I have no Idea how someone could Manage so badly to be Honest. When I see a French DD its like "Dinnertime" because its got no Smoke and not even Heavy AA. So I can leisurely Eat it without any Worries. Only thing really not working on them is Torps because they are frickin Fast. Albeit despite that I mostly Ignore French DDs. They are easy Targets. But they just pose no Strategic Threat to the Team. Their Ability to Stealth Torp is almost non Existent. And without a Smoke they can use their Guns to Full Potential either. So even if they are in the Flank it just doesnt really matter.

Wow ?? Ernsthaft ???? Dieses Bild bei dem Ich erstmal 3mal hingucken und suchen musste um da überhaupt auszumachen wo da jemand ein Hakenkreuz gesehen hat ?? Und das hat ne 2 Seiten Discussion ausgelöst ???? Ich bin ja Selber etwas empfindlich wenn jemand bei Referencen zur NS Zeit in Spielen. Aber jetz mal Ehrlich. Man kanns echt auch übertreiebn. Leute kommt mal Runter. Ihr wisst aber schon das die Nazis das Symbol selber nur geklaut haben oder ??? Wenn ihr jedes Ornament Verbietet das ansätze von nem Hakenkreuz enthält dann müssted ihr etliche komplette Kulturen aus dem Spiel Bannen weil die das Zeichen benutzt haben bevor die Nazis überhaupt existiert haben. Vieleicht solltet ihr sowas mal nachlesen. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika Ihr könnt nicht Verlangen das die Ganze Welt das Symbol nicht Verwendet nur weil die Nazis sich das ding auf die Flagge Gedruckt haben..... Um mal zum Topic zurueckzukommen. Irgendwer ne Idee wann die Siegfried denn nun kommt und wleche Ressource es sein wird die man sich dafür beiseite legen muss ? Ich hab mittlerweile über ne Mio Free Exp Liegen und bin auch in der Kohle wieder fast auf 200k :) Aber Ich wüsste schon gerne was Ich sparen muss. Denn Ich wollte den kram jetz nicht Permanent liegen lassen.

Same Reason why its so easy to have a 100% Winrate in Coop Battles. Just like all Coop Ships. Coop CVs dont use any Upgrades or Skills. They dont use Motorboost and just like Coop Ships just Drive Straight towards you they basicly Fly Straight into your Heavy AA. So any Ship that has at least some Heavy AA will usually Delete the Squadron Attacking them as it just keeps flying the Black Puffs. Moreover their Ability to Drop Bombs and Torpedoes is Horrible. Most of the Time the AI will miss you even if you dont do anything.

Well then. While I have no Intention of Focusing on Capture Point Brawling. I do certainly like the offer of receiving some Advice. Here is a Bunch of Replays of me Playing Today and Trying around how to work with the Z52. (While also Grinding for the Unique Upgrade albeit I dont think I will ever use it) This Includes Flanking, Cap Point Brawling and a Mix in between where I try to Flank the Capture Point. (For those who dont Know. I suck with DDs for most Part. So this is NOT Expert Gameplay and should not be used for Reference by anyone. It is meant for the others here who offered Constructive Criticism) 20190918_151245_PGSD110-Z-52_45_Zigzag.wowsreplay 20190918_161025_PGSD110-Z-52_28_naval_mission.wowsreplay 20190918_164155_PGSD110-Z-52_38_Canada.wowsreplay 20190918_165852_PGSD110-Z-52_15_NE_north.wowsreplay 20190918_215943_PGSD110-Z-52_16_OC_bees_to_honey.wowsreplay 20190918_221328_PGSD110-Z-52_16_OC_bees_to_honey.wowsreplay 20190918_223101_PGSD110-Z-52_50_Gold_harbor.wowsreplay 20190918_225504_PGSD110-Z-52_52_Britain.wowsreplay

Yeah. Lemming Train for the Win. Who had ever tought that there was such an Easy Tactic to Solve all Problems. Why has nobody ever tought of that ???? Oh Right......

No it really is. Last Week when this came up I actually wanted to see how this works and Tested this a Bit in the Training Room. Had a friend take his Shokaku and try to Bomb me in the Hipper which is Fully AA Specced. He is not a Good CV Player but he is good enough to Hit and he does know how to evade Heavy for most Part to get not Deleted by the Flak Bursts. In the First Round I did completely Ignore the Sector. So I did not Press the Sector at all. Instead Simply trying to move and make myself Hard to Hit. In the Second Round I did always use the Sector as soon as I saw Damage Numbers from my DPS Pop up on his Aircraft and tried to keep him in the Sector where I pressed. But the Effects are Extremely Limited. In terms of Attacks Carried out per Squadron nothing Changed. He managed 2 Attacks per Squadron of Rockets or Dive Bombers. And 3 Attacks with the Torpedo Squadron. The only Difference between using the Sector or not using the Sector. Was that I Shot down 1 Additional Aircraft of his Squadron for the Rocket and the Dive Bombers. And 2 Additional Aircraft for his Torpedo Bombers. For Rockets and Dive Bombers I shot down 3 Aircraft without Sector. And 4 when using the Sector. Most of these Kills were done on Retreating Aircraft. For the Torpedo Bombers I actually shot down 4 Aircraft without Sector. And 6 when using the Sector. Which seems to be mostly due to the Fact that due to him doing 3 Attacks I could Actually use the Sector Twice on him. The Second Sector use is even less Efficient as it deals barely any Damage due to there only being few Aircraft left. But thanks to it after the 3rd Drop the retreating 2 Aircraft usually got Shot down before gaining Immunity. So in Total. Using the Sector gives you no Feasible Advantage in the Attack itself as the Number the Enemy CV can Attack you Remains entirely the same regardless of using the Sector or not. It merely gives you some Extra Damage and in Average 1 Additional Aircraft Kill. At least if your a Hipper which is AA Specced. If you got much more DPS like Mino or Worcester I am sure it might make some more. As you got Higher DPS Value to begin with. If you got less DPS like most other Cruisers you will likely get even less Difference cause your Base DPS is lower.

Nope its still the exactly same thing as Before. Wargaming goes only by Numbers and Spreadsheet. And as CVs are Underplayed Wargaming wants to make them more Attractive. So T4 needs to be extremely Attractive to new Players to Join the CV Line. But in T4 the Normal Player Wargaming Expects. Is a Complete Noob. Who will 9 of 10 Times Miss Enemy Ships with his Drops even if that Ship does not even Try to Evade. So how do you make sure that this Noob somehow still manages to get his 10-20k Damage done ? Simple. You first Increase the amount of Ordnance Dropped. Thats why we now got 2 Torpedoes. This way you make it easier to Hit. And second you increase the Damage output. Thats why T4 CVs have similar Alpha Damages as T6 CVs. This way the few Hits you do will actually do more Damage. Moreover. In T4 Players have no Idea how to Evade AA or what an AA Range is. So as these Players constantly Cross into AA Ranges and will likely Strafe AA Ships going right into Heavy Flak Bursts. So to make sure he will actually reach the Target he wanted to go for. He needs Tough Planes which despite being Pretty Slow will make it to the Target. And for Noobs. Which mostly will miss you and which constantly keep flying slowly through your Flak Bursts. This is Perfectly Fine. Because they wont really do much with this. They will do their 10-20k Damage maybe 30-40k in a Good Game when they had a few Lucky Hits or towards the last Battles when they are about to get their T6 CV. And then will be gone to T6. Now the Problem is of course something that you can only See when your a Player actually plays the game and thus does not give a **** about Spreadsheets as Generally he just thinks about how to best abuser whatever Advantage the Game gives you. Because you See. Your not the Player who is Supposed to be here. And before the Hosho became Overpowered you did not actually Play Hosho that much as that the Spreadsheet would care about you :) And well thats where we are now. We got a New Research thing to Reset Trees. And a Range of Low Tier CVs which are 100% easy Mode because Wargaming wants to Attract People into CV lines. So well. Guess where you will Suddenly Find a whole Number of Experienced Players Spending their time..... And while the above is of course fine for Noobs. When an Experienced Player. Who will Hit 9 of 10 Times with his Drops. And who will Generally know how to avoid AA. This suddenly becomes a Terrible Problem. Because you Suddenly got a Player who will do 20k and more Damage for each Squadron he Sends out. And who can constantly Send out his High Damage Squadrons because he wont really lose any Aircraft during his Attacks. Albeit lets be Honest. This is not Limited to T4. After 0.8.5 the Spreadsheet Said. OH MY GOD. All the Noobs Stopped Playing CVs because they dont get 500k Average Damage without any Effort. We must Nerf AA so that every Noob is Guaranteed to reach the Target again. Thanks to that. The current AA even on T8 and T10 is extremely Weak after the Nerf. 70% of wether you Win or not Depends on the CV.

Likely in 0.8.5 or 0.8.6 as the back there AA was actually useful. And Yubari especially if using AA Defensive Consumable was actually Capable of Dealing Damage to Planes. Right now I can usually Empty the whole Squadron above an Yubari without any Problems or Risks of losing Planes.

Its whining. But its correct whining in this Case. CVs are currently massively Overpowered and not Balanced. There is nothing you can do about CVs right now. If your left 1 on 1 with a CV and your not right next to him. You can consider the Game lost. Even if your 2 on 1 or 3 on 1 unless one of you is close enough to immediately attack and kill him. You basicly lost. Because there really is nothing you can do about the CV just slowly killing you while Driving away and being out of your Reach. Dont bother. The Guy is a known Troll. He wont say anything relevant to Topic or bring any Arguments. He will just keep Derailing and Cherry Pick anything you say to keep Derailing the Topic into an unrelated Discussion. Best course of Action is to not engage and simply Ignore him to keep the Topic on course.

Pls Note. I got no Idea how to Report Bugs in this Game. I looked for a Bug Report Forum but found none. If there is a Designated Place to put this maybe a Moderator would be so Nice to Move it there. Well then. After Reading about them lately. And this Phenomenom Explaining some Strange Incidents I had before. I paid some more Attention. And see there. After just a Few Battles Today I had the Ghost Shells. I checked the Replay. And yes in the Replay as well the Shells do not get Rendered for some Reason. https://replayswows.com/replay/62990#stats Not exactly a Proud Match for me. As I stop in the Wrong Place and then Get Forced into a Suicide Charge to avoid Torpedoes... But about 3 Minutes into the Game. You can Observe that I am constantly Hit in the Side by something without the Shells Rendering. At First I tought it was the Gearing. But after watching the Replay I think it was the Daring instead. I keep getting Hit into the Side and Superstructure and also Receive Damage. But no Tracers or Shells are Actually Rendered. Hence the Explosions just Appearing on the Right Side of my Ship constantly. In alot of cases it seems the Explosions dont get Rendered either. As I get the Sound of Shells Crashing into my Ship and some Baackground Flickering from it. But cant make out any actual Explosions or Hits on my Ship.

So far 1x 50 Camos 4x 25 Special Signals. 2x 1000 Doubloons <--- Was actually Surprised because I got 2 of them at once lol

Possible. Since Z52 is Incredible Slow for a T10 DD and Generally is last in the Cap :P But Sorry. I dont farm Damage. The Few Games where I got high Damage Numbers is mostly from Games where the Enemy BBs are Oblivious... Trying to Rush my Smoke. Or just standing there Broadside to me slowly going in Reverse and then not getting away in time. Most of the Time I throw Torps the same way as I do with my CV. Blocking Paths and Spreading them to different Targets forcing People to Show Broadside to my Team by Turning away or into me *gg* Since I dont throw too much Torpedoes at one Target the Actual Damage I get is actually not that High. As People usually evade most of the Torps only being hit by 1 or even none. Tough dont tell them that. Whenever the Enemy Cruisers Turn towards me and then get Deleted by my Teams BBs due to Showing their Broadside to them. I tell them in Chat that they should just have Taken my Torps like a Man. They dont need to know that Spread my Torps on Purpose to make People turn around *gg*

Positives. Always like Free Stuff. So Yay for Birthday Event. Happy Birthday WoWs. Yay for some new Gun Sounds. German 420mm Sound Awesome. Yay for New Ships. Always like these. Yay for Doubloon Ship Coupon. :) Negatives. No CV Balancing Changes after 0.8.7 made AA Completely useless and caused CVs to go Full Roflstomping Mode against everything else again. Lots of new Sound Bugs. Ghost Shells Bug still not Fixed. So Yeah. I hope the Reason for this Update is Purely the Anniversary. Because CVs are absolutely NOT Balanced. Not even Close. When I take my CV. i do not Fight other Players. I do some Target Practice on Claybirds that coincidental are controlled by some Player. The AA Rework of 0.8.7 has made AA completely useless. And as the Grandios 3.5% Damage Burst cant even Turn a Single Plane Yellow. it feels more like a Mockery than anything else. That we still got Ghost Shells and even the Sound Bugs already Reported in PTS is quite Sad really.

Actually it would be your Win if I am on your Team. Because so far. Out of the Games where I went for a Cap Brawl. I got a Winrate of something around 30%. Going around the Flank however is going very well giving me Winrate of about 60% thanks to which my 30% for the last 2 Weeks is back to nearly 50% now. And I am working on getting above 50% total now thanks to no longer constantly pushing into a Capture Point and end up Dying after a few Minutes into Battle due to everyone knowing where I am. :) But no Worries. Should you ever end up on my Team. Just for you. I will go for the Capture Point so you can partake in my 30% Winrate of Capture Point Rushing ;)

I.ll pass. No Offense Intended. But the more I play with it going around the Flank. The more I am moving towards Positive Winrates with it. And I am not the Type of Person who likes to Bash his Head against a Wall until the Wall Breaks. This "Try again until you can Succeed" rubbish is just not my Style. I am a Strategy Player. When an Approach does not work I take a different one which works better. :) Thats just how I play Games. To begin with. Advice to keep going for Caps. Which is a 1 on 1 Challenge against an Enemy who is Guaranteed to have the Superior Ship (Because Z52 is the Worst DD in T10 by 500 Miles) Is just not making sense to me. its like your telling a Sumo Wrestler to Challenge others to a Sprint Race and if they are not Good at they should just keep Challenging others to Sprint Races until they become good enough that they Win it. The Sumo Wrestlers Strength is his Mass and Muscles. Not his Speed. So trying to Win against others in a Contest of Speed just makes no Sense.

I see. Thanks for the Answer. And Yes. I mean Legendary Modules. But the Game Calls em Unique Upgrades. So I stick to that. (Even tough I constantly think of them as Legendary Modules myself...)

So. I Finished the Mission for Hakuryu Unique Upgrade. And I got the Upgrade in my Inventar. But I cannot Mount it on my Hakuryu ? Something Bugged there ?

And this Bug was apparently not Fixed in 8.8...

Ich hatte vorhin im Spiel die Meldung das wir eine Kompensation für die Internet Probleme in Deutschland bekommen. Hatte drauf geklickt und Teilgenommen. Aber hab weder die Container noch die Marken erhalten :( Ich finde auch die Aktion nicht auf der Seite. Und der Ingame Link kommt nichtmehr. Habe Ich etwas Falsch verstanden ? Hat einer von euch die Kompensation schon bekommen ?

Just asking. But does everyone have all these Sound Bugs ? It seems there is a Number of new Sounds and Improved Sounds. But there is also an Incredible Number of Bugs apparently. I get Negative Messages when Enemy Ships are Sunk. Sound sometimes just reverts back to Old Sounds in between. And sometimes the Sound just completely Mutes entirely. Is that just a Problem I got ? Or is that a common Bug after the Update ?

I dont like this way of thinking to be Honest. This usual Idea of "If you cant make it work just try again until you can" thing is ridiculous if you ask me. Its like your telling a Kid which just Ran with its Head against the Wall. To Continue Running against the Wall with his Head until it can get through. Its the same as the Guys telling me that if I have Trouble Winning Games by Driving my Z52 into the Capture Point and Brawling there. I should keep doing it until I can Win it. But in my eyes this is just Idiocy. If a Method does not Gain Results I look for Different Methods. But more Importand than that. I dont have unlimited time on my Hands. I cant spend 10 hours a Day getting better at Forcing my Way through with Brute Force. Neither do I consider it Fun to Train myself in a Game to the Point of just being able to Win Regardless of the Situation. So I will abstain from that and instead just use the easy way provided by Farming some Bots in Coop ;)

I gave up and went to Coop to get the Victories for each Ship. I am not going to Suffer through all these Trash Teams while trying to get First Victory on my Ships....

Feel Free to waste your Money then. Just dont say I did not Warn you. This thing is completely useless

Dont Buy it. Its a Waste of Money. Planes are so Freaking Slow and Unmaneuverable that you feel like your Driving a Grosser Kurfürst... The Alpha Damage is High. But your doing like one Strike every 4-5 Minutes because your Planes are so Freaking Slow. It takes like 3 Hours to Turn around after an Attack as well. So Hunting a DD is really not worth it. Its nice you got so many Planes. But actually using them is next to Impossible because your so Slow that you cant really reach the Enemy fast enough to actually make anything of it....

Seriously ? Last Time I checked it was Supposed to be Pretty Bad
