I'm fine with the whole manual control stuff. More afraid of them ing up the balancing which they're very likely to do.

Discussion thread for "some interesting info around the world"
El2aZeR replied to Deamon93's topic in General Discussion
Don't see too big of a deal tbh. The number of her effective AA mounts is low and are all concentrated around her superstructure. Any kind of HE spam will hurt hilariously even if it only takes out a few guns. -
Rant / CV / AA / in-game exploits / a request

- feeds a Minotaur 50 planes. - comes to forum to complain about it If you haven't noticed yet, you don't need to fly into Mino AA if you have an idea where he is. Hint: It may be that smoke cloud with tons of shells coming out of it.- 200 replies

Yup, Accuracy International manufactured the Arctic Warfare series of rifles. The AWP(olice) is the variant for law enforcement (although technically speaking CS' "AWP" is actually an AWM). Apparently they ceased production in 2012 sadly. I saw that live. To say that it blew my mind would be an understatement. -

A bit surprised that there isn't an AW variant in GF btw. The AWM has always been my favorite rifle (in large parts thanks to Counter-Strike) and I'd be more than happy to sell my left kidney to get my hands on one. Apparently AI doesn't manufacture them anymore tho. T_T Back on the topic of ships, apparently we've got a new collab in AL. Absolutely no idea with what or what it is about tho. -
Got a 30% coupon, thought I'd treat myself to something and bought a Loyang since I otherwise don't have a T8 DD I play. Just one quick question, though. Which torps should I use? Both have their up and downsides in my eyes.

Her current AA is pitiful and she's unable to keep up with any of AA cover, especially if she gets a spawn. I believe she's one of the few ships actually deserving of an AA buff when you consider she has to deal with Hiryu, Saipan and Kaga. Ranger too if she ever gets buffed.
-
Well, Haku fighters ARE the fastest in the game currently, they'd do it regardless. :D
-
I was always of the opinion that Colo should get the WeeVee refit for more dakka.

Lol no, average players are braindead across all tiers but high tier BBs are a special case in themselves. The chance of meeting a decent high tier BB player is even lower than meeting a decent CV player in my experience. I fail to see how you can get pinned when you stay mobile all the time in one of the faster cruisers in this game unless you're completely surrounded, at which point you'd be ed either way. Moskva easily survives even concentrated BB fire when played at mid-long range where she belongs. Unless ofc you give them an easy target by staying still. Considering both your general performance and your performance in the Alabama I believe this statement to be doubtful at best.
-
Indeed we are. And I wasn't aware you need to stay still to angle or to draw fire.
-
From my experience? Pretty much everything. Although apparently I pulled some decent stats within the 15 games I had to play her so maybe it's just me.

Would make sense to release RN CVs with the rework to make players interested in playing it. But that's ways off. According to the newest Q&A they haven't even developed air to air combat yet at all and quite frankly this is where I expect the current prototype to fail. My guess is on RN DDs.
-
A couple that immediately come to mind: - Mikasa - Ranger - Myogi - Colorado - Podvoisky
-
I use my Moskva as a roaming cruiser and she works just fine. To use her as a bow on camper is a hilarious mistake in my eyes.
-
Quite frankly I don't see why the buff is needed in the first place. Moskva is a perfectly fine ship.

Well, technically speaking you get enough free diamonds every two months to buy a ring. Apparently the only time they gave out a freebie was when the system was first introduced over two years ago. Be aware though that all girls get a +5% on damage, accuracy and evasion once they hit 90 affection. -
I like the Midway upgrade actually. Two tiers worth of HP for strike craft is a very tempting offer, but on the other hand air speed is not a factor to be underestimated as it'll translate to less reaction time, strikes per game and your fighters will be barely faster than Haku's TBs. I suspect that without good minimap awareness and excellent fighter micro this upgrade will do more harm than good. It has both benefits and drawbacks, aka it's a well designed imo. Personally I'll give it a try, but I believe I will stick with the normal strike HP upgrade. I'm extremely careful with my strike planes as it is and rarely run out of them anyway. Haku upgrade is useless outside of ranked and competitive play in my eyes. I've experimented with the speed upgrade in the past and concluded that playing without the strike HP upgrade is practically not feasible. Especially considering that was over a year ago and AA has only gotten stronger since then. Actually since your planes are also slower that means the distance they travel into an AA bubble before you can react is also lower. And as you can't overcome your own reaction time (obviously) you'll technically speaking always take the same time to get out of a surprise AA bubble regardless of how fast or slow your planes are (UNLESS your planes are so fast that they essentially skip said bubble before AA even has a chance to tick, but that's an absurdly hypothetical scenario). In that regard the special upgrade is actually superior to the regular strike HP upgrade since it reduces the chance of losing a plane within the given time.

Well, as far as I've seen only FN Ballista has another pet, though she hasn't hit the English client yet and probably won't for some time. -
Meh, I'd love it. More caps I can take as a CV without pesky DDs and cruisers stealing it before I get there. Because we all know BBs will never take a cap in 9/10 cases. On a more serious note, I wouldn't be surprised at all if WG made planes capable of taking and denying caps in the rework. No, I'm not joking.

Proposal on how to improve stats, gameplay and economy
El2aZeR replied to Jethro_Grey's topic in General Discussion
Oi @Boris_MNE, the Skybuck you so desire seems to be slipping further and further away now that you have some serious competition. Better step up your game! -

I'm actually limited to bolt-actions and some other types due to legal reasons (you need a different licence entirely to buy semi-autos and handguns). Still, the pride and joy of my current collection is my Mauser Kar98k manufactured in 1943 with a side mounted scope (although the scope itself is a reproduction, originals are practically priceless). :D Ridiculously expensive to shoot tho. 50 rounds cost me 40€. It's too bad I don't like the default design of GF K98k. The perspective looks really weird and the rifle is way oversized. -
I mean, all skilled CV players including me told WG that implementing AP bombs is a hilariously bad idea, especially when they punish cruisers harder than BBs. Then again WG seems to think that whenever skilled CV players speak up in protest, that must mean it's a great idea. On the other hand Kronshtadt isn't really a cruiser, so I have to admit it's hard for me to feel sorry for you.
-
I read it in a dev post somewhere and did my own share of testing. Dunno if this has always been this way tho. You using manual drop? A manual drop almost guarantees that a ship vulnerable to AP bombs dies as your drop circle is about the same size as a DD. For most BBs (including the Germans) tho you still need to pray to RNG for a bit as the vulnerable zone is smaller still, but cruisers die 10/10 times.

"Auto losing because of braindead BBs/cruisers/DDs which happens far more often is fine. Auto losing because of a braindead CV is not." Again. It's funny how your crusade never applies to any other class. As for your point of view, too bad. Worcester will inevitably make skilled CV divs more dominant, leading to more auto losses for you.
