I just played a game in my mutsuki (i'm new) and I got like 8000 exp (2.4k base)

is this good? Is it inflated compared to wows? I got 11 kills so i did well (question mark) but i don't think I would've gotten that much in wows for the same performance
>>
>>174330908
Tiers one to three will be filled up with AI if not enough human players ar present for a 8v8 match. So yes, relative to tier you got a shit ton of exp. 2400 would be a good performance even in tier 9

How do you know if they are AI or not? in wows the names have a colon before and after it eg :name:

is there something similar here? or is there no way to tell if it's a bot or not
>>
>>174334010
Bots take the names of inactive players. You can only check by trying to view their profile in the post match screen. Bots won't have one, obviously.
>>
>>174334010
No, it's just names of ded players. But if they're scoring kills, they're human. Again, bots are only present in tiers 1-3, which you'll exit quickly.

>>174334667
Winrate is actually a bad indicator of skill. It's easy for someone to get carried by two skilled individuals in a stack. It really only shows whether the player in questions has no idea what he's doing, or if he at least knows how the game works. Average experience (preferably looking at individual ships) and battle power are better metrics.
>>
>>174335774
BP is easy to farm, you only have to play a shitload of boats with mediocre results and thats enough to inflate it. Playing easymode goys also helps because they just throw MVPs at you.
>>
>>174335919
I don't think ship BP is related to your overall BP much. The current number one has a BP that's higher than the BP of all his ships combined.
>>
>>174336820
Goys help out because the xp is included in the calculations for BP.
Just look for individual stats on specific ships that you need for the moment, lets say 5v5s.

In Steel Ocean most premiums have strengths, but also weaknesses to keep those strengths balanced sort of thing.
In the case of the Ise BBV, you lose a few guns, some secondaries and a bit of armor but gain access to planes and increased AA.

It can be used as a purely scout ship, in which case you get loads of scouts which is rather nice. Can be a pain in the ass at times to fight against

But I would recommend trying to play CV's before deciding on the ship. Because if you can't stand CV gameplay, you would be missing out on the Ise's full potential.
>A battleship that can remove submarines.
>A Battleship that can spot for itself
>A Battleship that can make use of the strengths of a CV
Though again, you could just use it as a BB with a lot of scouts


It is definitely a solid choice, and you could get it without touching CV's in the slightest of course. But if you are able to remove targets with torpedo bombers with relative accuracy. You can remove subs, or other targets that might be seen, but out of range of your cannons, and she can be a monster.

Can someone please explain to me how the fuck you aim? I can't hit fucking ANYTHING in a BB.
>>
>>174410089
Well I do hope you let the scattering circle become smaller (the green dotted circle). Otherwise it's all prediction. I think the scale on the crosshair is made to hit a target going in a straight line at about 30 knots. DDs in low tier will be 35-40 knots. Also hitting a DD as a BB at a distance greater than 4.5km is pretty hard if he tries to even slightly dodge. Sucks in low tier where everything is a DD.
>>
>>174411624
How do you use the horizontal notches in non hawk eye mode?
>>
>>174413452
Well, the same. But your scattering circle should line up with the path of your target ship. Also I hope you're not trying to use BB main artillery in non hawkeye mode. Also note that simply pressing shift doesn't get you maximum zoom in either mode. You have to use mouse wheel for even more zoom
>>
>>174413540
I'm more asking about aiming while playing light ships. I don't use the notches at all and kind of guess where to shoot based off my speed and direction vs theirs and the distance.

Are japanese DD guns trash like wows?
I can't hit shit in hatsuharu but i can in the american ones
>>
>>174573125
Hatsuharu is shit. Some DDs have great guns, some don't. At early tiers you can be a gunboat but later your job is spotting, not using your guns.
This game gives great XP for spotting unlike wows so don't think you need to be dealing big damage or any damage whatsoever to get big XP. I've got a lot of 0 damage MVPs with the lafogoy.
>>
>>174573125
Fubuki is the supreme seal slayer.
>>
>>174574063
As anon says, this game rewards spotting quite well.

>Spend most of the match doing nothing but >>174390817
>Then get two torp hits on a BB but otherwise that's all damage wise.
And you can see I, with only 2.6k damage, beat the guy listed as "3rd for damage dealt" on the team and two others who also had more damage than me.

Also see how much XP the final result wound up as. You get 300% gains on the first win of the day each ship, AND there is a "first 8 wins each day provide 200% gains" and they stack.

And VIP timed which is 50% gains, which I didn't pay for, but obtained for the 4th day in a row of logging in. And that also stacks a bit with the other bonuses.

But yeah, goofing off netted me 4th place on the team since my 'goofing off bullying an enemy sub' was providing spotting of other ships.

Anon from >>174670618 and >>174671793 here. Did get the game running but the framerate can't go above 25 even at low settings, which confuses me because I swear I've played more intensive games than this fine. Still, in spite of that, I am having fun so far, even if I'm totally incompetent and everything has to look like shit to stay above 10 FPS.

Do I HAVE to keep these starting destroyers? I'm interested in exploring most of the nations' tech trees except Germany, but I'm certainly not pouring money into the game for boat slots.

You can get out of the T1 in a decent win and never look back. And be sure to claim the free port slots on the DLC area of SO's steam page. Thanksgiving and anniversary packs. "Storage, Non-battle items" area in game.

And you might consider trying medium before just jumping to low. Some games on some computers run better on med than low.

>And you might consider trying medium before just jumping to low. Some games on some computers run better on med than low.

I did try medium, while testing to see how high I could get, and it seemed like it got really choppy. But I'll give it another test and see. Minimum is too ugly to play (doesn't even show if your ship's on fire I think) and didn't even really improve from Low, so I'll try a game on Medium; if it's still unplayable, Low it'll be. I can live with PS2 graphics.

And yeah I got the free DLC stuff, which is pretty nice. I probably will just go through those destroyers, unlock the stuff, then sell them off to clean up some more space. I don't even know what kind of bote I want yet.

And with daily log ins, you can gather up gold for port slots. Or eventually take part in 5v5's for gold on a 3 month reward/season schedule. Made 700g this week from log ins. 300 day 5 and 400 day 7.

Depends what tiers you'd reached previously.

I'd highly recommend getting to T4 in each ship line, which takes little to no effort. They added in commander rewards for hitting those tiers.

But Japanese CA's tend to do quite well until a certain boat if CV's are involved in the match.

Fuck no, you can reach T4 in a couple of hours upgrading EVERYTHING before going up. Silver is never an issue until T9/10 and only if you are bad. You can reach T8 in less than a week playing normally/not putting much effort.

Dicking about doing almost nothing in a T5 Competition/TDM match netted me 4th place on the team. with 6k XP and 132k silver.

And a quick glance over the tech-trees lets you know relatively how much XP and silver is needed, not counting modules and such of course.

Tech Trees: German, Burgers, Japan, & British http://pastebin.com/uwYjZKzJ

In specific: http://i.imgur.com/t9Zh9Id.png The next sub (T6) is only 50k xp. So even one match a day in the sub for the daily 300% XP and the 200% (First 8 total wins each day) bonuses would have me advancing within 10 days or so. Again, that's only the win of the day single match, actually playing the ship would take an afternoon probably.

Some premiums are stupid expensive if you buy gold.

Gold ships are expensive as fuck and they are mostly for showing, same for cute/cool skins like pic related.

Many anons just are good and get gold (prem currency) from 5v5 (ranked mode, 3-months seasons) to purchase anything they want like massive VIP times or prem ships, but there's a lot of retards out there who go and get 60 dollar ships just because.

Oh and I said mostly for showing, since anything not lafogoy is basically either as strong as their silver counterparts or have some gimmicky thing like Ise BBV.

People buying commander rolls, or the steam packs. OR they make money on people that don't realize 5v5's exist, or those who get gold from 5v5's season and then throw in some $ to make up the difference to get a premium ship.

If you do decide to sheckle out, $13.6 for the Growth plan eventually pays out $65, $55 if counting the $10 cost of purchase.

You get 2x rewards for the first purchase at each tier amount of gold. Use 10.8k of that $13.6 pack on the growth plan that rewards 22k gold and 172k free XP as you just play through their game.
I bought a hell of a lot of port slots with it.
And whenever you do try it out, you can hop in the fleet. And there are Fleet Battles/Clan-wars, however quite a number of us have school/work/normie stuff that makes us unable to make it outside of the Saturday time-slot.

>>174847903
Submarines are a disruption class. As long as you're alive you are providing intel to your allies who can remove targets for you. And you're also that nagging feeling in the back of the enemy teams mind going "Oh shit, where is the sub" and with a single torp can cause a ship to turn and not be firing at your team.

And just starting out with the game probably not that great to choose since you aren't as familiar with other classes and how they handle or behave yet.

Of course you can get torp hits yourself but it requires positioning, a bit of luck, and catching enemies unawares. And torp hits from a sub can be devastating when they do connect. But really, you can advance the line quite well if you become good at baiting enemy DD's to get too close to your support line and be removed. And the removal of the enemy destroyer releases you to freely reek havoc on the enemy team.

As for carriers, they are different.
>>
>>174848195
>Are you implying TBs are the same as surface ship's toprs?

I don't know. I've only been playing a few days and I've had a horrible time aiming them. Also a horrible time as a carrier in general. I've only won one game in a dozen as a carrier. I can't hit anything and submarines and battleships keep breezing by the rest of my team and killing me.

>>174848516
Alright, I should give subs a break then. Probably head back to destroyers or cruisers for a while. I haven't figured out the best utility for cruisers either though beyond better anti-air. They just seem like bigger destroyers to me.
>>
>>174848736
Well you don't have to give them a break, but you will probably do better learning a bit of the other classes first sort of thing.

For me anyway it helped provide a relative understanding of how far you NEED to fire torps ahead of a target to possibly hit them. Typical advise is "Aim where you think to fire to hit the target, and then add 50% or double it". Since most tend to fire way under what they would need even if the target didn't change course, or adjust speed, or anything like that.

Or Longball a torp ahead of the target to get them to slow down or change course and work your way back with your aim, creating a fan of sorts.
>See Gif, except it is backwards compared to what I wrote.
I can hop on and do a few rounds if you want.
>>
>>174850940
I have been attempting the fan technique but as you said I do keep aiming far under. So I will try to keep in mind to always aim ahead. I keep overestimating the torpedoes' speed.
>>
>>174848736
>I don't know. I've only been playing a few days and I've had a horrible time aiming them. Also a horrible time as a carrier in general. I've only won one game in a dozen as a carrier. I can't hit anything and submarines and battleships keep breezing by the rest of my team and killing me.

T3 carriers are bad at almost everything, they aren't a good way to learn to CV desu, go quick into indie/RJ to feel what carriers really are like. And yeah, TBs are used for damage instead of area denial, try to hunt battleships, submarines and heavy cruisers, you'll have a hard time trying to hit destroyers or light cruisers. Also don't CVcide, you want to help your team with your planes, not hunt a single ship while said ship is torping the living shit of your team while you waste time doing nothing.

Futa is gay for a simple reason: you want to fap to a girl, then she suddenly grows a dick, which makes her unfappable. If you fap to her, you fap to the entirety of her, which includes the dick.

an ship game with the coatings of a chink phone game, but the undercoating of suprisingly deepish mechanics. the game peaks out at like 200 players or something and NBA is ded except on the weekends.
>>
Is the British battlecruiser line a good one for a first-time player?
>>
>>174924790
You get loads of secondaries, AA, and you go fast. But you have less armor than the BB line and less primary guns. And you also do not have access to scout planes other than T6.

The game is fairly balanced so you could start as any nation as far as BB's goes. Battlecruisers though? You'll probably be okay just note that you aren't as armored and so can't expect to tank damage as well.

I've upgraded from the Bogue to the Independence. This doesn't feel like an upgrade since I don't have guns anymore, and the planes are still made of paper. Any advice on effectively using the T's and D's? The dive bombers are simple enough but they always die, and aiming the torpedo bombers is finicky and somehow harder than aiming from a boat.

Dive bombers have shit damage and overall resistance until late tiers. Git gud with TBs and you'll carry games. Yes it's hard, but once you master it, it'll be worth.
You need to get familiar with the times for your TBs to drop the torps (some do it quicker than others), speed of the torps, safe range AND the speeds of your targets. Overall it's most of a experience feeling thing than something that can be teached. If you are having trouble just aim for a point blank belly shot on a BB, most of the time it'll hit at least 1-2 torps.

Are you going to do a commentary on that match?

coming from WoWS and it feels like wiggling and going fast doesn't do much to keep BBs from sinking me when I'm playing DDs.

If only I could equip regular smoke and gold smoke too.
>>
>>175105367
Des Moines is fun because you have DD reload
Mogami and Takao are fun because they're battleships
Tone is fun because you can spot the entire map
Deutschland is fun because it seperates the boys from the men
>>
>>175150052
>If only I could equip regular smoke and gold smoke too

You can. But please don't until at least T7. Gold smokes make the game a miserable experience for everyone.

I assume you are getting way to close to the BBs. Don't get closer than 4km. Also going slower helps avoid being spotted. Each quarter of max speed will decrease your disguise by 2%. Firing guns decreases disguise by 15% temporarily. Painting your bote increases disguise significantly (7 day paint is available for silver)
>>
>>175145681
More than likely, yes I will sometime today, when I wake up.


>>175150052
As a Destroyer, you should consider playing more of a spotter as long as you have larger allies alive while learning the mechanics. Spotting XP is rewarded very very well here.

Though of course ambushing a BB around an island can usually pay off if you can aim torps well. But a miss tends to lead to your death, which means your allies are now blinded if you were the only spotter.


But suicide rushes across open seas to torp a BB? It could work, but in most cases you are removed.

With practice, commanders, and an understanding of your ship and the mechanics, you can try taking on a BB in a gunfight by crippling its radar and/or staying out of its spotting range. But it is a 'death by 1000 scratches' sort of thing and doesn't work against all opponents, since some build for spotting/disguise.


TL;DR Spotting or enemy DD/SS removal is better than a suicide charge from a DD.
