gently caress you, pubbie thundercunts  Murdered all their destroyers, and three cruisers and we still manage to lose.Last five minutes of the game is me and ryujo resetting the cap points from 950 back to 880, again and again. Missed the Fuso coming straight at me on my last torp run, while I was sitting in smoke with three cruisers within 8k of me.

I was ~2km from a loving St. Louis in my Derpski and fired one volley of 3 torpedoes. All three hit and they did not kill him. The St. Louis went on to kill me.

Nothing like having the reds get all four cap circles while the cluster of retards just putter around at the map borders taking potshots because they're afraid of the damage rendering of their precious pixels. When I'm playing a BB, I'll snipe for a little while in the beginning, but then will just go in at some point and try to do as much damage as I can before I die. One of my favorite games was sailing up the middle in Two Brothers in my Tirpitz, torpedoing one red Tirpitz and ramming another. Another time I did that, I fired torpedoes on both sides of me all the while my secondaries are broadsiding like crazy. It was glorious.

It'd be on par with the Clemson if it weren't made out of engines and rudders and the occasional magazine.

Hey guys, I've been playing this game for a while and only now realized that there were probably a good amount of you guys playing it. Just wanted to pop by and give you my two cents on the Nürnberg, a ship that I struggled with at first but now love with a passion. It may very well be the most fragile cruiser I have played in the game yet, which at first I thought was a total disadvantage. However, it forces you to change your playstyle, which I think will come in handy for the later tiered German cruisers. The HE on this ship is lackluster, and I would almost recommend firing AP a majority of the time. This ship also appears to be heavily reliant on modifications, and they will vastly increase this ships potential. Running at about a 2.2 K/D in the Nurnberg so far. Loving this little machine gun.

I was just in a game where an enemy carrier wasted 4 torpedo bomber strikes on my Kolberg (two totally whiffed). That alone should lock you out of using a carrier for like 30 days.

My first Kolberg game was tier 5, as the only tier 3, and the enemy carrier went out of its way to bomb me first. I don't know why: a Kolberg in tier 5 is lucky to break 10000 damage.

I know we've all had bad teams, but I was just in a Tier IV game and the top two xp ships on my side were Kolbergs at just over 400 each. Needless to say it was a slaughter. Finally used the gold camo for the first time in my Mogami. 2x for the first win, xp flag, camo = 10k+ woo

I really need to start enabling replays. Just got a beautiful game with my Mogami. 166 hits, 6 torpedo hits, 163k total damage game. High Calibur, and my last torpedo spread getting me a Flesh Wound on my second Tirpitz of the game. Ended up with 2,163 BEXP, which after the x2 came out to 4,326. Not sure what it would have been if I'd had the gold paint and flag stacked as well.

So what's the verdict with the Yorck? I'm getting mine later tonight hopefully, but I'm worried because I haven't heard anything good from anyone I've talked to. It has big guns though, that will probably be fun. Edit: What in the FLYING gently caress is up with an 8 km concealment range on a carrier? Is this a loving joke? I knew exactly where he was on the map but couldn't shoot him, meanwhile wave after wave of planes was loving pummeling me. I'm heated right now.

Apparently when adding the German cruisers somebody thought that 6" guns with less penetration than the 5" guns on US destroyers were a necessary addition to this game. At least Karlsruhe usually does nonzero damage when it hits.

Ah ok, I free xp'd past the Karlsruhe after one game so my recollection of that ship was pretty non-existent. Edit: Just had this gem of a match, entire team went east, I decided to go west. I killed the four ships that went east, and then went to go support my team. My teammates were dropping like flies, and I figured the only way we'd win is if I capped, so I ninja capped and they couldn't get to me fast enough. No confederate medal so I clearly didn't deserve all six of the kills, but I did what I had to do to win.

WoT has a small hidden XP boost for doing damage to tanks within 200m of yourself, I wonder if a larger and more visible boost for close range (under 10km, say) BB damage would motivate pubbies to close the range?

First day back playing in weeks, I fire one gun on my Minekaze and the client freezes until the server kicks me out, and the server won't let me back in the game until my ship sinks, Wargaming are loving terrible. I've played AW all week, it's still in beta and yet it's never crashed or locked up on me. Someone tell Obsidian to make a ships game and I'll be all over it.

I got my Yorck last night, and I managed to get a couple games in with it before I went to bed. I have to say so far I am NOT impressed, and I think it might be my least favorite ship in the game at this point. The guns are short barreled 21,0 cm guns, and the shell arc is pretty similar to that of the 15,0 cm guns on the Nurnberg. Per volley I seem to be doing the same amount of damage I was doing in the Nurnberg, and the turret traverse would make some battleships laugh. Weak armor, weak AA, I'm just not seeing a strong point with this ship.

I've Detonated a Konigsberg with secondaries(admittedly while in a Nagato), so there's that about them regarding their armor.

I dont think ill be able to go past the Konigsberg even though the Hipper, Roon, and Hindy look pretty good Enjoying the Tier IV Russian DD (Izya) so far. Finally had two games with the Salem Witch.

I was easily wrecking even mogamis in a straight up brawl, and with a good range I could set BBs on fire with reasonable safety. The armor and AA are truly the only downsides to the Nurnberg.

I just had to deal with one of those stupid halloween event matches where you have to be on a team with a slightly buffed carrier ("phantom fortress" or whatever) but your team is also 5 ships outnumbered. Surprise surprise the carrier does not make up for the numbers imbalance and you are guaranteed to lose. Thanks

After playing artillery in WoT a while back, I was excited to try carriers in WoWs, so I picked up a Hosho last week. While I'm still pretty bad with my torpedo planes, what's really getting to me is how dreadful my fighters are. If I have them engage a single squadron from a Langley, I usually lose all my fighters while the other squadron loses none. The 6 v 4 is terrible. And once my fighters are gone, my torpedo bombers are defenseless. It only gets worse when I get up against a Bogue and there are two fighter squadrons to maul my one. Does this get any better for Japanese carriers further down the tree?

The Salem Witch thing makes you realize how closer their 5 and 10 are in boats than in tanks. Imagine a tier 10 tank in WoT being in a tier 5 match.
