Are WG changing the direction of your torps? ? ?
OldschoolGaming_YouTube replied to OldschoolGaming_YouTube's topic in General Discussion
But she wasn't the director of Star wars, was she? Yes, but then same should be said when saying she destroyed Star Wars. I don't think producers like her has that much to say when there is big name directors etc involved. Unless of course you are Tom Cruise and is the producer, star of Mission impossible movies. -
Hindenburg or Venezia
OldschoolGaming_YouTube replied to RenfieldSyndrome's topic in General Discussion
Both are extremely strong when played right. I would say Hinden is the easier to play in, Venezia has amazing Alpha but need a bit more skill to play good. Hinden you can just sit at 21 km and spam fires on BBs and radarcruisers. Venezia is more movement and use of smoke and dealing massive strikes against enemy DDs. Have games with both cruisers on my channel. My first game in Venezia was Insane. Both lines has hits and misses on T 7-9, think Italians will win in the end tho. -

Don't really get the comparison since she has been involved in some legendary films? Color purple Back to the future E.T Gremlins Indiana Jones The Goonies Miracle on 8:th street Jurassic park Schindlers list etc etc etc. I would love to see her take over control of this game at this point. Cant really get any worse, only get better. -
Torpedoes really are broken
OldschoolGaming_YouTube replied to Miscommunication_dept's topic in General Discussion
Since torps (except for the implementation of Deep-water torps) has worked pretty much the same since CBT 2015, im guessing this torp-aiming-bug got introduced when WG started to put Submarines and their homing torps into the game files. I don't think this will get fixed any time soon since it doesn't affect CVs so don't hold your breath. I just wonder what else is not working as it should. Soon we will have homing submarine torps and depth charges and new Russian CVs, wonder how well these mechanics will work considering WGs history. I'm worried. -

Apparently, we can only launch torps while sailing in straight lines now days?! Turning either direction while torping (which one does most of the times) will make your torps turn to the left or right of target? So, they "home" of target in the same direction that you turn while launching. Considering this and all the old buggs (like islands bug for amin battery) you haven't fixed yet WG. Please consider checking stuf before you soon launch Russian CVs and Submarines? Or are we just stacking game breaking bugs on top of each other and hope no one will notice? At this point I'm wondering what else armament isn't working as it supposed to do? We already found faults in Main battery and now torps, and they already implemented Skip-bombs and soon we will have Hybrid ships with airstrikes and Depth charges and submarine homing torps, when will we find faults in them as well? -

People NEED to stop reporting CV
OldschoolGaming_YouTube replied to Ezorrd's topic in General Discussion
Not really since ive been in this situation many many times as a DD Main. First of you don't have to open fire when your hunting a CV, the second the CV gets hard spotted by you (which he pretty much need to be if you are hunting him) it should proc an reaction from him which means he sends his planes and investigates, finds you and then (unless you always play Halland) you are in a world of hurt and pretty much need to smoke up and stop your "hunting", which also means he knows exactly where you are, he steers in the opposite direction and cvs can hall [edited]. Ha can also angle his ships so its a slim profile towards your torps and with WGs RNGesus torp gaps you can be lucky if you manage to land any torp at all. If you try to continue to "hunt" him after this he will keep you perma spotted for his team and continue to strike you and even if you are a Halland he will finally get you if he has any skill at all since his planes never run out. And "Gunboat him to death"? In what DD?! Im guessing, we talking just Harugumo or Kleber then? Have you tried to "Gunboat a CV to death" when hes angled and you are chasing him in about 70-80 % of the DDs in the game? Its not easy with their massive, armored decks that your guns can't pen or bow/stern. Meanwhile he will have a field day blasting you to bits. -

It proves the point that this is an unwanted, broken, unbalanced class that ruins that game for the huge majority of the playerbase. It doesn't really matter if you choose to play what you feel are less powerful ships in this class, its still a class that is unwanted, broken, unbalanced and that doesn't have to deal with ANYTHING that the rest of the 3 classes has to deal with (positioning, angling, crossfires, destroyers and their torps, HE spammers, CV ...!?!?!) Unless of course they are asleep at the wheel and doesn't react at all to minimap (which is usually the case). Thats that thing. Most players has ZERO interest in playing World of Airplanes in this Warship title (there is another WG title for that). Not all has a interest to join the God mode class and just crap on all the players that actually take time out of their lives to learn basics and mechanics in this game, watch videos, watch streamers and Youtubers to get better skilled at a class, getting better at making plays, using tactics, flanking, angling etc etc etc. Some actually wants to play this game as intended, not just sit in a corner clicking at stuff while eating a sandwich and watching reruns of "Breaking bad". So, my translation of what you say here is "When I tried to play the game in the real Warship classes and failed, I go into the "God mode class" where I don't have to deal with any BS any longer and I can just get my revenge on everyone". Close enough? Where you got you comparison with shooting someone with a gun IRL from, I have zero clue...?! Would you say the same about people on the street protesting, like for "Black lives matter"? Some would probably say its "stupidity and desperation" that some people chose to take to the street and protest for different issues. But in most cases that's the only thing they can do to effect change. Just like giving BS, meaningless reports in WoW is the ONLY thing majority of the playerbase can do to voice their opinion about the CV class. And please .... pretty please .... with suger on top..... give me an example of a "well thought out and reasonable report". -

OldschoolGaming_YouTube replied to Ezorrd's topic in General Discussion
No, they shouldn't, they got fired before the ship got sunk, they are "blind" just traveling the path which they got fired, no more inputs from the player available at all. Compare this to a sunken carrier that in my own experience could fly circles around my ship, keep me perma spotted for all other players on the enemy team and whenever he felt was a good time, while I was focused and engaged in fights with his remaining ALIVE teammates, he could just set up perfect crossdropps on my ships (because that is of course something else carriers can do which negates all angling skills in the world from the guy he is dropping), and wait for potential damage cons from my side, keep my spotted a little time longer ....... cross drop again for perma flood ..... keep me spotted ....... wait a bit ...... maybe just do a "fly by" just to distract me when im fighting for my life against his ALIVE teammates .... and then drop me again .... and at this point his SHIP (World of WARSHIPS) has had time to turn into a coral reef on the bottom of the ocean. And he gets his 5 min postmortem Flesh wound. Would you be equally fine with sunken DDs just being a "ghost ship" 5 min after they got sunk and just sipping around the map, perma spotting the remainnig ALIVE enemy players and just setting up perfect torp runs (since no one, not even radars can detect them any more..... because they are DEAD....) and sink 1 or 2 more ships and maybe even get a double strike and/or 2 flesh wounds? Or would this be outrageous for you.....? Can a CV player actually move his ship? They can but never do, because they are lazy. So they sit in same place on the map until a DD that often has gotten spotted a few times on his travels towards him is 5 km away and torps him. Can a CV players turn his ship...... like everyone else ....... those pesky WASD hacks ... to dodge torps (which is pretty easy to do when you actually steer your ship)? YES THEY CAN ! ! ! They just can't be bothered .... because they are playing World of Airplanes. Have you ever tried to torp and greif a CV players that is actually using his WASD keys for once? Im a DD main and I can tell you its hard A-F to land any torps on a AWARE and average SKILLED CV player. Can he spot a DD whenever wherever and nuke him into oblivion? Especially when he gets a notice at all times his ship is getting hard spotted by said griefing DD? Yes! ! He can and he will! I must say, for a DD being able to "greif" and torp a CV player for 5 minutes that has EVERY WAY of countering said situation .... and he still gets "greifed", it would take the biggest glue eater/window licker out there. (but of course.... WG hasn't implemented a training wheel like they did for fires and damage cons on this situation ....... yet...) So hopefully you understand that its quite hard to pull of that comparison. Mid/lower tiers is such FUBAR. With MM at these tiers being like this I find it hard that WG gets any new players to this game at all. The other players in those games with ZERO AA is just damage pinatas for those 4 new CV Mains. But I guess thats why WG has made it possible to just buy their way into T7, 8, 9, 10 with Premiums..... -

People NEED to stop reporting CV
OldschoolGaming_YouTube replied to Ezorrd's topic in General Discussion
Not really, a person just owning a gun or using it as a sport and training isn't ruining the day for 22 other persons time after time after time after time, every day. I don't really get the issue? Reports do Jackshit to the carrier player except to call him out for playing a game breaking/ruining class. If you enjoy to play such class and ruin the game for everyone else then just take the reports and laugh in the back corner while you enjoy your god mode and wall hack. If I would choose to play a similar game breaking/ruining class in any other online game I would gladly take the reports (that does exactly nothing to me except call me out on it) and just play on. Problem is there is no other game that is similar in this way to my knowledge? Maybe that should be a signal..... Just the other day I was playing in my Georgia and I pushed up a flank and killed the enemy CV player that of course had zero map awareness (as they do) and apparently was surprised that a Perma spotted Battleship was pushing up the entire flank (while taking attacks from his planes) and still he was to lazy to move his ship (because this is World of Warplanes) and he died. But of course, being the almighty class and Super protected class he still had squadron up in the air so while I was dealing with 2 remaining BBs after he sunk he could still 4-5 minutes after his CV had sunk strike me over and over until he finally got me with a flood. Only a flesh wound ....... 5 min after he died ...... And they wonder why people report them on sight ...... -

OldschoolGaming_YouTube replied to OldschoolGaming_YouTube's topic in General Discussion
It wasn't my interpretation, it was Flamu´s. My point was sarcastic at best. So then maybe WG should only just use Oceans as a map since they clearly can't code around islands (also the new shallow areas that Flambass got stuck on a km or something away from the shore?) Me to brother ... me to. I'm a DD Main so now I should "test" this for WG to see if my torps go anywhere else then I aim? I'm I an employee of WG or am I a paying customer that plays a game in my leisure time? Is the "Live" server the test server now? Don't WG have own employees to test this stuf?! Can't wait for submarines and Russian CVs to hit the live servers, wonder if they have tested them before release or if all torps in the game will suddenly home in on targets? When a game has this many issues, as the former mentioned aiming bug around islands, WGs aiming assist and now this, maybe its time to fix those issues before releasing new classes into the game. But what the hell do I know..... -
3 part question regarding the Friesland and upcoming changes
OldschoolGaming_YouTube replied to OldschoolGaming_YouTube's topic in General Discussion
Ok, sweet. maybe that 1- or 2-point skill that makes your smoke/hydro consumables have longer duration can be something to consider? Then you could negate the bad concealment and creep smoke/hydro into a cap and force out any contester. Yeah, I just thought you wanted your Friesland to get moves to Dutch. -
3 part question regarding the Friesland and upcoming changes
OldschoolGaming_YouTube replied to OldschoolGaming_YouTube's topic in General Discussion
Forget about those. back in the day Zao had like 2 km stealth fire! ! ! I used to park within that window in open water and just spam HE and fires on parked BBs and they couldn't see crap. It was a good thing it went away, one of the times WG got a thing right. Is it worth speccing in to AFT and maybe Fearless brawler or are the arcs an issue? But I think you can trade her in for a Groning if you want that instead. So then it kind of moves to the Dutch. -
3 part question regarding the Friesland and upcoming changes
OldschoolGaming_YouTube replied to OldschoolGaming_YouTube's topic in General Discussion
I had to Google that because I thought it was something Sexual ..... boy was I disappointed .... Nice stats, do you have a good build to recommend for it? Heard that she can lose her turrets often which is a problem in a DD with no torps. This is my question as well.... I'm Swedish so I'm leaning towards grinding/playing European (Swedish) cruiser line when that gets released in the future. But Dutch cruisers comes first and they seems pretty fun as well (read: OP AF and broken). So I think I will need a Captain trainer for both lines. That said, didn't WG say anything about a Dutch Legendary captain as well Swirsky is Amazing for Halland. Get his activations every game. Unfortunatly I only have Halland and not Småland so my Swirsky is very torp based. So will put suievmievbj ksjemlkej on Friesland. -
People NEED to stop reporting CV
OldschoolGaming_YouTube replied to Ezorrd's topic in General Discussion
Most players I know use up all their reports for CVs (in both teams) until they run out. It's a kind of protest for a game breaking and game ruining class in the game which makes the rest of the 3 classes have to change up the way they play just for those 2 players enjoyment. Playerbase can't do Jackshit to WG and making them take out CVs from the game so instead they go after the players playing the class. Maybe they will get tired of reports and then they stop playing the class and then the rest of the 3 classes can play how they want and even use flanking maneuvers and tactics, which is useless when CVs are in the game. Is this fair? No! But its the only way the 90 % of the playerbase can make their feelings known. And now WG releases Dutch cruisers with airstrikes and Russian CV line......... Don't expect reports going away anytime soon.- 431 replies

New rocket mechanics in Detail
OldschoolGaming_YouTube replied to totally_potato's topic in General Discussion
DDs will be best counters to submarines so if anything it should be a buff to DDs HP so they can push in while spotted and deal with enemy subs, if not, no DD Main in their right mind will bother hunting subs for their team. If WG buffs CVs then all DDs will definatly let the subs roam free. Why push in danger close to hunt subs when newly buffed CV will just dev strike you? -
Naah mate, then they could actually get hit by submarines. These are the latest pictures of the Russian CVs......

Another Hybrid but its much much worse
OldschoolGaming_YouTube replied to totally_potato's topic in General Discussion
when do Destroyers get Airstrike squadrons? WG really have a hard on for changing this game into World of Aircraft carriers. Soon every ship in port will have Torp and rocket squadrons on deck. A not so funny anecdote. When I was on summer holiday in Marmaris, Turkey in 2001 USS Kearsarge went into port the last 2 days, but IRL it was a hybrid carrier. So the day we were going home to Sweden, USS Kearsarge had left Marmaris and was at sea. We went on the transferbus to the airport to catch our flight but since the transfer was so long we stopped at a gas station for pee break and to buy more water. When I was standing in line to purchase my water I saw videos on the TVs in the station when planes was flying into skyscrapers and exploding, and being a huge movie buff I was like "COOL, a trailer for a new Schwarzenegger movie or something". It took me a couple of seconds to see the rolling CNN banner at the bottom that said "Terrorist attack in the US". Yes, it was 9/11 .................... and I was heading to Marmaris airport to catch a flight..... ...... from Turkey........ ...... which neighbors is usually not on United States Christmas card list.............. And an American Aircraft carriers has just left this port and are now probably at Action station at sea due to a huge terrorist attack on US soil........... And we are about to take of in a big airliner ................... same kind of airliner just used as a weapon of mass destrucion in an attack on USA...... Are we gonna survive this flight? Will USS Kearsarge shoot us down and then just go "Ooops, sry, it looked like they were gonna go to mainland US". So you know when everyone says "You will always remember what you did on 9/11"? Its true in my case. I was heading to an airport, boarding a flight flying over a very angry and hostile US Carrier. That was what I was doing on 9/11. -

Decisions, Decisions … on what should i waste my coal?
OldschoolGaming_YouTube replied to ThePurpleSmurf's topic in General Discussion
Not really a stats guy, just go by what I have seen in post battle results playing with or facing them and its usually not pretty. Also haven't seen many games getting featured either by Super unicum streamers or big YouTubers. So, I draw my conclusion from that. But maybe it is good. But I would probably go for Cunningham anyways. Having a Captain that gives you free extra consumables every other game so you can spend those 3-4 captain points on something else is a pretty good deal. Only other Legendary captain I get to proc even more regular is probably Jerzy in Halland. -
Asashio guns are decent even tho slow reload. Not really the same Alpha as Shimakaze but decent and also decent fire chans, so I always use them to set perma fires after getting massive strikes with the torps. Dont know how many BB, cruiser and DD kills I bagged with those guns. Also a Asashio on a flank scares BB players more then any other DD and CV in the game. 20 km Deep water torps that you never see until they hit you. And you never know when he used his reload booster to shoot of 8 more.

What use have tier V premiums ?
OldschoolGaming_YouTube replied to Beastofwar's topic in General Discussion
I wouldn't call it seal clubbing. I would call it "OP unbalanced broken Azzz tier 5 premium" instead but that doesn't really roll of the tongue the same way ........ If I for instance took another T5 premium out (like Murmansk) I wouldn't be clubbin sheeeeit. Curious question. When a well experienced good player play T5 and get sucky games is it still Seal clubbing? Or is it only when they get great games? -
Decisions, Decisions … on what should i waste my coal?
OldschoolGaming_YouTube replied to ThePurpleSmurf's topic in General Discussion
Dont have Yoshino but only hear bad things. Cunningham on the other hand is imho one of the most OP Legendary commanders there is? If you use him on Thunderer and Conqueror you get a free consumable every time you get Arsonist (i think?) Which you get in EVERY game in those ships. And after 2 kills (which you pretty much is guaranteed as well) you get some more cool stuff. Works also pretty good with Daring, Nelson, Belfast and Mino. -

Only T5 i bought was Murmansk back in the day when it was OP A-F, rest including Kamikaze R I gotten for free thru events or campaigns. Only T5 I still play is Kamikaze R
