I'm kind of sad that the Kita's a premium, but given the size of the maps in this game, I'm also happy I won't have to dodge 4 Kitas on both teams every game.

xthetenth posted:Less good and useless poo poo are not actually interchangeable concepts, I'm afraid. It's not surprising, since they did in Navy Field, too. It was kind of amusing being the rear end in a top hat in the Kita, and it was sweet sweet joy to one-shot one in your battleship, but literally every game had between 2-4 Kitas. Per side. On a map with no islands ( or one tiny one in the center ).  Many minutes of every game were spent dodging wall after wall of torpedoes, and that's not even counting all the other ships with torpedoes. The islands in World of Warships would mitigate this a lot, but it would still be a sack of festering poo poo.

I'm really loving the phoenix. I think I've enjoyed it even more than the St. Louis. A lot of powerful guns with the added torp gimmick is amazing against teams of terrible, terrible pubbies.

NerdyMcNerdNerd posted:I wonder when the game's going to go into open beta, or release, for that matter? I enjoy playing it, but I don't want to play too much when I know all my neat toys are just going to get taken away. Probably will have to wait for at least the remaining BBs and CVs to be put in, I believe that's when it will go at least open beta - followed by the Russian tree, then the German tree and finally the British tree. A lot of the missing ships are supposedly done (and have been in previous testing?) but they are still working on them, so maybe not as long as we'd think. I want to chill out too on the game, but will probably get hosed on some beta reward because you need to play a fantizillion of games to get that sweet sweet beta tester Motor Launch or whatever. Or they do a mid beta wipe and it doesn't count any of the previously played games, so

I'm feeling really stupid asking, but I just got an Omaha and I can't figure out how to make my scout plane do anything else than fly around my ship in a small circle? I swear I've seen other peoples' scouts all over the map. I must have tried about every button on the keyboard now. E: vv If you can't I guess I can stop searching for the key. What does launching it even do then, though? Increase view range? Keksen fucked around with this message at 19:46 on Mar 17, 2015 |

If it's like CVs when you're not in the overhead view you hold down alt and can click on the map/place on your screen to make them fly there.

It's not, you can't, what you see away from ships is probably the results of a launched plane and sunk ship.

The coolest part about this game is when you go to binocs view your engines make the sound similar to the Enterprise in the new Star Trek movies. Also to echo everyone else the Cleveland is a lot of fun. For the tier 3 commander skill, the cruiser one looks like an active skill. Does that replace the current cruiser AA skill or is it an additional ability?

Artless Meat posted:Wait, they changed up the order again? I thought Brits were coming after Russians. I've read both, so it's probably entirely up to Wargaming to decide if the Wehraboos will pay up more than the stiff upper lip crowd in this instance. Considering they went with *the russian navy* first you can kinda see their priority. Also why I'm guessing this closed beta phase won't last *that* long, they want money rolling in asap.

Am I crazy for thinking destroyers should have a clear advantage in raw speed? I fully agree that they are kings of mobility and are hard to detect but really all they seem to be right now are smaller harder to hit cruisers with less firepower and far less hit points but with a better ability to ambush. I dunno I just think they should be have more distinction.

I dunno I just think they should be have more distinction. It's hard to have even more speed and be realistic. For example the Farragut in real life had around 36 knots at half speed. More realistic I think is if they upgraded the concealment to balance it out, at least to have the detection range at something like 4-5k instead of 6.

First game out with the Clemens, bone stock: Ran toward a large central island and hid behind it, watching my mini-map. Watched until the enemy team was coming around the other side, and then moved in to engage, using the small islands and smoke as cover. Launched some torps at a Phoenix at the edge of my range, no hits. Dodged the Phoenix, worked in close to a Fuso that was distracted by another BB. I set him on fire with my guns, then hit him with somewhere between 5-8 torpedoes, doing a shitload of damage in the process. Then I set him on fire again, and a capital ship finished him off after I died. How terrible.

SuperSix posted:He didn't follow the doctrine of going 1v1 vs a battleship and expecting to win Considering how equal tier battleships and cruisers compare, where even if the cruiser has every advantage in positioning I'd expect a non stupid battleship to win with more than half its health left? Of course I expect to take on an equal tier battleship one on one. We are in the same matchmaking bracket, and in theory destroyers are supposed to counter battleships. Battleships certainly counter cruisers. NTRabbit is fairly consistently wrong about most things but it's painfully obvious that the ship classes aren't balanced.

There's a decent contingent of moronic simhard spergs (unlike the friendly well socialized spergs like me) who should really go back to masturbating into Friedman's illustrated design histories because they aren't capable of having fun in a balanced game. Also destroyers have a huge implicit relative speed buff because everything actually moves many times faster than if says on the tin. And empressnero is literally not a human and is the worst simhard idiot. But right now battleships can murder what they want unless driven terribly, and their only real weakness is in map control around tight areas, and people still want things that would directly or indirectly buff them because they have confused reading books with meaningfully engaging with the game mechanics.
