Aesis posted:Doubt it. Many 203 mm guns get 15.x km range so there's no reason to buff Mogami 203 mm range tbh. Also it'll absolutely kill off New Orleans (it's already subpar compared to Mogami/MK/Atago) because it has 203 mm with slow projectile speed (10.x seconds for 15.x km) and 15.x km range. Hell, even DM only gets 15.8 km range and 11 seconds shell speed (AND high arc). Good points, but I think maybe all CA's in tier 8-10 need a slight range boost to ~17km and maybe US CA's need a slight rof buff. Not sure. Better grind Mogami while I can.

Handsome Ralph posted:Any advice for dealing with the Clevelands really long TOT? Get close, don't engage at 14+km. Use islands etc to get to <10km, your 12 guns group up like nobody's business, and you can pen anything your tier or lower, and depending on whether you get lucky with the hits, AP will work versus higher tier cruisers as well. Your armor is 50% thicker than any other cruiser your tier and below, so angle it and use it to your advantage while scoring 5 citadel hits per volley. No seriously the cleveland is amazing at brawling it out with other CAs, due to the shells going exactly where you need them at <12km, and turning or bouncing most shells shot at her. US guns only pick up the garbage ballistics arc when you push them to their extreme edge of their range, they only arc hard for the last 15% or so. If a Mogami gets within about 8km, you can cripple her with a hit to her broadside, that will get literally 6/6 citadels from your front guns, and take almost all of her health. Do not go broadside with anything that has 203's though, you will enter citadel city, population you. orange juche fucked around with this message at 22:02 on Feb 1, 2016 |

AFT's range boost should have likely been reduced down to 10%, rather than removed all together. That said, I think the community would have been more accepting of it if it wasn't for the bullshit of the massive boosts to the Mikhail Kutuzov. Seriously, the drat thing decently outranges even the T10 cruisers - with their module upgrades, let alone base - despite being two tiers lower and having much smaller guns. It also basically has the same fire speed and turret rotation of the pre-nerf(the initial one) Mogami, which really makes it come across as a blatant "Hey, you liked that ship? Too bad, we're heavily nerfing it but you can pay $60 for this ship that does the same thing!" The penetration of its guns is way off too, as if you watched ichase's review of it, he was dealing heavy damage to a Yamato of all things with AP at a decent range. 152 mm guns should not be reliably penetrating either of the T10 battleships.

I dont know what it is about games I get dunked on early but I always end up doing really well. Was down to about 15-20k in my Nagato within 3 minutes and managed to get a kraken game. Also RNG screwed me hard at the end of the round, was down to 103 hp and an enemy Nagato fired at me and I juked all his shots by a wide wide wide margin except for the 1 shell which was perfectly on target.

I had a game in my tier 6 destroyer where I was brave early and paid for it. Rest of the game I had 300hp and I ended up doing 100,000 torpedo damage and capping out the enemy base to win 20 seconds before the game timer ran out.

Thanks for all the good advice a few pages ago! Here's another question: So in Tanks and Planes, when I elite a vehicle, there's a box to tick that diverts all experience to the crew or pilot. Boats does not appear to have this box. Or is it just hidden somewhere I can't find it? I'd like to keep a few low level ships to gently caress around in, but the idea of them just endlessly accumulating xp that I'll never pay to turn into free xp is grating.

8 straight losses in the Fubuki, 4 of them as top xp, never lower than 5th out of 12 on my team. One of those games the enemy had a Fubuki who got 7 kills because no one on my teams knows what their rudder is for. Three enemy cruisers were chasing/trying to box me in for almost the entire match too so our team should have had a decided firepower advantage. Infuriating.

In this update, we will add four powerful skills, each of which is useful in its own way. A skill that will help you use secondary armament more effectively occupies Level 5. "Manual Fire Control for Secondary Armament" turns off automatic fire completely, and Commanders will now have to use manual designation, so that the secondary armament guns fire at targets. These efforts will be rewarded with a significant increase in the accuracy of the secondary armament. This skill is mostly applied to the high-tier ships. A similar skill, "Manual Fire Control for AA Armament", is on Level 4 and affects anti-aircraft guns. It significantly improves the manual designation for high-caliber guns and will interest those who intentionally increase the effectiveness of their AA guns. The "Survivability Expert" skill will also be added to Level 4. It will increase your ship's number of hit points by a fixed value, multiplied by the Tier of the ship. The "Torpedo Acceleration" skill will appear on Level 4. It will increase the speed of all torpedoes for aircraft and ships but will also reduce their range. While this skill is not always useful for aircraft carriers, it will surely help the Commanders of Japanese destroyers. Their torpedoes often have excessive range that can be sacrificed for more aggressive attacks. The already familiar "Last Stand" skill will be moved to Level 2, becoming more accessible. The bonuses of the Expert Loader, Torpedo Armament Expertise, Vigilance, Jack of All Trades, and Last Chance skills have been increased.

You drop just on the edge of arming distance anyway. The less reaction time the better.

Got my first kill via ramming today! Of course, it was more his choice than mine. Was in my Kongo shooting down the cruiser who was one of the last ships in the enemy fleet. While my main batteries were reloading he decided to ram me, so I turned my prow to his and met him head on. It did a lot more damage to me than I expected, although he did blow up as expected.

Ramming does each ship's full health in damage to the other, modified by the relevant flag, so be careful if/when you get the opportunity to do so.

Many variables are involved there. I am certain that weight of the ship matters a lot. My only Die Hard award I received in Fujin when I was rammed by Mitsuki. I had something around two thirds of my health and was stationary he had something like quarter-third of his health. He rammed me and died.

Over a certain speed, its always ship HP vs ship HP in damage, but below that threshold speed, it does less damage and just ticks rapidly over time.

There'll be another reset, if you max out pearls before then, you should have no trouble knocking over the last few to 260 within a day, it won't reach 6 mill before then.

He decided to do the whole "put his NC in reverse and keep firing at the enemy BB" and ignore the fact that all three enemy destroyers were making a beeline for him and he had no support. He died horribly.
