I finally unlocked the Zao thanks to some hardcore Ibuki grinding with the win bonus + Christmas gold camo. Mother of god it is everything I dreamed it would be. The guns are loving railguns and you can just deliver absurdly accurate HE volleys while stealthed at 16+km. Those torps are lighting fast too, I'm in love.

just had a game in my new carrier where I couldnt control my planes anyway. The icon switched to a circle with a line through it and they just flew around my carrier at low speed. Did I gently caress something up?

What voicechat and ingame chat channels are EU goons hanging around in these days, anyway? Edit: Also, got my Emden. The "set 20 things on fire" final leg of the challenge was done in three games. HE-spam Kuma is still a ludicrous murderboat. Magni fucked around with this message at 14:29 on Dec 29, 2015 |

Main Battery Modification 2 says: Increases the traverse speed of the main turrets: +10% to main battery loading time +15% to the main battery traverse speed Is that just Russian for "10% improvement in loading time" or does this actually mean that if I'm in a slugging match with another BB he's just going to outdamage me because I'm taking 10% longer to load each salvo?

yes that modification is a trade-off. you improve turret traverse at the cost of reload speed

So according to the WoWs forums, the Karlsruhe is a bad ship. That was my first match in her, with the modules unlocked with free xp.

Anything to reduce that monstrous 72 second rotation is arguably worth the 3 second slower reload speed. You don't necessarily need it, but it actually can be useful for that singular ship.

So, how do nazi cruisers and russian DDs work anyway? You know, outside the german T2-3 and russian T2-4 seeming to be complete junk. (Jury's still out on the Karlsruhe.) Seriously, what are the Derzki and Izyaslav supposed to do outside of suicide-charging other ships?

And they are not junk. I liked both of those ships. Russian DDs are gunboats with torpedoes for good ambush. Russian DDs have best guns out of DD lines and they are speediest buggers. German cruisers are support ships. Little armor, sluggish rudder, bad HE shells. On other hand they have best AP shells and best range out of their peers. Konigsberg is arguably best tier 5 CA.

Picked the game up again for a bit after not having played since beta. Either I've gotten worse or the Kawachi is just as garbage as it was back then - no range, no speed, no armor, no damage (except for that one hilarious time when you full pen a cruiser with AP and oneshot him). The Phoenix is just as amazing as I remembered, though:    Died at the very end against the very last Wyoming when I was trying to pick that last kill up. Oh well. A question, though: High Alert or Superintendent for a US cruiser captain? I've tried to look it up but nothing I've found will tell me what consumables higher tier US cruisers will get. If it's just Hydroacoustic Search and the spotting plane all the way I'm thinking I might go High Alert instead.

At tier 6 you get the option to swap Hydro for Defensive Fire, which messes up bomber drops inside your AA radius and buffs AA damage. It's a little less useful now than before, since CVs are At tier 9 you get Damage Control Party, which is the heal BBs get. The cruiser version was recently buffed to have 33% of citadel damage be repairable, but still has one less charge than the BB version. Note that all consumables get one more charge when using the premium versions.

I think my most amusing experience in the Kawachi was firing a broadside at a cruiser retreating behind an island, realize I'd aimed decently behind him(it was a snap shot), and proceed to watch one shell deviate far off from my aim point, at an extremely strange angle at that, fly over the hill and Detonate him.

MREBoy posted:So I've been fiddling with the graphics file for the shell smoke trails, and accidentally came up with this: That seems cool. It'd probably be hugely distracting, though, but it also clearly delineates what angle your shells are coming in from. Have you considered fiddling with the ricochet graphic? Making it more obvious would be useful in telling people when their shells are bouncing off the deck or something.

Derzki is not bad for a tier three when fully upgraded and a good commander. People at that tier are surprisingly unaware of what happens when you let a DD in close enough to unload 10 torpedoes on you and it can reload before you have time to react well. The dude chasing you has cause to worry because you can unload on it too. I dumped 6 into a South Carolina sank it while the remaining 4 went to a Wickes who was pursuing me, sank it too. What sucks is you have to get up close and personal else the 3km range on them means poo poo. But you can unload volley after volley without a care in the world almost.

Tried the same with the Izzy earlier, but her 102mm guns aren't quite up to that with any kind of reliability.

Lady Morgaga posted:Generally, in my experience, you have pretty good chances to close the gap in Derpski. Kawachi and South Carolina just cannot reliably hit you. St.Louis is very dangerous but it can be ambushed and then its not avoiding point-blank torpedo wall. And it feels like you outshoot Tenryu specially if it shows you broadside. It has 20 seconds torpedo reload. It is very very dangerous ship if sailed smart. Yeah it have had a couple of good matches and others where I got one shotted by the South Carolina that had good aim.

EDIT:To expand a bit about IJN DD guns. Its not like you never shoot them. If you can secure a kill you do it, if you can help pile some more damage on a cruiser that busy fighting with another cruiser you shoot them. It just that you dont go into gun duel expecting to win it. The guns have atrocious reload times with atrocious turn rates. Magni posted:With the Gnevny, yeah.

Lady Morgaga posted:Cleveland has bizarrely placed and well armored citadels. As a correction - Cleveland citadels have been for the most part fixed and should be in line with the rest of the USN cruiser line - somewhat harder to pen than other boats, but still doable. And you mean strong up to tier 6, not including tier 7, the Pensacola.
