Probably a lower tier Russian DD for sheer numbers. Unrelated, captain skill level 4 on a St. Louis, I'm thinking Demolitions Expert?

Although Umikaze or any of the <T5 IJN DDs should do it, since people haven't really figured out how to turn their ship every so often to avoid max range torps

WOWS is one of those easy-to-learn, difficult-to-master games. Finally got a top notch game with the Hatsuharu by staying out of sight and firing torpedeos from a distance, but using guns when needed. My previous best base XP was 2095.

I think I'm done with the Admiral Hipper and AP cruisers in general. At higher tiers, its not as easy to find easy, broadside targets. If I want to wait and search for nice fat broadsides, I would just play a BB. If I want to specialize in smashing DDs, I would pick USN or Russian (and actually the Yorck is much better than Hipper for that). That and the lack of concealment that an IJN Cruiser or New Orleans has makes it not a good time so I've unlocked the Roon but I won't be progressing. I'm just not seeing the appeal of the high tier German Cruiser gameplay, and this is coming from someone who thinks Konigsberg is one of the best ships per tier in the game. I might go back to the Russian Cruiser tree and get the Schchors, but i've heard some bad reports of the Chappy and esp its HE rounds basically doing no damage.

Some folks in in Discord, Vendrell (forgot his SA handle) comes to mind specifically, says the Roon is clear, unambiguous, upgrade from the Hipper. I've also played the Hindenburg on the test server and that wrecks face, ~7000 hits with AP to high tier battleships. I do have a Zao and mostly use HE for the fire chance.

I'm a strong Sampson advocate. 5km torps at T2 (5.5km detectability I think) with reasonable guns. just sail toward a S.Carolina or Kawachi and you'll get at least 4.

To go with the chat about the hindenburg, flamu posted some vids on it that shows some promise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8f84wHZawfw This one is a test of the Hindenburg's aa and the Des Moines' aa. The victor actually goes to the hindenburg for just melting face. Now, your first reaction is going to be the laugh at him facing off against 10 t4 carriers. However, the des moines didn't even get a single kill in before the he was surrounded by torp bombers that melted him off on the second wave. On the other hand, the hindenburg mopped most of the first wave off before they could even drop their torps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9M2TwZ4vb0 The other video is a test on people talking about the last patch messing with the hindenburg's ability to citadel. So, a live fire test is enacted and he rolls citadels no problem. He also rolls BB faces even when they are nose on to him so it seems to be a pretty solid cruiser as well. Don't forget the german sonar feature as well.

I have a grems and it spoiled the whole Russian DD line for me. Going back to 4km tops is a real killer. Currently grinding the cruiser line to get a concealment expert captain into the grems, this got to be one of the top seal clubbing boat.

The two ships i want most are Gremmy and Imperator Nik. The Gremmy because if its basically a Russian DD with IJN torps then its the most OP ship in mid-tiers. And the Imperator because it looks great - the turrets actually look oversized. I will probably also get the Molotov when it comes (I don't like Murmansk/Omaha gameplay).

According to what I've read on aslain.com, there was a total of one person making the lone minimap mod available for WoWs, and he (Kvalme) quit working on it due to some NDA or developer restriction/have to sign up or register mod with Wargaming/other non-specified bullshit. So basically the dude just said fuckit and stopped working on it due to . Supposedly some of the features the mod had will become built-in when 0.5.6 shows up.

Finally had some good rounds in the Kirov. The trick really is to stay at long range and run the gently caress away as soon as anyone starts firing at you.

But apparently that's being incorporated into 0.5.6 anyway, so I said gently caress it as well.

Would it be possible to design a mod that tracked when enemy ships fired and the reload for each of the cannons on the enemy ships and put a reload timer over each cannon/turret in the main battery. Might not be useful for tracking on cruisers but it would be valuable for battleships. You could accurately time turns so that you were angled at the right moment.

I'm just incredulous they're nerfing T9-10 IJN AA that much. I mean, it's already lackluster against planes at that tier already, and they're making it even worse? It's an incredibly unneeded change.

Got 18th in the tier IV BB contest last weekend. This weekend's contest is the highest damage in a single battle in a Minekaze or Omaha. There is also a side contest in the thread for guessing what the top player will have for damage. Spent today retraining a 15 pt captain in my Omaha and only got 101,000 as my highest. Omaha feels a lot different than it was a few patches ago (Murmansk will always be better).

Some kind fella on Reddit produced this comparison of Pensa, Indianapolis and New Orleans: The Indy compares very favourably to the NO, but is a Tier lower. IMO this ship will be the best T7 cruiser when it gets released. I already thought the Pensa was underrated and this basically removes its only weakness (high visibility).

Pretty sure the Pensacola is going to be dropped down to tier 6 once the split happens, it's both too weak and historically nothing came between it and the old armored cruisers, and the Indianapolis will need to be compared to the Northampton
