UV_Catastrophe posted:Similar to how WoT progressed, I think this game has a lot of room to get better over time with the addition of new ships/nations/maps and some balance tweaks. Hopefully they don't drag their feet on adding new content. There is not a single word or rumour about a HE or cruiser RoF/range nerf tough. So we'll have this cruiser > battleship bullshit meta for an other 2 months at least.

Interesting, I logged into the clan page this morning and there were six applicants. When I went to check their status it showed they had been declined. No option to add them. Anyone who applied last night and was 'rejected' please try again? Make sure you post your SA blurb so I know it's not filthy pubs trying to infiltrate because we are climbing quickly to the max limit which is great.

They are usually over the screws, so I'd assume they are intended to keep towing lines from getting fouled in the screws, which would be happy fun times for everyone involved.

I had another question about that picture : Those fighter/scout planes on the catapult, are they hydroplanes? So I suppose they used a crane to place it back on the catapult after it had landed on the water and came back close to the boat. (is that structure next to the plane the crane perhaps?)

I think they are quite useful if you like in packs in harbours to protect the screws. Since identical ships lying side by side could touch the screws.

The more I've played the Kongo (and the more I played it) the less I hate the Myogi. It was a poo poo bote for babbies, yes, but it definitely prepares you for the Kongo because you have to learn to take advantage of the one thing it does well (speed) and learn to resist the temptation to sit at 19km sniping with it, which is key to wrecking people in the Kongo.

Everyone has been accepted that had outstanding applications and you are now recruiters so you can also log in and accept new applicants.. just make sure goons only first until we fill the clan with all the goon seamen it can handle. Christ that sounds bad but hey.. it works!

I'm having the worst luck in the Clemson, mostly with the problem of opportunities not presenting themselves in the matches I get into. I'll either be uptiered vs Nicholas, or the destroyers will stick next to the cruisers, and the battleships won't wander around solo, it is really loving disheartening when you can't really make any moves for an entire 20 minute match.

 I should stop while I'm ahead, days like those dont come often. Also I've got everything but the Aoba and Colorado researched, but I just cant decide which line to continue up to next tier. The New Mexico is loving amazing past the stock hull and some upgrades, im keeping it forever, same as Cleveland and St. Louis. How bad are the Colorado and Pensacola on the Furutaka scale of sucking-the-life-out-of-you-everytime-you-hit-the-battle-button?

What 3rd upgrade would you take on a Ibuki ? The AA effectiveness or range don't really seem worth it. At 3mil I intent to dismount it to use it on the Zao later on. gently caress this ship is a pièce for garbage, it was ok as the T7 Myoko but for T9 come on. edit: lol it has a lower rof than the Myoko, gently caress the Ibuki Krogort fucked around with this message at 22:33 on Aug 19, 2015 |

Kerrow posted:How bad are the Colorado and Pensacola on the Furutaka scale of sucking-the-life-out-of-you-everytime-you-hit-the-battle-button? The Pensacola is a fine ship. Good AA and reasonably good guns if not quite to the spammyness of the Cleveland. It's got a way shorter angle though so they arrive sooner. It's got weak sides though, so don't show them if you can help it. The Colorado is just bad especially given your coming from the New Mex into it. It's slow, it's guns are inaccurate, and its just generally all around "bleh". The Colorado is the price you pay for the North Carolina which I've found to be a murder machine in comparison especially as you'll be fighting a lot of Atago's who all seem to cherish showing you their sides and getting Citadeled to gently caress for their troubles. Night10194 posted:I've just researched the Furutaka. I free xped past it rather than use it. On the bright side, the Aoba is good, the Myoko is very good and the Mogami is a Cleveland with more guns, torps and better concealment..

Kerrow posted:
Pensacola has no torpedoes and the same armour as Furutaka, while being two tiers higher, in exchange for almost twice as many guns in faster turning turrets and better AA. You don't need to free XP past it but it does help to get the upgraded hull and the only thing that makes it disappointing is the fact that the Cleveland is ridiculously good. Colorado though is straight up worse than the New Mexico. In real life they had the same weight of broadside but the Colorado had better armour penetration so it worked out. In WoWS the Colorado gets only a small damage increase per shell in exchange for 2/3 chance to hit. Everything else is almost exactly the same, so it works out as a downgrade. Definitely skip as much as you can.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlpx4DMGzYI This thread might enjoy a crosspost from The Last Ship thread. I used to think the 'broken in half hull' thing that happens sometimes when you're sunk, which I see a lot, looked kinda bad, but I guess not.

I'm not sure if i'm missing anything, but why does retraining a commander fully cost 500 doubloons, but a new commander with 3 skillpoints cost 25? I mean i know why it would cost more, but god drat that's high as hell. Is there's any other reason to retrain instead of getting a new commander besides keeping the SP he gets?

My god thats the last time I rely on 3 pubbies to take out a sub 1000 health Omaha on their own. Words just cant describe how bad that was. I'm trying to take on a full health Fuso in my half health New Mexico while the 3 of them flail helplessly at the Omaha. I should have just turned fired one turret and be done with it.

Retrain your commander with credits. All you lose is the commander experience gained during retraining, you don't lose any skill points.

Your error in judgment was to rely on pubbies for anything.. short of not hanging themselves with the wireless mouse cord while trying to solve the riddle of what to do now that other ships are firing at them.. never trust anyone who is not a SEAMN.

VietCampo posted:I'm not sure if i'm missing anything, but why does retraining a commander fully cost 500 doubloons, but a new commander with 3 skillpoints cost 25? If you retrain with no payment, it takes about half of the xp required for your next level to retrain. If you pay 200k credits, it takes half of that again. If you pay gold, your commander retrains immediately and can start accumulating experience again. Retraining is basically an xp sink. While you're retraining, your commander's stat raising abilities are at half effectiveness (so 5% reload speed for Basic Firing Training), and unique powers are disabled completely (such as Situation Awareness or Superintendent). Once you've reached the threshold for the retraining, your commander's skills get fully reenabled and you start gaining experience towards your next level again. Its usually not a waste to retrain your commanders once you've got them to level 3ish, as the xp to retrain at those early levels is very small, while having those extra abilities is good, and gets you on your way to a well trained commander that will be a huge asset in the high tiers. Also note, premium ships interact with retraining in a special way. Commanders do not need to retrain to command a premium ship, and always have their abilities at peak efficiency, so you can freely swap any matching country commander into their boat and back again. Also, if the commander being put into the premium boat is currently retraining, any xp he gains in the premium is put towards his retraining. This is great for your high level commanders, as you don't need to retrain their 40k+ xp in a stock boat and suffer your early games, you can instead opt to retrain the commander in a premium. Of course, you'll need a premium boat of the same country as the commander you wish the retrain. Edit: oh, to respec? I dunno, the cost scales up with the # of skillpoints the commander has.
