So I just started playing this today, haven't really touched Wargaming games in ages; used to be really into WoT. This game strikes me as a slower, more methodical WoT. And I'm fine with that. Been giving the IJN Destroyers a try. Finally had a game where I topped the board.  Man, when things work out destroyers are fun as poo poo. Anyone got any advice?

Tank Boy Ken posted:Another option would be to reduce fire damage linear with the % of max health left. With a minimum of 20% or so. Thus if your at low health a fire has more problems to kill you. You mean like dealing a % of remaining health in damage?

Gort posted:Yeah, but he's only talking about fire damage, not HE damage. ...Right. That's what he was saying, right? Fires doing progressively less damage as you get damaged, something like a percentage of remaining health. I'm getting confused. Did I miss something or ask my question in a strange way?

I've finally fully-upgraded my New York, and I feel like I have a BB that can somewhat reliably citadel cruisers. Is there a set of guides or resources that tell you where to shoot ships? Coming from Tanks, it's really weird not knowing where to shoot/aim.

Tank Boy Ken posted:As in War Thunder (any game): Play what is fun to you. Having T10 ships which you don't enjoy is pointless. F2P games offer progression. That doesn't mean that you have to progress. This, seriously. I spent like 400 games in my Sherman and Churchill back in the day in tanks, both tier five. I learned how to play, had a ton of fun, and made a lot of silver. Only after a long time did I start going up to tier six and beyond, and even then there was a purpose: clan wars.

Warbadger posted:Prior to the succession of major nerfs artillery was similarly over-performing. It remains a terrible game mechanic that somehow manages to be unfun for both the person playing it and playing against it. I played before those nerfs, and arty wasn't particularly absurd except when a map featured a chokepoint where both sides had to sit and wait. Xae posted:People bitch about high reward, low risk gameplay. There's a lot of that in this game, and that's the current meta.

NTRabbit posted:Are you completely unfamiliar with torp spreads or what? Manual drop, stack the torpedoes on top of each other, and the spread between each torpedo is so wide that vessels with short hulls, ie all of the standard battleships, the Langley, the Bogue are so short that they can sit still and have the 1st and 4th torpedoes miss them by default, and only the 2nd and 3rd torpedo can hit, provided you line it up right. Make the ship move just a little, and it's ridiculously easy for torpedo 2 or 3 to slide right by, because the distance is too huge. It's a lot easier to hit with 4 torps from a US carrier drop, but then you only have the one squadron to do it with, so it evens out. Pretty much exactly this. My Bogue is such a huge difference from my Langley it hurts.

Is there a formula for determining the rough angle your shells will be landing at as a function of distance and maximum range?

You won't make any friends, but Isn't that actually what you should get if you have an average skill? If you're AFK, you've created something more akin to a 11 v 12, actively handicapping your team.
