I'd be happy to bring out some tier 10's to support. I don't play my Yamato unless I'm in a division.

Probably not a bad idea. First time I've played it in weeks, so was just impulsively taking it out tonight. Admittedly, battleships weren't really the issue in any of the games, but looking into divisions certainly couldn't hurt. Also, actually remembered to reattach a Detonation flag after the one incident. Normally just prefer to save them for the next ranked season, and it comes up so rarely regardless I simply don't normally use them on anything else anymore. Still, since I also play Yamato only rarely, and the credit loss is so high if RNG does decide to gently caress you, might as well permanently attach it.

If I'm online you have my Zao. And yeah, detonation flags are for ranked and Tier 10.

Hey tell me about the Farragut. I free-xp'd through the second half of the Nicholas to get the discount. Seem's like anti-DD and cap guy, torps are risky attacks of opportunity. Is AP ever a thing for it?

AP for American destroyers is a thing if you get close to cruisers--under 7 KM, where it'll keep its shell velocity. Then you can get massively repeating citadels on them and make them poo poo themselves in fear.

Is AP ever a thing for it? If you get close to cruisers you can nail them with AP. Its really risky but getting a comment from someone when you get 5 citadels on someone in a cruiser in 10 seconds.

cheese posted:The cleveland doesn't have citadels. I shoot HE at it in my Amagi. Its so good if you hit one though, even if completely by accident. I hit one that was going broadside to my Kongo at 8km, the citadel hit did 10k, and the other 2 shots did about 6k. He hid behind a island for the rest of the match.

If you run into a pink player, does the damage caused to you reset their pink status?

Cleveland has 2 smaller citadels located under the guns. They made them easier to hit a bunch of patches ago.

There are generally three kinds of Yamato: Secondary Build Concealment Build Repair Build (Jack of all Trades) I used to think the third one sounded dumb until I had a game where I did 80k damage to a Yamato in my Udaloi because I had some stupid good luck with the timing on a few fires. I didnt even focus on him that much, he was just a convenient target while I got in range of other stuff.

Devorum posted:Premium counts across the board, but it doesn't look like gold/Doubloons do. No trick to it. They are in fact hot garbage unless you are a tier 9 or 10 USN CV. On ships that you have time to set up a run and you think you can hit, you can manual drop them. Usually against BB or CV only. Mostly DBs exist to lay down a fire on someone who just used their repair on flooding or on another DB.

Dive Bombers on my Indy and Ranger are really good at finishing off damaged cruisers, especially if their AA is on cooldown, and they're pretty good at loving up destroyers provided you haven't angered the RNG gods

Interestingly, while you can indeed citadel someone with dive bombers, it won't actually give you the ribbon. The odds of this happening at anything other than the lowest tiers is likely vanishingly low, but it is possible. Discovered this the other day in my Bogue when I dropped on a Tenryu, hitting with only one bomb but watching 7500 hp evaporate off it. Not that this saved me, since he was chasing me at the time, but I can't imagine he appreciated it.

In my experience the reload mod is worth it, the reduced turn speed is barely noticable and in most situations you're still waiting for your guns to reload more than you're waiting for them to turn.

US ones only go 34 kts (aside from Langley, which has 35 kt ones), and IJN ones go a blistering 35 kts so yes, it's perfectly possible to outrun them in certain ships. There's a reason basically every CV captain ever takes Torpedo Acceleration, to boost the speed up to something vaguely reasonable.

IJN Dive Bombers have better focused accuracy, but most dive bombers dont do much until the US line hits T8. The Lexington, Essex, and Midway's dive bombers do a lot of damage, but are still subject to the same bullshit RNG that is Dive Bombers.

Anyone know if there is a mod or what file to delete to get rid of that horribly annoying heartbeat/go deaf when you get citadel hit on you? I know I have been hit, my health bar just dropped 50%, I don't need dumb audio gimmicks.

The counterpoint to that is if you're divisioned with a carrier player that's hot-poo poo and can work out the timings well, you can lock down a ship into going one direction for a while as they strattle the torpedoes. Then they have to decide between eating torps or eating citadels, hilarious amounts of HE, or bogging down for a while and generally sitting with their dick in their hands trying to get the engines going at a good speed. Granted, this rarely actually happens around me, but it has a handful of times, and it's hilarious when it works.

I remember seeing this from the Jingles videos about competitive wows (I know right), this was the popular cv tactic alongside the speedy empty bombers being used to scout
