I have sniped potatoes out but I personally feel if they're that much of a push over then you are better off training drops against the enemy and practising achieving air dominance. I'd argue there is never the need to snipe out an enemy CV to win a game but being able to drop torps on the heads of DDs or other harder to hit targets is always worth training up.
-
Please don't take the Colorado into Ranked for your own sake. It is just way too slow, if you don't dominate the side you pick it's basically over. Faster ships will literally run rings around you. Plus her armour isn't actually that good since her HP pool is so so small... Fiji it up if you feel like protesting about P2W Belfast.
-
Yes but it's really starting to F me off. It's disrespect, and I imagine they only do it because so many players are bad. It never succeeds against me, especially not in the Saipan where I've full specced AA to punish the sniper noobs further. It's no good as training for Ranked but I imagine there will be lots of sniper noobs at the mid levels...

I played 3 games just now, works as she's always done. It's an L2P issue even with the power creep. You've got the most accurate guns of pretty much any BB at any tier, use them well.
-
A lot of players head for the B or H lines or whatever these days and make utterly no effort to cap. Usually BBs, I lost a T8 game just now where I was the furthest forward ship. I was in a Warspite... Special mention goes to the idiot in the ARP Haruna the other day who followed his CV division buddy around doing NOTHING except as some sort of bad escort. I checked his stats and he was a T9 player with everything in the BAD zone
-
I think the current CV MM is a learning experience of sorts, I've recently got into a Shokaku and sometimes when you are matched vs T10 it is utterly brutal as you're essentially just anti DD as that's the only thing that wouldn't melt your squadrons instantly. Too many CV kiddies have no idea how to attempt to attack DDs or that they should prioritise them above other things...
-
I'd consider Vigilance and Jack of All Trades as luxury skills. I don't feel EM is that useful as I BB a lot and can cope with slow turrets.
-
I bought Belfast and unlocked Fiji today and with a bit of time spent I think I prefer the Fiji... IFHE is more reliable at all angles and distances but the short fuse AP isn't bad at all. I'd rather have torps and heal over HE and radar. Plus you don't need a captain with 14 points (IFHE and CE in Belfast) as 10 (just CE) will do fine in a Fiji and the rest are just luxury skills. Got a feeling I'll be taking Fiji into Ranked over Belfast at this stage.

Trump Wagon is a bit harder to play if you do not understand the high tier bow in meta. Scharn is easy to jump in and earn a few credits, decent MM and very usable guns with forgiving armour.
-
I've never had an issue when popping smoke at 19/18knots then coming to a full stop.
-
That looks about right for a defeat... The extra income is built into the ship and has nothing to do with the camo.
-
You're not wrong, I actually feel this thing is better than the Belfast. Heal and torps beat radar, plus you don't need a captain as skilled since you don't need to take IFHE so can spend on other useful things like Jack of All Trades and Vigilance that much sooner.
-
imo best way to earn credits is just to get a Premium Account, that way you earn on everything you play well. Also get containers with credits and do those weekly missions as they almost always have one mission in them where you can earn 1 million.
-
wtf is this? It's like the weekend of CV sniping, every 4 games I play I'd say in 3 of them the other CV will try and snipe me. I'm going for a full AA build in my Saipan as I've already hit all the essential skills.
-
Not sure about the Flint since it is so exclusive. But I've bought the Belfast and unlocked the Fiji today and I can't help feel it could be better than the Prem ship or at very least it's equal. The short fuse AP does almost what a Belfast equipped with IFHE does plus it has torpedoes. Don't have radar but instead has heal instead. Best thing for the Fiji is you don't need a hyper skilled captain to do well, arguably Belfast needs a 14 point one as you need IFHE and CE. Fiji can rock with just CE as a single 4th level skill, everything else after that are just luxury perks.

Ranked T7 : does Hiryu have a chance ?
RUSSIANBlAS replied to Cadelanne's topic in Aircraft Carriers
I find it really hard to consistently hit DDs with Strike Saipan. Even though I know it's trying to get it into minimum arming distance so they can't dodge it or cross dropping... Saipan planes are strong enough to bomb a lot of same tier targets as a single squadron then wait to see if they flood and repeat for GG. Hiryu I find I need to go all in with multiple squadrons to divide out the AA damage. Didn't realise Prem Ship XP counts in Ranked towards the final score.... That is some bullcr@p right there! -
Lost a game today where our Lex targeted the enemy CV and BBs rather than the DD solo capping and torping everyone on their blind side. He was strike too so could have easily killed said DD. Skill based MM would be even worse than it is now, likely that the better among us would never get a game. I probably get about 1 in 10 CV games that are actually vs competent people so that would be a lot of waiting time. It's too cliff edged I agree as I rarely have "balanced" CV games, its a face roll for 1 side most of the time.
-
Maybe in isolation an MK is a hard BB counter (I'd still disagree) but judging by the amount of BBs in all tiers still this doesn't seem to be the case. Super RU IFHE spammer is only any good if there are other ships to keep the BBs busy.
-
I use Prem consumables, even for float planes of all flavours. Too many credits... I imagine I have trolled plenty with ships like the Yam which has a reserve of 9

Destroyers - whats the point of higher tiers..?
RUSSIANBlAS replied to ulthien's topic in General Discussion
Because Fletcher and Udaloi, as well as lots of other ships... -
I've got both the Fiji and Belfast today. Both actually feel pretty similar. Even down to the shells. Fiji AP and Belfast IFHE seem to so similar damage to broadsides too. Fiji seems to be fine with a 10 point captain however Belfast really needs a 14 point one.

Is T8 supposed to be shittiest tier for Cruisers?
RUSSIANBlAS replied to MadGelo's topic in Cruisers
Look folk who are having cruiser issues: Take CE with a 10 point captain. DON'T fire for the sake of a single salvo revealing you. THINK before you shoot. If you are revealed and you're being painted with high calibre AP then use rudder, vary speed, use smoke, DON'T SHOOT BACK and try to slip back into concealment. -
I've only played 2 games in her so far but Belfast is essentially a closer ranged Kutuzov specialised towards DD hunting...

INDEPENDENT SHIP PROPULSION DRIVE ENGINES/BOAT SCREWS
RUSSIANBlAS replied to TK_KUCO's topic in General Discussion
Take Last Stand captain perk. Pretend in your mind you've only lost one side of your ship's propulsion/rudder...
