E Equals MC Hammer posted:The Moskva is insanely fun. Laser accuracy, fantastic pen, stalintanium bow, and my secondaries rock (with the 5 point skill). Downside, 18km spot range without firing. I really hope its worth going through the Donskoi, I still have about 100k or so exp left to go on it. Detection wise its like the Pensacola of tier 9, except a lot less agile. The muzzle velocity alone on the Moskva looks amazing.

JacksLibido posted:Dude, I wish I could shoot like you, I barely tap 30k on a citadel. I'm averaging 95k/match on my Bismark, with a solid third of that being secondaries. They're definitely a major selling point of this ship. Them and the sonar, since together they make you a DD's nightmare. I guess, Warships Today says I have 14% better accuracy than average with main battery hit ratio so yay I guess?

It's kinda funny sometimes how you do incredible in certain ships and then as soon as you swap into something else everything gets all hosed up and you get screwed. Could not get a win in any BBs today. When that happens I just stick to what's working  today it was cruisers for some reason (I'm not very good at cruisers  )

Mahan is cool and good. Everyone should have one. Though as for battleship chat, the tier 8 battleships I like to see as a destroyer on the other team in descending order are Bismarck, North Carolina, and Amagi.

Meanwhile I've had like 5-6 ~100k+ damage games tonight at various tiers that have been losses. And I'm not one to stay in the back sniping. At all. If anything my flaw is the exact opposite. I'm only mildly kidding when I say you and your massive win streak can go gently caress off. Lord Koth fucked around with this message at 05:49 on Dec 28, 2016 |

I bought 5x of the $3 boxes because I got greedy after getting an Atago and a Kutuzov from my last set of boxes. I was going to do the Flamu video in the background and everything, but I got distracted for a bit before opening my boxes, and I forgot to play it. No ships, only camo + flags.

The muzzle velocity alone on the Moskva looks amazing. I loved my Donskoi. Set it up for plane murder spec, if there's a CV in your game torture them. If not, burn and torp people. Everyone underestimates the Donskoi's torps and they also all assume they can pen you straight through your Stalintanium Bow.

With the boxes you get with XP - has anyone ever gotten anything GOOD from the risky option? I've used it exclusively to see what happens - but no luck so far.

You can get a good amount of doubloons (up to 5000 I think?), It's definitely worth it to risk it unless you have a goal in mind and want something else to help speed that up. From my experience, I've gotten a supercontainer once every ten or so containers. OSad fucked around with this message at 15:17 on Dec 28, 2016 |

I got a few Super Containers early on but no had one for ages (~30 containers or something) but I still plump for them because worst case you get some flags which are almost always handy somewhere.

I'm more interested in what you can get if you don't pick "try your luck" (which I've always taken). I definitely don't need more flags or camo; what kind of credits do you get if you go with that option?

Lollin, WGEU must be the biggest troll. "sry we're not giving you the convoy missions, because they're sooo grindy and frankly that is just terrible. Think of your families!! We don't want the top 5% players to be able to finish this mission, everyone should! SALUTE!" New weekly mission, final task: "Prepare for the New Year 4 Complete mission 3, then in a single battle hit enemy ships 10 times with torpedeos, deal 100.000 damage with torpedos and be in the top 3 for damage dealt with a Tier 6+ ship in PvP. Reward: 15 Type "6" Camouflages (+100% XP)"

Want to chime in here and say I like the Pensacola. It's detection range is poo poo, it's a floating citadel, but her guns are exceptional. She's got fantastic AP and good HE. It's actually comical to play her sometimes. People aren't afraid of you and often turn their broadside to you, because they are going to kill you no problem (in their head). Then you can absolutely delete them in one or two salvos and hear them rage about hacks after they realize what happened to them. Fake edit I'm about to hit 15pts on a Russian cruiser captain. Should I be bothering with CE, or should I triple down on 4pt skills?

High five Pensabro. It will be even better when they buff the Pensa/NO/Balti (The Armoured Patrol mentioned that ... I don't know how reliable that is, but they somehow seem to get a lot of information about WG's plans?).

So I'm understanding that Survivability Expert is a very good skill to take on DD's? Since it's based on tier, from which tier onwards does it become worthwhile to take it?

Just unlocked it tonight, been dreading the change from the Cleveland as everyone just moans about the Pensacola 'downgrade'. 15 or so games so far and i love this dumb thing. You get deleted the moment you screw up, it doesn't feel unfair. You did that. Just forces you to set out with a plan. Been racking up some great numbers. Some other Cruiser/DD shows a broadside? Goodnight. All but a couple of those games though? Defeats. Some of the "talent" crawling around during this holiday rush, my god...

The only thing Pensacola needs is a C hull that gives it the final cut down mast configuration, which knocks about a third of the total height off and gives it workable detection, and I don't understand why they haven't done that already.

I think I assist my team more in a CA than in a BB. The absolute rabid response you get from BBs is ridiculous. In a BB vs BB fight, I decide to help. I set a fire and suddenly I've got the BB's undivided attention! He constantly misses because MLG rudder and little damage because bow-on profile, he's infuriated by the fires and he wastes all his salvos. Meanwhile the other BB just mauls him.

Every BB driver dreams of instantly deleting cruisers. They will absolutely prioritize them over everything else, regardless of how bad the shot is. I have a similar response to the Iowa if it shows a little of its side.

Hell, they're effectively flat out invulnerable to destroyers and RN cruisers in any circumstance. Other cruisers can at least slowly pick at them.
