I can occasionally get a few but it seems a lot less reliable than the Omaha's AP citadel hits. I'm the exact same way, the Cleveland is my least favorite poo poo (apart from the furutaka) so far.

It cannot be overstated how superior the Aoba is to the Furutaka.

Holy poo poo the New Mexico is amazing! I like the Wyoming, wasn't impressed with the New York, but the New Mexico is a goddamned beast! It doesn't feel that much more accurate, and it definitely still moves like a pig, but I've been landing absolute bombs on people and just wiping the floor with teams all day.

So this is my current plan with the Kawachi: Move (slowly) to the far outer edge of an objective and shoot at people who try to take it back. Don't see how I'm going to force a fight otherwise

Yep, at least half of the art of low tier battleships is predicting where the fight will be when your tubby rear end finally gets there.

Today, I fired a full New York salvo at a St. Louis, citadeled and killed him, and the shots that went long hit and killed a DD that was passing behind him that I couldn't even see.

Night10194 posted:Ain't nothin' wrong with posting cool stats after good games. You should be able to get Citadel hits on most BBs by aiming slightly below the waterline at the center of the ship. This my usual brawling tactic and it almost always works, requires close range (around 5km) so the shots hit flat.

Rebought Bogue after rageselling it the first time, played five games, 1 win, 1 draw, 3 losses. Spawned at the southeast corner on hotspot, every single ship that spawned at that spot decides to chase half hp new york i torped around the island while their two dds and a cruiser cap the spot everyone is circling about... The dds and cruiser waltz into our spawn without taking any damage, torp me to hell, still take no damage because the merry band of retards on my team are now once again behind the island, finally capping the c point. Thanks for reminding me why i sold it the first time, pubbies.

I really hope some of the premium carriers are the really insane drawing board things that never saw the light of day. Like that carrier made out of ice.

Not sure it's worth buying with current game balance. And at tier8 you can bet it'll be 40+ bucks.

As much as I like the idea of a battleship with torpedoes, I'm not buying it unless I plan to go down a german ship line.

I'm such a Maritime history dork that it will be very tempting to pay for that. Tirpitz / Bismarck were overgrown commerce raiders and were overhyped during the war, but I think it would be fun to play in the game because secondaries and torpedoes.

I was in a game in my Kongo where the enemy had a Tirpitz and our pubbies freaked the gently caress out and refused to engage it in terror. I eventually went at it and knocked half its HP off by angling properly, but it had some Clevelands for backup and our own Clevelands refused to engage because they were afraid the enemy boat was invincible. The Wehraboo cuts both ways, I guess.

The dispersion on the Tirpitz guns looks absolutely terrible in the Jingles video. Though to be fair, his gunnery is also terrible and he's not using the accuracy mod.

Watching some of Jingles' stuff when he's in a BB and hearing him go 'Oh man! That fool! He's turning his front towards me while I have my broadside to him! I have the advantage now since all my guns are on him!' confirms Jingles is about as good at WoWS as he is at War Thunder.

That said, iChase also did a review on the Tirpitz, and made basically the same comment regarding its accuracy. Specifically, it has the same amount of dispersion at max range as Yamato does at hers, but said maximum range is significantly shorter.

Well, I FINALLY heard back from support, and apparently my situation is so hosed, that they had to ask the devs? Anyways, they say that if there is room in the clan when they resolve this, they will add me manually. So yay, I guess.

That dude has some interesting videos with the history and details of some of the ships but holy gently caress that forces laugh he does is so obnoxious and makes his videos unwatchable.

I'm convinced this behavior is some kind of schizoid disorder where they think they might really die if they lose their ship. The cowardice I've seen displayed in a GAME is beyond belief.

Once they finally manage to sink me theres multiple ships running around with low HP that my team could have easily focused down but were unable too since they were out of range. I want a Tirpitz but I'm not going to spend over $40 on a ship unless it came with like a month worth of premium as well or something along those lines. $20 is a better price for premium ships I think but they will never be that cheap.

Don't forget pubbies are so loving terrified of DDs they'll never go screen for them or hunt them. They just huddle and shriek about 'torpedoes from nowhere'.

I especially liked the game where myself(in a Myoko) and a Cleveland were first up the west flank on Fault Line, and were slowly boxing in a Minekaze into the NW corner. Then I looked back and noticed that multiple battleships and another cruiser or two on our team had apparently decided to follow us into the corner rather than actually make for the cap, except staying decently far back, of course. That was fun. There wasn't even another DD on the enemy team to be afraid of.
