So they're selling the Warspite for $31.06 in the Premium store. The Warspite costs 6500g, an amount of sea gold you can currently buy for $29.79. So evidently the extra port slot is worth $1.27.

Well going by the $29.79/6500 gold number and assuming one slot is not on sale (i.e. 300 gold) then an extra port slot is valued at $1.37. So uh, I guess you save $0.10?

Haven't watched the video yet, but yeah any run where only 2 or 3 of my 12 torpedoes land is what I consider a terrible drop because it takes like a 2.5/3m to round trip.

Another question, do guns seem insanely loud to anyone else? I'm having to turn the SFX slider so far down that I can barely hear anything else, just to make the guns tolerable.

Even so, they must be selling a lot of them. At least two Warspites on each side in my last couple of games while trying to finish grinding the Furutaka to Aoba.

Can someone please tell me that the top hull heavily improves the Myogi? 3x2 guns really sucks when 4 of those shots decide to go wherever the gently caress they want as long as it's not a boat so I'm hoping it at least gets more maneuverable or something. At least it's faster and has longer range than the Kawachi.

If you click on the hull upgrade on the modules screen, the ship stats on the right are changed to reflect the new values, even if you aren't actually unlocking it that second - manouevrability is measured in rudder shift time

Top hull on the Myogi is big because you get another 3 km range and she feels more accurate with her guns.

Well the first hull increases maneuverability a little bit at least. The scout plane I thought was meh until I found out that a scout plane greatly increases the range of your guns and gives you a bird's eye view camera.

The Kawachi desperately needs a buff, it can't successfully fight anything in the same tier, let alone anything in tier 4

United States Navy Battleship upgrades : Range versus so called Accuracy, discuss.

As they're slow I'm inclined to say Range would be best but the dreaded shotgun effect happen quite often with guns above 300mm so I'm confused. It would be nice to have actual numbers.

Captain:
* Both first-tier skills
* I say pick Aiming Expertise unless you're a genius torpedo person, Torpedo Armament Expertise is still great but it's better to pick it up later when torps start taking like 3 minutes to reload
* Defensive Fire is pretty much the only choice at third tier, Situation Awareness isn't very efficient for cruisers because your important time is spent blowing stuff up and giving away your position
* Pyromania's still nice, but take Advanced Firing Training if you really enjoyed having Defensive Fire, Vigilance isn't worth 4 points because from the Aoba on up you get to launch a seaplane that loiters for quite a while and spots torpedoes for you
* You'll be way past the Aoba by this tier, but Jack of All Trades to reduce Defensive Fire and Damage Control's cooldown lengths

Upgrades:
* Always always get Main Battery Modification 1 for the various reduced chances of bad stuff happening to your primary weapons.
* Gun Fire Control System Modification 1 doesn't have any drawbacks but sometimes can feel like a placebo upgrade. Main Battery Modification 2 is a trap because it makes you take longer to reload.
* Propulsion Modification 1. Going fast in this game not only affects your speed but also your ability to turn.
* Same reasons for Propulsion Modification 2, unless you're an idiot like me and only care about flipping around to shoot only half of a broadside that I forgot to bring to bear before contact. (Steering Gears Mod 2 is basically a speed sacrifice for wider zig-zag maneuvers.)

So I asked about this last patch, how have the skills you need for an Aoba changed since? Also would you use a similar build on an Aoba and an Atago?

5 losses in a row with the Tenryu, this is so opposite of my experience playing the game the first time through.

I don't now what else I can do, last game I had 5 kills... 3 as the only ship left. Oh well, this many lovely games and I'm finally done with the ship.

I lost every single game except for the last one i played with the Tenryu so i can say i really liked that ship.

On the upside the Kuma is amazing after it.

Tenryu is a great ship, little fragile, but I treat it like the fatter cousin of a DD. Especially since it gets 7km torps like the Wakataka

My last game (for now) in the St. Lo was an OK one.. only one sinking but 7 citadel hits, so a decent 1100 xp before double.

Unfortunately, that means it's time for the Phoenix again... ugh.

I watched an ally ship round an island and be presented with 2 targets. At 7 km, a Hashidate that was brought into a tier 3 game. At 3km, the remaining enemy Kawachi with 15k health. He was in a Tenryu, and had time for a single torpedo launch before being killed by the Kawachi. He fired both launchers at the Hashidate and then exploded. Not a single torpedo came close. Ally Kawachi dropped a handful of shells on the Hashidate 20s later.

Thankfully our remaining BB just barely sunk the ship before dying from fire.

The tier 2 IJN destroyer is so insanely good I almost don't see a reason to move up the tree with it. 7km torpedoes that fire every 24 seconds and you get to shoot at ships that can't even begin to dodge them.

I am giving up on the Aoba for now until more non-poopsockers catch up. Two of the five games in it have been 7vs7 with tier 9 carriers on the other team. One of the games had a Taiho, North Carolina, and Nagato division. I imagine it is even worse outside of primetime.

No, the scout increases your range. You can see the dotted range circle grow on the minimap. I am not sure what to think about it. The change in perspective throws off my aim.

:livintrope:
The map HotSpot is beyond broken at anything above tier3. You have the teams split in half and spawn like this, one half of team a is NW, other half is SE. Team b has half their team sw and the other half east / alittle northeast. The match started with my New York, a yubari, and a couple other small cruisers in the south east spot and the enemy was with in range in their spots. Long story short with in 1min of match start I had 4 BBs, 4 cruisers, 2 Sims DDs, and a carrior all after me. Meanwhile the rest of my team is way north west on the other side of a massive island. I held out for awhile and hurt 3 of the battleships, and nuked a cruiser or two, but the constant fires from the cruiser he spam and big hits from BBs wore me down after about 5 mins of fighting.

I'm pretty sure Tenryu is Japanese for Citadel, because almost every shell from my St Louis pens them.

They really need to make the map edge run ships aground the way the islands do. These map broder hijinks are getting old.

Also,the Ishizuki owns. Its got a crap 12.8km gun range, but it has 10 great cannons, is fast and turns better than any of the other Jap BB's. It just eats Phoenix's and Kuma's at 10km.

You have some bad luck. I have been tearing it up with my Aoba. I mostly get into games with Atlantas and Atagos and they just melt to my Aoba if I keep a good angle.

I have to say the Aoba has really surprised me. It's armor will bounce almost anything off the side AP wise.
I remember is being decent in CBT, but I didn't have to play it a much as I have now.
