Experience payouts seem to be a lot lower than they were yesterday. Anyone else noticing that? EDIT: Disregard. I just reinstalled last night and the client defaulted me to Co-Op and I didn't notice. What a waste of XP multipliers. ubermensch fucked around with this message at 17:09 on Jun 29, 2015 |

With the Arkansas/Wyoming don't ever bother trying to penetrate battleships at close range, even with perfect angle. Though at long range you can citadel Myogi with AP. Meanwhile Myogi won't have trouble citadeling yourself at close range so try to avoid these situations.

TehKeen posted:I want to play American DDs but it's just loving impossible right now. The torps are so short range they're suicide and you're not even guaranteed to hit because they're so slow. The Clemson has decent guns, but the range is so short it causes the same problem. If I were to be ignored, I'd be a loving monster but no, the enemy team is always in groups of 3+ so you get slaughtered before you can do any appreciable damage. I can't ambush either, because every time I try SOMEONE on the enemy team spots me and pubs are too alert. BIG HEADLINE posted:Yep - just was able to log in and the Atago and Atlanta are gone from the in-game store. Ha ha...gently caress Wargaming.  Life sucks at T6 USN DD for me right now when I end up in a game with 8 Atagos, 2 Atlantas, and the only other people who actually grinded up to that level are in CVs or Colorados. I still manage, but it's a lot more running than I like.A few more matches and I'll have 14km guns with the L4 Commander upgrade, though

I am now getting 108ms ping to boats. This is significant as I live about 80 miles north of Syndey and am lucky to get 180ms to a good west coast US server. I usually ping 230ms to NA west. I don't know what they gently caress they've done but if they can do it in tanks too I will never ever say a bad word about WG ever again.

Krogort posted:Found this, what's not to love about the Zuihou. I know, right? It's not like the Zuiho was a tier higher than everything else in that match and thus should be extremely dangerous, or several of them completely ignoring the incoming planes warning and sailing in a straight line without making even a token attempt to dodge or anything. No, clearly that was the most OP poo poo ever and needs to be nerfed more. It's not like a Kongo in a tier 3-4 match tends to devastate enemy teams or anything. Oh, wait... I know it's shocking, but amazingly carriers don't even have guns to fall back on to do damage like destroyers do, so having a roughly ~50% hit rate is pretty acceptable. I'm also laughing at you thinking that was point blank, as it wasn't actually much off the range automatic currently drops at. Anyone who has played most of the CBT knows what real point blank looks like, even discounting the fact that manual also no longer allows spreads to be narrowed, and that's gone. THOSE spreads were the type that even destroyers and cruisers couldn't reliably dodge out of, while these really weren't. Hell, it's also at the tier where there is still no AA worth mentioning and most ships maneuver like pigs, so using it as an example of how horrible carriers are overall is particularly disingenuous.

Just had a game in my Grem where most of my team went full retard and died without accomplishing anything. Luckily we had a tier VII jap carrier and the enemy team had none. In the end it was him and me vs 5 enemies. I ended up with 3 kills, he had 8 total and we won

The riverboat of doom is still a glorious sealclubbing machine. For extra kicks: Basic Firing Training now works on *primaries and secondaries* up to 155mm. Throw in Fire Prevention, High Alert, Basic Maintenance and a damage control mod upgrade and laugh while you truck through T3 matches getting slightly singed while you burn down the enemy team with your machinegun broadside.

The only problem with carriers is that there aren't enough of them, and enough people overall in higher tiers, to achieve the necessary population for the matchmaker to function properly. Once the population picks up, and the non-poop sockers reach their tier 4 and 5 carriers, it will even out.

They still need to adjust the tier disparity in carriers. Had a game earlier where there were two Langleys versus one Bogue. The Langleys sent all their fighters against the Bogue's at the start of the game and did not kill a single plane.

The Langleys sent all their fighters against the Bogue's at the start of the game and did not kill a single plane. I noticed something similar with ship AA vs planes. Specifically, in my tier VI Cleveland I could completely slaughter tier V planes, do good damage against tier VI and basically be unable to even scratch tier VII and up planes. It seems to be heavily hitpoint based and the tier level is very high.

Every round in this always feels like a runaway game. Win or lose, it never feels like there is a game that could go either way more then a minute or 2 in. I think anyone that gives an enemy a First Blood medal more then twice a day should have their speed limited for the first 2 minutes of a game just to keep them from suiciding.

cheese posted:I think a large part of that is how difficult it is to avoid damage. Once a team has a ship/health deficit, it isn't like WoT where you can use armor, technique, etc to avoid a ton of damage and carry hard. The correct way to avoid this of course is to put up a strong initial engagement formation in the right place at the right time and coordinate fire with pubbies *kills self*

I love fighting these Atago's in my Kongo. As soon as they are within about 15km, they will start chasing you. Problem is that they are only about 3 knots faster than you and your AP shells just go right through them.

Personally, Its not that manual dropping is a problem, its that you can manual drop torps ridiculously close (under 1km), the change that increased the commit circle was useful so obviously they reverted that - and if you're in a battleship there's pretty much no way that you're not going to take at least 1 torp hit from someone who knows what they are doing. This is of course assuming the best and that you've tried to dodge and they've only fully acted once your committed to turning a certain direction, otherwise you'd be getting hit by all of them. There's always counter play to CV's and ways to deal with torps in general, but you cant really do much against someone whos invested 15 minutes in watching a youtube video about manual torping. There's just no counter play to it which is what is frustrating. Thankfully, most people are idiots (like myself) and can't do it, but when you run into it its extremely frustrating.

I think its the inevitability of it all. I see the bombers coming from 15km and I don't feel like there is much I can do other than try to make sure its only 2 or 3 that hit me and not all 6.
