There is something very broken about high tier carriers outside of the usual. See if you can spot it in this image. Hint they still had some full squadrons left. Of course both me and Durend died to the carriers. DurosKlav fucked around with this message at 08:30 on Aug 30, 2015 |

Hazdoc posted:Yeah, plunging fire works better than straight on fire, at least, in my experiences with St Louises. It has a pretty difficult citadel to hit, but at least you'll be in range to plug it full of AP when its in range of you. Normal penetrations are 3k damage a pop, not a drop in the bucket by a long shot. You'll just get hosed with HE in the meantime, so its best to have allies around to capitalize on your big alpha strike removing a lot of his health. A question actually. Is there any place that actually shows or talks about the penetration numbers of each gun and the armor of each ship? I've never seen anything for numbers or even anything solid for numerical game mechanics outside of "try not to overpenetrate or bounce shots, and go for the citadel"

Armor values can be found on the botes wiki, but it probably won't help too much without a visualization, and that 3d site with armor layouts makes you pay to see above T6.

Shells bounce at angles of 30< degrees and... I have the page saved with a lot of good info regarding it. http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/18034-basics-damage-mechanics/

My in-game name is Evolvate, so if I did that twice I'd only need the As. Frankly the whole thing is starting to piss me off - I was in a number of matches yesterday where I just pounded the poo poo out of enemy ships with the letter I needed and got him down 95%, then some fucker shoots a second before me and gets the kill. So annoying.

I only have a single E to go and like a week to get it, so I'm just erring on the safe side. Plus, it's kinda hilarious to go hell-for-leather to assassinate players for their names.

Clan chat for the goon that asked in an earlier post. SEAMN was a personal troll joke that took off. PANSY, Allah bless them, is primarily tank dudes with little interest in botes although we probably have a good few in the clan now that are fed up and wanted out of tanks. PANSY has been full for a while albeit not active and probably the vast majority don't play anymore. I could have reached out to Adam about a possible name change for a crossover but then that would have caused confusion plus we were still dealing with them being at capacity and leaving out goons who wanted in. We sit at 99 plus the slot for Sporks if they ever unfuck his account so that's not bad considering it took just a few weeks. I am hoping when clans are a thing in botes and we can ravage the two seas pillaging other seamen filling them with our hot loads and special brand of love it will be in a better place. I've already considered reaching out to some of the goons I see as regulars if they are interested in cat herding positions later. If you are a regular sperg with decent cat herding skills and want to jump into an expanded role hoping to be your own desk chair commodore pm me with your terrible ideas. We won't hold anyone to participate but I am sure there are goons who would be looking forward to it..

I would love to see ANY A or E in my matches. Thus far I see maybe one vowel every 3-4 matches (except for myself), and every time someone else gets the kill. I've pretty much given up on it at this point. **EDIT** Just saw that you need to have a different screenshot for every letter, so three A kills, two E kills, etc. quote:You cannot use the same player for instances of the same letter: for instance, you need to take out THREE players whose names begin with "A".

cheese posted:Wow, your Hakuryu shot down 73 and the rest of your team another 100+. I think high tier carrier play would benefit from a few less planes - they just have so many squads that suicide attacks are perfectly viable. It's been mentioned before, but anyone thinking you can run a Midway out of planes is delusional. It carries 136 planes all by itself, over 1/3 more than the Hakuryu. The Essex carries another 90, meaning those two carriers had over 220 planes between them. That said, at least one of them was operating on reduced squads at the end, as they merely had 41 planes left between them. Assuming they both had full strike loadouts that means each should have an active wing of 30 planes, or 33 if they've got the level 5 skill. edit: Actually, they probably had a few more left since some of those kills are going to be scout planes. Still, I don't think I typically see games with 20+ scout plane kills, so statement still holds. Lord Koth fucked around with this message at 18:16 on Aug 30, 2015 |

I've got the Myogi fully upgraded now, and I am still poo poo in it. Like, sure, I can shoot out to 20k with the plane up but theres no kind of accuracy. ever. Even up close it's all over the place, in a way that feels so much worse than the South Carolina and Wyoming. AND it's got fewer guns so that just compounds the issue. As long as it's at the top of the tiers it *can* kite BB's and hold range on CA's, but christ this thing is a real drag. I had to do 6 battles last night before I got the daily double. Seriously considering giving up on it and all other IJN BB's and CV's. I do enjoy the IJN CA's and DD's. I really don't want to drop the free xp to jump past tier 3.

With the Myogi, you need to use the speed to get close and keep your front pointed roughly at the enemy BB until after he's fired, then turn a bit to get all guns on him and return fire before facing front again to tank his shots. At close range, the enormous range turns the dispersion lower and makes the guns more accurate and the speed can definitely make a difference. It's not a good ship, but it becomes workable. The long range is for opportunity attacks, basically, while a BB tends to deliver its killing attacks from relatively close. The Kongo is basically a Myogi with all the things you hated gone.

Aren't they increasing the hangar cap on carriers next patch? At higher tiers it seems like it'd actually be more efficient to just suicide your squads rather than having them return to rearm - you won't run out of planes either way and it means you can relaunch faster, with the bonus that your planes won't point the enemy team to your parking spot.

Also, right now, all that really matters at high tiers is how many TBs you can shoot down before they drop, which in turn means that your long range aura AA dps is king. No one cares if your Des Moines can shred a bunch of planes when they get to 2km because they have already fired their torps.

So far today I have three wins, three draws, and one loss in my Myoko. Something needs to change in how they measure wins because high level battles seem to be 30% draws or more.

Looks like they may have changed the rules a bit - apparently you now have until Thursday to complete PAX MARBLEHEAD, and when I just checked the forum post the part about requiring each letter be a unique kill was not there, although it was still in the news post. Not sure how that's going to play out, but at this point I at least have 1 of every letter, and if I want to be completely upstanding then I just need to get two more As and one E.

Well, just finished up my last letter, which was a "P". Though weirdly enough my "H" and "X" kills are the same person, just in different battles. If I find another "X" I'll probably replace my current one, but might as well get everything up now.
