Bots: Skill levels in Co-Op compared to Random?
Elenortirion replied to ThinderChief's topic in General Discussion
actually this was not only not unlikely scenario [neither entirely fictious] as this is how averages are prone to be easilly manipulated by extremes thats why for alotta of statistics with numbers involved the extremes are often rejected when speculating "average" there are unicum players for every class and superunicum ones as well - the difference between "average" player and those unicums is quite noticeably high, that comparable amount of extremes in the other wide would actually have to have nearly zeroed stats on their averages for them to balance out thsoe unicums and bring back class averages back to the level of average players [which average players tends to be more potatoish than less] -
I have just got an idea how WG could fill the gunboatey split line up to T10! [not sure if worthy new thread for this so will write it down here] T9 - same thing as kagero-yuugumo relationship but with akizuki instead of kagero - grab later ship of the line slap some buffs to it and call a new ship [my pick would be maneuverability buff <rudder shift, turn radius>, T9 choices of torps <quintiple launcher? I've heard it was considered to mount these on akizuki class ships later on?> ofc and maybe some touch to shell potential damages?] TX - super-akizuki [also known as project V7 if memory serves] now as for justification why superaki should be able to handle herself in TX - remember our current TX IJN DD shimakaze? that was experimental ship meant to test out new propulsion system - later on there was designed so called "supershimakaze class" which was meant to be mass produced variant of it none of them finished, big chunk of them canceled, and those who were nto canceled were send to.... being converted to superakizuki class main difference that I am aware off between akizuki and V7 is that superaki was actually fast ship, and that she had second torpedo launcher

I'd rather say that his edit sounded more like someone who were nto allowed to share actuall knowledge hinting to people so they can throught simple deduction realise the knowledge by themselves free respec is a must have and it is not even under question if they'll do this xD they would have committed quite serious shot in the leg if they did not included this I mean - this is basically tech tree reshuffle - the scope of changes is much higher than just swapping torps around some ships, and even if they did not considered scope of torpedo changes a while ago enought to justify free respecs for ships affected they ould have to be braindead to continue to do so with tech tree reshuffle....

0.8.4 Overmatch mechanics revisited
Elenortirion replied to Ian_MacAllan's topic in General Discussion
if I recall correctly they never worked "fine", and in imminent prcedence to "BB flood" cruiser players complaining on this were outcried by BB players whining on torpedosoup actually improving CA survivability against battleships was on the list of suggested solutions to torpedosoup issue, unfortunately list not popular enought to get to devs throught "hurr durr DDs op nurf them" mob and if I kept link to last statement of evs on the case I'd gladly linekd it here, but I didn;t so you may need to ask uncle google for that if you do not believe what i'll say now: WG have officially stated that they will not "balance" any class [beside special case carriers] by MM waiting time aka hardcapping amounts of them per batle - they have even provided explanation why ah ok after reinspecting the suggestion I have noticed that he do not only invert the placing of bounce check with overmatch check but also changes where which leads..... then the problem is of different aspect implementing this would greatly screw the damage calculation mechanics and could lead to alot of issues that OP would never be aware that could be caused by such seemingly small change basically in current model AP shells deals damage simply calculated and defined only by the point in a ship model where is has exploded now what that suggestion changes is that with it ontop of this, game would have to remember for each single fired AP shell [maybe also depending on actuall implementation of shells in game code also for HE shells] if the shell penetrated because of no bounce being in place, or because of overmatching triggered later may seem not much, probably a byte or two to data to process on shell object to remember.... problem starts when you take into consideration how much shells are being fired per match.... you se were I am going? -

wasn't that thread created to discuss about our kancolle/arp/haifuri waifus? D: -
and yet tuccy has pointed us out as a hint to past cases of prem or event ships being doubles with cause of event rewards have you actually read his edit in his last post? it is basically "guys if you curious how this will be solved look up how similar things has been earlier handled in case of reshuffles and some premium/event ships being given out a double from mission rewards, and keep in mind that ARP ships are neither tech tree nor premium as this could mess you up a little!" so how your "it does not feel right because of how word compensaation is defined by dictionary" to that obvious hint from community manager? [as for sensible reasons why in such cases double ship could be being compensated by silver and/or port slot - because otherwise the best way to do would be - if you own kagero - sell your fubuki, and rebuy it's t6 variant after the split, which would leave you way ahead with credits when compared to these who did not sold fubuki for any reason really - and believe me if it went life this way without community managers screaming about it for month before update there would be uprage on forums on "why no one have warned us" ah wait even then there would be such uproar - is that sensible enought for you?]

0.8.4 Overmatch mechanics revisited
Elenortirion replied to Ian_MacAllan's topic in General Discussion
afaik the idea behind overmatching mechanics is that in theory for every sheet of matal plating there is shell big heavy enought for thet plate to not me able to bounce it like - ever think of it as shell beaing so bug/hevy in comparision to that plating that it basically rip it off when hitting on the angle where lighter shells would bounce you suggested change would very likely lead to things like destroyer (!) with it's 19 (!) mm bow armor bouncing a yamato shell I think we all know what is the only possible way of destroyer 25mm bow facing yamato shell, right? question is though if the overmatching numbers are correctly ballanced maybe some improvements could be made here? -
I think he knows as he made this list

Kamikaze R in the premium shop - That was fast...
Elenortirion replied to Nechrom's topic in General Discussion
yeah before I checked the date of the OP I was already thinking it's a thread about WG cashgrabbing to sell kami R prior to IJN DD split xD -
your step 2 is mistaken a little bit - no retraining on putting cap back to kami R means not that it swaps for kami R specialisation for free - it means he can command kami R without respecialising into a ship so in step 3 he is still shira cap

Elenortirion replied to Kancolle_Kongou's topic in Off-Topic
that does not exclude her being overally rather calm person, although I must say as we have over here in my native language perfect word to describe what I have meant [which also perfectly fits to what you have said] but all the english translations gets wonky :/ according to google translate: possesed [lel] calm [what I've used] composed [maybe fits better?] sedate [first time I see this word] enslaved [wtf google translate?] self-possesed [maaaybe?] crazy chicks [like kongou] are ok, but it gets just lil bit too much overtime, so for longer relationshis I'd pick a girl being able to control her crazyness and live in orderly fashion - with everything having it's place and time to be -
thats your assumption based on not really clear post of devs lol somehow I have missed this post of Tuccy, and then I read this edit as pointing out past cases of similar reshuffles or obtaining same ship again the only cases I recall was campbeltown mission [i hope I spelled it right xD] and arp ships from second tour of missions now if I recall correctly the former was awarding it's credit value for people who already bought the ship pripr to finishing the mission while ARP ships awarded 1mill silver instead of duplicate ship the note regarding arp ships in this context may point out to the fact that as neither tech tree nor premium ships, arp ships do not share common standards of defining "ship value" and as you can see - vague statements with two widely different interpretations and out of us two you are completely sure that your interpretation is the only one correct with me having just widely different feel on it - and that's one of problems agarwaen was so loud about PS. as for my decision making I'll sorta trust tuccy on his claim of optimal scenario being keeping the fubuki and buying kagero in case someone was jumping from t8 to t9 now so I won't be seling my fubuki
-
because at this point I don't really care about t6 fubu, not going to sell t8 kagero and 6 mill of silver could get handy? you see that "a bit" less is alot of silver for my standards actually ironically depending on how exacly said double on t8 compensation is handled I could actually sell now t8 fubuki, rebuy t6 fubuki after a split and still be ahead on silver [so I could for example outfit takao with modules she need instead of waiting till millions of silver racks up] on the other hand the main thing stopping me from doing exacly this is lack of sureness this thing takes into account owned permacamos of ships not being present in port, as for once I may want to keep that permacamo on t6 fubu EDIT: as far as we know - there is no direct equivalent the shortest route for her would be securing hatsuharu in your port prior to patch and use t6 hatsuharu from compensations to skip t5 and maybe part of t6 to just get to shiratsuyu - but other than that she does not really replace any ship in the tier brackets, she's new additional ship, so as far as we know for now none of ship you can own now will give you her as replacement for the tier

Elenortirion replied to Kancolle_Kongou's topic in Off-Topic
well I would not mind a girl goign burning ravu on me like kongo did on admiral... as for nagato, apart from hidden "shoooo cute" personality the big thing going for her was her calm attitude toward most things and then there is also a matter of personal tastes as for my tastes this: looks more attractive than this: -
pleasepleaseplease tell me it won't go out as a destroyer into any of PvP modes >.< or with anything armed with torps at least...... as an answer - when you are nuff pink game reflects your damage deal to ally back to yourself as a sort of last resort of bringing you donw to earth and learn the lesson to pay attention to where you are launching your torpedoes.... and your "I don't care" stance is literally worst stance any captain armed with torpedos could have....
-
and again which torps do you mean "as best" on fubu? and you you were spreadign them? with fastest 10km variant I had no issues to reliably hit BBs lol less damage xD and then as I frankly don't really care but I'll likely be bringing akizuki to rankeds, the place where you can hope for teamplay is the best place for her, and it'll be bringing insane DPM and big AAA for these matches where CVs are present hopefully captain skill tree revamp hits before next ranked season..... of course assuming it being t8 for higher leagues. for sure I'll try to be ready with all ships from between t5-t9 just in case
-
swift reminder, at WW2 the radar thingy was just being introduced..... and akizuki class destroyers were commonly misidentified as cruisers because of that characteristic funel, mostly seen on cruisers... not to mention the point when some CV based aircraft strieked zuiho thinking it was much bigger target..... or the point during battle of the coral see when japanese aircraft nearly landed on american CV because it was late and everyone were sleepy already [one could think that those carriers looks differently..... ]

you are ruining my excuses for not playing yet >.> as for topic thought if we were to add another narrowed catehgory, namely kancolle anime [aka me chosing only from between characters featured in anime series] I think I'd have hard time trying to choose between nagato and kongo...... -
Brit CA producing one ball of smoke only
Elenortirion replied to Mik1984's topic in General Discussion
people need to start realising what the term "CA" means firstly guy jumping out with "atago is good heavy CA" now the guy with british CA newsflash - CA is heavy cruiser, heavy cruiser is defined by having main gun caliber above 155mm [i hope I didn't messed up the numbers xD] so the first one is basically another instance of "RIP in peace" [damn it, moon moon] and the example over here is refeering in his OP to ships that are not present in the game at all regardless of a bug considering british light cruisers [RN CLs] -
A-poi-calypse now: the Great Wall of Torpedoes
Elenortirion replied to dasCKD's topic in General Discussion
the fastest one are 73kn if memory serves 8km range or did you meant detectability range and speed of the ship herself? -
or no pens depending on the ship he was playing, it can be difficult to get any real answer if he have not enabled advanced ribbon mode

there is one minor, but unrelated to his question indeed

is that supposed to be farifax error thing? O.o
