The mutsuki is surprisingly fun as long as you can keep from getting spotted, the 10km torps, even though they're slow as balls, are great for murking dumb rear end BB drivers. Even thoguh they can see them a million miles away they still sail right into them.

Last Stand for the Koenigsberg--yes or no? I'm having difficulty deciding between that or the turret turn time reduction.

Koenigsberg and Nurnberg rudder/engine are notoriously fragile so I would say if you are going to keep the captain in them, Last Stand. But from Yorck onwards thats not an issue so Expert Marksman IMO. Yorck turrets were buffed and are much faster than Myoko, but Yorck IMO is one of the best DD hunters and every turret speed buff helps.

There might be some interesting changes to the way you lose (or don't lose in this case) stars for the next season. Apparently they are adding a mechanism by which the top player of the losing team or losing team player that achieves a certain number of x (xp or dmg or who knows) doesn't lose a star. Don't know if it will start this upcoming season or not. Also got second in the Omaha in-game contest this weekend and got 3000 dubs, 14 days premium, a port slot, and 25 of each flag which puts me at 115 papa papas that I should probably use. The Omaha top 25 started at 101,000 dmg in a single match and topped out at 153,000. The minekaze half of the contest had the the lowest person with 153,000 dmg and top out at 197,000. The person that was sixth in the Minekaze had something like 21 torpedo hits and 183,000 damage in a single match which gives you an indication of how bad some BB drivers can be.

JuffoWup posted:Apparently the same gun with the same shells and ballistics. Just that since you are a tier 6, you can beat up on all the battleships with ap as well. I can't decide on my gun mod though for it. One the one hand, accuracy seems to be the usual standby, but I'm wondering if the penalty to reload is worth a bit faster turret traverse as my first game had my moving around a bit which ended up with me shooting multiple times from the rear turret only due to the front turrets taking time to rotate around. Where are you seeing that $29 deal for the Molotov? I'm only seeing the $23 one for the ship and port slot, so is this just the NA server getting hosed over yet again?

That WAS the NA server I was quoting actually: http://worldofwarships.com/en/news/common/premium-ship-spotlight-molotov/ Look down and it is the 3rd one. I'm not sure why it got removed, but it got removed it seems. Which is a shame. That, or because it is limit one, I don't see it as it is the version I grabbed. Edit: MREBoy posted:0.5.6 PT just popped up, c/p from reddit, 1 battle on PT gets you 3x all flags, 10 wins gets you 1 day premium. Sooo, what is changing with soviet AA guns? I am serious on this because one of the ships listed is.. the Molotov. You know, the ship considered having pretty bad AA currently but otherwise owns bones.

My understanding is some of the lower caliber AA guns (like the Soviet 37mms) are getting a range buff to 3.2 or something like that

Apparently the Indianapolis gimmick will be to be the only T7 cruiser with a radar, making it possibly the best cruiser for ranked. From the "news from ru forum" thread on eu forum so not 100% certain. Also the grems is apparently op and will never be sold again.

Am I correct in guessing you drive a Molotov just like a Moskva and engage the same way? Max range cruisers with your Laser-Guided Communist Hammers?

As a newbie who's only gotten to Tier V, I've gotta say the molotov is the most fun I've had thus far I probably won't play anything else unless I grind out free XP to get to one of those super good late tier ships you guys are always talking about

There are plenty of good mid-tier ships. Kongo, Fuso, Nagato (upgrade to the B hull immediately on all 3 of those), Omaha, Cleveland, Konigsburg, Nuremberg, New Mexico (not quite as good as the Fuso).

If we're loving on mid tier, I gotta say the Texas(New York) and Minekaze are my two faves. I have 14 point captains in them, which helps, but those two ships are basically why I play WoWS. My Iowa isn't nearly as fun.

demonR6 posted:I still don't understand what the hell they do that manages to gently caress all the mods up every time.. The singular patch note for 0552 was to fix the one spawn point on the "Mountain Range" map, which was located on an island rather than on the water. But they always throw in updated client scripting files along the way, and believe it or not, whether or not a mod script has the correct client version in it can determine if it breaks or not. The code can be 100% the same but client vs mod version mismatch makes it go bonkers. There has been at least one known episode where a slight difference in client version between servers caused some mods to work fine on EU but not NA. E2A: I was checking out the patch file contents, as usual. The two biggest files in the updates today (in term of space used) were an updated libcef.dll @ 56MB and some .bnk files @ 59MB. The one file needed to fix the spawn point problem clocks in at 400 bytes. MREBoy fucked around with this message at 19:43 on May 18, 2016 |
