The Myogi's turrets seem to turn faster when it hits its 3rd upgrade and actually having some degree of AA makes the torpedo planes doing a war dance above me until I'm committed to a turn unfeasible. It is noticeably less poo poo, but still poo poo.

Artificer posted:Also, as a cruiser driver. For the love of God if you see a swarm of planes coming try to let your friendly USN cruisers get between them and you instead of just haring off in a random direction. The issue is that most of the time the cruisers go off in a random direction and I'm too fat and slow to catch up so I'm left to try and dodge 100 torpedoes in my floating brick while the cruisers take potshots at a Minekaze that' was spotted by fighters 15km away.

PirateBob posted:That rate of fire is just insane. For that video, I'm not locked to my aiming perspective. You can free look during replays, and when I recorded it the first time, my aiming view wasn't very square on the murmansks, so I rerecorded it and used free look instead. If I only used what I was seeing, instead, it'd be very disorienting and wouldn't showcase the carnage properly. ROF is 12 rounds per minute, which is the same as the US DDs that use the 127mms. The Atlanta is just a really big DD. Hazdoc fucked around with this message at 19:56 on Aug 10, 2015 |

Michi88 posted:I almost always play hyper aggressive in my BB's, and 9 times out of 10 (if the team follows me) we stomp them into the ocean floor. Tanking shots with proper angling while myself and the team burn down the hp works wonders. Ya unfortunately thats the main issue with BBs. Other players are just too drat passive and get scared at the slightest sign of opposition. They will turn and run leaving you to bear the brunt of 3 ships firing on you. Its just so frustrating when you citadel down an enemy cruiser and your team is nowhere in range to burn them down the last bit, so the cruiser is able to run away while I reload. I've started grouping with goons though and its become a non issue. Although we can only carry so much.

Low Tier BBs do legitimately have serious trouble with DDs, though. It's hard to avoid the torpedoes (though by no means impossible) but more importantly they're hard to hit and your slow loading cannons with their huge dispersion are not exactly ideal. Most problematic, a BB should usually have AP loaded for dunking on CAs and other BBs, but AP does jackshit to Destroyers besides just punch through and maybe take out some modules, so you're stuck trying to switch to a different ammo type and then swat a fly with a sledgehammer since your secondaries won't do much good at low tiers.

Finally got one of those ramming medals, in my Iowa.... started the game and found I had no mini-map, team melted fast while i was beating up a New Mexico, two Cleveland, a Colorado, and going after their cv. Decided, meh gently caress it and went full bore in on the two battleships after the Cleveland died ( one died to an ammo racking, other idk). The first victim was the New Mexico as i sliced him in half with the bow of my Ship, but sadly that left me very low and there wasn't time to hp repair before the Colorado piled into me killing himself and ending our run with 3 battleships settled ontop of each other on the bottom. 10/10 would do it again in a heartbeat.

I've been doing quite well with the Miyagi, personally. Even when I go for the long shots- frequent citadels and one magazine detonation yesterday, at least. And either way, its basic combat capability make it much better than the slow, weak, and blind Kawachi. Been doing even better with the IV/V JPN carrier though, with the tactic of luring fighters into AA dominating basically every other carrier I meet. I love that minigame and it's antifun enforcement on other players.

I just had my team start out getting completely wrecked, losing almost half their number and all three cap points. I'm in my Myogi, but I managed to hurt an enemy BB a bunch then punch through and get to the enemy Bogue, which I and an Isokaze kill. Then the enemy just starts melting. Somehow, our remaining team just crushes the remaining foes (while one of our allies was whining about how bad our team was) and we win it for my 1.5 and the best game I've ever had in the Myogi.

I was one of those Clevelands. Murdered a Myoko that bumrushed our team, then a Kagero that got way too close to me. I sailed right past a bunch of cruisers and bumrushed your CV, and landed 12 citadels on him to kill him before a BB and Pensacola finished me off. 3 kills for first win 5K XP game, top score on our team. I'd post the pic, but imgur's getting fussy with me right now.

Well that was one hell of a round. I was a Minekaze, and I torped a DD for the first kill, then miraculously found their Bogue way up forward (and gave him the torps obviously), and then since I was severely damaged, a rammed a full health Isokaze and took him out.  Screenshots and replay below (also it was an amazingly quick game)   And the replay: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ldsx1z29njn0h0v/20150810_135434_PJSD004-Minekadze-1920_20_NE_two_brothers.wowsreplay?dl=0 Also SEAMN reporting in!

I'm starting to warm up to the Myogi some. It's still not great, but it's actually pretty good at getting to that sweet spot of 7-10km where a BB wants to be against a cruiser so it can paste the Citadel. If only the guns weren't so inaccurate and so insufficient in number.

Just had an aweseome round. Luckily in my Murmansk. It's really awesome with the +20% extra range from the Captains Skill (Rank 4). Special Thanks go to the Kuma which decided to show its broadside for far too long. I finally succumbed to enemy fire while attacking the 2 enemy carriers and the last enemy BB (Myogi). But not before sinking both carriers and firing a last torpedo spread at the Myogi. Which did sink it.

How long does it take to level up or retrain a high level commander, or is there something special about preserving them? It seems like sort of a waste to use real money on them since they level up pretty quickly.

It's a gimmick with no ambitions to greatness other than annoying the sensibities of some people in an Internet pixel botes game. Once the 15 minutes, if even that, is up then we hang around and enjoy gg's or move on and find better things to do.

It seems like sort of a waste to use real money on them since they level up pretty quickly. It's not that long. A retraining commander has only 50% effect on skills (no effect for any of the skills that don't have an obvious way to reduce effect by 50%) but otherwise you lose nothing. If you're worried about playing a ship without full skill, you can use a retraining crew in a premium ship with no loss of effectiveness.

Scikar posted:Overpen just means you either didn't hit enough armour to trip the fuse in your shell, or you did hit enough armour but the shell came out of the other side of the ship before it detonated (e.g. you hit the far side of his deck armour). This explains a lot and is one of the problems I have with the game, they don't explain poo poo. Especially compared to how well they (eventually) got to describing tanks and giving out information. Ships have a lot more going on with their armor and guns, and hidden mechanics like the ship taking less damage in some spots after awhile or torpedoes just do less damage because reasons. They need to expose armor values and ammunition penetration values again. This is particularly jarring when making the jump from the St Louis to the Phoenix.

I just saw something I've never seen before. On Big Race the entirety of both teams went into the Destroyer Thunderdome. I've never seen so many ships explode from torpedoes so quickly. Half of each team was dead in the first 4 minutes.
