Is there a reason why T32s and T29s seem so vulnerable to arty? Even when playing the tier 5 French 105Lefh arty shooting at a T29 will almost always deal ~300 damage while shooting something like a M6 or even a KV-1 will only deal on average 100 damage?

They are large tanks that want to sit in very certain spots to hide their hulls, Its going to hurt with anything if they get hit in the hull, and in the top of the giant T29 turret too

Is it like you are looking in one direction only and cannot turn the turret at all but in reality it is?

No, the turret is also stuck as if holding down right click to stop turret and gun traverse. If I fire the gun janks abit for the first shot and than stays still for other following shots. I have uninstalled my mods and see if that works, but I have had a weekend of very bad storms so I'm getting pocket loss to everything

EDIT: well it seems mod related as I did some low tier tonks and it never appeared again

There is a story that went around while it was airing, since it got a few delays mid season for unknown reasons apparently there was background bickering with the producers and the visual guys, The TLDR version was they where sneaking in more obverse fan service into the show, while the producers wanted none of that, and such when they did find some later on they got them to redo the entire scene with said fan service to remove it

Its probably shows its a mix of culture acceptance, and just pervy animation guys

I'm at the TD mission where you need to do critical damage and not have critical damage yourself at the end of the battle, and so far between my E3, E4 and Foch I've done about 12k damage without scoring a critical hit, not including the damage in games where I didn't meet the other half of the criteria. This includes my E4 slam dunking a really bad W-100 for three shots into the gun shield, nada.

So in other words, you need to do a 0 damage shot :v:

How bad is the KV-4 if we forget it sees tier 10?

Seeing T10's is pretty much a killer for the KV-4. I have had some very funny T10 matches where I have used the hard angles and bounced heavy hitting TD's. but those matches only showed up a handful of time. Its slow, but not as slow as the KV-3 oddly, Its has a jarring weekpoint in its second turret. But, they got to have a high pen gun or be taller than you, and as such in T8 games it kinda becomes a fake weakpoint, since most tanks don't have a high pen gun yet, and you are taller than them

I want my battlecruisers, so that I can explode in glorious balls of flame when a battlebote looks in my general direction.

I forget, are they planning to have separate BB/BC lines? Or are they going to be "fast" and "slow" ships? I seem to see contradictory reports.

I believe in last weekends test client that that the BC's where pretty much the high tier cruisers, though its still up in the air since japan did not have a complete cruiser line, but had a complete battle ship line, while US did not have a battleship line but a complete cruiser line.

They maybe still trying to juggle these sub classes of ships around. It will be interesting to see what they do with Germany, Since after the early years of WWII, its navy just seemed to be swimming with U boats...which wont be in the game, and that they never had an aircraft carrier presence

Ummm, the jap tree had a complete cruiser line. The final one looks kind of over powered too. It was a do everything boat. And not just small stuff.

I don't think they showed off the entire Japan Cruiser line for the beta testers, as the cruisers where cut off at Tier 4 where everyone else could go to Tier 5, since they had complete lines.

Stevefin
Sep 30, 2013

Yeah I know they walled it at tier 5, and that the Japanese did not have a T5 cruiser for the beta. And only one carrier.

But enough being picky, its going to be good playing botes again. at the mercy of aircraft carriers this time

Divebombers are pretty disappointing. I was hoping they would do a bit more damage, but I guess they're basically just the plane-version of HE rounds.

I thought Prinz Eugen was generally credited with the kill shot? PoW had part of her main battery fail because she was so new that they hadn't been able to complete full sea trials.

Bismark was just an average battleship by the standard of the KGV, Richlieu, North Carolina and South Dakota. Did orders of magnitude less than bad German tanks for the same mythical reputation

I think who sank the Hood is just as debatable as who sank the Bismark, But I think its more credited to Bismark due to the ship exploded on its volley

But as for tech. Well its a battleship, All you can do is get bigger and better? though I think it had more modern AAA guns, since apparently they where so advanced they could not hit a swordfish :v:

Really? It seems loving insane to add Russia to botes before the UK, and Germany + Italy should probably be in before Russia too. russianbias.jpg

Next was supposed to be UK, But they went with Russia as the next tree cause of the huge nationalism pride of their major player base, which they say is Russian :shrug:

But it will mean we should than get a UK tree within the first year of them releasing the Russian one. I really hope they do not do what navy field did for their Russian tree

The underwater hit the Bismarck took was the sort that a commerce raider simply cannot afford if they get caught not near port. It could just as easily have been the Bismarck scuttling herself in port waiting for fuel in South America after an inconclusive fight, not the Graf Spee. The KGV and Bismarck against each other is probably a roll of the dice to be honest, it's all about critical hits, and the KGV could easily knock out the Bismarck's fire direction like Rodney or flood her machinery with more underwater hits or something bad could've happened to her. That sort of thing is a numbers game. Problem is the Bismarck weighed enough to be armed with and armored against 16", and that would've been no contest.

Yeah that is true of the guns, while during its construction they abandoned the London/Washington treaty, though the Bismark its self did not get any modification during its construction, unlike its sister ship that started construction later, which is probably where the idea of making the ship harder to sink at the expense exposed areas, If it took a few hits but still made it back. who cares? it would of probably been retrofitted coming back, but of cause it did not come back.

In terms of in game, I think the Bismark will be a premium ship. But its sister ship the T7-8 battleship, since Bismark lasted less than a year and so no upgrades :v:

For botes kinda both true and not true. As far as i could see. If there was a great amount of that class built. Than they will use the class hull
But if one made it to/near the end of the war with an up to date retrofit or modification. Than they will use that ship and not the class

From demonR6 descriptions (and not having played WoWS sofar) it sounds like WG not including submarines was probably pretty smart.
So, people in WoWS, is it worth downloading and playing once it is released on the 12th?
Is it as rage inducing as WoT? Cause I really don't need another game like that (I also just downloaded Tropico 5 on Steam sale).

It is pretty chill compared to wot. Least that is how it was in beta weekends,it also helps the tier to teir diffrance is not as large as it is in wot so anything feels useful many tiers lower.

Does anyone know how bad the ping is from Asia (specifically Singapore) to the US servers?

I downloaded the asian server version a few days ago and i'm having fun, but playing without goons just sucks.

If the ping isn't too bad i don't mind restarting on the US server(s).

edit: Screw it i'm downloading the NA client. I'm going to create a new WG NA account, does anyone want to toss me an invite or referral code?

The ping depends on your net provider really. I get better and more stable ping on US West than Asia, but US East is unplayable.

You also don't need to re download the entire client, there is a region selector mod that changes the few lines between the different clients, saves having to re download everything again

I am at the O-I exp. The tank just feels like the worst tier 5 heavy in the game. I also get the feeling something is broke regarding HE splash damage against it. In that it will take full damage from splash. I have had to put on the super heavy spall liner to try and survive a single splash from arty or KV2's

Edit: I take back every mean thing I have said about this tank
