Looks no different than Destroyers.gifv. Except you can actually see the planes coming and they're not just sitting 5km away from you completely invisible as they fire 20 torpedoes at you. Destroyers really making me dislike the game at the moment.

I really want to see more varied sinking animations. Would be nice to see some violent ones. Bits of the ship flying when you ammo rack someone, capsizing in seconds. Just very disappointing when you're having a slugfest with another ship that you lose you just see this puny little animation. I demand more weight behind sinking.

So apparently I pissed off a pubbie, not that its that hard. I thought he was bitching me out for my previous game which I reset the enemy cap on our base when it was at 80% but he was bitching me out for the one before that. I was going up the middle on Two Brothers and all they had left was a carrier and we had them 3 capped with about 900 points. Apparently he wanted me to completely stop and go nowhere near A because then he couldnt get his super sweet xp from spending the rest of the match hunting for their carrier he was never going to find before we ticked to 1000 points. Pubbies never change, they always would rather spend 10 minutes hunting a guy than winning ASAP and getting into another game where they can earn more xp.

Aesis posted:Probably because xp grind is brutally long so they think it's better to shoot for more xp than cap for faster game with less xp. No its just how they treat mp games in general. In their mind a guy who goes 1:1 k:d but wins the game for their team through completing objectives isnt as good as the guy with 0 objective points and a 3:1 k:d and lost the game. All they care about is kills. EDIT: Can I get a round thats not Two Brothers please? DurosKlav fucked around with this message at 22:25 on Jul 9, 2015 |

For some reason the premium ships just make people frothing rage machines. Had one CV bitching nonstop every 3 seconds about an enemy simms and how he's a wallet warrior and a terrible player. Like I'm not even exaggerating it was just nonstop spam for a couple minutes about being a wallet warrior. After I died I looked up his stats and proceeded to laugh. He was sitting at under 900 xp a game average on all his carriers. Then me and the rest of the game had an even bigger laugh when he couldnt figure out how I was able to look at his stats while playing the game, alt tabbing seemed to be a mystery to him.

The Colorado is doing a number on my sanity. Never have I had a ship whos shells miss so often. I'm Not even talking at max range its medium and shorter. Just had a game where I was fighting an Atlanta, at about 10-11km and all my shots were dead on for citadel hits and every single one of them went short or long. Talking about a good 16+ shells just missing, he wasnt even dodging much. Certainly wasnt the first drat time its happened either, its getting loving ridiculous, I've never had an issue with the battleship dispersion until this loving ship. I've been saving up free xp since I started playing and was hoping to save it for something else down the line but I'm going to have to use it to rush through the 2 colorado hulls to get out of this poo poo box faster.

Then I thought "NAH theres no way all these shots are going to miss, most of them are going to hit and I"m going to look like an idiot." All of them fell short and I'm kicking myself for not getting a screenshot.

Michaellaneous posted:I won duels against Colorados in close combat with my NM because Colorados are that bad an NMs are that amazing. Colorado is complete poo poo 95% of the time but god help you if you're on the receiving end during that 5% Had what I believe to be my highest single salvo with the Colorado, though not counting detonation. Did 38-39k with 2 or 3 citadels once and it was amazing. Then I had 4 games in a row with 95-115k total damage and I thought that I might have been overly hard on the Colorado. But then the rng kept kicking me in the balls and I knew I had been right all along. Right now I feel like the ship should be called the 1240 because you will fire a salvo and all but 1 will miss and the one that hits will do all of 1240 damage. Meanwhile Clevelands and Atlantas are hitting you at max range with salvo after salvo of HE and doing 3000 damage per to you. I miss the New Mexico so much. Only 60k to go till the North Carolina, so close yet so far away. Just Comparing my New Mexico and Colorado stats. The New Mexico stats are pretty much always better.  Accuracy being 4% higher in the Colorado can pretty much be summed up by the fact the New Mexico is throwing out 12 shells while the Colorado is only throwing 8. Yet even with the lesser accuracy the New Mexico is still out damaging the Colorado. DurosKlav fucked around with this message at 11:17 on Aug 3, 2015 |

I'm curious as to if the goon community is spread out in various in game chat channels. When you search Goons theres a number of different channels. I'm in the one started by Q_res but theres only ever a couple of people in it. Are a lot of people just not joining the channel? I'd go into the TS but I always feel weird just sitting in a channel when I'm not grouped with anyone. Right now theres only me and another person in the channel. This is on NA servers by the way.

I ran into my favorite pubbie while playing my Murmansk. CAPTAIN_SAIGON_18 Aka a terrible carrier player who cant even manage a 1000 xp average per battle in a loving carrier. Also loves complaining nonstop about premium ships, any time a premium does something he froths at the mouth. This time it was me avoiding all his dive bombers and torpedo planes with around 800 hp in a Murmansk because he cant aim for poo poo.

Krogort posted:For some reasons I had better accuracy in the Colorado than in the North Carolina. Yet I'm willing to bet your average damage is still higher on the North Carolina. My NC accuracy is lower than my Colorado but I honestly think it has more to do with the fact you can fire at much further ranges so you're probably not hitting as often due to the dispersion than poor accuracy. EDIT: grrarg posted:Eh I don't think hit ratio percentages tell you very much given battleship dispersion, and a high hit percentage in a cruiser probably means you are not shooting enough or getting too close. Average XP per game is probably the best way to judge competency. This pretty much. I have about 7% lower accuracy on the NC, but my average damage is sitting at nearly 60k compared to 41k on the Colorado. As well as my avg experience is about 200 higher as well on the NC. Also still getting used to the longer range. DurosKlav fucked around with this message at 09:22 on Aug 8, 2015 |

Just had a great in a New Mexico division with Groggynard and Bobatron. It ended up placing us in a match against 2 Iowas. We showed them though. We ended up teaming up to maul one of their Iowas and then I was in the process of mauling the other one when I got shelled from both sides by cruisers. Ended up citadeling the Iowas about 4 times with my New Mexico guns. We gave them a good mauling.

Michi88 posted:I almost always play hyper aggressive in my BB's, and 9 times out of 10 (if the team follows me) we stomp them into the ocean floor. Tanking shots with proper angling while myself and the team burn down the hp works wonders. Ya unfortunately thats the main issue with BBs. Other players are just too drat passive and get scared at the slightest sign of opposition. They will turn and run leaving you to bear the brunt of 3 ships firing on you. Its just so frustrating when you citadel down an enemy cruiser and your team is nowhere in range to burn them down the last bit, so the cruiser is able to run away while I reload. I've started grouping with goons though and its become a non issue. Although we can only carry so much.

Just had my best single damage salvo. Hit an Iowa with 3 citadels from from 1 North Carolina salvo. Ended up doing something around 50,000 damage, then I just finished him off with a 4th citadel. I REALLY need to remember to enable replays. Also should point out that I was driving directly at him so only my front guns fired on him, so that was 3 citadels out of 6 shells.

I admit the only other one I've played is the Cleveland but I just poo poo on other ships when I'm playing my New Mexico. I mean I've gone up against Iowas, admittedly with some help and even if they end up getting me, I mauled the gently caress out of them.

Sneaky Kettle posted:I'm four games into the New Mexico, and so far it's a pile of garbage compared to the New York. I've either been utterly decimated in every engagement I've gotten into, or I've been outrun by allies so much so that I don't get to do anything. I got less XP on my first win of the day than I do for most losses. I dont mean to come off as a dick, but if you're game name is Sneakykettle you should probably play more than 4 matches with a ship before you form an opinion on it. I cant say it enough but the New Mexico is one if not the best t6 ships. Just sounds like you started off on the wrong foot and now its clouded your perceptions of it. The range increase module and the rudder ones are great additions I suggest picking them up if you havent already. Other than that give it more time, pretty much all my top damage games have come from using the New Mexico. I'm fairly certain that by the time you finish leveling it you will come to love it.

And if you want to claim oh thats just short range everything is good short range here are some long range ones. I mistimed the screenshot on this one but it was 3 hits for 4k damage

Fault line is my least favorite, just so many drat islands that in a battleship everyone is just popping in and out of islands. You see a guy he pops behind an island before you fire, as he pops out of the island, you're going behind an island so still no shot. Second least favorite is Fields of Ice.

Sneaky Kettle posted:New Mexico words Are you stagger firing, or are you firing a salvo? I always salvo and my shells land pretty much in a nice pattern. Clevelands are easy to get high damage on even if you dont citadel them. I'm trying to get a nice screenshot of how to aim at them but my team isnt cooperating and are blowing away the enemy clevelands before I can. This is the best I can get atm.  It lagged up a bit when I took it and the mountain fucks up the flight time, but it should be around 6-8 seconds for shell. My team blew him up as my shells were coming in so I couldnt get an after shot. The only other thing I can think of is you're trying too hard to do everything at absolute max possible range so your shells experience even more dispersion. Another example, this one is an Aoba but premise still stands   Was a little quick on the screenshot button but you can see the citadel indication. Was like 2 Citadels and a devastating strike. Dispersion got me on this one but it still works.   Final example, 30 seconds after the last one. As well as it was only my first 2 turrets.   Stats for the game I took all but the first example.   Honestly I hope this helps a lot of people in the mid tier grind. Its not a perfect aiming solution for every ship since everyone has different flight times but for those of you in New Mexicos it should help a lot.
