That as well, DCP crews here feel like the most incompetent crews in the world, you have to tell them to fix issues or they let your boat flood to death(seriously how hard is it to shut the damm bulkhead doors) What I meant is the the rather binary effect that it gives some ships, those ships that live and breath on that skill needs to be reworked as well. That said a CL in real life is not expected to try and shoot a BB under any circumstance, instead use speed to run, and the main focus on shooting DDs and other cls, escorting and shore bombardment. The only US cruiser that has remotely a chance is the Des Moines, since she can effectively machine gun 203mm super heavy ap into their face, and she never runs alone. MM also needs to be more biased towards putting more crusiers and dds in a match compared to BBs as well.

Odd, I still see BBs shooting AP in my experience, with exception of the RNs of course. That said, I have aready encounted serveral cleavlands and Dallas who rely on the spam HE behind island tactic, when there is only one of them, rushing them or just closing the distance to the island in quetion is an option, or if you are at the edge of their range, attempt to gain more range and then use spotter to shoot. More then one? Well that area is basically a no go zone, have to go find somewhere else. I belive one of the problems behind HE spam is the IFHE skill itself, as the difference between IFHE and no IFHE is pretty massive, my brother just got a 10 point captain for the cleavland CL(remember the cl split thing? In a nutshell, he may have screwed up with the captain placement which left cleavland without a commandar)with IFHE, so we decided to test to see why IFHE is very important on cls, even more so then DE(note that he does not have DE yet, just superintendent, so he actually loses fire chance) We did it by shooting the bow of the target, a stationary bot Amagi(so 32mm bow), and the results showed a lot of difference. With IFHE, he tore through the HP of the Amagi like crazy until the bow becomes saturated, without IFHE however, he did literally nothing as his shells shattered every time they hit amagi’s bow, no matter the angle, with the occasional random fires. so I would say one of the of the problems is the IFHE skill itself, which pretty much encourages HE spamming gameplay, on the other hand, AP shells having no captain skills to “buff” it. The root of the problem I think, is how HE shells work here.

In soviet Russia, we do not need capitalist upgrades.

Nerf bb HE pen power I suppose. That said, CAs can still use belt armor, so I say angling is still useful(CAs has 100-200mm belts, with 32-50mm upper belt and deck, so it’s only a problem if it goes into the bow, then again shooting ap into the bow often gets better results, and firing a massive explosive filled shell at dds is going to vaporise them regardless.) also CAs and DDs can get improved normalise angles on HE shells if they still need more help. in return I say get some captain skills to improve AP shells, such as areodymanic shells, so that AP shells can maintain its speed and penetration better over longer ranges.

I also believe that he does not care about angles, so if a 32mm armor panel is angled at 59 degrees, it should come off as 64mm according to WG’s algorithm. AP shells treat it that way if they pen, but HE shells still treat it as 32mm, which I think is part of the problem.

Shot nothing but AP at boats all day.......while in a dd and not realising it until I remembered HE shells don’t bounce. still got 10k out of it before I realised cause lol Stalinium rounds.

Reported for not enough memes, I’m using the ERUOBEAT torp warning sound myself.

Then where the hell is yamato’s Wave motion cannon?

Can verify that Kirov has guns that fire Stalinium and vodka bottles, but the darn Hull is made from pasta, not glorious Stalinium(Hull is designed by Italians, and they did not even have a single clue about armor). Also I have PM instead of piroty target, cause the darn engine and rudder keeps going, which is the last thing I need. One thing I have learnt is that not to be seen first, let others get seen first. If you have to be seen first, make sure only one guy can actually shoot you by using islands/ use max range of guns. For pespi, all I know that is that my brother often survives hilariously far too long when 5 or so enemy are shooting at him, as in he does not get vaporised instantly, but survives long enough to at least blow out one of the crusiers targeting him with 10 AP shells to the face, sometimes a DD thrown in there if available, Then he either somehow gets away or dies from a what appears to be a solid wall of torps. in the meantime me in my battleship is citadeling ships left and right as they tunnel vision on him, and they ignoring me even when they got hit by a citidel/ half their hp gone. for all I can tell, pespi at least has enough armor coverage and thickness to autobounce/shatter shells, Kirov doesn’t.

I have ready read that Yamato has 180000 repair costs, or in other terms: “a small loan of two hundred thousand dollars” i specifically joined a clan to help migitate some of the costs lol that said, no pain, no gain.

Well can’t hit a darn thing above 15km,but still does it anyway, so maybe that. Also it’s in the nagato, which has higher repair costs.

I Paid 20k for the ammo before, and service is 30k to give a refence(lost credits of course) since it appears ammo is also a variable costs with a soft cap, before this patch, you need to make every shot count, and also sometimes hold fire after a certain point cause you need to pay for ammo. now I just fire at all targets of opportunity, so this is a goood change.

Hmm, that must be it. the bots who I think are camping have been hit early on in the game. oh and managed to find conclusive answer for the Co-op economy: yes you no longer need to pay for the ammo that is used to shoot peeps.

I specifically pressed the Co-op button, it was first a blue circle with a anchor icon on top. Bots certainly do try to camp there. although Players do the same thing, so at least it’s training me to deal with campers on both sides now, so it is somewhat representative of actual pvp now

I mean the gamescon bots. Their behaviour is certainly....changed.

I was playing BB, and yelling banzai into a massive angry hunk of metal that has turrets which can weigh as much as a DD is probably not the best idea, so I assume now they recognise enemy types and act accordingly. although still seems they can only recongnise ONE enemy type at a time, so making sure that the correct Boat(same “size” class or lower)gets spotted first will increase their chance to go banzai charge.

Just need to rant tbh :P just went to see a Overwatch vid where someone was listing the top 10 things on what can the enemy say to piss you off when you lose, and both GG(the regular one, not the gg ez, which never even showed up) and GLHF were on there, with gg in the top 5 just because it is used at a end of a steamroll to rub more salt(while on how I used it is more of a polite parting, whatever the quality of the game is.) And that Chanel has 2mil subs.

We need WW3 to perform “natural selection” on the human race again to remove all potatos again (although I’m probably gonna be “removed” as well, since I am a potato as well ) Well what happened is that loaded into a battle with nagato, and said GLHF in all chat, as per usual. Then one of the BBs became angry at me and started insulting me that I am giving the enemy all of our “good rng”(as far as I can tell from his incorherent rage) Some time into the battle afterwards, he dies to torps(straight lining, I presume) and then somehow become convinced that I have given his position away to the enemy team since he thinks that they can see you by using the radio signal tracker(you know, how you can track a phone signal’s position when you place a call) and the torps that are shot at him were supposed to be for me, when the irony is that he somewhere behind me, and the torps being asasiho torps and I have just evaded them with nagato’s deceptive agility+WASD, and therefore spotted it as well. Our cv(who has been staying reasonably quiet, with the occasional commands ) then got sniped by theirs and also became convinced that I indeed have given all of our good rng at the start of the game. All of this in a t7-8 battle nothing less, started all because I said GLHF(means Good Luck Have Fun, a gaming based greeting that was considered friendly from the games I came from) while the rudest I have experienced before advancing to t7 is “noob team” in various forms. So is even a “hi” somehow going to be considered rude next generation? all I want is to get the Yamato, have fun with her,(and maybe make all those Izumo players very sad) then probably move on to something else. Seems like it is harder then I originally thought possible with far more people having intellectual based problems then I originally thought at higher tiers compared to mid tiers, a “feature” that appears to be unique to this game.

From what I can tell from my experience, bots are now more campy and are more likely to hide in smoke rathar then going BANZAI. The good news it means more opportunities to use spotter to practice shooting into smoke+ radar and hydro being more useful, since from what I can tell, bots do not move at all when in camping mode, even when you light them up with radar. Did not check the Co-op economy however. also terminator-like AI rebellion will happen soon, it’s just the matter of time.

Not helping with my name here(I play mostly bbs, so I guess I’m instantly considered as a potato) after all bbs are pretty much made redundant due to their cost, upkeep and in general being unable to evade whatever is thrown at them so repair costs is up(real life, not in game just to be on the safe side) with only redeeming factors that you need to throw a lot of stuff at it to sink it compared to other ships and big guns. On the other hand, I have noticed the “camping” bbs idealogy stems from real life bb idealogy as well, they were designed to take a lot of punishment in the front lines, but in reality they became glorified hotels(Yamato) or glorified AA escorts(Iowa’s) due to generals, just like our bb drivers, being afraid of their boats having their paint scratched.

I’m in I suppose. Playing higher tiers these days is starting to get costly, so looking for every advantage I can get. IGN is same as forum name.

I do actually find that to be a small problem. When you get set on fire, your ship is on fire. For flooding, other then a torp hit and a notification+icon that you are flooding, not much visuals, not even a flooding icon on your hp bar.( war thunder have ships actually listing as they flood) plus damage control crews are incompetent(how hard it is to actually shut the damm bulkhead doors?)

Thinking that following my team is a good idea in my nagato, they then all abandoned me when a Bismarck and a German dd showed up, the cruiser, the battleship and the dd simply turned away even though we have a advantage in numbers leaving me and a undertiered pesicola to deal with them.

K ditched secondary battery mod, now dispersion feels glorious, and with my playstyle changes to keep enemies at least 10km Away from me, RNGods finally bestowed the honor of punishing scrubs to me in my last battle. Enemy broadsiding Kongo got vaporised, 3x citadel to the face. Helena reversed out of cover thinking she is super snek? Also vaporised. Bayern thinking German steel is the best? Full hp to half hp in a instant, plus one citadel. Our destroyer then spots 2 other camping bbs showing full broadside to me. Removed 1/2 of one of the bbs hp with 1 citadel, missed the other guy however, but made him decide that Brown pants are a better option and he ran away. Did not do much afterwards apart from throwing steel at a destroyer, since everyone else in red team decided they rather camp at spawn then push.
