    Tips on aiming

    People STILL haven't realized that BBs are very hard to play properly?

    Ship. cats.

    Implying dogs wouldn't be better.

    What is best Japanese line of ships?

    imo, the best the japanese techtree can offer right now are its high tier cruiser.

    I [edited] hate destroyers.

    It's ok mate, let it all out. Once you've calmed down think about what could have happened, what could you do to avoid it and keep getting better with each match at avoiding destroyers and shooting at then. I too sometimes feel like raging when every [edited]part of the enemy team is being covered by Clevelands or I find 4 cruisers in front of me in my BB and they burn me to death faster than I can kill then.
  5. Running time of attack planes into the circle should be allways the same for all attack planes. Bettwen 2 or 3 seconds locked into the circle before the drop imo. Consequentially, circle would be smaller for lower tiers and bigger for the high tiers because it has to take into account the speed of the planes.

    the saddest truth is that no one...

    Happened to me too. 3 CLs (2 Phoenix and 1 Omaha) chasing after a permaspotted Minekaze. Not only the Minekaze survived and went on to kill me in my Zuiho, he also torped and killed those 3 CLs. To the question of why didn't you attacked the Minekaze? Well, she was being chased by 3 CLs and I thought that a long as I kept her permaspotted she would be killed. But no.
  7. Team killed when? in CBT whn the maximum server population was 9k players which are the numbers we get during late night? There are 40k players now at a given time. Most of then don't even know what a supertester is.
  8. Holy hell Prince that's the lamest excuse ever. Most people don't even read this forum so the probabilities of meeting someone who read this in a normal match are minimal. And being team killed? TEAM KILLED? someone will actually team kill a good player in a CA or a BB? Even DDs don't raise the same hatred they did as before. The only class that risk being team killed are CVs but Genai asked you about CA players.

    Poor guy..

    Literally became Colorado with all the fire you threw at him.

    Overpowered Torpedos

    Not MassiveD but I give you this replay: How to survive the attack of 2 destroyers that ambush in front of you from 4 km in an Wyoming (Tier IV USN BB) and also kill then. You should enable replays to be able to watch it though. Read this thread to enable then. You just have to download the preferences.xml file, put it in the apropiate folder and replays should be enabled. Now follow the instructions on how to watch the replays in the OP. Enjoy the show 20150704_205239_PASB004-Arkansas-1912_13_OC_new_dawn.rar

    Let us name our ships in game

    No, WG and this comunity want and are trying to make this game have a less toxic chat in game and names like those won't help.
  12. OVanBruce

    Let us name our ships in game

    Yeah, I can already see it N00BKill4H Your tears my fuel [edited] Destroyer It will be glorious. Back to being serious, it's being rejected due to posibility of names like the ones above. What's been proposed is letting you choose which ship of the class you'd like to command. Like Mogami-Mikuma or Mutsuki-Kisaragi
  13. Sorry for lumping you with then. Nevertheless I'd start another CV line or play other classes if what I'm fighting against most of the times are tier VI or VII carriers in my tier IX. I did when I reached the Aoba and most of the cruisers I had to play against were Kumas and Phoenix, rest were Furutakas and Omahas. But that's just my opinion. Yeah, I know he's good and he's probably the best in a carrier. That doesn't make what he's doing less reprehensible, specially since he knows he's abusing the system and what he's doing it's accelerating a CV nerf. Also Be respectful of players who may have less time than you to spend in this game. I personally know some parents and old people up to their 50's who are enjoying this game just a few hours a week.

    Make battleships AI

    Most of then don't realize that BBs are actually hard to play and hard to master.
  15. You still refuse to get it or at least pretend not to. It's not about playing in a division or not. It's about playing in a tier X division when 91.23% of the matches you are not gonna find a real oposition on the enemy team. And you know about it, and you abuse it. Don't make me repeat myself Aerroon, you were posting in that thread too, you know what is the problem is about. Yeah, I know where this leads, and it's a real pity. But remember, this is what you guys chose, it's not like in the case of DDs where only whiners were the ones asking for it, there were players from all other classes recognizing the balance of DDs. But here you'll have the cries of the whiners and the indiference of the rest of the comunity, who collectively has showed more consideration and insightfulness than most of you guys. The nerf will probably come. How hard it will be, I dunno. What I'm sure about is that you guys will be alone thanks to your arrogance, your elitism and your indifference.
  16. Now really, we had a thread not so long ago about this. http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/19416-so-these-t10-cv-divisions-why 21 pages of people asking then to be considerate. They don't care one bit. They remind me of the people that were using the aim assist back then and said that since it wasn't banned by WG it was perfectly legal. The biggest offender, Papedipupi, when I tried to explain him the situation told me "I don't care, I do what I want". As simple as that. In the past I was one of the most ardent advocates of the CVs but now I'll feel no pain when the very likely nerf happens. Because it won't be a rework of CV mechanics, which is what I'd want, it will be an straight nerf because WG will see how the milking cow is not producing enough milk thanks to you guys. How many players are holding their horses at tier VI because of you?
  17. Are you seriously trying to convince me that it wasn't just by chance you had a team of bad players and the enemy team had decent players? I've been playing this game for 8 months already and I know the MM doesn't work as you are trying to portray it. So yeah, I did get the point and I know it's just false. Nevertheless, this thread did show something clearly, and I think lots of people here are grateful to you for that: That the capacities of a CV far outweights other classes and it adds another problem to the long list of stuff that has to be reworked for carrier gameplay like skill ceiling, balance across the tiers, balance bettwen the different CV lines and balance against other classes, specially cruisers which supposedly are their counters. A complete abomination throughout all the classes.
  18. OVanBruce

    who thinks that the Bouge sux?

    Use the balanced setup. It's key you use that single fighter squadron as agresively as possible to clear the skies.
  19. Aerron... I already saw some measure of elitism on the few matches we played together during CBT, it became more obvious on the t10 divisions thread but this thread and that vid, hell, that was the icing of the cake.

    Aoba...A Giant, Slow, Flammable, Fragile [edited]?

    Step up bro. Nobody says Kinugasa is a bad ship in front of me - Your gun uses high speed, high penetration 203 mm shells that will rip appart any cruiser in your tier and below. Let your enemies at 11-13 km know they are. Practice your markmanship and you'll get regular damage and citadels constantly with AP. If you feel like attacking BBs, HE is another option. - This ship is probably the best anti destroyer weapon after the Cleveland. 10 secs reload time 203 mm guns that can rip appart a DD in one HE salvo. This ship has also the particularity of having 2/3 of her firepower in front so you can literally forget about your aft turret and chase DDs if you've got good reflexes and judgement. - Your torps are mainly a zoning weapon. Use then to cover aproaches, launch then at enemy smokescreens, use then against unsuspecting ships coming around an island. Be imaginative. Go and sink stuff, she's a keeper in the IJN line.
  21. DDs USN: Need something to make then more interesting until higher tiers. Dunno what since I've barely played then. IJN: It's still boring as [edited]to play then at higher tiers simply because there is so much stuff in the air that can spot your torps. CVs - As I've said may times, they should be tweaked to deal less burst damage and the gameplay should definetly be made harder. Right now the skill ceiling to play CVs effectively is too low. Given how you can survive the most in battle and deal the most damage they should definetly be made the hardest class to master of all and right now it is completely the oposite. HE ammo the HE spam of the light cruisers in lower tiers can certainly be harsh on new players. The problem is that players asume they are invincible monsters when they are fragile in early tiers.

    Carrier "Balance"

    *coughatagocoughatlantacoughfuturehighcoughtierpremiumscoughwalletwarriorscough* Yeah, the whole idea of going in formation is good, I did it when It was clearly neccesary. Most boring games during CBT I had. Furthermore, such rigid meta will get old and frustrating for CA and DD players.
  23. OVanBruce

    Carrier "Balance"

    Indeed. Nevertheless it requires a level of coordination that is much more beyond the usual level of a MOBA of this kind. It's just not getting all together. It's actually a concentric formation with BBs in the center, USN CAs flanking then and USN DDs scouting the outer parts searching for IJN DDs. This kind of formation and more will come when clan wars start but the average joe won't do this, specially taking into account, like Genai mentioned, that it is much more rewarding in terms of XP and credits earned to go search for targets and farm damage.
  24. OVanBruce

    Carrier "Balance"

    Well, what can I say. I have to agree with most points written by Genai. I'm very aware that the possibilities for a CV are endless if managed well and that there are few things any class can do to counter or even prevent to get heavily damaged by then. CVs are the easiest class to get damage done, the easiest class to survive in and the class that needs to rely less on its team to succeed. It's certainly a not "I win" button but you can forget about your team while playing then.

    It's impossible to play WoW by day

    Dunno mate, play in a division so you get less braindead players in your team.
