Well Isokaze would have been such a bad example And no, I actually have had tier 4-5 battles lately, it's not as polarized as some want to make believe. If 5 ONLY saw tier 7, tier 4 should always be top tier... and they are not.

Selective quoting for the win!

You base your 'gun upgrade' statement on your own experiences or the actual penetration graphs of Warspite and Bayern? Because Bayern isn't that far off from Warspite, Warspite's shell is heavier which means more force but it also loses more penetration with distance ( not sure why, heavier != diameter and might even imply shell being longer which would be good for drag coefficient ).

Yeah read the edit, it doesn't really apply to you but I'm puttin my foot down here hard ( ) and with great resolution as I really feel the worst aspects of this game are sadly some of the players ( in particular those who think sitting in second line or even further back and launching torpedo's in the general directory of the enemy spawn is an acceptable and viable gameplay tactic ). edit: and there is the question of how 'legitimate' applying a 'stupidity' check would be, it would disqualify 1/2 of the players beforehand. What some baddy thinks might be legit... or not even a baddy, it could be someone one kill short of a Kraken who just thinks it's 'considering how close he is to that medal' not a bad idea to do a risky shot. Basically, don't do it, ever, period, no discussion possible. I've had a couple of opportunities yesterday to launch torps at a BB which was brawling with an allied BB, I didn't because I could not predict what the allied BB was doing ( he was not playing that smart tbh ) and the chances of me hitting my ally were such I just couldn't justify it. Also, it would be cheap damage because it wouldn't make much difference in winning the actual game ( game was already lost due to cap point disadvantage and the BB was one of my last surviving allies ). Maybe I would have taken the shot if I knew it could win the game though

How about you go into what I said then.... you say you use communication, so you type in chat? Do you wait for a response? I bet you don't ( twice I said that, answer it.... ). The reason I highly doubt this is the fact that chat is ignored by to many people, and some of them will just be braindead idiots there are others who just don't speak English. So, you're typing ( in the couple of seconds you got before your launch windows is gone again ) in different languages ASKING if it's ok to torp from second line? I don't think so. Or wait, you said: if they are aware of them. So ffin what, you say you launched torps, now I got to turn and give that BB my broadside because you wanted some free damage at my expense? Or maybe I was going to a specific location to get MY torps off, which I got the right to launch since I am in front taking all the risks. Why do I need to watch behind me if some stupid [edited]idiot can't control his trigger finger while also not having the balls to be in front if you wants to use his torpedo's? I'll give you the answer: I don't. I know you and I like you ( might not be obvious for the casual observer ) but the same applies to you. Do it to my DD once to often and I will spend the entire battle sitting behind you spamming torpedo's left and right of you, asking you if you like that kind of gameplay. Ow yeah, that might disqualify you as I know you're not the kind of guy who does this the whole match over and over, but there are too many who do

Use AP at broadsiding cruisers from medium to short range ( make sure they are engaged prior to you starting to land those citadels ).Start fires on BB's, wait for repair -> start new fire(s) and watch the damage rack up ( least useful damage though since fire damage can be healed but it does cause BB's to panic as you will die when it hits zero ( your health.. ) even if you got heals waiting but on cooldown ). And contest caps, hunt torpedo boats ( don't go brawling with Faragut's and the likes though, you're not going to compete ). It's I think widely considered the turd in the line, it's certainly better now than it was before the turret hp fix ( you were lucky before if you could end a match with a working turret, usually you lost two within the first minutes )... yeah indeed, you only got two turrets, imagine how useful you would be without both off them ;)

edit: tbh, 23 games is to low to give a l2p answer, everyone had to l2p at 23 battles in. But, 23 battles in and buying tier VI premium and coming to the forum because he loses money -> PEBKAC.

Get's to shoot Wakatake with Omaha: MM is working as intended

I don't think there are any companies which share that kind of information.. Now, I do think WG should be more active on forums, but I don't agree that they need to give specific information about what is being tested at the time. Conceptually yes, conceptual discussions are something all dev's should do for their games, if only to see if their intended concept is being understood by the players and if not what is causing them to see the game different than it was intended.

Hey I am not a forum moderator, don't attribute their actions to me please

Nah, what you get through Sebastian isn't news it's rumors and gossip. If you want to sponsor him by viewing his cheap wordpress blog, be my guest. But don't come 'discussing' that nonsense on an official forum, or well do but make clear it's just rumors and gossip. If you want official information, use shipcomrade for instance. No leaks, no [edited], no nonsense, just news. ps. EU has lost both Ectar and Brynd, I hope we will get more forum activity when those are both replaced.

You got the best signature I seen in a long time, you even had me scared for a moment

Easiest example: head on ship, you HAVE to torp him ( can't reposition due to time/any valid reason ). Even narrow spread head on will waste 90% of the salvo, while a stream of single torpedo's can be aimed individually.

Change position. go behind the Kuma and start launching random torps around him. Then ask him if he is enjoying the game.

So, YOU think LEAKS are fine? Who would have thought

I don't know if you're aware of it, but I don't need you to tell me how teams win games ( and second line torping is not one of them )... Let's agree to disagree, and I stand by what I said about second line torping [players]. And yes I am saying someone who launches from second line is not playing it right, because the situations as you describe them don't happen in randoms with random people. If you type: watch out I will launch torps from ..... and then fire, or do wait for him to type: well ok that's fine, do it? I bet you don't wait, or well tbh. I should say I've NEVER seen this happen. I have seen someone type: I am launching torps from XYZ... Like that matters, even a tiny bit If there is someone in front of you, THAT PERSON is taking more risks, and you got NO RIGHT to limit his movement. Unless you have prior permission, which only happens on voice coms. If this happens to me in game I either happily eat the torps and enjoy the idiot who fires from behind turn pink, or if I feel less gullible I will change position and start launching my torps from behind the person in question. Second line torping = looking for free/cheap damage which is 99% of the times AT THE EXPENSE of the guy in front. Some people don't like that, I am one of them. I especially got this issue with IJN CA's using torps from behind their DD's ( like I said, do this to often and I will start launching from behind that CA, and then ask if HE likes that. Usually they get the point and stop being idiots. Even worse is DD's launching from behind my CA/CL, mostly because I can't disengage and position myself behind them and return the favor.

It's not worth considering at all, there is no way legitimizing the scum which ruins this game, saying their playstyle is 'acceptable' is just utter nonsense and you know it, even said so yourself that the 'potential benefit' ( which is highly debatable as there is no legitimate second line torping without prior communication/consent ) even if it exists would outweight the utter stupidity of giving idiots a way of pointing to the 'new mechanic' and saying that if 'proofs' that second line torping is not a bad habit which should be penalized by death.

There is another way for threads to be 'death', it's when we start discussing things totally irrelevant to the OP's ( [insert certain trait] notion

Because trajectory isn't linear?

I had 2 unassigned, and a lot of my premium captains are still in my reserve ( though I never use them ). Seriously, I got 44 reserve bunks and I got them all filled as well, swapping captains can be a drag because it usually means an extra step. I could dismiss a lot of the captains I guess though, but everytime I want to start on cleaning I got this 5 min cooldown before that captain is actually dismissed

Exactly the same as on Hipster? Who would have thought ;)

Did you make sure you got as many captains 'assigned' to your ARP ships as possible? Sure it's not a fix as you can/will have dual captains for some ships but it's better then letting them all sit in reserve.

Can you please tell me who these people are supposed to be?

It's still your fault, you divisioned with an idiot there <seriously> No really, you still shot those Anyway,There is no way OP's request can be legitimized, I would love for this thread to die a silent death eventually
