I'm enjoying the gently caress out of this playing battleships, although getting wrecked of torpedo salvo's is brutal.

First game with my tier 3 DD

full speed lateral movement vs a BB 7k away. I launch my torps and he fires his first volley.

All of his shots hit and I ded in 1 volley. 1st shot of the game
.

I had a game earlier in my kongo and ended up one shot killing a dd with AP. I've found if i can land an AP shell into the deck of a dd it usually oneshots them, I could be wrong and could be playing bb's completely wrong.

So, this just happened. A full game consisting of mostly Fuso's and other battleships.

Hey guys we managed to break the game! We were in a division consisting of two Clevelands and an Amagi. Sitting in the queue the five minute mark passed with nothing so I exited the queue and nothing happened but the spinning activity logo. Thinking I bugged the game I closed the client, launched and got back in game without issues except my Cleveland in port showed I was in battle. Chat worked so we thought it really went into a match and we had to wait it out. I thought we could launch a game meanwhile but nope, I could select another ship but it would not launch. I tried creating a new division but nope so I asked someone that was in game to send me an invite.. no joy. I logged back out, tried again and nothing. After taking screens and posting it in the bug thread a full hour later the game is still bugged out.

I manged to get one of the devs in TS via a connection I have and he went to the extent of removing my Cleveland altogether from my account and I can still not launch a loving game. We are going to wait until the server reset at 5AM PDT and cross fingers it fixes itself else who knows.

Smug as gently caress right now.

What the heck are you doing using the beta test to actually test things?

We were just trying to poo poo on pubbies using the cleveland steamers and the amagi. Going to be real lovely if this bug still persists through the server restart.

First game of the day and game breaking bug. Progress.

I'm never going to doubt the aoba again. Even if it is a piece of poo poo. Managed to land 2 torps into a fuso for 46k.

^^^ The Aoba is an amazing god drat ship, you take that back. Less guns, sure. But the guns it has delivers. It kind of reminds me of the us versus german issue in war thunder planes. The americans just loaded more 50cal brownings which might be effective-ish. But when your counterparts are throwing 2x-4x 20mm cannons, there is a noticeable disparity in power. Those torps are amazing at doing nothing but force engagements to your benefit. As they dodge, they are less focused on the shooting. Or if they are still focused, you are getting cleaner shots. Or in the case of my last game, be so focused on admiring your torp run in a DD to run right into your quad torps.


God drat is domination bad. These pubbies are terrible. They all rush for the land grab and completely don't realize that is pretty much never the reason for their losses. Deaths cost you waaay more than owning all 3 circles.

Really though, that game mode seriously accents the people that know how to shoot and the ones that don't. Those that will can deliver a win while those that don't will deliver a loss readily. Man do these players need go hide back in co-op mode.

I've been having some really great games in my ebola. Had one game where an enemy dd appears 0.5km away from me, we both drop torps, fun times. It's great for making GBS threads at bb's ive found aswell

Had a pretty decent game in my Myoko earlier. 500k creds and 7k xp, Then the game or two after some cheap destroyer tried hitching a ride on the back of my Myoko.

Kitakami's pre 10km is like playing a very hostile game of dodgeball. Anything past 10~12km and they usually die in one volly since they cant reach you.

I got my New Mexico and jesus christ that ship is hilarious with those 4 tripple stacks with what seems like laser guided shells. 100 to 0'ing nerds is never not hilarious.

Other than the game i had earlier when matchmaking poo poo itself and put my stock rear end into a game with a T9 IJN carrier while we had none. Getting mauled by what seems like endless torp/dive bomber waves doesn't sound as fun as you think.

I survived a whole wave of 3-4 torp bobmers and 2 dive bombers. the second wave got me though. The amount of torps was unreal

If you're playing US Battleships, I suggest saving as much free xp as possible to upgrade the Colorado asap.
This ship is rubbish enough fully upgraded but stock with no anti air it must be pure hell.

IIRC, all battleships have had their accelleration and braking somewhat slowed down in 0.4.

In other news: Another day on the EU forums. Can't decide wether :magical: or :ughh: is more appropriate.
