So carriers - are USN planes that much superior to IJN planes? Because IJN carriers consistently get more flights than their USN counterparts, or is it balanced out some other way? Are IJN carriers flaming death trap glass cannons where US ones can take a bit more of a beating maybe?

I just got a Langley to join the ranks of dishonourable shitters, is there a way to drop torps at ranges closer than the edge of the circle? I'm fairly sure people have done that to me, but that could just be my imagination I suppose.

What is a "manual" drop exactly? I've heard people throwing the term around a lot, but I don't understand what it means, you can click a target to order an attack, and it happens automaticly, so presumably that is a non manual attack. What else can you do that is a manual attack then? E:nvm, I found some videos. Pharnakes fucked around with this message at 17:42 on Jul 18, 2015 |

El Disco posted:It's not so bad at high tiers because the Fletcher and Gearing both get really good torpedoes. Having just got to the abomination that is the Mutsuki and promptly lost all my enthusiasm for IJN DDs, it seems like US DDs start getting good as the IJN ones drop off. Unfortunately there's some real duffers you have to get through to arrive their. Also, does anyone know roughly how long until the next nation, whatever that might be, is released? Are we looking at months or years? I remember in WoT it took ages, but WoT had a year long "closed" beta, and maybe this time round they have the resources to make it happen much faster.

So what is that saying exactly? That on the russian servers, 17.8% of the total hp lost by T9 battleships is due to fire? Or is it something else?

Panfilo posted:I've been playing for about 32 days now, and have the Ranger. How long will it take to get Midway if I'm playing approximately 15 hours a week? I saw in the stat study there were only 5 players in NA that have it? I don't think its the hours as such that are stopping people getting it, it's your tolerance for carrier matchmaking bullshit. Personally mine ran out at the Bogue, but if you have made it to the Ranger maybe you can go all the way.

I feel like HE spam on a BB should knock its secondaries and AA, leaving it vulnerable to others in your team, but it shouldn't really do much very actual HP damage.

They haven't got round to it yet, and/or they want to encourage you to spend gold for free exp since it will feel like a waste if you don't do something with it.

The problem is, as you say, if there is an IJN DD between you and your target that you didn't know was there.

LegoMan posted:How the hell can you guys actually make your long range shots do what you want besides "hit enemy". I see talk about arcing shots hitting the waterline or deck and for me anything past 4K if I even hit it's a God-damned miracle. Certainely in a BB it's a moot point, but in something like a fully upgraded Clevland its possible provided your target is sailing in a straight line

Hazdoc posted:Hmm, I'm not sure how the skill interacts with AA and secondary batteries. Those usually take damage and then are destroyed, they don't normally crit like other stuff. If the skill gives them a chance to avoid getting damaged, then its a lot better than I thought. But this is WG, so maybe it just magically does nothing. Who knows. There's no way to know when the skill is working, which is a problem. It might even make things worse by keeping the AA guns around to take hp damage for longer. Who knows.

 I am so bad at the Wyoming. I actually quite enjoyed the South Carolina, but the Wyoming I just can't be good in. Anyone got any advice, or should I just give up on BBs and go back to DDs and CA/Ls.

James Garfield posted:Huh. Apparently this patch adds models and stats for USS Worcester Which Worcester are you talking about? The only one I know had 6x2 6" guns and kind of sucked, mostly because the guns were heavily optimised for AA but were too big and slow to be any use against jets and too AAish to be much use for anti surface fire. But she did manage to waste a few million bucks (ineffectually) engaging some geese once.

, some US cruiser with 4x3 8" guns and torpedo launchers, the Kamikaze class destroyer (looks like a premium Minekaze) and a Pensacola as originally built.
premium ships.

Worcesters didn't have 4x3 8" guns either though, they had 6x2 6". And no torpedoes either. E: If they think the Des Monies is over performing (it probably is) just knock the ROF down a little. Removing it entirely would be typical wargaming balancing though I suppose. Pharnakes fucked around with this message at 00:06 on Aug 15, 2015 |

BBs may or may not be the easiest class for people to play, but they are definitely the class to which idiots gravitate in my experience.

Yeah I was wondering about that too, CVs can only launch and recover when steaming at >25kts in a straight line. Making them do it into the wind would be too much for this game though I think.

toadee posted:FYI good CV players do not hide in map corners. Being closer means getting in more attacks. Good CVs will be looking to move up as quickly and closely as possible behind a winning flank. This also means that great CV players like Gaishu have a slightly lower survival rate than you'd expect because they will sometimes get caught out and blapped for it. Yeah but they move up and hide behind an island. If they had to be at speed they couldn't do that. If they are good enough to be charging around at 30kts, not getting spotted, staying close to the frontlines while managing their groups effectively then honestly they deserve it.
