Applied to join GOONS. I just started, though, so if you're prioritizing people with higher tier ships that's fine.

Zaodai posted:Fleet Battles are 9pm to 11pm Eastern on Tuesdays and Fridays, right? I guess one of the guys who actually runs things in the fleet can confirm, but I seriously doubt that will be an issue. Fleets are 15 people at most, in the higher levels. The low levels that everyone actually plays are limited to ten. I don't think we're going to need more space.

If this ends up being an issue and we need the fleet slot for a fleet battles player, let me know, I'll step aside.

Griz posted:the points go into a global pool which you then spend on individual guys through some button in the barracks screen. it tells you how many points it costs to promote someone but I haven't seen anywhere that shows the relationship between stars and the excellent/elite/whatever levels in the text descriptions. If you go to the promotion screen and click the little eye button after dragging a commander into the slot to be promoted, it brings up a window showing that commander at any star level. It's useful for seeing how skill change when you go from four stars to five, though the change is so small I doubt I'd ever do it except with a commander I know I'm going to use on almost everything.

Panzeh posted:Even at full speed my Mogami 35 has a band where it can see BBs and not be seen, but it's very thin. It's also very dependent on speed- one of the flaws I think we have vis a vis tryhard clans is going full speed ahead at all times and this is actually a significant debuff to your stealth rating. I think disguise is actually really important and probably moreso than spotting range. I did not know any of this, and you're right. It explains a LOT about our matches against Dark Judge.

Mazz posted:I got two questions now: Fleet battles are tonight! (Tuesdays and Saturdays) Everyone should show up. We've been very close the last couple times to being able to field two teams at once. The level we're playing at need T3 destroyers and T4 battleships (Fubukis and Wyomings are preferred but not mandatory), so even fairly new players can contribute. Don't worry about how good you are, either - we're not tryhards like Dark Judge. Show up, shoot botes, have a good time. Also, nice av, Groggy.

One thing that may have been obvious to some of you: If you're shooting at a DD, use HE! I never used to bother, because I figured it was too much hassle for too little gain. I was wrong. I started using it in 5v5s last night, and it made a very noticeable difference in how quickly I was killing DDs in a New Orleans.

 1) gently caress pubbies. I'm not good enough to carry that hard. 2) Especially gently caress pubbies who claim I'm not doing anything, and that's the only reason I'm not dead. 3) But really, especially gently caress anyone from the Confederate clan. Though they did react pretty funny when I complimented them on their historical accuracy. See, they died without accomplishing anything, just like the real confederate navy. (Also, I laughed my rear end off when one actually answered to "Hey racist confederate guy" in global chat)

Mazz posted:Double post but after looking at the X BBs I see why they didn't go with the Montana; they'd have to nerf the guns compared to the Iowa considerably to account for that entire extra turret. If they stayed the same and you just added 3 more guns it'd do like 4000 more damage a shot than either of the other two. That would explain things, yeah. What's your choice for best tier X BB? I'm indecisive on whether I should grind up the Japanese line or the American line.

Panfilo posted:Well yeah. I can always pop Quickload and sandblast them down with weight of fire. It's just frustrating that only 1 out of 9 are getting through. You can improve that with a bit of luck and careful aim - try to hit the BB right at the bow or stern, where there's open deck with no armored turrets.

Night10194 posted:I've started to feel like CAs are actually superior to BBs. It might just be a matter of personal preference, but it feels like their ability to accurately kill small craft that get lit up combined with their higher accuracy and reasonable ability to blast BBs through their decks makes them more flexible in just about the same role, plus if you do get spotted, the higher speed and better maneuverability will let you smoke and reset the engagement more easily than a BB. The boat I have the highest win rate in (with any decent number of games, anyway) is the Baltimore, for what it's worth. Then again, my lowest win rate by far is in the Surcouf, so that's not the most reliable metric.

Platonicsolid posted:So, fleet battles tonight or will it just be another "get smashed by dark judge" party again? Dark judge usually doesn't get on until ten, so if everyone tries to show up early we should get a few games in. That is, assuming they even DO show up - they didn't last Tuesday and we had some good games before breaking into squads.
