rex rabidorum vires posted:Lol can't spot a DD in smoke from literally 1.5 KM away. Yea can see that getting old fast. If your ship has torps, This would be a great time to blind fire a wide spread, you know roughly where the DD is, and it won't see the torps till its too late in the smoke

Artless Meat posted:I think the AA stats are bugged or something. During Alpha, my Mogami seemed to shoot down planes just as good as Clevelands, and Fuso's seem to shoot down way more planes than they should. Yeah I think so too. My Mogami used to make short work of planes anywhere near it, However in CBT it can only get a single plane kill if the squad just hovers around long enough

For the lower tier ships, not really, since your not very fast to begin with, But as you start to get into tier 5-6, you may find yourself having to throttle down so you don't go alone and die from your speed, Unless your a destroyer of cause

Being mostly a DD player so far, and liking the US DD's over the japs, Battleship secondaries do hurt, alot, when they hit. I have had situations where I have been utterly destroyed in seconds because of some lucky secondary hits. Hell even CV secondaries are no laughing manner.

Prav posted:DDs really ought to have the current gunnery of US destroyers and the torpedo range and detectability of Japanese destroyers as the baseline. Then give to US boats better guns and Japanese better torpedoes. This is kinda why I like US DD's, The guns can do something, it murders other DD's, and if you ignore it, those lucky few 1k+ crit damage really mounts up when the guns fire every 3-4 seconds

The jump from 'heavy destroyers' to heavy cruisers in the IJN cruiser line is a little daunting at first, Your now the size of some battleships, you have a lot of meaty guns, and torps that will only fire as your facing away from your target ^Tier 3 cruisers are normally ww1 ships, when the thought that planes could threaten a warship was laughable, Your not going to get any proper AA till around Tier 5

The last 10-20 rounds they've just materialized a hundred yards from my ship. It could be lag issues between you and them, or if they are torp bombers, the guy is manual torping you

Murdering other DD's with your OP guns and than plunking away at battleships that are distracted...with your guns, You just kinda end up using us torps as area of denial weapons thanks to their short range and longish reload

santanotreal posted:The balance system currently overvalues carriers too, which just makes them even worse. I've had games where we got 1 carrier and the other team got 0 carriers, so in return they gave them two extra cruisers and the stronger battleships. Needless to say we lost horribly. There is also the problem that carriers are the only warship in the game where a single tier difference makes them a liability, If you got two same tiered carriers on one team, and one carrier on the other that is one tier higher, that one carrier will win other the other two, If it has the air superiority mod, than the other carriers may just as well never launch aircraft and drive up to the nearest enemy ship

For smoke you should be turning away or into your own smoke trail, as it does not fully conceal you as your DD deploys it, also if the smoke is thick enough, you can sit still in it and go all guns fireing and not be detected even at 1km out of the nearest enemy ship

I keep it at the stock hull because forget having shorter range torpedoes and lose a turret.

It might override something but won't delete anything so all you have to do is go back and delete the file from res_mods/0.3.0 folder. I will dick with them now and install them all individually to see if I can find it on my own. I almost off of them, I have uninstalled them now, but it was the Contour mod, Eye of Saroun and the colour blind mod that I did not download for one reason or another

If they linger around their drop of point, no. They are stuck there, and they will also will be dropping them too late and not how you wanted them to drop their torps

I think the only real difference we will see from WWII era German ships in game was their design to be 'unsinkable by flooding'. which could lead to less torp damage or less flooding damage/chance

Zhanism posted:How far up the US destroyer line is it worth to go? The Farragut does not seem like much of an upgrade on paper. If you had to pick which line to get to tier 10, the US line would be it, at that point the difference in torps is small, and the IJN still keeps their bad gun performance where US DDs fast firing guns just get better

Burt posted:I actually find it pretty relaxing to play, which is a first for a game for me. You can log on, get in your Fuso and sit at the edge of the map shelling fools whilst getting called a n00b camper by the idiots on your team. Pretty much win-win. Yeah they are right, even in the bigger battleships you want to get at 13-10km so your shells have a flat arc, more chances for hits and pens that way

Dalael posted:On another note, The Saipan is being removed and they are putting the independance in its place instead. I don't remember the Saipan much, but I don't think it was a bad carrier, was it? They added the Bogue to fill the spot of the independance.. I have literally never heard of that carrier before and I am too tired to use my google-fu. Does anyone have any info regarding this ship? The Bogue is simply a Langly, expect the Bogue was not a converted cargo ship. This is mostly back in the days of navy field where the bogue was the introduction US carrier. Its another super light carrier, I think one got mistaken by a Japanese fleet as one of the fleet carriers, so they punched it with AP shells

ZombieLenin posted:So armor models are pretty terrible then? Plunging fire in big gun ships was almost always (not always) more likely to score penetrations than flat hits against belt armor. Wow that was so long ago. But I think it is a hidden part of balance to atleast give smaller ships a chance to fight back without getting reliably full broadsided beyond their engagement range
