I don't know how I should play a few dozen battles per day. I manage one dozen, and it takes me about 4-5 hours. A few battles with clanmates, some didn't have 5 stars yet. Can;t have that... Then grinding the Shokek for a bit. Uhhh... OK yes spank me, I ruin everyone elses winrate... BTW thanks Masterrrr @El2aZeR I think the force is strong in Shokek too. Quite like these IJN waifu thingys.

There's the sign you still need more GitGud. Yesterday I tried a Freisland in my freshly baked Shokaku, went fine, also 3 cits and a kill on Des Moines. I'm not THAT good. But in Lexi... no problemo. Whack 'em.

I agree with that, except I'd make it: Any mechanic allowing the DD to survive OTHER FIRE better when SPOTTED by planes.... I think that "hurricane model" from last page is a good idea.

Exactly. But that is why the title "broken AF" was invented. A ship that is not OP in average hands (can even be bad) but can be maxi-exploited. Now...if I can just learn how to do it...

Hahaha you almost killed them all. WTF is a CV doing in co-op? I tried a few times but well, games don't last long enough to be any way effective.

Didn't really mater HOW good he was, as long as w he was better than the other guy. OK unless you had a total-derp and a mega-derp. That was more comparable to the reeeework now. WG should do two things: - Make AA TRULY randomised, so the planes do not actually "steer" the Flak anymore; - dump the continuous AA bubble and make FLAK heavier, even at T3/4, and on DDs. DDs had similar amount of AA as cruisers. Most had even better, as they could use their main guns. This was actually why they invented the "light AA cruiser" and stuck them full of DD guns. Well Kami's are not really a problem, as long as you WASD properly. But THAT is always gonna be an issue...

Oh, and another thing, at least we will not have parking jokes. Drunk WG autopilot means everybody has the same problem...

Ah well. But at point blank it might MISS the whole Smolly. Happened to me... dammit... OK survived the torps and then put him down anyway...

Ah good. I'm not that far away from it. Algerie is the one cruiser that I can devstrike in Ark Royal... with HE bombs... I'll try that tactic, so far Algerie, just gets blapped. But every line has its "Emerald/Danae" I guess.

Well seems you "get" a smoll [edited], so that might apply both ways eh. But also appears you can compensate, so maybe handy.

I dunno why it has them, I never use them much. I did use them once and then I found I'de never hit anything because they are too short range... Boarff. I rush Klebbies and Shoimas and that stuff in my Conqkek. Hell yeah. At 15+km with Conqkek, Smolly go BLAP. Doesn't reallty matter if it is broadside or not. And I know that from BOTH sides. The problem is just the same thing as CV with DDs. When you are in a CV, they all cry for air cover and they want you to blap the DDs so they can farm themselves at leasure. And when you are in a fat BB yes they want you to blap the Smolly (which you can) but they are too lazy to keep it spotted (for 30 seconds). And the BBs want the cruisers to blap that annoying Smolly so they can farm in peace, so when I spot the Smolly in my cruiser, also: nothing happens. I'd say - when you play in a divsion, Smolly is not a problem. When you play solo... in randoms... man ANYTHING can become the problem.

OK spaded the Skokek... WTF citadels.

Well I'd say if he enjoys BBs get him Oktobura Revolutsyayayayyaa because that thing has AA up the wazoo. My son is in WOWS too and he plays DDs... got him a Sims and that started it all.

Well I got the perma-camo for free in some event-grind, so looks like I must grind Henry. I have that "bionic" camo for the whole line starting from Algerie... so far I find them all quite meh. Maybe I haven't discovered the playstyle yet. Now, I do have Moskva "done" and I can go concentrate on those Frenchies. But I find them pretty average so far.

Yes. And you were. He is right. Then, you have really bad aim. You must be playing weekends - have a look at the experience of @Aetius85 above. That is basically you playing CV. Which is what the bad ones will keep on doing. OK they first yolo to cap. And then they die, smoke up and die or stuff like that. You mean: hoping the reds get finished off first. In which you now actively are contributing with the CV. Yes. But you have LEARNED it is your mission to hunt fat ships at T4. Not the DDs. Enemy AA at T4 strong... ???? Wait until T8.... In T4, there are not many BBs... what I saw at T4 was 1 BB, 3 cruisers and d rest DDs. Lots of them. However when you reach T8 then "service cost" will mean you need to focus the fat ones. Else you'll bleed credits. Many CV players cannot do it... I do agree that the design of CVs is waayyyyyyyy off. DDs too, as indeed what you say they do at T4 is true, also. Which is also because T4 BB drivers... well... eeehmm... This game just promotes stupid play. And at T10 they gave me Smolensk.

I find it rather meh too. Nothing it is really good at except fires, really. Oh, and run as soon as you are spotted. IMO it is like 20km Shima but with firespray. Ditto! There you have it. @Miragetank90 and @Lieut_Gruber we must use the torpedoes more, that's it. I think the thing is broken, I don;t get much fires with it. I think it was designed by RNGesus to get more sheep.

Yup. Fat BB HE from 10km is the cure. Players that hate Smolensk, only have to spot them. BBs will be happy to oblige.

You are assuming he will not understand what is wrong with CVs. Not everyone is like that. Also, he came to ask on the forum so that means he is smarter than the usual. Have hope, padawan.

He's not really that far that he can see the problem there. I think he'll see it when he starts playing other classes.

Ther is a DD problem ya know. The poor buggers rely on stealth. 2 salvoes from a cruiser and they are dead. CV is spotting them, means free shooting for the cruisers. Now get 3 CV match, and you see the problem. The dishonesty is that really a DD had as much AA as a cruiser, some had more because they could use their main guns as well. But WG decided NOPE. As a consequence, DDs are properly shafted when they get CVs. ONE is bad enough for them. It is not the CV that is doing most damage - it is the SPOTTING by the CV. Granted though, some DDs are "asking for it".

Yeah they hate them, but at T4 most why they hate them is because there are two or three in a game. Also, they have buffed the US and IJN giving them two torps (and Hermes stil has only 1). Really two torps was at T6 so it makes the T4 Japanese and US a bit too powerful. Still, the way WG balances them is by damage, so really you cannot carry a whole team unless you are very very good.

GOOD mods will not put a strain on the system. Crappy ones will, though.

How about Smolensk... you can even forget about positioning. Oh right they don'rt "sell" it any more. Dammit.

Yeah seems more like that to me. Hope he doesn't get "real life smoke sound and smell effects". I ran the game on a 1G GFX card, no problems except if you set it above medium you got lots of stripes, stutter and weird stuff. And yes if many explosions/fires happened at the same time sometimes you got a yellow blot.

Seems like he's running them, I do not, nevertheless.... why should mods cause this? Unless they put more strain on the system, that is.
