Hagop posted:Clevelands certainly can't handle the tier 6 BBs. Both the Fuso and the NM are like the Clevelands kryptonite. However they seem to handle tier 7 BBs fine. I mean I don't often solo down full health tier 7s, but I feel like I can solo off way more hitpoints then I should be able to. Actually, the Cleveland can handle both given the right situation. Hell, at point blank range, the cleveland can pen the Fuso with AP, leading the the hilarious situation where you DPS down a battleship in a cruiser at 3-4km ranges.

Mmm, of course it's equally easy to gain access to Gamescon as it is to buy a code online. I'm a game dev and I don't even go to Gamescon/GDC very often.

I bought one from Kinguin a few weeks ago for around $3, but I just looked now and the cheapest they have now is closer to $12. As with any reseller though, buyer beware. For me $3 was worth the risk and the code I got worked without any issue.

I just bought one from the "Ben" guy earlier and it worked perfectly. WIsh I'd gotten it when it was $3 but at $12 it's still cheaper than the one in the store and you get premium and doubloons with it too.

Jesus, The Murmansk is just so much drat fun compared to BB's. I may be broken but I am having fun with carriers so far. Started off doing manual launches and as soon as I get better timing my turns I am REALLY going to enjoy it.

start game in kongo, feelin good after getting a few early long range shots on a phoenix and then move in close to go ham on a pair of wyomings. No citadels but I'm angled and they're not and I'm about to enter secondary range so I'll kill one of them in the next salvo anyway and then I hear the torpedo warning. Two isokaze on my own team launched every single one of their torpedoes at the wyoming I'm fighting from about 2km behind me. I dodge most of them but eat two anyway and eat most of a broadside from the disengaged wyoming because I'm forced to give him my side. I call both of them loving retards but die from flooding before I can teamkill either of them. The isokaze that teamkills me later sinks another teammate and blames him for getting in the way.

5 losses in a row, 4 of them 1000+ base xp. Just give me a decent team so i can get my win of the day and stop playing the loving colorado. Seriously this is when the game is the shittiest. I "only" had two hours to play and I just wanted one win in a ship and I couldn't even do that. ranbo das fucked around with this message at 15:53 on Aug 15, 2015 |

I think I jizzed my pants at the end of this match in my Atlanta    At the beginning of the match our Ranger took half a dozen torps and bombs and was left at just 378 HP. I swung back to render some AA protection for him and our Hiryu, and consequently put myself between the Hiryu and an enemy Atlanta. Sank his rear end. Our Mogami laid a world of pain on an enemy Fuso and sank him, and shortly after that was taken down by a New Orleans. The New Orleans and I began to trade potshots, but I was just hammering him with a combination of HE and AP, and he succumbed soon after, having removed roughly 50% of my HP. I headed north and saw that our team had annihilated the enemy battle line so I headed for the C cap point. In the channel between the two islands at C was the enemy Lexington, apparently stuck after having just run into the shoreline to avoid bombers. I started dropping HE on him and set him on fire repeatedly so he couldn't launch planes. Killed him. By this time the last ship left on the enemy team was the Hiryu, who happened to be hiding in the NE corner of the map. I capped C and closed in on him from the front while 2 other Atlanta's came from the west. They set him on fire and I managed to land a few shots before he finally died with less than a minute left in the match. Payout was especially large because it was from winning my first match of the day in the Atlanta as well as flying the Zulu (+20% credits) and the Equal Speed Charlie London (+50% xp) flags.

I had a great win in my Minekaze this morning, and somehow managed to get First Blood, 2 Double Strikes and 3 Devastating Strikes in the process. I'm scratching my head about getting two Double Strikes, though. I killed 2 destroyers and a Carrier, but the Carrier kill was some time after the first two. The only way I though it would be possible to get 2 Double strikes off 3 kills would be if ship A got killed, ship by got killed within 10 seconds, followed by a third kill 10 seconds later?

I just had an extraordinary game in my Fubuki.    3k experience before premium, and just a few points shy of 150k damage dealt by torpedoes alone. Holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii If I get more games like this I'll be in the Kagero by tonight. Maybe I should quit while I'm ahead.

No I don't have the replay. Maybe they were spaced out further than I thought. Still, it was freakin' amazing. I love those games where you just  through 3 ships in quick succession, like some crazed bote gladiator.

Anyone have an hot tips for playing US DDs? Just got the Nicholas and I'm having some real trouble with it. It seems to fit into this weird zone of mediocrity where my guns make me a lovely version of a cruiser and my short-ranged torps make me a lovely version of an IJN DD. The only thing I feel confident about is my ability to beat up other DDs.

Orangejuche is a goon, right? Teamkilled me by accident earlier and apologized, but my internet went out for a few minutes so I was not able to say no problem. Storms and my crappy DSL have made this double xp weekend a bitch. Get top xp and it ends up being a 20 minute draw. Internet hiccups after 2 minutes in a match and the team goes on to win for a 100xp double.

I don't know what happened to the matchmaking, but now I'm repeatedly seeing tier IV and even III ships thrown into games with multiple tier VIIs. No grouping involved. Also I'm pretty sure I had two consecutive games with the same Nagato player who sat at spawn doing absolutely gently caress all until enemy TBs found him halfway through the match, at which point he lumbered off in the opposite direction from the point that needed defending.

UV_Catastrophe posted:Anyone have an hot tips for playing US DDs? You need to play like an opportunist. Strike unsupported BBs, hunt enemy DDs, and distract enemy CAs. Avoid enemy CVs until you've got the chance to hunt them down. You're agile enough to be fairly immune to fire from a BB (and if a BB IS shooting at you, that's a good thing, as its very likely going to miss and isn't shooting your teammates), as well as long range CA fire. Sometimes you need to attract some attention to take the heat off friendlies, sometimes you can pitch in with your guns and attempt to light a hostile on fire, sometimes you have to go in balls deep and try to pry victory from a losing situation through sheer force of citadel hits and torpedoes. US DDs are probably the most difficult ships in the game to do well with at the moment. So long as you pick your battles carefully and have an exit strategy for any fight you're not sure you can win, you'll start figuring out just what fights you CAN take, and when you need to make yourself scarce. I'll probably do a legit, real tutorial on them later, but I need to gather clips for it.

Man, the grind in this is pretty serious. Myoko to Mogami with premium and confederate flags is looking like around 40-50 twenty minute battles, and I'm pretty sure I'm getting better than average battles. I understand the freemium model but I think they had the xp requirements more in line in tanks. Then again, module unlocks etc did have a significantly larger role in that...

Its better to not worry about grinding. Just play whatever is fun and, well, have fun. I played the grindy way in CBT and burned myself out for a month, it was pretty bad. And that was with accelerated XP gain and gaining credits so fast I didn't have any cash problems.

If you take it easy and do more doubles and less grinding it's a lot less games. Which is probably why they reduced the daily XP multiplier...

Welp, just saw the most amazing shithead. I was in a BB, slugging it out at close range with another BB (and winning) when I noticed this friendly Omaha come sailing straight towards us without firing a shot. Not only did he sneak in to steal my kill, he did it by firing a literally point blank torpedo spread that was aimed directly at me and would have sunk my boat if any one of them missed the target. By some miracle I survived and we won the round, but gently caress that guy.
