@Fenrir225 So, you basically want your BB to be a flawless and completely autonomous machine. Will be funny to see you whining when the enemy still kills you even after using a perfect machine.

To be honest, I haven't tested it yet too but if this turns out to be true God damn it WG, you literally made the Senjo crap: No Long Lances and no stealthiness.

The problem that ruins WoT games: nonexistent teamplay. AKA c-word.

Everytime I see a PepsiCola on the other side with my Mogami I smirk a bit. Poor girl.

>The maps and torpedo balance prevent other tactics Stop playing alone and ask for your team cooperation: leave behind the WoT cancer. God, I hate people that give up at the first problem.

Just so you know, and you saw already I'm not exactly a IJN hater, the trick of the Senjo is that it has a VERY long range for a CA and is stealthly. Iirc: Range of the guns:18kms Spotted at:11,4km Whereas Des Moines has Range: 16km Spotted at 14km This means that a Des Moines will allways be spotted when shelling and a Senjo can stay unnoticed ecen while shooting. Combine that with the Invisible ship training for a captain (-12% spotted range) and it becomes 10 km spotted range for the Senjo. Truly an invisible ship. So now, the Senjo, to compensate has less armor, HP, AA and les DPS. Add now the lack of long lances. I think the lack of long lances is an overkill. Poor Senjo has been nerfed too many times.

It could be a good idea but not in the maps we currentlyhave for domination.

155mm are better imo, but sometimes you do miss that extra penetration power when you really need to blow up a BB. Matches now are plagued with BBs so try then. When the fauna discovers the wonders of cruisers you can switch back to 155 mm or stay at 203 mm if you really value penetration.

And this guy wasn't in Alpha when you basically saw a Senjo or Des Moines in the enemy team and started sweating if you were aBB. CAs have been seriously nerfed (much to my annoyance) cause now a BB can one shot then much more easily than before. When in Alpha even a Myoukou could give a good fight to a Yamato or an Amagi.

A pack of 3 or 4 BBs and 2 cruisers is almost unstoppable on the attack. While getting close they can gank up on an enemy vessel while not having to be afraid of enemy torp bombers or destroyers thanks to the cruisers. Those can, furthermore, launch torp strikes to the enemy ships if they are japs which can hit hard or simply disorganize then. This game is all about map control and the side which can deploy enough ships for the part of the map it is needed is the one who wins. So BBs and cruisers, get together and push forward to win, moreover when Epaminonda's tactics are key to win most WoWs matches imo.

That sounded like a complete tantrun, extortion included.

It's funny how Mogami gets her turrets "upgraded" using the same mentality japanese had: more range and bigger is better when it's not. The 155mm were excellent guns irl too. A pity Mogami's armor is made of paper because on artillery she beats the Myokou and the Ibuki. I'd be delighted if the devs gave us rhe possibility of mounting the 155 mm turrets on the Ibuki too since she was basically an upgraded Mogami.

Sadly, there is no perfect trixk for knowing how to lead your shots, it's all a matter of practice. As someone suggesred, practice using a cruiser since you can spam- shots on then and get the hang of it. They do tend to be more accurate than BBs though.

With all due respect, this thread is even more pointless being here than the kantai in 3 words one. At least taking into account what is being posted.

Glorified RNG simulator. And you know it's true.

Did they actually had time to feel something?

1) check the detailed battle report tab at the end of the battle 2) different speeds let you control your ship better for not leaving behind your BBs as scort CA, missleading the enemy shots when engaged, evading torps by getting bettwen then and a lot of etc. You can fully control your rudder by tapping lightly your keyboard. 3) right click mantained lets you fix the turrets in one position. 4) Chat will be implemented in a given time I suppose, for anyone that wants to insult others life. Meanwhile, chat has been working for me. 5)Tiers aren't that relevant in the game where skill is much more important. PD: [edited]

That's not the issue here. And yeah, there should be a correct torp bomber behaviour implemented to try making stuff more technical and for creating more tactical possibilities like what OP thought would safe him from the torps. Islands would become something more than a peek-a-boo enabler.

Just a reminder (or wishful thinking). We may get a nicerewaed like an exclusive ship or two qhen the game is released.

This is an arcade game made for fun so you've gotta give some room for devs to create something challenging, interesting and fun to play. Those are the main assets of a good game, not realism.

Popping in to say I'm allways having this issue to.

Don't forget Maya's remodel into AA cruiser.

Well, just my 2 cents: Stay near a pack of BBs, preferably bettwen your enemies and the BBs. Since you are less noticeable than BBs you can do this. Don't forget to launch your scout plane once you are in positionDeal with any hassle that can disturb the shelling of the BBs: DDs, CAs and planes. If you don't see any inmediate threat to your BBs, contribute to the shelling with your guns too, the enemywill have to choose bettwen you and the BBs behind you. If you can, send your torps too. Right now your best role is this imo.

In your case I'd have ran from him in the opposite direction. Head for where your other team mates are, preferably a cruiser, and mark the DD on the map while asking on the chat a nearby cruiser or destroyer for some help. No shame on it you simply aren't made to fight a DD.

It's getting increasingly frustrating to read and answer this threads everyday so I'll keep it short. Keep your damn eyes open about your surroundings and don't move in straight lines. Also, learn to aim your guns.
