Why not play them all? http://worldofwarships.eu/de/community/accounts/522398732-Trigger_Happy_Dad/!/pvp/overview/

Man, just gimme my SMS Seydlitz already! ;) http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/15135-die-seeschlacht-vor-dem-skagerrak-am-31-mai-1916/

That was just luck. But thx to you I now have a nice new idea to try out - aim for their rudder with bombs! ;) (bombs can be very much RNG sometimes, should be pretty difficult to deliberately take out an enemy ship's rudder with bombs)

Focus Fire is an excellent way to decimate enemy teams though.... Of course it sucks big time when you are on the recieving end....but it's just the way it is sometimes....

Da ist was dran.

Yup, fahr mal die Fubuki mit 35 Knoten maximaler Geschwindigkeit....die zerhack ich dir dann mit Sims / Benson / Tashkent / whatever bevor du "wtf" schreiben kannst. ;) Tja, was soll man da sagen...zeigt eigentlich nur wie planlos viele auf tier 8+ rumschippern.....Torpedos aufgedeckt durch den eigenen DD...trotzdem haben die feindlichen Kreuzer Torps gefressen und sind einfach nur stumpf abgesoffen ohne auf "R" zu drücken (Wassereinbruch - Blubb).....wtf.... P.S: Wieder mal ein sehr schönes Video von Telly!

Thank you very much! No, when I play I use the normal "bird's eye view", I just choose that "aircraft view" for my videos, looks better imho! ;)

Reicht halt nicht "mal gehört zu haben was im Forum empfohlen wird". Man sollte sich dazu auch mal ein paar Videos / Tipps anschauen und vor allem erstmal ÜBEN. Einfach Ranger kaufen und in das dickste feindliche Flak-Feuer rein fliegen dürfte nur bei den wenigsten gut gehen.... ;) Hatte eben wieder eine schöne Runde, 0-1-3 Ranger gegen 3-1-2 Hiryu - 225k Schaden, 2 Kills, gg ;) http://wowreplays.com/Replay/3686-Trigger_Happy_Dad-Ranger-Bees-to-Honey

With that commentary? Well, nope. I'm just saying what I think would have been better to SHOW the game...

Yup.

Nah, it's just another point worth mentioning. If the teams would have take a wider variety of ships including Shokaku / Lexington, Amagi, North Carolina, Tirpitz, Mogami, Atago, Admiral Hipper, New Orleans, Chapayev, MK, Benson, Lo-Yang, Fubuki, Tashkent......it would have been better to just SHOW the game to a new audience, for example to show the differences between the nations, to show the variety etc.... None of the teams had to prove anything there, they didn't have to win.... They just had to SHOW the game..... ;)

Short distance to targets = more possible attacks + more potential damage. I like that map, fast action.

Now this is a nice offer:

Yea, might as well buy and play a Mikasa, she's "unique" and "special" too... (worst ship in the game)

Yea, have a look at the player base....like 1% of them prefer "difficult ships"..... ;) I have an opinion too and I just shared it here, no idea what's your problem with that.

Imho the premium ship discussion belongs here too. WoWs was presented to the WoT crowd, 17k + players viewers. They saw 2x teams like this: + this: So many viewers could get the impression that these are the best ships for Team Battles.... = no variety = pretty boring = poor choice of ships + pay2win impression because most of these are premium ships.... That's not an impression I'd want new WoWS players to have if I had anything to say @ WG.... Both commentators were much to busy explaining game mechanics and didn't see that the blue Shokaku was quickly down to 1k HP in the first game. Minutes after the blue Shokaku was down to 1 k HP both comentators pointed out that both CVs didn't engage each other but attacked the other ships first.... 2n game - blue Shokaku gets wrecked again and sunk early - commentary: "Who has the advantage now?" ..... from reddit:

Beim ersten Gefecht ging die "german Shokaku" nicht gleich verloren, wurde aber schon nach 3 Minuten das erste Mal getroffen und kurz darauf auf ca. 1k HP runter geschossen... Beide Kommentatoren erzählen Minuten danach irgendwas von "gute dass sich die Träger erstmal in Ruhe gelassen und erstmal nur die anderen Schiffe des gegnerischen Teams angegriffen haben"... Ok....

Miese Runde für mich, zu früh zu viele Flugzeuge verheizt + Disconnect mitten im Spiel, aber die Szene hier war schön: http://wowreplays.com/Replay/3653-Trigger_Happy_Dad-Shokaku-Two-Brothers

I didn't ask YOU, my questions are aimed at WG / the devs. You find excuses for every issue with the Saipan and defend it in it's current form wherever you can, to me that's advertisment and NOT constructive criticism. ;)

I'm not dumb, you know? You don't have to explain it to me like I am 5.... This review and what you write adds NOTHING to what was said in ichase's / flamu's Saipan review, it's just more pretty words / no new info. You have your opinion, I have my opinion. And from what I've read so far the guys who are interested in buying the Saipan are the minority atm....and that's why I say this whole "Saipan with few but fast tier 9 planes" concept wasn't WG's best idea....

Funny enough, he's playing CVs too....

Imho calling a premium ship "unique" + "it will be a blast in the right hands"....is not really good advertisment for a premium ship WG wants to sell... This whole game is rather "noob friendly", what's the point of creating a "very special" ship which can only perform well when played by top CV players? In it's current form the Saipan doesn't even look good to a lot (of the few) CV players.....no matter how often you repeat that is has "special meta because speed, bla". Imho the devs should have created a "normal" (normal squadron sizes, no tier 9 planes) premium CV and not...this.....imho they won't sell many Saipans, so a lot of wasted time and effort for selling a few "unique" CVs.....

Trigger_Happy_Dad, on 04 April 2016 - 09:32 PM, said: In Random you can wreck a lot with IJN / USN CVs.... Langley / Hosho - both very strong when played well...low tier ships have basically no AA...and no clue ;) Bogue / Zuiho - imho Zuiho is much stronger because of much better plane setup (1-2-1), Bogue is excellent for getting that daily Clear Sky award (for 10x November Echo Setteseven signal flags); Independence / Ryujo - imho Ryujo is much stronger because of much better plane setup (1-2-2), Indy is not that bad when using strike setup (0-1-2) though.... Ranger / Hiryu - pretty balanced imho, both have their advantages and disadvantages.... - Ranger's strike setup (0-1-3) is very powerful, you have to be good at "aircraft-chess" though and attack the right targets at the right time.... ;) - Hiryu's 2-2-2 setup is much more flexible than Ranger's avaiable setups (2-0-2 / 0-1-3), but IJN squadrons have less and weaker planes and Ranger has the better AA.... Lexington / Shokaku - imho they are pretty balanced too, at least in RANDOM Battles....imho Lexington / Shokaku are like Ranger / Hiryu, just with better planes and much harder mm, you'll see a lot of tier X battles...(tier x AA is argh) tier IX / X - no idea yet. ;) (played 2 games in my stock-Taiho so far, was no fun, saving free xp to upgrade it some day) ;) http://warshipstats....igger_Happy_Dad P.S. When your Ranger / Lexington captain looks like this: ....you'll have 3 x 7 bombers......= 21 x 250kg / 500kg bombs...any enemy ship will look like crap after being hit with that + lose a metric ton of AA guns + will have 4-X fires.... ;) http://forum.worldof...232#entry949232 Lexington has much better AA + stronger and faster planes than the Ranger, and the upgraded Lexington bombers use 500 kg bombs (instead of 250kg bombs).

Video: https://www.twitch.tv/wgleu/v/59545611 36:54 Blue Shokaku is under attack by 2 squadrons of red torpedo bombers, blue fighters cannot help because they are fighting red fighters below B, blue cruiser west of the blue Shokaku is still to far away to help much with AA.... This early attack cost approx. 2/3 of the blue Shokaku's HP: This action wasn't mentioned in the commentary....instead the guys kept on explaining all sorts of WoWS game mechanics.... The camera jumped here and there and everywhere....but not to where the real action was..... ;) Yea well, can only get better (comentary / camera)..... P.S. Some scenes in "free camera" mode (+ commentary describing the actual battle action) would have been much better imho, like this:

Video: https://www.twitch.tv/wgleu/v/59545611 36:54 Die Shokaku vom "Team Germany" wird von 2 Staffeln Torpedo-Bombern der "Dead Admirals" Shokaku angegriffen. Die Jäger befinden sich im Luftkampf knapp unterhalb von B und könnnen in diesem Moment nicht gegen die feindlichen Torpedobomber helfen, der blaue Kreuzer ist auch zu weit weg um doll helfen zu können.... Danach hatte die blaue Shokaku noch ca 1/3 HP.... Die Kommentatoren haben davon nichts erwähnt....sondern weiter dem WoT Publikum WoWS erklärt....die Kamera sprang dabei lustig überall hin, nur nicht dahin wo die Action war... hmmmm Nachdem dann die blaue Shokaku abgesoffen war "Welches Team hat jetzt den Vorteil?".... Naja, kann ja nur besser werden (Kamera / Kommentare.... );)
