it broadcasts to anybody in game/port in the mini-chatbox above chat.

Like you might see in other games, to advertise fleets, or channels, or whatever.
Doesn't often get used.

>>152195243
everyone sees it, even people in battle, and it stays there for a while. For example you want to promote your fleet, or you are a Russian and really want to have everyone see )))))

>>152195243
it allows everyone to see the message, even if in a match. I've only seen one person use it, he was plugging his youtube channel

>>152255973
Depends when you queue.Most of the time when you pick high tier, people will gladly join up since they have to level them too.

Asking in chat is a good way too, especialy when queueing as CV.

>>152255973
Around 50 in queue right now :)
Most of the time it's 15~20
Not dead, but certain on the empty side

>>152255973
T8+ are highly populares in yuro time, and in NA time they are populares on demand (once one or two guys enter queue, the other high Tier lurkers join).

At los and mid tiers you'll have no problems unleds you queue CV/SS (the MM always tries to match versus another CV/SS)

>The MM always tries to match versus another CV/SS
True, but it does not always require it. there is no '1-1 locked MM'. So you could wind up with matches where they have no CV, or of course the other way around.. but the CV in that case, unless squadded, spent a bit of time to get in there.

>>152266092
As you've already noticed.. you get through the first few tiers very quickly. Which is nice for some things (Events at T5, or FB's T2-4, faster credit gains.) but horrible if you are a relatively unnoticed game trying to hold onto new players that arrive.

Since they'd download, launch, want to play something and then wait for a long time (2,5,10 minutes depending) because everybody else gets through those matches so quickly, and then usually just Free-XP's past future T1-2 ships when they swap lines.

So new players had it rough (Veteran players would often post "looking for more T1-2" to just get them matches.) and often dropped the game (See the hemorrhaging steamchart).

This patch returned AI to fix that a bit. And sure they aren't the smartest, but they exist to speed T1-3, and provide practice dummies effectively. Since the patch numbers have been rising significantly.

>>152269019
>True, but it does not always require it. there is no '1-1 locked MM'. So you could wind up with matches where they have no CV, or of course the other way around.. but the CV in that case, unless squadded, spent a bit of time to get in there.

That only happens from T7+ IIRC.
Remember certain RJ's 25 mins queue.

>scenario mode
Is it fun?

>>152270550
IF you can get into a match. I think so.

Effectively a large team death match where everyone has no commanders and has premium consumables, and infinite lives.

US tries to kill AI-controlled Transport ships before they reach beach-heads.

Japan exists to slaughter everything while under the guise of defending their Transport ships

But it provides a neat look at mid tier ships you might not yet have. Pick your ship type, queue up, and hope to get 28 or so other players.

When the game population picks up more could see it being filled faster and therefore more
>Fun.

Rewards are Free XP, and there is no weekly mission to complete for it like other events.

>>152271182

So I just started this yesterday. Is there a trick to playing carriers because it seems utterly impossible to hit anything.

>>152336208
Do not do this to yourself. Get a feel for the game with BBs and DDs before you ty to play CV (or sub).

>>152336208
if you're using dive bomber, they're the hardest to make work, torpedo bombers just need to be led well. Try this: send one squad fighters, and one torpedo bombers close by. the fighters will spot the taarget and serve as a decoy. The Torpedo bombers then bomb him to hell. Most players focus only on the fighters and don't see the torpedo bombers until it's too late. similarly if you save CV watch out for decoy groups.

>>152336365
He's right, get a feel for how fast ships can accelerate and turn, and you'll be able to predict their movements better.

For a BB, Pressure cycle driver, custom hoist, and big fire control radar is a good equipment setup, no?

>>152338098
I mean that's what I've been using.

I believe most 'when you hit ships' abilities trigger from a dead boat, though could be incorrect.

so EU set starts in about 20 minutes.
Then in a few hours the NA set starts.

Depending on how fleet numbers are we focus on one set over the other usually. EU's worked for most of us on Tuesdays.

Use smoke wisely, change speed/bearing frequently so BB can't hit you often. If you go into a artillery war with BB/BCs or even CAs you lose, hard.

>>152393913
When you get pelted by shells, that keeps you from being able to accurately fire. if you keep taking hits, you can't kill things, and you lose.
IF you can accurately fire (with the active especially) you will melt ships.

It can make great use of its smokes and the guns really just kill anything if given the chance, but accuracy is horrid if you are hit.

Kind of like Ajin (If you have seen the show), how they keep shooting(killing) him so he can't kill them.
If you got a group together and just kept up constant hits, you would seriously tick off the Helena.

I would just sit on your qualification points for now.
Or upgrade Luckner to elite for the bonus disguise.

But qual is a rarity and should be saved for things you are sure of/better-commanders.

You get some pretty great commanders from reaching T5 in each ship type. Cruiser/Destroyer/Battleship/Carrier/SS
if you look at the Events tab.
DD provides Arashi, which is a great 'when in comms seat' commander. Cruisers is Macmillan with a "10% damage when in the gunner seat". And if you claimed Repulse you already have Linderman.

>>152409159
Also you might want to play with veterans. They can cover any mistake you make while giving you knowledge of The game both actively and passively.

Another new player here. Is there an explanation about how commanders work? I got like five of them now in the main port menu. They seem to be following me with every ship I take out, because they're all leveling up. More than that I haven't figured out yet.

>>152411751
Yeah, this isn't like WoT. You can use same commander on multiple ships.

>>152411751
>>152412231
And you can freely move them between ships and positions, only the captain skills are tied to a specific position.

Each seat provides bonuses based on the commanders BattlePower (Number under their picture) to the seat they are in. The higher the BP, the better the bonuses. Higher the rank(stars) the more BP they'll have at level 10 (And max BP at lvl 10 varies from commander to commander.)
>Remembers already wrote it out for a pic.
Pic attached.

And the actual name's Command-Power I believe, but we won't be going 'my commander has 20CP.. how much CP do you have' so... it is BP!

There are also vid guides, but that guy's a Shitty Mad Saint of the CatHerders and could do better at making them, and they are too long, and need to be condensed

Good night comrade.

>>152412231
>>152412386
>>152414723

Do I have to assign a commander to a specific ship and then change them? Or is it all automatic? They're leveling up but I haven't done anything.

>>152417385
It is individual per ship, but when you first purchase a ship, your first few commanders earned are automatically tossed into the ship.

I for example had gotten a T2 sub first, then DD, then BB, so those were the first commanders I obtained.(Event reward for T2's)
So any new ship I buy starts with "you can dive faster" for its active if I do not catch it and swap out commanders.

You can also set up preset 'squads' that you then can buy a ship, click 'squad' and select which you want to use on the given ship.

Still not sure I get it.

I see five different commanders on the left side of the UI. Captain, gunner, etc.

I've now got several tier II ships.

The most recent ship, when I click on that, I see three of the commanders highlighted. This means they're assigned to that ship?

When I click on the others the commanders change places, and different commanders are highlighted.

>>152419847
Screenshot it senpai.

Another newfag here; at what tier does it become worthwhile/economical to buy equipment and consumables for ships? And do the bots use player names? I'm having a hard time telling who is real in matches if they are not spamming chat or trying to TK people at the beginning of a match.

Well, from T3 onwards pretty much everyone runs consumables. Smokes and repair kits are pretty cheap and quite useful.
Dont bother with premium ones yet, the game will throw a lot of them at you anyway but save them for when you get a hang of the mechanics.
As for equipment, it can be expensive early on so you might want to pick up a transferable one like the rangefinder at around T4.

>>152423114
>Like setting manually The angle of The cannons?
Exactly. That shit is mad fun and brings reals depth to the engagements. You can also reduce random shell spread and actualy make the guns accurate because you have to git gud at knowing your angles and predicting the targets course.
That doesn't mean it has to that slow paced, however. Navyfield wasn't realy.

>>152423585
Well, we have things like shell travel time here (your post really makes me think you are mainly talking about BBs). As a BB you have to literally predict the future to hit targets, especially at max range. Some anons have said that the gameplay of SO is simillar to NF2 so you should play SO before outting it, and Im drunk too so maybe Im not making much sense.

It would probably be some DCS-tier shit if there is one.

>>152425915
You can't really make a DCS-like bote game, the sheer ammount of people required to make a bote do bote things is too high, that's why gaijin decided to go with PT boats. Maybe a game where 10+ people use a single bote might do that. Maybe.

>>152426150
Yeah ok, that makes sense but it might be entertaining to play a game where you are the fire control officer, or a crewman in one of the main turrets, shit like that.

I dunno. I'm funposting to try and get over how salty I am about pubbie bellend cunts.

>>152426150
I agree that it takes a lot of people and a ballistics computer to fire guns properly. I don't think that's the reason Gaijin went with PT boats.

You could have had a good game and still had "point and click" style shooting.

I mean shit, have you seen the gameplay video released today? I don't think the whole Robotron on water is exactly realistic.

There are people buying it no doubt. I used to spend a lot of times on the forums. I dropped it like a hot potato when I heard the news the other week. I've been literally sick to my stomach.

That said, the reveal of the naval game should have been met with huge excitement and applause. The hate that they're getting I'm sure is the opposite of what they wanted. What I don't know is if they're surprised or not. I feel like they're close to just giving the game the shaft and walking away.
