Strobe posted:I dunno what you guys who were making GBS threads on the Phoenix a few pages ago are on about. Sure I get less guns but my torpedoes murder motherfuckers. The Phoenix is terrible until the '38 hull, and then you got to join the cool kids club. It's great for clubbing destroyers: guns, torps, and if all else fails, ramming!

Rorac posted:To be fair, it's a wargaming product, you knew what you were getting into. I'm pretty sure you don't, considering how much the RNG spreads shots anyways. Unless you're trying to sneak, just shoot guns in the general vicinity (especially if you see smoke) until you feel you can start landing shots.

Cruisers like having friends. If you need to deal with a battleship, find someone else to help: DD- pop in and out of the smoke, and screen for the DD so that they can get their torpedoes off CA- attack from different angles, and hatch the BB in with your torpedoes and guns BB- kill faster, and protect your BB from aircraft if needed CV- harass the BB while torps wear him down, then go in for the kill when it's crippled.

Limit BB gun depression so that a destroyer can just come up alongside a BB and plink at it until they brush up against each other and suddenly explode

US DDs can brawl with the early IJN cruisers, starting at T4. Those three twinned guns can just fire nonstop.

I've taken to sending my torpedo bombers to whatever the chokepoints are on the map. Someone always tries to rush ahead and be clever, and even a DD can have a hard time dodging in those narrow straits.

I finally got to the New Mexico and I'm loving being the unkillable god-king of V-VI ranked (barring Molotovs, that is). The default range is absurdly small though; being outranged by DDs before upgrading is just goofy.

Seal-clubbing, and because the Furutaka onwards are very different from the earlier IJN cruisers.

I can't speak for the later ones, but the T4 Russian cruiser is amazing at getting citadels. The shells aren't too big, but when you can shoot a broadside at steep approach angles and the shell velocity will penetrate any other cruiser you face.

I made it to the Colorado. Aside from finally having 16", what can I expect? I've read that it still follows the heavy armor but tight turn style of the New Mexico, but don't know much else aside from there being a lot of contradictory pre/post-buff opinions.

Redeye Flight posted:In other news, advice to all prospective Kaiser captains: favor your starboard side. The wing turrets CAN fire in either direction thanks to how they're set up, but shooting to port will generally be harder than starboard since the starboard-side turret is the forward-mounted one and has to do a massive rotation to get sights on portside targets. So try and keep your enemies to your right. I'm pretty sure that the proper way to play the Nassau and Kaiser is to have enemies on ALL sides.

I just had a Blys match where I wound up with mostly T5s, and discovered quite by accident that Blys AP will citadel an Omaha every time. 14 citadels in three volleys (some shells hit water) and he sank.

When I won it, I didn't have a slot for it but premium ships should come with slots, right? Change your port to the anime one that starts with a Y. ARP ships have port slots that are only usable by that ship (deleting the ship doesn't give you a free slot).

Low tier German BBs are fun once you've confirmed that nothing nearby has torpedoes and you can drive straight into the middle of the enemy. The smaller but faster guns combined with the German secondaries makes for great brawls.

Magni posted:T6 was easy. The Bayern is a bloody mosnter that can go toe to toe with a New Mex while being faster and having a way stronger secondary battery to mulch up destroyers. It's at Rank 15 that the suffering begins. My favorite T6 Ranked match was in a Bayern. Double-Strike a pair of DDs with guns and secondaries, gun down a Fuso, and then ram a full health New Mex as it rounds an island with guns pointed the wrong way.
