Anyone have any experience with those weedwacker engines?
mtm78 replied to mtm78's topic in Off-Topic
I actually got the engine a bit earlier as the pre-order date said, calling customer service probably helped. Anyway, it's... well the engine itself is lighter as the Minn Kota even, but all the weight ofc is at the top. With the electroengine being behind the prop on the Minn Kota all the weight is pretty low. Which makes the transom drop quite a bit more, but I didn't mod the bracket yet so there is enough to do. Speed is ofc way better as with the Minn Kota but the noise is pretty bad. If I want to talk my kids have to come close or shout, and when it's full throttle don't even think about doing that ( and even then it's.. well it's an inflatable dingy with a chainsaw engine so you do the math :D :) Putting in a fixed floor would create so much more stiffness and it would surely help a lot. ps I got two blisters from trying to get weed out of the prop and grabbing the top to tilt it... yeah that top with the Minn Kota is just plastic housing... with the weedwacker it's the exhaust grid and engine cooling plate cover.. was a good thing I was on the water so enough cooling material available :D Ow and the best thing is, even with a full 5l Jerrycan I have lost 20kg off battery and cables and batterybox on my bicycle trailer. And I used maybe 1.25l for a 2 hour trip ( running engine on alternating speeds as it's brand new and should need about two fuel tanks of 'breaking in time'. ).- 9 replies

Deepwater torps, so battleships can have more fun because if you want to contest a cap, you can't hurt them
mtm78 replied to mtm78's topic in General Discussion
See above. WG wants you to choose what you can do, either torp smoke clouds or torp battleships. Both types of destroyers should be able to hurt battleships, ESPECIALLY since WG doesn't even consider roles in MM just classes. How do you think this would influence teamplay if MM can't balance them? It would be like radar, but hundred times worse if misdistributed. And mostly, destroyers don't need their versatility taken away.- 330 replies

Only tier 4 with defensive AAA, pair with Imperator for maximum seal clubbing. Solo she isn't that special I feel. -

There is a table posted in the interesting news discussion thread. On mobile so hard to link. It's iirc 2 secondes less compared with usn torpedoes mostly which is pretty good.- 330 replies

Stop crying. 1. who said it were DD players which said BB's shouldn't have defensive AAA? 2. the addition of a CHOICE in torpedoes is NOT A NEW TOOL. Torpedoes are already in the game ON the darn ships even, but WG had to castrate torpedoes because they influenced all classes equally ( this I agree with ). When having two ammo choices ( ammo choice = tool? So we should remove HE from battleships because they have 'to many tools' already?? ) WG has no more excuse to keep them neutered. 3...

mtm78 replied to zaaaaaaP's topic in General Discussion
It's IJN so fire chance is good. Specced with DE + flags I've gotten witherers with her no issue. Torpedoes are pretty good as well but angles are not, and as I said she is made off citadel ( look at her in armor viewer ). Most Yuubari owners are pretty salty still since old Yuubari was much better at killing planes ( no defensive AAA consumable, just higher raw AAA dpm ). Having the consumable + that 50% dispersion buff module was compensation for changing AAA. -
Lol yeah would have been the best thing since slices bread... until someone thought that DD's shouldn't have to be to 'complex' so they have to choose ammo BEFORE they start the game..... I could use some other pictures to illustrate the genius of that idea... but I would break forum rules.

1 Boris should be happily playing with his AMD gpu atm :) 2. Boris has a laptop, sure I think it's mxm but you go look for a 'nice Nvidia mxm' module and then tell someone who needs to ask for help how to switch his modules, and then help him sell the amd one to recoup some of the money. 3. I have 20k+ games in WoT, latest all with the same hd7850 as I'm still using now, never any issue. Sorry man, anecdotal evidence and all that ;)

Only buy if you're fond of her... I mean I <3 my Yuubari But you need to be a pretty good shot to make use of the +50% accuracy mod, and the ship is literally made off citadel. But she is a beauty! -

mtm78 replied to mtm78's topic in General Discussion
Because the max is a soft limit and you can still get games with 10 bb's per side? WG should make the deep water torps slower as the normal one's, so they punish passive camping BB's more than active one's. So yeah would be stealthy but if you use wasd.exe and minimap.exe right it should not be a problem for you as decent player. Now, camping potato's on the other hand.... and isn't that the complaint, battleships attracting plants / amoeba's which don't really move entire match and think the spotter plane is a natural combination to increase the range of their German BB guns. Yup weapon switching on every other surface combat vessel is fine comrade, but destroyers need to be gimped yet again so battleships can have more fun. Me? Not enjoying the BBaby meta? Wanting a fun and engaging gameplay experience for all classes? No way....- 330 replies

This isn't some small company, I think the chances of external statistics being more accurate as internal are silch. All external sites except mapple use WG api afaik, with mapple actually crawling all profile pages?- 330 replies

Credits weren't special for tier 7, I can do that in Belfast and Leningrad I think as well. But, the gameplay looks pretty solid. If I had the free xp 'freely' available I would get it just to have it and I would play it but not any more often as any other ship.

Also, if you combine Takao and Atago it's the second most played after MK ( edit: I really forgot to add Takao numbers to Atago )- 330 replies

mtm78 replied to mtm78's topic in General Discussion
Recent ( 2 week ) tier 8 cruisers Atago is one of the least played with I think only Pudding being played less ( MK by far the most though ). Doesn't look like heal would be enough, unless 203 also is rebalanced against IFHE or vice verse ( and tbh while I am a cruiser player mainly I do think IFHE might be toned down a tiny bit... ).- 330 replies

mtm78 replied to mtm78's topic in General Discussion
Tier X cruisers are the best balanced, but somehow that doesn't result in gameplay I really enjoy all that much. Is that me? Also I wouldn't really use tier 1 in any balance discussion I liked playing Yorck but and well any cruiser with enough range so I don't have to sit in that optimal range of a battleship.. problem is that with enough battleships per game this range get's longer and longer as you can't angle against all of them all the time. Cleveland can hug a waifu so yeah why not. Even Leander has smoke and good concealment so why not. It's not unplayable. Now imagine the gameplay you get with just 3 battleships, and now more than once a session- 330 replies

Having an answer to that would perhaps even alleviate this whole 'why does this queue always look filled with battleships' style of complaints ( it might be cognitive bias or me being unlucky and only logging in on times a lot of battleship players play as well.. ).- 330 replies

WG can't make the torps good enough to let the plants be good at killing battleships in time to offset the point gain, since what would happen then if you put one off those elusive unicums in one? Mistaken reply since it touched on same question ( hence the edit to that post ).- 330 replies

Those were totals sorted by tier 8 and class, for last two weeks. If it didn't include premiums how could it include 91k Tirpitz games ;) I think there were only 10k games in the Alabama ( for comparison ). edit: ws.today has been known to have issues ( it has for my personal stats ) so I am not saying these numbers are 100% accurate.- 330 replies

Which two spots are made into one? If it's the rear two where the superstructure is it's not as valuable since it is harder to land fires on the rear spot when Nelson is bow on.

heal ofc, can't have both on one line. Edit I am watching Nelson vod from early tonight on flamu's stream, he is saying it takes MASSIVE IFHE damage since it's 25mm all around ( yes even German BB overmatch ).
