Space Flower posted:their endgame is Yuudachi Kai Ni. this is where i'd link the poi video but this isn't discord so I'll spare you all the pain you'll feel it instead when the new IJN line is out and poi is all over the chat again Also hot drat are those compensations for the new line good. I'm gonna be getting a crapload of free stuff because the only IJN DD I don't have right now is the kagero, and I have premium camos on the fubuki and hatsuharu i have a problem

Just give it slightly different torps or something. Bam, free money-poi~ MrKatharsis posted:Pointing out in chat that poi stands for Pedophile Online Indicator silences them pretty quickly.

Given Yuudachi was a Shiratsuyu-class destroyer, and the Shiratsuyu is looking OP as hell, people are just going to have to deal with that. Or use their chat mute.  Meanwhile, I'll be quoting Hara (not really). I may point out that Yuudachi's exploits are much exaggerated and it was other destroyers that did most of the work there though - like Amatsukaze crippling USS Juneau and sinking USS Barton.

Just died to a torp drop because I was too busy bitching in all chat about a Furutaka that turned broadside into a torp drop as well. It's me. I'm the pubby.

E Equals MC Hammer posted:I am almost there, I almost have my 15 point dunkerque captain. Gonna roll manual secondaries and shred some motherfuckers. Is that even worthwhile? The arcs on the secondaries seem to make them only useful for ships that are behind or next to you, i.e. "OH gently caress" situations. You can get Concealment Expert or even Preventative Maintenance for a skill that's more generally useful.

Arishtat posted:Yeah these changes were squarely aimed at cutting down on Isokaze and Minekaze seal clubbers, but they really screw over anyone trying to advance up the line through those ships. The thing is that the real dedicated seal clubbers already have either the Kamikaze R or the Fujin or both and those aren't getting touched because they're premium ships. How does Fujin compare with Kamikaze R?

More grist for the Myogi chat: First game, stock hull, 0% captain:  Kited a Kaiser, a Wyoming, an enemy Myogi, and a St. Louis the entire game, keeping them just out of range and pecking away with the rear guns. Didn't even need to use heals or repairs.

If it makes you feel any better, I was in my iowa yesterday and I did the same thing. Except that in my case, I didn't notice the 3 waves of torp bombers and went from full HP to partying with spongebob within seconds.

I decided to play one last game today in the pre-nerf Isokaze.   Literally my first (and only) game today. You will be missed.  E Equals MC Hammer posted:The secondaries are rather strong and very focused to begin with on the dunkerque. I'm not sure how much better they will be with focused secondaries but I am going to find out. Keep in mind that since the Dunk is tier VI, it gets the lesser bonus (15% I think). The 60% dispersion bonus is on tier VII+. It's why I decided not to get that skill on the Warspite despite it having decent secondaries.

Concealment Expert is always useful, but with the Dunk you might even consider Preventative Maintenance just to reduce HE damage/take the chance of losing a turret even lower.

I don't know what about "Don't go into D, it's suicide" that New Mexico didn't understand. He ignored my advice for the guy on our team begging someone to cap D and so he went in alone, no support and got torped to death, just after he witnessed a New Orleans doing the exact same loving thing and dying in the exact same way. It's legitimately amazing how pubbies *want* to lose games. When goons are like "battleships just drive into my torps" I am not the least bit surprised. Edit: I'm sorry guys. I've become that guy. Bitter about the pubbies around me, unable to drive their ships or point their guns.

It's legitimately amazing how pubbies *want* to lose games. I spent an entire match in "Fault Line" begging our two biggest BB's to turn around and not go in the 9 Column. Especially considering that the entire enemy team was on the other side of the map. They didn't listen and went anyways. They didn't die or anything.. they just spent the entire match not firing a single shot. Once half our team was dead, I just said gently caress it and quit the match. I have no time to waste on teams who go out of their way to lose. E: this is the type of poo poo I'm talking about when I say that I may be bad at aiming and actually applying damage, but at least I find ways to be useful to the team unlike these idiots.

Have had a few frustrating games though including a penascola presenting broadside multiple times without me getting a solid hit and then being melted.

So now that the new IJN DD line is imminent (along with several head-scratching nerfs), is there any way to game the system - like buying a Hatsu and selling both ships to make silver or something? In other news, the Donskoi kinda sucks. Just when I start to have a decent game in it, I think "this is the same tier as the Iowa" and I could actually be carrying.

Lakedaimon posted:So now that the new IJN DD line is imminent (along with several head-scratching nerfs), is there any way to game the system - like buying a Hatsu and selling both ships to make silver or something? Yes. If you have one of the ships being moved (Mutuski through Kagero) sitting in your port when the patch drops, you'll keep that ship plus get the new same-tier version. So if you have the Hatsuharu purchased, you'll get the tier VI Hatsu plus the new Akatsuki. Feel free to sell the new Hatsu and continue down the line with the Akatsuki. Or sell both. Plus, there are ship combo bonuses for whatever reason: Wargaming posted:If a player purchased Mutsuki VI and Fubuki VIII before the update went live, then a bonus in the amount of 3,100,000 Credits is added to the player's account. Personally I already had the Kagero, and I re-bought the Fubuki and Mutsuki to hopefully farm some nice cash from this patch.

Straddling targets constantly for me is exceedingly annoying. You know you did nothing wrong when 2 shots fall short and the other 4 fall behind that bloody Cleveland's smoke stack who is spamming HE nonstop edit: The armor is also exceedingly weak it seems in some places. Someone told me earlier in the thread to play it like the Bayern but with Torps but either I am 100% in competent or he was wrong. I could smugly sail into 2+ BBs of the same or lower tier in the Bayern and expect to actually live. The Gnei gets torn up real fast and I can't really close to cut down on dispersion bullshit until near end of game.

After complaining earlier I just had amazing back to back games. A NC game with some sick torpedo beats and taking on two enemy NCs at the same time, and a totally  Gneisenau game in a storm (you can probably guess what happened). These two games were played with a goon soooo... yeah. Play with goons. Be less bitter.

Damnit... the only one of those I currently don't have is the Kagero and I'm missing approximately the same amount of free xp that I have saved up. Thus I have to decide: Do I use that free xp to be able to earn a ton of credits, or do I keep that free xp for the Missouri even tho I'm pretty sure I won't have enough to afford?
