black swan

While I've gotten substantially better at it, sometimes I miss cause the speed makes no sense (i.e. target is still going quite fast, even though he should be going slow cause border mechanism) - especially since the smoke stack doesn't indicate speed anymore.

Good for you. (no sarcasm)

O my lord i missed that. I just don't expect seeing people pick that I guess

I wonder if he would still pick that one today. (let's see if he lurks around here? @Solanine?) He probably didn't go AFT because there were limited carriers for a while. But hipper has a really good AA suite in the end. @Saltface the second row skill here (high alert) is a very good alternative for your BoS.

That's not really true. Lots of ppl play mogami with rudder mod, or henri. I remember trying it out with hipper as well on my NA adventures. Can't really remember if I even switched back to concealment mod in the end. The rudder mod is quite ok, even though of course your concealment becomes horrible. Wouldn't recommend it to newer players I think.

Well, if you want more, I'd never recommend vigilance either :D Seems like a waste of three points for what you correctly called a second line cruiser. Though if you have a lot of trouble anticipating torps, better keep it. You're wasting a lot of gold respeccing that captain imho. Why not just ask around for some more hints? A typical captain would be something like this: http://shipcomrade.com/captcalc/1010100000000010000001100000100119 although only if you keep him for Roon. If not, you can ditch the superintendant. Bos =/= SE

Yea I just checked it out. I didn't know it by heart cause that's a carrier skill. I have no idea if it will help your fighter on a surface ship, but even if it does, I doubt it will do that much. You're better off investing that point then in the direction center (the one left of it), which will give you a double plane. They will help you spot torps too. BoS is basics of survivability.

wtf is that third skill on the first row? the plane one?? also, BoS isn't the worst pick ever, though I wouldn't recommend it.

It's an informative and frankly hilarious video :) Only the intonation and facial expression at 2:30 with "let's make it the best action game possible, eh, eh?" is worth gold. One personal note, quoting fara: "Basically, [WG is saying that] you the player, don't have the mental capability to control more than one thing at a time." Well, I'm glad to see that their intentions to connect with the larger playerbase might work out, since they obviously recognize the potential of the majority... It's somewhat sad to see my own cynicism trumped like that. But well played WG, well played.

Can't immediately refind that comment, but I read it too. I'm very very curious about the original sentence if this is supposed to be a translation error. Although it is very indicative of WG's quality control in general.

Thanks. If only WG had some kind of messaging board on the interwebz themselves...

this OP doesn't see the irony when he complains about his clubbing div being clubbed by a red one I guess.

52 minutes lol? Anyone got a tldr?

10k What now?

Once again you should format your poetry, or you'll confuse people. It goes like this: (ahem) (solemn silence) All that WG ideas are good or badly inserted into the game, regardless of the comments they obviously do not care about (sniff) Somewhat too minimalistic for my taste, but a nice try nevertheless

Who knows if they aren't assuming too much already...

Well, to be fair, even the superest duperest unicum couldn't have done anything in that game he posted...

Only double? Didn't I hear something about triple? :D

Well they saw how well that went in WoT... So according to WG logic they must repeat that.

does compute

You mean, like 4/5 cruisers that have radar (+ a couple of missouri's) as we had recently? I know what you mean ofc. Depends most on the map in the end. Give me 2 red DDs and all the wooster spam in the world on Okinawa, and I'll be happy enough. On things like Haven though... eh... DD spam is as cancerous as radarcruiser spam.

He might have found a way to release some steam... It's the first full game of a Graf Z I've seen. Should have bloody bought one :D The vid also gives some tiny tiny indications why placing too much trust into the WG balancing department might be unwarranted.

I mean, of course I know that there is a chance that all 4 did hit a module, but I'm not used to seeing that kind of rng often. It's not like wg never broke their own game before.

Both yesterday and the day before I did some sprint with El2a and in two separate games I had a single salvo with 4 pens for a combined zero damage. Will pay attention if it keeps happening.
