    'Bamboo Blade' immediately comes to mind. I've also heard people recommending 'Musashi no Ken', but I never watched it so I can't really say if it's any good.

    Realistically though the only situation that OP in his battleship wouldn't be spotted by anyone on the DD's team with his firing detection across literally half the map and instead directly by the DD hiding in smoke would be if he were so thoroughly out of position with a lone enemy DD hunting him that honestly that tidbit of WG coding genius really wouldn't make any difference to the inevitable result anyway if that DD isn't as mechanically challenged as OP proves himself to be.

    Damn ... Third line is almost bingo. Also, why do you guys even waste your time trying to explain game mechanics to that potato? He couldn't have made it any more clear that he's got no intentions of learning ...

    That doesn't make you a whale. That makes you a P 1000.
  5. Aotearas
    Ah I see. The classics can indeed be tough to play. The term "Nintendo Hard" didn't come from nowhere after all.
  6. Aotearas
    I don't think "NPC" means what you think it means.

    [Nerf Bat] Yueyang being slaughtered

    Aotearas replied to __Helmut_Kohl__'s topic in General Discussion

    Yep, if this nerf goes through the Chung Mu is flat out the superiour ship of the two. It was only in half-jest that I asked WG if they wanted to just switch both ships' tiers around ...

    Ranger no good? Bruh, fite me bruh! All-out damage CV/L (no fighters but plenty oomph), dirt cheap to field (low oil cost) and if her skills (instant airstrike cooldown reset and with the retrofit double damage with airstrike) proc the damage potential for ye olde RNGer can spike to obscene levels (all the way to infinity in fact). Had her skills proc four times right after another, that gave me four airstrikes, one of which did double damage ... at the same time! F***ing insta-nuked a 12k/11k PvP opponent that I was only fighting because I was out of refreshes and he'd give me the most XP on what I assumed would be a loss anyway. Easily among the hardest hitting CV/Ls in the game on EN server so far and easily the highest damage potential you can get for such low oil costs. Just bring something else for AA along.

    Citadel, yes. Damage, lolno. BB AP at this tier overmatches the grand part of the hull in its 27mm armour. And the amount of HE damage the Hindenburg takes from 203mm HE is substantial given its size and generous amount of superstructure. Taking 10k HE damage per volley from something like a Zao is a regular occurence and even rushing a Des Moines bow-on for a driveby from just a couple kilometers way is going to cost you a crippling amount of HP. Any brawl really is going to cost you a crippling amount of HP. A Hindenburg can survive a brawl better than any other cruiser in the game and arguably deal a crapton of damage to its opponent (if the torps don't get knocked out mind you), that's true, but that doesn't make it a viable gameplan in the overwhelming majority of situations you're ever going to find yourself in. The central part of the hull, not everything including the bow/aft of course. Really, just the strip of armour above the mainbelt (which is essentially half the lenght of the ship) getting buffed from 27mm to 30mm would do the trick. Because that's where you catch the majority of shells at anything shorter than maxrange (for the Hindenburg) and there BBs like the Montana just overmatch clean through all the time.

    [Nerf Bat] Yueyang being slaughtered

    Aotearas replied to __Helmut_Kohl__'s topic in General Discussion

    Wouldn't change anything in CBs. It's not the DD that's doing the damage after popping its radar, it's everyone else on their team. It's the norm in CB for the DD to do barely any damage at all as they're way too valuable as a spotting and area control asset than to risk them in a gun fight. The only part of the proposed nerf that would tangibly impact the Yue Yang in CBs would be the torpedo reload nerf, but realistically speaking with literally every ship except the BB running hydro (and even then there's the odd GK pick) and the opposing DD (which you can't hit anyway, duh) screening it's a rare occasion to actually get any lucky torpedo hits when someone didn't cycle their hydro correctly or got caught in a moment he couldn't afford to turn away (be that island in the way or the threat of a BB blap if he turns). There's only two things WG can do to break the Yue Yang dominance in CB: Flat out get rid of its radar entirely. Introduce CVs, which would shift the DD meta towards more AA self-sufficient DDs like the Gearing and Grozovoi.

    Cross-server Clan Battle MM test

    Aotearas replied to Aotearas's topic in General Discussion

    The current technical implementation at the very least, yes.

    Well, what I've been saying for quite a while now is the german CAs should get an AP focus rather than lolHEpen. The biggest issue with german cruisers is that whilst the AP alpha is amazing, due to how light the shells are they lose an awful lot of penetration at range which means even a moderate angle and suddenly the vaunted german AP just shatters on basically everything thing isn't superstructure. I'd give them improved penetration angles to make their AP more consistent and have them use that great AP dpm rather than just fling mediocre HE at everything because you get basically guaranteed damage due to the lolHEpen. Likewise I'd change a good deal of the 27mm armour on the hull to 30mm to make the ship better at angling against BBs rather than just eat overmatching hits from everything with a higher caliber than 15'' (at least for the tier IX and X), which would make a smartly angling/wiggling german CA much more survivable at midrange against BBs, making it possible for those cruisers to operate at ranges where the AP would be much more effective rather than be railroaded to trading HE at maxrange. Hell, I wouldn't be opposed to WG testing the idea of an AP-only CA line and giving the german CAs RN CL AP angles and fuze times at the expense of not being able to shoot HE at all, if it works it would certainly be something to break up the monotone HE fiesta (though I somehow doubt that would work in the current BB meta, nor that it would be necessary in a meta that wasn't BBs everywhere, soo~).

    Pretty comprehensive and very much true. Can we get @Crysantos to pin this?

    Yeah, buy BB perma camouflages instead.
  15. Aotearas
    You're thinking too onedimensionally. Have this ship, have division mate, be mobile island cover for divisionmate to fire over whilst being hard to hit in return, cackle in glee everytime you get the Ocean map in a Worcester.

    YueYang incoming Nerf

    Aotearas replied to SR_FRIOL's topic in General Discussion

    I like the avatar change
  17. Aotearas
    I'm not saying a nerf wasn't deserved, the Yue Yang was too strong. But this ... oh boy.
  18. Aotearas
    Hmm, I wonder if this will also effect the torpedo reload on the upcoming PA VIII cruiser that also uses the Yue Yang torps.
  19. Aotearas
    The ability to slot radar is going to keep her relevant, at least in competitive (where individual ship dpm isn't that important for DDs anyhow), but as far as random play is concerned that nerf is going to impact her numbers significantly.
  20. Aotearas
    There are so many ways WG could've balanced the Yue Yang without that sledgehammer nerf to its damage output. But it just shows how WG just MUST shoehorn gimmicks onto ships and then just try to hammer out the dents when it doesn't work out. Coincidentally we're now presented with a situation where the tier IX ship of the line is undoubtedly superiour to the tier X. At this point WG could just go the whole way, do ye olde switcheroo, demote the Yue Yang to tier IX and make the Chung Mu the new tier X. How does that idea sound @Sub_Octavian, eh? DPM nerf is 33% to the main guns and ~15% on torpedoes.
  21. Aotearas
    Probably refers to the (former) SC upgrades.

    You guys know there's such things as t-shirt print shops, right? You could make yourself that image on MS Paint or whatever, set the image background to neutral, put it on an USB stick, go to the shop and have them simply print it on a shirt for you.

    tier 10 premium ships

    Aotearas replied to Garfield4's topic in General Discussion

    Naw, Egosoft already got their reality check with what happened with the last X-game-that-does-not-exist. Also, they aren't sleeping with Activision (or EA, or Ubisoft for that matter), which helps a great deal in not devolving into a share-holder driven cashgrab circle-jerk.
  24. Aotearas
    As a playable ship I meant.

    Bismarck is going to take a while, afaik she's only recently been leaked. Did you mean Torpitz?
