Asproigerosis posted:I don't get destroyers, I get snowed under by the AI way before I can get within 5km Never be the first *human* ship to be spotted by the AI. Let the other AI ships mix it up before you get spotted, because the AI seems to bore in/tunnel vision on the first available target, and I've also noticed it seems to have a bias against non-CPU players. So the AI is Skynet.

I just poo poo out like a month's worth of videos, by the way. I might actually catch up to my backlog sometime within the next month or two. Exciting times! I'm also likely to stop doing WoT videos for a while since I'm not playing as well or as often and I've already got like a million reruns of Centurion Finds Hill; Murders Everything. I want to put up some War Thunder, maybe some other stuff too.

The Fuso is loving magical and fixes all the problems I had with the Kongo. Namely it can take a torpedo for less than 8k damage and it can shoot down planes. It also has more guns. It's loving wonderful and I've been top exp almost every game since I got it.

Torpedoes are kinda fun. I drove a destroyer and launched a volley against an enemy ship and a minute later some of the torps that missed struck an allied cruiser. Then I rounded an island and drove straight into the remains of an allied torpedo pack and promptly sunk.

The best is one one of your ships fires a full spread of torpedoes beyond max range through half your fleet right in front of him, then acts like you spoiled his strategy of the millennium by driving into his perfectly aimed battleship killers.

"Did you know that the smoke generator is actually just the crew setting fire to the deck? Watch your health next time." I had at least two destroyers not use smoke because of this.

Shits out shells even faster. 12 rounds every like 9 seconds I think. Really tears up DDs and when left alone all those AP shells coming in on BBs add up fast.

Subyng posted:How do you aircraft carrier? Played my first game with the Langley and accomplished nothing. Juffo probably can guide you slightly better than I, but if it's the base Langley set your fighters to escort a BB of some type where they can relocate quickly and then hold the torp bombers back and off to the side a little. When you see a torpedo flight jump them with the fighters. Cackle if you kill all of them (decent chance if you catch them early). Wait for either a cruiser or battleship to be spotted angle the torpedo bombers to attack in such away to maximize hitting the length of the vessel. BBs are preferable targets, but getting cruisers out of the game early is nice. In terms of upgrades the 2nd flight deck gets you 2 fighter squads use then use them to jump everything. 2 on 1 enemy fighter squads them wreck the bomber/torp squads. Late game use fighters as meat shield/escort to eat shots while your torpedo bombers ruin remaining ships. Just realized I'm an awful 47%'er so far  also gently caress like 95% of battleship players. Literally incapable of doing any thing.Addendum: The range of the US 6/7/8 DDs torpedoes is really awful. Plan and play accordingly. It's rough. rex rabidorum vires fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Jan 25, 2015 |

Some streamer played the reward tanks during the beta. Remember the siren on top of the AT-7? The 28 Concept has one of those on each side. That sliding gun mantlet is also kinda shaky.

Subyng posted:How do you aircraft carrier? Played my first game with the Langley and accomplished nothing. Different planes have different stats and obsolete fighters get totally shredded by newer ones. Be very wary if you see a higher tier carrier, you have to avoid his fighter squadrons and hope they're a dumbass with their bombers (They are often dumbasses). You launch your planes and control them as if you were switching ammunition types. You zoom and click around like an RTS and your planes tool around. You probably know this. It's better to manage your bombers and make sure you get a good angle of attack on a ship. Dive bombers do best when against light ships and straight down the bow or stern. Torpedo bombers should work together to create inescapable spreads. Sending squadrons in from different locations on a single target will create different spread patterns. Alternatively, use alt-clickmaking sure the squadron starts outside the dotted circle, to manually set up runs. AA fire will mess up your planes accuracy if they aren't already on an attack run.

Subyng posted:How do you aircraft carrier? Played my first game with the Langley and accomplished nothing. It'll take a few tries to get right, but when setting up your torpedo runs always think to yourself "what if the enemy speeds up/slows down/turns hard in any direction/etc." Think of everything your enemy could possibly do, and do your best to account for all of those possibilities. If you have two squadrons of torp bombers, never send them both on the same attack angle (unless you're sure it will work), because that's just putting all your eggs in one basket. Destroyers are so hard to hit with torps specifically because they have so many options for dealing with torps at their disposal, and are highly unpredictable. You can also use fighters (and bombers, thought it's riskier) to scout the enemy. The closer you are to the front, the faster your planes can restock and get flying again, though pubbies are retarded and will reliably let the enemy get through to you, so it's generally worth sitting in the back. You can position yourself just behind an island for cover. The carrier's autopilot is absolutely stupid. It will run you aground, has no idea how to navigate around terrain, and is completely incapable of reversing. Don't be afraid to take a moment to manually steer yourself.

Artless Meat posted:Pubbies seem to get really mad when you mention the Yamato never sank another ship. I did a cumulative 50k damage to a shitter in a Yamato, also getting the kill, who was trying to kill that t8 aircraft carrier using only his front guns. Aramoro posted:The Haku might be ok if people realised it had no AA so they needed to support you, but people are shitlords. Right now the Haku and Kongo especially are in a terrible position. They have no appreciable AA, and are at tiers where nothing else does either, and they take 7-8k damage from each torpedo. Two enemy torpedo squadrons call all but guarantee a Kongo loses ~40% of its health. Only way to survive is to hope your allied carriers are on the ball with their fighters, and they won't be. Once you hit the Fuso battleships suddenly become playable. You take a lot less damage from torpedoes and two or three battleships within a 5km circle will shoot down every plane.

So World of Warships is kind of fun. It's a decent game but there's a huge sync issue were ships are not actually where the game says they are. Ships are frequently in a different spot as displayed graphically and thus makes aiming impossible. Shots that hit dead on will just go through and do no damage but shots that hit the water in front of the ship will sometimes give you a "hit" which really ruins the atmosphere of the game.

The non-biplane dive bombers aren't too bad against battleships. They always hit and have a very high chance of fire which will cause the pubbie to press the repair button and then you send in the torps to strike him making nice long lasting holes in his hull while he's helpless to fix his poo poo tub.
