I love Rainbow Moon.

It is the deepest game ever. Nothing compares to its epic story.

Why would the arkansas beta be hard to get kills in? I have like a 68% win rate and 1.68 kills per game in the thing, it's a beast.

It's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO slow.... and so is the reload time. But I did citadel the poo poo out of the one ship I got in range of.

Now that the game has been out for awhile and money is a little easier to come by, you guys did mod out your arkansas right? You are looking at a ship that can stick t9 mods on it. Last time I took it out, the game went well for me. I don't think those low tiers like it when you put the reload mod on a t4 battleship :haw:

mods installed on mine:
main battery mod 1 & 3
Artillery Piloting room mod 1
Steering gears mod 1 & 2
target acquisition (for the torps as I planned to skip the captain skill and concealment is pointless on a bship)

More tedious than hard, though it's no picnic driving a stock Wyoming in tier 5/6 battles

I'd prefer a fully upgraded wyoming - the arkansas beta is only a better ship than an elite wyoming if you buy all the modules for it, which is around 7 million credits worth.

Bumming around warshipstats.com - My Kuma play is in top 10 kumas on the server with 82% winrate... and I barely remember playing it??

My new mex and fuso have a 6:1 K:D ratio, so I checked out NA server ship analytics - the highest new mex and fuso K:D ratio is 43:1.

There are too many stupid people in the world. I'm not saying we should kill them all or anything. Just take the warning labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself.

Were you also chatting with me, or was that an oops?

Anyway, when do the weekly things for Pearls reset? I've only got 3 games so far this week because I've been sick and felt like poo poo.

I wonder if the class/tier/etc missions will also reset along with the weekly. That'll more readily net you the 260 pearls anyway.

Also, I just took a look and apparently I drive my premium ships too much. I'm currently sitting on 179k of convertable xp. I was thinking of using it to get to one of the t6 carriers because I'm being reminded what made the langley bad even back in CB. And the hosho isn't much better. I mean, it moves better, but that limited plane allotment.

The fact he put it in there is not mentioned anywhere in any of the change logs at all. I just noticed when I grabbed the latest version tonight & ran it. The funny thing is I've been meaning to ask him if he would consider adding it but I guess I don't have to anymore ! :haw:

Botes on medium settings @ 25 fps and Botes on ultra settings @ 60 fps are in fact two completely different games. I blew the first carrier game because I was too busy looking at 90% of the action that had not existed to me before.

It is the deepest game ever. Nothing compares to its epic story.
First ranked match of the day.

We capture both points, enemy never captured any.

We have only lost one ship, and have 800 points. Entire team suicides and dies. We lose. They never cap anything.

Another first place star loss. Not sure what else I can do.

I took a hiatus from this game for some time, I'm thinking about playing it again.
Have they made any significant changes to the German cruiser line?
Specifically, is the Yorck a decent ship that fits into the game now?

It's probably better than the Pensecola, but I'm not sure by how much.

I'm assuming they haven't changed the velocity of the 210mm shells, which was my primary issue with the ship in the first place.
But whatever, it's that time of the year where I want to play botes so botes I will play.

They changed the turrets to no longer have a "worse than some BBs" turn time.

I'm always surprised as a BB driver how well german cruisers can AP hit you. If I don't take them as a serious threat, no need for them to obtain a citadel, half my health will be gone in 5-6 well-placed volleys.

T7 to T10 IJN Cruisers: Myoko (FUN!!!), Mogami (cleve style fun but need AFT!), Ibuki (kind of meh because of tier matchup), Zao (performs very well in Tier X)

T7 to T10 US Cruisers: Pensacola (Gross), New Orleans (slightly less gross but worse tier matchups), Baltimore (slightly less gross but terrible against its tier matchups and eats credits for breakfast), Des Moines (situationally fun in Tier X)

Funnily enough, that velocity issue is only on the AP shells. The HE are notably faster and have a beter trajectory when you're firing at long range. That's because the AP are lovely old WWI-vintage shells while the HE are newer shells developed for those guns (then used as a shore battery) shortly before WWII.

The current verdict is that the Yorck should simply not use AP past 12km or so unless you feel lucky about someone showing broadside and going in a straight line.

I'm gradually grinding up the Ibuki toward Zao. On paper it's a worse Myoko, but has decent armor for an IJN Cruiser, plus the repair ability to help staying power. I run with camo and the ROF mod for main guns, rather than range, because I feel like the max range accuracy isn't great. It might be able to do invisible shooting if you spec it for it but that's not really my style. So far I have a pretty awful win rate which I'd say is related to the inability of a cruiser to really influence T10 battles, but it's fun to use.

...on the plus side I'm feeling much more angry now than I expected so this totally helps me get in character.
Just got the Cleveland, should I take Demolition Expert or Advanced Fire Training? I kind of want both, I'm thinking of not taking a rank 5 skill and instead taking the other 4. I don't think the Cleveland really benefits greatly from any of the rank 5s, but maybe one of you wants to dissuade me? Anyway, in either case, which rank 4 should I take first?

Velius
Feb 27, 2001
I got both for my Mogami, not probably will do the same for the Ibuki/Zao captain. Not sure how much HE the US cruisers will use, depends on where you're going to leave the guy.

It's a permanent Cleveland captain. I'm going to train another for higher cruisers.

I'm not experienced enough with the Cleveland to know if it's worth the points. I'd say screw tier 5 skills for sure, and probably you don't need the one that gives an extra consumable spot. But I usually use three tier 1s, which puts the arsonist skill at like 16 or 17 points or something.

Oh, then get Demolition Expert. It's a pain in the rear end to hit ships at 17km with a 17 second flight time, and more fire is always more good.
