I got fed up with Tacos and dropped about 20k free xp on the Aoba. HOLY poo poo I LOVE THAT BOAT! Are the secondaries a real threat to DD? Can't decide if I want to max AA or secondaries for DD hunting or go for support with the AA and give CV's a lovely day.. First time out, straight stock.  edit: i am so done with photobucket. almost 4000 xp, 54 hits 4 citadels, 3 torps, 2 ded planes, 5 incapacitations, 2 fires, 1 flood DiHK fucked around with this message at 00:33 on Sep 24, 2015 |

Yeah, I was expecting that too but nobody commented on it. I mean I'm sure some of them thought that, but they kept it to themselves. I got chased down by a phoenix after killing the destroyer, but at least I set him on fire before going down.  All in all, by the end of it I doubt anybody was willing to complain. Personally, I want to see the ribbing the destroyer on the enemy team got. I forget if he was in a division, but if so I don't think he's going to live it down for a while.

  First game in the Murmansk (didn't have time to play this morning). It's quick, its maneuverable, its got good HE spam, and it's even got torps, what more could you ask for.

After a few losses in a row in ranked battle, with an average wait time of 3+ min (Tier 6 carrier), I was kinda starting to lose my poo poo. When we lost a match because none of the BB's made it past the C row and simply gave all cap points to the enemy team, I warned them that I would sink them if they didn't stop playing like morons. Imagine my surprise when they all slowly started drifting towards the B line, getting even further away. By that point, I just didn't find it funny anymore, and proceeded to unload my torpedoes in a BB that had been hanging back even further than the other ones. We were just about to lose anyways, so it didn't really change anything. The next match, I warned people that if they hung back like that, I would ignore the red team and practice TB on them. A farragut, thinking himself clever started running around me, blocking my path and basically doing absolutely nothing all match. I ignored him and proceeded to sink an enemy BB and damage a cruiser. The farragut spent some time just typing in chat some stupid poo poo directed my way and kept scrapping his side against me and being completely useless. I told him that what I said at the start of the match was simply because I was sick of losing due to people who are afraid of cap points. His answer was, " I've had it. I'm going to kill you." the guy had awful timing. My torpedo bombers and dive bombers were both taking off my carrier's deck. So when I saw him turn around and come towards me, trying to get around the island to "possibly" enact his threat, I didn't take a chance. He tried his best to avoid them, but 2 torpedoes sent him to see Poseidon in very quick fashion. Long story short, I now look fabulous with my pink name. Fake Edit: Right the very next match, he was back in my team cursing me the whole match and calling me a child. But he never once came anywhere close to me.

The huge majority of Tirpitz players don't want to be near you in case you hurt their paint so was probably trying to get away and most Cleveland players are utter poo poo and rely on HE spamming at max range to do anything. Getting close does not compute for them and you can unleash hell.

This turned out to be suprisingly fun, this is what I wanted from Navy Fields 2, but that was horrible. I think this will be my go-to modern boat shooting game now. Also works great for venting some steam after the government cut your naval budget in your current game of 'NWS Rule The Waves'. e: pretty much same for me. \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Feindfeuer fucked around with this message at 13:11 on Sep 24, 2015 |

Dalael posted:Strippers sliding down those masts? Don't worry it happens, yesterday in a Cleveland game I lost turret 1 in my first engagement with a Kongo, no loving clue how he managed to hit me at 16km while I was evading, I still killed him, his Aoba and Cleveland buddy and then helped killing two more BBs for a nice 2.2k base xp game. Would maybe have been a 2.6k or so if i had 4 instead of 3 turrets. Cleveland AP can be so drat funny when it plunges trough the deck armor at 16km, that poor Aoba ate 3 Cits in my first salvo.

I'm enjoying ranked battles even though the wait is longer. The smaller maps and teams make things more interesting, especially if you're grinding tier 6 and 7 anyway (Nagato does particularly well in smaller scale combat it seems). Anyone know if they're going to do any rewards beyond the listed ones?

This statement deserves being empty quoted but I had more questions about IJN cruisers. The Myoko seems like it's a bit of a downgrade from the Aoba, with the exception of the torps. Is it more of a CA to Aoba's CL, and are the HP/armor worth the trade offs?

The Aoba is a CA though, it just has the more classical two fore one aft turret setup, whereas the Myoko has that odd 5 turret setup the Japanese decided to go with.

Perhaps we should first ask WHY you think it's a downgrade. Because as stated, as far as most of us are concerned it's a complete upgrade. Pros +More health and armor +10 guns compared to 6 +Guns have decently longer range +16 torpedoes compared to 8 +Torpedoes do more damage and are faster +Better AA +Faster Cons -3 second longer gun reload time -9 second longer turret rotation time -Very slightly worse rudder shift(0.6 second difference) & larger turning radius -Less concealment Pretty sure that is all the differences, so what were you twigging on?

Even at its max range of 11.8km in stock, you'll land most of your shots, assuming you know how to shoot. I'm not sure about the armor though, I've only died due to user error or being overwhelmed by numbers. It turns like a whale, but other than that, it seems like a great ship.

I met my first one earlier today in my St Louis. I am quite a handy fighter in that little ship but I found I was running like a babby from the Diana, it's way more accurate and seems to be able to engage before the St Louis can fire back. it was quite a surprise. Still killed the fucker though...

Lord Koth posted:Cons Pretty much just that, and the fact that the P-cola is a downgrade. Basically I was wondering whether or not to keep the Aoba for ranked battles or if it's a case of sell and transfer the captain. Also, I completely missed the 3rd rear-facing front turret when I looked at it last night. 2 more guns at a slower reload is questionable, 4 more is a clear upgrade. Also also, the Taco has me paranoid about slow turret traverse.

I've been using my Aoba for ranked and the only niche I've found for it is that 11.8km detection range. It's not like the cleaveland where it's secretly a t8 ship, or the Fuso being better in mid/long range fights than the Nagato. It's perfectly usable though. If anything the biggest stinker in ranked is the pepsicola. Jesus christ they're more citadel than hull.

Does the third Myoko hull have any cool secret bonuses? Just looks like AAA? I liked the Aoba but I already like the Myoko more. First game in it I ravaged a Tirpitz with 53 hits from my guns and a pair of torps to finish her. I was pretty roughed up (8k hp left) but still managed to to kite a Cleveland and Aoba, killing the Cleveland from full health with a surprise 10km torpedo spread and some timely fires. Might have been able to finish the Aoba too but the round ended. I was hesitant to take Demolition Expert over AFT, but I think it was the right choice.

You know when you select your torpedo, you have a green cone that shows the angles you can shoot? You also have a white path? That's where you need to launch your torpedoes to hit whatever ship you are aiming at, according to its current speed and direction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYHG7GMvSXA 3 min video that explains it.
