Calling dibs on FOG_BUTT_TORPEDO Kinda surprised on how fun this game can be. I haven't play WoT in ages (basically since War Thunder Ground Forces), but WoW somehow manages to get a bunch of things right.

So how do you actually buy a ship if the store page doesn't exist?

I didn't think I'd enjoy Battleships as much as I do. There's nothing quite like having all 6 guns broadside another Battleship into oblivion from full HP. I just don't have the patience for Destroyer play. The St. Louis is also quite hilarious for its tier. The amount of shells you can place down range is amazing.

NTRabbit posted:The Omaha and Cleveland aren't as powerful within their respective tiers, but they follow the same formula of vomit shells, take names, give no fucks. The Phoenix seems pretty good too. The gun angles seem very nice as well. I've seen people able to keep a lot of guns on target by doing a small serpentine.

Regarde Aduck posted:Do you mean those guys who can seemingly drop torpedoes about 20 feet away? Because I have no idea how i'm supposed to handle those guys. It's like if they want someone dead they're gonna die and you just have to hope it's not you. Seems like the solution would be simple to fix this. Increase the min arming time/range so that the have to drop with a decent bit of lead time.

Is there a key that lets you fire all your currently facing guns at the same time? I've watched some streamers do this consistently.

demonR6 posted:Work your way to the St. Louis then fully upgrade and never sell it. Skill the commander once you get one until he has his PhD in something something and enjoy raining hell on people. You only need to worry about higher tier BB's that can range you but if you just float around looking for more edible targets you can kill it is very satisfying. Pretty much this. Never stop firing 8 cannons, ever.

Ratzap posted:I'm finally starting to get the hang of the Tenryu, I still can't play a destroyer to save myself though. I got stuck on an island once in this game but I'm getting a grip on the speed of the thing, when to use the guns and when to close in for torps. The concept that really solidified DD play for me was the magic 6-7 Km window you have for not being detected (some ships you can get to within 5). If you're that close and know how to lead/anticipate what your target is going to do if you're detected you'll start really getting those torp runs in.

I don't understand how some of you are having hard times with your BBs. Yes they are slow, but the payoff is huge when you one shot broadside someone for >58k damage. Each ship has it's own unique firing pattern, learn how to play into it and you'll do good. Don't auto dump your entire load either. Fire off one gun to see what your lead time should be, and then bukkake them

Some of you have either really bad luck or are grossly exaggerating. Yes at max range the spread requires some sacrifices to RNGesus. 800m? I don't think I've seen any really miss unless it was a DD and I grossly underestimated their lateral speed. Long range sniping fests in BBs are are trap none the less.

NTRabbit posted:Ships sailing parallel to me, speed judged perfectly, shells splashing into the water or directly over the top of the masts that otherwise should or would have crashed into the middle of the hull. I'm not sure I even know what game you're playing if you think battleships are at all accurate or capable of consistent damage at any range. This hasn't been my experience at all at anything around 5K or closer.

SilverMike posted:Which ships/captain skills/upgrades have you been using? I'd really like to know when I can expect your experience with BBs! Have up to the New Mexico BB right now, Captains are down into Tier 4 upgrades, off the top of my head I can't remember which options I chose for them. Ships are all fully upgraded. I tend to cut speed when firing broadside, or even long range. Perhaps that's factoring in? I also tend to fire one ranging shot followed by all the rest at once.

NTRabbit posted:Ranging shot makes no difference to spread and the randomness of damage That's not what I range the shot for.. Hazdoc posted:I don't think anyone thought that was the point of ranging shots. This. I'm almost positive there is a difference in shot spread between firing one by one and all at once with a favour going to all out once. My own experience has been better shot grouping in general.

Starting out on the CV line right now is going to be a lovely experience. I wish I had hopped on that bandwagon a bit sooner. I do have some really nicely upgrade DDs, BBs and CVs though.

rossmum posted:I panicked a pubbie Pensacola so badly from my first (citadel-crushing) AP salvo last match that he proceeded to beach himself, allowing me to citadel him a second time and then nearly finish him before he finally got into cover. STOP MAKING ME WANT TO THROW MONEY AT THIS GAME! Seriously though, I spent enough on tanks as it is  I am really happy with the Warspite so if the Atago is a solid CV I might have to persuade myself to get it.

NuckmasterJ posted:Now all we need is Warthunderships so I can never log into my Wargaming account again. I feel so dirty just being this close to WoT Yeah I haven't logged into WoT since WT-Tanks became a thing. Well, I'm lying. I logged in a few weeks ago "played" a round or two and logged out in disgust. Would rather play WT-Tanks in arcade mode. That being said, I'm surprised how much fun WoS is and WT-Ships would own because you know they'd actually add in submarines

Fresh Shesh Besh posted:I keep getting my poo poo absolutely wrecked by torpedo planes, they just drop 'em so drat close. This is why a lot of us would like to see a 1 to 1.5 KM arming distance for plane dropped torps (or even all torps). I've had someone drop torps in all cardinal directions to my ship in about 4 seconds. There's nothing that I could do to avoid getting instagibbed

Wade Wilson posted:Stupid question: Should the St. Louis fire AP all the time? There's no proper answer here. AP and HE both accomplish things (dead ships) differently and in different situations. Things like what ship you're shooting at, its distance and direction it's facing, etc. Play around and see how each shell type performs. It's not too difficult to master.

That streamer was playing BBs like every other bad pub. Staying at long/max range and then wondering why their salvos weren't connecting with more than 1 or 2 shells. If you're in a BB you need to get into the thick of things. Even beardy dude mcstream did that at the beginning of the stream when he smoked that Myogi.

Wade Wilson posted:I'm just getting a little weary of pubbies abandoning me as soon as the enemies are spotted (and enemy teams dogpiling on me as soon as I'm spotted; last match I played yesterday had 3 destroyers, 2 cruisers and another battleship firing on me at the same time while the cruisers and destroyers that were following me bugged the gently caress out and ran back to the other side of the map without firing a single shot at the enemy). Here's a tip, when you're heading in a direction with said pubbies expect that they will all short turn and you should follow suit .I'll usually head in a direction and when I engage the enemy I start turning away but keep my guns trained on them. Usually end up doing figure 8s for the first couple of minutes in a match to see where the enemy is heading and what team pub does.
