I watched the last 2 videos and I think they'll be really helpful for new players. The ones we used to have are kinda outdated. Good job and keep it up :)

I can nuke a full hp Des Moines or Worcester in my BB in seconds. BBs can be played how they should be played, yet not everyone is capable of this. Same goes for the DDs and cruisers that die in the first 5 minutes of the game. I think your damage output is kinda low for playing battleships, perhaps make better use of the AP shells?

You got the steel and coupons to buy the ship you deserved. They gave you the option however to not buy the ship instead and save your steel for the Stalingrad.

This is not a simulator. To balance the game it is like this. As others already suggested play the other classes as well to learn the strengths and weaknesses. I am pretty sure you set as often a fire with you first shot as those DDs....

But the answer to that question was standing in Ranked Battles Season 10 announcement. https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/game-updates/ranked-10/ Sorry, I still don't understand the issue, but well perhaps someone else does :) And that screenshot says nothing about a JL flag.

I don't understand. You already knew before the season started what flag you would get. Did I miss something?

Pretty manoeuvrable ship with nice guns. It is funny to citadel BBs at a bigger range, but the dispersion can be against you. I like the ship, but the overpens on broadside cruisers makes me cringe so now and than. I can’t really compare her with Stalingrad, because I don’t have that one yet. I think Donskoi is a more reliable ship, but has a totally different playstyle. (Really hoping for a tier 10 Donskoi version ;D) You can read the review of LWM about it, that is always a nice one. Nelson is easier to play and less frustrating :)

Atm there are still reasons to pick the 8km’s. I liked them vs hardpushing teams or DDs that try to scout you. The loss of that bit concealment is probably just enough to make them useless. I liked my 8s :( Now I also need to get rid of my double spotter plane I guess

I think the 8km torpedoes on Zao will become obsolete now, but I have to test. Would be a shame though :(

Double tap “x” so that you can be sure to have the lock on advantage. I believe the lock-on bug still exists.

Welcome to Ranked. WG decided to make this great gamemode available to tier 5 so that players can quit the game early instead of grinding to tier 10.

OP just wants to spam walls of torpedoes to get dev strikes. He refuses to learn and adapt. RPF does make Kagero a winner and the ship doesn't need to score torpedohits. Kagero needs to scout and finish of other DDs in the mid late game while torping enemies. Yet OP doesn't want to do this and keeps being stubborn.

I break down this quote: "For me it made playing torpedo boat much harder, because when i'm rpfed my torps don't come as surprise to anyone at all. And on mentioned shima you need surprise factor to hit torps, you NEED. due to RPF actually all this is less exciting to me." Torping in the higher tiers is already more difficult and it is easier to go for damage over time than at once, so I suggest to not launch all your torpedoes at once. Also no one knows exactly whether you torped or not, because RPF doesn't tell. RPF does tell where there most nearby enemy is, so this prevents you from running into another DD and dieing, which seems more valuable to me than players knowing where a possible enemy is. Communication wise in a Random battle I wouldn't be surprised if the guy with RPF didn't even let his team know. "Btw before even RPF was in game i managed to die to torps in my dd.. who did not ? What was your point again ? Dude we are talking about 6,6k games ... if i never died to torps in dd I would be GOD himself." I thought you had a Shimakaze, but you didn't. Anyhow, RPF makes it possible for you to dodge torpedoes and makes you able to hit other DDs you don't see with torpedoes. So don't torpedo the other guy when you are located, this is an obvious waste. "If i start only flanking my team will never cap anything and If I go play coop with my sub 58% wr and leave all those skilled 40% wr RPfers I will not get chain krakens anymore. Bots are too demanding and too good, I refuse to accept this challenge ! Thanks for your useless tips - but I will keep farming top1 with "real players" against bots I may not be able to do that well." Well to improve your skills you could start taking these "useless" tips instead of blaming it on the game mechanics. RPF can be seen as a buff and nerf to DD players and I also think the game is balanced around it, so it is very unlikely that they will take it away. If they would take it away it would make the Shimakaze really terrible. Running into any DD with a Shimakaze and you still have to turn your guns makes you just auto lose. "Btw Z52 not good gunship ... oh my ... this thing with good usage of AP and smoke/sonar dirty trick can gun down ANY OTHER DD. I cannot believe i even respond to someone who said Z52 must have RPF to win surprise fights against other dds. If you have your cooldowns ready - you crap on any other dd." It kinda depends on the level you look, because the smoke/sonar trick is as old as the first black-white television. I looked at your stats and I think you should continue with that line. It is an easier torpedo boat than the IJN torpedo line and you might find it more fun to play. Good luck with the tips :)

What you are saying is simply wrong. Using RPF on a not so good gunship, like Shima/Z52, makes you able to pick the fight. I usually know what ship my RPF is pointing at and since I also mostly know the HP pool I know whether I want to gun fight it or not, otherwise I reposition so that when I spot it my team can help me out. You also need the skill to have your guns ready when you make contact. Using RPF on a gunship makes killing DDs super easy. YY + radar + RPF = an easy win in Randoms. You almost make me think you are that guy that sits in smoke that gets killed by torpedoes actually... I also disagree with @Shaka_D, because I think the gameplay would have become very stale, and it made playing torpedo ships a lot easier. OP, just take out the DD with your Shimakaze and go flank or play Coop. Flanking from the start in a world without RPF is only fun for you imo. I like playing IJN DD torpedo boats like this, it is a lot more exciting. Probably one of the most difficult DD lines now. EDIT: Easier DD torpedo boat line are the Germans. EDIT 2: Switch on Last Known Ship positions and Ship Names on your minimap (click gear above minimap during battle).

OP Community has sent you a PM

I hope this helps you out a bit. http://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Ship:Economy

Could have been useful on the Montana during Ranked Battles. However after the CV rework you will see carriers more often so nay for the future. Random Battles will receive a soft limit on DDs next patch, see patch notes: https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/game-updates/update-0710-halloween/ When you are in battle you can click on the gear of the minimap. Switch on "Last known position" and "Ship names". This will make it very easy for you to see where the DDs are. Almost every battle all of them get spotted from the start. If not, and it is a Japanese DD missing, it will mostly like try to flank one of the sides. This is pretty rare. I would have used RPF as well. Z52 has pretty bad concealment so you want to avoid having to turn your guns towards the target when he is already shooting at you or already be on your way out before you get spotted. With its fast torpedo reload you can also easily torpedo smoke while using RPF as a guide of where to torp. So I would have picked this one: http://shipcomrade.com/captcalc/0100000000000011011000000000001119 As a DD you are always a priority target so it is always the entire enemy fleet who will shoot you. Knowing the exact number doesn't make any difference, besides you should already know who will shoot you before you engaged the fight. Saving your guns or torp tubes can make a difference.

No, because it is exclusive is a good point, but a bit too late for this season. I am interesting to see how it goes. I personally don’t believe Stalingrad gives an advantage to teams without one. Will see what happens. Good luck and have fun, especially the carrier players for this last KotS? :)

I do understand that, but I am here to share my opinion about it and also gave them a suggestion to make money in a different way, but well you probably already read that... Before we have a Tirpitz B (Black Friday), Tirpitz C (Christmas), Tirpitz N (New Year), Tirpitz H (Halloween), etc. EDIT: They also made CVs more easily, so why this I wonder :P

Yes, sent me a PM when you get a DD in your team who doesn't want to cap because he thinks Tirpitz B has radar, or something similar. EDIT: You can't blame them as well. It is a different ship anyway.

Because not everyone will understand that these ships are exactly the same.

You don’t have one, so it makes sense. Spending 40 euros for a duplicate with a simple black camo doesn’t. So it might be nice to pull new buyers over the line, but the same could have done with the normal ship version if they gave it a black perma camo, with an option to buy it for those that already have the ship. That way it seems to me they can sell more without making this game unnecessarily confusing.

One of them was free to earn and the other one not. I am simply not looking forward to have a B version of every ship while it only offers a different camo. Why don’t they give all ships, silver or gold, the option to buy a perma Black Friday camo on Black Friday? That way people can buy a premium camo for the ships they want and WG sells doubloons. That way they don’t make this game more confusing.

Now they are making the game more complicated without adding any new content....

I am a positive person. It can't get worse than we have right now.
