For all those looking into CVs: Bombing is hard as gently caress. You cannot do strikes like you do in WoWs. AA is super deadly, and there is no real assist like autoaim. You do however get actually a lot of points for spotting. So as CV you are more of a support. You can select your plane loadout and start your planes in strike groups.

Perestroika posted:After some more testing, it kinda seems like CVs are all around a bit poop right now, at least at lower levels. Planes will die pretty much instantly the moment they get into range of any kind of AA, meaning that all of them are pretty much suicide squadrons. You get a lot of XP for spotting damage. The beginning is a bit eh. Try to spot targets carefully. After groups have been split start hunting and lighting up the enemy

Stanley Pain posted:German BBs have the best pen, best deck armor, middle of the pack damage. Their secondaries tend to be a good category larger, and by extension better pen then the others as well. This tend to follow for CAs as well. Their CA line seems to be prominently end in Pocketbattleships. Which is good + cool.

Third World Reggin posted:I am enjoying the Konigsberg 1927. I put on the gyroscope and the pressure cycle driver but not sure I need either. The ship is just what I would expect from a CL. It is a huge step up from any other CL in it's class. The triple barrels mage a huge difference in accuracy. I often get rather longs shots where I hit up to 6+ times. It reloads fast, it aims decently fast, the turrets turn fast. It has a slim profile, good AA guns, a decent amount of torpedos and depth charges. That and the fact the two batteries on the back are set apart looks cool as gently caress. In addition to that you can run away quite well since most of your firepower is actually in the back.

Sgt. Anime Pederast posted:How is the game compared to world of warships? I love the concept of subs, and also played navyfield back in the day too. It's usually more fast paced, actually more fun. The grind isn't as bad. You have to manually control your secondaries and AAA. Planes are not bullshit OP because they can't spot too well and get absolutely shredded by any kind of AAA fire. No torpedo aim indicator. A mix of Battlestations Pacific + Navyfield + WoWs. e: Also already a lot more botes.

How to kill a sub as a BB: 1. Drive straight at the sub. 2. Ram it. 3. Unload secondaries point blank. 4. Win match.

Perestroika posted:Oh nice, 500 gold's just enough for another ships slot. Yet another line for me that I can't advance on because I don't have enough silver Gold ammo becomes kinda a bit for T5 BBs since they add a lot of pen and 40 damage. At least for the Nevada. Other than that premium matches, taking off equipment and flags.

. On that note, do we already have some estimation what the best/worst ways to spend small sums of gold are? Gold ammo an consumables seem like far and away the worst, but what about camo or flags?

Stevefin posted:So as an old Navyfield player. How much is this game like it? Well, anything that isn't a BB, SS or CV actually has a use even in higher tier games. Gun selection is WoT like. But the stock equipment is usually very good as well. I am kinda happy/sad about that. On one hand, choosing your guns for your ship is cool, on the other hand, Navyfield did it awful. CVs are a good mix of WoWs and NS. You get a certain amount of slots. Each slot can have one type of plane in the air. You can select how many you want to start per squad. AA is manual, but you get an aim marker that is sometimes correct. Automatic AA still exists.

bees everywhere posted:I haven't played WoWS but last night I decided to try WoT and it was hilarious how seemingly the entire business model, UI and just about everything else was copied directly from it. Even the tank/ship class icons are exactly the same. Chinese game development: if it ain't broke, replicate it and add submarines Funnily enough it's much better and more fun than the original.

Ratzap posted:I wanted to play the Japanese ones because, just because. However, on getting to t4 I find it's bigger than a bloody destroyer, slower than the one before and doesn't turn too well. Now you lot are writing that they stay that size now? I may change lines for subs before I get too invested. Pity because I had some great games in the I-4. Japanese subs get the best torpedos which have no problem wrecking anything smaller than a BB in one or two hits. It's not a bad line at all. It comes down to what you like more. The game is certainly more balanced than WoWs. e: Furthermore, just play multiple lines. Right now T5 is still pubbie wasteland, so just take your time.

If you hit them just in front of the midpoint of the ship, you always seem to hit a power magazine or something and just blow them up completely. It's super satisfying All I can tll is drive whatever you think looks best because: A. That's the most important thing B. I have the feeling the game is okay balances C. Grind is low
