Kenliero

Today I bought Ognevoi... tried it. lost turret and was like "Seriously, am I suppose to keep shotting with 2 guns the whole game. THIS IS NOT REAL!!!"... and I immediately sold that piece of crap. It is the most horrible ship I have ever played.

Guys, you want to level Colorado in Ranked battles. There it shines. It's weakness is against tier 8 and 9, but in Ranked battles it is amazing from close range, due strong armor. I am running 67% winrate with Colorado in ranked and I think it is best ship for ranked. Better than Nagato from close range. Here is a sample video of how you can use Colorado effectively.

Do not get the range upgrade module. It will only make you try to snipe and it doesn't work with Colorado. +20% AA upgrade is much more useful

I don't even bother to play Tier 8 during the day, because the waiting time is so long. If I finally start playing Lexi in evening, at peak times... I get something like Essex or Midway against me... So I am focusing on other ships for now..

Actually no, I was more like focused on taking care of that Omaha that was after them... So that they wouldn't be in crossfire, and hoping that they could then focus on the clearing southern part, take care of them, while I was messing around with the north part.... by myself. My focus is always trying to make it easy for the rest of the team

I would highly recommend Murmansk Cruiser for new players, long before trying Battleships. It's cheap and you can learn basic stuff with it easily. You learn how to kill Cruisers with AP rounds. You learn how Battleships are very powerful from close by, and NOT go near them(use HE from long range instead, if you are running Cruiser) You learn how to use Torpedoes You learn how to kill Destroyers from close range. You learn how to be aware of planes, dodge torpedoes, and shoot planes You learn how to get Caps for the team(Which is easily done with fast ship like Murmansk) You learn the importance of Captain Skills(as you can get longer firing range, faster rate of fire, and good anti-air protection) Murmansk is perfect tool to learn to deal with others ships, after which you can move on to slower ships and start the "actual challenge". Here is a screenshot and VIDEO of my Murmansk Gameplay, just to show you how much fun it can be. Sorry about the low framerate, it is from fraps. It is much much better in the game.

Yeah.... it took 2054 base XP game to finally end the "loss run"... and even in that surviving players were even...(my 3 kills didn't change that) we won by points

Sometimes? Now 8 losses in a row WITH all that stuff... it's 3 days in a row this bs. My overall winrate has sinked a 1.1% in these 3 days. and I have done it with Murmansk, where I HAD 65% winrate...I am actually starting to be convinced that they changed MM in last patch... somehow screw over good players

I have another one for you... What is the purpose of carrying your team with 2 consecutive Confederates and still getting 2 consecutive losses? Sometimes it seems you should do crazy things to win in this game... For me, this is 3rd day in a row this same garbage...

Purpose of armor is to prevent other Battleships to one-shot you with Armor Piercing shells(AP), by doing Citadel Hits. For fire, you will need Captain skills and Player Skills, so get some.

Yep, Oliver Stone

Them Citadel hits

Come on, don't give up that easy. Who knows, maybe they actually read peoples comments and buff the fire chance for ALL Destroyers, and make them playable, even in high tiers. We really need better Destroyers(IJN too), specially for high tiers. At the moment DD damage is way too low compared to other classes.

What you see is current 57%. the BEST it was actually even 83%. Of course it changes when there are more games played. It was 73% when I wrote the text. After that I hit hard patch, the worst day in my gaming history, and had only 30% winrate for the day, so it sinked all the way down to 57%, when I finished grind. There was no false statements. There are only results that change over time. If you would learn to read. I said 73% and I never talked about OTHER SHIPS, than Gnevny. What comes to other ships, they were my first 80 games in this whole game, 900 games ago, so I would not draw a lot of conclusions based on my other destroyer games.

Destroyers NORMAL Visibilityrange is around 5-6km in low tiers. Umikaze can have as low as 4.8km with captain skills.

Running Camo in all ships.-4% accuracy one in Battlesheeps and Cruisers, stealth in DD/Atlanta/Carrier. Now also running Damage Control Party in BB's. Thanks mtm for pointing out that you can use it with silver. Running 63% winrate with Colorado in ranked now.

Oh, and as you see, it's not only Tier 10 problem... have you guys noticed how Lexington is matched with tier 9 and 10 all than time? I bet I have seen at least 3 screenshots like that already.

The gunboat idea is good otherwise, but damage is not enough. Specially USN gunboats do very bad damage(compared to BB's and Cruisers) they all should get firechance buff, which would make them ok

Ok, I'll have to check that again once I get home... Perhaps there was option to change currency or something(were default was gold?) The reason I I said it, was because I watched ichasing video, where he went through consumables, and I thought it was good idea to use repair for 22500s, but I found only gold in my options... but looks like I missed something.

Kirasa. All those people who thinks CV sniping and bomberdecks are "obsolete" and choose AS decks, are just WRONG. Strike decks still works, it's just that it doesn't work with all ships, and it us harder than before. 0/1/3 is still by far the best deck for Ranger. Using 1/1/1 with Ranger would be just waste. When the nerfs came, everyone and their mother was whining how bombers don't work anymore... and everyone BELIEVED THOSE WHINERS, which is why majority still actually thinks AS is the way to go, when in reality it's worse of them all. Balanced set is best in some carriers, but bomber versions are still best in most carriers. Killing enemy carrier right in the start is still worth a try, because it still works sometimes, and when it does, you have already won the whoele game, IF YOU USE BOMBERDECK, because you will have Christmas after that.

Take battlesheep

To my knowledge that is not possible anymore (used to was 22000). I just recently checked and my BB"s didn't have that option

Have to say I am very surprised to see that people actually spend gold to repair in a match... wow, just wow

Soviet DD is best carrierkiller by far. Speed, camo, good firechance and long range, excellent combination to take down carrier... now if you skip AFT and take demo expert, it's sailing flamethrower... and range is still not too bad... I've given up on invisfiring and AFT and I think it works better from closer range, as fast flamethrower...

I have both carrier lines in tier 8(Shokaku and Lexi). Your best weapon against setup like that, is to be patient and try to sneak your bombers long way around and kill his carrier asap. Also, advice your team to push, so that they can not control center with fighters. Try to bring your carrier closer, so that when he is rearming fighters, kill his carrier if you were not successful in initial attack. These same tactics work with Ranger. Use full bomber setup in Ranger you get 4 bomberfleets and it is impossible for enemy to stop them all. I remember game, where I did 90k damage with fires only. As you know, USN divebombers are much better than IJN. Your 1/1/1 stock setup is best for Independence. With Ranger you get more powerful, IF you choose bombers
