Whenever I shoot at BBs I try to aim so that I'll hit open deck or the smokestacks. Open deck plunging fire will usually penetrate and smashing the smoke stacks will gently caress up the engine. I've also noticed the Omaha's guns will pierce the smoke stacks on a BB and help do some damage.

I usually aim for the mid-ship turrets if the ship has them, reasoning that magazine hits are good. Not that I've ever been sure if you can get something like magazine criticals. Is that sort of thing what happens when one of your shots returns a big, bolded 200 instead of a modest 60-70 (or whatever)? I figured that was just penetrating shots vs partial penetrations.

You can definitely get magazine criticals that instantly kill a boat. I know I torpedoed a guy amidships once and hit his fuel supply, destroying it, which blew his boat up instantly.

Just an FYI, People from "6th Reich" fleet will TK you on sight. Apparently they have something against Goons. Did we pwn them in fleet battle or something?

Well, they'll probably be blue so we can just sink them as soon as the match starts without consequence right? E: Also can we change the name? We should be Boatse.

It looks like T2 throwaway accounts though. They mowed down my sub with a South Carolina and a Farragut, but their T3 didn't do a thing and was not blue.

Galaga Galaxian posted:Japanese destroyers are great. I unlocked the tier 5 one, cashed in the escalator prize for getting a t5 and fully upgraded it with the global XP  It's a little slower than the t4 but packs a lot more wallop without becoming huge and unwieldy. The torps especially are magical: 930+ damage and a range of 4km... those juicy BBs sitting out there thinking 'haw haw, he can't reach me from here. No need to move yet' are getting a very unpleasant wake up call.

I sunk some blue guy who was shelling another ship at the start of a match - it immediately turned me blue and told me what a bad person I was.

Oh I finally see the advantage of gold torpedos. 500m more range and about 7 more knts speed. Well...

I dunno, unless you have a dumpster fire of money to pull some gold out, I think a second smoke would be far more usefull. An extra 500m won't matter against people who you'd want to gold torp and the knt speed increase is nice, but will be rough going back and forth between silver and gold imo. Are there gold payouts like WOT?

dark judges accept anyone into their group and have something like 140 members. They have 10 or 15 good players. goons think that every person with a dark judge tag is one of their good players

I just witnessed the best game-ender ever. It cannot be topped. Our Independence, out of planes, charged and rammed to death the enemy carrier to finish the game and win. It was beautiful.

The buddy I play with rolled a +500m spotting range commander and stuck him on his rangefinder boosted Mahan. Now he plays that and I play a BB and we just dunk all over our foes without them seeing us back. He got MVP of a game for spotting damage and fighting off a single Fubuki and sub alone.

Do commander skills stack? Some of their skills have the same name, like "Enhanced Engine", and I need to know if I can pile a bunch of those guys on my Fubuki and have it go 43 knots.

quote:Primary new content After 1 bad run in my first Nip CA I've found that sweet spot and just wreck teams with it. Just sit about 2km away from your guys and shell things they find. I like skirting the edges of the map for this which usually leaves their carrier wide open to just get ruined. A few extra torps for those stationary BB's. So satisfying to just rail the other teams ships.

Checking the British DDs noticed right away that they have the best sonars, best turning and get 4x1 DC launchers at t2. Interesting note too is that the t3 DD guns have precision ranging from 128 to 120, compared to the other countires 100.

British DD stats updated on the sperg sheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SQL1myq-BMaIm1Vlkvxu-8klDObCN9PGznUTtpWipTA/edit#gid=211758376 basically they are better at turning, tend to be smaller, and have better depth charges. The tier 9 has 11 depth charges. lol Sonar is also good they are the worst scout and tend to have lovely horse power but tend to be much smaller later on

Do the Brits get Hedgehog anti-submarine projectors later on? That would be sweet and would get me to tech down the british DD line just for that.
