"bi" means oval office in chinese Does this game have the WoWS problem where you get lit on fire for all eternity and there is no other sense of gameplay? I am confused by my main menu.

I feel like the Fubuki is ridiculously good, but I've only played like 4 ships and maybe the free 24h premium is doing some p2w stuff? Game is fun

The fleet can be upgraded again, thanks to the efforts of Feindfeuer, the most power of bottoms.Det_no posted:Is there any clear nation that has the best battleships/carriers/cruiser/destroyers/subs or is it too early to tell? Or maybe the game is actually kinda balanced and I'm just scarred from war thunder. They more or less play the same as the others in their class. Games are fast and you should just take it easy and do whatever your ship class is meant to do.

Night10194 posted:It's really astonishing and alien to me to see a Japanese DD with guns that work, but the Fubuki's cannons seem to hit like a train compared to the Mahan. I think I'm still stuck thinking of IJN DDs as having lovely guns from World of War Ships. The Japanese destroyers have a lower arc that makes it easier to hit small ships. They have something similar in WoWs, but in this game they deal proportionally more damage to make up for their slower reload. Fubuki best ship

Do commander skills stack? Some of their skills have the same name, like "Enhanced Engine", and I need to know if I can pile a bunch of those guys on my Fubuki and have it go 43 knots.

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to any nation's destroyer lines. Like, certain ships are just better than every other destroyer of the same tier, but their strengths don't follow any pattern. Tier 3 Fubuki is better on every level, tier 6 M-class is the same, tier 8 Akizuki is probably the best, and son. It's not like there's a rule to torpedo number or gun number or anything either. A lot of high tier ships have 4 torpedoes, and some high tier ships have 15. This game is weird.

Ciprian Maricon posted:Matchmaking in this game really sucks and its the one thing really bringing me down. Matchmaking is alright if you don't play high tier cruisers. Platooning in weird/unpopular ship combos isn't convenient but just don't bring that sub/carrier/lightcruiser group and you're fine.

Mazz posted:Just grabbed this game and got the Repulse, for a second I thought I lost it because I had zero credits to actually get it with, but it was there. You can buy gold based on a fixed money-to-gold price. If you click on the little present icon in the shipyard, you'll see a bunch of prices. Those are one-time packages that you can use to double the amount of gold you purchase. The 6800 gold one is pretty reasonable, but you don't really need gold to play the game. I've mostly spent my gold on ship slots. The growth plan is the other tab, and it's basically an investment scheme. You buy it with gold, and then get that gold back as you research up the tiers. You also get a bunch of free xp. It's a pretty good deal if you plan on playing the game a lot. You have to decide whether or not you like the game before you research your first tier 5 ship. It'll be an easy decision imo Currently the devs are basically giving you free premium all the time. If you get 2 wins in a group/squad/platoon you get 24 hours of premium, and this is a daily event. Also, every week I seem to get 10 matches of premium from the devs as well. I don't know what the plan for this game is. There's probably some main Chinese forum for it.

I had some free time so I'm throwing down this crew management guide. Please correct me if I get anything wrong! Getting Crew You mostly get crew from buying it in the store. Click on the shop and then the "Commander" tab, or click a crew slot and select "Recruit a Commander". The page looks like this:  You can buy commanders with Merit or gold. You can get Merit through events, and monthly/weekly if you play enough or are in a clan. You can get gold through money. The crew you get are random, and I don't know anybody who's bought the 18000 gold list that supposedly gives you more rare crew. You'll also get some free crew for buying your first tier V ship in a class. They're pretty good. Crew Management You can get to the main screen by opening the Barracks, or clicking a crew slot and choosing "Select a Commander"  I HAVE LABELLED THIS FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE 1. The crew of your currently selected ship. The number below their portrait is their skill level. 2. What your crew's skill level is doing to your ship, in their current position. Mouse over a position icon to see this. 3. Select a pre-built crew. You need to make it yourself. 4. Takes you to a new tab where you can make a pre-built crew selection. Mouse over a commander to see the stuff in the red border. 5. The name of a terrible commander. 6. The skill level of a terrible commander. 7. The promotion level of your terrible commander, in stars. 8. The level of a bad commander that I will never use. If I did, the xp bar would fill up, and his skill level would increase each time. 9. The CP cost of the captain's ability. Press spacebar in-game to use it. I think you gain CP from doing stuff in-game that would give you xp. 10. The requirements to unlock a crew kill. Level is their level, the word is their promotion level. It goes: Common - Superior - Elite - Excellent - Legendary. This commander has ludicrous requirements for a mediocre skill. Crew Promotion From the barracks, clicking on the "Promotion" tab brings you here.  Drag a commander into the box, and it'll tell you how many qualification points you need to promote them. In my screenshot, I have selected German Admiral and noted war-criminal, Erich Raeder. You get qualification points for getting repeat commanders from random draws. The extra commander is incinerated and converted into qualification points, which you will need a lot of to promote your commanders up. It costs more and more points to promote higher star commanders. Click on the eye to get this preview screen.  You can select "Rarity" to get a preview of what abilities you unlock at a given promotion level. Commanders also increase their skill level with each promotion. At Legendary, some commanders get a boost to one of their existing skills. That's all! Make sure to train up your crew, goons. Beyond their abilities, skill level is also very important and helps you gain an edge over other players. Try to stay away from bad commanders, don't waste any xp on them because they're usually useless and stay useless. Slim Jim Pickens fucked around with this message at 23:18 on Dec 25, 2015 |

Ratzap posted:I finished the Furutaka and bought an Agano. My very first match was exactly what I had been hoping for - the agano is like a powerful destroyer. Fast, turns well and makes subs cry. Over 4200 exp with the stock ship in it's first battle - god it's so good to be out of the Furutaka. I kinda wish I went for the Agano. The Aoba isn't as awkward as the Furutaka, but it has the same number of guns and isn't great at fighting destroyers.

I don't want to ask anybody to force themselves to "train" or do virtual gunnery drills or whatever. The skills you need to play fleet battles are basically the same ones you build by just playing normal games. We still give a decent showing when we lose, and I don't want anyone to feel obligated to treat the game as a job or whatever. I certainly don't want to discourage any new players by demanding they get better for fleet battles (They don't matter very much).

dpidz0r posted:I have terrible (or at least they look terrible to me) DD commanders, do you have an example of what a good DD crew setup looks like? I think I've been lucky enough to pick up a bunch of good DD crew. I'll list them out, but I don't expect everybody to have the same. Captain - Kaspar Mass. +1 knot and 8% speed and acceleration if captain. His ability lasts for 45 seconds and makes an alert pop up if you get spotted. Also gives 150m of spotting range at lvl 8 Gunner - Mikawa Gunyichi. +10% acceleration to light cruisers and destroyers. Some aim time buffs. I mostly use him because he's already really high level and gives me good aiming buffs. Steering - Nobody important. Koga Shinsuke gives me +1 knot and a small torp reload thing but it's not amazing. You want some decent skill level for some buffs. Comms - Arashi Engineer - Von Luckner. Disguise is good, Von Luckner gives +5% disguise and acceleration. I like having acceleration buffs because speeding up and slowing down is a good way to screw up aiming battleships. So is running directly away from them and making small course adjustments.

Panfilo posted:I've played Navyfield and World of Warships. How is this game in comparison? I saw people describing it as "the bastard child of the two" which sounds interesting; having subs definitely sounds interesting and just so many ship classes make it sound like it is very crazy and chaotic. Much more arcadey than WoWs. Ships accelerate and turn much faster, you never have to spend much time just to cover the map. You get an actual aim circle that corresponds to the spread of your shells. For battleships and cruisers, you can aim from this top-down view like artillery in WoT. Also, there's a mechanic where your shots get more accurate as you land more shots in the same area. The different ship classes have more clear roles than in WoWs. I think it's less grindy because there are lots of dev-given bonuses and costs are lower. Also, the game is just more engaging to play than WoWs. You also feel like you have more input over the course of a game than WoWs Be warned, if you insult the Quebecers in this game they will spend the entire game shooting you and ramming you instead of anything more productive.

Lazermaniac posted:Applied to the fleet. Is there a set of guidelines on how to not suck with torpedoes? I only seem to be able to hit stationary targets with the drat things. Make a quick estimate or how far you need to lead a ship, then aim well further than your estimate. Also if your target isn't poo poo they'll dodge it unless you're really close. Making a ship turn will screw up their aim, which is good

Llyranor posted:When I just started the game, I decided to go on the Japanese line for cruisers because I wanted torpedoes with my cruiser. After a test-driver in the tier4 CA, I don't see what the point of torpedoes is in a heavy cruiser. It steers so sluggishly you'll never hit anything with it. I guess area denial. The Furutaka has these awful torpedo tubes that are embedded into the ships hull. The next cruisers in the Japanese line have mounted tubes that have good firing arcs

Llyranor posted:Is there a way to view the ships prior to buying them? It'd be nice to see gun/torpedo placement. I don't think so. Just ask in the thread because there's a few of us who have played up to tier 7 already and know the arcs pretty well. For the record, I think it's only the Furutaka that has that truly awful torpedo placement, all other ships have mounts with good coverage.

Mazz posted:It seems to be based entirely on performance, and it expects higher performance as you go up in tier. I would say the best place to get it right now is tier 5 and 6, but you really have to be in the top 3, perferably getting that MVP, as much as possible climb up, especially since the higher tiers you lose 10-20 renown at the start of every day. At tier 7 and 8 it can get really dumb because those 3v3 matches you often pull there isn't enough poo poo to shoot at to really get the renown the game expects you to, so you can lose some even on decent wins. You can turn renown off if you want to grind some stock boats or play some classes you aren't good at. You'll lose the daily penalty, but you won't gain or lose renown from matches. I turn it off whenever I play carrier.

Platonicsolid posted:We should probably put the Mumble stuff, and some pointers on fleet battles in the OP. I and others have come in rather ignorant, might make FB smoother. The DDs past tier 5 are extremely powerful gunships (Except the Ca-class), that aim in fast and shoot well. They tend to have very few high-damage aa guns, which isn't the greatest, and also run spare on torpedoes. The tier 9 gets a lolfucksubs 11 depth charge launcher. Brit DDs are very maneuverable and can dodge things ok. They are probably best at killing other destroyers while avoiding big shells. The CVs are an unknown factor but I see tryhard players grinding up them so who knows if they get good later. El_Molestadore posted:Got the Kagero! Which of the guns do I go for? Help me goons!
