double edit: Wait, they're adding strafing allied planes to the TK criterion? Hahahaha, what? Has anyone ever had an issue with people doing this out of spite? It's a completely legitimate tactic depending on CV matchups, and they're actually penalizing it? Wow.

That is dumb. Having an allied carrier engage the enemy fighters with theirs, especially if they can get 2 enemy squads engaging their one, and then strafing over the engagement was a great way to clean up enemy fighters, especially if you are stuck in a 2x IJN vs 2x US carrier match where your fighters are outnumbered and outgunned.

Jesus, we really do. Its like WG looked at the shima stats and weren't satisfied with watching the winrate dip a little, they wanted to see it tank along with the Fubuki.
And then the other half of WG never got the memo. The supertesters didn't even see this, from what I've heard.

also seriously, I would laugh if I get TK penalty for strafing my own planes

Owners of Kagero, Shimakaze, you may rest easy. The decision to remove of 20km torps was aborted even before ST, it's just WG EU mistakenly posted older patchnote.

...Which WG NA then just blindly copied. So on the one hand, thank god. On the other hand, sure doesn't inspire much confidence in WG. Seriously, check your drat patch notes before stuff like this ignites a firestorm. Also means these changes WERE planned at some point.

I'm sure there's a ticker in the WG HQ that ticks down every time a dev eats a torp from an IJN DD, and once it reaches 0 a nerf is proposed.

Had an interesting win in my Arkansas today. We were down 2 low-health ships to 5 mostly high-health, but we had held 2 caps to 1 most of the match. I told the other guy to hide, gunned down the 9k health New York that was chasing him, then beached myself where they couldn't shoot me and we won on point ticks.

I've been on the other side of that and boy I hope they were mad.

Short range? That boat is great at basically every range it can hit to. I've said it before, but one more time: The Amagi is the 2nd best boat in the game.

The first is the Kuma ofc

18km seemed a little short to me after the prior boats is all. Agreed that anything it hits gets slammed pretty hard. Got 3 citadels on a Fuso in one volley, so I reckon it'll be fun. Was only a little bummed out because I was saving to skip the Izumo

I'm excited for the 1930ies modernization of the Furutaka which we get tomorrow.

quote:

Performance characteristics were improved for the top hull.
Hull © was replaced by the new one, with improved performance characteristics:
Her main guns were reinforced: now the ship is equipped with three twin main turrets (3х2) instead of the previous 6х1 arrangement. Now her new twin main turrets are arranged in a more reasonable and conventional way (two forward turrets and one aft turret) and have higher traverse speed
Her torpedo tubes were reinforced: 2х4 instead of the previous 2х3 configuration. The new torpedo tubes reload slower, but they can launch one extra torpedo in each torpedo salvo
New set of AA defences: 2х2 13 mm/76 Type93 Twin, 4x2 25 mm/60 Type96 Twin mod. 1, and 4х1 120 mm/40 10th Year Type mod. B2/C:
The AA damage within the 1 km AA engagement area radius was nullified (from 3 to 0 points)
The average AA damage within the 1.2 km AA engagement area did not change (7 points)
The Average AA damage within the 3.1 km AA engagement area was added (from 0 to 20 points)
The average AA damage within the 4.5 km AA engagement area radius increased by 10 points (from 10 to 20 points)
Hull (В): rudder deflection speed and amount of XP now correspond with hull ©
The hull will now reflect the landmark modernisation of the ship when she had her main gun turrets upgraded. By making this change, we moved the ship a bit closer to later-period Japanese heavy cruisers to better prepare the player for a change in battle tactics.

Literally 4km from two different carriers that I've set on fire, with my torps about to reload, and some pubbie dickbag on my team fires torps too while I'm broadside and hits me, but not any of the carriers, allowing them to get away :argh:

Wait, patch today too? Wargaming is playing with fire to update both tanks and ships at the same time. Then again, modders are going to be burning the midnight oil if they have mods for both.

Yup, its the patch.

Update on the nurnberg chatter that was had back when the notes were announced. The new c hull is a side grade option and not required towards the york. Also, as far as I can tell, I got it for free which I guess was given because I already had the upgraded hull? Oh well, win for me. That even includes the cost for the hull.

Getting an unhandled exception error in the Big World client since patching - anybody else having issues?

Is there a 'repair' option anywhere to see if that fixes things?

Or maybe the servers aren't back up yet or something...

Server is up on US. Load up your launcher and click the gear/settings option. It is next to the close/minimize buttons. In the updates tab, there is a button to check file integrity.

I want to like the Amagi, but for some reason I have a hell of a time getting any citadels. I can get 4-5 per salvo in a Molotov, and did well in the Fuso and Nagato, but with the Amagi I'll get 5 hits on a Konigsberg with his broadside turned to me and do maybe 2500 damage. Just bad luck I suppose. Oddly enough, my best shot in the Amagi so far was on another Amagi when I got 3 citadels in a single Salvo. Never had gotten more than one before in it.

I'm enjoying carriers a lot more than I used to just because there's less RNG with torpedoes than with how shells land.

Great googamooga I would have been thrilled to get through that torp blob with only 1 hit.

Warspite is jawsome.

First game in it, I took the long way around a rock while my turrets swung around and immediately some scrub on my team starts freaking out that "new players shouldnt be able to buy premium ships". I then went and scored 6x as much xp as he did despite being a tier lower.

Warspite question: Accuracy upgrade or Secondary upgrade? I put accuracy in for now (had one in depot) but im thinking maybe after I have enough cap'n xp for AFT I may swap it out for Secondaries.

How the ever loving gently caress do I play the Donkey? I don't know if I have been spoiled by the Roon but it just seems to do no damage at all, either with HE or AP. I was sat making GBS threads shells at a broadside Tirpitz and I was getting like 800 per salvo, shooting HE then AP.

I am getting to the point I was in with the chappy, it seems woefully under gunned for tier.
