I've got about 300 hp left when he's passing me less than 300meters away. yup, I did this to a dd once. I'm sure he was all smug seeing my broadside for that torpedo run. He was less smug when he ran into 3 of mine as I had already turned away keeping pace with the speed of his own torps.

Does anyone else get unplayable lag in this? Like spikes up to 400 milliseconds, can't fire my guns or control my rudder for extended periods. Once this inevitably kills me and I'm in spectator mode the ping counter shows a solid 60-ish ms for the rest of the match.

That tier3 japanese battleship sucks balls. 10km range, no manouverability, gets to tier 6 games 95% of the time. You can't even get to behind an island before the first torp salvo or some kongo 20km away finishes you.

Edit: I'll just keep updating this list. If more people get keys we can try to work our way down the list 'till everyone is taken care of. Just update your older posts with the region and I'll put it on there. If you get a key, either edit your original post or say thanks in the thread or something so I know you're taken care of. Feel free to PM me if I screwed something up.  The lucky ones:

Once this inevitably kills me and I'm in spectator mode the ping counter shows a solid 60-ish ms for the rest of the match. Why no, not at all.. there is no unplayable lag. Please do not say that again lest people jump on your poo poo like I experienced. This game is lag free and quite possibly routing using one of the best, most reliable servers on the planet. Really though its poo poo and yes I get lag, microfreezes and rubberbanding as do a good number of people but gently caress off if you say it with some of these douchelickers around here. Stevefin posted:I almost off of them, I have uninstalled them now, but it was the Contour mod, Eye of Saroun and the colour blind mod that I did not download for one reason or another I am guessing something else happened because I removed the mods and reinstalled them one by one, my torpedo indicators both enemy and friendly still work as does the sound. I would be happy to stream it for you so you can see though? The only one I have not tried it with is the one that zooms in and out because there is something off with it that causes the range to screw up. Also got a more authentic WW2 rising sun flag that looks better than the stark white one floating around the forums.

I've got a sickness and the only cure is more torpedoes. Nothing better than managing to land six tubes' worth of eels in a tight pattern right dead centre in some cheeky BB  Though on the flipside, I'm pretty useless with cannons. From what I've gathered the idea (with cruisers and above at least) with AP is to aim for the centre near the waterline for citadel hits, but I've managed to make that work maybe twice total even though the shells seem to land in the right spot. Meanwhile some St. Louis just loads HE and pretty much crits my everything in a single salvo. Do you maybe need bigger cannons (I'm only at Tier 3-4 at the moment) with greater penetrative power for AP to work reliably?

Generation Internet posted:My biggest annoyance with playing as CVs so far is that there's absolutely nothing you can do if the enemy carriers have better fighters than you do. If you fight them one on one you'll lose every plane and maybe shoot down one of theirs, so the only thing your fighters can accomplish is distracting theirs for long enough to strike with your other planes. It's a shame because that's not the case with ships, generally speaking it's a more level playing field in terms of fighting higher-tiered ships with guns. If you are not the only carrier on your team, then you can always have your fighters stick with his and hope that he's smart enough to take advantage of this opportunity and help you taking out the enemy fighters. Insert name here posted:Yeah CVs being super tiered and having to sit on your rear end for half the game because it takes forever to retrieve your planes is probably the worst part of playing CVs. Hence why I'm a battlecarrier!  Get closer to the action by choosing a side and sticking to it. Then get closer to the battle lines but just out of range of the enemy. If your side gets murdered, either try and run away, or remember my name and tell me how stupid this idea was.  Poil posted:I have the -10% service time to aircraft and -10% time for torpedo bombers. Still takes a really long time. I bet the reload time was set with the assumption that you'll have both those skills. If planes could land faster and more reliably or even land and takeoff planes at the same time or just cut down the time it takes for planes to lift, half the time would make more sense, it would make carriering a lot less annoying. I think they're trying to remain historically accurate. At this point in time, carriers did not have angled deck which meant that having planes taking off and landing at the same time was impossible. Or impractical. Daktari posted:I need to get in on this, and torpedo pubbies a ton. Those are pretty sad troll, and if you use them I will make fun of you.  demonR6 posted:Reply with "umad bro, Poi?" and then watch things get interesting. Poi! Poi! Poi Poi Poi! See how bad that was?

And I bet most of those who 'get mad' are other goons who find that retarded. Enjoy your anime.

Same with the Myogi. The Kongo is the first japanese BB that can throw down with the other big boats well, though you're very vulnerbale close-in becuase your belt is jsut not going to stand up to battleship calibres. But she's good at fighting at long range and can just eat cruisers alive due to her speed, maneuverability and comparatively fast turrets. Here's the game that unlocked the Fuso for me, just to show what a good match looks like for me in her:

Insert name here posted:It's hilarious when it works the other way around though. You're just there thinking to yourself that your salvo is going to miss because you lead too much when the shells just explode above the water and you get a citadel hit. I've not been having issues with warping at all tonight, but if I did I probably had a round where I was watching my shots miss yet I was scoring hits and ribbons were popping up. If of course that was happening but it wasn't because there are no issues with that in warships.

Torpedos not showing is totally a thing for me. A DD 3km away fired torpedos but I couldn't see them. I maneuvered beforehand and dodged them but the torpedos didn't show up until they were really close to me.

Tiger Crazy posted:Also how is damaged modeled in the gsme is it a healthbar or systems. Healthbar, but lots of crit effects, modeled armored citadels and overpenetration (fire a battleship-calibre AP shell through the superstructure of a cruiser and you do next to no damage because it just punches straight through before the fuse can go off) and both temporary and permanent destruction of subsystems from crits. Ships can be set on fire, suffer flooding, lose rudder or engines temporarily, primary and secondary turrets both temporarily and permanently and can even be made to go full Hood.

Woop, key received from the hands of TheFluff. Thankyou, you're a scholar and gentleman. You may smooth talk me about pansarskepps anytime. I managed a brief breakfast pre-work game where I immediately got distracted and torped to a watery grave, probably the first of many. It's already clear that half of the battle isn't fighting your opponent, but maintaining a balance between being zoomed in engaging your target and your own general situational awareness. Thinking about direction more in the late game so I don't end up stuck wandering around a part of the map without any local targets would probably do me some favors as well. So far, I am enjoying the boats. Desiderata fucked around with this message at 11:44 on Mar 27, 2015 |

Goddamn, it's ridiculous how much you can troll bad BB players with the Kongo. Had a standard cap mode match today in which all their BBs went down one flank while most of my team went down the other. A Nagato and me in the Kongo went down our flank and the Nagato got erased within like 5 minutes while taking one enemy BB with her with a crazy crit salvo. Which left me alone at 20km against two Fusos and two Nagatos. I proceeded to troll the ever-loving poo poo out of them for the next ten minutes because pubbies just can't loving hit a Kongo at 20km as long as you pretend you're playing Tokyo Drift:BB Edition*. At the end, they had taken off like 5k hp from me in return for one Fuso being near dead when my team capped after rolling over their cruisers and DDs on the other flank. I evne had the time to taunt them in the chat between dodging salvoes. *This also trolled the poo poo out of a cheeky little DD who was very suprised when I evaded his torp run by just hitting the gas pedal. Little fucker didn't expect me to be at only 3/4 ahead when he launched.
