Which slot 2 upgrade do you guys think is best for the Amagi(tier 8 BB)? 20% more range on AA guns, 10% faster reload/15% aiming on main guns, or more accuracy on main guns?

So how is the making GBS threads on wheraboo/weeaboo pubbies minigame in World of Battlebotes? Are the forums just as thick with ignorance and racism?

The two forum threads I looked at were full of anime avatars/sigs, mostly related to that Kantai Collection thing or whatever it's called

This is a game featuring Imperial Japan in a way that pretends the IJN wasn't hopelessly outclassed and didn't have leadership so dysfunctional the Galactic Empire would tell them to calm down and attend team-building exercises. Weeaboos are going to be a thing.

No, these weirdos go hand in hand with the WW2 game genre. The only course of action is to embrace the opportunities to troll it provides.

Mario wasn't sure if this Jeb guy was a good influence on Yoshi.

Accuracy can also be pretty sweet. Dropping tighter salvoes is pretty nice in longer range duels. Experiment.

At the start of battles just tap 2 to select AP. Tapping again will unload the HE and load AP without having to shoot.

The reload one makes your guns turn slower, Wargaming didn't write the descriptions well.
Tier 5s and 6s fart out credits in a way that puts Type 59s to shame so it's easy to experiment.

I think that's slower reload, faster aiming. It could be worded better.

They are going to give people piasters to cash in free xp, buy premium botes or masturbate while you look at your warchest pile up.

Seriously gently caress the premium ships, get a St. Louis and elite it, buy the mods and skill up the crew then poo poo on everyone that comes into your sights. We are not kidding that ship is tits. I drat near killed a full health tier 5 BB with that. They could neither reload or turn fast enough to keep up with me while I vomited fire into to. If it wasn't for someone coming out to help I would have killed it.

I loved the St Louis back on the beta weekends. I'm interested in getting the kitakami and grinding for the Baltimore/Des Moines, which means getting premium would help a lot.

So dumb question, how the gently caress do you know what your crews level is? I looked for something similar to WoT in the UI but didn't see anything so figured crews weren't a thing?

Japanese cruisers, too. You can lay down lots of torps at long range and just kind of turn a lot of channels into minefields for the enemy team. You don't even have to aim them well at long range, because if someone stumbles into one, there's a good chance they won't turn fast enough to avoid it. Torp spotting distance is very low.

I don't know if I should be using HE shells against carriers, but I do know it's hilarious when I shoot HE into their below deck and watch them burst into flames.

Japanese cruisers have pretty short ranged torps. The destroyers have the nutso stuff. US destroyers don't have awful torpedoes either, especially early when they use torps on the sides rather than middle and have a ghetto reload.

BadLlama
Jan 13, 2006

When I approach carriers/Battleships in my destroyer I fling HE at them to try and light them on fire and get them to use their kit before hitting them with torpedoes.

I do like how even the lower tier ships can just wreck a badly played upper tier ship. That said that'll even out as the CBT goes on, so get in while the going is good.

This is what makes the game beautiful, the tiers are softer here and not set in stone as they are in WoT where a tier V should always lose to a T8.

A couple torps, a few crits and you can still do good even against superior opponents.

Yes.
Ok, I think I'm getting the hang of the Phoenix now:



This thing is freaking sweet, while it has fewer guns than the St.Louis, their layout is such and the ship is so nimble that it's pretty easy to keep laying consistent fire on target while I wiggle around between islands like a (rather big) weasel. I mostly just save the torps for those "Oh poo poo" moments or when I spot a particularly oblivious pubbie.
