The IS-8 is mobile with a great gun but it can't carry like the E 75 can.

Sometimes pubbies are against you, and sometimes they're for you. The enemy team won an entire side through stupidity on my team, and then let me solo cap while they tangled with the last few stragglers. I think they tried to capture our base for about 30 seconds and then said "gently caress it, we're gonna try to murder everyone instead of winning."

why are mornings on NA such a cesspool compared to later in the day? are more drunks playing, or perhaps actual retarded people? every game is like 29 v 1 note the many tanks that did absolutely nothing (including all 3 of the arty on malinovka) I was 6th in damage with 249; perhaps I may have done more if the T25/2 didn't drive into me as I was shooting, then shove me out of cover entirely or how about this one, where 1 of their arty did as much damage as all 3 of ours and the most of the top tiers didn't bother shooting tanks  this is my biggest problem with artillery (along with the fact that there are just too many being played now); it's one thing for there to be a magic hand of god in the game as long as both sides have it, but when only 1 team has useful arty and the other doesn't it's broken as gently caress Jack_tripper fucked around with this message at 13:00 on Feb 6, 2015 |

Also I am running Sweet FX on that too and the graphics are night & day better. Other botes chat I ran the DD almost exclusively last night smoking as much as I could to test the theory and it seemed hit or miss whether I was able to see right through or not. My issue was mainly DD's on opfor countering with their own smoke making it a mess to test. I must however say the tier 5 USN Nicholas is a goddamned hoot. Don't upgrade the torps since the stock have something insane like a 13 km range and the upgrade drops the max range by 8 km. Max speed was almost 40 knots with a five torp volley you can deliver on hapless ships and the guns are pretty good too. There is a botes channel in TS for you guys that are in Alpha and want to create a botes-toon.

I thought the thing with smoke is that you get flashes of visibility through it when you fire. I don't know, but I would assume this only counts guns, not torps. So a sneaky DD in a smoke could probably isn't firing and is invisible, but a Cruiser outside if probably hammering out volleys at something and can be targeted for a torping.

What I noticed last night was if I zoom out to a certain power I can see those flashes you mention but full on trying to pick someone apart was not working for me. Also depending on how I was zoomed in and where the goddamned sun was relative to my ship I was nearly blinded a couple of times. My eyes are watering just thinking about it. I had a lot of success blind firing torpedo volleys into smoke where I had a good idea of the enemy ship sinking a few over the course of the evening. Also anyone who is an Alpha you should have a ton of 'gold' in the bank in the next 24 hours as a thank you for participating. They said there was a minimum number of battles you had to have over the last seven days but I could not verify that. If you get enough to buy the Atlanta (premium ship) do it, it's a money maker.

i would just like to say that the graphics in ships were generally pretty bad. i dont understand why they dont use higher res textures for the ships, if you zoom in in any degree teh textures are all smudgy. portholes and other small details are not actually modelled, but are merely "painted" on with textures where you can see blocky pixeledges. the actual sea abnd the black smoke when firing looks allright, but everything else looks dated and lowpolygony. the islands are incredibly undetailed, with lovely looking foliage (if any). also, smaller guns like AA are completely stationary and dont follow their targets. graphics-wise the whole game was a completely underwhelming experience tbh

demonR6 posted:Yep. Also I am running Sweet FX on that too and the graphics are night & day better. I ran the Nick with stock torps the whole way thru. The slight upgrade in damage is not worth losing 8 kilometers of range. On the tier 6 I think both sets of torps are only 5.5 km range which makes life extremely dangerous...might be off there though...the T7 is definitely crazy short range but has a very nice throw weight. I found the most effective way to play the 7 was to smoke early stick with BBs and provide AA (has a ton of point defenses) then in mid late game to pop anything that is too close to your blob or targets of opportunity. rex rabidorum vires fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Feb 6, 2015 |

One of the mods was discussing this in the WoWS TS is all I know but it was being discussed actively in game chat. No idea if this applies to SEA but I don't see a reason why they would exclude? About the graphics chat in a previous post, this is still in Alpha.. remember what a bucket of poo poo the tanks looked like early on and still do in some cases? Even the early Alpha island models were complete garbage compared to now. Honestly I could give a gently caress all about what the islands look like or even close ups of the ship for that matter. I am focused on delivering hot death to the guy on the receiving end and how often will I get to see that close a detail of the other ship while in combat? In the port is another story but even then it's not nearly as important what they look like compared to the gameplay being priority. Pretty can come later but not at the expense of FPS and playabilty. I am sure most people will agree on that. rex rabidorum vires posted:
I like to stick to one of the bigger ships and pop smoke once we are closer to the range of engagement to help them out and to set the screen for myself as well. Enough times I have not been focused down when in the company of a bigger threat and that allows me to send off at least a volley of torps and run for cover while I reload and fire off a few shots in the process. demonR6 fucked around with this message at 16:11 on Feb 6, 2015 |

No idea if this applies to SEA but I don't see a reason why they would exclude? hey i played planes, and it didnt change in any noticable way from alpha to release or now. it looks quite good at a distance, but closer inspection of anything reveals dated lazy graphics. i have no faith in them improving anything but the textures before release tbh. also, the only reason ships (and planes) run so much better than tanks, is because there are so little detail on the maps. ships is basically a large flat surface with a couple of islands consisting of like 20 polygons and a couple of slightly higher polygon count boats. tanks has stuff all over. also, make a thread for ships already. dont blame the loving nda or whatever either, because youve already been discussing ships for pages and pages in this thread without caring about it

Un-needed 13 90 report: Still a blast, teams are loving terrible but after playing a few games in this tank I remembered why it is so fantastic. In one clip I killed 3 T9 arty (2 M53/55 and 1 Batchat Did they mention how/which crew members the AMX-30b is going to have? Might save my lady crew for it.

If you maxed out the crew from the pixel tanks can you use them in the new 30b? The crew on my Mammoth is already 2 skill and almost halfway through number three.

Prav posted:9.6 acc changes got a post in russian. Judging by those charts, it seems to me that derp guns are the real winner here, what with them being more concerned with hitting the target than precisely putting down a shot on an exact weak spot. There's less chance of hitting the exact point you're aiming at, but also less chance of the shot going to the extreme ends of the aim circle. It's a similar case for high pen/moderate accuracy guns (anything like the T29's 105 for example) IMO, since those are a little less concerned about weak spots. Low pen guns are SOL though.
