it's not just weird, it's actually broken... as brought to you by the ever-excellent LittleWhiteMouse and her science team... https://forum.worldofwarships.com/topic/192541-continuous-aa-dps-explained/

was debating whether to just make this its own thread, but I'll leave it here for now (also for visibility). Brought to you by the ever-excellent LittleWhiteMouse and her amazing science team. https://forum.worldofwarships.com/topic/192541-continuous-aa-dps-explained/

that, or they actually improved the UI, it reacts faster to you zooming out now - and thus messes up your shots when it didnt before... I might play a few matches and see whether I can recreate what you're doing (assuming I dont forget... you know, old Hag and that... )

huh... that seems very strange... I mean, it seems pretty obvious that that is what's causing the issue... I haven't (consciously) been shooting that way, so I couldn't tell you with any confidence how it worked before, but on the other hand that seems like a very random thing to accidentally change with a patch...

I actually want to thank @ajosse6 for that though, because damn the opening post in this is still quite the gem.

grind? nah... I'll probably* buy the Pyotr (because lolwatthisisbalans), skip the Izmail, and play through the Sinop (because again lolwat). Will see after that. *this is all assuming my interest in the game comes back at some point (and no, I dont blame CVs for it^^)

uh... there's been this little CV rework... probably worth checking out - it certainly divides opinions, you might like it or you might hate it (or both at the same time I suppose)... only way to find out is to try^^

I bow my head in shame.

I've always meant to ask this, so I'll just do it now. How in the hell do you guys even find these threads to necro with posts like that? Do you use the forum search and look for year-old threads that make you think "oh boy this could use a correction or five"? No offense, but I am baffled over and over by this kind of thing... so I'll just pick you to ask

could certainly be interesting. Curious about the armour scheme - particularly how good the turtleback/citadel layout is.

every hour, more like... and they get more boring with each successive one, this one doesnt even have much entertaining REEEEEEEEEEEEEing...

he'd be in good company... both in terms of people sucking at T10, and in terms of himself sucking at yet another ship at top tier...

the people that would have to rely on Rental ships won't be able to hack it at the top ranks anyway - and conversely, if you're good enough for the top ranks, you're not gonna gimp yourself by using a rental ship that you're relatively unfamiliar with - you're much better off with a fully specced and equiped ship that you know inside and out.

always been once per day since at least the start of Open Beta - the same as, I think, literally every other achievement in the game (bar special event ones maybe)

something something go play Wartinder if you want modern stuff?

bit early to speculate about how to play Ranked when we dont know how the meta will shake out this time... More or less the same caveats apply as they do in randoms: dont overcommit to a cap and die, dont go solo anywhere if a CV is in play, be mindful of your spotting power (with smokes and such - much less relevant if a CV is in play^^), get used to the usual radar spots on a given map (helps to keep them in mind even when you dont see the enemy ships yet), analyse team lineups at the start... As for build - get Last Stand. ASAP. You are a much more important part of the team in Ranked, you simply cannot afford to die because you dont have that skill. I would probably recommend also making sure you have Survivability Expert for ranked (with a little bit of Elite/Free XP to boost the captain to 16 if necessary so you could keep BFT if you like), those extra HP are really useful especially coupled with your heal

historian here - yes it was bloody. Not significantly more or less so than in other parts of the world - until Europe developed its technological lead so we were simply "better" at killing, and then we actively made sure to export that advanced bloodshed everywhere else... Humans gonna human. That dark part of human nature is what we should all be REALLY REALLY glad institutions and ideas like the EU are keeping somewhat in check, instead of complaining about... well... the humans running them still being human and the corruption and other unsavoury things coming with that. Things could, and most likely would, be a lot worse than they are, thanks in no small part to the idea of a peaceful Europe that came about in the wake of two world wars...

there is one "standard" explanation for this - you do most of your damage where it is useless, i.e. farming HE and fire damage on Battleships that can just repair it. No idea whether that actually applies to you since we have nothing to go on, but... Also, Roon isnt an Ibuki. You have the armour model to be able to use your rear guns quite a lot even when pushing it - just wiggle dat [edited]back and forth around the 30° angle mark, your turtleback will keep you somewhat safe from BBs unless you just turn flat on. Just dont overcommit (I do that all the bloody time in my Hindenburg too...) - dont go forward so far that you cant go dark to turn out anymore, unless you are confident that you'll survive or have terrain options to make your exit. German cruisers are pretty tanky, but they're far from immortal.

Shima doesnt have any particular need for SI - you dont use offensive smokes all that often so three charges are usually enough, and you also dont need another speedboost.

guess we'll see when Georgia, with its 6x457mm cruiser dispersion (I think?), is released... didnt get much hype during testing at least... (and yes yes Georgia is a Battleship not a supercruiser, but that doesnt change what the guns are^^)

Aaaaand here are the stats for those three! https://medium.com/@devblogwows/st-new-ships-164cc63ad299

DPM right between Gearing and Harugumo in fact - and with 8% base fire chance... I'm just gonna repeat myself... topkek.jpg I am looking forward to this! https://medium.com/@devblogwows/st-new-ships-164cc63ad299

"only" something like three times the Gearing's AA strength on Friesland... topkek.jpg I am looking forward to this!

that makes it thread number... what? five million seven hundred eighty nine thousand three hundred and twelve with pretty much copypasta content? These forums sure used to be a lot more interesting and diverse a while ago...

yeah I know my Grozo stats suck... the ship is just too good for me to handle, I take it into stupid situations all the time expecting even more from it than it can deliver
