Poil posted:Airplanes ignore that. But you'll see them teleport occasionally. And they sometimes bug out completely and just circle refusing to attack for no apparent reason. Torpedo bombers will randomly decide to fire wide spread hitting with only one instead of five shots. Fighters vs fighters doesn't seem to work most of the time, where both groups will just get stuck not shooting or moving for long periods of time. The torpedo bomber spread is them panicking from taking heavy AA fire/fighters on their tail. I've had fighters just freeze in the sky,but it might just be a bugged/missing animation,because they usually still use up ammo and take/give damage.

Can't wait for the Bismarch to come out, so I can roleplay it historically. In a fjord all game without firing a shot. For those in the alpha, when will the alpha servers be up again? Could I have alpha access even if I haven't received a mail or have access to the alpha forums? I don't have access to the beta forums on the EU forums despite weekend tester (at least last time I checked).

German surface ships rarely fought and were all pretty ordinary technically and in sailor skill. Try bringing up the Graf Spee, the ship that scuttled itself in fear of a carrier that wasn't in the same ocean. How they can fanboy that poo poo I don't know.

Artless Meat posted:Pubbies seem to get really mad when you mention the Yamato never sank another ship. Technically untrue, she's usually credited with sinking the escort carrier Gambier Bay at the Battle off Samar. After the Chikuma hit her engine room so she was dead in the water, and after Yamato had advanced to nearly point-blank range. Very  for the pride of the IJN, but it seems like her oversized guns had trouble hitting much of anything. She was constantly on gunnery practice, and earlier in the war Yamamoto took the rare step of officially rebuking her captain over its poor record in tests. Yamato was definitely an overpriced hotel, no question.I'm really hoping they balance the Long Lance by giving ships that carry it a chance of randomly exploding. An escort carrier at Samar managed to sink a heavy cruiser with a single 5-inch shell because the shock from the impact set off the torpedoes. IJN Captains would sometimes jettison their torpedoes when they came under air attack because oh god, even a near miss could set these things off. And some of the Kuma-class cruisers had 40 loving torpedo tubes  Dunno-Lars posted:Can't wait for the Bismarch to come out, so I can roleplay it historically.

The best thing about the Yamato class is that 1 or 2 of them got converted to carriers... Massive carriers that could launch up to 45 airplanes!  Zettace posted: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. Are you sure your're not just over-penning? It's entirely possible to shoot through lightly armoured ships with AP for little to no damage, and if you hit the water in front of a ship you could still hit the forward hull. Sure, it could be lag issues, but it might not be.

Well its a battleship, All you can do is get bigger and better? though I think it had more modern AAA guns, since apparently they where so advanced they could not hit a swordfish

Shinano was the carrier, dead cert to be the Japanese tier 10.

And when I said in front of the ship I was talking about a good 20 meters in front of the ship. It's the same for my ship. The enemy shells are landing in front of my ship graphically but then my engine would die meaning it was the rear that was hit. What's weird is that my ping is in the 80 range and my fps is fine as well so I have no idea what's causing the sync issue. Zettace fucked around with this message at 10:31 on Jan 26, 2015 |

Does Botes include 2 versions of ships that got extensively modified between the wars? For example, pre-1930 Kongo is a lot different to WW2 Kongo.

Darkrenown posted:The best thing about the Yamato class is that 1 or 2 of them got converted to carriers... Massive carriers that could launch up to 45 airplanes! One. Shinano was half-built and was a lighter armoured reworking of the design (armour was pulled from her belt and turrets to be placed elsewhere around the ship), but it was realised that Japan could only support so many giant fuckoff harbour-queen battleships and so she was converted into a "support carrier". The idea wasn't for her to be a proper combat carrier herself, more like a mothership for ferrying and servicing of other carriers' air wings. There was another battleship based on the Shinano improvements under construction, but with the war priorities changed and she was broken up while ~30% complete IIRC. That left only Yamato and Musashi as active serving vessels. Both saw some combat but as stated before Yamato was pretty much just finishing off a doomed ship anyway, not the most glorious of combat records. Musashi was lost to air attack while in action, then Shinano got torpedoed Of all the great battleships of WWII, I'd say Yamato and Musashi were the best-looking, closely followed by the Iowas and then the Nelsons for comedy "why is half of my ship missing" points.

I think for WoWS they're going to relax the requirement WoT has for every nation needing to have a line up to t10 for each type. Hell they should relax it for WoT, at bare minimum in the case of arty. We don't really need more arty and I'd be incredibly angry for a nation to not get included because they couldn't find arty, of all things, for it.

When they found her wreck her superstructure was pounded into crap. Her hull was largely intact but for the torp damage at the stern (not bad enough to sink her) and a large piece that looked like it had been blown outwards - obviously not the work of the RN, and probably what finally took her down. Honestly the point is kind of moot because she'd been dead long before she finally slipped under the waves. Whoever it was that sunk her just put her, and a lot of her crew, out of their misery.

Even WG is has admitted they're slow to add them because they don't know what the gently caress they're doing with arty and don't want to upset the "balance" we have. Hurts that the, or one of the, proposed t10 Japanese arty had a 310mm gun from a warship, which is significantly larger than the T92 or CGC. In order for a new nation to be added it had to have mediums, heavies, arty, and tds to tier 10. They already relaxed the 2-10 requirement they used to have for the Chinese line, where finding low tiers at all required them to use lend-lease vehicles.

The torpedoes were made for the Austrian (OK, Austrian/Hungarian) navy, by a company that invented the modern torpedo. So it was literally sunk by the oldest possible torpedoes in the world. I have a nice crystal thing with a blob of bunker oil from Blücher sitting at my parents' house, incidentally: I did a work placement week in high school with the Norwegian EPA, and they had them made to commemorate them draining the wreck of oil sometime in the '90s.

tbh the blucher went through that sound under the impression that the coastal fortress would only fire warning shots, which also was the case. however, the dude in charge had his own interpretation of protocol, which lead to the blucher getting boned by lucky hits from 28cm shells at point blank distance + a bunch of 15cms.
