 We won this btw. I'm still unsure how considering the xp distribution there. I mean, me being in second is pretty funny anyway, but you know, st louis and all that. Bu the hilarity really goes to our kawachi outpacing our karhl as well. I'd point out the carriers too, but at the same time, t4 is also their learning time and both kind of suck at carrier gameplay anyway thanks to the tiny aircraft hangars.

xthetenth posted:What ships do you have? That will work for the mission? Independence, Cleveland, Aoba, New Mexico, Fuso, Farragut, Mutsuki, Atlanta, though the Farragut is brand new. The problem isn't that none of my ships can kill them, the problem is that there are typically 0-2 destroyers per side when I drive my tier 6s, the only people driving them at that high a tier are incredibly cagey, and it basically comes down to being lucky enough to be the nearest ship, already aimed near enough to them, when they have low enough hp that it's time to sink.

the blys has worked well for me on getting the dd kills I have so far. But that has also led to me having something like 200k of convertable xp now across all my premium and elite ships.

Spotted a PRC destroyer earlier today, so clearly they're testing some ships. Tier 6 Anshan, specifically. Didn't get a good look at it since it was on the other side of the battlefield for most of the battle, but seems to be gunboatish like the Soviet DDs - which somewhat makes sense since that class was made by them.

I chased an Ognevoi all around New Dawn in my Aoba once we had the victory in the bag, and when I finally had it cornered with no hp, it was sunk by the secondaries from a Kongo that didn't even know it was there. Good times. Also, what's the level 4 skill of choice for a Japanese cruiser captain, still AFT? NTRabbit fucked around with this message at 12:25 on Jan 29, 2016 |

Good times. I've been playing my Kuma again a bit and I'd recommend AFT. The shells are pretty floaty at extreme range but it has a high enough RoF to allow for good compensation. The other option would be pyromaniac and I at least feel like the range is more of a problem given it sees tier 6 with good frequency. It's pretty annoying getting Ocean in a 12.5 km range cruiser. On the other hand, I don't even have AFT on mine and I've been doing pretty well. I'm garbage with actual destroyers, but playing Kuma like a bigger gun destroyer and avoiding direct fights has been working out.

Finally unlocked anime troll Kongo last night. I'll probably never play it but it was an entertaining challenge. Especially the 150 aircraft in the Murmansk & Cleveland. The ten million in HP damage I managed in one afternoon/evening. The 150 aircraft was more challenging as I never seemed to get games where there was a CV on the other side. On the flip side when there were it was usually 2 and they immediately targeted me so I was busy dodging torpedoes.

NTRabbit posted:Also, what's the level 4 skill of choice for a Japanese cruiser captain, still AFT? Yep. I'd say it's worth it just to push out the range on your 25mm AA guns. AFT and the AA upgrade module gives them a range of 4.3km or so, and those guns are the vast majority of your AA DPS. NTRabbit posted:
In addition to the base caps, xp is also based on what percentage of a ship's HP you damage. So you generally get more xp for doing 90-100% of a destroyer's HP than 40% of a battleship's HP, even though you get more raw damage from the battleship.

On the flip side when there were it was usually 2 and they immediately targeted me so I was busy dodging torpedoes. 1 million HP in damage. Thats something like 10-ish Fuso games. I did unlock both ARP ships and I did it mostly in Cleveland. Second stages of both missions makes sense doing concurrently. "There is no CVs in game? Well at least Ill set some fires." Although I found 150 aircraft stage annoying because it was stage that mostly depended on luck. Even if there is CV on other team nothing guarantees that it will send planes anywhere close to you. But in other game those two enemy CV just have to kill that battleship you escorting and you get 30+ plane kills. This inconsistency annoyed me greatly. With fires stage while it was kinda long to do at least you could do consistent amount of fires per game. And hey at least those ARP ships freed up two slots for me.

Could you post the source of the change log saying it was buffed or show posts showing it was stealth buffed after testing?

It now increases your proximity detect range by 50% (from 2km to 3km, this is your assured detection range, even behind mountains and in smoke), and increases your torpedo detection range by 20%. Just to note, all high tier torpedoes received sizable buffs to their detection radius, meaning that if you don't roll with Vigilance or the Target Acquisition Mod, you'll spot IJN torps 20% later than before. Gee, what a coincidence!

The gently caress is it with people in DDs not looking where they are going that end up crashing into your BB or other slow ship, then start bitching at you for it?

Incidentally, Vigilance and the Target Acquisition Mod do NOT stack, so if your captain happens to already have Vigilance for whatever reason, it's still basically worthless. Even without possessing that skill the Concealment mod is still an arguable choice, even in battleships, since it allows you to get that much closer to that Yamato - possibly even into your own gun range! - before it starts shooting you.

I've been told it DOES stack, but the only consensus I can find is that IF it stacks, its not additively. It just so happens that testing this is rather difficult. The benefit of stacking, if they do, is minor to non-existent. Take one or the other, not both.

Anyways, just got out of a game in my 155 mm Mogami with a rather ...interesting finish. Caught a Ranger at 13 km, and opened fire. Six salvos later, I'd gotten plenty of hits, 4 citadels, and no fires. Yes, I was shooting HE - I even checked after the first two. I'm not even sure what to call that kind of luck. Sure, citadels with HE are nice, but I'm hunting fires at the moment, so can't help but be a bit annoyed.

So if you earn one of the ARP ships in a game, then hit "Battle On," it'll force you into that new ship in the next match. No chance to add upgrades or captain skills or anything. Great job Wargaming, that's exactly what I wanted to happen when I hit the button that's supposed to put you in the queue with the same ship.  .

I have a ton of respect for the Nagato and really enjoyed driving it. But I feel like I'm doing dramatically better in the Amagi in terms of overall team contribution - a lot more citadels and kills.
