RUSSIANBlAS

Saw Leo_Apollo11 on Estuary just now on the opposite team as a Tirp. I was in a Sims. Sorry I couldn't say hi, was a bit busy. Unfortunately Leo had the in-dignity of dying to my gnat bite HE spam right at the end...

The Texas is the T5 USN BB that feels "okay" because atleast you are essentially immune to AA and have a slightly better ability to fire all guns when angled. Add being painfully slow to that list as the Kongo's speed gives her amazing flexibility. For the average player, if they've gone the wrong way in a Standard USN BB they are essentially out the game and could just quit back to port.

There's an element of that yes and any BB who rushes straight away is a bit silly but there are plenty who never go anywhere near a cap or offer any support other than to fire from 20km... I play BB mainly and the amount of times I've died with the cruisers and DD where the rest of the BBs are sitting on the B or I line

Maybe it's about time WG gives all USN BB that accuracy module that every other nation has...

It's rare I torp anything in my Trashkan... I take that Rudder 2 upgrade and steer like crazy although as a result my concealment is up to 9.1km same as a stealth Atago. I will hit Udaloi soon however

At a guess she wouldn't need it. The fire chance is needed and the direct damage isn't shabby at closer ranges either. Mind you, fires are not an issue when you can literally land dozens of hits every minute...

A lot of talk the drop rate has been nerfed, impossible to say as the prizes are done at the point of sale. WG are never going to admit they've screwed everyone over out of thousands of pounds by g!mping the drops...

Is anyone still buying them?! I'd have thought folk would have stopped given all the nerf talk around the ship drops...

Afaik only Bismarck Hydro is being nerfed because of all the whine. FDG and Kurry keep theirs without being shortened.

Higher tier gameplay doesn't favour that sort of range. Getting something like Tears of the Desert or that stupid Ice map and it's unlikely you'll be torping anything. Mind you, I do better in my Tirp vs high tiers than I do in the Bis as I have a full stealth build. 12.3km detection helps prevent Yams and KurryWurst farming you!

Problem is getting into that range, 6km torps are situational whereas 10km secondaries will fire every single game.

Gnesi cannot bow tank just like the Scharn! You need to offer her sides up so enemies shoot that thick belt armour. Bow tanking is for T8 BBs and above or that silly French Dunker thing

A class cap for everything would actually make random battles a bit boring. Games would start to take the same format every game. At least a lol MM keeps things mixed up and keeps some folk complaining

I'm convinced Tirp and Bis shoot slightly differently, or that Gun Accuracy module actually makes a significant dispersion difference. Overall Bis secondaries when fully upgraded are more powerful than 6 km torps as they're useful more of the time. Hydro is pretty strong too, as long as you skate around the 7km to 12km mark you're not getting torped and that's the range everything will come together for your weapons.

The cynic could say OP didn't help his team and farmed damage instead Sometimes a 70k damage win is far more skillful than a 150k loss...

That's a bit harsh, Indie is perfectly playable. I won one too, wouldn't have paid for it but it can play a part. Radar makes no sense on it as it's an AP merchant. Would be a better ship if more played cruiser however.

On Mission 6 of the Convoy. Want that Tirp camo... I've been getting the 500k credits task with the Atlanta of all ships.

Fine ship... In fact it's my ship of choice for that 500k credits in 1 game Convoy mission. Has an excellent credit multiplier it seems. And have some screenshots. It is an extremely situational ship, you have to island hug like mad. Open water=instant death. There was a reddit post a few days ago, can't find it again but it's of a Unicum Altanta player uploading the top locations to loiter in on each map. Those guides have led me to the above scores. There's certain points on every map where you can camp behind an island and let your team spot for you. From there you can do a simply obscene amount of damage and the enemy cannot even see you. One of those games I did 30k damage to a Scharn, Bismarck and Cleveland. None of which could do anything about it. I may even decide to try and grind the Flint, an Atlanta with good torpedoes and smoke would simply be op in the right hands...

DA F@Q?! Those NA missions. Commander XP ones and the free XP dispenser... Also no one should be complaining, we should all be desperately grinding the Convoy missions. The same ones WG didn't think we would have time to complete as we are too busy trying to ram ships

Seriously, it pretty much isn't worth trying for the 4th mission unless you're doing it to prove a point or to troll. If you've got a Premium account you'll earn way more trying to get it!

WG are too lazy to put in the Imperial German flag yes. (Didn't they spout some rubbish about it being too hard to implement yet their own Russian ships have correct Imperial and VMF ensigns) Still, ships like Konig and Bayern have hypothetical upgrades which might have taken them into 3rd R*ich era so there's only a few incorrect German ships.

If a cruiser is that close and you do not trust RNG/your own aim then fire single turrets off at a time. Amagi has 5 separate turrets, you only need a few good shells and the cruiser is f**ked.

Do you main German BB? There are subtle differences in all faction's ships and between individual ship classes within them. As in sometimes I'll go back to the Atago when I've been playing a lot of German BB and I won't be able to aim properly for a game or two. I often watch each salvo quite intently and adjust for the next one if I'm getting used to that ship again. Fire enough shells out of a ship and you should be able to adjust, given that you're no complete noob.

I actually think the new skill tree makes it less accessible to the common player. As someone now with a 18 point captain will be extremely strong whereas before the threshold was only 15... (You can take 3 level 4 skills at 18 points). Heck I don't think I've got a captain with that much XP yet

Either you have serious issues with RNG hating you or you can't aim properly sorry... Aim lower at waterline for crusiers and a little higher vs BB. Tirp is one of the greatest cruiser hunting BBs, until Scharn came along. Arguably still is with the stealth CE build imo
