Aren't carriers the only type being limited to one per division?

Though it certainly didn't take forever to create. I wouldn't mind having some variants of open ocean. Just to have a bit of visual variety.

NTRabbit posted:There's counterplay to carriers too, and it's a lot easier and more effective than anything you might want to try against the damage vomiting American cruisers. Your counter being: "Hope they target someone else?" - Which was literally your advice. Also Citadels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgLsvV-Dfv4 btw: South Carolina will stomp the St. Louis. (use AP).

NTRabbit posted:The shells all flew over the target or into the water before it, and all were aimed to hit right under the front turret - which is more or less where all the shells that did connect actually landed. I don't even know what game some of you think you're playing if you can guarantee hits, and guarantee citadels from those hits using low tier battleship guns no matter how well you personally aim and lead the target. They spray like nobodies business at all ranges - none of them quite as badly as the Myogi, but none of them are great either. You're aiming for the wrong citadels. You should aim for the engine rooms. Similar damage (though no MEGABOOM), but very consistent damage.

xthetenth posted:Yeah, it seems like closer in citadels just don't happen in battleship duels anymore and I have no idea why. Well that's kinda reasonable. Since you need to hit the waterline from afar to land citadels (thus the shots go below waterline inside the ship). Thus at close range your shots don't arce enough to reach lower. Depends on the target though.

NTRabbit posted:Well I'm still on tier 4. Myogi can't actually hit anything at +15km, making a mockery of the 20km max range, Wyoming is lucky to land more than 2 out of 12 shots at max range. You can't expect to reliably hit the Citadel on long range. The South Carolina can do it around 7km and lower.

The notches aren't about flight time, they're degrees. That's why you have to lead a target moving ~18kts at 10km by 5°* and one going ~34 knots by about 10°*. If it would be shell flight time, you wouldn't have to change the amount of lead to account for speed. * also depends on shell speed.

If I'm not mistaken you did overpenetrate and thus onyl did 10% of your max AP damage (should be 10k in this case). Though if you overpenetrate a turret or other module, it's gone for good.

Well the Myogi is a rather fast BB (~30 knots), and gets a Scout plane. Though that's about the only good things about it.

Scikar posted:Come on guys Furutaka isn't that bad! Zero Gravitas posted:Burn the witch! I do think the Furutaka has a worse reputation than its actual performance. While it reloads slowly and the turret drives aren't exactly fast. It does have a rather big punch. It can be used quite well against distant DDs, with the rather good shell speed and trajectory. And citadeling other cruisers does net nice big numbers.

Michaellaneous posted:It's a bit silly that US DDs don't get better AA since their main armament is basically the best dual purpose gun made in WW2. Well from the Nicholas onwards, the main armament gets used as AA. It's one of the features of the hull upgrads (which cost you one turret). The Nicholas does have a 25 rated AA. Which isn't too bad.

OSad posted:I was so loving salty. I would've played this match and then quit the game for the rest of the day on such a high note, but now I don't know if I should blame the Phoenix or this stupid game mode, or both. Now I'm having to drink gallons of water to try and contain the sodium chloride levels in my body. Just, gently caress normal game mode. gently caress it to hell and back. The standard game mode sucks. It's an infestation in many games: Mechwarrior:Online, Robocraftgame etc. all go for the 2 homecaps gamemode. For reasons... The same stupid draw poo poo in all games that use this game mode. Or both teams circle around the center and who's at the enemy cap first wins. Great game design.

Just had an aweseome round. Luckily in my Murmansk. It's really awesome with the +20% extra range from the Captains Skill (Rank 4). Special Thanks go to the Kuma which decided to show its broadside for far too long. I finally succumbed to enemy fire while attacking the 2 enemy carriers and the last enemy BB (Myogi). But not before sinking both carriers and firing a last torpedo spread at the Myogi. Which did sink it.

Hazdoc posted:It takes the highest tier and then pairs it with the worst possible tier any boat in your div could see. So if you have a T5 CV, and then a T4 BB, and a T6 CA it'll take the 6 of the CA, and the MM of a BB, and give you up to T9 opponents. A T6 CA can be matched against T9 on its own. Otherwise a St. Louis and a Hosho should get matched against T6. Going to test this now.

UV_Catastrophe posted:How helpful are the premium ships for earning credits in this game? It's 20% to 30% more Credits. So it's not really that much. You can buy 3k doubloons for less than the price of the Murmansk and get yourself a month of premium (+50% XP/Credits) on all Ships. And this might help you more to progress faster. if you really love the Omaha; the Murmansk is the same, just a bit better.

Defensive Fire is an unlimited "consumable". On some Cruisers you can choose between HydroSearch or Defensive Fire. Default: HydroSearch. I think it's 3.5km to find ships in smoke and 2.5km to detect torpedos. At least that information is available in the tooltip. And your Catapult Fighter will just do whatever it wants. Lazy rear end that he is.

You wouldn't fire torpedos: Hit 3 to fire them. Go back to Cannons with 1, and then be suprised to be firing HE instead of AP? Not that this ever happened to me. Nope, never. Not at all. No Sir.

James Garfield posted:For all the talk about cruisers beating battleships, it rarely happens that way in practice unless the battleship is playing especially badly. There's a reason Colorado is the only battleship past tier 5 not to outdamage every equal tier cruiser (and anyway the New Mexico at tier 6 outdamages every tier 7 cruiser). I think this is more due to different experiences. Dying from the fire of 3+ Cruisers is like dying to thousands of papercuts. From my own experiences a single Cruiser isn't a threat to a BB. Having to deal with multiple Cruisers isn't easy. And more like to sink the BB, unless the BB gets a couple of very good hits.

For me Cruisers tend to have higher average and higher peak damage games. Murmansk is at ~49.k average with a peak of 180k Only the Aoba and Cleveland have higher damage scores (my highest Cruisers). And the New Mexico/York aremy only BBs that come even close to the Murmansk. (Only T5  and T6  )

In regards to World of No-DDs: http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/ind...402#entry466402quote:Captains (and ladies), TheDemon posted:This is going to be the highest of heresies, but... Well it has 6-7 barrels to the front/sides, which ain't bad for T5. With the Level 4 skill you'll be sitting at more than 17km base range (~21 with spotter). The AA is not awesome but okay (use the +20% range upgrade). The guns also do have guite a punch with AP. Though the shells are quite slow. Thus the Phoenix feels a lot more precise. I can see why one might not like it. But it suits me perfectly. Tank Boy Ken fucked around with this message at 14:39 on Aug 17, 2015 |

Evernoob posted:As much as I agree with you with the Furutaka being a piece of scrapmetal, the guns may be slow firing and slow traversing, but they are not inaccurate. Those guns are also awesome to deal with DDs (with He of course). The Aoba has the same guns, just in better turrets. Best way to play Furutaka: Stick to a BB and shoot DDs, CAs and BBs. And plan your movement out ahead, the turret traverse is pure rear end.

Hazdoc posted:Don't trust the AA rating number. Look at the values listed under the guns inside the tab. You could have an AA set that does 1k dps, but if it only works within 2km, all its going to do is kill planes AFTER they make a run on you, not before. AA that fires from 3k will likely start shooting as the planes begin their run, and AA that shoots at 5K is the stuff that actually downs planes attacking you and allies. DD AA a very nice thing.

Invest one skill point in the "get spotted" skill (Situation Awareness). As soon as you're spotted: Change course every 20 seconds. Doesn't need to be much, but you'll be virtually immune against long range torpedo attacks. If you're not spotted = just sail lazily in straight lines.
