Its Battlestar Galactica without Cylon babies, only the other way around because Battlestar Galactica was heavily inspired by SBY. The remake even added this Starbuck-like chick to make the circle complete.

I like that his short reference to Kantai Collection was as impersonal and true to the game as possible; "They're young girls who have embodied the spirits of old Japanese warships.". Short, concise and to the point, and he's even got a Kirishima figure. I expected a different reaction from him, that's pretty cool.

Question though: he was double-clicking every salvo he had with the Kongo at long to his optimal engagement range, which was from 21km to 13km, I think? Is it better to just let go of your entire salvo in a battleship? I thought it was good practice to spread your shots and wait for them to land one-by-one, until you're sure your aim is straddled and proper in the enemies' battleship. Which is better?

I wouldn't say they're outright inferior, but they do have a different focus. Almost all japanese cruisers have a healthy complement of torpedoes, but in return they have less powerful main guns and AA weaponry than their US counterparts. So basically the US cruisers are more rounded, but the japanese ones have some extra bite against battleships and inattentive cruisers.

Yes to the AA capabilities but no to the extra guns. US Cruisers generally have better firepower and better protection than Japanese cruisers. The Japanese cruisers are almost all citadel.

I don't know what the gently caress is going on with the Japanese cruisers. The Tier 8 is almost exactly the same as the tier 7, but with 5 less guns and even less armour.

Then the tier 9 is the same as the tier 8, but the guns shoot slower! What!

No cruiser in the game match up to the Des Moines though, that thing shoots cruiser shells at 10rpm. It's a tier 10 Cleveland, which honestly deserves a nerf, or at least a tier-up.

I'm going to complain about the Japanese tech tree again. The Fubuki's guns actually shoot at a competitive rate, and it has enough turrets to deal damage. Its first hull upgrade reduces its artillery score, but it doesn't tell you why in the harbour.

Turns out, the hull upgrade reduces the rof of one of the ship's turrets. This isn't a game-changer, but I don't understand why it would do this.

The gun upgrade though, reduces the rof of all the ship's turrets. In exchange you gain marginal AA power from dual-purpose guns. But destroyers don't even use their main guns for AA. And the harbour screen actually rates it as an improvement, telling you that it's an rof increase from the single gimped turret from the hull upgrade. This might actually be a bug, but I can't tell where somebody hosed up here.

Destroyers do use their main guns for AA. AA damage is essentially just a field that does a certain amount of damage per second to planes that wander into its range, and whether the guns are firing or not the damage is still counted.

At least that's how I'm pretty sure it works.

Yeah I'm pretty sure this is how it works too. If you watch any DP mounts on cruisers and such when they're "firing" at planes they don't even turn or anything the shots just sort of magically shoot themselves out of your ship whereas when they're shooting at ships they'll actually track and fire and the shots will originate from the turrets themselves.

I hope that at some point when they do add the Alaska it's a cruiser simply because I want to see what happens when you push the cruiser AA button with a BBesque loadout of AA batteries while planes fly overhead

Welp, had my first teamkill today. Rounded a corner on Fault Line in the Mogami, fired a torp spread at the rear end of a Fuso that was 5km away and moving straight away from me through a narrow channel, then turned around and went to murder a Ranger. Over a minute later, I get notification that I sunk a friendly destroyer followed by him cursing at me in chat. How the gently caress did he manage to run into one? They must have been near the end of their range by then. :psyduck:

Also, the Mogami is fun so far. Feels like a more fragile, but also more responsive Cleveland that trades some AA and RoF for an extra turret and torpedo launchers with a lovely firing angle.

It depends on how much you trust your skill at leading enemy ships. Full broadside can be advantageous at long range because it gives your target less warning time to take evasive action.

Also the mogami's launcher might have a poo poo angle but it's loving 8 tubes on each side of your ship and they're the sick 10 km range torps.


It's cool as gently caress rolling by and giving a couple broadsides and then just dumping a loving ton of torpedoes on people as you zoom off.

If you take an S-shaped route you can fire off both tubes, dumping 16 torpedoes into the water. Then thrill as none of them hit because they get spotted 7km away.
