The 750Ti's entire gimmick is being the most powerful card that doesn't need any power source other than the connection to the motherboard, so if you can't get a new PSU because the motherboard connector is proprietary, it's the best pick.

The 750Ti still recommends that you have a power supply rated for up to 300 watts peak power output, but as other people have mentioned you can now just swap out your OEM power supply for a better ATX power supply unless you've got one of those compact desktop enclosure Dells.

ok so where are you folks going to pull up these per ship damage stats ? Something in-client or a 3rd party website ?

Go to the main world of warships page, highlight over your name in the top right, then click my profile.

On the 3rd tab there is a list of ship types you can expand and see all the ship stats.

Ahh I have looked at theb stopped looking at a psu update because I had read that their mobos use a proprietary connector. Maybe ill grab a Better psu (stock is 300w) and card then.

Its a full tower when I got it I made sure I wasnt going to have to deal with slim form factor crap that need slim cards and has no room for drives.

Yeah, years ago Dell used to use an alternate pin-out for their PSUs - I found it out the hard way when I plugged in a 400W into my old 1998-era tower and only smelled burning plastic in addition to the system not powering on - thankfully it didn't damage anything. Had to buy a specially-wired Silencer unit from PC Power & Cooling at a premium. But now they're just using standard ATX.

Since I can't PM you, you're in luck - the 750Ti is on sale at the moment: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487024

Main thing to check I think would be the motherboard power connector.

I wonder if they fixed the pyromania retraining thing. I don't even know if it was real but while my Hatsuharu commander was retraining I consistently did loads of fire damage. Whenever I play this game next I guess I'll retrain him again for :science:
Also I don't know what wargaming did but the Hatsuharu is fun now. It's nice to have worthwhile guns and the torpedoes aren't as bad as they used to be. If you fight bad players in US destroyers (most of them) you can win gun duels thanks to the higher shell velocity.

It's really awkward. You can beat Omahas consistently if you only fight one on one and control the range and angle carefully. Otherwise it has a hard time accomplishing much. I don't know why it doesn't even get the final configuration, with 3x2 instead of 6x1 guns. It's not like it needs lovely firing arcs on top of the low volume of fire and glacial gun traverse.
There's nothing about the ship that justifies having less effective damage per minute than a Kongo, except I guess that ~battleships were historically the most useful ships in wwii.~

Yea, if I can control the range I'm fighting at and everyone is kind enough to show up on the correct side of the ship, it can actually lay out damage. Provided shells land somewhat near were they are supposed to, which seems to be a pretty huge issue with this.
If the turrets could actually turn in a slightly more reasonable fashion, I don't think it would be too bad.

It was a stock New Mexico, on account of being my first battle in it and all, saving the free xp to get out of the Hosho horrow show.

Even with the upgrade it's short, and just like in tanks any bote that has mandatory equipment upgrades just to do its job is not a good bote. Equipment should be to make ships better at something, not make them just scrape into playable.

Stock US Battleships get out ranged by Cruisers (apart from Atlanta) until you hit Colorado (Tier 7). Meanwhile Japanese Battleships enjoy long range from lower tiers.

So a Kongo wrecks a half health Kuma with a broadside, and the Kuma driver complains that it was BS since "that was on the nose of the ship, where it has the heaviest armor."

First of all, no. Second, you're in a loving Kuma. Destroyers can citadel you with HE. WG should have never taken out the armor values in the port screen.

edit: just watched a North Carolina with ~50k health ram a Nagato with 5k health. Of course they both died. :psyduck:

Hold alt, then hit numpad enter, and release alt and hit enter again to get rid of the chat prompt. Bam, perma-alt until you hit enter again.

Actually it turns off if you tap alt again which I have a tendency to do while playing. Thankfully it's a non-issue now, thanks demon.

This is pretty much a fact of life when battleshipping, get used to it. :smith: It's not so bad from the 3x turrets but it happens all the drat time from any ship that has 2x turrets.

I don't mind missing shots at 10+ km but I loving expect at least half to hit within 3 km. It's just infuriating how the shots just miss Destroyers or Cruisers and they just circle you around for kill because secondaries are useless as well. And yes I had to play at close range because all my team mates were either useless and ran or died.

e: Just got New Mexico, accuracy seems to be only slightly better. Still can't shoot past 5 km without expecting shells to spread so much.
e2: Also what ammo do I use? I've been using AP but the damage has been pretty much 1,050 apart from 1 or 2 lucky RNG to citadel. And yes I've been shooting at citadel, so it's a matter of hitting first instead of spreading everywhere. I just can't use New Mexico because it has poo poo accuracy, poo poo penetration and poo poo damage. Last game for example, 28 hits 18 penetrations and only 24,718 damage :psyduck: It took me 10 hits to sink a New Orleans with 5,000 hp.

Target - Destroyer: Use HE at all ranges

Target - Cruiser: Long range (ie long enough for shells to plunge downwards), use AP, short range, use HE

Target - Battleship of similar tier: Long range, use AP, short range, use AP and aim for the waterline beneath turrets (i think). Alternative is to alternate between AP and HE to get a good amount of fires going and turrets wrecked while still having some citadel chances

Target - Battleship of much higher tier: Use HE at all ranges

I'm very new to the game, just started playing thursday, but it SEEMS like HE is better for every thing right now. I always seem to get lit on fire and the damage seems to be comparable.

A few small things of note, why isn't there a "compare stats to current ship thing" when you mouse over a ship in the tech tree? It seems like a no brainer so you can plan out what you want to drive in the future. Why can't i move my ships around into different orders in port? I'd like to be able to hide ships i'm not going to be using, but not selling off screen or something. Also the gun sounds are not anywhere NEAR as powerful as i would imagine, it sort of feels like i'm shooting a pea shooter sometimes. When a tank rolled by or shot in battlefield 3 you could really HEAR how terrifiying it was, and these guns are much bigger.

Other then that, i'm having a ton of fun. This is much more finished and polished then i would have assumed from a beta. I love the fact you have to constantly move around and do stuff in this, its like an anti camper game. I had more fun in my first mission here then i did in the 4 or so hours i tried world of tanks just due to not having to hide in bushes.

He was replying to someone talking about the New York battleship. With cruisers, you generally only want to use AP when shooting at another cruiser or battleship at long range, but 100% HE is also a good choice (especially with smaller, rapid firing guns). With destroyers it's HE all day, every day.

The Kongo is really heads and shoulders above its competitor. Better range, same guns, better speed and maneuverability. No idea how the protection measures up but if you play it right he never gets to shoot at you anyway.
