PirateBob posted:WOWS: Anyone tried the upgrades yet? Such as Gun Fire Control System Modification 1, or Main Battery Modification 2? Yea. Put the Main Turret RoF on the Cleveland. Shits out shells even faster. 12 rounds every like 9 seconds I think. Really tears up DDs and when left alone all those AP shells coming in on BBs add up fast.

Subyng posted:How do you aircraft carrier? Played my first game with the Langley and accomplished nothing. Juffo probably can guide you slightly better than I, but if it's the base Langley set your fighters to escort a BB of some type where they can relocate quickly and then hold the torp bombers back and off to the side a little. When you see a torpedo flight jump them with the fighters. Cackle if you kill all of them (decent chance if you catch them early). Wait for either a cruiser or battleship to be spotted angle the torpedo bombers to attack in such away to maximize hitting the length of the vessel. BBs are preferable targets, but getting cruisers out of the game early is nice. In terms of upgrades the 2nd flight deck gets you 2 fighter squads use then use them to jump everything. 2 on 1 enemy fighter squads them wreck the bomber/torp squads. Late game use fighters as meat shield/escort to eat shots while your torpedo bombers ruin remaining ships. Just realized I'm an awful 47%'er so far  also gently caress like 95% of battleship players. Literally incapable of doing any thing.Addendum: The range of the US 6/7/8 DDs torpedoes is really awful. Plan and play accordingly. It's rough. rex rabidorum vires fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Jan 25, 2015 |

It was a full two weeks after I was accepted into wave 1 of Alpha before they actually granted me access to the game. The chatter I remember and I'm not trying to be pissy about it...tanks is really sapping my will to live, granted I fear WoWS will probably do the same went there's some sort of XVM set up for it.

Called some pub a number of interesting and not very pleasant names for trying to cap out instead of chasing down the 3 enemy carriers that were left in a tier 5 game. When he wouldn't leave cap I tk'ed him to both the joy and amusement of my team. I think this is a good test of the chat and tk system. He did not. I suggest tk'ing shitlords as a test of the games systems and your own general amusement.

Can the IS-8 perform well or dominate in the tier 9 game? Not on the same level as an E75. It can preform well, however consistency out of it relies more on pubbies being bad than the tank being good.

demonR6 posted:Yep. Also I am running Sweet FX on that too and the graphics are night & day better. I ran the Nick with stock torps the whole way thru. The slight upgrade in damage is not worth losing 8 kilometers of range. On the tier 6 I think both sets of torps are only 5.5 km range which makes life extremely dangerous...might be off there though...the T7 is definitely crazy short range but has a very nice throw weight. I found the most effective way to play the 7 was to smoke early stick with BBs and provide AA (has a ton of point defenses) then in mid late game to pop anything that is too close to your blob or targets of opportunity. rex rabidorum vires fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Feb 6, 2015 |

NTRabbit posted:The fun one is trying to get the double hit in the artillery mission without one of the big guns - I finally got Pearl River, preaimed at the middle section where tanks are guaranteed to be jammed up against each other, and not a single loving enemy tank went middle. SU-5 with the 152. Shoots a very high arc with 3.3 meter splash. Took 2 games and I got it dealing 150 damage to 2 tier 4s hiding behind a rock. Since the circle is very round at longer ranges its fairly easy to drop shots between tanks.

I ran the top 90 on the arl 45 and played it like a fat t20. Seemed to work reasonably well. If I could afford to shoot all the gold the 105 was solid on it, but the 90 forced me to conserve hit points better and allowed for more standoffish engagements which meant you could pop up fire and then duck the shot.

Hellsau posted:Just a reminder for everyone here - do not shoot HEAT from the T71/M41, or from tier ten mediums. APCR is a vastly superior round to HEAT. You can carry some HEAT for specifically the side of E100/Maus turrets where you just need a little bit more raw pen. I stopped carrying HEAT on the 140 outside of like 3 rounds because I ran out of APCR after doing 4800 DMG and had 15 heat rounds and it failed to pen the flat side of an e100 because of reasons. loving point blank in the side NOOOOOPPPPEEEE

JustNorse posted:I just graduated to the M6, any suggestions on equipment? Rammer, gun laying drive and? Gld, rammer, optics. Sit back use your pen. 160 silver is enough to punch through most 7s the 240 apcr will pen everything. The 6 doesn't really have armor but the gun handles nicely and the DPM is quite good. It scoots pretty well for its size so ramming can lead go some pretty funny results.

Haquer posted:Finally watched it and it was amazing Sorry about that...I usually put a warning up not to watch from my view. I have the sniper toggle on the right mouse button and compulsively zoom in to where I am aiming. It can make people watching over my shoulder dizzy. It is just a really weird habit I got into. Position, zoom in, fire. Saw a 13 57 in the wild last night and watched a decent player put up 1200 damage in a tier 8 game....so immediately bought one and played 5 games in it. Seeing tier 10s is a little weak and the 195 apcr will make life a little rough if you have to fight from the front, but otherwise it was hilarious. Being able to mag dump a t34 from the side before he even reacts is great. The burst is a bit to be desired but the fact that it is 8 seconds to shred something then 14.5 to be ready to do it again is nice. I enjoyed it immensely.

The SU85 is awful. I honestly think it might be one of the worst tier 5s. Its view range and HP combo makes it nearly impossible to do anything on your own.

Also after 3 games in the STUG without the top gun I already like it more. Whatever...TDs really aren't my thing, but if I'm going to get some of those high TD missions going to need a 704.
