    Toilet bomb on Skyraider is a classic. Also PEGI might raise a complaint about biological weapons, should poopbomp appear in game.
  2. Panocek
    AD Skyraider, stock Midway plane could carry up to 8k lb worth of freedom, yet they carry only 2x1600lbers or two aerial torps. And then you have brits carpet bombing with planes unsuitable for the task so carpet bombing with torpedoes is never off the table when it comes to WG. All in one squadrons when, as WG made provisions quite a few patches ago

    Disappoint its no Essex/Taiho, just repaste of Midway.

    ST - armor-piercing rockets

    Panocek replied to Tanatoy's topic in Development Blog

    Guessing AP rockets would be German CV gimmick. Alongside with HE bombs and GZ bomb drop pattern for extra speschul. TiTs say hello to anything, as long as you don't try to smack main belt with them.

    Which line for a newb

    Panocek replied to Jolbe69's question in Newcomer Questions

    Welcome to US standard battleships, also plagued by all-or-nothing armor scheme, so any HE capable cruiser will be more than happy to farm such immobile exp pinata. Any other BB line is faster While IJN battleships, and especially battlecruiser Kongo have worse main belt armor than US standards, its irrelevant as "armored all around" layout, present on Kongo and Fuso makes them pretty much immune to small and medium caliber HE as well protects from overmatching AP shells with modicum of angling. There is no use of tough armored belt when literally entire ship is valid target. Unfortunately, from Nagato onwards IJN also embraces all-or-nothing armor, thus Nagato can be seen as downgrade in terms of protection. Even more so as she will meet 380mm or bigger guns in very regular intervals.

    LM on Mino - Y or N

    Panocek replied to Pow_tae_toe's topic in Cruisers

    Legendary mod on Minotaur is for memes, you stack it with Smoke Mod1 to get almost 49s of smoke laying. You be the judge if its meta enough for you.

    Wargaming by themselves made only one game - World of Tanks. Any other game, WoWs, WoWp, WoTBlitz, WoWsBlitz, WoWs Legends are made by other studios and WG is merely publisher for those. And I doubt Wargaming proper would give too detailed directives how to game when expected sales are met. Any "financial success" from CV REEEwork came from releasing frozen assets in shape of premium carriers for sale... Sales you would have trickling in all the time if Lesta didn't decided to remove them for what, two years? And then, I still believe it would be easier to rebalance RTS than coming up with this retardation
  8. Panocek
    And to make CV "console friendly". But then, if memory serves me right, WoWs console team refused to add this shipshow to their version of the game

    Can we get a battle mode of historic accuracy?

    Panocek replied to Lord_Kazuki's topic in General Discussion

    This. And then, for two years straight WG does only content that can be quickly and directly monetized, usually in shape of lootboxes, directives or other grindfiestas. Anything not bringing direct immediate revenue is permanently on hold, like new, or even restoring old Operations.

    Any cruiser line would do with possible exception of British light cruisers (main branch ending with Minotaur), given how fragile they are. But then, you don't rely on armor in a cruiser to begin with Considering upcoming changes to russian cruiser line in not too distant future, you might want to research and purchase tier 5, Kirov as she will be turned into premium. That way you will get one premium ship, with improved credit gains (not by much, given its tier 5) for free. Copypasting my brief ship lines description, if you can stand wall of text

    If you stick to "meta" ships, then 150 slots should be more than plenty. Granted, that goes somewhat against "waifu collector" AL, but if someone is hardcore f2p, some corners have to be cut. And even then, I recall being able to expand dorm to 5 slots, 3rd slot in tactical class, expand port to 200 and get Taiho party skin with all the free gems, be it mission rewards, events or apologems. Not bad for weeb f2p game
  14. Panocek
    And then Tash torp stats are... lacking. There is a possibility of me going slightly bonkers on D3 map, as I sit on 13/15 blueprints for Chapagun. 2nd one Though when I compared tbtsk and "supposedly better" Bel/Nep/Seat/Chapaguns... I had hard time noticing the difference. HE guns were noticeably better against light targets, but 6 shells per salvo could have something to do with it. And then there was issue of overkilling target and waiting for reload, usually longer than tbtsk. Mixed armament IMO is way to go when going with similar ships, be it front or back
  15. Panocek
    Bit better against light and medium, but falls VERY flat against heavy. Also if wiki is to be trusted, twin 130 is the only DD gun without 360 firing arc. Which may or may not be relevant on auto Working as intended?

    Friesland: before you spend your FXP

    Panocek replied to __Helmut_Kohl__'s topic in General Discussion

    1v1 on Ocean is THE best condition to narrow down position of single DD. No islands to block LoS, no secondary sources of plane detection.
  18. Panocek
    I don't have an issue with russian ships, I have an issue with WG balans department. And if you actually look back, first two and a half "bussian rias" lines were actually balanced and had playstyle to them.

    What's wrong with honing sarcasm skills and general shitposting?

    LOL russian cruisers split coming next

    Panocek replied to koliber_1984's topic in General Discussion

    Or, in wows terms, mere knowledge of Moskva humping one of the strategically placed islands having two out of three caps within radar range can prove to be quite effective deterrent from doing teamwork things

    Friesland: before you spend your FXP

    Panocek replied to __Helmut_Kohl__'s topic in General Discussion

    Friesland relies on ambushes on enemy CV squadrons, something she can pull off with balans 2.3km aerial detection, rather high AA dps, DFAA as well USN grade smoke in emergency. What if... WG wants to destroy solo yolo DD gameplay to make room for submarines If rockets would prove to be "too effective" they would be nerfed long time ago. Heck, WG was able to hotfix flying shima in what, one week? But that was threat to main audience, not some lolibotes.

    Panocek replied to koliber_1984's topic in General Discussion

    The same "radar range rework" enabled Baltimore to stealth radar And then you had Chapayev with almost 2km stealth radar window since 2016 Or, you know, Radar could act as dispersion buff against ships within range instead Sauron eye. As long as concealment will stay binary in action, any buttons giving "I see you" will swing "OP stealth" to "UP stealth".

    Secondaries and german BBs is lose-lose scenario to begin with.

    Panocek replied to RamboCras's topic in General Discussion

    Good enough by T7 standards, even more so when/if Narai returns. And then you can plant IFHEmarck captain for 32mm pen.
