Accuracy is not as good as it seems, even with the 11% dispersion mod.
Her speed is good to kite enemies but her agility is so poor that you can't get out of bad situations and if you do, you risk getting your citpussy ravaged because of the idiotic raised citadel.
Damage output is mediocre when bow on.

NEW SEA SERVER CLAN LIST HAS FINALLY BEEN UPDATED

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vRy28DqDeIip36rHKUMy_tGVQTkA3tmKjbHVDF0Ui1w/edit#gid=0

First section (rows 5 to 24) are "unicum" clans, second section are "good" clans, third section are "shitter" clans.

>BOTES: 一個普通的,接近一線的公會 基本是醬油名 沒人會記得(滑稽

>>166186538
I'm tired of playing this game and just wanted to boat spin
>>
>>166186426
The guy who made this spreadsheet is probably thinking of an old anime called School Days, where the "nice boat" meme comes from, and probably is mistaken that the [BOTES] clan is named after that.

The last episode of School Days was cancelled from airing on TV because it involves the female protagonist stabbing the MC to death, and a week ago there was a real murder incident in Japan involving a stabbing of a boyfriend. They thought it was a bad idea to air the episode (insensitive, muh feelings, etc), so they cancelled it and put in images of luxury boats instead. Some guy in a 4chan /a/ thread said "nice boat", and it became a meme in China, Taiwan and Japan.

For people who actually don't know where [BOTES] comes from: "Botes" comes from RHExcelion's twitch stream. RHE is the leader of Commie-subs fansub group, and he coined the term "bote" when referring to Kantai Collection characters, when he was playing the KanColle browser game on his stream. e.g. "I want to gently fuck that bote". "Botes" later caught on in /a/ once the anime started airing.

I've decided to pick priority target on pretty much everything, really helps BBs with knowing you are being stealth-torped
>>
>>166188746
Doesn't Priority Target only work when someone is pointing their main guns at you, and don't most DDs have torps with far longer range than their turrets?
Seems like it wouldn't work.
>>
>>166190193
it's just based on target locking
which works for torpedoes too, you can target things with your torps even if they're outside of your main gun range
>>
>>166190193
It works when someone chooses you as their target
>>
>>166190193
It works when someone presses X on you to lock you, which you have to do to get lead indicator on torps.

For Yamato, should I take Steering Gear Mod 2 or Damage Control Party 2?
I always take Steering Gear on cruisers, unsure how much it helps on the big unmaneuverable battleships.
>>
>>166192442
It brings her rudder down to "only" 18s from 22s, so yeah it's pretty important.
I think I'd kill myself if I had to play high tier BBs without the rudder shift mod.
>>
>>166192442
I have had maybe 25% of my games where steering gears might have helped me dodge an additional torpedo

On the other hand I've had 100% of battles where I've been lit on fire continuously, so for that reason I argue damagecon is far more useful along with BoS and the fire duration reduction flag.

Debate me motherfuckers

>>166192670

I'll debate you. If you're at that point where you're being HE spammed, your fires get refreshed anyway, so the fire reduction does nothing.

On the other hand, with steering gear, you not only avoid damage (both torps and better ability to dodge long range AP/HE fire), you also increase you ability to GTFO if shit gets hot, works well with PT skill that tells you 10 people are aiming at you.

Steering gear is a preventative measure, while DCS module is a treating the symptom without dealing with the cause (the cause being not getting hit the in the first place, and if you're getting hit, using steering gear to expedite an exit plan).
>>

USN DD or CA.
>>
>>166193648
Whats gonna be their special niche? The ability to surrender at the start of the match and get scuttled by your teammates?
>>
>>166193740

Besides that special ability, a lot of their designs are going to make use of quad turrets facing forward, making them excellent for attacking.
>>
>>166193724
>I'll debate you. If you're at that point where you're being HE spammed, your fires get refreshed anyway, so the fire reduction does nothing.
>does nothing

what? If anything steering gear is the "reactive measure" because if you need an extra 25% rudder shift to dodge torps you aren't maneuvering or changing course speed constantly, Circon.

Rudder shift lets you carry out preventative measures faster than if you didn't have it, also you can't sail faster than torpedo bombers. Once they're coming, it's a matter of shooting some die and using superior steering to sail through the torpedo gap.

Depends on what tier you're talking about. In competitive play it's practically mandatory for DDs and CAs. At low tiers only sealclubbers will have it because new players don't have a 10pt captain, which will make things even more sealclubby than ever.

>Then came the creation of the "VT", or proximity, fuze. Essentially a small radar unit in the nose of a shell that told the round to explode when it came close to an airplane, the VT fuze changed the AA game forever. Instead of requiring a direct hit to explode, or a fuse set for a certain altitude (with no guarantee that the target will fly at that height), now a round could go off nearby a target and cause some damage... perhaps even enough to kill the plane. The US Navy found that it would take about 1000 5" rounds to shoot down a plane using time fused shells. It took around 250 using VT shells. Please note that the 5"/38cal could fire, in good conditions, around 15 rounds/minute. That means, in theory, an Atlanta-class and their 16 guns could fire 250 rounds in just over one minute. It had an effective range of about eight miles in the AA role.

So I assume that you would also be okay with those 250 shells per minute starting to hit at 13 km?
Your quote is also pulled from
>https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/33sa2x/effectiveness_of_shipborne_antiair_in_wwii/
which also says that
>By the end of the war, the use of kamikaze actually made numerical sense against the wall of anti-aircraft and fighter opposition. The Japanese calculated that to score 12 hits using conventional attack methods, you needed to send 300 planes out, and you would lose 220 of them.
So, if we want to run this historically, a carrier would lose 18.33 planes for every torp hit it managed to get.

I also noticed that you're actually only using 1/4th of the sources you cited, and that single source is the rebbit comment. Your remaining links are the citations in that one comment.

While there is nothing wrong with using a properly cited tertiary source, you throwing three "sources" when you have only read one of them suggests you were trying to appear well-cited. In fact, of the 3 sources from the reddit comments you quoted not a single one brings up the statistic mentioned in the actual quotes, and was used by the author to explain the history of the VT shell rather than any substantiation of your argument.

>Meanwhile in fucking history and reality.
>Fighters are so effective that the battle of Marianas is called a Turkey shoot by the fucking pilots.
Unless you're deliberately being disingenuous you should already know that this was a case of the Japanese fielding unskilled and inexperienced pilots against skilled American pilots well after the IJN had depleted its experienced pilots.

It had an effective range of about eight miles in the AA role.
That sounds like a pretty weak statement for AA, so I decided to do the math. So, using these statistics (which, by the way, assumes that all other AA weapons on the Atlanta are nonexistent or worthless) and an 8-mile AA bubble, 3 Atlantas (or 1 Atlanta, a NorCal and a Cleveland) should reliably remove one plane every ~21 seconds. The average torpedo arming distance in real life was 700 yards at most, but since I rounded up to 13 km (it's actually 12.8 km), let's assume that your Hakuryuu's TBs have 12 km to reach these three ships.Given that the approach speed of the C6N1-B is 164 knots, that gives it 142 seconds to reach minimum arming distance, assuming the target is completely broadside and makes zero effort to evade. In order to hit a single torp squadron, you'd have to have lost a minimum of 6.76 TBs, which is surprise, the entire air group. It would take a further 142 seconds to leave this AA bubble, so all in all you would lose 13.52 planes in order to drop your load. The tier-appropriate Shokaku would lose literally the entirety of its 2 torpedo bomber squadrons and more (15 planes) in order to drop at most 4 torpedoes. This is, again, assuming that not a single AA gun on these three ships apart from their DP guns are remotely functional.

Now tell me again, do you really want to run with these statistics when you try to use it to dismiss AA?

You caught me. It was a lazy 30 second search with ctrl+c and ctrl+v. The "anon" was being retarded as usual and I really don't have the patience

Its common knowledge that USN AA was superbly effective, but fighters were the meat and potatos of the air war in stopping air attacks. With divebombers being the best weapon system for going above AA arcs which devastated the ships that were hit.

Its one of the reasons why I believe USN should be AA kings in this game and the fact that it isn't true is horrible.

>>166213908
Dive bombers were the most used weapon system of the war in regards to plane bombing on ships. Divebombers devastated an IJN carrier group in a single pass. Its the whole reason why armored flight decks became a thing.

>>166214191
Yeah that about fits the bill. AS became so annoying that even I had to cut ties with him. Couple weeks later he gets perma-banned.

>>166215453
Yeah late war AA was pretty fucking effective, its also why they sent more than 8 planes at once.

>>166216514
Lets buff plane speed and that could be reasonable. If anything give CVs unlimited planes with progressively longer cooldowns on longer squadrons so CVs can be less careful with losses and AA ships can rack up plane kills for doing their job.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhh, so dumb it down because someone doesn't understand basic physics? That's the whole fucking problem with video games.

I always thought this NAutist thing was a meme, but if he speaks even for a small portion of the player base, then yes, WoWs has a serious problem... for Americans.

I'm a fucking KM baBBy because I love brawling, but I don't lose my shit when getting torped, or having 4 fires because cruisers are firing on me. Of course I'm gonna get rekt, the entire point is to dish out more damage than you receive, and hope you live long enough to repair party it up 5 times, rape some more, win and get that dank ass dreadnought + confederate, maybe kraken achievement.

Here's how to fix the game, imo

>adjust Citadels - instead of high damage they now cause less damage but impair the ship like that one anon suggested way back

>adjust dispersion - it should be more vertical rather than horizontal, like it was historically, this will also keep bow on from being such a huge advantage

>adjust fires - fires should have a flat damage rate based on the HE shell rather than % based, there would also be a limit to the amount of HP that could be lost to fires

By making it so CAsuals and baBBies can show their sides to bring more guns to bear without being instantly deleted, you encourage players to be more aggressive rather than passive. Nerfing bow on and HE spam also helps.
>>
>>166221792
>no shallows

kys
>>
>>166221792
Okay so one question I have for you is. If only a certain amount of HP can be be lost to HE/fire damage, what does that leave ships that simply cannot penetrate armor with their AP to do?
>>
>>166221792
>nerfing HE spam
kys baBBie
>>
>>166221997

Only to fire damage, HE shells would still do damage. You just couldn't burn a metal ship to death.
>>
>>166216583
It's Saturday you fucking cretin.
>>
>>166221997
That change just makes it so the smaller caliber HE causes less DoT

So HE spamming botes like DDs and a few cruisers lose out but 203mm fires fuck people up
>>
Torp boat or gun boat? I don't want to waste my time going down the inferior line,
>>
>>166221380
Thing is though, despite sometimes not being perfectly balanced, I think the KM BBs are one of the best designed lines in the game as far as getting players to play their role is concerned. They show that players are willing to go up and tank damage and be aggressive and contribute to the team if the ships their sailing are designed around trying to get them to do that. As >>166221792 points out I think an important part of this the general lack of just getting totally deleted out of the game in a single salvo, which should probably be a thing that's extended to other BBs and more importantly to cruisers.
Especially at higher tiers currently, the tendency to get deleted in the blink of an eye is one of the biggest problems because it causes everyone to play more passively, which is why I've always hated the obsession with 'Muh big salvo numbers' that WG and some BB players have, because it just fucks up other aspects of the game, including how BBs are supposed to be balanced around it.

Do the ingame physics influence the amount of citadel shown?

You know, when a running ship turns to his left/right, the weight is on the other side than the one he is showing.

So technically a greater citadel area exposed, right?

It would cut down on the the "backward engine up time", which would cause you to start slowing sooner, thus cutting the time needed to stop.

Braindead blueliners are worse from a gameplay viewpoint, but shitters charging in hopeless situations, dieing and then complaining are much worse.
That said, sometimes they get lucky and manage to survive and cap or they just die killing at least one enemy in the process so they're not completely useless, unlike retards who hang back and do literally nothing until they get overrun.

It's not because they hurt muh feelings, it's because witnessing their retardness and arrogance, especially if they keep on ranting after they're hopelessly deleted, gets really annoying.
It just goes to show how poor their strategic assessment is.
You don't fight battles you have no chance to win from the beginning.
Sniping faggots are generally more useless than rushing shitters because the latter often get lucky but at least they don't throw the game away in the first two minutes.

So I got the DM and Monty, do I now go for the Gearing? I got a head start with the Farragut from he convoy which I've been somewhat enjoying. Any stinkers in the line or has the convoy already skipped that for me?

Starting to get sick of this RNG dispersion bullshit. Shot three volleys as a Kaiser into another Kaiser's broadside. 2 hits each time for no damage. All the other shots went to sea. And yes, I was aiming properly, don't you dare give me any bullshit about gitgud. This game is just RNG horse shit.

Yes. The grind is nothing but good boots. Gearing isn't *that* great but its good. Fletcher, Benis, Mahan, Farragut, theyre all great.

You're playing a tier 3 BB, what do you expect? They're by far the least accurate and some of the least enjoyable ships in the game. You have to take your lumps before they become the high tier deleting machines. Just be glad you're not going up the American or Japanese lines.

I mostly have T7-T8 in my port. So, what should I be aware of that helps me in matches? Including memes

So far I noticed no fucker goes for fighter loadout (less torps/bombs I imagine), setting fire to a CV prevents him from launching shit, and some CVs are way more OP than their counterparts on the same tier.
Also non-potatoes drop torps manually, after bombing to bait repair.

Enlighten me, CVnts.

Take those opportunities when you play with good players to try to learn from them, assuming you can aim most people's biggest issue is usually positioning. Take note of where they go on different maps and with different botes, a lot of this game is about setting yourself up before you actually start shooting so that you can do the most damage possible (as well as not leaving yourself open to getting killed instantly). Despite all the shitposting here about unicums most of them are willing to help and give advice or whatever if you're trying to get better.
Also keep in mind that it is harder to do damage with more good players on your team just because they're probably killing ships quicker than the average player so there's less HP to go around for everyone else, as long as you're improving you don't need to get too concerned about your stats.

It's a tier 8 premium battleship. It'll only be useful if you like the tier and want to train or retrain captains. I could imagine it selling if there wasn't a North Carolina like Tirpitz sold before Bismarck but since there is a tree ship, you should only buy it if you like the tier, the ship, and/or want to retrain captains for the USN.

Just ignore shit like that. As long as you win the fight or better yet win the game then whatever the enemy says is hot air.
You actually know to use every weapon in your arsenal, that's nothing to be ashamed of.

I just don't understand what there is to complain about. End of the game he did lose 40 planes to our Midway, but he purely solo'd me with 6 strike planes, and got 3/4ths the Iowa's HP. So thats a good 160K damage right there even if he never got another strike off.

12km torp or F3 for Shimakaze?
>>
>>166249186
What's there to understand?
Stay at blueline, score a few citadels every now and then but miss most of the time unless opponents are broadside idiots, low risk low reward.
Charge forth, all cruisers and DDs flee, get focus fired/burned/torp'd to death without accomplishing anything but there's that one in a hundred game where you only need to delete a cruiser and a BB to get clear of danger. Too much risk with very low chance of high reward.

Should I be playing the Gnevny different than the Izyaslav? In the Izy I usually rush a point and chew whatever shows up the best I can, but in the last few matches I've been getting demolished in the Gnevny trying the same. Should I play it more like a cruiser and hang back or am I just not applying myself hard enough?
>>
>>166274610
You need another DD buddy to bait out enemy DD first when you contest a point
>>
>>166274610
EZslav can play more like a burger DD but Gnevny is where you start to play more like a CL without a citadel.
>>
>>166274610
Be cautious and don't overcommit. You have amazing guns but they turn as slow as a battleship's so you can't be turning all over the place to avoid shots and keep damage on the target at the same time. If you don't have other gunbote DD's supporting you don't rush the cap, just go in easy, let the guy capping reveal himself and lay into him with your cruisers supporting you.

Also be prepared to switch into AP whenever a cruiser starts to present his broadside.

Is this ok for Yamato? Or should I give up on Fire Prevention and go for Vigilance instead? Jack of All Trades ok or go for Adrenalin Rush?

Though my experience right now with only the rudder mod is that I can still maneuver well enough to dodge torps with unmodified spotting range, and Main Battery Mod 3 already makes me reload sufficiently fast.
Also, as it is I think this would also be the build I'd use for Kongo and Fuso. Is there any IJN BB where it's worth going for secondaries, or should I leave that to KM BBs?
>>
>>166277834
Nagato.
>>
>>166277834
AR might be better than JOAT but everything else looks fine, especially if you're not finding that you're having trouble with torps as it is. You might reload plenty fast as it is, but when we're talking about 46cm shells you can never reload fast enough.
Also no not really, maybe the Izumo just for a full meme build, but the lower tiers of IJN BBs especially aren't worth bothering because most of their secondaries fire AP which is pretty useless. If you want to meme on people with secondaries just play a Gneis or Bisko.
>>
Can you hit the citadel with HE rounds?
>>
>>166278085
Yes, they just have to be really poorly armored.
Some of the low tier britbongs get citpenned by just about anything's HE.

USN DDs are gunboats that have an advantage at close range RU DDs are gunboats that have an advantage at long range and are probably the best starter ships and you could call IJN CAs and CAs in general gunboats with way bigger damage potential and citadels but they have troubles contesting caps as opposed to DDs.

All the T1 perks are absolutely fucking useless towards BB's its stupid as shit. The only one that is remotely useful is the is the expert loader but nothing else. Detectability is pointless and so is long range artillery fire and everything else is fucking carrier shit

Concerning the des moines, if you want to go AA build, why would you ever pick manual AA fire control over BFT?

According to my math (if we're ignoring the 20 mm AA guns), if you pick BFT your AA DPS will be 335*1.2 + 91*1.2 = 511 DPS against all targets.

However if you pick manual AA control, you'll do 335 + 91*2 = 517 DPS but only against the priority target.

If you add in the 20 mm guns, BFT will actually give you more DPS than manual AA control.

Am I thinking about this wrong?

Obviously if you want to go full AA build, you pick both BFT and manual AA, but then you can't get concealment since you also need AFT (this is assuming you get superintendent as well).

Why would you ever pick manual AA over BFT?
>>
>>166296547
>against all targets.
that's not how AA works. 1 aura works against 1 squadron.
Also, you are forgetting about 30% additional bonus for selecting target that applies on top of MAA and it doesn't matter if you actually have skill
>>
>>166296547
Because without MAA ctrl+clicking still gives you a 30% large caliber AA increase.
>>
>>166296547
That's not how AA mechanics work
DPS numbers are a lie and is based on RNG
Say a plane has 1000 HP and a aura has 300 dps, what this means is that you have a 30% (300/1000) chance to shoot 1 aircraft down per RNG roll (about every 1 second)
The auras of the long, mid and short range AA do not stack, but they are seperate, so at short range the squadron has 3 RNG rolls acted on them.

stop it anon

JUST STOP
>>
>>166296547
I've always wondered, if you use MAA the bonus is applied only if you focus a squadron, right?
Also, do the long range guns even shoot at all if you don't select them a target, and do they just focus the targeted one if you order them to do so?
>>
>>166296968
>long, mid and short
so if two different sets of AA have the same or similar range they're added together?I thought each group listed under the AA tab was its own aura
>>
>>166296874
>>166296786
>>166296968

I understand that you get a damage boost from designating a squadron and that the DPS from one aura is only applied to one squadron at a time, but even with that being true, I still fail to see how MAA would give you any more DPS compared to BFT.

>>166297007

I hate CVs and like to see them suffer.
>>
>>166297110
MAA is not worth it. It's like an extra 100~ dps for your 5in guns, it does not affect the 76mm guns.
>>
>>166297108
Press H while in match and you will see there are 3 auras (if your ship has 3 of them), short, mid and long range)
>>
>>166297316
It doubles AA DPS of 85mm> guns.

So like 150 DPS would go to 300, which isn't bad at all.
>>
>>166297779
ok so you will shoot an extra 2-3 planes down when you meet CVs, assuming they're retarded enough to get close to you.

>CV isn't carrying fighters

Why are CV players mentally deficient? always seems CV's are either AFK, sailing into the enemy without knowing, have no idea how to use their planes in relation to their own team outside of sending everything they have off the edge of the map to attack the enemy cv.
>>
>>166298421
There is none, anymore. Back in the days you could've used it help BB. Now with no CV and BB having great AA themselves, WG kinda limits cruiser useful options.
Though of course you can always div with CV to help with 0 CV problem

Also, i die rarely from torps and hydro seems to be working very well for torp spotting, however i have to give up on DF, which would greatly enhance my AA, not that i get targeted by CVs often either.

>>166302698
Don't just look at citadel, upper hull is just as important.
Upper hull is 30mm, so it doesn't get overmatched by anything except Yamato's guns, and it's the only cruiser like this.

Now compare go to armor scheme and select just the casemate and citadel. On the other cruisers, casemate is pretty much a vertical box over the citadel, on Zao it blooms outwards like a funnel as you go towards the weather deck
This means that Zao is extremely well protected and trollish from long range fire and when angling (not bow own)

>>
>>166305961
Iowa has a distinct advantage over Biskuit in terms of fire power and fire direction control. It's favored to win.

Iowa has superior fire direction control over Yamato but inferior firepower, it could go either way in a straight up fight, but Iowa's superior fire control would probably give it the upper hand.

That said, there's nothing to stop Bisko's shells from getting some lucky hits early on in a fight that tips the balance in its favor, or Yamato nailing Iowa early on, or some other hail mary.
>>
>>166306476
Yamato would explode if it tried to shoot kek
>>
>>166306476
Statistically speaking, the Iowa is much more likely to manage a destructive hit on Bismarck before it can return the favor.
>>
>>166305961
>Iowa vs Bismarck
Iowa, better fire control, better AA (AA on Bismarck was a fucking travesty in real life), turtlememes are not as effective IRL as they are ingame, better armor scheme IRL and much better guns.
>Iowa vs Yamato
If it's at night or bad weather Iowa due to vastly superior FCS, and Iowa can get closer pretty much safely without effective return fire, if it's clear weather, Iowa would need to ride the gauntlet as Yamato had probably the best optical rangefinders of its day
