Shima, Harugumo and Hayate.

Im playing IJN DD's exclusively last 2 days, not too bothered with radar to be honest :o

Plasma. Shield.

Pretending to accurately pull percentages out of ones own arse is a favorite skill enjoyed by 95% of the forum veterans

The stuff WG has been systematically removing from the game last 2 years?

How are you doing with the reticle change for rocketplanes in DDs? I figured the change really helps the ability to minimize damage from those stupid things. Not so much in a wounded cruiser though.

Yes. Why not? When DDs counter DDs as you say they are literally their own counter. When carriers won't even attempt to attack each other carriers because WG made it pointless by design, what is actually the hard counter of the carrier class? Just asking for a friend

I actually killed 2 more ships in that round playing like that lol. About your issue, that is a known bug. I've already mentioned in my thread earlier about this that I recognise that post round seeing previous map issue that there might be serious memory allocation issues lurking. Things not getting flushed properly. This might be related to the issues my PC developed after 0.9.10, because I nver had this berfore that release. Not sure if WG picked up on it though. Also, when I link my thread here, who's account info is show in it?

Does it look like what I have experienced here? If so, try to lower grafic your settings.

Met @MacArthur92 in battle O7 Nice looking Champage! Enjoy the BF43

Really. The community warned WG about the bloody mess they find themselves in right now. Were you here when all that happened? Their best informed carrier players tried their utter best to help them out. The carrier rework with all its broken core issues is WG's vision.

One of the comments I read a lot when new modes or events come out is 'not worth it because of the bad rewards'. This should tell you the tug of war on priorities WG and it's self inflicted playerbase is at. Resource gathering >>>> gameplay

Really. If WG had actually listened to their community they wouldn't have had to deal with these issues in the first place.

Yeah sure, absolutely ^^

Rocketplanes. Carrier rework. Bye i guess?

Just remove the stupid rocketplanes already and replace them with additional bomber and torpedo reserves.

I did the unthinkable, wasted 2 million FXP, not on the Smalland, like any thinking WOWS captain would. No. I spent it on Hayate. It was all because of her... Ashigara. Once the thought of having her screaming at me on Hayate was seeded in my brain, I could not think of anything but her...

It's poor manouvrability i think. It is slow to turn and dodge, and thus predictable for the enemy and harder to dodge incoming ordinance for me then other DD's I am used to sail. It just feels very soft for some reason and it is not agile enough to dodge incoming fast torpedoes properly. I get damaged by swedish torpedoes a lot. It is not a good DD knife fighter for me, yet. I still have to get BFT and AR on Ashigara. It's a decent ship, but I find myself in a defensive stance most of the time. Conceilment is crucial for me so far, and I haven't maximized her guns yet. I am not sure she has carry potential much, but that could be just me getting used to it. I have no regrets getting her, even with me being prepared to be heavily dissapointed. I was not.

A Missy on the enemy team is usually not a pushover, because it is usually steered by a veteran with a 19 pnt captain and a good understanding of what it can and can not do. It's radar is pretty annoying for DD's ^^

I think not because it will drive down the fictional resell value of my veteran account

I noticed fighters being even more usless then normal. I got attacked by a carrier with already launched fighterplanes settled overhead, and when the carrier was done with it's attack run I noticed my figher planes still circeling above my ship and the carrier planes simply flying away from me uncontested.

Nice, anything you are running into worth mentioning? So this is slowly becoming the Hayate owners appreciation thread ^^ The only thing that is hard for me to get used to is how quickly her HP is eaten away in engagements with other DD's. I'm not used to sailing DD's that are this easily hit by enemies, so I can't mitigate much by manouvering. Every time I come out of an open water knife fight I'm taken by surprise about how much HP that fight has cost me. Young Ashigara has 13 points currently, so 6 points to go. Aside from my first match in which a 47% WR Kremlin player kept screaming at me which got me so distracted on chat that i ran myself into a stupid death, I've killed 4, 2, 2 and 3 ships in my matches so far. So she performs best in K\D and credits. I must say, she really is a relaxed creditmaker for a tier X. For me, 1 match tonight. Poor damage, crucial kills, good credits (no eco flags, just the camo 20% plus premium time which only makes 100k difference). Rest of screens below

I don't know man, I'm so confused right now. All I know is that when a carrier puts fighters on a specific spot, I usually sail my dd in another direction.

Really, just like in the rts days huh?
