I'm terrible at this game. So far I'm sailing the Ruskie destroyer Gremyashchy, it has good torps but it's guns are terrible, turn rate is akin to that of a battleship and can't keep up with the ship turn rate (36sec). So it's pretty much torp Only but I often get murdered by cruisers like the Clevland before I have a chance to get close enough. I also played a bit with IJN Battleships, so far I've got a Myogi and I don't like it much. Bombers and torp bombers are very annoying and I can't do much against them, destroyer are almost impossible to hit with the big guns and the secondaries don't hit much. Worst of all, I do poo poo damage against other BB and CL, most hits are 500ish damage even if I randomly get nice 3000 critical hits.

Found this on a forum, figured it could interest some of you. Supposed to be win ratio per tier per ship type.  Red - IJN DDs Orange - US DDs Green - IJN CAs Yellow - US CAs Blue - IJN BBs Purple - US CVs More russian stats there : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mB6j7Fl_fmw Krogort fucked around with this message at 23:29 on May 4, 2015 |

With the 130mm from the Gremyashchiy, are you better of shoting AP or HE at destroyers ? I finaly unlocked the turret turn speed upgrade and captain turn speed skill and can actualy use the guns now. It seems I can get some nice hits on big ships with AP but on destroyers I deal ridiculous damages.

Since I've unlocked the Clevland, twice I've been matched with tier VIII and IX ships. Those games were terrible, everybody was sitting as far away from the frontline and trying to shoot eachother. Even the destroyers were just running circle and spamming torpedoes at 15km. Is it always like this ?

Why would they sell premium ships that would be a specific hull from a ship class already present in the regular ship tree ? How would they differentiate it gameplay wise ? there wouldn't be much differences in primary weapons or ship stats. Concerning anti air. When is it worthwile to pick the anti air range upgrade ? I've got it on my Cleveland but don't notice much difference in effectiveness against aircraft, my captain is quite low level though so I don't have the active ability upgrade yet.

My best ever game, in a DD none the less. I am terrible at aiming torps (or the ennemy is good at avoiding them) and could have gotten another BB if I was somehow competent. Still managed to gun down a damaged Cleveland and Adoba in a 2v1 match, my proudest moment. I quite like the Gremyashchiy with both turret turn speed upgrades, Torpedoes are good enough,the hull still out-turn the guns but it's easy enough to land good hits and the guns have a good balance of firepower and reload speed allowing you to run evasive maneuvers without missing too many chances to fire.  Now that my Soviet captain has unlocked tier 3 skills, I need to choose between the Smoke boost or the Detection alert. Any experienced DD captain has an opinion on those ? I think for a beginer the detection alert might be the better choice to get a feel of how the detection work in this game. Krogort fucked around with this message at 09:23 on May 9, 2015 |

What is the deal with the St Louis armor ? this thing can soak up damage better than a Cleveland or Pensacola. Twice now I have been brawling one in my Kongo, the later at point blank range and it just didn't want to die, I had to shell it with like 8 full volley before sinking it.

Crash74 posted:I picked up a alanta finally. It says it has dual purpose guns, how do you activate the main guns for aa or is it simulated? If so that kind of sucks. I've read somewhere that it's simulated. You lose the bofors for just 2 AA more turret than the Cleveland so it's not that great an AA platform.

Red - IJN DDs Orange - US DDs Green - IJN CAs Yellow - US CAs Blue - IJN BBs Purple - US CVs There is also this but I don't know what to make of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mB6j7Fl_fmw Field report from the Atlanta: there seem to be little this ship can do that a Cleveland can't do better, and for free and 1 tier lower. Paper turret, terrible range, average dps, cardboard armor, cosmetic torpedoes, turn like a brick. It seems to be only good at shooting DDs but if there are none on the ennemy team or you end up on the open ocean map you will suffer. Might become good enough once you can fire at torpedoes.

US DD seems actualy pretty consistant across tier and have a decent win rate. They might even be the most balanced class. There are probably too few people using the high tier BB and CV to get relevant stats. edit: or old chart yea

What worries me is that all your bombers reached the cruiser without a single loss... It seems AA guns make for pretty fireworks but are terrible, I didn't get beyound the Fuso and Cleveland though, but the Cleveland pack a lot of AA yet hardly kill any planes.

What are those turrets ? There is something that I don't understand with anti air in this game. I just unlocked and upgraded the Pensacola (mix of double and triple min turrets hurt my OCD btw) and on paper it seems to have much worse anti air than the Cleveland, yet I just murdered 2 squad of bombers flying over my head during the last game. The Cleveland has 6 dual 127mm turret, the same ammount of bofors and a kinda similar ammount of 20mm, yet seems much less effective at clearing the sky. And I don't even have the AA range upgrade on the Pensacola...

grrarg posted:I think the turning changes actually make it easier to dodge torpedoes now, if you know they are coming. But yeah, it is a great time to play destroyers with most people playing the slowass US battleships. Yea it feel like everyone is able to easily dodge my torp these days. Gotta aim for busy target too focused on their gunfire. They should balance chances of setting a fire with caliber and rate of fire, it seems ridiculous on some of the US Cruisers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6iDIduEY1w

Low speed and small turn radius make it easy to dodge shells at long range too. With the weird shell trajectory and the small turn radius of ships that looks like they're drifting, I find it really hard to hit stuff at long range with my Fuso.

Because you can drop tons of ordnance for cheap with a good loitering time. Some french navy frigates and destroyer shelled the coast with their tiny canon durint the recent Libya war. Tiny as in dual 76mm and single 100mm.
