Or maybe this. I guess I'll alternate for now and see which gets better results.

Iirc it's using code scraped from when they had it in for testing in alpha, so if wg changes the way they expose information that could take it down for a while.

Wtf. WG are truly useless. They said it was disabled in this patch. I've been enjoying a few games where people are now, strangely, much less accurate compared to a couple days ago.

The thing is, you don't need to use it. Thanks to Orange Juche, we are now aware of a function on your keyboard called: The Alt key.

Its awesome, gives you a lot of information and will allow you to land a lot of shots you normally wouldn't. Give it a try, it certainly helped me and I suck at shooting guns.

They said it was disabled in the next major patch with a whole bunch of stuff we don't have yet, and I think the most recent one was mostly bug fixes.

Not going to lie, "crazy future hud bullshit" is the exact reason I never installed any hud mods for WoT.

I killed two DD's, a Phoenix, and a Myogi with my Cleveland in a match last night while protecting our sole carrier. The entire time my team was bitching in chat about the useless Cleveland hiding in back, even as my kill count went to 4 they were crying. The carrier guy was fairly happy though.
As someone who drives CVs a lot please do not stick back to defend CVs. If they're in a place that protecting them requires you to deliberately hang back either the side they're driving up collapsed or they're idiots who drive off on their own then complain when something inevitability sneaks up on them.

I am so hit or miss with battleships I don't even know if an aim mod will help me. Lately in the Fuso I can barely do 4000 damage a salvo, but then I have off days where I one-shot Kongos at 20km.

I didn't hang back, I was engaged in the center until I saw those four ships flanking, so I turned to cut them off and murder them. Having the carrier be there was a sweet bonus because they were so intent on getting it that I barely took any damage at all.

Not any of the major ui overhauls no. IIRC I did use a small mod to display the HP of enemy tanks in numeric values (rather than percentages) back before it was rolled into the base UI but I think that was it.

Pubbies intentionally block my torpedoes in probably half my destroyer games and it might be annoying if the tears weren't so consistently funny.
edit: When a friendly destroyer tries to interpose itself between me and my target I intentionally sink the friendly destroyer so that might be a factor.

There is no in game consequence atm. However, if the player reports you, wargamming may choose to ban you. Remember, this is closed beta... I'd say who cares. Sink whoever you want and claim you needed to test something out.

The ap changes coming next patch is going to make this list quite interesting. The atlanta for example will probably be flinging he mostly. Same with the gearing (though, lol at it having a higher dps than the yamato).

They said they are upping the RoF on the senjo so that should help it be more competitive to the des moines. I also see why I'm enjoying the mogami so much. Pretty solid dps there as well. Though, looking at it, I wonder why the ibuki gets a slower rof without changing gun size or alpha. The myoko is faster firing than the mogami at the cost of belt armor (this will be flipped next patch though which would make more sense). And then you go to the ibuki which has the same belt armor as the mogami, but fires her guns slower.

Edit: ah, the ibuki shaves 10s or so off her turret rotation. That would do it kind of.

Unless there's a good increase in deck armour they'll still probably be able to pen BBs at their max range due to how extreme the angle is on the 5 inchers and how (relatively) good the pen is on the shells. I wonder how the armour changes will affect them versus CA/CLs though; RIP being able to citadel a Mogami in a Farragut probably.

Ibuki shoots the same as the Mogami, but with a longer turret turn time. Apart from that, it's just better aa and torpedoes, which are pretty minor upgrades.

The problem is what she gets from stepping up in caliber isn't nearly as much as the Pensacola gets from a similar drop in dpm. Her shells are more effective per point of raw damage but not by that much.

I wonder if the new armour changes + addition of US BBs will make the jump from 14 to 16 inchers more noticeable.

Hopefully, the 16s currently feel a bit limp and it really should make an immediate multiple km in immune zone difference.

gently caress! Sometimes I just can't loving understand this RNG bullshit. I can never hit anything long range with m y Nagato. Its ridiculous. Its not that I have bad aim or anything like that. If it was a matter of sucking at aiming, I wouldn't care as much. But when every single fuckign shot is perfectly aimed for the middle of the ship, but all god drat shells hit water on both sides of the ship its just infuriating. What pisses me off the most is when I'm fighting another Nagato at long range, and while my shots just land on both side, his hit non-stop.
