    [TORAZ]

  1. Thought it might be a good time to restart my KM cruiser grind and repurchased the Königsberg. Accidentally killed a teammate with torps while brawling a Gneisenau. T_T

    Team torped again :-(

    I accidentally killed a teammate with torps today. Was in a brawl with my newly re-purchased Königsberg against a Gneisenau, killed him with guns before my torps could land and some friendly DD down the line apparently sailed into them. While I ask myself how he sailed into my torps without deliberately turning into them, I did throw them from the second line and I accept full responsibility. [edited] happens.
  3. You honestly believe that the current playerbase will get tired of it? If anything they will demand to be able to specifically queue for BB only games.
  4. Just got Belfast as my first SR. Should I take this as a sign to buy myself a pay2winfast? Anyway, have some 'murica.
  5. What do you mean? The only class that can actively hurt itself, thus manually inducing AR, will ofc benefit the most from it. (I'm obviously joking) Forget just BBs, I use it on almost every ship. The benefits for just two points are quite frankly ridiculous, AR could easily be a 3 point skill and still be worth it.

    T10 CVs, for or against?

    Ironically the addition of RN BBs was a significant buff to CVs, as they tend to strip any ship clean of medium/small caliber AA guns in just a few hits.

    Flamu: Nerf Conqueror already!

    You know something is wrong when you'd rather get shot with AP in a Neptune than HE. (Was a random snap-shot between islands in stealth on his part, all of his shells hit the upper belt/deck/superstructure. I had no chance of evading that)
  8. Z-23 (guns) - my pick USS Laffey (allrounder) - should be noted that this is DD-724, not DD-459 HMS Javelin (speed)
  9. Well, there is also an autoplay option, but the AI kinda sucks, so it's really only useful on maps you have long surpassed in level. Torps are only really dangerous when they're employed en masse (as they are in the event). A few of them are easily avoided. Only seen a couple of bosses have fixed pattern attacks so far, though I guess the amount will rise in the future. In my experience the ones that are harder to avoid tend to deal less damage, while the easier ones hit like bricks. Anyway, I thoroughly recommend giving the game a try. It's certainly more fun than watching a pure RNGfest. :)
  10. Just tried the current autumn event. Obviously got wiped with my low level ships (ships are level 15 max, event is level 50), but it actually is kinda like Touhou. :D As seen in the video it is impossible to avoid all shots, but that is not what's required anyway. You "only" need to avoid hits that deal large amounts of damage (such as torps).
  11. GZ now has sirens for her DBs. Too bad she doesn't have DBs currently.

    Gate - Anime recommendation

    Ah, the incestuous killer twins. A classic.

    RN BB NERF(rebalance) incomming?

    This isn't about if we've seen worse or if it has happened before. Everyone and their mother knew that Conqueror would need rebalancing before she was even released. That we've seen worse simply means WG has failed to learn from their mistakes and will quite possibly continue to do so.
  14. Tbh registering was actually really quick and easy, just follow this guide: http://blhx.wikia.com/wiki/Registration

    missouri - AFT or manual AA

    Don't even bother trying to get CS. It's basically impossible T9+.
  16. Let's just say the things she has seen (but thankfully not experienced) made me wonder how she could sleep soundly at night for the rest of her life and leave it at that. Huh, this looks genuinely fun to play. Might be worth all the pain I tend to experience when dealing with mobile emulators.

    Flamu: Nerf Conqueror already!

    (seen at 3:50)
  18. Pretty sure it's just a deliberate design choice. Most modern Chinese netizens are fairly cool with Japan (at least until the next Japanese politician breaks off another [edited]-storm). Then again they're also the ones who tend to read manga, play video games (including KC) and so on, so that's hardly surprising. Same can't be said about the older generation, though. And imo that's more than understandable. My grandparents lived through the war. My grandmother talked to me about it only once. I'll never forget her words nor the haunted look she had. (But yeah, let's not get political in here lest we get shut down by mods.)
  19. Yeah, you can run it on an emulator if you wanna go through the trouble.

    What premium BB should I buy?

    Uhm, Atlanta is neither a T8 nor a BB. I think you meant Alabama, right? Regardless, as Negativvv said T8 premium BBs are very close to their tech tree counterparts. Pick the one you enjoy playing the most. Amagi -> Kii North Carolina -> Alabama Bismarck -> Tirpitz Any T8 premium earns a respectable amount of credits so you don't need to necessarily worry about that. If you really want this to be a deciding factor, Missouri is still the best credit earner in the game, but apparently Kii with the custom camo comes very close (the one in the ridiculously expensive Admiral's Edition).

    End-of-map boundaries flaw

    I agree, it should be possible to leave the map via border, but your ship should also self-destruct within 10 seconds of leaving it. Negate both exp and credits income on top of it. That means any BB that drives head on towards the map border will be unable to turn around in time, making it a great deterrent for those camping along it.

    Carriers can they do or dont...

    It is paramount in a CV to adjust your position according to the flow of the game. Being closer to the enemy means shorter flight paths, increasing the amount of strikes you can fly per game. And ofc being closer to teammates means you'll get help in time when you find yourself in a pinch. There are a couple of rules you should follow, though: - Always make sure there is island cover between you and the main enemy force. If there isn't, be extremely cautious and stay a bit further back - Have the minimap maximized to it's largest setting (hit + on the numpad). You should do this in any ship class, really, but minimap awareness is even more important in CVs than in other classes. - Take note of what you see and what you don't. If planes haven't shown up in the first few minutes of a game, chances are they are on their way trying to snipe you. If a DD hasn't shown itself all game, he may be trying to do the same. Your ideal position should look something along the lines of this (although it is a very extreme example):
  23. Only seen Enterprise before: The Yorktown sisters are the only USN CV designs I like so far tbh (Hornet left, Yorktown right) I mean really:

    RN BB NERF(rebalance) incomming?

    And as outlined previously having AA as the only weakness is a recipe for disaster. Conqueror having workable AA in the first place is just insult to injury. All of the enemies targeting you is equally unlikely. If that is the case simply stay in stealth and retreat. Which is an indicator of bad play on your part. Citadel ceiling never matters because plunging fire does not exist in this game as anyone familiar with the fundamentals should know. Turtleback does not matter because you never need to hit the citadel ceiling anyway, as anyone who looked at Yama's armor scheme should know. Do that on a more consistent basis. Perhaps you just fail at the Conqueror, which given all your statements seems to be more than true. And despite that you still manage better statistics than most of your other T10 BBs.

    RN BB NERF(rebalance) incomming?

    Which makes AA as a weakness completely obsolete? So either you rely on your div or you pick one upgrade and one skill. Such big limitations. Damn, holding fire to stay in stealth is so hard. So much of a weakness. Waiting for your opponent to shoot before firing is such a big limitation. Which is surely fact and not your imagination. Newsflash: Shooting the superstructure gets the same result on every BB. Yamato and Monty? Especially the former considering her raised citadel, a harsh drawback to pay for her lolpen ability. Conq 419mm guns have comparable penetration to 16"/50 guns. Accuracy means very little when you do not have the damage to back it up. Having over twice the effective HP means Conqueror has worse survivability than GK. Keep dreaming. Well damn, Conqueror does not have good secondaries. The ONE thing it does not have. A negligible amount last I checked. Even if, GK still has neither the survivability nor the HE alpha to back up such a playstyle.
