My ship i build in "from the depths". Basically a giant mechanical lizard walking on the sea-bottom firing 150mm hesh shells from a minigun into the enemy ships belly.

Except that bb ap overmatches pretty much all cruiser armor. Only situation where he is ever better than ap in a bb is if you fight a nose-in battleship which you cant overmatch(except for brittish bbs ofc). Most people that fire he in battleships do so because they are stupid, this can be seen by them firing it all the time, rather than in the very few situations its actually good.

simple solution is just hardcode bb ap to always overpen dds.

Again, wouldnt work in practise, because the ships have such vastly differing playstyles. Take usn vs ijn for example, the usn would get both great aa and radar, while the ijn would get insta gibbed from the sky, and wouldnt be able to stop the usn gunboats from getting every single cap due to radar.

1. No one would disable minimap since that would hamper them, so its just a gimicky version of random battles. 2. Doesnt matter how the ships spawn, if there is very limited room to manouver, then the only useable ships will be those with hydro. 3. Doesnt work like that. Put only bbs in a match? Conquerer wins due to being able to stealth. Put only cruisers in a match? Something like a des moines with excellent stealth will always win. Put only dds in a match? Khaba, harugumo or any gunboat will always win. None of these gamemodes would work in practise, for various different reasons. Anyhow, the fun in this game comes from learning all the game mechanics and getting as good as you can, thats why it doesnt get repetitive, there is always room for improvement, and since you are fighting real people, each match will be different.

mogami is great fun with 155mm ifhe, ive actually liked all the jap cruisers up to the mogami, cant speak for the ibuki yet, but id there is only 1 stinker in the line, thats fine by me

I think you got it very wrong, good players get mad at shitty players that has played the game a ton, but just obviously have no interest in trying to get good, but rather blame their failures on matchmaking and cheats or whatnot. If someone comes on this forum with the worst stats imaginable, and asks for advice, and is actually open to absorbing said advice, i can guarantee you that he will get nothing but positive comments.

1. Would turn the game away from being tactic focused, to pixel-spotting 2. Would be completely and utterly unbalanced where only a certain few ships would be completely op while the vast majority would be useless 3. Could be fun, but i dont see how anything other than a stealthy radar light cruiser is ever gonna win. You should probably not focus on new content after merele 203 battles, you really havent explored the content that already is here yet ;)

You should focus more on what you can do to get better, not your team, as the vast majority of players in this game are far better than you

kutuzov, double credit flags, 2 million credit missions = complete a mission every two games ;) thats how i did it

Already got the musashi from coal, as that resource is so incredibly abundant, i like her, but it obviously means i cant buy her for fxp aswell :D I think ill follow the general advice and just wait patiently

Yup, the anniversary event is currently a joke, and just shows that wargaming dont care about their loyal players, they just want new ones

a line with a mix of cruisers and dds would be extremely annoying, just make some ships up that fits the playstyle of the line and make a full cruiser or dd line.

From what ive seen, the alaska has worse gun performance than the kronny, probably because it has moon arcs and a slower reload, that along with not having kronnys belt armor seems... debatable. As far as i can tell, alaskas only real advantage is aa.

watch some flamu videos, thats helped me a ton in improving at the game https://www.youtube.com/user/cheesec4t

Operations are really only a tiny little side gimmick, random battles is where the gameplay is at...

Way too arbitrary and complicated system that would never work as a game mechanic. All bbs need is to all have exposed citadels, and always overpen dds

A spotting dd should get 50%of the xp from the guy who used his spotting to shoot an enemy(so if a dd spots, and you have no line of sight, but still shoot the spotted enemy for 10k damage, the dd gets xp for 5k damage and you get xp for 5k damaga) This is how it works in world of tanks, and it basically means that by sitting far back damage farming, you won't get as much xp as if you were active, while it also encourages scouting. It's a great system

You are probably making entirely other mistakes, without realizing it.

The thing is tho, an exposed citadel only means that you cant show full broadside and get away with it, aka removing some retard proofing. Anyhow, for the most parts, other battleships will be the only thing able to citadel you anyways, so it would only multiply the effectiveness of skill.

Im lazy, so im jsut gonna check back on this thread from time to time, please post if the servers work again, otherwise please dont, to keep it clean, thx

Yeah, but in addition to their national weakness, they should ALL have exposed citadels, especially since that wont change their balance to cruisers all that much, since they will mostly be citing each other, it will just make them reward good play more.

@Yaskaraxx you are far to bad at this game to have any clue what you are talking about.

has any of my guesses been close? Can you give us a hint?
