sauer kraut posted:I see, replace torp bobmers with very slow and vulnerable Stukas maybe? It may seem like it, but you have to keep in mind a few things. This guy is a really good alpha player especially with carriers. The carriers he sunk with his torpedo bombers were Langley's, which are slow and un-maneuverable compared to other carriers. They also have almost no armor which means they are really easy to sink with a well aimed strike. Also, most games do not go that easy. He was lucky in the sense that he found the carriers pretty easily, had only 1 squad of fighters try to intercept his bombers and he got a near perfect strike with his torpedoes. Bombers are slow things and if he had been intercepted, he would have lost most of them. Your best bet is to try the game first, and then decide if you like it or not. Hopefully, like most of us, you will have a blast and will not even remember that you have the option to go play tanks. sauer kraut posted:I see, replace torp bobmers with very slow and vulnerable Stukas maybe? Keep in mind, in WoWS, a properly played low tier is still very useful in a game.

Illegal Carrot posted:Now someone please list all the reasons Wargaming will never change arty in any meaningful way. Because SERB loves player's tears, and you are helping to fill up the pool he plans to swim in. Seriously, this subject comes back waaaay too often in any WoT thread on any forum. Many solutions have been proposed so far, none seems to have been listened to. I personally don't mind getting hit by arty once in a while but I can understand why purple players hate it, since they are more likely to be a target if an arty player has the proper mod. However, I still think that artillery is not nearly as big a problem as most people say. Getting shot is part of the game. Being shot by an invisible TD that you can't spot is no better than being shot at by an arty who will most likely not get to shoot again for another 30 to 40 second depending on his crew skill/modules. Most maps have plenty of cover and when used properly, will make artillery look for an easier target. *braces for the incoming hate*

sarmhan posted:I got a little too clever with destroyer maneuvering once or twice and clipped an island. Fortunately smoke screen meant I didn't die! Also Torpedoing a battleship that hit an island is the most satisfying thing. Being a battleship getting torpedoed while stuck on an island isn't as fun tho.. I fixated on a cruiser like a retard and completely lost track of my surroundings. Hit the island fullspeed and it took me nearly 2 minutes to even realize that I wasn't moving anymore. I don't know if you're the bastard DD that sent me to the bottom but.. Well done. never not make me pay for stupid mistakes.

McGavin posted:This. If you do it properly the ship you're targeting can't dodge at all. Comfirmed. There's a few match I fought in which whoever was navigating those carriers knew what the hell he was doing. He would drop his torpedoes so close, there was nothing that could be done. Even if you saw the plane comming and started turning early... Most torpedoes would slam on the side of your ship and sink you. Fortunately, most people playing carriers have no idea how to do this (gently caress, even I learnt it after the last beta) which means most of the time you can avoid a quick death.

Aramoro posted:This is what I find, Arty dictates some interactions like you can't just sit hull down in a hollow and be invincible but it's mostly the high tier mediums that really do that damage. No no no... Artillery is the bane of this game and the reason why the world is so gray. Remove artillery from the game and you will see rainbows everywhere, little girls dancing in the sun with butterflies all around them. Birds will suddenly turn into disney cartoons and sing along..

Hellsau posted:Ah fair enough. On the NA server, playing on other accounts is allowed but whenever it comes up the mods are quick to note that owning multiple account is against the ToS. Do they even provide a reason for that? I mean, wtf do they care if people have multiple accounts since you're technically only playing one at a time. The way I see it, as long as people pay for gold ammo and crap like that, wargamming shouldn't be giving a poo poo. Unless they don't like it in order to cater to the playerbase who think that having good stats at W.o.T makes them somebody in real life?

Animal posted:I'm on the SPG mission where you have to track an enemy, and its just not giving me the award. I keep trying to cancel the mission and start again and no joy. Does the mission allow for any SPG or a specific tier? Are you sure your shot is what caused the tracking? I would recommend a high tier artillery. The bigger splash radius and higher damage might lead to better result.

Trollocalypse posted:They have to be killed by a teammate while still tracked. Best thing to do is fire at targets that have a couple of hundred hitpoints over your average hit damage with the arty you're using. So, if you're making pubbies cry in a ConquerorGC only shoot at poo poo that's on about 1100 HP and close to some random shitlord that'll probably miss/bounce his shot anyway just to frustrate you. drat... I don't know if its just me, but it sounds as tho there are quite a few number of missions that require teammates involvement. That has got to suck if you're not in a platoon. Valle posted:Maybe so if you get banned for something you can't just jump on the next account? I dunno. And if they were catering to the playerbase with regards to stats, wouldn't they allow it so people could reroll to pretend to be better? Trying to stop people from jumping to another account after a ban would make sense I suppose. However, I personally have not seen a longer ban than 24 hours. If people can't live without tanks for 24 hours, they have a serious problem and need to learn to enjoy better games such as literally anything. As for the stats thing, if they were catering to people who care about stats, then no.. i don't think they'd allow new accounts for re-roll. Quite the contrary, I think they would want stats to remain what they are because what is the point of statistic if you can change them whenever you want? Too many people would bitch.. which isn't anything new or anything SerB has ever cared about. Long live SerB.

rossmum posted:Well, I might struggle to get over 5k damage in tanks, but you better believe I just landed 185,000 damage in boats. Amagi be my waifu~ I am so loving jealous of your ability to play botes at the moment, you have no idea. Tell me (without being too precise and going against the NDA) how different are the weekend Beta from what you guys are currently experiencing in the Alpha? Does the lower pool of player affect matchmaking much? From what I remember, the matchmaking was kind of horrible during the beta. FFS, I ended up being alone in a Lexington on my team, vs 3 langleys and a cruiser during one of my matches.

rossmum posted:My first battle in Yamato was historically accurate: I shot at someone and then got torped by planes and capsized. My second was better, I dunked some lower tier BBs. My third? That must have been one lucky shot.  Nagato has enough HP that it shouldn't be sunk in one shot unless you hit something critical. Also... at that distance it had to be plunging fire... How much armor does the Nagato have again on its decks? Still.. Bet you can't do that twice.  Also, no longer playing Tanks is one of the best thing anyone can do in their lives. So much less frustration. In your case tho, at least you were good at it. NTRabbit posted:I've been reading about, drawing, and playing games with warships and naval combat since I was 4, why the gently caress can't I get into the alpha? For some reason, I can picture a bunch of model boats in your home... am I right? If I am.. that's just awesome dude.

Tahirovic posted:Makes me wonder if there's actually people out there who believe Chiang "I am losing 60% of my american gear to the commies" Kai-shek wasn't the second worst military leader only beaten by Douglas "the Japanese would never bomb my airfield" MacArthur. You would have a much easier time trolling about MacArthur, Churchill or Patton than you would about any chinese/japanese/korean leader. Most people in Europe/North America don't know jack poo poo about other cultures, so it'd be irrelevent. You can always try one of these lines instead: If Churchill hadn't been such a drunk, Hitler's armies would never have made it out of Germany. Patton was a coward and its why he liked commanding tanks. A few ton of heavy steel around him is the only way he ever felt safe. Or my Favorite: The only thing MacArthur ever said that made sense, was that he should nuke China.

Cardiac posted:From demonR6 descriptions (and not having played WoWS sofar) it sounds like WG not including submarines was probably pretty smart. The game is not nearly as rage inducing as WoT. Individual skills seem to matter a lot more than it does in wot. It doesn't matter if you have the biggest and baddest ship if you can't land a shot to save your life. Matchmaking was awful, but it can be expected considering it was just a weekend beta. I can only hope that more players and a bit of tweaking from WG will fix. The current Meta (or rather, the Meta during the beta weekend) focussed a lot on torpedoes. It almost seems like battleships have been put in the game solely so that destroyers and carriers can sink them using torpedoes. I am not kidding when I say there is just too many god drat torpedoes in the water at any given time. If its not the enemy team trying to sink you with them, its pubbies on your team unloading theirs at the worst possible time. For example, at the start of the match when they can't possibly hit anyone but their team mates.

Hellsau posted:Lots of people are having crashes. It may or may not be linked in some way to cheaty mods, but people with no mods on are also getting crashes. The only ways to avoid crashes are to stop playing, or just don't install mods to try to minimize them. I have taken the liberty to bold the most important part of your sentence. As someone who has won W.o.T by no longer playing, I strongly recommend this course of action.

A few years ago, a friend of mine used to be a roomate. He would suck at games at all hours of the day/night and not give a poo poo about who's in the appartment. He broke a few keyboards and going to Toys 'R us was a weekly event to go buy new PS2 controllers. One day we came back from the store with a new remote and within 1 hour he had ripped the cord from the remote in a fit of rage. He's lucky cellphone camera's were not a thing back then, cuz his rear end would have ended up on youtube at least once a week. Come to think of it, Youtube didn't exists back then...
