I love sitting on top of deep submerged submarines until they run out of oxygen and just kind of die without even trying to fight me because they can't get far enough away from my destroyer to get their torps to arm.

Pubbies have thrown away me clearing away multiple enemy subs/carriers/destroyers by being killed easily and leaving the capture point completely undefended no less than five times in a row tonight. Defeat from the jaws of victory, every time.

If you do fleet battles DO NOT DO TEN GOONS AT ONCE you will fight Dark Judge too much and get 0 kills for a total wipe.

bees everywhere posted:We just did 7 vs 10 against dark judge. It went about as you'd expect. While you were doing that me and two other goons did a normal match and I ended up getting four kills with my TypeS, I swear most sub drivers are so bad at Tier3 I am being practically handed kills at this point.

Lee Outrageous posted:Got any advice for sub driving? You will sometimes be put way ahead of the rest of the fleet. Don't rush ahead. Slow down, have a buddy to help deal with anything that isn't a battleship at close range. USE SMOKE. On Torpedos: Area Denial is a thing, use one to bait enemies into turns and then fire spreads after their turn kills their speed, or just fire blind spreads to force enemies to break off, which will spoil their aim. On Scouting: Sometimes just finding the enemy BB's is enough to corral your pubbies in the right direction to turn a bad fight into a potential victory. If conditions are right, you can chase around groups of BB's and render their artillery useless in the face of "I don't want to eat torps for dinner and go to bed with the fishes." Actually killing them is just icing on the cake. Groggy nard fucked around with this message at 08:13 on Nov 25, 2015 |

Today my Cachalot Tier 4 American Submarine killed a Wyoming and then chased off a Kongo from the cap point via torpedoes and a complimentary deck gun round to the butt. I then sat for three minutes and solo captured, winning the game by a slim margin. And that's how I unlocked the Perch Tier 5 American Submarine!

There should be a better achievement for "Capped the point solo in a DD while being shot at by a Kongo and Wyoming for three minutes." The trick is to switch from going in circles at full forward to going in circles at full reverse.

Average Atlanta match. Just waiting for the pubbies to realize that the goon who constantly rants retardedly about "how does into botes hellp I need heee" is getting MvP most of the time.

Night10194 posted:I like DDs, but I'm not sure I'm playing them too well. Can someone explain spotting and scouting a bit better? I just get points for discovering enemy vessels and for having them in sight while far off BBs blow the poo poo out of them, right? Scouting also depends on a number of things like enemy visibility, your own scouting range for Radar/Sonar(these can be increased with commander skills and installable modules) and smoke. Fun things to do with DD's! Anti Submarine Warfare. Submarines will hunt your Carriers/Battleships/Submarines. Force them off target and make them shoot their wads early to ruin their dreams forever with your bigger torp spreads. If they go deep, depth charge them. Torpedo Thunderdome. Enemy DD's will sometimes challenge you in the narrows to a game of chicken. Pay attention to the shoreline as well as their torps, force them onto the shoreline with a spread(save two torps for when they gently caress Up), or just straight up have bigger balls and better aim. You will Mr Magoo at some point, so enjoy it, because it happens to everyone. WITNESS ME! If you survive the initial engagement and find yourself alone, but with a good idea of where the enemy BB shellfire is coming from, you can find where they tend to congregate and abuse your smoke bombs to get within shanking distance. If they have other targets often times most of them will not notice you until it is too late. Carriers also tend to gravitate towards the BB herds, making them easier targets than a Kongo who is actually paying attention and moving.

You know that historically the only planes the Ise could recover were the floatplane scouts, right? That everything else "Totally wasn't a suicide launch because they could recover at nearby land based airstrips" right? That boat is very

I didn't have time to mention it earlier, but the Ise also lost a ton of armor protection from the lost turrets, which tend to have better armor than the ships belt(unless it is a skinny Treaty Cruiser), and put a plane hangar in the once flashproof, floodproof ammo storage and turret cavity. So it took away quite a few of the strengths of a Battleship(extremely hard to penetrate stable gun platform) for a few squads of bombers that could only be used once. It will get deck penned and critted so hard. SO. HARD. It seems like it might be a fun bote in this game though. Which won't stop me from going every time I pen one with a DD.

Gonna add to the "Pepsicola is actually decent in this game" grouptalk with "It constantly outperforms the Repulse in my experience." which is really because the Repulse is just so undergunned considering how much of a slower and fatter target it(Repulse) is in comparison.

Stanley Pain posted:You're WAY more armoured, move just as fast (35 knots on mine) turn just about as fast and have WAY more damaging primaries albeit slower reload. The extra armor amounts to "Bigger target that is less concealable." With the exact same commanders on mine it seemed like the Repulse was 2 knots slower. Nobody expects the super quick refire on the Pensacola with all the reload time mods/commanders stacked and active, especially maneuvering DD's. BB's who are already engaged with another BB just don't understand why everything is fire, and I can just smoke and maneuver a single enemy BB who gets the bright idea to shoot me. I tend to drive both of them exactly like an Atlanta though, which means I need a certain level of accuracy from the guns.

And killed the entire enemy team with an American Submarine once! I hope things went okay with the fleet battles, I always have to work during the Saturday ones and on the Tuesday I'm usually thinking "Do I spaceships or see if my family wants to meet for dinner and alcohol/controlled substances on my only day off?" and completely forget, which is sad because the big botefleet battles with goons are better than the spaceships at least.

Humbaba posted:Can you guys give some gunnery lessons in fleet tonight? I'm getting 2 kills a match in my Nevada, and I think it's mostly because I'm missing shots. I stay a live well, but I have a tough time hitting DDs at range. At long range I only fire when I know I can hit or I really want the DD to gently caress off from chasing our subs. What I usually do is try to get into a safe position to hit the escorting Cruisers lurking behind them. Once they get in torp range, they tend to get cocky and predictable, because they think "lol I got this" and then they become proper dumpstering targets between torpedo run behavior and the reduced shell flight time needed to hit them. edit: I cleared the application list because pubbies.
