I'm a masochist, so I toiled through the grind on Karl to get the Königsberg. It is amazing. It feels like a mini-Cleveland with lots of torps instead of god-AA.

So, the module Gun Fire Control system only increases range at cost to dispersion, right? Given IJN bb's already good range, would not mounting it in order to keep the guns more accurate be a decent idea, or does it affect more hidden stats that don't display with alt?

Had a really awesom Farragut game where everything just kinda clicked. I gunned down a cruiser at one point, then immediately torped a BB.. that hit just before he fired. Good thing, I had 94 health at the end of it. From there, I gunned down the CV beyond detection range, and got the game ending torp strike on the final BB after he managed to finally knock me out.

MoraleHazard posted:I'm glad I spent 12 bucks on the Murmansk. It's good for training ny Ruski dd captains and is a great premium. I went 1v1 against a Furutaka and beat it handily. Pure DD vodka swilling officer on the Murmansk is hilarious. I think you can get detection range down to something silly like 11.5km or something close to that, so by the time some enemy DD detects you, you can go ahead and pop acoustic search, burn them down while charging into torp range and hitting targets of opportunity before disappearing into the fog(I know, no smoke). Between the officer skill and the module, torp reload is at a comfortable 60s. Murmansk as a fat DD is amazingly fun, try it. Pseudophile fucked around with this message at 03:46 on Dec 31, 2015 |

I finally unlocked the Kiev today! I'm pretty much at T7 with everything, I do have an NC and I recently finished grinding the Pensacola for the New Orleans. I've been focusing mainly on US ships and guns. http://warships.today/player/1016009283/na/Faustfick

Loving Africa Chaps posted:Idianapolis and arizona both discounted this weekend. Are either worth picking up? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIZgFDI2A_0 Indianapolis is one of my favorite ships. If you can sling AP into battleship superstructure, you can do absurd amounts of damage. It's not uncommon to see 5k+ volleys this way. It also has radar, at tier seven.

I've been on the fence for a long time about the Atago, since I have a few premiums already. I'm really glad they offered the Takao, because wow. The grind was worth it. Even the stupid camo and voice is worth it. -e- Now I have to level up this schoolgirl, I need to see this thing with Concealment Expert.

 I feel like I'm starting to get the Ibuki, using it like a longer ranged Atago. Supporting the BB line and setting other BBs on fire with 5k volleys from 20km, over a mountain. I'm midway to the Zao now, very excited to get there. Any tips for either ship, playstyle quirks that might not be common knowledge?

Blinks77 posted:60 battles. 80% win rate. I trained up a second Bismarck captain with concealment expert instead of manual secondaries as the T5 captain skill. Your detection drops to 12.3km with camo and the module, which does wonders for making cruisers and DDs poo poo their pants when you suddenly appear out of nowhere and start spewing HE in your 11km zone of death. This also has the benefit of letting you put nasty salvos on broadside ships that have no idea you're in the sweet spot until you open up.

JuffoWup posted:It is fascinating how quickly pubbies are picking up that infamous HE spamming shups are to be killed quickly thanks to ifhe. It didn't take them as long as I expected for the learning to reach them. Shinyhorse with IFHE is flat out BRUTAL. Once I'm around 10km, I start slinging AP but it's really satisfying to get multiple citadels on a cruiser from a long range HE volley.

I haven't really been active a lot here or on the discord, though I have been keeping up and playing now and then. Made it to 9 last season, hopefully I can bang my head against a brick wall long enough to rank out. Sparkledancer in game, some of you have played with me before I think. I'm 150k ish away from Des Moines. I really like the Baltimore, the New Orleans was good as well. I like US cruisers, you lose torps but gain great concealment, fantastic AA, and that amazing AP cannot be overstated. It hits hard. Radar is .. radar. Use it. Pray your team notices you used it. I got through the Pensacola before the buffs, and it really taught me a lot about how to position myself and mitigate the punishment you take for making mistakes. Then I got the Indy when it came out, and it just felt like what the Pensacola should have been. Now I'm kinda spoiled by the Baltimore. I'm really looking forward to the Des Moines, the videos I've watched make it seem so drat fun.
