Are there any plans to do something with the IJN DDs any time soon?
AnotherDuck replied to SovietFury43's topic in General Discussion
I've been using mainly Yuugumo and Shimakaze to grind free XP for Missouri. No real problems with those ships. They fit my style of play well. Main reason I don't also play Kagerou is just because I don't have a captain to spare there (haven't since the line split), and I use Benson and Amagi for Ranked (the little I play, anyway). What I would like is a return to the old high-alpha type guns. They work much better with how you use the guns in an IJN DD. More rarely, but with high damage when you do use them. Trying to make them more like gunboat guns just means you have to play more like a gunboat, and they're just not suited for that. Shimakaze is in a weird place in the balance, but I don't think it's as bad as it's made out to be. Multiple nerfs and the advantages have been powercreeped. Could use a 100 m concealment buff, a 1-2 kn speed buff, or a 0.5 s gun reload buff, but that's about it. Also, the line split is just weird. While it's not supposed to be a gunboat/torpboat split (and it's not), Shiratsuyu is far more like Kagerou than any other ship in the line, so they should follow each other. Even if that's the case, which it isn't, are you somehow implying you regularly meet competent players? What server are you playing on? -
Rebalancing Tiers to improve gameplay
AnotherDuck replied to RAHJAILARI's topic in General Discussion
I think +/-2 MM is fine. It's a bit annoying when it consistently happens with stock -2T ships, but other than that, there's no real problem. Recently I've seen that I don't get T10 matches in T8 ships all the time, but more balanced around the tiers. Even T9 games are reasonably frequent, whereas before I practically never saw them. That's my opinion about cruisers and battleships. For the DDs I play I usually prefer +2 MM (if applicable). The only really awkward tier is the T7 DDs, since that's one tier before they get the concealment upgrade, so they largely lack the concealment advantage lower tier DDs tend to have. You also have oddities like Umikaze that works better at +2-3 tiers than equal tier. -

I'd go a bit higher for some of them. Myoukou-class are clearly adults, and Tenryuu and Tatsuta look older than the other CLs (especially in newer art). Some remodelled DDs look like like they belong in High School as well. Then again, anime style is hard to tell. -
Anyone trying to deliberately suicide to get out of a match should get banned from the game. If nothing else, if I see that kind of behaviour, I will ask WG to delete that user's account.

What Were Your Greatest Gaming Achievements Today ?
AnotherDuck replied to Hanszeehock's topic in General Discussion
Reading about greatest achievements is always more interesting when it involves personal records rather than good players having yet another great game. Nicely done. This game I had went well enough that someone started complaining I wasn't leaving anything to the rest of the team. Great fun Shimakaze gameplay (well, if you like torpedo gameplay, anyway), with 6 kills (new record for my Shimakaze) and 206k damage. It's very rare for me to get High Calibre in T10 games. https://replayswows.com/replay/13546 -

I've seen less than one episode. Absolutely nothing indicated anything of value, so I looked if there were things to look forward to. Found mostly complaints that they get things wrong. Not always in a "it doesn't work like that" kind of way, but representing common knowledge (for cooks) as revolutionary, and stuff like that. -
Dear Bismarck and Tirpitz players (Ranked)
AnotherDuck replied to ClappingLollies's topic in General Discussion
Sounds like a connection issue. -
Skill trees are a bad idea. They lock you into picking certain skills no matter how you do it. I was thinking Torpedo Armament Expertise for all the levels in Shimakaze. 30% faster torp reload, thank you. Or maybe a bunch of levels in Adrenaline Rush, take a torp to the bow, and then have up to 60% faster reload. Or both, for 90%.

That's not even a good anime... Not that I'm a food enthusiast or anything, but from what I've heard, they get cooking wrong, and it's an anime entirely about cooking. It's like if Spice and Wolf used Ducktales economics. -
Dear Bismarck and Tirpitz players (Ranked)
AnotherDuck replied to ClappingLollies's topic in General Discussion
No, no. They're in front of you. Usually. When the game starts, hit 'W' a couple of times and wait until someone starts shooting at you. That's a red one. Unless it's pink, but either way, hit control, click it, and then just wait for your secondaries to finish the job. If it's pink you might have to click to fire your main guns, since your secondary gunners aren't real men, and therefore avoid pink. -

At least it's less complicated than the mess that's WoWs' backstory. -
Dear Bismarck and Tirpitz players (Ranked)
AnotherDuck replied to ClappingLollies's topic in General Discussion
I'm not quite sure I understand. What's a minimap? I, in my infinite Bismarck wisdom, head towards where the red ships are. No quarter given; all will be burned by secondary fire. Oh, and sometimes I also use my main guns, but it's annoying to have to click more than just target someone for secondaries. -
The way I play Kagero (and most other IJN DDs) I often benefit very little from smoke. However, it's risky, and that's not a risk I'd take in Ranked.

I got a new kill record. Had an awesome game with Yuugumo. 8 kills, 170k damage, 1929 base xp. What more can you ask for? A win. Brb, need to post in in another thread... Replay: https://replayswows.com/replay/13407 -

I've used it on occasion when I'm too lazy and it's too long before something will happen. Or if I need to AFK a minute or two. Never had a problem with it during those times.

A BB with radar was a great idea, right guys?
AnotherDuck replied to Tekacko's topic in General Discussion
Almost as bad idea as radars in general. At least you meet fewer T10 battleships nowdays. -
This is the main issue and benefit with the RN CLs. They reward aggressive play that still leaves you alive. With how fragile those ships are, it's hard, but if you manage it you can do very well. Leander and Fiji are by far the most fun to play IMO. If there are no DDs on your side of the map, you can usually fill that role. If there is someone spotting for you, you can farm damage for as long as your smoke lasts. Unless you sit behind an island, in which case you can just farm on.

You know, with the first sentence, you had something going. Then you messed that up with the second. Shame on you. She's a total angel. Is this a question you expect a "no" for answer? I don't understand... Nothing wrong with vampire Yuudachi. And the pic you had there is one of the many I have as desktop background. Most adorable vampire is this one: That's one comic to read if you want more information about real ships than WoWs. -

Most fun: Tachibana, Vampire, and other low-tier DDs are hilarious for sealclubbing. Most of the IJN DD line is fun to play, and I really enjoy Bismarck (secondary spec, naturally). Of the cruisers, I'd say Myoko is the most fun to play. Least fun: Chapayev. Not so much the ship itself as it is the utter crap teams I always end up in. I think I have a lower win rate than the expected win rate if you AFK your matches. It doesn't help that the ship doesn't suit my style at all, as it's a floating citadel with gift wrapping for armour and no steering to mitigate it. Likewise Nagato isn't nearly as fun to play as any other IJN BB, including Izumo (which is okay, but not as fun as Kongo, Fuso, and Amagi).

Nah, it's not that similar of a game. You're thinking of Warship Girls, which is the same game as KanColle in a barely new skin. -
RDF/RPF/RL - Lets talk about it once again?
AnotherDuck replied to cro_pwr's topic in General Discussion
I find it was a little bit like Priority Target but more pronounced. It wasn't absolutely crucial for all ships, but it's a benefit to almost all ships. Priority Target isn't that useful for stealth destroyers (but if you have an extra point left over, it's still one of the better choices), and some battleships may not care that much. Likewise, Situational Awareness could be skipped in a battleship, especially if you didn't go for a stealth build, and personally I sometimes skipped it on the stealthier DDs, since that was before radars, and any time those ships are spotted, you're also spotting who spots you, so you had the same information anyway. RL I find is worse, since it's also an offensive (pun intended) tool that gives the enemies more limited choices, rather than just improves your ship. -

As for non-related shipgirls, I like this one. Mostly because that's so clearly KC Akagi. Even if it was drawn before KC existed. For me it was the other way around. I was trying for Bismarck, then I got Yamato and Musashi in consecutive attempts. -

RPF is almost as stupid as mountain-penetrating radars.
