It would be rather lovely if we could see French and Italian destroyers before 2018, but somehow I doubt it.

I personally run dc2 because pubbies throw a lot of HE at me because I refuse to not bpw on. On the other hand, atsf suggest rudder to better dodge torpedos. I've been thinking lately that the engine mod might be useful too to fix her slow reaction when shifting to reverse or back forward from reverse.

German Destroyers are next, and Russian Battleships will probably come after that, since they were originally meant to come out this year, and hence should be asset complete, but were kicked back for RN cruisers after it started turning into a PR crisis. I figure once those are done, they'll alternate RN and French lines, with the US cruiser split as a palate cleanser somewhere in the middle. e: q then e, not just q

This is with HE too That's not at all what you want to do with HE, that's the problem. He damage is reduced by armor, so if you hit a ship's belt plating, you'll do nothing. Ideally you want to hit the deck and superstructure, you'll do more damage and start fires.

I got the St Louis and all my problems are gone  i did mean the superstructure yeah. Getting more of the hang of it though, alt tabbed and missed the start of a game just now and ended up getting 4 kills, 3 of which were from full health. The last 2 enemies were a half health Battleship and a destroyer, got the battleship and the destroyer survived on a sliver.

E Equals MC Hammer posted:russian battleship line ends at what, tier 4 then its all crap that never existed? Pretty much. Presumably there's a bunch of drawings, because Sovetsky Soyuz would have been neither the first, nor the last, of Stalin's dreamboats, but none of it actually happened. This is partly why, after we got fantasy Russian destroyers and cruisers, the Russian battleships were kicked back and we got RN cruisers this year, because by then even the Russian server was not impressed. Aramoro posted:Do you reckon we might get RN Battleship line in Q2 next year then? Something like that. Couldn't really say. There's enough juice to make all of the RN and French lines with only moderate levels of French paper required, but they could do RN destroyers first, save the battleship kick for the next financial year. Especially since there's enough RN destroyers to make two lines. NTRabbit fucked around with this message at 14:46 on Dec 6, 2016 |

I admit French DDs might bring me back if Steel Ocean doesn't make them first. I want one of those crazy 43 knot ones. Or Italian ships. One of those 40 knot light cruisers designed to fight the 43 knot french DDs would be fun.

They'd have to reach hard for tier 9 and 10 battleships though, probably copying the "upscale the Bismarck" German idea, because the Italians stopped cold at Littorio.

I dunno, though. "We have to invent 2 ships at the end but otherwise this is an interesting and fun historical navy" isn't nearly as egregious as the Russian lines. I wonder how they'd model the Italian's Gun Actually Has Too High A Muzzle Velocity deal? Or their total disregard for electronics?

Flat trajectories suck for deck pen, and the too high velocity is mainly a problem in terms of wear, which would be either accuracy or outside the scope.

From my understanding even the Russian players were like, "why the gently caress do you keep making Russian navy stuff when there is no RN or Kriegsmarine/Kaiserliche Marine ships yet?" Seriously. The Russian navy Battleships are going to have to be 100% paper from tier IV on.

Probably not at all, but they could give them lower base accuracy. An Italian battleship line wouldn't be anywhere near as egregious as the Russian one, but I think it and the French line both have an issue at tier 7: they have to take undergunned 8x 13.5"/12x 12" design proposals, or 8/6 x 16" armed alternatives from the same process, which then have to step back down to 15" at tier 8. Cruisers seem to be the bigger problem for Italy, and Wargaming won't make a tree unless they can complete a cruiser line for it first.

750k feels about as much as I thought it would be. Seems like a slightly better Iowa, which in my opinion isn't a very fun boat to play. With 750k you can skip several tier 9's that you don't like playing... Most people would say the Izumo, any of the cv.... just doesn't seem worth it. Get a tier 9 premium? Or I could literally have both tier 10 cv's fully upgraded, with some leftover.

That was one of the awesomest ships ever though, and it was more of river ironclad than a coastal battleship. Speaking of which, I bought the Mikasa for 10 bucks. And it is terrible. So loving terrible, it is awesome. It makes me wish there was a version of this game that covered ships from about 1875 to 1906.

You will get dunked on by anyone and everyone. It is ludicrously unfair that it gets to see T3 battleships. I got one for free and I still feel like I overpaid.

I wasn't actually planning to move on to T8, since I like having both torps and guns. Still, looking at concealment and IJN arcs AFT might beat out DE. The real question was more whether or not EM is worth it to deal with that painful DD turret turn.

I am perversely enjoying the New Orleans, specifically liking supporting friendly dd's which are contesting caps. Also, it shits on cruisets that show broadside. The real downside is Tier X matches. I also considered getting the Mikasa because history, but I felt it would be very unfun to play.

We have not yet seen the end of anime ships and anime girls. But everything I can think of in High School Fleet is a Destroyer, Cruiser or Battleship. Japan doesn't think Carriers are sexy.
