Carriers have weird layouts, but you can't go wrong aiming near the stern. Start out shooting HE to light them on fire so they can't launch or land planes. Then shoot AP so that you'll do some real damage. The Ranger has a citadel in the usual spot, but apart from that I can't remember the details. Also, if you're a battleship, you're better off shooting your shells at something else. You can't afford to chase a carrier while getting pounded by its torpedoes.

OSad posted:CV games feel really borked right now. They definitely feel different in the way that if you want to do the cool torp spreads that the good CV players sometimes do to you, you have to get good at manually aiming them with alt and such. You need to outsmart your opponent, which is quite frankly not that hard. People in this game are dumb as poo poo. One of the things you can do, is separate your torpedo bombers. They don't HAVE to be on the same side of the map. Most people who play with a 3 fighter squade will keep 2 together on one side, and 1 on the other side. But as soon as they spot torpedo planes, they rush all fighters to it. What you need to do is use one of your torpedo squadron as a decoy. Engage his fighters with your 1 fighter. Keep in mind, you WILL lose that battle. But the point is not to win it. Its to keep one or more of his fighter squads busy. If you're lucky, your decoy torpedo planes will be able to launch a few torpedoes before being shot down. If not, it really doesn't matter because he's the decoy. try and use your remaining torpedo squad (hopefully on the other side of the map) to do the best drat torpedo run you can. Also, remember that allied cruisers are your friend (especially in higher tiers) thanks to their AA. Use your decoy torpedo planes to drag his fighters as close as possible to your allied cruisers and engage them there with your 1 fighter squad. You will still lose, but you will definitely make him think twice about following your planes anywhere. CV really are not that hard. It just takes a bit of planning, being able to outsmart another guy and a little bit of luck. Also, hang in there... The Langley is the worst carrier and every other carrier you will have is an improvement on the last one. Except maybe the ranger... I liked it, but people seem to bitch about it a lot. Insert name here posted:If it helps the Langley really sucks rear end It reminds me of a game I played in my lexington vs 2 Rangers. Both rangers were fighter fit and never even came close to slow me down. I think I had something like 24 torpedo hits in that match. Talk about them being loving useless. E: Please don't use POI.

I liked it, but people seem to bitch about it a lot. Lexington arbitrarily gets a much better plane distribution (two fighters, two torpedo bombers). This + the inherent superiority of higher-tier fighters means that one Lexington can equal two normal-spec Rangers while still being a highly dangerous damage-dealer. 3.1 update has almost everything I wanted, but they aren't addressing dive bombers or fighter mechanics. Oh well.

I was skimming through the latest patch info when I read about FF:quote:Other Updates New griefing tactic.. Willing putting yourself in the path of friendly torpedoes to see a destroyer or cruiser go down in flames with you. On another note, The Saipan is being removed and they are putting the independance in its place instead. I don't remember the Saipan much, but I don't think it was a bad carrier, was it? They added the Bogue to fill the spot of the independance.. I have literally never heard of that carrier before and I am too tired to use my google-fu. Does anyone have any info regarding this ship? Vengarr posted:Lexington arbitrarily gets a much better plane distribution (two fighters, two torpedo bombers). It was still 6 fighters to my 2. All they really had to do was assigned 2 fighters to each of my fighters, and use the remaining 2 to go after my torpedo planes. They completely failed at that which was the entire purpose of them being fighter fit. Dalael fucked around with this message at 04:18 on Apr 21, 2015 |

The Bogue is simply a Langly, expect the Bogue was not a converted cargo ship. This is mostly back in the days of navy field where the bogue was the introduction US carrier. Its another super light carrier, I think one got mistaken by a Japanese fleet as one of the fleet carriers, so they punched it with AP shells

It doesn't have the crazy firepower of the Fuso but it has absolutely hilarious secondaries. With captain and module upgrade they can get out to around 10km range.

The nagato secondaries are some serious poo poo and make it probably the best brawling ship in the game. You can drive right through enemy formations lighting bigger targets up with your main batteries while your secondaries smoke all cruisers and destroyers who want to try their luck.

For those of you wondering if this game is any good, it's basically like tanks, but significantly worse in every way. Imagine tanks, but way slower, allowing you to move in one dimension less, with much simpler spotting mechanics (you can't hide), and with terrible balance issues. Oh, and you know how 1-2% of your tank games end in annoying draws right? Wargaming realized their mistake and fixed it in boats... by multiplying the amount of draws tenfold. So games last 20 minutes, with the last 3-4 minutes being used at driving straight forward with no hope of reaching the enemy or capping them out. Currently going strong at 15% draws. its really cool and exciting.

My favorite detail with the draw rates is that last patch reduced the rate that you capped and got points from domination points. You'd think that the designers would consider players getting >10% draw rates on a 20 min timer to be something very very concerning but apparently getting a victory was actually too easy.

Asehujiko posted:How good is the Nagato? I can get it cheap but I've been badly burned by "upgrading" my Cleveland to a Pensacola Do you have a BB captain with Advanced Firing Training? If yes, put him on it, put the Secondary Battery Mod 2 on it and enjoy the fact that you have the most  battleship in the game right now. You have the heaviest and longest-ranged secondary battery in the game. 7km is the point at which destroyers and cruisers start to hate life around you. You are relatively maneuverable thanks to a fast rudder shift and no BB can dodge like you can. You have good armor. Your guns are inaccurate and not all that good at long range. Just angle yourself so that you can keep shooting with all guns, and move closer to the enemy nose-first to present the smallest target possible while your guns reload.Dodge torpedoes as they come and keep closing. Destroyers will hate you like the plague because your secondaries rip them to pieces. Cruisers will run away or die. Kongo will probably not run and die. Fuso can hurt you, but she can't run and will die once you get in close. Amagi can hurt you, but you can hurt her worse because she has lovely battlecruiser armor.

Players on the main forums wanted lower cap rates, got lower cap rates. I feel the issue isn't so much the speed of capping so much as the repulsion field that seems to surround every objective point in WoWS (judging by player behavior).

Have they mentioned anything about what the eventual "final" ship/country selection is going to look like? It's all but a given that they'll eventually add British ships and maybe German. Have they said anything in about adding other nation's ships, maybe as a subset of one of the larger nations? Like put some Regia Marina ships into the German tech tree, like how War Thunder has Italian planes under Germany. Or Dutch ships under the British tree.

Holy gently caress, I need to learn to screen pic my chat more often. I playing in my Aoba, which a ship I loving hate cuz I can't stand japanese ships. I'm focusing on some cleveland and don't notice than a friendly aoba cuts me off. So I plow right into it without really noticing. At that point, he decided to unload his torpedoes on me and completely miss. As we disengage, he shoots at me using his turrets. I replied by sinking his rear end with one torpedo salvo. A friendly cleveland nearby thinks I'm the aggressor so starts shooting at me. Cuz you know, there's not enough people on the red team, might as well add more enemies. I sunk his rear end too, but end up sinking at the same time. Guy starts bitching at me in chat, completely unable to understand that I was only retaliating to both their stupid rear end. His whole line of insult can be resumed to this: Buy a life. Get a girlfriend. This is just loving sad. If you're going to go attack someone, don't loving cry over chat if he sinks you and for the love of god.. Learn better insults. E: Lol. He just contacted me after the game.
