One can hope that the boost to the 127mm secondaries will make up for the loss in effectiveness of the Bofors. If it is a good buff, it gives US cruisers a really nice secondary purpose as aerial picket ships.

Just played a few battles this morning but so far it's much more fun than WoT. No snipe and camp fests yet. Hope they don't screw it up or make it horribly grindy. Is there going to be a wipe?

I'm not a fan of carriers, but I do think fighter aircraft should be able to strafe destroyers for semi-decent damage.Berious posted:Just played a few battles this morning but so far it's much more fun than WoT.

Get 50 battles done (making sure they're random battles, not co-ops against bots) and you get a T4 US premium BB. Plus don't forget to spend a buck on the Humble E3 Ticket for a cheap Murmansk.

manual carrier runs removed and re-activated with a tier 2 skill I guess that's not a huge deal but it does change everyone's first impressions of carriers.

There doesn't appear to be any mention of the word "gold" in that preview translation, maybe we can hold out hope that some of these things are bought with silver credits??????

Sidesaddle Cavalry posted:f2p means p2w! game is dead You'd think that premium ships, premium account, and gold gold sinks such retrain, dismount and free xp conversion would be enough to make a living without turning the game into a horrid p2w.

Some players will reach a specific vehicle and then tend to use that specific vehicle in most games forever. This makes their gold spending plateau out, with regards to those features.

BIG HEADLINE posted:I'm not a fan of carriers, but I do think fighter aircraft should be able to strafe destroyers for semi-decent damage. Historically, fighters could suppress AA by strafing the mounts. Giving them the ability to reduce efficiency or even destroy some mounts might be a nice change.

Is there going to be a wipe? Please elaborate on why it's more fun than tanks. I'm really interested in trying out WoWs, but I also can't imagine a super slow version of tanks with minimal cover and less interesting maps. (I say less interesting maps because what can they really do besides put some islands in there because, you know... it's water.)

M.C. McMic posted:Awesome, thank you! I got it. You drive boats and you have to think more about the shooting. Instead of a circle where you shell will try to hit any ground within that circle, you have to guesstimate the targets speed and direction, and lead appropriately. So the shooting is better in my opinion. Where you go and how you position yourself also involves more thinking then tanks, you want to point as many guns at the target as you can, but you don't want to give them your side at a favorable angle for them. You also have less impact on the game then in tanks. In tanks, you can carry the game yourself and win the game. In ships, that is a lot harder with the extended engagement times and the necessity to trade damage. You can win a ships battle by yourself, but it's less likely that you get the opportunity then in tanks. It's a good game, but it got sort of stale for me, since I was mostly playing alone or with friends that really didn't have the interest. I assume some people will disagree with me, these are just my personal opinions on the game and I am probably wrong. Consider what others say if they correct me, they are very likely to be right.

I'm quite surprised they didn't put the Shinano in as the tier X Japanese carrier, it seems like it would be the natural choice but i guess they are saving it for a premium ship?

Krogort posted:It's going to hurt US destroyer AA capabilities a lot, or do they have dual purpose main armament ? From the Nicholas up US destroyers are all equipped with the Mark 12 127mm(5")/38 calibre gun, which was historically a highly effective dual purpose gun. Like the 40mm Bofors and the 20mm Oerlikon, it became the gun so good they stuck it on everything.

just had my first decent match. Was fun to play with some folks that stuck together and didn't all die at once. I think I did a decent job of spamming torpedoes and smoke, while raining shells on my enemy. In the lower levels torps are pretty destructive. I wonder if at some point you are going to be given a limited amount so you can't just spam alleys. I really wish that as well as a land collision warning there was a friendly ship collision warning.. I've been hit and basically disabled from firing guns and torpedos towards enemys several times now, the guys don't even react to comign near me as I turn to avoid. (No it's not me.. I keep my eye on the map to stay away.. and ths happens while I"m going on a steady course. I've watched friendlies turn towards me. it's like bumper boats man.

As far as hitting other boats use shift to toggle zoom and keep better awareness of the idiots around you.

FYI if any of you use the Aslain modpack for WoWs, one of the OTM mods (version #1 (Altvision) by W03L0BED) in the current version (0.3.7) is causing the game client to crash with a BigWorld memory exception error. The other OTM mod is fine. E2add: Aslain just posted on his forums that ALL the flag mods are bugged out too.

Is it just me or is the statistics screen completely hosed? I've been trying to keep track of how many games I played so I can see how far I'm away from the 49 game cutoff for that battleship but it's only showing me that's I've played 11 games. I'm drat near level 6 and almost Tier 4 in the US so I've played far more than that. Even the external page is showing the same thing, plus only having killed 11 ships, which I know is completely wrong

So... did I win at Album Too bad WoWS doesn't have replays yet. This battle was insane. Started off nearly getting destroyed by 5 ships chasing me after the initial rush, then blasting distracted enemies one by one until one carrier was left who even torped me down to 1k health. When I finally reached him one gun and torpedo salvo oneshotted him Play more boats!
