  1. Saw Tenacious_Torps just now on the opposite team on Shatter. His Atlanta and my Fiji. Got caught up in the DD slap fest that is B cap and we had a brief in conclusive gun exchange
  2. RUSSIANBlAS

    Is the Atlanta for me?

    I'd say No at this stage as RN Cruisers are basically more accessible now and even free unless you free XP or Belfast. Fairly similar play style but with smoke and torps to help you out. They only really start getting good at the Leander however. Alternatively win Ranked 3 times and get a free Flint. I've had my Atlanta long time and I don't use it all that often. Probably the best example of power creep. Apologies to any Atlanta hard core guys out there

    Normal penetration damage on DDs

    The best solution to this is to play Khaba... Sure it still takes nasty AP damage but the little thing absorbs HE like a mini BB without a citadel. You rule over those stupid little 'torpedo' botes

    Plea to Wargaming; high tier camping must go.

    I'm always willing to play a bit of cruiser but I think they're ok more or less. You just REALLY need to pick your targets and need to stop firing then start dodging like your life depends on it if folk focus you. Even then you're liable to take huge underwater citadels which essentially ruin your game... I'd say to play Cruisers well needs quite a bit of ability and if you're that good then it maybe better off just playing BB or DD.
  5. Ah I remember that now, your team got a healthy points advantage and I started the game by HE spamming you (if that was you). Somehow you survived until late game as you sneaked off instead of dying like a potato! Your team pushed C pretty hard and I made a conscious decision to go kill instead of cap and we drew it back. Usual pointless players that sail into far corners instead of staying in/around caps. Was a good game from my perspective atleast

    Plea to Wargaming; high tier camping must go.

    Best quick fix is simply not play high tier, don't buy top tier camo, don't free xp anything above T7. Then don't play higher than T7. You'll enjoy yourself more, probably never have games that go 20 mins and you'll save yourself money you can spend on beer/nibbles/other games/etc WG "might" put a bit more effort into tweaking the meta then but chances are the potato horde will reign supreme.

    Change to flood mechanics

    It's hit and miss because some are better at managing flood and fire. Also that's why you have guns too, if you know they've repaired flood then HE burn them. You'll still get the DoT (damage over time)

    Change to flood mechanics

    Flooding is a death sentence because the torping player has got you at a good (well bad) time when you've burned your Damage Control... Deal with it

    Plea to Wargaming; high tier camping must go.

    The reason why DBs kill DDs is because the DD player plays like there are no CVs on the map and assumes the free roaming stance that months of no CV play has engrained in them... You draw back slightly if there are CVs on the table or you take a DD with Defensive fire.
  10. You had a free port slot with RussianBias, WG considers that enough fun for one year and that everyone should be thankful

    Plea to Wargaming; high tier camping must go.

    I think I keep saying it but it's partly because of those stupid 5k doubloon camos. T10 should be a privilege not a right but with the wallet warrior camo it means every kiddie can play his Yam or other T10 yolo ship all day long doing mediocre with no repercussions...
  12. Ah yes, so many forumites its hard to recognise someone but now you mention it! Can't remember the game itself off the top of my head...
  13. RUSSIANBlAS

    Plea to Wargaming; high tier camping must go.

    This has been the case for awhile now. It's why I refuse to spend a penny on free XP upgrades or Perm camo as after T7 you simply have less fun a lot of the time. Doubt it'll change any time soon. Garbage maps like Tears of the Desert don't help either!

    Kharba now upgraded to Invincible

    I've been playing it with both rudder upgrades, might aswell get used to the nerf. Although I'm loathed to play it much unless its on the PT as I'll need to get used to the slower rudder.
  15. RUSSIANBlAS

    tiny immersion nitpick

    I think WG might add more pretty effects like that over time. They're adding more realistic fireworks and smoke from guns, despite their RussianBias™ they are naval buffs and I can see them seeing if its possible with the current game engine.
  16. Some argue CE isn't needed as you fire from so far away anyway when you're shooting. I'm +1 away from it and I'm still mulling it over...

    Cruisers MM talk

    Will never happen however bro, WG likely make a lot of money from Hull A free XP skipping folk... Suffer or pay
  18. RUSSIANBlAS

    Cruisers MM talk

    Personally I'd like to see preferred MM when a ship is Hull A then the full fat MM once you've unlocked most of the ship. Only because I am grinding Pepsi and it is incredibly painful trying to survive in a T9 game completely stock

    15.5 cm/60 (6.1") 3rd Year Type

    Lel... No I agree, I've started grinding IJN Cruisers (at Myoko) again in preparation. Zao and Ibuki are a bit meh but Mogami seems like something special now.

    DD game play

    SF has been discussed in loads of topics so expect a shut down at some stage I guess... The changes to SF means (for me) that IJN and USN DDs have to maintain a STRICT no firing policy as it's a death sentence if you dare open up in the wrong situation. Even to the point of playing like a Ranked battle, e.g steering away at full speed from a knife fight as you'll slip into detection faster than the silly enemy DD who's announced to your entire team where he is.

    I tried 155mm Mogami in PT, pretty sweet with IFHE. Sadly will need a unique captain to take advantage of it...
  22. RUSSIANBlAS

    DD game play

    Hey, lets be fair to WG now. They're nerfing the Khaba even though it's Russian My issue with SF going is the detection of your ship can be changed by installing manual FCS which is utterly stupid. I know the game isn't a simulator but I can see most players now deliberately running their IJN and USN DDs with stock range in an attempt to lower their firing bloom which feels completely silly to me. I dip into Tanks every now and again because the Prem account carries over, I soon quit when I get sniped from nowhere by a camping Tank Destroyer or 1 shoot killed by a higher tier tank... Also I can't stand the peek shooting a non critical corner of an enemy [edited]either

    Games have become too one sided

    OP has a point, whether you actually win or lose a lot of games feel like one sided stomps. Usually boils down to which team wants to push or if a team's DDs win the slap fest at the start or not. The less willing team usually retires to the back of the map and watches the points tick away... Again I don't have any stats to support this but everyone knows stats can be manipulated

    Pensacola is it any good now? (Review)

    After they removed those trash WW1 era IJN Hull As yes! Although I understand some people liked the look of those, if not to play...
  25. RUSSIANBlAS

    Pensacola is it any good now? (Review)

    Yes... Normal WG practice, spend money on free XP or suffer Rare is the stock ship that is actually playable and competitive out the box!
