>>126857471
B with AFT is the best combination and compares reasonably with Murmansk. You get roughly the same range, 2 extra guns and 2 extra sets of torpedo tubes for less torp range and less AA.

>>126857471
B all day erryday

How do I git gud at cruisers or battleships?
How do I decide which one I actually want to use? All I know is I don't like sailing CVs and DDs are too varied in how games go ranging from being the first ship sunk of the match by detonation to chucking torpedoes left and right getting a 1:1 ratio of Devastating Strike to ships sunk

>>126858821
1) Never show a flat broadside, only angled
2) git gud at aiming or use fun assist :^)
3) shoot the other ships

I've notice people seem to fire randomly at the beginning of a match even though there are no enemy ships spotted. Are they just retarded or am I missing something?

Normal spotting plus target aquisition mod comes out to about the same as torpedo-spotting was without the mod with the lowered torp detection ranges of the recent patch.

>>126855423
They probably do. Then again, what cruiser driver would actually take sonar instead of the AA barrage?

>In 1952 letters and family pictures were dropped from aircraft urging them to surrender, but the three soldiers concluded that this was a trick

those guys either had a kind of paranoia or they had a happy time living together bounded by the strong male friendship

really did they truly believe that the allied forces wanted to capture them and to weaken japan so much so their spies stole their family pictures and stuff and dropped them from the planes

>On May 7, 1954, Shimada was killed by a shot fired by a search party looking for the men

*bah-bah!*
guise, i found one!

now, it suddenly begins to make sense why they didn't surrender

>On February 20, 1974, Onoda met a Japanese man, Norio Suzuki, who was traveling around the world, looking for "Lieutenant Onoda, a panda, and the Abominable Snowman, in that order".[4] Suzuki found Onoda after four days of searching.

but did he find a panda and the abominable snowman later?

>Onoda and Suzuki became friends, but Onoda still refused to surrender, saying that he was waiting for orders from a superior officer. Suzuki returned to Japan with photographs of himself and Onoda as proof of their encounter, and the Japanese government located Onoda's commanding officer, Major Yoshimi Taniguchi, who had since become a bookseller. He flew to Lubang where on March 9, 1974, he finally met with Onoda and fulfilled the promise made in 1944, "Whatever happens, we'll come back for you,"

sempai noticed me!

>Onoda was thus properly relieved of duty, and he surrendered. He turned over his sword, his functioning Arisaka Type 99 rifle, 500 rounds of ammunition and several hand grenades, as well as the dagger his mother had given him in 1944 to kill himself with if he was captured.

- son, here are warm socks so you wouldn't catch cold, here is a dagger to kill yourself so you wouldn't be captured....

If you're a BB, then Destroyers and Carriers are the most broken and need to be nerfed, for example.

>>126864274
CV's are broken in general, probably in the way you're not looking for

But yeah, our NC was stupid, but at least I killed a Montana from full health.

>>126864109
Nah, it was a legit massive charge against marines.

IIRC literally the entire island garrison was waiting for the majority of the US forces to land and then went all at once before they made themselves at home.

>>126864107
They'd basically been fed a steady diet of 'white men are the devil' for their entire lives at that point, so it's not surprising that there were so many japs who would never surrender.
>Suzuki returned to Japan with photographs of himself and Onoda as proof of their encounter, and the Japanese government located Onoda's commanding officer, Major Yoshimi Taniguchi, who had since become a bookseller. He flew to Lubang where on March 9, 1974, he finally met with Onoda and fulfilled the promise made in 1944, "Whatever happens, we'll come back for you,"
That officer is a breddy gud guy.
It's also kind of cool because it means the IJA still had people actively serving in it until the 70's. What a time to be alive.

IJN DDs, the high tiers one

Torps acquired at a shorter distance = more likely to get a hit or two, also BBs' nightmare if BB captain does not have at least Target Acquisition mod

>>126865431
Who probably sell manga too

>>126865569
wait is target acquisition the thing that determines the range you spot torpedoes?
what the fuck

>>126865246
btw what's also amusing, the japanese soldier which didn't surrender for the longest (several months longer than onoda) was another guy who wasn't a japanese at all, he was a taiwanese so japan didn't care much of him, also he didn't burn rice and shoot police like onoda with his guys, he simply hid and surrendered as soon as was discovered, and then refused to go to japan, lol, went to taiwan instead

LOL.

Also, nothing special about it. Older research gets invalidated by newer research all the time. Especially when the older one relies on incomplete and/or unreliable sources. (Like how you will not find any menion of a japanese 18in gun in any wartime USN reports because the USN plain didn't know about the armament of the Yamatos until after the war.)

>>126872495
Nah, the guys a shitter and actually seems to trust the terrible fucking excuse that is Japanese after-action reports.

They literally read "we engaged an enemy ship along with so and so's five other ships. Eventually it sank"

90% of the time they don't actually list estimated damage dealt to the enemy, or even when firing commenced and ended. I've read the article multiple times, and theres even more guesswork involved in it than the currently accepted version of how it went down.

>>126872808
Exept no, no he does not. He uses *everyones* logs and posits them against each other. And no, logs on both sides are way, way more detailed than that. Numbers of hits scored/received, timestamps on each salvo fired by the battleships etc. "The article"? Dude, a full-scale analysis of all the reports of an action like Samar isn't something you write an article about, it's something you write a *book* about.

Lundgren and Nimble Books published The World Wonder'd over a year ago and its analysis has so far stood up to all scrutiny levelled on it by actual, professional naval historians. You know, people who have way more of an idea about this than you or me and who have way more time to spend on it because it's how they actually make a living.

Why do BB players sit taking potshots at 24km?

makes the game boring as fuck.

I'm sitting there rudder tanking the whole fucking enemy team in a cruiser and they still sit there at max range missing every shot. What the fuck is there to be scared of?!

Larger divisions when?

>>126872808
And hey, as far as the actual experts are right now concerned, Lundgren's account *is* the currently accepted version of how it went down.

>>126884313
what's the point to play mutsuki as a worse minekaze unless you absolutely need to or it's safe enough

>>126882771
well you just launch a lot of torps preferably in an area with several ships

oh, i meant 6/6 from like 9+ km

>>126884681
Because it's detection range is normally 6.2km, so you have a big buffer on where to fire torps?

Because, BBs do so much damage at T9-10 that anyone can get insta-gibbed if they aren't constantly on their toes and keeping their citadel from being exposed. And dying in a T10 ship sucks ass because of the repair bills. I lost half a million credits in my last game using my Montana because a Shima detonated me with one torp hit before I had the chance to do anything. I decided to be brave and try to push for a flag but in a BB that almost always means you'll be easy torp food.

>play steel ocean because free repulse
>game crashes anytime any ship is killed

there's nobody to play with thats the problem

>open up the channel
>maybe 4 people in there if you're lucky
>they're all AFK

i'm done playing solo, i just can't do it anymore yet nobody ever wants to play on NA

guess ill pick up WoT or something

>>126900974
I'll have to verify, since it's always when a ship dies there's something wrong with that effect, but I don't care enough right now. I got the repulse for whenever I ever want to play steel ocean and that's good enough.

Guess I'll pick up WoWs or something

But it does.

>>126901616
Like what

Those consumables nobody uses and don't have much of an effect anyway?

That can happen sometimes with misc steam games when first installed (sometimes Steam's fault with UI/overlay, other times the game itself has something off during initial installed. Restarting steam can sometimes fix overlay issues.)

That's how I see it. A 'safety net' should WoWS ever go full WoWP mode, you'll at least have a free T5 prem in another game.

>>126901675
>premium consumables reload in half the time and give one extra charge

yeah sure "nobody uses them"

>>126901768
You know what, I can live with DDs recharging their smoke in 3 minutes instead of 4

Do you think it's in any way comparable to gold ammo?

>>126901978

I hate hunting DD now

I hate speedsluts

Literally perma-lost both my DD turrets in the first volley to hit me

Good old RNG... Did you get to torp anybody?

That sort of thing actually happened once when I was using the Mut in CBT... a single volley knocked out the guns, and torps while doing almost no damage.

I thought people already knew this? You can see the diminishing return for killing multiple targets yourself.

>>126906912
I knew it since WoT but I didn't think it was this bad.

>>126907027
It was pretty bad since the CBT. To get 3k exp, you need kill off half or more of the enemy team by yourself, but I don't know how it is now with the new capping system.

so whats the new meta ?
Stop shooting after killing the first enemy ?

Which is why I worded it the way I did.
The actual organization had been gone for decades but it still had people actively serving it anyway.
