Had my first couple games in the Mogami. That thing is a MONSTER. Also had my worst yet matchmaking experience.  Note the total lack of tier 5s on the other team.

It doesn't get better. On the other hand the soothing balm of the Kongo is worth the dick shrivelling agony of the myogi .

I could forgive the guns firing like a drunken one-eyed stormtrooper if it had more than 6 of them. I could forgive it being really loving huge if it had any armor to speak of. I could forgive so much of this boat if it had one good thing about it. At least the Kawachi could gently caress a dude up if I got in there.

Night10194 posted:Why. I am genuinely curious. Easy to citadel everything at your tier. Having two turrets on both sides means you can quickly engage another target after the first goes down or hides behind an island or you need to turn the gently caress around because you don't want to YOLO into the enemy team alone. It also helps you a lot in those low tier knife fights where you have to turn constantly to keep bearing on someone. I never had a problem working around the range, given I already knew the lower-tier maps well enough to just pop out and blow someone away at 5km or so. A St. Louis at 10km range is dangerous, but the trick is to not get into those sniper fights, or to get surprised with your guns pointed the wrong way in close. A St. Louis under your guns at less than 7km is meat. There's a fair bit to think about between having low speed, how you have to approach the typical fighting zones at a different range than your cruisers, yet still need enemy destroyers to die before wading in. It kind of felt like I'd spend five or more minutes setting up a fight, then BAM sucker punch one or two hapless cruisers (although not that hapless because they had to have seen me coming), before healing and setup again.

Night10194 posted:At least the Kawachi could gently caress a dude up if I got in there.  No seriously, what? The Kawachi is an absolute peice of trash. It gets outranged by literally everything ever, hitting is more a matter of luck than actually aiming, and it feels like it's made out of construction paper reinforced with cardboard. And not that good corrugated cardboard, but cheap lovely cardboard that's been left outside in the rain for a week. Even if it can gently caress up a dude at close range, that only happens if your opponents are idiots because everything short of a carrier is faster than you. It's completely irredeemable. At least the Myogi has something resembling range on the guns.

The Kawachi is trash, but it was trash that could take advantage of an opponent's mistakes and that forced you to get into a range where you could hurt someone. The Myogi's range feels like a trap, because it doesn't have the volume of fire of the Wyoming (or the armor) to make up for BB inaccuracy at long ranges so you're going to need to get in there anyway, and the boat is loving massive. I was sailing next to my buddy's Wyoming, and he was *tiny* next to that thing. It is not at all hard to hit a Myogi and the boat is made of pure Japanese Citadelanium.

This game made me turn on replays.   The end was me 1v2ing a Chikuma and Hashidate with them at 75% and me starting at 6k, health, but thankfully the Hashidate got scared and ran into the arms of our Sampson. That's the best game in term of points I've ever had, and definitely the most exciting.

Man it sure is fun being the sole tier 7 BB in a match where your team has a bad player in a strike loaded Independence vs a Ryujo and Ranger, both strike loaded. Carriers normally aren't a problem if it's just the one or if there's some kind of balance, but when the enemy has such blatant air supremacy and your team lacks both AA and functional prefrontal cortices, you may as well just go do something more enjoyable, like nailing your dick to a door and slamming it shut. I was able to take about four of their ships down to half health while the carriers focused the first BB they saw (a Myogi, of all things), but then they came for me. Nothing I can do against that many torp bombers all approaching from different directions, and no way to not get focused when you're such a juicy target. I wasn't alone, either - I was surrounded by cruisers, who were able to do approximately gently caress and all to such a massive air armada.

cheese posted:I hope once this close range accuracy buff for BB's goes in, people will start brawling in them more. Not only is it fun, but its loving really good. I charged in on a distracted Amagi in my Myoko and once I got to like 7.5km I started taking 2k damage volleys from his secondaries like every 4-5 seconds. By the time I got to 3km and spun to launch torps, I had lost like 12k health and was burning from 2 fires. A couple of games later, I watched another Amagi basically solo a New Orleans from 15k health to dead just with his secondaries. Not a chance, pubbies are way too risk averse in this game, especialy at high tier. Even while the ennemy team has two carrier and their team none, they will keep running circle at long range waiting to be all bombed to oblivion rather than rush in and win the game.

I find the problem is more that when you try to close your BB gets set on fire from stem to stern and you've lost half your health before you get within 10km.

Well, Deutschland was pretty old and slow, so I'm not sure how it would hold up as a tier 10... I do like the idea of a high tier cruiser with bigger than 8" guns but it all depends on how War gaming do the stats.

I mean, it's not really a battleship, nor is it a cruiser. I understand the difficulty of balancing it, but it just seems like a strange decision to put it as tier 4 battleship.

It won't have the speed of the Myogi but will have as many guns in the broadside, and it will be underarmored as well. It sucks, is what I'm saying. It honestly is more of an overgunned cruiser, and it should be balanced as such. The 11" guns will have a fairly slow reload, anyway, so I don't see how it can't be balanced against the other high-tier cruisers.

   Finally a good game in New Orleans. Took down Sims and half hp Atago 1v2 (Both set me on fire and I lost 25k hp  ) then got 5 more citadel hits on Mogami and Atago. Unfortunately they sunk so fast so I couldn't get kills or High Caliber.

Nicholas love, this may be my best game in any ship. Very balanced, guns/torps. Survived the game. Yes, you lose a turret with the hull upgrade, but the rapid fire guns are pretty good for a trade off. Someone got a flyer in on my 6th kill. Killed 3 BB, Basically 2 CV, and a outmatched IJN dd that was like what, you have guns? Got hit with one torp bomb.

Just came back to this after taking a break in closed beta, and it's still fun, even if my computer can barely play it... But holy poo poo, the unending amounts of fire and module damage is getting incredibly old. It feels like every hit either screws something up or sends my ship up in flames. It didn't used to be this way.

It didn't used to be this way. On the bright side, I know you love torpedoes, and they still gently caress everything up. They almost always cause drowning, too, since they hit under the waterline. I just pretty much ignore fires, I save it for dead engines, jammed rudders, or floods. What's the right third-tier commander skill for a BB? What about a cruiser? I'm inclined either to get longer torpedo acquisition range or faster repair crew recharge.

This is the most citadels I have ever gotten in a single game. Fifteen to kill a Kuma and two Omahas then six HE citadels on a Langley. I thought I was dead meat at the beginning of the match when my steering was taken out twice, but it probably helped since it let other people take the lead and focus. One of the Omahas was pretty good and got two citadels on me because I was not angled enough. It might have killed me if not for the fact that it damaged propulsion and slowed my ship enough to throw off the lead of his next salvo.

Torps are still pretty cool, but my meager FPS are even more hosed than they were so I miss way more than I used to. Ditto guns. The strange thing is when I'm chugging along at around 12-17 FPS and I still do as well or better than half my team. I've had games where multiple DD smoke screens have dropped my FPS down to the single digits, but I was still in the top 3.  Did they change AP and HE much? Is it still 'AP for everything you can penetrate, HE for everything you can't / fires?'.

To be fair, WOWS is a pretty slow game, and having superhigh FPS isn't so important as correctly leading targets and planning out what you're doing well in advance. Even 5-10 FPS is perfectly manageable, if a bit uncomfortable given that actions have to be planned a minute or more in advance.

Missed this post before, I'm stoked I get to be on one of those soon. Also, I started the OB going American cruisers, but more and more find myself going Japanese and American DDs and Jap CAs because they're just better. Ugh. Wish I could respec all those wasted exp points. The Cleveland is a good boat, but not what she was in Closed.
