The Locator posted:My first game in my bone stock Fuso, first salvo on an enemy Fuso right at the edge of max range. 30k+ damage, 2 citadel hits, wrecked a turret, and some other crit. Good times. Easily the best salvo I've ever had. I just had my first game in my Fuso stock, and dear god, this ship punches so hard and straight. I don't think I ever missed out on more than three shots per salvo at a pretty good range, and they nearly all went in. Highlight of the game was when I shot at a Nagato at around 15 kilometers and took out 15k health with each salvo. Meanwhile she could just not finish me off for the life of her. The Fuso may be slower than the Kongou, but it feels much more accurate, deadly, and armored.

The Fuso isn't as accurate as the Kongo, but it makes up for that by firing 12 shots. The Kongo is more accurate at all ranges (The Fuso has trouble between mid and max range.) Of course there's nothing like blapping most boats in a single salvo! The Nagato is interesting for different reasons. It's secondaries are insane. On an open ocean battle I killed 2 and almost a third destroyer just with them when they went after our carrier. Only reason I didn't kill the third was because another cruiser got the last shot in.

So I'm not sure if I like the Pensacola. The bigger guns help against battleships, but in every other way it seems to be worse than the Cleveland. It even has fewer hitpoints.

 A mogami should never be ignored. 2 destroyers, 2 cruisers and a nagato all down because they weren't paying attention.

If you don't fish for the three-boat package (and it's not as good of a deal now so I don't know why you would), I really enjoy playing the Gremyashchiy. I *don't* like the Sims as much because a T7 destroyer, no matter how maneuverable, generally gets loving wrecked in upper-tier matches. They honestly need to offer more xp for being a spotter in this game...like an *actual* eyes-on spot from a ship makes everyone's fire more accurate than a scout plane's spot, or *something*.

If you can't dodge shots with the Sims at 9/10km out that's on you If you're closer then stop being so close since you want to be at around 9 to 10km out anyway in a US DD to plunge your gun salvoes onto the decks of BBs for sick damage. 1k to 2k damage per salvo doesn't seem like much but it adds up when you're belting them out ever 4.5s. El Disco posted:So I'm not sure if I like the Pensacola. The bigger guns help against battleships, but in every other way it seems to be worse than the Cleveland. It even has fewer hitpoints. Like, you'll occasionally even get citadel hits on BBs and it's great every time

Well I know that when I was first learning to play US DDs I kept getting wrecked because I'd always try to charge in and get close, which can work out fine in the early tiers but once you hit mid tiers it becomes a real bad idea. Somewhat counter-intuitively, especially since the game itself emphasizes torpedo attacks for DDs, in a US DD you basically want to ignore your torpedoes except for attacks of opportunity where you find yourself in range of something (and at higher tiers when your torpedo range gets better to force enemies to manuever to their disadvantage). For the most part, you shouldn't go in and close the range, thinking that you should torpedo something. I sometimes still do this and it's ended badly almost every single time. Instead, your guns are deceptively good and you should be non-stop shooting at things. Use AP on everything except if you find yourself at close range with a BB because you won't be punching through the armour then obviously. There might be a couple of cruisers which can bounce your shots too (probably US ones since I've citadel penned a Mogami multiple times up close before) but I'm not too sure as I make sure to stay the gently caress away from them since up close they will just tear you up. I don't have a Grem but I imagine its playstyle is similar to that of the mid tier US DDs: good guns but slow turn rate on them. Though IIRC your torpedoes are better in exchange for an even slower turn rate on the guns. Insert name here fucked around with this message at 03:35 on Apr 20, 2015 |

Is the Fuso turret upgrade worth getting? I'm not sure if the increase in rate of fire is worth the slower turret turning.

Zhanism posted:Is the Fuso turret upgrade worth getting? I'm not sure if the increase in rate of fire is worth the slower turret turning. An imperceptible increase in your fire rate for nearly three extra seconds to swing your turrets around? Yeah, no. I almost feel like that RoF increase in the upgrade should be a bit bigger, but someone screwed up when they were putting the numbers in or something. The trade-off's not worth it in any way.

You get 5% faster reload in exchange for about 5% slower turret rotation. It's pretty much a matter of opinion, neither change is big enough for one option to be obviously wrong. Which happens to you more, waiting for your guns to load while aimed at an enemy, or waiting for your guns to turn around while loaded?

Grims want to stay farther away if possible. US DDs can get in pretty close if needed in that tier, and hemmorhage torps to get out with a kill, and generally don't want to be taking potshots at max range because shell hang time is a bear. The Grim has much less shell hang time and generally better punch on its guns, and it can lay down effective fire at much longer ranges than a US DD. Against Japanese DDs it can close to mid range for yet more effectiveness but it's not necessary. Against battleships they can go close for torp runs if needed, but even against cruisers they can throw out long range fire for harassment and they don't have the same ability to dodge and fire, so they want to stay a bit farther back.

Once wargaming gets all the modelling correct, we'll probably find out it is like some of the WoT turret upgrades. More armored turrets at the cost of slower turn rate.

Compared to the Cleveland's turret upgrade, which has a very large RoF boost but an absolutely horrendous 180 penalty to it. In a ship where you're going to be maneuvering/rotating your turrets a lot more. I've been having trouble with the stock Cleveland's turret traverse already.

EponymousMrYar posted:The Fuso's upgrade is a decent give or take. The slight RoF increase is larger than you think because of how long BB reloads are and the 180 turn time isn't that noticeable because you should be mitigating that via maneuvering in the first place. The Cleveland is very bad when it doesn't spit out shells as much as it can. It's cannons aren't very good. You need the rof upgrade to be competitive.

Man I don't know what is up with the game lately; these past two days almost every single game I've been in has been 13v11 one way or the other with no real tier discrepancy between the teams either. Also the most ridiculous thing happened literally just now when my Farragut got one-shot by a dive bomber. How come my DBs never do that poo poo?

How does XP at all work? I've been doing super well in various tier IV ships with multiple kills, torpedo hits, citadels, fire etc etc. But I only ever pull in 4-600 xp, nothing like the screenshots in this thread. Is it just purely about damage done? Should I target BB's more?

Had a wonderful match in the Fuso last night. I was cruising around the outer edges of the "south Pacific island" map when three Omahas in a squadron together come steaming around into view at extreme range. I manage to put the first one at half-HP in one volley; he goes "what the gently caress was that" in text chat before I sink him with the second volley. The second Omaha dies as fast as the first; two volleys and multiple citadel hits. The third one dies the same way, also complaining in text chat. But the thing that really made the match gold was the fact that while I was busy fighting the Omahas, I realized I had ended up practically on top of the enemy carriers, who were pushing fairly far forward. So I'm laughing and praying I can kill them before their torpedo bombers get back. I'm doing well; I've set both carriers on fire with HE so they can't recover their bombers, and I'm close enough to one of the carriers that my secondaries are tearing big shreds of hull off him while my main guns reload. There's really no path forward for the carriers at this point... Unless one of them does the only logical thing, and turns and rams me, killing us both. Which is exactly what the closer of the two carriers did, in a beautiful illustration of the value of ramming as a last-ditch desperation move. Goodspeed, carrier driver, godspeed and well done.

At long range your shells are plunging through the low armor decks, and do massive damage. I regularly get 3-6 hits per salvo (Fuso) right at the edge of max range, and get 1 or 2 crits (or a citadel) on almost every salvo, and only other long-range BB's can shoot back. At medium range I get about the same number of hits but fewer crits, and also take a lot more return fire. As long as I'm in range of something to shoot at, there is no reason to move closer, as it can only make things worse typically.
