Insert name here posted:Anyone have an Ishizuchi? I was curious how it is. I don't really care about its money making ability or whatever but it's relatively cheap and was wondering if it's worth picking up for fun times. It's pretty fun. Speedy and decent guns, it's my go-to tier 4 premium. Admittedly thats not saying much, but still I like it. Also holy gently caress I had someone leave cap with literally 5 seconds left in the match, turning a cap win into a draw. I really wish there was a post-game chat because I didn't get to call him a loving idiot.

OSad posted:How the hell do people manage less than a 50% winrate at this game? It's way brain-deader than WoT. To be fair, there are a lot more ties in this game than in World of Tanks. Last I checked I was sitting at around 4% tie where I was around 1% in WoT, so assuming that's average the average player would be 48/48/4 w/l/t. Basically what I'm saying is he's still bad but gently caress ties forever. ranbo das fucked around with this message at 18:27 on Aug 4, 2015 |

Gapey Joe Stalin posted:No, see, that's the problem. I seem to spend half the game chasing to close with targets but unable to fire because of range. Then when I make range I can't close to brawling distance because every oval office and his uncle can simply outrun me. Or I've taken so much damage from longer range weapons that I'm a third dead and burning stem to stern. Pretty much everyone lemmings to the same 1-2 points every game of botes in every map. Just sail to those points and murder everything. Also gently caress you have like an 18km range with your plane how are you getting outranged. You should post a replay because I'm actually mystified how you're managing to get bad games in a ship that's this powerful.

God I like the Cleveland, but that thing is a loss magnet. I'm sitting at around a 25% win rate with it. Admittedly it's been a dozen games or so, but still, where are my free wins I was promised

The Wyoming is decent once you get it kitted out and have a couple of games under your belt. The New York is good bordering on great, the New Mexico is amazing, we don't talk about the colorado, the North carolina is great with the Iowa/Montana apparently being borderline OP

I got into a game as a Ryujo where they had a t8 enemy CV, three tier 8+ BBs and a bunch of t6+ cruisers, so i did the only honourable thing I could and scuttled myself and let me tell you, boy did that piss people off.

5 losses in a row, 4 of them 1000+ base xp. Just give me a decent team so i can get my win of the day and stop playing the loving colorado. Seriously this is when the game is the shittiest. I "only" had two hours to play and I just wanted one win in a ship and I couldn't even do that. ranbo das fucked around with this message at 15:53 on Aug 15, 2015 |

JacksLibido posted:You could... they also said in the main post that the dude wont be checking all that closesly and might even give out the ship to people who don't get all the letters. Also you can get them in bot games so sharing screenshots and risking getting caught is stupid because bots are retarded. It took me like an hour in a Hosho to get all the letters.

First match in a while, get intentionally tk'd from almost full health by a friendly DD and we l;ose because our cleveland decides to 1v1 their full health amagi at like 5k at 950/1000 points. Good to see the game hasn't changed.

Reztes posted:Am I just incredibly unlucky or do Cleveland's guns just love blowing up all the drat time? In the past few days, in around 50% of my Cleveland games, I've lost two batteries from single salvos. Not damaged two batteries, outright destroyed them instantly. Can't decide if it's worse when it happens to both fore/aft guns or when I've had one of each pegged, but either way drat losing half my firepower to these crits is infuriating. I even took the main battery durability mod, although it would be pretty :wargaming: if it turns out that mod is bugged to increase the chance of incapacitation or something instead. I find the Cleveland is second only to the Atlanta in losing guns. BB AP in particular loves to knock them out.

They could make something really cool with the Tone if they make her an aviation cruiser instead of a regular cruiser. I mean I assume she'll just be a regular cruiser, but I can dream.

So anyone who has played it, how is the Tirpitz? I tend to think of them as free XP because there are a lot of bad BB players who jumped up to T8, but apparently in the hands of a competent player it wrecks shop.

Dont launch torps where it would be possible for them to hit allies. Maybe he needed to turn back to dodge enemy torps and you cut off his escape, I've had that happen. Basically, if your torps hit a friendly you're at fault period.

It doesn't matter whether the Yamato was a super battleship or helpless, it was outdated simply because why use a battleship when a carrier was a better choice. Japan basically spent years and years developing this super sword to fight with but that didn't matter because in the meantime the US was building guns.

I just got dumpstered by another ranger who was running 1/1/1 (I ran 2/0/1). His torp bombers just obliterated my fighters, to the point where he would destroy an entire squadron and lose 2 bombers. This game is really weird sometimes.

The Salem Witch thing makes you realize how closer their 5 and 10 are in boats than in tanks. Imagine a tier 10 tank in WoT being in a tier 5 match.

Apparently it's a bug and they're looking into it. Basically from wht I've heard armor is hosed so BB shells pretty much always overpen cruisers for 10% damage while cruiser AP can cut through BB armor.

Lord Koth posted:In some ways I'd prefer Kitakami to be a reward ship rather than ever regularly available. At least with those who managed to get up to Rank 1 there's a decent chance they're competent, and with a ship that can be as finicky and teamkilly as Kitakami is I'm a bit twitchy as to letting everyone with some cash to blow just buy it. Already plenty of idiots moronically launching torpedoes that endanger allied ships more than the enemy, and allowing them access to a ship that launches literal walls of them is alarming. There are already at least two people I've seen who are using the fact you cant lose credits with the KTKM to intentionally TK as many people as possible.
