Unfortunately fixing the overmatch problem would require literally rewriting the overmatch mechanics. The plane, from what I've heard. Personally, my solution to buffing CA detection against DDs would have been manual control over their scout/fighter within a certain range of the ship, but a god radar for 30 seconds is ok too (its actually super heavy-handed, but likely a LOT easier to code).

I would say it can't be that hard to code control of the plane, carriers literally have that as equipment slots. But Wargaming.

The Tier 7 (Kiev) was once highly overpowered, but it got hit pretty hard with nerfs. I don't really see people using them in the ranked/ladder matches, but still plenty of them in the normal random battles.

IJN cruisers have a tendency to randomly explode if a battleship has the right firing solution though.

The Derzki is good, the Izyaslav is mediocre, the Gnevny is bad, the Ognevoi looks worse, so you need to push on through a lot of poo poo after the Derzki before you get to another decent ship in the Kiev. In contrast, IJN destroyers don't have a single lemon in the entire line. American ones are a little more variable, but they don't leave you with 3 bad ones in a row in the mid tiers to agonise through.

Iowa on my team had a game with a Devastating Strike, Fireproof, Dreadnought, Close Quarters Expert, High Caliber, and Kraken (6 kills) and I still got 400+ more exp than he did. Some days it seems to make no sense.

I probably should of said I was a returning player who played during closed beta and shortly after the last wipe. So already got experience in the IGN and US DD's I tended to like my fast shooty more. Also the german cruisers. how are they compared to the other two lines?

So already got experience in the IGN and US DD's I tended to like my fast shooty more. Well you already know USN DDs, so in contrast Russian DDs have slightly more powerful, longer ranged, higher velocity and flatter arc guns that are much better for shooting at long range, and can citadel a lot of cruisers. Up until tier 9, those guns are curtailed by turrets that spin like Japanese ones, meaning you almost never get to make full use of them, because you have to choose between shooting and dodging, can't do both at the same time like the Americans. You also have torpedoes that you will essentially never fire, because they have 4km range only. Russians are also the easiest to spot. German cruisers have thin hulls, weak HE shells, but strong AP performance, torpedoes, and AA between the IJN and USN

Hazdoc posted:the Ognevoi is good IF NOBODY SHOOTS YOU. The exact same goes for the Gnevny, because if anyone is shooting at you you have to dodge so hard the guns can't track. The nice guns on paper don't mean a lot when you can't keep them pointed at the target. MrKatharsis posted:The Gnevny and the Ognevoi are awesome if you watch a few youtube videos instead of just rushing ahead to duel Americans. Americans, Japanese, and all Cruisers, you mean.

Lady Morgaga posted:IJN DDs have Mitsuki. Weakest DD in its tier IMO. Long torpedo reloads and completely defenseless. The Mutsuki is great though? The longer torp reloads just mean you get to stealth sink ships less often than the Minekaze, but the upgraded turrets are better at self defence than the Minekaze, on the rare occasions I'm actually spotted. To me the Mutsuki is strongest in tier, it's just not overwhelmingly strongest in tier like the Minekaze is at 5.

Minekaze puts twice as many torpedoes in water as Mitsuki does. Mitsuki gets 10km torps that dont really need that range. She and Minekaze have similar detection ranges. You want to be close to target as possible so torps travel less and spread out less. Mitsuki gets twice weaker torp armament and gets nothing in return. Concerning Mitsuki's gun armament the fact that it only has 2 guns means that she and Minekaze both shoot roughly 4 shells in 10 seconds. Minekaze's advantage here that she has 4 turrets instead of 2.

Mutsuki (33k) is my second highest performing destroyer by the most valid metric, average damage, after the Minekaze (42k), with the Izyaslav (30k) a shock third place. By average XP it's actually a long way in front, 1900 to the Minekazes's 1400 and Nicholas 1300. NTRabbit fucked around with this message at 12:34 on Feb 21, 2016 |

How come that the people with the most cowardly playstyles always choose battleships? I got sunk as a carrier because the 3 battleships protecting me ran away from 3 cruisers.

TBH the best protection you'll ever have in a carrier is sinking the guy who is closest to you every time, or at the very least, taking 3/4 of his health so your teammates tunnel on the easy kill.

I installed this game last night, since I am a WoT player and I figured I'd check it out. The game is extremely pretty and seems fun. Discord told me to go get a St. Louis to start and then see how I feel from there. What are some good lines for new players? The thread made Russia and Germany seem extremely unappealing. Also I am a scumfuck bastard who plays artillery on WoT. It seems I'll fit in here with having to lead shots and predict! Are CVs fun? They seem like the WoWS equivalent of being a trashy artillery player, except with airplanes.

CVs are fun, get the Hosho at the very least. Also try IJN destroyers for torp/stealth play. US or Japanese cruisers are fairly good and forgiving, and the US line is fantastic all the way to tier 6 so it's a good newbie experience. I really like battleships myself but they have a fairly difficult entry.

Oh, I agree, I did in fact manage to sink the closest one (dude didn't even try to dodge, another victim of the CARRIER SPOTTED, KILL KILL KILL urge), and damage the second, but there's only so much you can do when there's nobody around to finish off the stragglers and you're the only target left for the enemy to shoot.

I really like battleships myself but they have a fairly difficult entry. I actually like the Russian destroyers, but that's mostly because I enjoy the knife-fights around island chains. And I'll have to give up on them since when the skills reset for the update, I thought that the new tier 3 captain torp skill increases range instead of decreasing it, and, welp, my torps are now almost completely useless.
