So how the heck are you supposed to play a BB on pubbie servers, when the cruisers and destroyers immediately scatter and refuse to screen you under any circumstances? Should I just be hovering around the edge of battles and sniping?

If you're playing with pubbie teams, lagging behind the cruiser/destroyer flotilla or joining up with them when they reverse direction to broadside in a ship line is your best bet. The real answer if anyone is playing this game is, even if you don't have a mic, get on teamspeak and chill in the WoWS lobby to see if anyone wants to division up. Goon divisions are the most OP thing in the game.

And yes, divisioning with goons ensures that you get a semi-competent friendly nearby who will be able to do something for you, be it pop a Defensive Fire or Smoke Cloud for you if the going gets rough. Or at least tank the enemy for a few seconds before they get themselves killed.

I just had a DD charge my BB during the end of a long BB fight. I'm shooting AP rounds at it because I haven't switched over yet and bring it down to 15 hp before it vomits forth about a dozen torps. I ended up getting one more salvo off to kill him but I take 5 torps in a row and die. 15 goddamn health... Edit: Very next game, I detonated up a cruiser at about 75% health.

If destroying the French fleet was good enough to turn the tide against a dominant continental power once it'll be enough again .

Is there any way to make the compass or crosshairs give degree bearings instead of compass directions? My friends and I are starting to have a little trouble coordinating, because "New target is the guy more northwest than the other guy" is a little less precise than just saying "the cruiser at 290"

You could just target them and hit F3, I think, for the "Focus fire" emote/marker.

Pretty mediocre compared to you guys but I'm starting to get the hang of it. Any tips on getting citadels? I keep aiming for mid-ship at the waterline but can't reliably hit them. I've pretty much given up on German ships above Tier I. All of the fines were retribution for idiots ramming or shooting me first.

The Aoba honeymoon ended fast. Not because of any obvious flaw in the ship itself, but from being put on teams of morons six times in a row and constantly singled out by every loving Cleveland on the other team.

Right now citadels are kinda weird and AP is acting a bit flaky since the patch. Certain ships - especially low tier Carriers and Japanese cruisers like the Tenryu, Kuma, Furutaka feel extremely vulnerable to them. The Phoenix and Omaha are not especially tough either. The citadels are typically located under the turrets and low along the middle of ship (engine/boilers). Those ships ive mentioned not only have thin armor, but huge citadels. Ive seen people say that the bridge on some ships counts too but I dont know about that. Lakedaimon fucked around with this message at 07:14 on Nov 12, 2015 |

Ships with guns below 203mm caliber do not have citadel hurtboxes for their magazines, only for the engine room. You can still hit the magazines, it just won't do citadel damage.

So... they didn't fix the 100% bonus to that dogfighting skil... in this mini patch... that's odd. Also, the nerf to flooding is pretty bad. Had 15 torp hits with my CV 2 floods.

Maybe? We will find out in about 2 hours here. Also sorry for using this thread to talk about bad chinese game as well. I figured they are almost direct copies so why not, plus this doesn't seem to active and I am sure the chinese one won't stay active.

All cruisers are busy making GBS threads out broadsides and have all the guns, destroyers get to death ride with torpedoes, and battlecruisers can have reliable turret flash fires. The best carrier available is also either the Langley or Hosho.

their premium system isn't too horrible. +50% silver and exp 30 days 4,500 gold 150 gold / day 90 days 11,800 gold 131 gold / day 180 days (plus free ship the conneticut tier 2) 17,800 gold 98 gold / day +100% silver and exp 60 matches 3,000 gold 120 matches 6,000 gold 240 matches 12,000 gold each are 50 gold per match They have gold packs that you can purchase eac only once and get double gold from. Total is 155,500 gold with 155,500 bonus. This is a whale thing lol. The total for this is $311. Otherwise $1 is 500 gold. This is twice as expensive as the package rate. VIP 30 days is then 9 bucks without packages. For 180 days it is 35.60 without packages. There is also a growth plan which is crafty. You pay 10,800 gold or 21.60 without packages and upon researching a single Tier 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 you will make back 22,000 gold and 172,000 global exp. Does any other game like this do a growth plan?

Under water sub to sub ramming is a thing but they have to be at the same Z level there is surface, under water, and deep under water. The deeper you are the more oxygen you use. I have 2.50 minutes underwater at the first level. I have to surface to refill oxygen at a 1:1 ratio.

Wargaming.jpg Now I wonder if they're even aware of the bug. Also, the nerf to CV torp bomber flooding rate is balanced by the removal of high tier resistance to flooding damage. Before, high tier ships would take reduced damage from flooding compared to lower tiered ships. If they changed that, but left the flooding rate unchanged, it'd be a buff to high tier CVs, something which is presently 100% uncalled for. IMO, they didn't go far enough with the increased dispersion on the high tier US CV TB spread, but its a step in the right direction.

Surcouf costs €100 worth of gold and the premium ammo does both more damage and have more penetration, with no option to buy it for silver so screw that.

Surcouf is half of that with packages, which is still dumb. Also my favorite gold round.  It is more of an idiot round since you don't really gain much from it. 10% speed and 1 damage. DDs are like 35 km/h and other ships are way slower. Subs are 15-10 km/h The gold rounds are more like world of tanks where they barely help and lol at people using them.
