    Game is becoming a joke

    There is a retreat(Get back!) but no “attack”, so I agree on that part. Also a way to tell someone to radar or hydro would be good too.

    Best way to play the Kremlin

    Point bow at ships and ignore butt turret existence. Aim for cruisers that are slightly angled from broadside or go after side on BBs, obviously going for waterline. Fire each turret individually and correct aim, then fire second turret. Firing both only if you are 100% confident in landing/target is only vurnable for a short while/if you can feel Stalin is with you. Third turret can only be used if there is a massive opening, or no one is shooting u, or drive by broadsides(still not recommended in RU BBs cause raised cit). If DD shows up in your 12km kill zone drop everything and proceed to put all effort in sending DD to gulag.(fire AP at DD unless you are certain that DD is gonna stay spotted and in range for 40s+)

    Tirpitz players and obsession with torps

    There is the reason why Tirpitz is alternate name is “derptiz”, cause it’s one of the first high tier premium boats to show up in the game, available to all with a credit card
  4. I have been getting rental premium boats on a random basis, first it was a graf spree, then a molotov, and then a scharnhost. has anyone else been getting the same thing? do also note that I also get a coupon for 50% off the said boat in premium shop. that said, I agree with this kind of direction of giving players some rentals to try out before they pay for them, like in WOT (the only aspect that I liked) with a heavily discounted final price for it.

    has anyone been getting rentals premium boats lately?

    Dunkek aquired after a Yamato game ^^ anyway it does prove the point that the last played class does influence the class of preieum rental

    MUSASHI, bring her back

    I’d say nerf Missouri credit earnings and sell her in shop and armoury. She’s basically a Iowa with Radar that is only useful vs scrubs.
  7. I went boom in my Yamato yesterday. ate 2 gearing torps, both in the bow at the start of the game. First torp put me below deto hp threshold, 2nd set off my ammo. loled and said that I have been penetrated by too much freedom. that being said, would agree to a complete deto removal or make it more predictable to trigger in certain situations. however I’m fine with keeping it in with one modification: if you get fun and engaging by RNG, service costs are immediately voided.

    Lock On bug - 2.0

    It’s technically not a “lock on bug” as per say, but more of a aim assist bug. Its confirmed that there is some form of aim assist that activates when you lock onto a target, it takes into consideration of the target’s speed and direction, and adjusts dispersion so shells are more likely to land in the predicted area. The main issue it’s that it’s powered by vodka, so it won’t take into consideration wild manvuaring, speed changes of any sort(hence shells derping more frequently on stationary or beach/about to beach targets)

    Splash damage - How it works?

    It is technically possible to “fun and engaging” someone with HE shells without hitting them at all(only requirement is that their HP is <75%, if I remember correctly), and HE shells explode upon contact with anything, islands, boats, water.

    has anyone been getting rentals premium boats lately?

    Just aquired a Massachusetts after derping in Yamato. So the fact that it gives you a rental ship according to the said class is true. I suppose if I want to get a rental cv then I need to play cv. That being said, it seems to only happen if u play pvp/pve, ops does not count.

    Smolensk.

    He was behind a island, unspotted. He then got spotted briefly when someone’s plane passes close enough to him so he got lit, and I snapped a shot at him. It removed most of his HP, but did not outright kill him, the kill was secured by someone else some time later. like I said, fires is really the only issue, vs a BB, but can be managed. The buffalo who is with me got melted quickly however(seems that one has IFHE)
  12. howardxu_23

    Is BB AP on DDs really "fixed"?

    For the muti-pen thing, I think how it needs to happen is when the shell explodes at the precise boundary on the armor layers, it also appears to happen more frequently if the ship is pulling hard turns and u strike it during it.

    Developer Bulletin 0.8.8

    If you put it that way, it means that a full Georgia broadside sounds the same or very close to a bow on Yamato firing, in theory.

    Developer Bulletin 0.8.8

    Mostly okay at a glance but one thing caught my eye: Are you telling me that the yamato’s Gun sounds will no longer be unique to her? Since 457mm is close to 460mm i hope not
  15. howardxu_23

    Is BB AP on DDs really "fixed"?

    Yes. there are deto flags and the module.

    Smolensk.

    Played against one of those today in my BB, apart from the fires, not really an issue. I basically had most of its hp removed. Then again, I was in a Yamato that time, which will punch clean though it’s 30mm deck. However it appears to have IFHE, since my div mate who is in a buffalo at that time was simply melted by it. So I suppose the balance in crusier vs cruiser and crusier vs DD fights needs to be looked at. i suggest make it AP only like the mino, in my opinion. It aready have workable AP from what I have heard, additional tweaks so it has better pen angles it’s all it needs to make it work.

    This. They did not need to fix BB AP pens on DDs, that is the main issue.

    Question to those who have a Colbert

    If I’m correct, it has a 30mm upper belt and deck, which can stop up to 429mm shells thrown at it. In other words it is capable of getting bounces from 420 GK and Montana if Stalin is with the captain. Yamato, kerml and reppu will overmatch it, but since the smolek is small, it is likely that it simply flies out of the other side before it detonates

    Nerf RU BBs

    I’d say also nerf all >60mm RU t8-10 decks to 50mm, to increase vulnerability to KM CAs, supercuisers and HIVs. Always thought that 60mm decks are overkill.
  20. Massive AA fire just does not sound right to me, however AA barrage sounds better, plus there is also a actual AA fire pattern in real life with that Name
  21. Nagato and Colorado now needs 27mm all round plates or 30mm central plating, or less”hp” in its parts so that they saturate faster and bleed less hp overall. Yamato is still capable of outright edited* RN and french BBs, which even kerml cannot do. Would agree that the pen of certain ships is negating her punishing broadside armored targets ability, along with 30mm overmatch before all the 457mm armed BB came(when it’s just her, monty, and GK, she is the only ship to hold that advantage.) Edit: Please be careful about the language.

    Rename “massive AA fire” to “AA barrage”

    Normally the change is as simple as changing text in a string. However this is WG with STONK VODKA PROGRAMMING, so may not be as simple.
  23. howardxu_23

    Rename “massive AA fire” to “AA barrage”

    It aready behaves very differently from when it first appeared, so calling it MAA could be very confusing for certain players, since they may think it refers to the Manual AA of the old, and end up with sub-optimal builds. BAA/AAB would differentiate the old system and the new, also helps with searching since you do not need to filter out old system of MAA, that’s what I think.

    Weekenders

    That’s the lock on bug I think, can be solved by pressing “x” twice. In my case is the built in aim assist being weird.

    Weekenders

    I had a friggin red Sovetsky Soyuz stationary side on to my Yamato around 16km and RNG keeps putting my shells in the water around him. He then turned his guns at me after my 5th salvo and had me blapped from 16km(I was side on to him admittedly, but only because I believed I can have sent him to Davy Jones locker within the first 2 salvos.) the most annoying thing? I was moving when he blapped me, while I can’t even hit a stationary boat that’s even bigger then Yamato using guns that is arguably the best in accuracy for a BB, at 16km at least. My div mate who witnessed this joked that Russian bias shield protected Sovetsky Soyuz from imperial weeb trash. To me, sitting still side on actually prolongs your life instead
