^^^ What's the magic pen number for shooting E4s in the turret? I've not that that much luck shooting them there. CitizenKain posted:I wish I ran into those people whenever I take my IS-7 out. I just don't like how sluggish it is accelerating and turning. You should fight me in my 113 - I got absolutely wrecked by a 47% guy in an IS-7 last night, even though I opened the fight by sneaking up and shooting him square in the rear end. It bounced, shell must have left my gun sideways, then he turned around and pain happened. Oh, guess what SS is upset about now? quote:Oh yes and one more thing. The girl crews will have male voiceovers, as confirmed by Erissa, WG EU employee. I am sure we are all excited about our new drag queen crews. Hell, maybe they even decided to replace China in the game with Thailand…

BIG HEADLINE posted:Oh gently caress me, you have to 'start' every single mission singularly. I just finished LT-1 'with honors' and you have to go *BACK* into the Personal Missions tab to select the next LT mission. Here's some bullshit: You have to click the right thing on the box that pops up, the blank box, or your mission is not complete. You can't complete it from the mission page afterwards - guess right when it pops up or gently caress off and do it again. E: Wait no, I mist have clicked the invisible "Improve result" button which allows you to try again.

I kinda wish they had put a moderate to tough XP/damage gating mission at the start of each set so you don't simultaneously have every single shitter in the game trying to do all the missions at once. Having to actually play a good game per class first would have spread out the rate at which people got into the missions proper and encouraged them to play well at least until that point.

JuffoWup posted:Also, for those looking at the heavy tank cap fast mission, it might be easier to turn on encounter and run it down that way. I actually turned Encounter off again due to that mission (Had it on for the 111 mission) - the base takes so much longer to cap in that mode, and while you do sometimes get retardedly early FASTCAPs it is not something you can count on. A fast heavy in normal mode can either cap after winning a flank, or relocate if another flank breaks through and starts capping. So far capping and as a heavy and getting a ram kill as a heavy have been the most annoying for me to do. They're both things that happen fairly often, of course, but they were pretty hard to force out in a short time.

The best thing about the Yamato class is that 1 or 2 of them got converted to carriers... Massive carriers that could launch up to 45 airplanes!  Zettace posted:So World of Warships is kind of fun. It's a decent game but there's a huge sync issue were ships are not actually where the game says they are. Ships are frequently in a different spot as displayed graphically and thus makes aiming impossible. Shots that hit dead on will just go through and do no damage but shots that hit the water in front of the ship will sometimes give you a "hit" which really ruins the atmosphere of the game. Are you sure your're not just over-penning? It's entirely possible to shoot through lightly armoured ships with AP for little to no damage, and if you hit the water in front of a ship you could still hit the forward hull. Sure, it could be lag issues, but it might not be.

Axetrain posted:Making the Bismarck a premium ship would be a good move financially while just having the Tirpitz be the regular tier whatever. You just know all those wehraboos would be more than willing to fork over for a genuine Kriegsmarine Legendtm. You don't unlock specific ships in WoWS, you unlock classes - just like WoT or WoWP. The Bismarck was the first of the Bismarck class, so it's all but certain your're going to be unlocking Bismarcks in WoWS. Unlocking classes would also let you pick a shipname - so you could have "KMS Dongs, a Bismarck class battleship" (I don't like Germany used ship prefixes, but pfft, I like them). If anything it'll be the Tirpitz that'll be a premium, being a famous named ship within an existing class - kind like Fury. For the guy wondering about the E-100 stock gun: It's workable I suppose, especially if you shoot a lot of gold (which is also true for the 150mm!), although it does mean you point your flat turret face at people more often due to the higher RoF. unlimited shrimp posted:Alright, a better question then: Low tier Prems have a big XP multiplier now, plus the new prem crew XP multiplier, so if you are training a new light crew you can cycle them through your prems for doubles + prem XP boosts for extra fast training.

 There's not one specific tank in history called the Tiger which you play as - you play as Tiger class tanks. "Lees" and "Shermans" are also classes of tanks. The Fury is unusual as it is a single specific tank that multiple people have copies of.

This is a "feature": Darkrenown posted:Ahaha, wow. So on the RU server Winter mode came with "hidden missions" (because the problem with missions is that you can see what you need to do ingame and work towards it, right?). Long story short they were totally hosed up and players have been earning hundreds of thousands of XP, 3-4k per game with games lasting ~ 5 mins and a crew XP multiplier on top. Don't worry though, these terrible bugs will be fixed before it goes live on the EU or NA servers.

sauer kraut posted:That's the first gameplay of WoWS I've seen yet, not even gonna bother until torps get removed. This is a dumb thing to say. Bombers are much better than arty because you can see them coming and both shoot them down and take steps to dodge them actively rather than just trying to drive evasively when you're spotted. There are also Escorts on your team and Fighters from your own CVs which may help you in shooting them down - and being shot at can disrupt the torpedo launch even if it doesn't kill many/all of the bombers. The only thing I think that might need changed is to add a short "arming range" so you can't manually drop torps right on top of enemy ships.

I thought the thing with smoke is that you get flashes of visibility through it when you fire. I don't know, but I would assume this only counts guns, not torps. So a sneaky DD in a smoke could probably isn't firing and is invisible, but a Cruiser outside if probably hammering out volleys at something and can be targeted for a torping.

Hello tanksthread! I played some tanks for the first time in a while today. I think I last played a little after the personal missions started? Anyway, I have a strange thing: I have 2 crew members trained as Panther 8.8 crew. I have never owned a hitlerpanther. One, a loader, was sitting in my T-15, the other, a radio man, was in the barracks. They both have almost 2 skills trained. Did any german tanks change crew configuration which might have caused these dudes to be auto re-trained? Besides that, anything new and interesting? I see missions don't seem to require platoons anymore which is nice, and there's a couple of new Soviet premiums.

I posted that I got poo poo ton of XP without getting a badge above 3rd class on a game where I was not getting the daily x2. Then of course, the response was "no you didn't you liar..." essentially, of course when I posted the screenshot there are 50 other reasons why it doesn't prove the You are retarded and everything you say is wrong, even after multiple people have explained why you are wrong you just keep getting wronger. Again, Base XP is your XP before any modifiers and this is what mastery badges are based on. Getting a bunch of XP from missions and not getting a good mastery badge is perfectly normal and expected. Also, when you point out a game was not a double that also implies there were not any other mission XP multipliers. You have no idea what you are talking about, please shut up.
