So at what tier does the Rus CA line stop sucking? I'm up to tier IV and it still hasn't.

I thought I would really like the Kirov but wow is it fragile. I feel like the Tachibana could probably stitch a line of citadels across your side. You know what is awesome? Being in a Tier 9 game where your team has no Tier 9s and they get two Fletchers. Their DDs racked up 8 kills in that one. Ironically our BBs were hanging so far back (10km+ behind the cruisers) that a Fubuki just slipped back there and crushed them with torp walls.

Like, a spotted destroyer running parallel to a friendly battleship and then dies. Friendly battleship takes no action to alter course and eats 5 torpedos letting the destroyer give a final departing kiss.

Thanks Demon for following up on that. Lakedaimon posted:I thought the Svietlana was ok. Biggest problem is bad range. I thought I would really like the Kirov but wow is it fragile. I feel like the Tachibana could probably stitch a line of citadels across your side. Svietlana was ok; I had some good games in it. It's pop guns did ok against Phoenix's, Omaha's and Kirov's. Against BB's the HE seemed poor and the longish reload made fighting DD's a little tougher. Two torpedo launchers per side weren't bad, but the torpedoes themselves didn't do a ton of damage. Just started on the Kirov. That thing does have a slow rate of fire with it's 7 inch guns.

I'm still surprised that you can change what region your instance is in without dropping everyone. Good job on that Discord team.

There is a one-second momentary lag. I did it while we were one last night and switched us to US West then back to South and no one noticed. I think there were at least four of us in the channel when I did it too. I heard a *beep* but that was it.

Hopefully no more robo-wdark.

The only issue with Discord, is that only a fraction of the people reading and posting here join. I guess they hate winning every game they play.

Nonsense playing with goons whether you are good or not should not matter. plenty of helpful people are always welcome. Besides you cannot be worse than some of the shitters we encounter.

I'm kind of the same way in this game as I am in Dota2: I'm either really hot or really cold each game. Some games I'm landing citadel's like a boss, the next game I land 2 shots before I get sunk.

Even if you're not good, it still helps to be in a chat with other people so you can share info and coordinate. I'd rather take somebody who's poo poo at the game but can have a laugh at stuff ingame than a random pubbie. That said, it does help to have some higher tier boats. Not all goons are willing to do low tier matches, but that's their loss (low tiers are actually the best)

I feel like it's a lot harder to get a high-tier goon game than a low-tier one right now.

The most popular goon tiers to div in are 3, 5 and 6, and 7. 8, 9, and 10 by a much lesser margin. ninja edit: that's because these are the most fun tiers

Nothing can quite take the desire to continue playing out of you for the night quite like a magazine detonation in a close match.

If I'm having a bad night botes-wise, I might not voluntarily hop on voice, but someone can always ping me. Also, if you're not that good, playing with other goons helps you get better.

So I found out how they do it, and then I beat them at their own game. I'm kind of disappointed, my last three games were kind of stinkers, I had a rating in the 4,000's before I was struck with evening poo poo lords.

I just wish they'd give us premiums that are more useful for captain retraining. Would you use this over a Benson in ranked games?

Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm having a hell of a time with the Ryujo so far. Is it better to go with the air superiority or strike loadout? Because superiority isn't working too well for me.

So I've determined that the Kawachiis guns are like a shotgun that has the same spread as a full blast, but only puts out a couple pellets with each trigger pull. I also consulted warships today and my play last night was not indicative of how I usually do.

Because superiority isn't working too well for me. I played a strike Ryujo for pretty much my entire time with it and it loving owned. That said I've had a lot more fun playing American carriers lately than Japanese, all the recent changes have benefited them more.

Hahahahaha, bonus 2x xp for your first win with each ship. Take out my Kongo I'm trying to get high enough to buy a Fuso. Put on the camo to increase XP as well as the bonus XP Signal. I'm like the second death on my team, total XP after all the bonuses? 2,200. Totally awesome use of all the bonuses.

The secondaries on the Warspite are decent and can do some serious work sometimes if you fit the secondary range/accuracy upgrade.   And lol I somehow did 150k damage in the Soviet Lana. I'm really not a fan of this ship or the Bogatyr.

You're better off comparing it to a Kiev or Tashkent, in which it is.. fairly similar. The Lo Yang is the premium you want if you want a Benson replacement, as it literally is a Benson, just with different torps and HYDROACOUSTIC SEARCH ON A DD

JuffoWup posted:They did. Remember when it only had those 5.5km torps? You get the option of Nicholas torpedoes or ~9km, very slow, very anemic torpedoes; coupled with moon shot shell arcs, it's tough ship, I think. I usually just try to go for cap circles and targets of opportunity. Almost unlocked the Yorck, but I think I'm going to miss the Nuremburg. I've had some good games in it.    Killed a Tirpitz with flooding. Just unlocked the Fuso as well. Fuso makes BB driving enjoyable. I did free XP into Hull B and the better engine.
