drzrma posted:How do the Japanese cruisers play, I loved the Phoenix and once I got used to it I think the Omaha is my favorite ship so far. The Cleveland is a completely different animal though, and while I like the extra AA and the guns it's just terribly piggy. I miss having torpedoes too, it's nice to have something to knife fight with if it comes to it. Haven't played with any of the Japanese stuff yet, wondering if it's worth putting some time in that direction. W/R/T lower tiers, I actually like the Kuma a lot with how many guns it could present broadside, too. I practically only launched torpedoes as an afterthought in it.

Man, cruisers and I just don't get along. I'm sure the St. Louis is a fine ship. Slow, with plenty of firepower. But it's just not clicking for me  Destroyers on the other hand.... That's my jam.

The St. Louis is battleship levels of slow, though. Try the Phoenix and Omaha is you want zippier cruiser play. In other news:  What are these "torpedos" you are speaking of anyway?

Magni posted:The St. Louis is battleship levels of slow, though. Try the Phoenix and Omaha is you want zippier cruiser play. Yeah, St. Louis is nice for the guns pointing everywhere aspect but the Phoenix was where things really started to be fun. Omaha makes things even better although it took me a couple games to get used to the slight loss in maneuverability. Nice to be able to actually take some hits and do a bit of brawling as opposed to the wet cardboard that destroyers are made of. I'm still not entirely sure about the Cleveland, that requires you to think about things a little differently. Anyone else have issues running the game and TS? I think that was my issue since I had three crashes requiring a complete reboot while I was on TS, and I've been able to be a terrible Langley driver in a couple matches now with no issues. It ran pretty smoothly before, the occasional random game crash like you'd expect from a beta but nothing major. Edit: Also my Clemson appears to be stuck in battle after the last crash, is that likely to resolve itself or is that a contact support kind of issue? drzrma fucked around with this message at 03:05 on Apr 30, 2015 |

Given that I frankly just don't care either way about the weeb stuff and that I'm a lazy gently caress, there's been no real reason to grab something else before the next patch anyway.

   Man the Fuso is satisfying. 420 drop atom bombs on people from 20km away erry day. I hope the next 2 ships are as good even though I have read reviews saying they are not. The majority of my games I am top exp with this ship.

Running the aimbot? When running the Fuso and I am not highest tier, I am sort of wondering whether I should first focus on cruisers first and knock them out instead of shooting higher tier BBs. That should allow my team mates in cruisers/destroyers to Also, I recently got the Minekaze and having 10 km torpedoes is kinda nice. On Domination map I go for the central cap, get it and shoot torpedoes through passages. Not having to wait to get in range is kinda great. The Ocean map in the Minekaze was surprisingly fun as well. It became a game of being outside detection range while shooting torpedoes outside of it. 1 Kongo and 1 Fuso went down to my torpedoes.

Cardiac posted:Running the aimbot? Yes, I suppose if they ban it I will have to learn to aim but it's just too tempting when I'm doing 40-60k damage in my first few salvos at extreme range 2 minutes into the match. Rarely do people bother to change course and seem content to just drive right into the murder solution. Whenever I see a BB fire at me at longish range I will immediately change course and speed somewhat, even in something as cumbersome as the Fuso this is effective. As for targeting Crusiers/Carriers, it depends on what I think is more of an immediate threat. Cruisers are nice soft targets but I always keep AP loaded if there are any BB targets present and I don't like to risk over penetration unless they are getting into torp range or are spending alot of time targeting me.

Ajaxify posted:I just bought the game and joined the TS. Can someone fix my permissions and or teach me how to boats? Good games dude. Keep moving on up, the US Cruisers own. Cardiac posted:Also, I recently got the Minekaze and having 10 km torpedoes is kinda nice. On Domination map I go for the central cap, get it and shoot torpedoes through passages. Not having to wait to get in range is kinda great. The love party ends with the Minekaze. The Mutsuki and Hatsuhara are both 2 turret wonders at the completed hull (The Hatsu having 2 double turrets though), and their glacial torpedo reload times make doing anything of note hard, especially when you try to bring those 2 turrets to bear and consistently outturn them. The Mutsuki in particular is a really mediocre ship, and it's stock torpedoes are WORSE than the Minekaze's upgraded ones (with a longer reload time). The only redeeming factor is its insane concealment, letting you sneak in to almost 6k on somebody before they'll spot you. You need to get situational awareness if you're going to use Japanese Destroyers, and don't gunfight anything that can beat you straight up. You need to also get good at reading how people are turning and predicting where they're intending to go, you can't just fire at the grey zone and hope for kills. Don't fire all your torpedoes at once either, unless you're guaranteed to hit a beached/super close target and you need the extra alpha strike. You oneshot basically every destroyer with one torpedo, no need to waste all of them and suffer for the next 90 seconds being useless and plinking away with HE at that Fuso you could have torpedoed. Once you get the long-lances on the Hatsuhara, you can start doing things again, but not a whole lot. I hear the Kagero is pretty good, no idea about the Fubuki just yet, but it can't be anywhere as bad as its been. Two 3 tube torp launchers and horrible turrets is hard to bear. American DDs are high intensity nonstop fun, though. All of them are absolute blasts to play.

Boy I can't wait till the TK penalty gets implemented. The Kongo got him before he could get to 7. Too bad about that game, we would have rolled the other team otherwise.

After using it for a while you should be able to get a good idea how and where to lead your shots. I know I had to reinstall the game a couple of times due to other issues and played without the mod and realized it is almost automatic to predict where you would have been placing the shots with the mod. By all means not as accurate but you should not be completely lost without it. Sidesaddle what program are you using to decompile the flash files if you don't mind me asking?

Other than getting to the Tier 10 why do I need to get US cruisers passed the Peniscola? The New Orleans is just garbage compared to it. Same guns, bit more range, same ROF, tiny bit more health, sees way more tier 10 games. Not liking this one bit. I suppose tiers 8 and 9 are going to be my speed bump to Des Moines goodness

So am I right looking at the stats that getting near a warsprite with planes might be a bad idea. Especially if there is any other ship with aa near it? 4x8 40mm guns doesn't look like something you want to get near.
