Feindfeuer posted: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. I think they would be rather OP and they need to think about balancing before implementing that. e: Pre-Nerf Hedgehogs in NF were OP as gently caress. Especially on the DD MP. Turned you into a driving shotgun.

Even without Hedgehogs the british DCs are pretty hilarious. The T3 DD launches two at the back like usual, but two more are launched about a ship-length away to either side. I dunno if I'll every actually manage to hit something with that, but it sure gives you a much larger threat radius against deep subs. Also, Pubbies.jpg:

I can't find many reasons to play british carriers except that their torpedo bomber in tier 10 is the best despite it being the slowest

tripple post combo the patch notes are amazing https://steamcommunity.com/app/390670/discussions/0/494631967651246417/ fleet battle time has been changed to tuesday and saturday I don't even know what "increase all the aircraft carriers' oil amount" means If you are a sub waiting for a match, they have to pair a DD on the other team. This will be ignored if you wait 5 minutes in que. No more MVPs tier 4 and below  quote:Add DIY painting function. Add English description of painting configuration location under DIY file catalog. quote:1. Find the SeaGame folder in the installation directory (Usually: "\Steel Ocean\SeaGame"). Find the DIYPaintConfig folder in SeaGame.

 Looks like some new events are up. Including some gold doubling recharge bonus things, not sure if those stack with the normal recharge bonus things. You can get 180 merit a day by winning two 5v5 fights. Also a Japanese version of ToraToraTora is up, 3 Japs sunk = 90 merit. Also, you can get 5 adv smoke bombs for winning two Tier 9/10 matches, lol. [edit] The special national paint schemes are 125 gold for a 7 day rental

The Fubuki is unstoppable. I've won gunfights with cruisers with the stupid thing, it is so much with the shooting. Two salvos will wipe out most DDs.

The DC spread on the Tier II (and maybe all) British destroyers is interesting. Takes a second or so for those side ones to get lobbed out that far though, so the timing is a bit weird.

Trip Report on British Destroyers:  They're slow, their guns are short ranged, the Tier 3 DD has no manual AA guns, the Tier 4 DD has a single 4-tube centerline launcher.

Probably is, I often found myself out of range of other destroyers while they were taking pot shots at me. At least it felt like it.

For me the main drawback is the poor spotting range. Everything else I can offset or take as a tradeoff, but a DD with poor base spotting range hurts. Especially when the enemy scout screen then sees you first.

With the same upgrades/officers, the Tier 3 Brit DD only had a bit over 100m less spotting range than my Fubuki, it isn't that bad on spotting.

Assuming you mean scout range upgrades? The carrier itself? Almost certainly. The planes? Rather unlikely.

Galaga Galaxian posted:Assuming you mean scout range upgrades? The carrier itself? Almost certainly. The planes? Rather unlikely. Obviously not for the planes. But having the spotter upgrade on a CV - for the lack of something better - seems like a good idea to defend a bit better against plane attacks.

Oyodo trip report: The guns are actually pretty good against destroyers and subs- this thing is probably the ultimate sub hunter with torpedo bombers, tightly spread guns, and depth charges. Also it has 16 AA guns. I've been getting about two kills a game with it and learned how to aim torp bombers with it, though the planes it has are flimsy as hell.

I managed to run out of torpedoes as a sub. After killing 3 BBs, a sub, and finishing a second sub with my deck gun. I think I love subs now.
