    Petition to remove storm

    Sure they do. Then again the majority of BB players are braindead potatoes camping at 20km, too, thus their opinion is for the most part worthless in such a discussion.
  2. Yeah, I've outfitted pretty much everyone to kill those. Seemed to work somewhat fine as I was able to clear phase 2 without losing too much time or resources. Final boss node drops tea botes along with pretty much everything else tho. That alone is worth clearing it imo. I'm dropping down to casual for this, no way 2 medals are worth putting up with the extra salt.

    AP bombs - a list

    I would assume so, yeah. Obviously I haven't been bombing many Atlantas or Flints.
  4. I just failed the LoS check from L to O on phase 2 in E5. With a 75 value. Are you for real Tanaka? On the bright side EDIT: Failed again with 85. Seriously, how much do you need?! Just a heads up btw, LBAS raids happen even in phase 1. EDIT2: Brought too many capital ships for L to O. , I guess Iowan needs to stay at home after all.

    What happens on Thursday?

    Gulag. The answer is always gulag.
  6. Christ, I hated BlueStacks. Never ran all that well on my PC and even caused some stuff to crash. I recommend using Nox instead. As for starting out, I assume you're going to play the EN version? Regardless though I haven't read this entirely but it seems pretty comprehensive: Also it's practically impossible to dodge everything. Dodge the slow moving stuff (like torps), those are the things that hurt.

    Added Nelson to partial vulnerability pool. Takes citadels on a semi regular basis but usually not enough to oneshot her like FdG.
  8. I mean, it looks kinda okay? The character animations are too low fps but the aircraft scenes were pretty good. Ships look well drawn, too and the CGI wasn't that bad. Only two short scenes with my waifu tho.
  9. Just saw this ...Wow. Guess who's never going to play this game on hard? Seriously, Touhou on lunatic is probably easier to beat than this.

    If you cant beat them, join them! CV

    You are truly a brilliant master of your craft. Please teach me sensei! On a more serious note, current CV skills that probably will be transferable: - map awareness - CV positioning - target selection - knowing optimal approach angles along with typical basics of the game such as DCP cds and the like.

    Same with BBs that push in an intelligent manner, eh?

    What is it with the Fuso ?

    Fuso has a less than optimal gun layout for close range brawling. She can do it, but it's a bit more difficult than with other BBs in my experience. She also has among the worst concealment in the game (if not the worst? Don't remember tbh). I find her most effective when fighting at mid range like high tier USN BBs. As to why people snipe at the back, the same reason why so many BBabies snipe at the back I suppose: Because they can.

    Visual Aids / Charts

    Not a chart but Just in case you didn't know.
  14. That's more due to balans AP bombs than air control ability or skill.

    CV Rework Discussion

    According to a previous post, yeah, it will. Short range aura only has 50% accuracy and deals 10-40 DPS (Worchester only has 15 DPS on that e.g.). Midway planes apparently have about 2600 HP. That means even if you had 100% accuracy it would take 65 seconds to kill one plane at 40 DPS.

    CV Rework Discussion

    New CVs are made to cater to the lowest common denominator, otherwise known as "making them more popular" in WG language. Making AA ships obsolete does go in that direction.

    The CV Captains Cabin

    Pretty sure the rework doesn't have an auto attack option.
  18. She has the right idea. Dayum some of those new skins. I'm still extremely tempted to buy the SoDak one.
  19. *salt mode engaged* I swear the Re-class on node V in E4 is the bane of my existence. Seriously Tanaka, what the , I'm playing on easy modo. I'm not supposed to deal with this . Also the ing PT imps at the boss node. Kaga loves wasting her CVCIs on those. Got machine guns on everyone but still no one can ing hit them. At least I got more pasta for my troubles.

    Carriers are not good for the game

    I'd put this under teamplay and is thus a totally fine strategy. It's no different than having a target get killed in a crossfire. No, it's not. It's a symptom of the current BB meta. If there were enough cruisers around CVs would have a much, much harder time. A fully specialized AA cruiser doesn't even need DFAA to wipe out entire strikes, DFAA just makes stuff die a lot faster. Thus the solution to this particular issue is rather easy: - cap BBs and DDs to 3 per side in randoms - make every cruiser capable of defending air space without need for specialization (as previously discussed) - remove/change AP bombs Getting any effective strikes through in a CV thus gets much harder, if not impossible from time to time, but it's not their primary function anyway.

    Carriers are not good for the game

    Not enough goats sacrificed to RNGesus. Totally his fault. On a more serious note, if he had turned in the "right" direction (which would've led him to eat DD torps) he would've easily killed that squad before they could find a good drop position. Still, the consistency of AA is indeed garbage. Personally I would've either balanced AA primarily around base values and not around "lol if you take these skills you are immune, but if you don't you're ed" or replaced the whole system entirely. I mean, an HP based system like we have in the rework would likely do fine with the RTS gameplay, too. Not that it particularly matters now, ofc.

    Carriers are not good for the game

    Meh, even in those ships using only single squads will net you negligible results with heavy losses at best in my experience. I've been there, I've tried that. It's only really successful if the cruiser turns the wrong way, which to be fair does happen a lot because the average player is abysmal. Yup. Which is why having to specialize against one of the supposed core mechanics of the game is, again, ed.
  23. El2aZeR

    Carriers are not good for the game

    If he's flying in his squads one by one and you're an AA ship with the "proper" specialization (although the very notion that you have to specialize against CVs is ing ed, I can't state that enough), the only thing that happens is that he'll run out of planes very quickly. I've certainly never needed DFAA to deal with single squads in any of my AA ships and I usually only run AFT + AA range.
  24. El2aZeR

    Carriers are not good for the game

    Turnaround time for a CV is around 3 minutes depending on distance to and the nation of the CV. Works out just fine, no? And again, just don't use DFAA against DBs. Is what I'd like to say but AP bombs are broken. High tier USN CVs do only have T8 TBs tho, depending on how many goats you have sacrificed to RNGesus you may still get away with negligible damage from those. Thus personally I would use DFAA against the AP DBs. Generally speaking though there is no good trade you can make here. Trust me, I want AP DBs to get changed or removed just as much as you. Or alternatively the dependency of cruisers on DFAA to get changed.
