Yeah, I find this the hardest part playing a cruiser: when to go for it and when not...

I was afraid that if I went for the Russian BB, the Republic would have my broadside. So I thought to engage the Republic to distract it, so my 2 friendly BB's could kill the Russian BB in B and cap it. Sadly, that did not happen and I got a salvo in my broadside from that Russian BB Which kinda ended my game.

Buy a low tier USA BB, do not upgrade the engine. Play it. Play it again and again. Then please tell me how you like that experience...

I'm looking for a clan (not that unexpected in this corner of the forum). The list what I'm looking for: some nice, friendly people I have never done operations, but I would like to try them. But I would like some advice Clan that is not too focused on winrates (I'm sitting on 51% at the moment, ) What do I offer: Nice friendly person, I can be serious and I can make jokes English speaking (and dutch) Age (I'm over 30 years old...), not sure if this is a pro or a con though I play a few games in the evenings on week days, more in the weekend. Unless RL says otherwise... Quit a lot of experience in T5 ships... But slowly getting more T6 ships. A decent understanding of the game. Broadside is bad, catching torps does not give bonus points, etc. I'm not looking to join for clan wars (I do not have any T10 ship for starters ).

Co-op: games last between 5 - 8 minutes, almost garanteed a win and in my T8 DD I get 1 - 3 kills per match. Add a personal objective (although half of them are not doable in a fast co-op game)... Randoms: I know you can get a lot of points, but I find co-op to be much more consistent in points / hour. Edit: this is in my T8 premium Loyang, so I do not loose credits in co-op (thank you chinese new year box)

So... finish it? Get rank 1 in those DD's, make a screenshot of your ranking screen showing how many battles it took you. That seems to be the proof people want here and it should be doable according to you.

7 topics below this one: And I already posted it there, but I will link it again: https://forum.worldofwarships.com/topic/117549-mouses-new-summary-of-premium-ships/ Check this out, it has a review of all premium ships.

Easy to explain: co-op gives pretty fast and steady points for the Victory event. If nobody fails, a co-op game finishes in 5 minutes, give me in a T8 ship 32 points for a victory + 8 for every kill I made. And another 32 if I get (and complete) a personal mission. Ignore them. As you have noticed, you (with co-op experience) will get more kills/points then them usualy. Also, teamkilling on purpose: they might sent in the replay and this could get you temporary banned. That is really not worth it (in my opinion at least).

That sounds like clan battles?

This raises the question: how many of the CV players out there are fitting this description?

I find that turning into rocket planes causes CV's to fail their attack run, since they can't start the run in time. Ofcourse, if they expect me to turn in, they will start the attack run before they re-spot me and they will hit me, but that would require a good CV player. A lot of CV players get bored after failing 2 or 3 attack runs and go farm damage somewhere else. But I admit: I never faced El2aZeR, so that might be a total different experience.

I watched the first 4 minutes of that video and to be honest: I'm shocked Do these DD's even know that you can turn of your AA? They really made it easy for the planes to hit them again and again and again, by leaving their AA on. Just turn on your AA when you are spotted, turn it off when the planes go out of spotting range and turn into the planes. Will this save you? Maybe, maybe not. Will it make the CV's attack runs a lot harder: yes. Disclaimer: I do not play CV's, I play DD's

Anybody?

If it is a destroyer, got torps and a TRB... well, then it has to be a torp boat, right?

The rentals might be special, but in the bottom ranks some players are also special (this is my first ranked, so I started at rank 18) I sail my Shima around an island and I spot a Harugumo 5 km away... with his guns pointed at me. I think I'm dead, so I fire what I can while still trying to attempt an escape. He did... nothing? I get out of line of sight and go dark again, then I spot some torps. In fact: 2 sets of torps. So he didn't do nothing, he did something: he spotted me, switched to torps, fired his torps, hit TRB, waited 6 seconds and fired his torps again. All miss. With people like that hanging around, winning the game is just a guess how many special people there are on each side.

If you are not new, you might want to check out https://forum.worldofwarships.com/topic/117549-mouses-new-summary-of-premium-ships/ It is a nice list of reviews of premium ships and their pro's and con's.

This has probably been asked and answered before, but since I currently lack the time to read 175 pages: Would letting CV's only spot on the mini map solve a lot of the spotting issues? - Nothing would change for the CV gameplay, they can spot their own targets just like now and attack them. - CV's would still provide tactical information about the enemy fleet: where is the big blob going, etc - Cruisers will regain some tactical gameplay, since you no longer get blown up everytime you try to go dark but a CV is busy torping a BB nearby and accidently spots you - You no longer need to delay the plane launch at the start of the game - Best of all: the mechanic is allready in the game: the first 6 seconds of radar. I only see positive things for this change, but I might overlook something?

First thing that pops into my mind is this question: Can you hide planes in the clouds to avoid AA? If the answer is yes, I'm not sure if what you are suggesting is going to have the effect that you want.

Got my first 19 pt captain! (and yes, I did grind this in my Omaha... )

I'm wondering what skills I should get on my Shima? Required skills: - PM - LS - CE Not sure what else to take... - RPF seems nice, never used it before though (Shima is my first T10 ship) - on row 3: SE, TAE and SI all seem nice - AR would be nice Taking all would require 22 points. The easiest option seems to drop a row 3 skill, but is that the right choice and which one should I drop?

Playing in a shima, sticking to a friendly buffalo when the game started, waiting for the red planes to show up. Planes show up in front of us, CV strikes the buffalo and looses his planes to the Buffalo + mine AA. I thank the buffalo for the AA cover. Buffalo calls me a "useless shima"... What did he expect? That I would rush a cap in a CV game?

Thanks for all the replies! As for torps: I'm currently using the 12 km torps for randoms, but I'm considering going to 20 km torps for ranked (7 red ships blob up: shotgun those 15 torps in there and see what you will hit)

TAE = faster torp reload TA = faster but shorter ranged torps With TAE I was planning to take the 12 km torps.

From https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/general-news/ranked-12/ I think this will be a nice improvement over the current epicenter mode. What do you think of this ring capture change?

How do rentals work? I buy a bunch of upgrades for them, then the rental expires and my upgrades....? 1: dissapear 2: get sold for credits 3: get demounted for doubloons 4: get dismounted for free
