They could do it fãm. Take away the silver coefficient and no option to mount camo and the weebs would still eat that shit up. And no one would have a good captain for a while unless they have played Myoko a lot. They could even make it prohibitively expensive to play..

If they gave away a Myoko I could see them giving away Takao, especially if they make the mission requirements t9+

Sup /wowsg/, I would like to share a method to aim at exact spot of a ship after gathering some 45 data from watching people punishing broadside ships

>Pic related
Multiply the corresponding multiplier on the F column to the shell travel time. The shell should land at [Multiplier * ShellTravelTime]. The multiplier is calculated by [Speed/12]

On a side note, the E column shows the multiplier according to the 20-knot aiming method.

Good job

>In short: Smoke deployment works different (reason may be serverload reduction) and the +3 sec rule make it a pain.

>With the (now again) available Smoke Circle mod you can test this yourself:
New Smoke Circles are only created if your ship ( the visibility checkpoint of the ship*) leaves the existing circle. This means you have to become detectable to create another smokecircle. A smokescreen, consiting of multiple circles, is now impossible without getting visible for at least 3+ secs for every circle, if you are close enough to be detected.

>Before 0.5.5 you were able to lay an overlapping smokescreen, consisting of multiple circles, if your ship traveled at about 8-12kn. You did not have to leave the cover of the first circle before the next one was created. Since you now have to leave the first circle, this is no longer possible.

>A Fletcher has a smoke deployment duration of 28secs. If you go full speed you will create 8 circles ( +2secs, every +4 secs, at 0.2secs)

> you leave your first circle after 4 secs, another circle pops up but you got detected again and your SA symbol blinks. 3 seconds after that blink you will be visible for another 3 secs.

Fact of the matter is...if this was the challenge this did not need 4 months to fucking create.

The whole reason that faggot Niko said its taking time was to make sure they got the mission requirements right....That is a complete horse shit lie because this is about as basic as it comes.

i wanted them easier too as I almost didnt get ARP Myoko.

But jesus christ the missions for the flag and other ships like Emden and Tachibana had more creativity than the garbage that they put out.

>The whole reason that faggot Niko said its taking time was to make sure they got the mission requirements right
No, the whole reason for being late was that WG simply didn't want the event to collide with other important stuff. The important stuff being selling Saipans and Texases to NA.

It should've been pretty obvious niko said was just putting up excuses, since straight out admitting "yeah, we're postponing this so you can focus on buying our new premium ships" would be a bad and stupid move. You're silly for actually expecting anything more elaborated than this event.

Are the ARP ships "premium" as in you get bonus credits/xp ?

>>144646393
Although, it would have been better if it didn't take 4 months to do

It still doesn't change the fact that this is better than the old missions

>>144646626
Yup but no captain switching

>>144646626
No. They're literally reskinned animebotes.

>>144646549
That is a flat out fucking bullshit excuse if you think that is the reason.

THE SAIPAN AND TEXAS DIDNT EVEN DROP UNTIL THE LAST 2 MONTHS.

We had all of March and most of April before Saipan was released. Texas came in May.

Overlapping sales with events makes MORE sense because you have a higher influx of people playing ergo more likely to pay for a ship because it might help them with a mission in the event.

The sheer stupidity that says people can only focus on 1 thing in the game is not a sound business model at all.

>>144646626
No. They don't get extra credits/XP

You can switch captains with other ARP ships for no penalty. That's the only premium-like gimmick they get.

>>144646549

Or you know that maybe its proverbial compensation for the missions being so fucking late that they're so easy to finish this time. You might need a new hobby

Saipan was released behind schedule because they couldn't balance it properly. We still had that whole "warm up" shitty month-long CV event. And WG was not gonna change their plans last minute just because of a little 2-week delay.
>Overlapping sales with events makes MORE sense because you have a higher influx of people playing ergo more likely to pay for a ship because it might help them with a mission in the event.
These kind of games are known to target whales primarily. The influx of people coming for the ARP ships is temporary, as shown by the previous event. These people are not very likely to buy as many premium ships.
But whales who are starved of shiny new ships to get are more likely to gobble up any new premiums. Less so if they've just gotten 2 new event ships.

Whether or not WG's marketing tactics are retarded, that's a different story. I'm just outlining possible reasons for what they keep pulling these moves.
>>144646913
Maybe. But at best, we were not going to get anything more than a carbon copy of the previous event requirements. Thinking WG delayed the event 4 months just because they were "thinking how to make it right" is stupid. They delayed it because that's what the selling strategy outlined.

>>144648448
>But whales who are starved of shiny new ships to get are more likely to gobble up any new premiums. Less so if they've just gotten 2 new event ships.

That is completely false as nobody gives a fuck about getting a carbon copy of the Kongo as some sort of deterrent to buying say a unique premium ship.

WG released the Indy but it is not something that is truly special by any means.

That is primarily the reason why I switched to WoT because the amount of premium tanks that are unique to the game and not just carbon copies is higher.

If you look at the most unique premiums in the game:

Tirpitz
Warspite
Atlanta
Atago
Blyskawica


The sheer amount of unique premiums in WoWS is garbage.

WoWS literally released 2 Minekaze clones for christ sake because they couldnt be bothered with finding a unique jap DD to be rendered.

Their selling strategy is retarded. Delaying a fun event that increased server population for the sake of selling shitty premiums is a horrible reason and the person should be fired for such gross incompetence.

>>144645208
> Gunnary problem
huh. I would like to read more on that

>>144649174
>Game that has been out for like 6 years has more unique premiums than game that hasnt been out for a year

shiiiiiiiiieeeeeeet

>>144649174
The sheer irony of it is that those 'Minekaze clones' are not even really Minekaze clones.

Yes, they are functionally the same ship, but they use a seperate, different model.
They did simply reskin it to make the Fujin and Kamikaze out of it, but they didn't save money like they did with the chingchong DDs where they actually used a straight up reskin.

This is some next level reverse trolling. Or simple idiocy.

>>144650127
oh my god are u serious?

they function in the exact same role.

Changing some minor details on the ships is not an entire different model

That is like saying I took a design and added something to it. The DNA of the ships is about 99% similar.

The whole 6 month to model ship meme is a complete fucking lie.

>>144650428
>Changing some minor details on the ships is not an entire different model

The basic hull shape is the same.
But the superstructure is different, the arrangement of torpedoes, guns, AA is different
The depth charges, hatches, etc. are all different.

The differences are like those between the old Furutaka and the new C Hull.


I'm not saying they need six months to make this model.
I'm just pointing out that they were too fucking dumb to simply use a cheap reskin for a publicity giveaway, they had somebody sit down and make this model.

>>144649174
Dont forget all the Omaha clones)))))

though in their defense, it probably takes a lot more work to model a ship than it does for a tank

Greg calm down
Take a deep breath

>>144649174
Tirpitz, Atago, Warspite are all going to have an equivalent silver ship.

>>144652176

>WoWS literally released 2 Minekaze clones for christ sake because they couldnt be bothered with finding a unique jap DD to be rendered

They could've released the Akatsuki as a T7 or 8 premium and I'd buy it.

>>144652649
??????????????????

>>144650428
WoWS has way more prems in game than World of Tanks ever did "post release"

A lot of WoT premiums are reskins mind you. T34 was literally a tech tree tank, Type 59/T-34-3, Panther 8,8, Jagdtiger 8,8, Churchill III, Matilda IV, the Berlin tanks, I mean Jesus fuck anon I could go on and on here.

This is a wargaming title and at the end of the day they need to make money. If you don't like that then go fuck off and play Fallout or something lmao

>>144652813
there is no t8 regular cruiser on the jap line that is similar to the atago.

we arent getting the takao you shitposter.

Who cares about the number of premiums out so long as the non-prem botes are also viable? Hell, when we talk about ships that grossly overperform the competitors, we're usually not talking about premium ships.

Back before the Mogami was a tier 8, and before the Myoukou was even in the game, the Takao was the tier 8 IJN cruiser. They took it down for a while, gave it a name swap, and made it a premium. The Atago in shop is actually the Takao and uses the exact same model. The regular Takao is guaranteed to come back at some point when they expand the lines.

>>144643510
It does make sense though to a point for gameplay, to make another circle you have to move out of smoke.

Though in RL if you make a shitload of smoke it will spread out and go everywhere anyways.

Literally says '-20% chance to the risk of magazine detonation'.

And it actually works, it increases your magatine's hitpoints by 20%.

It was bugged once and actually increased the detonation chance becasue it reduced the magazine's hitpoints, but they fixed it.

Not sure about high tier meta but he had a div mate smoke him and he was shooting at them while they can't see him. Currently at t5 but if this faggotry is all people do in high tiers, then fuck this.

Agreed. Heck, going with natural progression, it can go after Omaha...

6. Either move Atlanta from premium to this line, or the Brooklyn. Frankly Atlanta would probably be better as a tier 6 for balance.
7, Brooklyn if Atlanta gets moved, or if not, then the other St. Louis class. I mean, it wouldn't confuse people too much if there's 2 St. Louis, would it? Or just call it Helena for all I care.
8. Cleveland.
9. Fargo.
10. Worcester.

>>144667020
Pensacola at T6 would make Aoba obsolete.

What Pensacola (T7) needs is her C hull upgrade, which would reduce her detection range to Indianapolis levels.

>>144667304
Indianapolis's detection range is worse than Pensacola

>>144666479
Ya the DPS it would put out with 12 dual purpose 6in guns would be incredible, I can't wait for them to implement the CL line in 3-4 years :)))

These teams have hit a new low. I beat both a Fuso and a New Mexico in a straight up 1v2, nailed some cruisers and a DD, and these fuckers still couldn't secure a win because an Aoba got stuck on an island.

>>144667304
The thing is that Pensacola really is the first USN cruiser to mount the 203s, IE our first real CA.

Even the Northampton was a design made to improve upon the original Pensacola design, so it would have to be a tier up.

The only option is moving the CL/CA split up a tier to branching off at T7 instead of 6.

Recommissioning of the Iowa class BB's when?

Very soon.

>>144667345
I don't remember the Indianapolis detection range, but it's not more than her own guns range. And certainly not 15km.
>>144667762
They could always "find" a prototype, like they did with Phoenix/Omaha, with only 3x2 guns.
Or you'd have to do something weird and very uncomfortable like moving Aoba down to T5, with furutaka parallel to it on the second IJN cruiser line.

At any rate, I wouldn't be worried about it. Won't happen anytime soon.

>>144667961
Never.

The USn said in the 80s taht they would prefeer new contruction becaseu it would be cheaper to maintain, and after they were deactivated again in the 90s it became obvious that even reactivation would be more expensive than new construction.

True, it'll be a while till we have to worry.

In my experience though, Aoba's been a very good boat, even against higher tiers like Pensacola. Maybe with extra buffs like higher concealment to counter Pepsi's ungodly large detection and the two would make rather good clashes of naval design.

Yes and? She was already nearing 40 years old at that point.

As long as the hull is clean and the machinery is properly maintained, its not like shes going to go any slower.

Especially considering just how much less she weighs now than in 1945, when she also was pulling about 33.2 knots chasing Japanese destroyers.

I watched quite a number of ranked NA games through streams, and oh god that's appalling. I had my hunch that NA server is, by far, the lowest one by average players' skill, but what I've seen pretty much confirms it.

>rank10, which is the lowest rank where you may qualify as a human being, because lower ranks are attainable even by untrained monkeys and probably even amoebas
>BBs autistically shooting from max range for the entire battle (incidentally, that includes F22xRaptor)
>people just content to hang out on a single cap while losing by points, not doing anything *at all* to win
>DDs such as Kievs trying to torp dive all the time
>worst thing at all, sometimes they even succeed, because apparently people are too scared to hit a DD 5km away

The sheer level of incompetence is overwhelming.

>>144674109
in ranked you pretty much have the best of both worlds
>good players trying to reap rewards
>shit players trying to get carried and or fail their way to rewards

>>144674109
idk i think the top rank players on NA is better than top rank players on EU when a new season starts

but that's because you have two of the best clans on NA constantly trying to be in the same battle

>>144674338
In RU (where I'm playing), at this moment you can expect at least 80% players in each ranked battle at rank 10 and above to actually know what they're doing, "dos and don'ts" of their ships, what they must do to win, and general idea on how to cooperate to do so.

That % will dwindle over time, of course, because more and more monkeys will be brought to higher ranks by sheer luck. But currently it's pretty high.

>>144674590
From my observations, it seems that average skill level by server goes about like this (it goes without saying that I'm probably biased):

RU >> ASIA >> EU >>>>>> NA

>>144674779
>That % will dwindle over time, of course, because more and more monkeys will be brought to higher ranks by sheer luck. But currently it's pretty high.
More like more and more of those good players will rank out and be replaced by shit players.

High ranks is hell before that happens. Everyone knows what theyre doing so you influence on a match is reduced as you can't effectively club the seals in a match since everyone is an adult male elephant seal with a chip on shit finshoulder.

There's sharp difference between blindly pushing into 3 Mahans sitting in their smoke cubbyholes, constantly staying at around max torp range (~9-10km) from enemy DDs, pushing a cap while most DDs are on the other cap(s), and trying to snipe from 20km for 10-something minutes.

First one is lunacy, 2nd and 3rd is what reasonable human being driving a BB should do, 4th is lunacy again.

I actually stopped clubbing t5.
Last I checked I had the highest Zuiho winrate in the world at almost 200 battles.
I clubbed too hard and kinda feel bad.
I'm working on t6 and one of the highest winrates for Ryujo on NA.
I'm only 2nd place at the moment. Only a few wins until highest on NA.
Will work on t7 after that.
I haven't played in a few days actually. The Dreadnaught CBT is pretty fun.

bullying entire squadrons in seconds with strafe is fun and satisfying

especially when the player is groceriesman1 and he just flies his planes in straight lines :^)))))

>>144706690

LISTEN HERE SHITLER.
That's what you are supposed to do to bad CV players.
Against good ones though, you will be outclassed.

>>144707030

You can just bully CVs by speccing for AA.
