Yeah, divisionmate in his Lo Yang had a derp of epic proportions and just took three torps for no reason (in a Lo Yang of all ships). Not sure which one of us two was more flabbergasped at what happened, him taking those or me watching it happen ... he'll be hearing of that in TS for some time

Oh please, as if bow-on camping only suddenly started with the prolification of turtleback armoured german BBs. Talking as if forcing players to learn how to not give broadside will inevitably result in bow-on camping is missing quite a few steps in between, several of which branch out into actual competent gameplay if the player learns how to utilize other skills such as reading the minimap, positioning and the ability to turn in between salvoes. Punishing stupid gameplay isn't a one-rail track to another form of stupid gameplay!

Imho that would be a better thing though. Nerf BB AP damage vs DDs (increase the fuze threshold so the thin armour on DDs doesn't arm the shell -> overpens only / Khaba 50mm troll armour would still be enough to arm the fuze) but do something to get rid of hitting a DD with a BB HE shell only to have a module soak up all the damage and the actual ship losing no HP. BBs should be forced to switch to HE to do meaningful damage to DDs and AP should only ever be either a last ditch effort vs very low HP DDs (or up close when you can land enough overpens to get good damage) or a throwaway salvo if he doesn't want to waste a reload. Because I can say from my own experience, there's two reasons for me having stopped bothering to switch to HE in BBs when I shoot at DDs: Hits get soaked up by modules dealing no damage (and most of the time it doesn't matter to me if I knock out a gun or a torpedo tube, the actual damage is more often than not much more important to put the DD down). Overpens might deal less damage than a HE penetration, but they will consistently do damage and there's always the chance to get a full penetration which will hurt MUCH more than even a good HE hit. And this shouldn't be. Coincidentally, raising the armour threshold to arm BB AP fuzes might also benefit cruisers from catching fewer full penetrations to the thinly armoured aft/bow and superstructure sections. And reworking the underwater ballistics might just end up being a nasty indirect buffs to BBs with low in the water citadels like say the Iowa/Missouri and Montana which will get much harder to citadel even if they give broadside. We already have enough german BB players that apparently never learned how to angle because the turtleback almost immunizes them to devastating citadel hits. Lazy gameplay shouldn't be rewarded by nerfing the consequences of bad play. Getting nuked when showing broadside is part of the learning curve!

Had @159Hunter and @Taliesn in a game, Hunter on our side and Taliesn on the red team. Sadly I was in my Z-23 (a ship that's simply not vibing with me ...) and the enemy Taiho did a good job in area denial (together with the Minotaur), sotting and ultimately foiled my last ditch yolo rush on two of the enemies' BBs by forcing me to manouver with a crossdrop. Been getting an unusual amount of potato CVs on my teams today in general, most vexing.

Des Moines? Weak AA? Who said that and what drugs was he on?

Considering your furries don't even wear any sort of underwear other than socks ... mkay.

Between the Imperator and the Ishizuchi, I actually like the Zuchini more. The sheer armount of DoT you can stack in a game firing nonstop HE is preposterous and the actual direct HE damage isn't much to sneeze at aswell. Not something like a smashing Imp volley, but together with the fires you WILL set, the damage potential is enormous. Imp is still the king at nuking cruisers, but if you ever see an Ishizuchi firing HE at you and you're in a battleship ... ngehehehehe

Reminds me of that one movie about a Nimitz class supercarrier somehow being flung back in time for the attack on Pearl Harbour ...

Go apply for the forum police then.

Except that you don't make the rules, that Horin didn't violate any of those rules that are actually in place and that you are completely, 100% free to simply ignore topics you don't like ... which for some reason you didn't and rather add to the few posts trying to impose your opinion on what others should be allowed to post or not. I'd take a wild guess and say you're terribly bored if you have nothing better to do than make unconstructive remarks in a topic you deem unconstructive.

So we can all agree on you not being allowed to make threads about anything but the most awe-inspiring, right? We should form an independent comittee to properly evaluate what is post worthy and you have to run any suggestions through us to get a posting permission. Deal?

Because WG. What other reason do you need?

How about a simple no to the very concept of special captains? ESPECIALLY when they come with extra passive skills that activate upon some arbitrary requirement and give advantages over non-special captains. Plus I already have several highly trained captains for the ships I'm playing/grinding and introducing more captains with better captain skills just means I have to grind the captain up to stay competitive against anyone who did. But I suppose that's one way of creating an elite captain XP sink if WG found that allowing captain retraining for free with elite XP takes away too much of their doubloon-instant retraining revenue ...

More like a new way to squeeze doubloons out of people. Also, old news is old and not news.

Well, at least you got 30 Juliet Charlie signal flags ... oh wait.

Austria. Any temperature are which chocolate starts melting is considered valid reason to declare a state of national emergency. And havaduck is going the extra euro-aussie mile by living with two hotblooded chicks that do naught but cuddle under his clothes, which naturally ends in quite a sweaty threesome all the damn time. He even has the balls to complain about that!

Rudder is fairly fast, you can get it down to 6,7 seconds with the Steering Gears 2 upgrade. Plenty fast enough for torpedobeating through last ditch torpedo spreads from DDs that you just nuked a moment ago with your HE broadside.

Funnily enough I have the opposite experience as of lately. I seem to be getting a lot of matches with CVs (and I like that very much even if I'm not in an AA monster!). So often in fact I finally undusted my Iowa after I had let her collect rust in port when I stopped grinding towards the Montana a good while ago. And what a time for me to grind towards the Des Moines Question now would be, am I just unusually lucky (or the contrary depending on my ship selection) to get all those CV games, or are you getting unusually few CV games?

None of those things you described are cheats and/or possible to cheat in this game due to the server authoritative model and how it handles and sends the necessary data.

Yeah, they edited their article (no mention of an update though, sneaky).

Not quite on the same level as other Fate/Series OPs imho, but still an earworm.
