There are night battle maps planned just so you know.

Remember that you have more than 2 speeds so play with then in order to mislead the enemy CV.

You don't run from enemy torp bombers, you face then, do CTRL + click on then. This way you avoid the thing that happened to you but also rape then while [edited]up their aproach. Now, the second torp squad will be the one that will hit you. Those are the ones you'll actually dodge and maybe take 2 or 3 torps. In the end you'll have received 2 or 3 torp hits and with some luck you'd have oblitared a single entire squadron and maybe some more planes from the other. Of course, executing this manouver depends on where you are and who you are engaging so, once again, knoqibg exactly where, how and with whom to go is keyto avoid what you described me.

A good CV player will only land 2 or 3 torps on a good BB player, even less.if there is a cruiser near with the AA barrage skill active.

Though I must agree that AP is the way to go most of the times, HE has it's uses. On lower tiers it's the most reliable way to deal damage to a BB on a cruiser or DD. You basically can make her have 3 or 4 simultaneous fires with your high RoF and volume On later tiers the HE can be used as support fire since it not only can provoke a fire but can also destroy AA guns making the job of your CVs easier. I agree that it's situational but they have its uses.

Take your own conclusions but from my point of view and several players from both my and the enemy team he was a bot. In any case, all the info needed to check any log and such are there for wargaming to take a closer look than any of us can. This thread is for then to do that, not to convince any of the beta testers. I'm the most interested in this not being true after all.

It's not aimbots or such we are talking about. It's bots that pose as players in order to earn credits and experience automatically. Furthermore, the guy at the Fuso had a minute to deny he was a bot on chat but he never wrote anything on it.

Her secondaries were indeed firing me.

Japanese cruisers are for you.

Well, to help players shoot behind islands and obstacles that shells can go above you need that kind of view.

This thread is just, what? How the hell would the controls be possible on a console?

I still chuckle everytime I see this thread's title.

Even if I win or lose If I know I did a good job I can be happy. So win rate doesn't affect me that much. Of course I'd like it to be over 50% but with games filled with so many players that don't try to play right it's not a matter of your performance but of others. Even though, there are times when your contribution is extremely decisive or you saved your team from certain defeat and turned that into a draw. Those are the best moments.

As long as the money keeps flowing...

Hahahaha. Go play Dota 2 and get 5000 mmr in 100 matches and then we'll talk. You know nothing but you pretend to give lessons when your experience is armchair general level.

The reaon why reload times become so big in later tier DDs doesn't lie on the DDs thenselves imo but on their counters, the cruiser. Most cruisers from tier VI onwards have the more powerful but longer reloading 203 mm gun. A DD is difficilt to aim well and with those guns it becomes even harder. Basically, to avoid a dodgefest from a DD spamming torps like Fubuki, Kagerou or Shimakaze the reload time is bigger so the enemies have a chance at hitting you before you launch 2 or 3 salvos of torpedoes.

Don't say later that I didn't warn you. She was [edited] on Alpha and she's probably [edited] now. I reckon there are problems when balancing such ships. Maybe if they gave her the 15 km range torp of Shimakaze.

I'll continue grinding the japanese cruisers line until I reach Senjo even though she's the worst tier X ship now. Hopefully, by that time the jap CVs would have been introduced and I'll start grinding then while I continue the DD line.

@Von_chom Now, really? You've got 18k health and a better hull than a Tatsuta. More torps than Kuma which lets you kill anything. I'm not saying it's a super ship but it is great for farming credits since you'll allways do something in battle.

With 10km range while you are spotted at 20 kms like every cruiser. You also have a tier IV hull on tier VIII and a laughable firepower. Atlanta is a much better ship, not incredible but good enough. You've got 12 shots ready every 6 secons which are the bane of any destroyer. You can also fight other cruisers as long as they don't hit a broadside of 203 mm shells in your citadel: You are very fragile. You won't kill BBs, they can literally one shot you, but when doing support shelling your broadsides can get anything on fire. Load HE and see that poor BB have 3 or 4 simultaneous fires which will slowly burn her health. All in all Atlanta is like a very improved Omaha.

It will be even worse because younger and more inmature people will come so the whinefest will be harder.

You are not hitting the citadel. You need to propperly aim to the center of the ship and put your shots there. Then you'll be able to kill it in 2 or 3 salvos.

Haha, it's funny seeing someone proving my point from earlier. Your BB WILL get his [edited]handed if a DD or japanese CA gets close to you but it's up to you and your teammates to prevent that from happening. This is to prevent this game to become world of Battleships.

One word for you: overpenetration.

My waifu shoots its planes with FUCKIN MAGICK. Can Taihou do that?
