Probably preaching to the choir here but get a Murmansk for your grinding needs. Two games today, I made over 7k exp and 600k credits. It is just beastly.

, some US cruiser with 4x3 8" guns and torpedo launchers, the Kamikaze class destroyer (looks like a premium Minekaze) and a Pensacola as originally built.
premium ships.

Worcesters didn't have 4x3 8" guns either though, they had 6x2 6". And no torpedoes either. E: If they think the Des Monies is over performing (it probably is) just knock the ROF down a little. Removing it entirely would be typical wargaming balancing though I suppose. Pharnakes fucked around with this message at 00:06 on Aug 15, 2015 |

How to Cleveland.replay ? Me, Sporks and Woodchip in a triple Cleveland division and I somehow wind up the last person on our team. YOU ARE OUR LAST HOPE somehow makes me go  in my Cleveland, wreck things, I finally get taken out by a 3k HP remaining Kawachi (at 700hp myself). Good stuff is the last 5-7 minutes of the match. "God Dams!" and "Holy Shits! everywhere and I still have no idea how the gently caress I dodged those torps.http://www.mreboy.com/wot/20150814_191243_PASC007-Cleveland-1945_16_OC_bees_to_honey.wowsreplay I personally start freaking out at the end so please excuse the chat spasms.

All of the non-CV Tier X's get something that is noticeable change compared to the Tier 9 in the line. That would break the mold with the USN CAs.

The Kongo is long range, fast, its turret turn time is painful, and the guns do not seem to like penetrating armor. I had a game with 40 shell hits that only did 34000 damage. Granted, I got so used to the Myogi's incredibly slow bullets I'm probably just not shooting that accurately, yet. It's definitely an improvement, I just need to get used to the new boat. The Myogi gives you stockholm's after awhile.

cheese posted:Maybe I'm thinking of the USS Buffalo then and the Worcester is the light CA? There was supposedly some data mining and one of them is definitely a tier X CA that has 4x3 8"s like the Zao. Yeah. Buffalo is a (paper) tier 10 cruiser with 4x3 8" and a quadruple torpedo launcher on each side. It doesn't appear to get the rapid fire guns from Des Moines, its main guns are Mark 15 and Des Moines' are 16. Worcester is a tier 10 cruiser with 6x2 6" dual purpose guns, and 24 of the same 3" guns as Des Moines. It has 6 km AA range and the guns are apparently 12 rpm. I think replacing Des Moines with Worcester would be too dumb even for Wargaming, and considering the torpedoes Buffalo looks at least partly imaginary. I doubt either of them is a replacement.

Man for all the people complaining so much about Carriers they have either not made it above tier5 or I don't know. The Tier 6 Cruisers have enough AA to wreck your poo poo if you so much as glance at them and EU at least has a lot of US CV with Fighter loadout.

For anyone who's interested: Go to <your install directory>\res\texts\ru\LC_MESSAGES, back up the global.mo file, and replace it with this. If I can be bothered to think of names and descriptions for all the ships I'll release a full modpack on the official forums.

 Today is going to be a good day. It seems pubbies forgot how to escort their battleships or what torpedoes do. This match gave me a REALLY good example of an open water rush on a BB for US DDs, perhaps I'll make a tutorial for it.

What's the point of catapult fighters? They seem to be mostly a distraction to actual fighter squadrons, even with your AA helping them, and don't increase your firing range at all. Do they make torpedo bombers gently caress up their spread or something?

I thought my Kongo was cursed until I had a two-dozen game losing streak in the Wyoming. (I'm trying to get that out of the way before WG nerfs it into the ground with a 12 km gun range). Okay, maybe not literally a 24-game lose-streak... as do have 3 or 4 victories spread among almost those 25 games. I seriously have no idea what the gently caress is going on. I guess I've somehow magically become the worst pubbie ever, such that my mere presence on a team is worse than an empty slot.

Yes, a single catapult fighter attacking a torp squad fucks the spread exactly the same as a full squadron of fighters or the activated AA ability. If the enemy carrier doesn't use fighters to knock yours down it's a massive boon to air defense. Having one circling is also good for vision at times, especially destroyers or smoke. Especially if you time the launch right and know where the orbit is going to begin.

Got the Pensacola tonight. First map, the Ice map, which was weird and fun. First salvo at another Pensacola citadeled it and gave me a kill, which was nice and a kinda depressing reminder of how fragile this thing is supposed to be.

Murmansk will basically always be able to compete in the games it gets. It has great range, good guns and very effective torpedoes for its tier. The Atlanta will find itself in tier 8/9 heavy games where it can't do a mother loving thing but AA screen for other ships and then try to get close late in the round. Its range is poor and it has a hard time leading its shot to even reach its max range.

The Atlanta is basically a larger, slower, T7 US DD without a smokescreen and bitchin' AA. A bit like a DL (destroyer leader, before they got reclassified to frigates in '75). Wikipedia actually had this to say: wikipedia article on destroyer leaders posted:The first destroyer leader USS Norfolk was authorized in 1948 and laid down in 1949 as an anti-submarine hunter killer cruiser based on the Atlanta-class anti-aircraft cruiser. Reading up on different ship classifications and roles in really interesting.

As I remember, the Atlanta class themselves were originally intended as destroyer leaders until it turned out that they were bad at surface combat and good at AA. Murmansk is a slightly better Omaha, and Omaha is already a contender for best tier 5. It'll never be stuck in a fight where it can't contribute, and it's usually good at winning games.

I've found that the Kawachi is halfway tolerable if: 1) You have the range upgrade and 2) You sneak into ongoing fights to shoot people after they've already developed tunnel vision

Also does it get preferential matchmaking like WoT premiums? I'm so close to pulling the trigger on that Murmansk bundle others have linked before, I just get a little paranoid buying from 3rd party key sellers for some reason.
