Republicanus posted:Is Gaijin going to put subs in their naval game? I haven't heard much about what they had planned to gently caress up Wargaming's pie. As far as I'm aware Gaijin can't make subs work either, so it's going to be a pretty straight contest between Gaijin's damage modeling system versus Wargaming's HP system. And also maybe how the different developers handle upgrades, considering that in WT upgrades are relatively minor improvements whereas in WoT/WoWP you can get things like a completely different engine or a new turret for your tank.

Teron D Amun posted:What is their match making in this game like, as non-existent as it is in WoT? According to the OP, quote:You can play in three man divisions which is similar to platoons in tanks. Matchmaker is currently not able to handle poo poo like this, case in point if you have a tier 9 ship and a tier 1 in your division then launch a match the MM will pick the lowest tier to set the bar. Congratulations your tier 9 will ship all over the other team and you can even poo poo on your own since teamkiling is not penalized right now.

Can we get a channel set up on Camping The Stairs or something for getting some "divisions" rolling?

I started firing AP instead of HE and holy poo poo even at tier 1 it makes a huge difference. Even if every shot doesn't deal as much damage the ones that do penetrate something important just absolutely wreck the enemy.

AfroSquirrel posted:I can't decide which is better: Torpedoes or pretending I'm a pirate firing broadsides from my St. Louis I don't have torpedoes yet but firing broadsides is both hella fun and profitable. I fully upgraded my St. Louis in one* match. Also, eat poo poo battleships:   Stock warships in this are just as viable as stock planes in War Thunder, it rocks. *the very first match in it was a miserable defeat where I got like 150 XP and I refuse to count it

Fart Car '97 posted:Does the game ever stop being just non loving stop smokescreens of invisible ships firing torpedoes out of them because every Tier 2/3 game has consisted of that, over and over. I've yet to run into that and I'm almost to tier 4.

I thought that I had seen all the St. Louis had to offer. Then I got the upgrades. My ship is made of guns. Battleships flee before me.

Sphrin posted:Holy poo poo after playing a few games I feel like a pubby, its going to take a while before I can completely wrap my head around all the different mechanics and how much situational awareness you need. It's way too easy to get tunnel vision and keep clicking away at enemy botes and run into a terrible situation. Gonna need lots of practice right clicking and taking a look around after every volley. A tactic I find that helps when you're just starting out is to stick to the edges of the map/near islands/etc where you only have to worry about what's going on to one side of your ship. e: actually, minimizing incoming fire is a pretty good idea in general, not just for new players

Chillyrabbit posted:does changing speed change your turning radius, As in going slower you can make tighter turns? Boats are weird and have more responsive controls at higher speeds. I don't know the best speed for making turns but generally I go into turns at full speed or 3/4 speed.

My favorite shots are the ones where your aim is off and 3/4 of the salvo misses, but then one or two shots go wide and hit dead on for full damage and crits.

Pubbies seem to forget the Phoenix has torps. It's so satisfying to blast a battleship and then just zip away when they try to get close.

zxqv8 posted:What I'm gleaning from this thread is that the game is suffering most of the same balance and progression and pubbie issues that World of Tanks did and still does? It's loads better than WoT even in this state. The main problem is balance, yes, but that's because it's early closed beta and there's only two (incomplete) tech trees in the game.

Dr. Arbitrary posted:Are there detailed instructions out there for the game, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to shoot torpedoes, mostly because when it's time to shoot, I'm pretty excited. when you press 3 to "select spread" it switches your primary fire button over to firing torpedoes. In short: press 3, left click, press 1 or 2 afterwards to re-select guns.
