There's a EU channel in game as well, it's called Goons and it's the one with actual people in. Edit: well, there was one before the one made above, no pw either

El Disco posted:That's how it used to be in CBT. But they changed the wording on it to affect ALL guns 155mm and below. I can confirm that it does indeed drop the reload speed on the Atlanta from 5s to 4.5s. And Advanced Firing Training ups the range on the Cleveland to around 17.4km (with an almost 18s shell travel time Oh, sweet. How come the Cleveland has slower shells than the Omaha? Same caliber, longer range, lower velocity? Makes no sense

I was getting pretty pissed off with Battleships, in the New York at the moment and constantly having problems landing hits, getting torped at inopportune times and generally having a rough time of it, not really making much more than 700xp sometimes. Took a break back in the St. Louis and man that ship really is glorious, it's so much fun to play and so easy to do very well in - is there anything like it further down the cruiser line?

BIG HEADLINE posted:The Tenryu and Kuma are wonderful ships. Playing them makes playing the Fukutaka all the more painful. They're good when not being shot at by someone who knows what a citadel is, or how to hit one. My CBT experience was basically committing Japanese Light Cruiser Genocide every single match in my Iwaki because I could aim with AP and they couldn't. The giant, weak-as-gently caress citadel is also the only fault the Iwaki has, otherwise it's very similar to its two tech tree cousins.

I've finally managed to upgrade the Cleveland and it's like the good old times in CBT. Guns firing at 7 seconds per volley. I was facing a New York and sometimes if I aimed well my HE was doing like 6k damage per volley. My last match I ended up facing a New York and a Colorado: I managed to get the New York down from full health and destroy it, but by then my entire team was gone so I was facing the entire air arm of a VII tier carrier alone as well. I managed to get the Colorado down to half health and shot down 29 planes, but the combination of having to maneuver against enemy planes and the shots from the Colorado eventually brought me down. Love this ship.

Cleveland is fun but the weird floaty shots are much harder to aim. I'm also finding less AP prone targets at tier 6 since I've been unable to land citadel hits on other Cleveland's with it. But it's AA is murdertastic. I'm trying to maximize the range of it. The AA upgrade increases it by 20%, and skills add another 20% right? Does that mean it's 5"/.38s 5km range gets boosted to 7km? While the longest ranged AA guns typically have the lowest DPS it appears more because they are slow, hard hitting guns. They still shoot down planes as well as the rest of them.

Once you get used to the floaty shots it's not actually that bad and the volume of fire and firing speed more than makes up for it, it's very easy to adjust. I only use AP on the cleveland if I find lower tier cruisers, otherwise I just keep HE loaded and switch when I need to. Worked just as well as in CBT. I also use the aiming upgrade instead of the AA upgrade though.

wdarkk posted:Is it worthwhile at all to fire 8" AP at cruisers that are angled to me? Depends on angle. If it's really acute, no. If it's not so bad, go for your life. You'll soon find out if the angle's too much because you'll hear (and possibly see) the ricochets. Speaking of firing 8" AP at cruisers,    Replay I was a little disappointed at the draw, but really I couldn't be angry like I would be if it was WoT. I did my best, I cost myself my ship by missing two potential citadel broadsides on an Atlanta because I misjudged his speed, and my team just didn't have the time or numbers to finish the match. rossmum fucked around with this message at 17:55 on Jul 19, 2015 |

You guys weren't kidding about the Furutaka , it's...challenging. Slow reload and turret rotation, feels like i'm in a battleship sometimes. Looks like upgraded modules won't help either.

Increased rate of fire is worth it on the Cleveland. How often do you find yourself doing 180 degree turns? That is the only time the turn rate hurts, and if you are having to do 180, you are probably too busy avoiding death to shoot anyway.Panfilo posted:I always think it's a bomber or fighter.

I just want to say how much I hate the captain interface, it's a slow and cumbersome mess. Especially when it involves trying to switch around captains between ships. It was only a level 5 captain that somehow disappeared but it's the principle of the thing. It shouldn't happen.

Tekopo posted:Hell yes, it takes 2 seconds off the reload time. The turning penalty is really not that bad, you just have to pre-plan your moves slightly. With all the range upgrades available and the upgraded guns on the Cleveland, how many salvoes can it juggle in the air at a time?

I suck in my cleveland I have a hard time leading targets correctly at ranges beyond 11km with it, so I just stick to supporting BBs and/or staying in pack with other cruisers for somewhat close range brawling.

Kresher posted:I suck in my cleveland At max range, you need to aim the whole screen ahead for cruisers and even more for destroyers. I'd recommend a custom crosshairs mod that goes across the whole screen and is numbered so you can remember how far to aim. Hitting anything but battleships is still a crapshoot beyond 10km though. Sometimes people just go straight though because all the bad guys are 17km away and they couldn't possibly shoot that far, right?

Contour icons that show you the torp range + reload time and gun range + reload time is nice as well.

Don't worry, Rossmum. I too, bonk my head on islands in Hotspot all the time while trying to maneuver in my BB's. Edit: I figured it out. The Amagi is a great anti-air emplacement!  It will, compared to other lower-tiered battleships, move pretty dang fast and smash planes out of the sky, or your money back guaranteed!

Has anyone seen the map glitch with CVs yet? I was in an ocean match earlier today as a T8 and we started in the north west. While we were all pushing to the south west every single one of the IJN T9's planes popped out of the side of the map next to our CV and nuked it. Clearly an exploit and I filed a ticket.
