why have naval war sims been so neglected over the years?
mtm78 replied to fletch67's topic in Off-Topic
Harpoon omg I was like... 12 years old back then Age of Sail was bad imo, I remember thinking my pc was to slow to play it but then I heard from a friend who had the best you could get atm and it was a slide show for him as well. Naval Action on the other hand ( while not released ) looks like a game where I could also sink some hours in. -
Well I would recon it would use the same plotting code the bots use in PVE and I remember quite well they mentioned at some time that bots will crash into islands, sail in reverse or in circles at the start of a match and so on
-
I'm unsure of what you mean with this? The pay model is equal for everyone, and the pre order ships are for premium vehicles really good. Not only do they make good credits and can use any captain from that nation, they are also not bad compared with their same tier counterparts. The Gremy is actually my best true 'DD' ( having only played USN dd's up to Benson ), with my Sims being really good in both hunting other DD's but also with it's longer range then the tier X USN DD it can harass bigger ships ( staying outside detection range even ). Yubiari is different, it's a cruiser which plays as a DD but you can have massive games in her.
-
Very true, it only matters if there is no longer a direct tie between the xp for captain skills and research tree.
-
I know but I feel having even one plane more only for a captain skill is to much. Maybe they should increase the dps based on the skill, as more experienced air groups would be more effective. It would represent something like a 'veteran' unit. That is easier to balance vs a captain without the skill than having more planes I think.
-
It was a jest, yes there are some special people who done this and no that usually did not end well ( for their own team ). I been tk'd by a 'friendly' Sims shooting torps at an enemy way out of his range, but it was only once in all my battles ( well perhaps more but that one was from full health in a Baltimore as only tier IX in the darn battle so it rustled my jimmies more then usual ). In general if you like the concept and can't wait, spending some money isn't such a bad thing. I got the light fleet package while I was already in cbt, and I don't regret it a single moment. Sure it's cbt and some patches will be horribly unbalanced but the gameplay overall and the promise for a polished version down the road, well it's like a wet undie to a virgin
-
sorry for coming across 'rowdy' wasn't the intention.
-
Doesn't that clearly show the captain skill might be a bit to strong even for a fifth skill?
-
He didn't loose his temper he just replied in a respectful manner to someone who might not deserve such replies since he clearly was not doing the same. Also, the information in his post was factually correct, and there is no rule about not using wot lingo. There even is no rule about potentially confusing people, if that where true no one could actually speak proper English and use paragraphs and bullet lists, that would surely confuse people who aren't used to them. He also didn't use stats as argument for one point or another, he used stats in response to some ad hominem which wasn't called for, in fact it added nothing to the thread of any sort. It was, in my opinion, just posted to create unrest and to get someone to respond in a way less civil manner then HellSpunk did. As to the response to the thread, yeah XVM whores or better WN8 whores would go for damage, but going for damage isn't always what wins games so often they also just play for win rate and not just damage. Even then, it's not bad having even a damage farming unicum on your team, he is still doing more then a tomato ever would contribute.

I thought that thing just turned off the collision warning sound, nice to have such well written in game descriptions / tooltips
-
Why are you defending 'that guy' by attacking HellSpunk Edit: corrected that negrep btw ;)
-
it's not a new concept, it's Pay2Beta and it's especially scary if they buy a Sims and play it for their first game
-
I am on that guy's ignore list, because I was a troll or something. Guess you will soon be there as well
-
Well but I know some unicums which don't like playing in platoons the whole time, it lowers the difficulty level to much and makes it harder for them to get constant high damage games as it has to be shared with two other unicums. So if you need to be in platoon to counter XVM reliably there is some more merit to MGU's stance then you're giving him no?
-
So tell me, is it really as bad as MGU claims? I seriously doubt it but my opinion doesn't carry weight as I'm not even close to unicum levels.
-
I am not sure, it depends on the battle. If the battle is close, the carriers should focus him and go for the victory, if the battle is one sided going for him wouldn't increase the chance of winning so going for max damage before being sunk would make sense. edit: also, some good players make bad target's especially for CV's atm with how fast even BB's can turn. So I recon more people now would be going for 'easy' targets and leave you alone. But, MGU, I am sorry you feel the green apples are ganging up on the blue berries and purple ( oopsy... name me a purple fruit or vegetable? ). Maybe it is because as you said yourself, in most matches as a blue/purple you meet nothing higher then greens so naturally they will at least seem to gang up on you a lot. It's not always because of XVM you know ;)
-
He does sound a bit like a good player saying only above average players gang up on potential threats... MeanGreenUnseen, I would urge you to watch some Circon. He is a purple and I don't have fingers and toes enough to count how many times he makes tactical decisions based on his XVM knowledge ( both openly by commenting, or evident through his gameplay ). Not only the players worse then you (ab)use XVM, it's happening all across the board. And tbh, those purple's do a better job at it as well
-
Those Russian guys have pretty incredible stats tbh, I heard from sharana I think. To me that almost doesn't sound like testing the game but more like exploiting any imbalance they can find ( and tbh that is a great way of running a CBT as it gives the devs straight data to balance things ). Btw even I'm just slightly above 50% atm
-
Y u so serious Btw I am quite certain I would be greenish and you green or blue, not much carrying you're doing atm
-
All perfectly valid examples but you left out one important one: with XVM I will know that you in your cruiser will be usefull as AA escort and you will defend my BB from pesky DD's trying to torp me from short range. That for me is the most important aspect of XVM, that and 4 as I'm actually quite lazy
-
Also, got to remember.. I hear vodka alters the moral compass... many babies come from it!

A hypothetical conversation with a new player who came for "World of Battleships"
mtm78 replied to Figment's topic in General Discussion
If true I must have been in the border area of the smoke, but even if so how can I tell if from the inside the smoke looks uniform? ( btw I even thought it was 100% uniform and you would be just as hidden 50m inside the smoke border as 250 meter ( random numbers, don't even know how large an area the smoke spreads to )). It really feels like they changed detection inside smoke, and I have had situational awareness for some patches and I never noticed it going of for so long after shooting. -
I suggest you seek help from a therapist Terroriser_666. Btw, this troll kid: http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.php?/topic/413607-096-multi-hit-log-v20a-hitlog-inbattle-wn8-damage-log-no-xvm-required/page__fromsearch__1 look at the list of mod developers. Now, please be so kind to stop making a fool out of yourself by trying to argue about things you clearly have no idea on. ps I already answered your 'survey' so please quit being a troll and leave this topic to people capable of understanding what other people are telling them. edit: btw you look like a baddy trying to act smart and act like he knows why XVM should not come ( so people don't see his stats ).

WG just needs to ask Disney for some ( sorry couldn't help myself the movies my kids watch seem to rub off ). Slightly less off topic.. when I was a sea cadet I loathed winter time, we sailed in steel boats called a Lelievlet and even in fresh water steel rusts so winter time meant sanding and painting instead of sailing ( which I liked lots more ).
