Not surprised at the amount of people who are still trying to get their brake-less 30k ton canoe's to poke in/out from behind islands.

this is kind of valid because its so dumb that it takes me a second to figure out they aren't moving.

Someone made some sort of shooting guide in the alpha or beta weekend forum that said not to move to get max accuracy. So...every idiot in a battleship sits at extreme range totally motionless and plinks away at the other team.

That and there are battleship captains who seem to believe they are billed for any scratched paint on their ship and decide to stay as far away from the enemy as possible. If you're not engaging the enemy as a battleship or are currently maneuvering to engage the enemy, you are not doing your job. Sometimes that means you find yourself surrounded and go down in a blaze of glorious glory.

see above. Someone else made a guide that said 'hide behind everyone'.

If you want to club seals, get a Cleveland or an Atlanta. You should be rushing down the American cruiser line to get a Des Moines. RPM is king.

I love them especially when they do it wrong so I can shoot over the island and right into their decks. Other times I rage at the terrain getting in front of my shots.

As for RPM being king, I one-shot some poor cruiser in my TIV battleship. Completely unintentional, just lined up the shot. Next thing I know there's a '40320' number in the air and the dude tells me 'their cruiser is foundering!'

Of course I spent the next three minutes of that match chasing the enemies CV's while they ran away and picked off my Cruiser escorts with torp bombers. Ended up winning via base cap.

Right, that happens. But if you're firing 12 shells every 10 seconds(or in the Des Moines case, 9 shells every 6), your chance of scoring a hit(and thus a crit/citadel) increases enormously. Even if you don't get many citadel hits, you're still putting out so much damage that its hard for a other ships to keep up.*

*provided that you're more accurate than them

I dunno, they are only 140s. The jap cruiser move away from 140s by tier 3 or 4. And this is a tier 8 cruiser. I would imagine that you would be using he most of the time in it because ap wouldn't pen very well against its peers.

The Atlanta is a monster. Wait till people start getting piasters and you'll see.

You used the words pubbies and learn in one sentence, back to sunday goon school with you.

I couldn't imagine a more boring game than sitting deadstill 18km from the nearest target while battleships do a low rent impersonation of WOT artillery for 20mins.

Do torpedoes have an arming time now? I thought DD's were running rampant in the weekend alphas since they didn't, and you could literally drive-by shotgun other ships to death, but it still doesn't feel like they have one now.

Unless the arming time is less than 1km or something (I know almost nothing about actual torpedoes).

They arm after 100m or something.
