My efforts are entirely invested in the US tree but for the life of me i can't play destroyers worh poo poo, any advice on good videos or generic tips on how to play destroyers? when do i deploy smoke, and when do i use my guns or torps? it seems like bar is predictable to alot of players, it would greatly help to know how to shoot them without relying on it. Also i sucked my way to the Clemson, its actually pretty good with the gun upgrade as a destroyer hunter.

I got the langley to gently caress around with carriers a little, but i'm not sure how it works, i upgraded the aircraft and the hull, but i can only launch one wing of fighters and bombers? i have like 9 of each type stored, are they only for repairs?

I tried the Albany, only to get trolled by another Albany with better range  it seems to alleviate the range problem you need a 10 skill point captain on it :V at least you don't have to retrain that captain.

Hazdoc posted:Wow, the Bogue is pretty rear end. Either you take the 2 squads to have a fighter and a TB, or you go full "I don't like EXP" and do double fighter or "I don't like having planes" and 2 DB 1 TB. I seem to win most of mine when i use the bomber module, and its fun focusing one ship down with the groups you have, plus goading the other player's fighter aircraft into a group of cruisers is fun.

NTRabbit posted:Just lost a battle because some utter shitstain driving a Minekaze missed an entire salvo of torpedoes at a stationary Langley, then drove in to 4km range and tried to sink it with guns, and instead he was sunk by the secondaries. From a loving Langley. Alot of dudes in Japanese DD's seem to be firing their torpedoes from maximum range, i really question this style when they have ample opportunity to close in (on carriers for example) and guarantee their hits if they fire from 3km or less.

Panfilo posted:I'd rather the pubbies on the other team keep their battleships nice and isolated. My little carrier needs a steady diet of isolated battleships and tunnel visioned carriers to grow big and strong. Thats what a bomber mod bogue teaches you, stay on your toes and you'll be able to carry matches versus two other carriers easily. Torpedo bombers are really loving dangerous once you get the manual aim thing down, i won't be surprised if those get nerfed.

Whats the range on the hydrocaustic sonar, and how do i direct a fighter pilot from my catapult to attack aircraft? they don't seem to do anything even when i'm shooting them off the sky with my own AA. Also apparently cruisers have a hidden ability called defensive fire? how do i activate it?

kaesarsosei posted:Why is the St Louis so venerated in this game? I've had one for two weeks and while I think its a decent ship, I found both the Phoenix and especially the Omaha much superior. I've nearly reached the Cleveland and I'm thinking of selling my St Louis and using the Commander in my Cleveland but I just feel like I'm missing something with the St Louis. I typically get 100 hits or more in a match with it but I don't feel like the damage is great. I mostly use HE vs everything. You need to face charge more, it is glorious

Dalael posted:I'll admit being guilty of doing that myself. Hiding behind an island that is. I tend to find an island that is relatively close to the front line in order to have a faster plane turn out. It also helps insuring that one of your side is safe(r). However, I keep a really close watch to the minimap so that I can get the gently caress out of there if a DD comes my way and no one stops it despite my desperate pleas. Same for enemy carrier's plane that skirts the edges of the map and takes most of the match to reach me. You're not wrong if you go closer, just don't stop, keep moving and hope the glob of ships your close to doesn't fold too quick. Most people don't realize closer to the front a carrier gets the faster they service aircraft, and the more damage they do, edge of map carrier players are scum and deserve everything they get

Hoboskins posted:Just had a great game which I lost, somehow?! I was in my Kawachi and RNG must have been in my favour because before I died I got 7 citadel hits and destroyed 4 Boats pretty much on my own. In the end I did 81k damage the most I have ever gotten. We were up significantly so I left figuring it was a sure win, I was wrong. It was still pretty great because the two St Louis drivers were in a platoon and accused me of hacks when I got massive crits on both of them. Your team is very capable of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, check the post battle stats see if it was only you doing damage, i got several games where i'm making more than 1k base experience but the entire team struggles to break 200

wdarkk posted:LOL. Right now my main problem with that ship is that as a tier 7 premium I can't put an existing commander in, I'm forced to go into tier 7 battles with no Last Stand until I can get it. I couldn't find it anywhere, but can you train your captain to get 3 points or am i stuck with what i get? Also sorry for not warning you folks, by yeah its available on the EU server right now. I really hate these limited ship releases, why can't they just put them in the ship store like the rest of the premiums? or even make them available in-game for a gold purchase like WOT?

There is a coop mission after you unlock the Emden that gives 3x captain experience, since its a premium boat stick your cruiser captain for some of that sweet experience before selling the boat

   If you're a destroyer and the map is fault line, capture point B for some reason or another you'll be in a prime location to strike from anywhere, and thats what happened. lovely gun damage admittedly and most of these kills were actually low health snipes, but it feels good to shine once in a blue moon Edit: this is with the christmas skin, and the 50% xp flag

I finally got the Tashkent, while the stats don't look too great on paper, it is deceptively powerful. Range caps off at 13.9KM with AFT, and it has a base concealment of 75 which is one of the lowest for any destroyer (gets detected at 9.4 KM) but if you put the stealth mod (2 million credits) and camouflage you can bring that up to a tolerable 8.2 km. Its unfortunate the Kiev doesn't have that upgrade slot, but i assume thats what i'll be doing with the Udaloi and Khabarovsk which has 71 concealment (10 KM) Also i'm 2 skill points away from the 5th skill, whats a good skill setup for russian DDs? should i take concealment expert for the last skill?

How do i torpedo in russian destroyers? it always seems to me i have to suicidally rush a distracted ship but its getting increasingly harder lately, im in the tashkent currently and having a very difficult time even with the 8km torpedoes. Currently with my camo rating at 81 i can stay hidden for up till 8.2 km and i usually try and guess a ships movement trajectory so it would sail into my torps at 9km but its very hit and miss. Is there any reason to stick with the russian 4km torpedoes at tier 8 or is that not a good idea after i unlock the 8km torps?

NTRabbit posted:You don't. Russian destroyers are not destroyers, they are in fact brittle light cruisers with better camo, that are grossly incapable of doing the destroyer things that US and IJN destroyers do as a matter of course. Oh, i guess try and play like a speedy light cruiser and bullying DD's without rushing caps. Should i get the camo skill, or just focus on survivability? edit: And does preventative maintenance make the turrets sturdier?

The New Orleans is giving me an aneurysm, i'm contemplating getting the 3000 doubloon camo just to get out of it, on the other hand i dunno what line to pursue, i guess the US DD line is decent? It sounds like the end tier stuff for the US navy is mediocre.
