Noobsplatter

If you think I will feel sad after reading your text....

I made a regarding karma a while back, but then I completly forgot about until now. I commend people that I see are doing great work (both friend or foe) or people who are just a blast to have in chat. But in the heat of battle it`s not always easy to notice someone else doing something good. My opinion however is that the limit of commending only 5 people per day is to little. Yes people also want more reports and I can understand their viewpoints but I disagree since I feel more commends are more important if one wants to focus on the more positive experiences of the game. Also, some people are bound to be reportabusing and that could ruin players chances to get the expanded commend/report options and the possible rewards for players of very good karma. In my experience I more often than not meet more players I feel deserves a commend but it`s mostly just first come first serve. Yes I do meet my fair share of splats but I don`t usually spend my reports that easily unless it`s very obvious someone is just there to ruin the game for their team. Reporting someone for being a splat however is not my cup of tea, we have all been splats and we will all have our games that we will splat gloriously.

I guess it might be easier to spot for me since I play on my living room tv . But when I drive my BB I fire first one shot and then adjust my other shots to where I anticipate he will turn. However if his turrets are pointing away and he seems to be tunnelvisioning I may just let it rip

And WG said we wouldn`t get subs.

Studies show that 50% of the people involved in those 80% hp losses love it.

True, I just don`t feel the need to have it there all the time but I forgot to mention that

Hah, very simple. You troll them so hard they pop a blood vessel and as they are about to unleash the fury of a thousand cats trapped in a box shaken in a paint blender on their keyboards, you just right click and ignore. Then you fire up your victory movie as it depicts their IRL reaction flawlessly.

When you aim in bino mode you can press alt to see shell flight time of the location you are aiming at and you have a long line with numbers that you can use to see how far ahead to aim depending on flight time. Now you have the basic white line of the torpers. Then you look at the ship, is it turning? How does does the smoke from his smokestack look like? Using this information you adjust your aim and fire. This is the gunnery equalent of the white line. There are also big differences. The shell travel time is far shorter than torpedo travel time. Shell reload time is shorter than torpedo reload time.

You should consider that a flattering trade off. If you do not have issues vs 1 countership I take that as you being a good player, 2 counterships preventing you from doing anything at all is a good thing because you are occuping twice the number of ships. For the rest of the team this means a 14vs13 situation for as long as you can stay alive and keep the attention of the ninjas, you do have a long range as well so you should be able to get shots off while you are dodging torps.

Using the white line works in lower tiers, in higher tiers the white line is just used as a indicator to predict patterns of movement. You then based on these patterns try to predict future movements and launch torps accordingly, if you blindly spam torps at the while line, you gonna have a bad time. Of course there are exceptions but in good vs good scenarios that should pretty much sum it up.

Had 7 yesterday, then had a game in my khab where I hunted enemy DD`s and tried to make smoke cover for our forces. It went as planned and the only DD that got away was a enemy shima that evaded detection like a pro since he just had 1 turret left and did not feel like fighting a khab with that. Sounds great right? But ofc I was to pleased and had to type here kitty kitty, come out and play etc. This is all meant as a joke ofc but after the game my karma had dropped a point . Not that it`s a big deal but still, why wg?

I hope that rewards for reaching Rank 1 will be shown. I didn`t participate in pilot season since I didn`t know one would get to try kitakami. I didn`t play in season 2 since It did not say anything about winning kitakami (while having kitakami reward for base xp in random games ). If they have secret reward for reacing rank 1 in third season, then maybe I will try it but only because I have hopes of it giving kitakami

Rudder upgrade module and if it`s still hard, swap superintedent for vigilance. No more problem, want more charges for ability? Get prem charges. I have both rudder and vigilance in my khab, works wonders for hunting DD`s. Also, that high alpha is countered by a long reload time. Better to nerf spotting range a bit so stealth torping means bigger gaps between torps. But then again, if a wave of torps are coming towards your broadside...deserved so much

Sounds like bad luck or you focused more on trying to avoid hits completly (but failed since IJN DD`s have good shell arcs) rather than where to take the hits. Never let a incoming shell hit turrets if at all possible. Engines go our pretty often and that is why I captain skill so I can still keep going. Then again, if enemy cruisers can hit you with ease, you are to close and should keep to torp spotting for team until cruisers have decided they did not want anymore instagib from your bottlesheeps or are dead and then you smack the little DD. Sweet spot distance in my opinion for SN DD`s is between 11-14km for cruisers and dont forget, your guns are capable of hurting cruisers and battleships, so while spotting for torps you can hammer away at the same time so you get xp and you are spotting for your team win-win.

Being easily detected does not make it bad at hunting. As long as you know how to pinpoint where you are spotted from or you pinpoint where torps come from. You are faster and you can take a beating(maybe not nerfed kiev ) from guns (while praying your turrets dont get hit). And once you find your target, you unleash hell. Ofc if the enemy DD is hugging it`s cruisers you will just have to bide your time while spotting torps for your team long before they reach and wait/help team get rid of cruisers. My khab is my favorite DD hunter and the fact that they see me at 9km just means they get more time to scream before I find them Another thing that might make people go rawr to much torp spam is that US DD`s got torp range buffed so you will see a lot of them trying to stealth torp, and even more of them trying to do so after SN DD`s came around. As far as balance goes, I think the excellent stealth of the top tier is a bit overkill compared to the long ranges of the torps. My suggestion for balance here would be to increase surface detectability (on US and IJN DD) but to keep air detectability as it is now since air detectability does not feel OP in anyway from my experience in my shima.

Khab is love, khab is life

As mentioned before, the aim assist shown here does not do what experienced players can already do with information in the game (aka lead and hit over mountains). But what I saw in this vid was that he was so blinded by the assist that he completly disregarded the course changing of the targeted ships, if he has grinded this far but still does not notice that then it just shows that it effectively ruins peoples ability to learn proper leading. I pity him for the splat he would be below my bow

I don`t mind the spotting buff on torps even though I hardly ever play my shima anymore since khab is love,khab is life. I did have to get used to the new detection ranges though since I failed horribly in the start by reacting to late to incoming torps based on how much time I had pre buff. I have also made adjustments to certain ship upgrades and captain skills to counter this buff so it`s not that bad. On a more unserious note, this is how it felt to be torp heavy DD`s right after the buff.

I agree that multiple cap points is better but I do like the 1 cap points better than the old one base each but no time to cap and a ninja DD hiding to make it a draw. Then again, even if you put 10 caps on a map, some very special people are gonna ignore them no matter the cost.

Did not have that much time to play today. But my last game turned out to be very decent. I could have stayind in cap as well but I had already commited to smoking the cap for allies and rushed into a yamato,montana and a iowa to draw their attention away from my team, I barely survived and after the 3 BB`s where dead I could not reach back to cap but it was ok since my team finished the capping.

That is because most of them have not discovered the secrets of the stronk ships yet. Cruisers are my favorite meals in my russian DD`s.

I gotta agree with you on the BB sounds, I almost fell into a coma of dissapointment when I heard the new yamato sounds. Luckily I got away with crying for about 30 minutes. I am sure some sounds on certain ships are better now but it`s all so bland now, the bigger caliber guns just don`t sound bigger anymore to me

Hey now, at least khab is manly enough to show itself. Also, if it foams and pollutes the chat with phrases like pewpewpew, it`s probably me driving it
