I signed up for this game at PAX and they said they were gonna send me a beta key. Looks pretty fun, although I'm already sad that there's a ship I won't be able to get since I missed the alpha.

Just had two games in a row where i got killed by a teammate. One game my ally decided to use me as cover and shoot from behind me (read: right into my side). Then I got torped by a destroyer. Why are other people so bad.

My favorite thing is when the enemy carrier decides to torp my tier 5 carrier. The amount of AA it packs compared to every other ship that size is pretty crazy. I had some guy do that with two unescorted flights of torp bombers yesterday, between my single fighter and AA I think a grand total of one plane lived long enough to launch torps.

Man the difference between tier 5 and tier 6+ AA is insane. I went for a torp run on a BB with one cruiser protecting it. I think one of the twelve torp planes made it out alive.

Games can go from broken unfun pieces of poo poo to actually really fun in a year. It's a lot of time to make changes to a game. If you're really not having fun, you might want to just quit and come back when the game is finished rather than burn out on whats there right now.

I just had a guy drive his cruiser into the side of my battleship, die, then proceed to complain about how I rammed him for the rest of the match.

Dalael posted:I wonder how much of a speed bonus tho. The other day I sent my fighters to try and catch up to some torpedo bombers that had just dropped their load. Even though my fighters were relatively close, it took them more than lf the map to actually catch up and start shooting. I fear that if they increase the speed too much after the torpedoes are dropped, fighters may be unable to catch the torpedo bombers in a reasonable amount of time. I'd actually be fine if unladen bombers were faster than fighters. Gotta intercept them before they drop or they get away. Also could provide some interesting choices in "do i drop my load now and get away or get closer and drop my load but get caught by fighters".

Why are people so obsessed with the Admiral Graf Spee and the Prinz Eugen? Like, I can understand the Japanese ships and the Bismark, but I had never even heard of the other two until I started playing this game and they seem to pop up everywhere. Seems like the Spee spent most of its time shooting unarmed ships and running away before she got in a real fight and got scuttled, and the Eugen escorted the Bismark for a bit before becoming a support vessel. It doesn't seem like either of them have illustrious histories or super-ships (Bismark and Yamato, while ineffective, are cool just for their firepower). Is it just people who are way into Nazi Germany or are they special to germans a la the Arizona?

CVs have always been stupid good at lower tiers and fallen off drastically at higher tiers when people get effective AA, not sure why people are so surprised.

The Locator posted:Nothing really that I can see. In the 2nd video you might have done better to turn into the planes after eating the first torpedo run instead of away, but if a carrier is going to devote 3 TB groups to you, and manual drop, you are absolutely going to get hit unless he's bad or you get really lucky. When they stagger the drops like that 2nd video, they are trying to get you to burn your repair immediately (like you did) and then cause flooding with the next drops (you got lucky). Just seconding the "turn into the torps" advice. If you had turned into the first torp drop instead of away it looks like it would have hit you before it armed. I prefer turning in personally because I noticed CVs like to get greedy and try to drop torps as close as possible. The first vid you played pretty much perfectly, and if I was the CV pilot in question I wouldn't say either of those were successful runs on you.

BIG HEADLINE posted:So they're selling the Warspite for $31.06 in the Premium store. The Warspite costs 6500g, an amount of sea gold you can currently buy for $29.79. So evidently the extra port slot is worth $1.27. Well going by the $29.79/6500 gold number and assuming one slot is not on sale (i.e. 300 gold) then an extra port slot is valued at $1.37. So uh, I guess you save $0.10?

DiomedesGodshill posted:Are carriers fun to play? I keep reading that the US carriers are awful and IJN is the way to go. That's basically how it is. If either dive bombers were useful or the fighter loadouts came with a torp bomber US carriers would be useful, but as it stands they're either inferior to jap carriers with their bomber loadout or totally useless agasint non-carriers with their fighter loadout.

It also helps the higher tier you are and the more guns you have. I'm in the New York and loving it, but it's been a struggle up to that point. Also I swear whatever the Tier 4 IJN BB is is actually worse than the T3 when it comes to accuracy.

cock hero flux posted:So what I've learned in this game so far is that ramming a Battleship with a Cruiser kills both of you, Battleships are too slow to avoid being rammed by Cruisers, and Battleships can't kill Cruisers in the time it takes them to get rammed unless they get really lucky. It does a certain amount of damage to each player based on what ship class is ramming/being rammed. A full health BB shouldn't die to a cruiser ramming it, and it wont even really notice a DD ramming it. On the other hand, if you're at like 25% health and a cruiser rams you you're toast. Also the cruiser should be dead long before he gets into ramming range. Worst case scenario just run away from him, buy some time for your secondaries and rear turrets to do work on him.

Ratzap posted:I manged to wade through the Langley and bought the Bogue then used free exp to unlock modules. I went with the 2 fighters and 1 dive bomber since I have a captain with the first 2 fighter perks. Dive bombing doesn't seem to do much damage but my fighters are pretty good at getting rid of the opposition. I've had clear skies 3 times in a row now and getting the hang of manual bombing (I missed one tenryu because quite shockingly he simply didn't move). I did the same and you get some pretty great games out of it, like this. Yeah it was a loss, but his raging in chat made it worth it.  Then again I also had a langley 1v1 my fighter squad and totally destroy it with 0 loss to his fighters this last game. I'm still not sure how that happened. I have them fully upgraded, didnt manage to take down a single plane. ranbo das fucked around with this message at 23:26 on Jul 10, 2015 |

Aramoro posted:Open Beta is a glorious time for Torpedoes it seems, I've found loads of people just hiding stationary behind islands eating full waves of torps. This pretty much never happened in CBT and I hope it continues. There are always a couple people each game who decide to just stop moving while firing, sometimes just not even behind an island but out in the open. I always go out of my way to give them the gift of torpedoes when I'm playing a destroyer. Sometimes even when they're on my team too.

Galaga Galaxian posted:Hey, it was Germany's Lucky Ship. It managed to survive the whole war (despite a decent career as commerce raider), became USS Prinz Eugen, and ended its life in the most metal way possible, being blown the gently caress up by an underwater nuclear bomb and mostly surviving, but being too radioactive to repair and thus sunk from a minor leak. If its I read that as the Nazis thought it was lucky, it shot a lot of unarmed ships and then was used for target practice.

Only carrier in the game as an independence, this will be easy points, right? Well apparently it takes about 7 or so seconds for a pensacola to melt all of your planes. So I launched my second squad and did a run on a colorado who was totally unsupported. Two bombers survived long enough to drop before they died meaning now I'm totally useless. gently caress US carriers.

Looks like we get the Albany (T2 US cruiser) and a free port slot for WG's anniversary. Code to redeem it is (you guessed it) ALBANY. Really it's more like 375k silver and a post slot though because it's a terrible ship.

I'm assuming you had one that said 2 hours, one that said 26 and one that said 50. That's just basically saying if you wait 50 hours there will be a new mission in that slot.
