BBs, currently on Colorado. Do I get the AA upgrade over the GFCS range upgrade from here on out?
>This game will unlock in approximately 3 hours
Hurry the fuck up chinks.
>>122092608
>Are you seriosuly implying that BBs should do more damage to other BBs than CAs because the latter has less armor and that means more overpens?
I am not implying things here, this is apparently what WG wants.
They quite clearly stated that teh number of citpens cruisers were taking was too high because internal armor was simply not working.
Also, it would make a lot of sense froma gameplay perspective to make BB AP deal more damage to other BBs.
Becasue, you know, it's the BBs mission to fight other BBs. Except since the start of beta i's been easier for BBs to just delete all the cruisers to farm more XP and credits.
Which honestly struck me as a rather odd design concept, but since the game was pretty much turned into retarded ideas central at that time it didn't stand out all that much.
>>122092083
What makes them different? AFAIK, all IJN cruisers are citadel sluts.

>>122093361
What a retarded goalpost moving. Because CAs are known for their low speeds and it's always the BB who decides where fight will take place. Well all right, let's do the fucking math.
>Fuso AP damage per minute: 10,200x2.1x12=257,040
>Fuso HE damage per minute: 5,700x2.1x12=143,640
>Fuso average HE fire probability per minute: 0.25x2.1x12= 6.3
>Cleveland AP damage per minute: 3,200x7.5x12=288,000
>Cleveland HE damage per minute: 2,200x7.5x12=198,000
>Cleveland average HE fire probability per minute: 0.12x7.5x12= 10.8
>Aoba AP damage per minute: 4,700x5,5x6 = 155,100
>Aoba HE damage per minute: 3,300x5.5x6=108,900
>Aoba average HE fire probability per minute: 0.17x5.5x6= 5.61
>Nuernberg AP damage per minute: 3,900x10x9 = 351,000
>Nuernberg HE damage per minute: 1,700x10x9=153,000
>Nuernberg average HE fire probability per minute: 0.8x10x9= 7.2
Since citadels are impossible to hit now and overpens are all over the place bigger caliber penetration is fucking useless. Meanwhile cruisers enjoy better accuracy, more speed, btter maneuverability, better turret traverse speed, better concealment, smaller silhouette and 2 out of 3 can actually fucking outgun the BB or shoot torpedos. This all for tradeoff of having smaller amount of health.
>>122093621
>number of citpens cruisers were taking was too high because internal armor was simply not working.
It was. Now it is too low because they slipped in another bug while fixing armor.
>it's the BBs mission to fight other BBs
>BB: deal damage with your main battery
>CA: hunt destroyers and provide AA support
>it's literally in the loading screen
>>122093621
>it's the BBs mission to fight other BBs.
Actually, it is to fight other BB's AND CA's.
Remember, RPS:
>DD counters DD and BB
>CA counters CA and DD
>BB counters BB and CA
>CV counters everything, with varying degrees of success.
CA's are not supposed to go around dueling BB's. They're supposed to escort BB's by hunting down DD's and providing AA. Their available abilities are literally designed for those roles. That they're also capable of adding some damage against BB's is a plus, but they're not entitled to it. Just like how a DD can engage a cruiser, but it's not the smartest move.
People just get spoiled by mid tier CL firehoses, which are in fact capable of dueling BB's 1v1 (and terrible AA ships), so they go into T8+ thinking they're entitled to do the same.
The main issue CA's have is DD's being underpowered, which reduces their population, lowering in turn the CA chances of doing their jobs.
But then again, not like you care to discuss this. I'm just going to be called a baBBy and summarily disregarded while CAsuals keep crying foul for their leet, high skill/risk/reward ship being kept down by the man.

Honestly, this game plays like shit. Ship handling is clunky as hell, graphics are ass and gunplay is meh. Awesome gun sounds though.
Which is a shame, because if this game actually played well, it would easily blow wows out of the water. Comprehensive tech tree, specifix consumables for specific damages, manual AA as and when you need it, better commander system etc. Too bad it handles like ass, because this game is easily better than WoWS on paper.

A. the 'growth plan' sounds interesting ('invest' 10.8k gold in making an eventual 22k gold and an amount of global/free XP as you play the game.)
And B. You can CHOOSE how much of a jew you want to be with penny increments.. instead of "Must buy this package deal to get gold"
And it would seem you double your gold the first time you meet a particular 'tier'(what would be considered "gold bundle" in WoWS.. buy 500g for $1 and get extra 500g.)
Their gold system shoots WG out of the water..Not that I'm spending any $$ of course.

Hoo boy somebody is mad.

>>122114354
BB HE doesn't do full damage either most of the time, and that's 2 salvos per minute.

So strong is actually terrifying, doing 100 damage with each secondary hit.

If CAs could risk not tking barrage, or if that sonar ability was a permanent passive for them, they'd be good agasint DDs.
As it is, only the 6" armed CLs are really good against DDs.
"Nagato proto"

????????????????????
what the fuck is this game doing
>>122114354
There is no RNG about amount of AP damage. You can either penetrate citadel and do full damage, penetrate and do 1/6 of damage or overpen and do 1/10 of damage. BBs can't pen cruisers unless those are angled, they always overpen and do 10% of basic damage. Everything with 6'' guns and greater has no problem penetrating BB superstructure, bow and aft. If you're shooting secondaries or belt while in a cruiser instead of superstructer/bow/aft then you should consider killing yourself. If you're at a range where you can't aim at diffrenet parts of a BB then chances are he won't be able to hit you at all. Don't even get me started on how one HE shell out of Cleveland salvo doing no damage is a fucking joke compared to Fuso shell not doing any damage.
>>122108392
Kek. I went from single kills to triple kills in my DDs just because the skilled players are bleeding out of the game and leaving the retards behind.
Game's full of BBs that can't steer, DDs that can't knife fight, CVs that can't spot and CAs that can't protect any of the other retards from walking into a torpedo. What a time to be alive.

Most people agree that 2007 was the beginning of the end of RS, with the removal of the wilderness a lot of people left the game. Then in 2012, they revamped the combat system, which also made some people leave, basically since 2007, the game has been losing players and jagex managed to retain some by relaunching the old RS, but its still nowhere near as big as it used to be.

It's so hard to hit things in steel ocean, I think i only hit the enemy 8 times, am I shit or is there a better way to do this?
>>122120223
That's the issue. Both statements are true, sometimes.
Sometimes, cruisers get deleted by single stray shells, even if they evade constantly and present a small profile.
Sometimes, BB's can't get hits due to RNG, and the hits they do aren't citadels.
Matter of fact is, BB's aren't all that accurate, and cruisers are made of paper. But BB's don't miss all of their shots, just like cruisers can survive and do plenty of damage.
Of course, both sides will insist they're the only victims, because they'll only notice the times they get fucked over.
Coincidentally, everyone ignores sensible arguments like >>122096215 , because those don't help to advance any agenda or paint one side as complete OP monsters.

>cruisers get deleted by single stray shells
I highly doubt that. I'm a filthy dirty CAsual and the only time I've ever been deleted was when I exposed my broadside for far too long. I've literally been detonated more times in my Tirpitz (it was a gift before anyone asks) than I've been one-shot in my Mogami. Sure, once in a while I'll have 10~15k HP left and a single shell will citpen me, but instead of whining about how citpens are OP I ask myself what I could've done differently that game and move on.
I feel like I'm losing more often in so. Is this problem happening for anyone else?

>>122121317
>sensible arguments
If it actually was sensible and true, it might be an adequate compromise.
But since all it says is 'DDs are underpowered, if there were more DDs then CAs would have a role'
Which, in simple terms, is not true.
DDs will always spot the CAs before the CAs spot the DDs. DDs either launch on the CA, or abort and go somewhere else. DDs may hita CA, but can't do their job. Minimal XP for the DDs.
Enemy BBs will probably shoot the enemy CAs first, becasue they are close. CAs get citpenned once, take some non citpen damage, lose half to two-thirds of their hitpoints.
CAs just did their job and protected the BBs. Yay. Zero XP and credits for the CAs, they lost most of their hitpoints and can fuck off and do nothing for the rest of the match.
See how this is not balanced? Two classes cancelling each other out for absolutey no XP return is just completely retarded.
As long as damage is the only way to get XP, 'CAs kill DDs' equals saying 'CAs should not get any XP, ever' and 'DDs should never be able to torp the BBs'
Nobody here is saying 'CAs should nuke BBs without taking damage'. Which is something no cruiser outside of retardedly overpower HE spammers like the Cleveland ever could do, anyway.
But the baBBies pretty much unviersally seem to demand the ability to oneshot cruisers at will, from any range and angle, simply because they are BBs.
As noted above, this is an arguemnt on the same level as the CVs who demand the ability to sink everything while losing a number of strike planes that they can replace from their reserve four or five times per battle.
Which translates to 'CVs have effectively unlimited planes, plane kills are meaningless, AA is a meme except for the barrage effect'

Steel Ocean is even tinier. Most fights happen at less than 4km range because of shitty detection mechanics.
steel ocean has better gameplay featurs like controllable AA/secondaries night battles and subs and more boats but WoWs has better movement and "core" gameplay

What the fuck guys
Why did they do this?
Wargaming. What the hell happened?
>>122129980
The devs handed control over to marketing, who immediately proceeded to make the game as Jewish as possible.
I don't know why you expected anything different from a slavic dev team.
>>122130253
But they would at least make the game last long like WoT or WoWP.
Wow Wargaming Bravo
>>122129728
>play very cautiously, rarely getting spotted by enemy
If you try that with Slav or USN DD's, your doing it wrong

surely Steel Ocean will be better right guys?
>>122131029
Then you should be torpedoing at ranges where you'll never be spotted at all
>>122131029
Then your doing it right.
USN and Russky DD's are DD hunters and Gunboats - playing cautiously and trying to stay hidden completely defeats their purpose
>>122131101
see >>122129725
Both dev teams need to fix their shit. Both games are bad. Someone kill this general already.
>>122126991That seems like a sensible argument,so I won't bother to reply to it.Cheers.
lol, in SO the japs have their fucking submarine aircraft carrier
>>122132668
What ship is that?

Marketing wants money right fucking NOW.
Theere is no 'long term'
There is just the project in the now.
The project will end next yer anyway. Most of the marketing team will be in another job by then, better to grab that bonus this year.
And having a good performance selling this f2p video game on their CV will look just great :^)
That is literally what they teach you in business school.
This is of course completely retarded in a market where WG risks becoming known as 'that company that made this one tank game and then failed forever while trying to make another good game'
But applying very much generalized theories and methods to individaully very different market niches and highly specialized products, and then blaming the market for 'not understanding the product' or 'not being ready yet' is pretty much an art form by now.
Noone who actually knows the market and the product in question will ever be bamboozled by the cool stories that will be made up, but hey, to the CEOs or whatever title the suits in command have given themselves it will sure sound like a good explanation for why the money stopped flowing after six months.
I'm T4 after this match and should be able to make a fleet, name suggestions?
>>122132970
I-400 has a few seaplane bombers. They were designed to fuck up the Panama canal.
>>122130627
>WoWP
Except WoWP didn't took off at all, right off the bat they had to compete with War Thunder, which back then felt much less like a hebrew money making scheme. The only popularity it had was WoT people briefly riding the novelty of WoT in air, then everyone either migrated to WT because it looked better and played better or went back to WoT because that's where they came from to begin with.
The only thing keeping WoWS afloat compared to WoWP is that it didn't have competition until now. The good thing with Steel Ocean is that while superior in certain aspects, it manages to be inferior in other leaving space for competition between those games and is less of a stark contrast when comparing WoWP and War Thunder. Hopefully WG will pick up the slack andwho am I kidding just kill me.
>>122133171
That's just the first launch, it took me 5 seconds the 2nd time round.
Maybe WG will see things they veto'd in action, in SO, see that it can and does work (controllable secondaries, subs, etc), and implement those things in WoWS.
Although I think they axed those kinda things so as to "not confuse players"
>>122134376
If they removed so much RNG aspects of the game and actually put real math behind their shit instead of random multipliers and chance shit the skill ceiling would go through the roof
suddenly, i recalled a book which i read ages ago... it had a chapter basically about wows
"Which of the boats is yours, dear?"
My Lady Charlotina pursed her lips in mock disapproval. "Ships, most venerable of plants [she speaks with a person named iron orchid]. That one is mine." She inclined her head in the direction of an immense reproduction of a woman, lying stomach-down in the water, her arms and legs spread out symmetrically, a crown of gold and diamonds upon her wooden head. "The Queen Elizabeth."
As they watched, a great gust of blackness billowed from the ears of the model and from the mouth (barely above the surface) there came a melancholy tooting.
...
She named some of the other peculiarly wrought vessels. "The Mary Rose. The Hindenburg. The Patna. And isn't that one beautiful — stately — The Leningrad?"
"They are all lovely," said The Iron Orchid vaguely. "What will they do when they are assembled?"
"Fight, of course," said My Lady Charlotina in excitement. "That's what they were built for, you see, in the Dawn Age. Imagine the scene — a heavy mist on the waters — two ships manoeuvring, each aware of the other, neither being able to find the other. It is, say, my Queen Elizabeth and Argonheart Po's Nautilus (I fear it will melt before the regatta is finished). The Nautilus sees the Queen Elizabeth, its foghorns disperse the mist, it focuses its funnels and — whoosh! — the Queen Elizabeth is struck by thousands of little belaying needles — she shudders and retaliates — from her forward ports (they must have been her breasts; that is where I've put them, at any rate) pour lethal tuxedos, wrapping themselves around the Nautilus and trying to drag it under. But the Nautilus is not so easily defeated … Well, you can imagine the rest, and I will not spoil the actual regatta for you. Almost all the ships are here now. I believe there are a couple of entries to come, then we begin."
>still no Steel Ocean general
Day 1 ded gaemNot that it's any better from WoWS in the first place.
>>122133592
KUMA
>>122135568
This is the Steel Ocean general.
rapespammer, can you change the next thread's title to /botes/ or something? It's basically what this has become.

>>122135568
So outside of Submarines, what makes the Chinese ripoff any different from the Slav shit?
>>122136147
>Secondaries and AA can be manually controlled
>Remarkably less jewish gold buying method
>Significantly less RNG
>Actually more ships than WoWS
Did they make capturing flags, assisting in flag captures, and defending flags more rewarding last patch? Cause I just got out of a game with my DD where I landed literally only two shots, and captured two flags, and got 1454 base exp and was the 2nd most contributing player on my team. No kills, hardly any damage.
>>122136324
>Remarkably less jewish gold buying method
remarkably more jewish gold only consumables
>>122136587
yes, because previously playing the objective did nothing
>>122136617
Which coincidentally, no-one has used, because they're gold only.
Is Last Stand worth taking as a DD? Whats the penalty to engine speed while its damaged?
>>122136807
wait till it gets competitive when those will be mandatory
>>122136987
yes it is but there may be better possibilities depending on your dd
>hop on NA
>9k people online
>no one else in /vg/ chat
just fuck my player base up
>>122137693
a sad day for palestine indeed, tovarisch
>>122137115
Japanese DDs, right now a Hatsuharu, where running away from people is what I spend most of my time doing if I dont have torps up.
>>122137693
It's still early. I just arrived from work, gotta get dinner and do stuff in the next 2 hours.
I'll hop in for T7s, 8's and 9's later
>>122138417
I'll gladly play with you.
>>122134376
>>122134880
If things work out in SO, I'll give controllable secondaries a 'maybe' and controllable AA a distant 'it's not impossible'
Subs are still shoehorned into any actual fleet battle game, no matter how casual or arcade it ends up.
If you want subs in a WW2 game, you need a scenario-driven approach where they make sense in the right scenario.
>>122136587
>capturing flags, assisting in flag captures,
Yes
>defending flags
that always gave you tons of XP
Well, we are the first fleet on the game.
Can I give my CV waypoints from the map like WoWS?
