This time, we has ashigara instead of nachi and it is just "deal damage". There was someone already tooting around with one yesterday and someone else had already shrieked on how they could have it as it only has been active for two days. I'm on stage 3 myself. It isn't too bad when you get a random near 200k damage game. I've got mine, it squeaks and talks in paragraphs. Stupid anime.

JuffoWup posted:Armor doesn't change between hulls afaik. The gneisenau's armor is kind of on its side. Exact same scheme as on the scharn. See atsf's video on how to bounce with it. Lately though, I'm struggling in my gneisenau. Everyone knows you have torps and everyone including your team will do their utmost to make you have miserable snipe fest games where scharns with he will gently caress your face right over. For some reason* the Gneisenau has weaker armor than the Scharnhorst. * The reason is money WoWs ingame stats posted:Gneisenau WoWs ingame stats posted:Scharnhorst So trying to take the hits on an angled broadside hurts the Geneisenau a lot more than the Scharnhorst. Scharnhorst has also 2% more Torpedo Protection. Peak Wargaming. Junkozeyne fucked around with this message at 15:32 on Sep 4, 2016 |

The Gneisenau has a weaker belt but can't be citadelled barring something exceptional. It's got a ~110mm heavily sloped plate behind that belt that can pretty much bounce anything that can get through the belt. And if you angle well enough the Gneisenau has pretty thick plating on the non-belt sections.

The Koenig really isn't working for me. It doesn't absorb damage at tier as well as the Kaiser does, and while it has much better turret placement, I'm finding the turn speed and the turret turn speed to be too slow; so slow that they cripple the thing at the short range German ships are supposed to operate in - especially so for the Koenig, given that the guns spray worse than the Wyoming. Frustrating vessel.

I think it's a pretty cheap price for a ship that I find fun to drive; only sees tier 8 at worst, tends to be in tier 7, and is dangerous in both; generates a lot of damage and credits; and is going to train up a handy French BB driver for (hopefully) a late 2017 tree. Granted, for premiums I don't have Warspite, Arizona, any of the recent tier 7s, or any tier 8s to compare it to, but I'd not hesitate to repeat my purchase.

If you're talking about the Nurnberg in the ATSF video, its because the Nurnburg (and basically all German CAs before T8) are made of tissue paper and dreams. The Konigsberg and Nurnberg in particular have the unfortunate fate of having paper thin armor at the same time BBs start getting accurate.

As everyone said, the ship has some terrible armor, but the reference itself is from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t-j1Kaeg4w The reference is at 2:40. In general, atsf's videos are just hilarious as hell and a few other things from is videos have become standard chat as well. Mainly torpedobeat. Which is just to say making amazing torpedo dodges.

Molotov is a good shout for citadels. Also Konigsberg....and hilariously one good ambush in an Atlanta can get you a ton of Citadels. Anyway, I have my Cambelltown with its 12 point captain. Tbh I have zero interest in the ship considering I have a Clemson with a 15 point captain  but the Brit captain should be useful when I inevitably trundle up the Royal Navy cruiser line. I'm holding off speccing the captain just to be certain what the playstyle will be, although I imagine it will be this:BFT EM Superintendent (normally I take Vigilance but with RN CA's having smoke plus the other usual consumables I think SI edges it out) AFT I think as a CA with Def Fire you normally should be obliged to take this for the AA benefit. DE is definately worth considering in these ships though. And eventually I assume the 15th point will be Concealment like every other Cruiser.

Because people were asking recently, and I really think this needs emphasized again, DON'T RUN STRIKE BOGUES. And think long and hard before running Strike Indy, or AS in general. Normal loadout Bogue is by far the best loadout for it if you know what you're doing. Some very recent examples. Game 1   Game 2   First game was me and an AS Bogue against a Strike Bogue and upgraded Zuiho. You may notice that I only got two less aerial kills than the actual AS Bogue, while still turning in a significant amount of damage. 10 of those were when I swept two entire flights of the Strike Bogue's bombers after they'd locked in an attack run against my fellow CV - enemy CV had no possible way of stopping this because there was no way for my fighters to get tied up. Second game was me on my lonesome against a Strike Bogue as well, in a mostly T6 game. Enemy CV once again got completely shut down in the air, while I did a huge amount of damage with just the one squad of torpedo bombers. Even with just the one squad of fighters, I still managed to kill off just shy of half the enemy CV's planes, and could have killed more but was more interested in crippling incoming squadrons and then switching to the next, letting T6 AA finish off crippled ones.

Hazdoc posted:Too bad, Saipan is probably one of the better premiums in the game now, due to recent MM changes. T8+ matches can only have one CV in them, which means you will NEVER see a T8+ CV. You're always guaranteed to be top tier CV, though you can still see T9 ships of other varieties. I want the Saipan, but i JUST got the Scharnhorst.

You're probably screwed for a while then, because the best citadel farmers are cruisers, and you;re going to run into inbred shitlords trying to sit at the back and snipe in German battleships every loving battle for the foreseeable future.

That all changes with the Bayern though, great armor, great guns and decent maneuverability make it the best T6 BB by far.

Is there any way to check the battle details for a game I played yesterday? I thought I had replays enabled, but apparently not. I got over 4k experience with my Myogi counting the double and 50% flag, but no premium. I somehow won a 2v4, although the past couple minutes were peak Myogi. Their last ship was a Myogi as well. It took several salvos to land the final killshot, we both kept missing everything at 10km.

I just bought a Dunk too and its not bad. My first hit was a citadel on a Budyonny. I wish they had maybe buffed the reload by a couple more seconds to make up for the lack of firepower, but then they would have charged more $$ for it. I think what I like the best about it is that I can weave from one heading to another and I dont lose any shots.

However, they do seem quite vulnerable to fires. Or at least the one I burned to the waterline today seemed to pick up fires like no one's business. I seem to recall that being mentioned in the reviews too though, so something to keep in mind.

Krogort posted:Don't all ship of a same tier have the same vulnerability to fire? Not really, ships have individual fire resists, just as they have torpedo defenses. The stats are hidden, though, just like torpedo defense used to be hidden. IIRC, US ships tend to have the highest fire resist stats, but that was hearsay during closed beta, anything could have happened since then.
