My experience with domination is that the winner is the side with less retarded battleships because most of them just hate playing the objective and instead just sail a slow wide safe circle around the map. And lose.

My experience with domination has been that losing multiple battleships cost more than owning the land points. Especially if it is going one sided. Everytime I have looked up and saw one team ahead, the losing team was down half or more of their ships already. Also, the glacial map has 4 points for domination mode.

Domination is really good because it means you can't just be a coward and keep your battleship in nice clear open seas, and there's a real risk reward factor to decision making. It's a matter of reading the battle well and being ahead of things. Also because two cap capfast is inane with ship speeds and hitting difficulty at range.

Holy poo poo I love the Kongo. Citadel-hitting other BBs with plunging shots from 20 klicks out is hilariously satisfying, as is dorking around in a BB that almost handles like a heavy cruiser.

I made a new personal record for downed planes in my carrier, 78. Most of it was spent just defending myself from suicidal anti-carrier runs. One squad of fighters working together with focused AA fire tears through things quite fast.

When you are a CV is it possible to have more then one squad of the same type out at the same time? I know as the first carrier you have two squads of each, but I only seem to be able to launch the second when the first is gunned down. Edit: Figured it out. Love it, but I still enjoy cruisers more. You can do everything if your not stupid. Krataar fucked around with this message at 21:53 on Mar 25, 2015 |

check the module screen; the max number and type of squads you can have are unlocked and selected like guns are on the other ships

Is there any indication whatsoever telling you how long your torpedo tubes on one side are going to take to reload? Because there is absolutely nothing worse than having a battleship happily on the side you fired your torpedoes on and not knowing whether you can turn quick enough to fire the other side or if you should just keep straight on because the battery is going to be reloaded in a few seconds.
