Ah I see what you mean, so basically just like DD's, one nation has more pew pews, the other has more water popsicles, with the stealth element of DD's removed thou... Yea. I think I made up my mind thank you guys !

USS Dickbutt, reporting for serious duty

Honestly if after 6+ the difference is minimal between the countries, I'd rather go for USS and exploit the hidden value of Atlanta being a god-boss when compared to Kitakami More enjoyable leveling!

Please elaborate , I havent played any cruiser in this game yet, so it will be hard for me to judge what im looking at

Are all IJN cruisers suffering from the Kitakami syndrome? o.O

would you say that high lvl (IX - X) IJN cruisers are stronger than IX - X USS cruisers?

Depend's how much "magic" is in those apples and oranges

Was thinking about the Cleveland, Mogami isnt bad at that either tho?

huh

To put into perspective a little bit more, just had a 1v1 fight in my Sism with a tier X Shimakaze, and beat the living snot out of him coming out with 70% hp left, lol

had my greatest games in USS Sims to be honest. The ship feels exactly like Type 59 , in that way that the kit for its tier is amazing Most people jump on SIMS and play it as they would theyr jap destroyers, and fail miserably, because tahts not what its meant to do. Its Incredibly mobile, incredibly stealthy, you can molest BBs with it and even duke it out with cruiser if you are good with using mouse 2 mode to spam shots and use full concentration to maneuver and dodge shots. Torpedos are fast and powerful, plagued a bit by the american thing of being 5km, but honestly thats all you need in sims, its so fast and stealthy that you will be able to sneak up to people and deploy torpedos in their face. Altho that being said, Sims needs to be played very conservatively. In the begging of the game cap / scout / mollest BB's with long range weapons, mid game try for ambushes and fire exchanges, late game hunt and finish wounded enemies. I had multiple games so far where i came out with 750k credits , multiple kills, multiple torpedo hits, over all - amazing fun and amazingly powerful ship if used well. Bad Sims pilots will rush and die in few seconds just liek people who drive lights in WOT, and good Sims players - they are death itself

Hi, Does anyone know if our accounts will be wiped of all progress when the game goes live?

Say it in a way as if you are explaining to a person who has never heard of it before and has no clue what it is (e.g. me )

If penetrated - yes , reliable damage boost

Does anyone know if its possible to enable server reticle in world of warships just like in world of tanks? I don't have the best internet connection, and usually average at around 50-60 MS, and I've noticed that commonly when i fire shells directly at target and they seem to pierce the hitbox / model, but does no damage, and instead when i shoot at water in front of the enemy ships, it doesnt seem to connect, but i actually do damage. Terrible disadvantage :/

Means only 1 shell penetrated, if all shells penetrated you would have received 5k pop ups 7 times (happened to me only once when entire salvo penetrated). Maximum damage is when you hit a citadel, that's when you get 14k, think of it as a critical hit in other games

Hi again, I took most of your advises switch from wireless to ethernet, (just layed down a 10 meter cable on the floor ) Unfortunately I see very little improvement, shells still go through ship textures, and apparently I can citadel hit THE OCEAN

Hi guys, thanks for your replies. This is actually a problem that is starting to become common for a lot of people, almost for everyone who uses laptopts intact.. To get an ethernet connection from my router to computer would take a few ingenious drilling solutions in my house, and I don't think my landlord would be too happy about it Basically what happens is for those effected, in short term - when your bullets connect to enemy ships - no damage, they seem to fly straight through. And if your bullets land ahead of enemy ship sin the water, suddenly damage even tho you can clearly see that your bullets were fired too early and should not have hit. This can happen in world of tanks as well, but it's less felt do to tanks being able to aim and point their guns faster, so it's less impact-full. The only time it's really felt is when you are using artillery, but under game options WG lets you tick a box on or off called "server reticle". What that does is basicaly enforces your reticle to be shown as it is calculated on the server and not on your local client, making precision shots unaffected by lags etc. Just wondering if WG has plans of adding/enabling this function in WoW, would really hate to drill my house

When you fire shells and they hit for 300-600 dmg it means they didn't penetrate, but the force was still strong enough to dmg the ship a little bit. + - 5000 is a penetrating hit, shell went in, did it's damage worth. 10k + you hit a a critical weakspot like the citadel or gunpowder storage EDIT: errr, the above applies to BB's, on other classes your mileage may warry

3.)While i am on the topic of vision, I had multiple occasions now, again at long range engagements, where i saw the shell go right throught the enemy ships hull.... and it did not count as a hit or do damage. On other occasions i have seen it splash into the water next to the enemy ship, only to do 3000 dmg.... what? Is this a problem with sever side connection, is the enemy positzion not correctly dispalyed, are the hitboxes bugged? ^ Plagued by this constantly actually to the point where I went to support, opened a ticket, and demanded server reticle option just like in world of tanks I assume you're on a laptop? If so: Quick fix: 1. Go into router settings and set wireless mode to N (G or B - BAD, NO JUST NO) 2. If 1 didn't help much, get an Ethernet cable, stick it in your router, stick it in your computer Closing skypes, torrents, teamspeaks etc helps as well

Very nice read sir, thanks for adding your thoughts, also please not that very little has been said about DD's here, I honestly think they are a little under-powered, 1 shell above 300mm is usually all it takes to end their lives and even to go further, I know I've vaguely pointed at many things in my post, but my main point of the thread was about overall performance of some classes when compared to others, and even though some concerns noted - this is definitely not a nerf thread.

I've actually been doing that for the last few hours, and honestly the whole point of this thread, maybe voiced incorrectly, was aimed towards the idea of carriers being more effective on average, and even tho I'm getting hit by torpedoes less, I'm still having trouble shaking the idea of just switching to carriers.

But I haven't blamed anything? I made this thread to voice concerns and not call for nerfs? Also how can you say "yes i agree" and then disregard half of what the man posted?

Great point actually, fan of Dark Souls myself But that being said, dark souls can be beaten with nothing but your fists

i would have to disagree, majority of people responded to this post with proper intellectual responses and then there were a few who didn't have anything better to say than "your opinion defies mine, clearly you don't understand the game mechanics" . Obvious trolls are obvious.
