Steel Ocean General

Feel free to post your progress or how you are doing with your ships.
Any questions should be posted and an anon should be around to help.

Just got to try some german BBs after sticking with the jap ones. Is it just me or do the german ships shoot over islands and shit much more easily?

It might be just you. All battleships I've seen are relatively the same. I don't really play them to be honest.
What tier are you at? I've also never really never had a problem about worrying about islands in any other ships.

>>125727870
still at tier 3 because I haven't played in a while

I'm playing all types of ship at the same time so I'm in t3-4

Been holding back too cause I'm kinda considering buying a growth plan but want to see how things shake up.

Did anyone else play the 5v5 matches today? Shit is ROUGH. The tiers are kinda fucked up and even a single death will make shit real hard to win.

>>125750041
That's the downside.
5v5 is part of a weekly that offers lots of silver
every player is going to bring their biggest ship, so MM has to lump what it can together.

Holy shit I'm on a fucking roll this weekend.

>>125753662
I'm still uncertain if additional scouting range is summing up or is it just not going past certain point

>>125753662
Nice

Anyone got any tips for a good scouting build or just general gameplay? I've noticed most of my group play ends with us blown the fuck up cause we didn't get good recon in time

>>125757496
The basic concept is to equip Rangefinder and commanders with additional scouting.

I'm still experimenting with it but I got to 4.1km spotting

>>125757564
I got to a set up made of 4 elite commanders (with two getting promoted to legendary so probably not soon) and one superior also getting promoten to elite.

when I'll get them to certain ranks and unlock skills I might do some chink tier stuff

I see mostly positive reviews, how is the MM? I played Navy Field and that was terrible.

>>125768272

The MM is +/- 1. You will only see ships a tier higher or lower than you. Unless you divison with someone higher. Also to prevent fail divisions, you cant division with a ship more than 2 tiers apart.

>>125769223
That sounds nice. I tried to read the negative reviews but half of them are autists whining that the game is too fast and not as boring as WOWS.

>>125757496

If you want to be a good scout. Play a DD. Then equip evety scouting captain and the rangefinder. You get assist damage for every point of damage done to enemies you have spotted

>>125769530

Well yes the game is much faster. Its a more arcadey skill based game that requires you to know the mechanics. The graphics are meh but loom decent on the highest setting.

Also dont listen to bad players who cry about needing to sit still to get perfect aim. Those are bad players who I often kill when they sit still in BB or CA.

Why did Medic get buffed this update? He's already indisputably the most powerful, influential class in the game. Why give him even more health regeneration, Uber build, and healing power?

And this is coming from a fucking Medic main

yes i know this is the wrong general but seriously

>>125770495

Maybe not enough people play medic? When I randomly play I notice barely anyone plays them.

>>125770954
there's at least one or two in every pub game already, they're the go-to class for pro players' girlfriends. Play rate isn't really a problem for it.

all HL and 6s games always have 1 Medic and class limits prevent them from having more, but they would if they could.

>>125771310

Never noticed it. I only pubstomp nowadays.

Ah fuck, even on minimum it runs as shit as WOWS on minimum.

Too bad this is just a faster WOWS with the same terrible gameplay and torpedo cancer spam.

t6 DD here, ask your questions. Ranked top2 for a day of VIP before, when Fubuki was awailable for ranking. That week I also got 20 battles x2 at the end of the week.
Atlanta is also pretty sweet.

>>125775995

Yeah. At leasy the allows for alt tabbing easily.
>>125777525
Then why are you here? Considering torpedos are limited and you can't actually spam them shows you don't even play.

>>125778212

What nation of DD are you at? My friend says the British DDs are really good.

>>125778437
Japs, Fubuki is OP as all hell, can take out CLs with guns easily(apart from Atlanta), US DDs only get any comparable guns at Porter. It kinda feels like it went downhill from there, since Shiratsuyu and Hatsuharu are historically cheaper Fubukis having 1 less gun and slower speed, Asashio feels better than Benson by what I've seen though.
I wonder what Brit DDs are good for, given they dont have outstanding speed and 4x1 just doesn't cut it firepower-wise.

>>125779097

Yuudaachi premium when? I want to poi

>>125779484
No extra firepower for her in this game, she would be one useless poi.

What's the best way to aim torpedoes? Shooting them in the path of other botes or just fanning them?

>>125727870
T4 RJ, but got burnt out yesterday grinding, so on a break right now while I'm playing Chrono Trigger.

>>125782925
Either in front of the ship, or just random, best option is enemies just outside of safe range, also shoot at BBs from long range if they are stationary - you can see that by their exhausts.

>>125782925

As this anon says
>>125785550

WOWS is a complete failure, why would someone want to make a game that's nearly the same? Do they hate money?

>>125795124
Steel Ocean came out over a year ago

>>125795124
If you're looking for a complete failure, try wowp

>>125778345
Exactly.
Torpedoes in SO are more challenging then just "Hurr speed up close and fire for no aim"
Nope, in SO torps have a minimum arming distance. This means they have to travel a bit to arm or else they'll be duds.

>>125727870
5, WoT and WoWS have nothing on the grind in this game.

At least I'm stockpiling free XP like crazy, gonna be at 100k by the end of the month.

>>125804135

Yeah the grind is up there. On the upside the captain grind is the longest. But at least your captains can be put on any class of ship and nation.
So really the ship grind isnt that bad.

>>125805493
I like grind and it's not a drawback to me that the ship grind is 4x-5x longer than the one in WoWS. But captains being worse doesn't really make it short, it just makes it so there's something even longer.

Captains can't even be referred to as grind because you can't grind them, playing 5 games is the same as playing 500 in one day.

Not sure it's even possible to get far with captains.
You just do your one mission for 90 merit, which comes out to 3.5 rolls per week, plus an extra 1.5 rolls per week if you're in a highranked fleet, plus idk, an extra 2 rolls per week if you do the monday 5v5 event? That comes out to 350 rolls per year if you do everything every day, which assuming 20 qualification per card will give you 7000 per year. It takes 1000 to get a 3star guy to 4star, no clue how much it takes to get from 4 to 5, but that probably means two 5star guys a year if you do this religiously.


When does the monday 5v5 take place? IIRC it says 3 AM, but is that east or west coast?

>>125806049

Well considering the prices the price of ships is like less than WoWs. Considering you can make 50-100k a game easily. The repair costs aren't bad either

>>125806676

Fleet battles gove huge amounts of merit. Winning 15 battles a week gives you 540 merit.

>>125806925
That comes out to 3 more rolls per week, bringing us up to 500 rolls and 10000 qualification per year. Weren't fleet battles only doable in a specific window of time?

>>125806708
Do we even have an idea of the hightier economy? Even at tier 5, I frequently get 4v4-6v6 shit.

>>125807284

The captain grind is supposed to be the longest grind.


And considering I have the only Midway on the server. The repair costs honestly aren't that bad. If I can I will post a picture of repair costs next time im in a high tier match.

The biggest thing I like about SO over WOWS is the sense of community. WOWS is simply play and grind, whereas SO, we have a fleet that regularly goes about and has fun together. In WOWS, even if you get that Yamato... who cares?

>>125807576
ohai anu

why do you play us carriers when dbs are useless, aren't IJN supposed to have better torps?

>>125807695


Both of those points are wrong. All IJN and British CVs are cheaper than US CVs because they overall are lacking compared to US. DBs aren't useless. Just situational. They so need to be buffed against things that arent CVs. Against flat chest decks they absolutely dick them. Everything else is meh.

>>125808179
I played all three t3 carriers and didn't notice much of a difference, which is why I was asking, curious how they compare even though I'm planning to grind them symmetrically, and I remembered someone mentioning that IJN has best tb, UK best db, and US being the golden middle for both.

>>125808715
T3 CVs suck to be honest. At tier 5/6/7 is the golden point. Higher tiers have AA becoming walls of flak.
If you actually compare the stats they are in fact "better" but only marginally. The trade off is usually less HP or something generally not worth it.

After arguing with some chink speaking half broken enlgish, I managed to understand that you can manually controll your sonar in a sub while submerged.


Can anyone confirm?

>>125861013
Can't confirm, but I'm no expert. I don't see anything in options/keybinds that relate to sonar. Pretty sure it's automatic, otherwise it'd probably not say "Sonar Freq((/minute))" in the description.

The scout mechanism of Steel Ocean for newbies
(Translated from Steel Ocean Forum on Baidu, Original Author:Ge Bi Lao Wang)
About the mechanism of Field of view, Hiding value addition,here to make a detailed explanation.

1.All ships have a natural Hiding Factor(HF). This factor is directly multiplied by the opposite side’s Theoretical Scout Range(TSR) and get the Actual Detected Range(ADR).
The calculating formula:ADR = TSR*(1-HF)
In case of Shiratsuyu(JP tier 5 DD), its HF is about 0.42. That is to say a Shiratsuyu staying still is detected by other side ships with the TSR of 5000m in 2900m distance.

2.Coating increases camouflage effect 300m. It is calculated before the HF.
The calculating formula:ADR adding coating = (TSR-300)*(1-HF)
In case of Shiratsuyu again, if it applys a coating, the ADR = (5000-300) x (1-0.42) =2700m

3.The Commanders’ Disguise Effect(CDE) acts on the HF.
The calculating formula:ADR = TSR*{1- (HF + CDE)}
With no coating Shiratsuyu as an example, if it has the Commander Felix Von Luckner(Elite, has the Enchanced Disguise II skill which increases disguise by 2%), its ADR is about 2600m.

4. According to the Moving speed, there is a Hiding Penalty of Moving (HPM)
The calculating formula:ADR = TSR*(1-HF+HPM)
The penalty from slow to fast, level 1 is 2%, level 2 is 4%, level 3 is 6%, level 4 is 8%.
The Shiratsuyu, if moves ahead in half speed, then the enemy with the TSR of 5000m will find you in the distance of 3100m.

Continued in next post.

83KB, 1280x720px

>>125865563

5.Hiding penalty of firing(HPF)
The calculating formula:ADR =TSR*(1-HF+HPF)
Different weapons hava different HPF.Take the destroyer as an example,
The main gun penalty (whether shooting in salvo or round , or how long the firing interval is) 10%.
Torpedo launching penalty 6%
Air defense weapon penalty 2%
In case of Shiratsuyu, when it fires motionless, the enemy with 5000m TSR will see it in 3400m.

6.Smoke bombs provide the HF decreases since 100% to 0% from the center to the edge of the smoke area.
Due to the speciality of smoke bombs, the calculation formula of firing and moving in smoke bombs will be different, Simple multiplication does not apply.

7.Commander Skill:
Cunning (Kimura Kazo,Mikasa Shotaro) and EMI Disruption(Kimura Kazo)’s effect is directly multiplied.
For example, an original (no accessories leveling up) Shiratsuyu loses detected distance 3400-2900=500m
When cunning is actived, loss of range is reduced by 15%, that is 500*(1-15%)=425m.
So the ADR after firing is changed from 3400 m to 3300m (However, no eggs....)

Survival instincts (Yakanama Arashi),Forthright (Yamamoto Yisoroku),Foresight(Kobayashi Yula) and the like initiative to increase the visual skills are calculated in accordance with the law of multiplication with the HF,Such as, after the activation of the Yakanama Arashi’s Survival instincts, the DDs’ general HF is 50%, so increase the range of 150 meters to see DDS. The BBs’ HF of 20%, you can increase the range of 240 meters to see this BB.

8.The Equipment (Range Finder)’s affect is added to TSR simply.

To sum up, the final calculating formula is ADR=(TSR+Enemy’s Range Finder+Enemy’s Commander Skill-coating)*(1-HF-HF from commanders+HPM+HPF)
TL:DR

>Equip all the sneaky shit you can
>If you wanna be super sneaky, sit still. Moving increases your detection range by your ship's speed
>Firing reduces your concealment by 15 percent temporarily.

Is it a bad idea to torp subs as a CVnt? They are slow and dangerous after all.

>>125866401


Not at all. Due to how the game flows, it is often smarter to torp subs than force your DDs to move out into the open to depth charge them.
Whenever possible, kill a sub so it doesn't threaten your team.

>>125866401
I think antisub is the main job of CV. Subs are hard to kill even for DDs, because getting close for a depth charge makes you an easy target for enemy artillery, while being exceptionally easy and safe prey for CVs because they barely even see your planes when submerged.

They're basically blinder, slower BBs with no way to fight back, and requiring less torps to kill.

True, but unless someone is providing sonar, they are completely invisible to your planes unless surfaced.

>>125867937

Funds are used for fleet boosters which can help with exp/credit gain. Pretty sure fleet exp and funds are also used to level up a fleet

Its very hard to be honest. So rewarding though with a good team. CVs are force multipliers in this game, a good team will allow you to work to your fullest. A bad team will be frustrating.

The game says straight out that CVs are the hardest class to play and they mean it. But at least they look pretty.

You are expected to do heavy damage, scout the entire enemy fleet and hunt down subs, all while dodging enemy CV strike attempts, random DDs trying to rush towards you and subs spotting for the enemy team while being invisible to your planes unless surfaced.
tfw kaga and akagi are in the game.

>>125895692

Ah yes, people who think you need to sit still to be good.

>>125897069
I love them. It makes playing most classes alot easier when you know exactly where a BB is because he hasn't moved for like 2 minutes. Unless they're on your team.

>>125897273

When I spot TBs goin for our spawn point and BBs STILL dont move or attempt to shoot them down. I die a little inside.

Does smoke increase your stealthiness rating or whatever or just make you invisible to enemies farther than some distance?

I'm curious because I'm wondering if firing/moving in smoke makes it easier to get spotted.

>>125899630

See the formula posted earlier.
Planes can reveal you in smoke if they are close enough

>>125900982
I could've sworn that formula had nothing in it about smoke when I read it on the steam forums, thanks.

yeah, Night battles can be fun, and horrible depending on team make-up, and how they play.

>>126028953

Thats fine. Dony get banned. Speaking of Taiho, in game the Taiho has a premium camo thats actually pretty cool looking.

Oh.. so it is Sunday.

Sunday's and Thursdays are 5v5 matches.

Tier restrictions are shown in picture.

But considering higher tiers tend to be 5v5 anyways... you end up just getting bonus rewards (Weekly mission for merit, for example.)

>>126031930

Yep. I don't think many people have tier 7 ships.

>>126032280
T4-7, but yeah I know. Just tossing the info out there.

I don't even play the game anymore, I just come here to talk to you folks.

>>126032927

Also I heard that the 5v5 has ELO and battlepower taken into consideration.

>>126033313

Okay...

Out of curiousity, anything in particular made you quit? (And if 'daring,' IGN?)

>Out of curiousity, anything in particular made you quit?

RC botes and the graphics.

>>126034118

The graphics I can understand. The RC cars feeling is only temporary when you get used to how fast paced the game is. The adjustment for WoWs players is too much for some.

You are welcome to stay and post however much you like. I hope we can rebuild a nice little community again.

>>126034396
^ puts it nicely. The RC feeling goes away I think.

But note: Once you get used to Steel Ocean, It'll make WoWS seem like a snail in comparison (at least for me.)

Which actually improved my DD play a bit when I tried out soviets.. but everything else, including CV's.. seems slowed down like one is on Fall out's "Jet"

>>126035279

I couldn't even imagine going back to WoWs. The slow would kill me. Wherever I am, I must go fast.
Shazbot!

>>126035826
Yeah.. I'd tried the Zuihou, horrid! the spread was wide enough to seemingly let a wyoming dodge all but 1 torp in what I would have previously called "A good run" from a TB squad. (And the 1 that hit was one of the inner torps too.)

And DD's existing to die was not fun..

>>126040659

I don't see how anyone can consider the CVs in WoWs playable after playing the Steel Ocean ones.

DDs are probably the 2nd most important member of your fleet. A good DD div'd with a good CV can win 90 percent of battles.

>>126041292
there's a reason CV's are pretty dead even after they got rid of that gamebreaking bug
they're just straight up badly designed for everyone involved

>>126041805

RNG AA bubbles and bad players.

I find it rather entertaining that houshou seems bad in both games.. Loads of suffering.

How do I git gud at this game? Every time I go BB I feel like I'm getting blasted before I even see anything

>>126063689
Have DD and CA/CL go first. Hang back and fire, since BBs have lots of range. Do not stop to fire. Do not go in a straight line if you can help it (sometimes you have to for the aim, but as soon as you fire, start ziggy-zagging. Makes you harder to hit.)

check your maximum range, orange circle on minimap
start clicking

>>126063689
at least as long as there's other bbs in the game, you should stick to playing as artillery

Has anyone here reached T9 anything?

Enjoy your >nogames Anu

I'm not sure if I should be happy about holidays.

Swarm of steambabbies will ruin most of my matches

>>126068897

Im at tier 10. Thats not Anu btw. I actuallu haven't been pushing for a high tier game. I'm trying to level IJN DDs.

>>126074661
Shieet m8.

I'm sitting at tier 8
But I dont think I need to go higher. I've got the ship I wanted to so I can only downtier MM for you :^)

>>126076069

Thanks. But its gonna be awhile for the population to catch up.
Thus why im refining my skill at lower tiers.

>>126076450
DDs are going to teach you most of the mechanics here.

You wont regret it.

Also what ship is your tier 10?

>>126076636

Midway of course. Server first.

>>126076668
wew
I'm kinda suprised we have two Midway Admirals here.

>>126076813

Uhh... we have only one. You are talking to him. Stop backing up into torpedo bombers
