Hey fellas, so I've been playing solo with no guidance and being a stingy gently caress at low tiers (no equipment or ship mods, opting not to select skills except sixth sense since I'm not sure what works for each line, and I was wondering if I could get an invite into our clan. I tried once before a long time ago and had issues because I'm in PANSY on WoT and for some reason it acted like that prevented me from being in SEAMN. Anyone willing to lend a hand?

Unfortunately they haven't implemented clan anything yet. The SEAMN clan exists via wargaming site/WoT, but World of Warships has nothing yet... which kind of blows. The best way to play with other goons and pick their brain on what is good to do, is get on Discord and shoot the poo poo and also shoot at boats, we're most active 7pm-12 EST I'd say.

What's really impressive is that you're doing better than the top Shchors players on average damage. But not the top Myoko players. Also there's one guy that does more average damage with the Pensecola.

I'd be in like the Top 10 for the Yorck (1800 rating) but it looks like you need 100 games minimum, so im like 20 away. 2000+ is really impressive, I gotta stop solo-pubbing. I'm starting to think ill actually like the Shchors.

Flatter arcs just means you have to adjust your lead as the shells aren't hanging in mid air for so long, why you think you have to adjust your vertical aim point I have no idea. It's seriously not that hard, even I can do it.

The only difference with the Yorck from the other German cruisers is that you need to use HE a lot more. Over 10km, use HE, under use AP. It has a fairly decent HE round [for a German ship anyway]. I really like both the USSR and German cruiser lines, they seem to be very similar, you just get better ships as you go up the line rather than having to relearn how to play every time you upgrade like the USA. The USSR has a bit of a dip at the Chappy, it's damage seems to be a bit low for it's tier, but other than that all are fun to play.

Check the Reddit and the forums. They just started a crackdown on illegal mods (they haven't said which mods other than aim assist) today and they're figuring out who uses them, but obviously aren't stating exactly what system they're using to detected them. Maybe they're using us as a test bed for some sort of WoT mod policy change and purge. Also on the Asia server they are changing people's names who use illegal mods brown, reflecting all their damage back to them, and in a few days give them a 7 day ban, which all seems hilarious. The rest of the servers can't get away with ridiculous public shaming however. Victor Surge fucked around with this message at 23:39 on May 23, 2016 |

What's the thread opinion on buying the signal flag bundles? There's a couple specials on the premium shop right now, including one that gives sets of 100 signals each for +50% xp, +50% commander xp, +300% free xp, +20% credits, and -10% repair for 15 dollars. I feel like this would help my high tier ship grinding efforts, but I dunno if this is considered a smart investment or if the money would be better spent elsewhere.

I use those flags all the time but got a ton from events or ranked or achievements and still have over 100 of the +xp and +commander xp ones. They're good, but I'd put getting premium first, if only because you can do tanks too if that's your thing.

Most US ships shells travel about 800m/s so you need to adjust your aim point for them, and the further away the target the more additional lead you need to add past the number of degrees.

Wow, good thing we're getting yet another nerf to IJN destroyers. Because apparently only they are supposed to be forced into having an aggressive playstyle at high tiers. Don't do anything about long-range invisifire though, which both the other destroyer lines can do. Nope, force the lowest health ones to close in the most, well within potential RADAR range, as opposed to their compatriots. Note, I don't even play destroyers all that much, but Fletchers/Gearings and their loving invisifire annoy me far more than long-range torpedoes, which I'm generally fully capable of anticipating and dodging. The latter just requires situation awareness and actually paying attention to the lay of the map. The former just requires sitting in a smoke cloud at 12km and just mindlessly spamming shots until you start fires. So of course they nerf the one that actually requires skill again. Hilariously stupidly, with them stripping the 20 km torps off IJN ships and having already reduced the range of the 15 km torps down to 12 km, the Gearing now gets the longest ranged torpedoes in the game by a significant margin, at 16.5 km. Because making them crappier at their supposed specialty than another nation's ship sure makes sense. Extra points for irony for giving a WW2-era US ship the best torps in the game. Torp speed upgrade will be rather poo poo too, given the shortened ranges, so yet another wasted skill. WG, completely and utterly loving poo poo at balancing. edit: Right, the link. http://forum.worldofwarships.com/index.php?/topic/80610-056-patchnotes-and-downtime/ Hilariously, reading through the thread, this was yet another change snuck in without ever running it by the testers either. Because prior drastic changes of this sort snuck in sure have worked out well. double edit: Wait, they're adding strafing allied planes to the TK criterion? Hahahaha, what? Has anyone ever had an issue with people doing this out of spite? It's a completely legitimate tactic depending on CV matchups, and they're actually penalizing it? Wow.

I kind of understand what you are saying but I'd far rather have DDs spamming guns at me than the constant sudden walls of torps appearing out of nowhere. At least with gunboats you know where they are as you can look for the smoke and heading towards them will normally light them up, torp boats, yeah, don't try that. I'm also getting a bit excited for the new Furutaka, three faster turning double turrets? Yes please.

At least with gunboats you know where they are as you can look for the smoke and heading towards them will normally light them up, torp boats, yeah, don't try that. Torpedoes force ships to turn or die. They're necessary to avoid the hilariously common armor locking meta that is now pervading high tier battles. They're there to make battleships do vulnerable things so battleships can actually die in less than a minute, rather than just go bow on and survive shells from the entire team. If WG hates IJN DDs so much, why don't they just delete them? The Fletcher and Gearing now have the longest ranged torps in the game, that were ALREADY better with regards to detection radius. And the US ships have better guns, too. So now IJN DDs are just RUS DDs with lovely turrets and +2km on torps. Wowee. loving wargaming. The Zao can still stealth fire, and the Yamato still overmatches high tier BB armor, but no, lets nerf IJN DDs again, that's the solution!

Why the Shima got 50% more torps per salvo (3x5) than any other ship is beyond me. The nerfs to the actual Torpedos range for me were justified although their Detection ranges should be no different between these 3 ships and the USN equivalents really. Or leave their detection range worse but give them faster reload or more dmg. Right now the best torpedo boat in the game is Fletcher IMO.
