The German secondary build might be a relic of the past now, to get anywhere close to the level of it before hand you have to harshly pay for it with most of the skills now in the 3 and 4 bracket

None of the 3/4 bracket choices hurt that much against a captain that goes secondary build instead. Fire prevention is an excellent and suggested survivability capstone at 18, but playing smart, using wasd hacks, and managing your fires correctly mitigate any of the other possible choices. The build is alive and well. I wouldn't bother getting BFT on a secondary build currently - leaving that skill out of it gives a very strong secondary spec still existing.

I don't play on the best of net so the WASD hack can take 10 seconds or more too kick in, having both Superintendent and basics of survivability now on the high end is making it tricky cause they are must picks to wither through those seconds of sever thinking

So i was in my Scharnhorst when i saw a division of tier 5 BB's consisting of 2 Kongos and a Texas heading straight into B, so i said what the hell and drove straight towards them.

I use High Alert on T2 to make up for the loss of BoS, since Superintendent is a must-have.

I was already putting it on a lot of my ships before he did testing with it on his stream because at the very least it's a cheaper BFT (that effects every armament) at 50% health and it gets better from there.

Taking Manual AA instead of Manual Secondaries is a really strange decision for me. Half the time you aren't even going to see a CV. Yeah I know the Scharn secondaries are only 5km base, but you could take the Secondaries mod to push them out to 6km. And if you really wanted to double up, AFT which also boosts AA. That gives you the same secondary range as the Nagato.

Manual secondary doesn't alter the range. Just reduces the dispersion.

So I've got a 10 pt. St Louis, 9 pt. Omaha and 10 pt. Cleveland captains to redo, and I was wondering how highly I should prioritize IFHE for these ships. I looked at the reddit post about IFHE and the chart there says they would go from a YNN to YYY (in re: being able to penetrate more spots on BBs). I'm 32k XP from the Pensacola, and I have no idea if I will be transferring that captain. Since I got a dupe Texas opening boxes, I have a spare 10 pt. captain doing nothing. Is the idea of a dual build Texas a dumb idea ? Any suggestions welcome. Also have an 8 pt. Clemson, 8 pt. New York and a 10 pt. Scharnhorst, Warspite and Independence to redo.

I remember when Draws happened all the time due to how standard battles worked back then. Now they're a rare and unusual result (as they should be).







Shout-out to my Mahan buddy who was with me till almost the end. And the enemy Kongo that got Die-Hard from ramming a York in the channel, and then rammed our retarded Fuso. A very good use of a Kongo.

Also Adrenaline Rush giving me a 16s reload is pretty sweet I gotta say. :v:

Just altering your course now and then when there's a possibility of torpedo-spewing DDs around. Some people never do it and they eat full 10-20km torpedo volleys with ease. Hell, some idiots never even alter course when a DD pops up 6km away. "No, touching my rudder keys is too hard. I'm sure that DD is torping someone else. Better stay in sniper view."

It isn't always the simple though. I ate a broadside carrier torp run yesterday in my nikolai. I didn't see the aircraft for one. But there was also a cruiser near me that kept shooting torps at targets 10+km away. So hearing the torp warning did not cause a reaction as I immediately swung the camera to look at the cruiser to dodge another volley from him. Oh yeah, did I mention he was also behind me?

This is also a game where there other two battleships with me turned around upon getting in range of an enemy afk battleship.

Oh, so "basic maneuvering". And here I thought that came almost standard. Silly me.

My 106k average damage in the kamikaze tells me that no, it's not standard, and I'm grateful for that.

Now that my Japanese DD captain has concealment expert it almost feels like cheating.

It's worth noting that it's 2PAC discord, not the WOWS one that the Euro goons are on.

4SKIN is overflow now that DONGS is full.. I am less worried about being on Discord than I am about being active. The goal here is we want to get into whatever crap WG throws at us for clam wars. Not sure what UNCUT wants to do if they will be active or passive so I will let the UNCUT CO respond to that. :)

I'm interested in that, but considering how long it took Wargaming to implement a function that's essentially a glorified chatroom right now, I do wonder how long it'll take for any sort of "campaign" to take place.

Seriously, why did clans ever need to be in a beta stage? Clan tags were crashing too many clients?

There's DONGS, which is full already and people who are on discord regularly have priority. Then there's also 4SKIN and UNCUT, so far it seems as 4SKIN is de facto #2 option.


Also if you're new to the discord feel free to just direct message me on there and i'll get you set up with permissions, if not one of the other guys should be able to get to it eventually.
