Definitely not enjoyable. I suffered three battles tonight on EU. All of them below par. Everyone seemed to be not playing a wargame with warships, they were playing 'anchored by the rocks' sort of game. I was trying to keep things dynamic but pretty much the only thing I could do was trying to find some angle where I could spot and shoot at the enemy ships while trying to avoid hitting half a dozen rocks that I was running into every 10 seconds or so.... I wasn't playing a naval wargame either, I was playing the effing ball in a ping pong machine.

Spotted @Cammo1962 on one of those half-a**ed WG maps with rocks where the enemy goes so I can't shoot at them, with rocks where the enemy BB just pops out right next to my cruiser so it just sinks me in 1 second flat. I can't play on these gargabe maps. Oh, the battle didn't go well but at least we tried.

'Expert Juggler'?...

Have you tried using custom settings? The off the peg settings seem a little off, like when I tried the 'Night' settings the guns were very loud.

I'm happy that now I feel I can better compliment those team mates that sort of 'dance' to the same tune as I do in sense that they sink the right ships. Helps a lot when trying to hold or push a flank.

Better dead than smeg..

If only, but that would be a smart move. WG is more likely to make **** moves than smart moves.

Pensacola.

What about the new settings, some of them they say reduce the load on your PC.

Sometimes I feel the ships themselves perform worse on weekends..

I play weekends! I also play Monday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Friday.

Intriguing... I assume this is to balance the DPS potential of large caliber AP shells (and ships using them).. is there a similar WG "balans"(ed) in action to balance against rapid firing HE shells (and ships using them )?

All I notice there isn't anything to notice... I suppose an overpen is slightly better than a ding or a miss.

@T0byJug spotted on Hotspot with the Skåne, though mostly with radar, I think. We skirted each other fairly effectively throughout the battle.

Not that shells hitting a ship are much nicer though...

Thanks for the correction.

To avoid this issue, I guess you'd need to be sure you hit a citadel or use HE shells. I just hate having to keep switching cause I always have the wrong type loaded in... I'd much prefer to have both types ready in alternate turrets/barrels.

Ships are not quite like human bodies but.. I guess in some ways you can make that analogy. Think of overpen as a small caliber high velocity bullet passing through a non-vital area and a penetration hit as a large caliber bullet hitting a vital organ. Add an explosive charge to the latter... Somewhat grim analogies though...

Short explanation: it's frustration. Slightly longer short explanation: the target armour is too thin or non-existant so the shell just crashes through.

For the UI, unless suggested previously: A Filter function that would allow you to see your ships in terms of the best/worst stat parameters, like Survivability.... Concealment. Would help tremendously, if I was trying to find which ships would best fit the criteria I may be needing at that particular moment. Not necessary, of course, if you already learn the best performers, but sometimes you might like some variety and maybe want to pick a set of 5 best or most interesting ships to play.

Why do you ask, human?

I'd actually forgotten all about them too..

Always check out what LWM (LittleWhiteMouse) has to say in her reviews. They are the Gold Standard when it comes to written reviews.

Not effective counterplay, at least. @Figment Interesting pointers, cheers!

I wouldn't want to try the third option, really, because the sub is keeping me spotted as a target (for everyone) and unless I have a pretty good idea where the sub is, the ASW will just be wasted. What I think I'd do if I'm rational is take a quick guess and use ASW while turning tail.
