The Grem is super fast and DD play is fun, buy the russian boats on the russian video gameCardiac posted:What I liked about the aimbot mod I think shooting is extremely gratifying and also tends to be easy as gently caress against most opponents who don't seem to know that they can turn their boats.

Cardiac posted:And compared to tanks it is still pretty bad. Even arty in WoT, flawed as it is, is more intuitive than how the ranging is implemented. If you find hitting stuff hard you are just bad. Not sure what to tell you. Also saying that arty had any kind of ranging in WoT is a joke because it had not. Here is what you can do if waiting 20 (10 at max?) seconds bores you: Don't play battleships. Cruisers are fast, fun, you can miss without it costing you half a minute. Or even better, destroyers.

Welcome to the new patch. Also, playing the Atlanta is basically this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_ZeD40Rg8A

The overhead mod is more than enough aim assistance for me. Especially since it makes it easy to deal with turning ships or ships coming in at a weird angle.

Seconding the overhead mod recommendation. If anything, it helps you more than the aimbot because you can actually dial in the range of something.

The American carriers are fun, until you realise you've already shot down all the planes and now you have next to no ability to do anything about all the botes still on the map

They are also only fun if there isn't an american carrier a tier higher than you.

The people playing mid-high tier US battleships really are the worst, it's amusing seeing two full New Mexico/Colorado platoons run away at 21 knots because a cruiser was spotted.

rossmum posted:Good SKY CANCER But for real, they nerfed manual torpedo drops hard and barely buffed dive bombers. And US battleships are hard as gently caress to bomb despite being so slow because they can turn on a dime. They're also packed to the brim with AA after a few tiers. They were already barely being played. They're going to be practically extinct for a while.

I got back my Cleveland w/o the full up commander, no mods.. nothing. Like I had just bought it.

I swear every time I take my Ranger out I get into a match with no CVs on the other team. At least I got to burn down a New Mexico and Wyoming, and got the arsonist achievement off the New Mexico. Also said Wyoming managed to solo a friendly fuso with twice as much health as him while he was burning down.

I dont get the carrier hate, I have been exclusively been playing Jap CV's since the patch and I Love It. The American CV air superiority is bad and kills fun but that just makes it a waiting game. I am 3k from a Shokaku and I still have my Rjuryo because that thing carries lower tier battles so much. I enjoy manually aiming my torp planes much more than my destroyer or cruiser shots.

The stock Wyoming has a secondary gun sticking out its rear end. Pity the range is only 3 km, though. Also the assgun is dropped in favor of AA in the 1940s hull.

I was so afraid that with the changes to ap, the atlanta was goinjg to be nerfed. But no, the he changes made up for it. How to Atlanta: That is with the 1.5x and premium time. I'll post the replay in a bit if interested. The first 3 kills were two destroyers and a new orleans. The two destroyers completely locked up when they realized I was in their smoke cloud with them and just shredded them with no really retort from them for it. The new orleans after getting mauled a bit before I got distracted by the dds was trying desperately to run away when I finished the dds. He didn't make it far. That was followed by a battleship and a cruiser near the end that helped push our cap points up to finish the game. It was hilarious.

With the new friendly fire rules I want to throw myself in front of all friendly torpedoes and berate my IJN teammates for attempting to harm the majestic BB thriving in its natural habitat. I would need to start a new account and name myself the Sea Shepard. Hey, who wants to start the (SSCS) clan when the game goes live?

Been playing this today and it's very fun. However, my last game in my japanese destroyer I couldn't rotate my turrets or shoot them. I couldn't aim or fire torpedos either. It was as if I was holding down RMB the whole time--my turrets never rotated. It's probably something obvious in retrospect but I can't figure out what the hell was happening. e: Is there ammo buying in this game like tanks? I couldn't find it anywhere. There was a 0 next to my reticle on my gun I think? Could that be it? Sorry for the newbie q's Mahasamatman fucked around with this message at 05:40 on May 17, 2015 |

Totally unresponsive turrets is a known bug with the game, can happen to any ship (ask me about this happening to my Wyo one match ). Ammo load-outs are not a thing yet, but will be at some point. Currently you just get charged credits for firing shells out of your magically never ending on-board supply.

One good thing with all the American BB's is how good hunting has been for my Grem. You'd think that in a straight gun fight with a BB the DD would lose. You'd be wrong so so wrong.
