The moment you hit bongo is instant gratification though. And it gets even better with upgrades.
>>
>>165919820
Bongo is a decent bote and certainly better than the previous ones, but even she has been a little underwhelming lately, probably because of the MM changes compared to back when she got to be a bully more often.
Meanwhile the Fuso is probably one of my favorite ships at the moment, even with the shoddy T6 MM. She feels like she's where the line really takes off and becomes great, I guess because she's amazing in the rare cases that she's top tier while also being able to punch up when she's mid/bottom tier decently well too.
>>

Manual AA or CE on my Arizona/Texas captain? MAA doesn't do anything for Texas but it feels like it might really help out Arizona's anemic AA by at least bringing her long range AA dps up to 116 at least, on the other hand 12km concealment seems pretty good too.

>>165925529
Doesn't really work for that because they're not necessarily going to target you and you have no way of telling if it's them or some other BBs/CAs behind them that are targeting you or not.

I like to sneak around with my NC/Iowa for flanks. I sometimes get detected for a few seconds.

Priority target would tell me if somebody noticed me long enough to get a target lock but not enough to fire at me.

That knowledge would help me relocate as needed.

>>165925940
>12km concealment on BB

It feels dirty. You literally have Cruiser detection range and with your speed, you can get to locations fast enough to catch enemies at very vulnerable positions.

I can't count how many times I've 1-salvo deleted broadside BBs and CAs just because they never expected me to be there.

Before you either had a choice, use AP on broadside targets to do direct penetration damage, or indirect damage via starting fires with HE.
Now HE is able to damage BBs and still start an infinite number of fires.

This skill along with RDF is really to appeal to low-skill players.

I've only played a few games with it in DDs so far by PT has been more useful than I was expecting, I've been able to stay spotted but just duck in and out of cover and shit just because I always knew exactly how much danger I was in. On the surface it seems like it's just something a good player should be paying attention to anyway, and I always tried to keep track of who had their guns on me, but having a real-time update of exactly how many people are targeting you at all times might be better than people are giving it credit for.

Yes, I've taken it on my DD but so far I haven't run into any others that have, which is what I was expecting. Though I'm testing RFP on one of my US DDs and old BFT+SE on another so they might be doing something similar.

Inertia fuse high explosive. Skill in 4-th line IIRC.. Makes your HE penetrate more armor.

>>165927879
Do you think it has changed the game for better or worse in the games you have encountered it?

Is it a must have for US/Gunboat DDs?
>>
>>165928015
Basically it lets a some calibers of HE now penetrate things that they couldn't before.
100mm guns can now pen BB all BB superstructures and other high tier DD hulls
127/128mm guns can now pen T7 and below BB plating (bow and stern as well as a lot of the decks)
152/155mm guns can now pen high tier BB plating
>>
>>165928112
It's really too hard to tell so far, especially since nobody has made any use of it against me.
But I will say that on the RFP + PT build I've been running, you get a bunch of info at all times for doing nothing, especially around contesting caps, and I really don't like that.

Part of me really wants to boycott the Radio Positioning Finder skill out of principle since it symbolizes Wargaming's poor sense of game direction. However, at the same time, I'm worried that I might end up being disadvantaged if I choose not to pick it, and it later becomes some sort of new "must get" meta.

What would be plausible instances where RPF provides strong benefit for particular classes of ships? And would the skill be more useful in competitive, ranked or random modes?

>>165929393
DDs and Cruisers are where it's going to be most useful, don't bother with it on BBs because the IJN DDs that stay stealthed are really not a threat these days, and the RU and US DDs that are actually threatening are gunbotes so you're going to end up knowing where they are anyway even if you might not be able to always target them. Outside of maybe the Gearing or Fletcher anyway which just happen to also be great torpedobotes, though it still doesn't seem worth it considering what you give up.

On Cruisers it seems like it's going to be useful for DD hunting, while the same for DDs with the added caveat that it seems like it's going to be really useful for stuff like US DDs when they're contesting caps, and RU DDs for hunting down other DDs with their speed because it'll reduce the problems they have with differences in detection ranges. I guess to an extent for hunting and lighting up other cruisers too.
>>
>>165928996
Are the Yorck's secondaries all that good?

I figure that'd be, what, the turning radius skills, then the demolition expert as well, since that will make the Yorck already better than average German HE shells better as well?
>>
>>165924593
No Radio Position or Concealment Expert for the battleships? They sound useful for detecting DDs/not being immediately detected at 26km of distance.
>>
>>165929603
I suggest, that instead of CE, you go IFHE to melt Iowa bow.
Because for some reason German BB have 1/4 caliber HE pen, but not german cruisers. Can't make them too powerful, now can we?
>>
>>165929393
I am thinking the same but will only take it if it is a must have and better than other skills i have.

All DD will need it as a must have and some cruisers too for DD hutning.

>>165929603
I dropped the secondary build i did but that was before the capt changes.

Are you going full secondary or survival?
>>
>>165929947
Not him but yes, CE is still great for BBs.
RP really doesn't seem useful for BBs at all though, they have to give up great T4 skills for it and the benefit it gives for them seems really limited. IJN DDs are going to be the ones that stay stealthed, but they're not threatening, while gunbote DDs like the US and RU get either spotted, or at least are in smoke or have rainbows of gunfire coming from them so you already know basically where they are anyway.

Basic surival build - http://shipcomrade.com/captcalc/01000000001000100000010101000001 could drop CE for BOS i missed that

AA build - http://shipcomrade.com/captcalc/01000000001000100000110000001100

Secondary - http://shipcomrade.com/captcalc/01000000001000100000110000001001

Just quick knock up of builds though it can be tweeked around and i may have missed something.

I think for some ships like FDG i will need 2 captains depending how the meta changes since i find less chance to get close with secondaries in T9 and up.

>>165930272
well either way, I'm still at a loss for what to grab. I figure I'll be getting Expert Marksman because 4.1 seconds off my 180 sounds pretty great to me. but after that I'm just not really sure. Demolition expert sounds alright, it'll give me HE shells 14% on main guns and 9% on secondaries if I ever end up that close. but is 2% really worth it for the Yorck with its 12 second reloads and eight guns? Would the Inertia Fuse be better for the Yorck for bigger damage on the shells since the AP rounds are just harder to use at longer ranges? Why not both to maximize the fire starting potential?

I just dunno.

I can tell you that absolutely NOT.
200mm+ guns barely benefit from IFHE. At T7 there are like 2-3 BB (all which higher tier) that will receive more damage if you shoot them. Everyone else, either have 50mm deck and thus don't care, or have <33mm deck and thus are already damageable.
If you decide to go Hipper+, than SI is a good choice, same with DE. But on Yorck? idk.
On last line, of course take CE, since with Yorck troll armor, you are better if nobody shoots you.
>>165931592
$500 have been removed from your account
>>
>>165931230
cont.
IMO, if you stay with Yorck, Vigilance (you are not the most agile boat) or BoS (in case you are caught with DCP on a cooldown) is a good choice. Second is interesting idea, since you don't have heal, so the less time you burn the better it is
>>
If I'm one of the "gunboat" IJN DD does DE or IFHE do more damage overall?
>>
>>165932102
They have same guns except Akizuki.
Then, use IFHE if you want to wreck DDs.
>>
>>165931661
>>165931878
I was also looking at Basics of Survival and such as well, but I wasn't sure if there was any kind of general Cruiser build or anything like the German BB secondary commanders.

So when I get home, I'll get expert marksman, then probably BoS, and after that I'll just get another level for Concealment and give that a try until I those wins for the gold to respec if I don't like it.

Thanks for the advice.

I think I'll be able to play US DDs without Radio Location in randoms. There are other captains skills which I think are more important, and the general common sense I've used so far will allow me to perform well.

What worries me is that with the introduction of clan modes, Radio Location will be mandatory in order to triangulate effectively with multiple ships.

CE lets you get into range of your secondaries easier, it's possible that IFHE does a decent amount more damage but I daresay CE opens up more opportunities for you in general.
Though all of this should be done after getting the basic manual secondary build.

>>165936512
IFHE is actually pretty useful with the Krauts because 10.5cm and 15cm guns get some of the most benefit out of it and can pen a bunch more of the stuff you fight. I still don't think it's worth it though.

I'd argue for Priority Target. Allows you to do some basic math to know if you're being targeted by extra ships that are not spotted AND not firing at you. Still doesn't replace common sense and preventive evasive maneuvers.

The 2 plane thingy doesn't seem all that worth it since they now only last 90 seconds up. Preventive maintenance also feels rather useless since BBs rarely lose engine/rudder, secondaries are very resilient these days, and it doesn't seem to influence destroyed turrets (and those are also very rare these days).

If you're at 10% HP it's still only an 18% increase. Unless you're bullying some stuff that you could probably have finished off anyway, it's probably not going to help you much. At that 10% HP it's taking less than 5s off your main guns, only half a second off you 105's, and just over 1s off your 15cm guns. It seems really situational for that to actually make a difference, where you couldn't have finished something off before, but now you can while being at low enough health that it's going to make that difference as well as not just getting finished off yourself.

>>165937524
This, PT is surprisingly useful. I've been running it on my Gearing/Sims so far and I don't think I could go back to not using it now.

At 50% its 10% ROF increase.

It is a useful skill all the time and tech the more damage you take more deadly you become.

Should I do it for the memes? Especially since the guns themselves look decent with 9% fire chance and 9.1km range.
>>
>>165939219
Yeah go for stealth or manual secondaries, I'm sure it'll help you against CVs.
>>
>>165939219
Are you the anon here that has been using the secondary meme build on the Monty?
If not apparently it's surprisingly good, and this patch probably helps it because you can get CE with it to keep the good old stealth build.
Don't bother with IFHE though because there's not enough 25mm targets around for it to be effective, 127s are only going to get a benefit out of it at mid tiers.

Not that guy, but EM is a crutch. If your turrets aren't on the correct side, then you're using a skill to make up for lack of awareness, much like PT and IFA.

I agree that a 10% increase at 50% might not seem like much, but it affects all your weapons, and it MIGHT be a very powerful ability. Definitely gonna try it.

>>165939959
EM's usefulness doesn't come from being able to turn your turrets to the opposite side because you weren't paying attention and something popped up there though. It's for tracking targets especially during turns, and quickly switching targets that are already in your field of fire, especially if they're quickly going to stop being spotted or present a worse target.

It can be good for both, but it really depends on your ship.
The way I look at it, if EM doesn't improve your turn rate by at least 25% it's probably not worth the points to you.

On low caliber gun it is less of a meme, because you start damaging ship bow and stuff.
Bonus points for German BB having 1/4 of caliber penetration, instead of 1/6
Extra bonus for 150mm secondaries on German cruisers having their HE only 1/6 pen instead of 1/4 We can't accidentally make them powerful, now can we?

It allows small caliber HE to actually pen more often, which makes it strong in combination with the German 128mm HE secondaries.

>>165941132
With German secondaries in particular, whose 150 and 128mm guns get 1/4 penetration instead of 1/6, it breaks a threshold that allows them to easily damage bow armor on high tier battleships. Guess that's WG's answer to the bow on meta: replace it with German BB meta.

>>165938017
I'd go with EM. Bisko gets to brawl a lot, so having faster turrets is useful to keep your turrets on target when making a turn, wiggling between angled broadside and full bow-front to bear your rear guns, or suddenly switching to another ship that just went broadside while your main target is angled. That is very valuable to me.

High Alert could kind of work, but I save my DCP for triple fires and flooding anyway. The times where I legitimately really need my repair up are extremely rare, most of the time it's because I overextended and put myself in a hopeless situation where a faster DCP wouldn't save me anyway.

I'm definitely not liking the skill rework.
For BBs I'm can take pretty much the same build as before, with an extra token T2/ T3 skill that I didn't really need but I have to take now anyway. Would've been more interesting if there had been new interesting choices on top of the old ones; like having a new T5 skill good enough to make me think about switching from CE.

For DDs it's all fucked up. The loss of BFT really hurts the gunboats, and RTF just adds yet another thing to be wary of in an environment which already discourages mobility.
>>165944903
He is kind of right tho. The new T1 skills are pretty much worthless. Out of the bunch, Priority Target is the most decent one for both BBs and DDs, but it's still a farcry from having BoS and BFT at T1. Kind of sucks for cruisers too, but at least they can mount the Catapult Plane skill, since their catapult fighter still has the old duration.

That was due to some vodka-addled slav dipshit assigning the armor values wrong, not because her citadel stuck out.

The "citadel hitboxes" on gamemodels3d aren't completely accurate and AFAIK never have been.

The difference is that 150mm gun pierce exactly 25mm, and you need 26 mm of pen.
With IFHE you now pen 25*1.3=32.5mm rounds to 33, meaning you now HE pen every plate, except 50mm deck and that KM bow armor

Thing is that before you had to choose.
Do direct damage with AP on a broadside BB, or do damage indirectly by starting fires.

no trainning room means no way to test but afaik, destroyers are not benefitted by HEAP, only akizuki and thats a big maybe

a anon believes that being able to pen the bow on 150mm guns is good so you should pick HEAP if you got CLs

200mm do not benefit from it at all.

BBs do benefit from it, it helps them to hit angling BBs and cruisers. if you know how to HE correctly on a BB, HEAP will help.
>>
Tbh outside of RPF which probably still needs to go, I'm not as down on this patch as I was initially.
I kind of like some of the ideas in the skill rework, with it being more about choosing what you want to specialize in as opposed to just getting the generic BB/CA/DD build and being done with it.
I'm not saying there won't end up being cookie cutter builds again soon, but I kind of like having too many viable skills that are all pretty good, and I've had a bunch of fun so far trying out different DD and BB builds. I'm not even quite as sad about BFT being made a 3 point skill now.

Thing is though that they only need 10 points to get any skill in the game now, instead of 15.
So important shit like CE and AS is vastly easier for them to get. Not saying it's all good, but it's not like they just jacked up the grind without any kind of other changes.

Because of how German BBs are armored they take way more regular AP pens and far less citpens than other BBs. Which means more health healed.
Those other ones take SI too.

>iDDiot feels invited to a conversation again
German BBs do take more regular pens and since those can be repaired "better" by healpot they benefit from them more, but I don't expect someone like you to understand this "complex" mechanics
>>165978731
turtleback armor = no cits => regular armor = not strong enough to shatter shells
it's really simple m8, and just for you:
SHELLY SHELLY, POINTY GUD, GO THROUGH METAL
>>
>>165977863
>>165977951
In the context of their play style and whether or not you take SI I guess that is fair. I mostly see people saying that line while they're in their German Battleship trying to explain why it's OK they don't have a citadel, these are usually people with 40% win rates in the Gneisenau.
>>
>>165978923
That is not how armor works you fuckstick.
>>
>>165979017
That's as simple as I can put it, sorry if you still can't grasp the concept.
>>
So what are your go to perks in DDs now that we've got RDF and CARRIER BUFFS?
>>
>>165978923
You're fucking retarded, that isn't how turtleback and penetration works
>>
>>165978731
They have huge area behind the main belt and above the armored slopes/citadel deck that does not count as taking citadel hits, but takes full AP pens insttead of overpens.

This means you will often take hits in a German BB that can at be repaired 50%, compared to the larger number of overpens (that deal very little damage) or citpens (that can't be repaired) many other other BBs tend to take.

This is really simple stuff, did you even look at the armor models for ten seconds?

>>165979239
It really isn't, I'm looking at North Carolina and Tirpitz right now.
Tirpitz' armor belt above the main turtleback is a whopping 160mm, that's enough to bounce most BB shells at a 45 degree angle to the perpendicular.
North Carolina's armour belt above the citadel however, is 32mm. That means yes, it does take more overpens then pens at the perpendicular, but it will take regular penetrations at a greater range of angles.
You're not going to tell me you sit perfectly broadside in your German BBs are you?

I know you're pretending to be retatrded, but I'll humor you:

You will more often present your armor at unfavorable angles while moving into secondary range.
With certain other BBs you can sit at longer range, specifically outside secondary range, and present your armor at angles that highly favor you; i.e. in such a way that even 32mm of armor bounce shells that do not overmatch.

All this is blindingly obvious to anyone who has played any number of matches above t6 and faced NM and Bayern, or NC and Bismarck.

So you're telling me you actually are taking more regular pens because you're exposing a greater degree of broadside? Way to agree with me.
I play German BBs. I played Bismarck and Tirpitz as well as North Carolina in ranked. And you know what happens in ranked? Bismarcks secondary brawl. But not in a stupid fucking way that exposes their broadside.
Given that 4/7 of your port or starboard secondaries face and can fire nearly forwards, there should be no reason to open yourself up to taking more regular pens (which by the way, would happen a lot more on North Carolina at the same angle)
All this is blindingly obvious to anyone who has played any number of matches above t6 and faced NM and Bayern, or NC and Bismarck.

The secondaries on the Bismarck basically fire forward, the 105 DP mounts are superfiring and the 150mm turrets are stacked side by side when looking at it from the front. You do not show your armor at unfavorable angles shooting your secondaries in the Bismarck.

So what do we do to fix torpedos?

Torps can cause Citadels? -50% to detection range on torps? Because they're basically useless in game as is.
>>
>>165989775
by nerfing the shit out of shellfire.
>>
>>165989775
Teach the shitters who cry about them to change direction and speed once in a while.
Reduce detection range, make detection range speed dependent rather than type dependent so all torpedoes have roughly the same mean reaction time.
>>
>>165989775
Reduce flooding damage by 90% and drop the timer, but make it unaffected by damage control.
>>
>>165989775
Are you one of "those" Zao "player"s?
>>
>>165989775
Is there something wrong with torpedoes? I seem to be blowing up people and forcing them to turn pretty well.
>>
>>165990046
IJN DD players are still complaining that they can't sit 20km back and torp things to death.
>>
>>165989976
It already causes a reduction to speed/maneuverability. Drop damage by 80% instead but keep the timer and reduce the timer by60%
>>
>>165990091
in my experience most people that play this game don't understand how to avoid torpedoes, what's the problem?
>>
>>165989775

Torps make a visible splash when they hit the water but they have a much shorter detection range as a result.
>>
>>165990046
They're fucking useless.

>>165989976
I'd say increase flooding damage, 30 second timer, repair doesn't fix it.

So flooding should always deal 34%-25% damage to anything that gets it?

What exactly does it do when the BB only has an option for spotting aircraft? The only time you actually lose one is when a CV decides to be a dick, and it won't be that hard for him to click on one more spotter plane

From the looks of it, you shitters wouldn't be happy until BBs were just giant harmless targets with flashing bright neon letters that read "FREE XP" on them and also WG adds in a new specific system so you can citadel a BB instantly no matter what as long as you just shoot it sort of right, even the Gneis and Scharn.

So by your logic as soon as a BB is on fire or flooding they should just have their life drain away at roughly 300-400hp per second, or even more depending if it's all three? Nice nice you sound like quite the game developer. Go talk to WG I'm sure they'd love you for balance.

>get fucked by everything in existence because this is a historically accurate experience
Are you fucking thick? If you've got such a problem take it up with WG, but you're the one playing the game where they wanted BBs to be a thing. They're already on fire half the fucking time.

You realise it's not competing with anything nearly as useful as Basics of Survivability? Everything at Level 1 is pretty underwhelming. If you're bow-on and PM keeps both of your turrets in action at a crucial moment it earns it place very quickly.

In just a few tests I am still convinced that two catapult aircraft is garbage, even if the -30% to incapacitation is only for the main batteries.

>>165998490
No. DDs are nimble enough to move around in their capacious smokes with ease. SSE is most valuable for RNCLs with their limited smoke screen and cumbersome low speed manoeuvrability.

>Leaving RPF that late
>>
>>165998934
Not even from a teamplay perspective? I only ask because USN DD smoke seems particularly well suited to covering teammates due to its long duration. For personal use, I agree entirely.
>>

It's more than wide enough. If you really want to smoke support, get jack of all trades for those two points instead.

>>165999406
The other thing is that with a three 4-point skill build, you end up with two 1-point skills anyway, so there's no reason not to take it. You can get PM and Catameme

>>165999870
Literally every match you fucking ape, have you played a German BB? See >>165998135
>>
>>165999870
Two matches ago. My Amagi had a turret incapacitated. I lost my torpedoes (destroyed) on my Tirpitz last match, and was with PM on both.

>>165999980
Catameme just isn't good. You can't use it to spot torpedoes anymore, and you never needed two spotters. It's weak as shit anti-bomber defense, and I'm not sure if the aircraft will target different squadrons if given the opportunity or if they'll both attack the same target.

>>
>>166000069
Yeah I just mean in the T1 list you can take it after PM on a 19 point captain because the other skills are shit anyway.

Particularly on German BBs, their catapult fighters launch quickly because they're fixed in place.

Also the fighters can do either but will tend to attack the same lead squadron since it enters their aggro radius first.
