Also secondary hits in a ship that doesn't have any. Somehow I think you've transposed your games together in that image. I'm spectating that guy. He was a pro akizuki though, 5 kills and communicating properly.

no bones about it posted:Thats because Wargaming hosed up and gave the clan to a random pubbie when they created it, because they are stupid as gently caress. So no, SEAMN is not a goon clan. So, uh, how did that work? Are you saying that the clan in the OP is no longer controlled by goons? Or are they two separate entities with the same tag as an artifact of the clan beta.

ZombieLenin posted:So, uh, how did that work? Are you saying that the clan in the OP is no longer controlled by goons? That OP is almost 2 years old, and the original SEAMN clan was a WoT clan thing while we were hoping that Wargaming would just expand the clan functionality to WoWS. They did not do this, and their half-baked clan solution made it so you can wind up with a different WoWS clan than your WoT clan. They acknowledged Pacra applied to get the SEAMN clan tag, and then whoever was assigning clans in the beta hosed it up, denied everything about loving it up, and then they merged it wholesale back into WoWS. Pacra has asked about them fixing it, and Wargaming has pretty much told him to piss up a rope.

So basically we need to ccome up with a better name than SEAMN for the goon clan, so that when the heat death of the universe arrives, we can still say we've done more than Wargaming has for WoWs clan stuff. e: Also the Hatsuharu is the poster child for WG having no idea what to do with DDs.

It seems like any time I play my Ryujo, I get uptiered into a match full of boats that just devour my planes with no real effort and little chance at meaningful damage from me. 6 is the worst tier because you're getting uptiered constantly into tier 8 games. Tier 8 AA will murderfuck your planes. Even DDs at that tier can do real damage. My advice on the Ryujo is to focus squarely on enemy DDs. Get good at manually torping and divebombing them. You can still have a huge impact on the game if you sink or heavily damage a DD or two, and keep the rest permaspotted. Ignore T8 BBs entirely, even the Amagi has enough AA to shred you. The Tirpitz and Bismarck are extremely deadly, and the North Carolina is an absolute 100% No-Fly Zone. Don't go within 5km at all, ever. You're seriously better off going after cruisers, particularly IJN cruisers, if you have no other targets. Note that the Hiryuu has the same problem the Ryujo does. You get the exact same low-health TBs on the Hiryuu that you have in the Ryujo.

I had one game in my Akizuki where I ended up with 25 plane kills because the enemy Ryujo just insisted on continuously flying his planes around within my AA. It was a bit absurd. It's not like he didn't know I was there either, because he was occasionally flat out overflying me.

Speaking of guild names, I still find Pansy, Heer as Volk funny as hell. Muslims for Marriage Equality was also hilarious. I'm thinking of a gay, muslim, Admiral Akbar for the goon clan. I'd have to steak [AKBAR] for the ticker. Also, I bought five Captain's boxes, played Flamu's rant video, and got camo in every one. I was really hoping for a Nikolai and wish they would just sell the thing.

Hiryuu does have better matchmaking, which is nice--you'll be seeing T8s less even though you're a tier higher which is loving dumb. But you'll be going up against Saipans which is not so nice and in fact terrible. My only advice for playing against Saipans is to go whole-hog in trying to kill them straightaway. Trying to outplay them is very dicey even if they're an inferior player.

I'm starting to become pretty disillusioned with the BB class. Apart from a scant few distinct ones (Kongo, Bismarck, Kaiser and Konig, Gneisenau, Nagato), whenever I division with by buddies in them I just don't have fun anymore, and even on the ones I like, I struggle a bit. Maybe it's because the majority of my games are on Battleships already so I've seen what the class has to offer, but it just feels like going through the paces with them: lumber into a position, hope your team and enemy ships show up, groundhog day ensues. I used to hate DD play but now that I've watched a few Flammu videos and learned how to properly use smoke and do damage with them, they're a lot more enjoyable to me. You can get anywhere on the map you want, you can relocate, you can deny areas with torps, you can start fires and annoy people with your guns, you can spot for your team, you can smoke, you can even defensive AA and sonar nowadays with them... it's a lot more exciting with them. I'm even coming around on CA's since the gameplay is just so exciting whenever you're in one. I bought the Kirov and the Izyaslav and honestly, it's been like discovering the game all over again.

Shiny Horse is overpowered. (Okay, so I was top tier and one of the kills was an Arkansas Beta that had been dragged in, but still. Only ever had 6 krakens and two of them have been in the last two days in the Scharnhorst) I've got a replay file - what do I do with it? Scharnhorst is also for noobs, I was informed yesterday. By a North Carolina pilot who, as he obviously can't have been a noob himself, must have had a cunning plan for dealing with the face full of torpedoes he got after we charged headlong into each other...

Concealment allows destroyers a lot of map control, whether be it simply spotting or area denial. The ability to dictate engagements a majority of the time enables you to plan at the drop of a cat instead of having to chart your route out beforehand like in a battleship. Constant harassment from inside smoke and over islands can dissuade enemy teams from pushing even if destroyer guns aren't the most punishing. The threat of torpedoes usually forces people to turn prematurely if they see you, creating area denial. Battleships largely offer firepower and big hp pools, but their inflexibility makes them a chore to play and they are unable to flex efficiently and on top of that they're often forced to go to the same positions because they're important to hold and they're the only ones who can do it. Battleships are for dorks.

If you think Izyaslav is exciting, wait until you get to the latter Russian DDs (all the way through 5 to 10.) They're adrenaline in a tin can and even the 'mediocre' ones (Ognevoi and Tashkent) still offer the same gameplay style. Russian CLs unfortunately get more boring with the T7-T9 choices, peaking at Budyonny and Molotov at T6 and Moskva at T10. V wow, how did I forget the Kutuzov? Peak Russian CL gameplay but with smoke. We had a triple Kutuzov division last night, highly entertaining. Pacra fucked around with this message at 23:11 on Jan 10, 2017 |

Aw, crap. They very nearly suckered me in again after I got an Anshan and an Atlanta in supercontainers. And I thought I was good with money.  So, uh... considering the Anshan is literally my first DD, how do I not suck tremendous balls? And which of the available torps should I choose? What about the Atlanta? I've heard it's a good HE spammer but I want to get as much info as possible (particularly since this thread has been nothing but a goldmine of advice).

Are you saying that the clan in the OP is no longer controlled by goons? I submitted [SEAMN] as a clan, WG hosed up their spreadsheet with all the clans in it, I was given a pubbie clan (TSF, actually, which IIRC are a competitive clan), and some pubbie got SEAMN instead of me. When I asked WG to give me back SEAMN, they told me SEAMN wasn't in CBT because Wargaming sometimes has difficulty with these sorts of things (like reading comprehension... or being competent), so we're stuck until clans go into open beta or live. The leader of SEAMN right now has indicated that he didnt want the name SEAMN, but is using it until everything gets fixed in the future. That should mean SEAMN is still available, as clans will be reset going into live and all the names will be up for grabs again.

All T9/10 cruisers get Repair Party. Other than that, the only non-premium cruisers with it are the Royal Navy cruiser line, which get it starting at like T4. In terms of premiums, Atago gets it at T8, and the Graf Spee obviously gets it at T6.
