Battleships,steaming pile of failure?

[LazyVegetable]

So what exactly is WRONG with battleships in this game?

Also,i am pretty pissed off right now due to how much BS i just experienced.

I have a myogi atm,and i have to say,this thing makes me want to sell it,delete the game and punch the guy who designed battleships............

 

Here's a summary of my experience with this thing,it is fully upgraded:

4/6 AP shots on an enemy Kongo,400 damage.

2/6 HE shots on a DD that was about 5km away,1000 damage.

3/6 AP shots on enemy Myogi,200 damage.

1/6 AP shots on enemy cruiser,didn't even damage but still got a hit,what?

5/6 HE shots on a cruiser,3000 damage

 

Just uh.....what the hell? It seems like cruisers are the way to go if you want to play this game,battleships are just.....a steaming pile of fail packed in the form of a ship

 

How do you even play these things?!

[Ebusus]

Some battleships are just ugly steps along the way for nicer battlewagons to sail.

 

I must say that I enjoyed my brief visit and service with the Myogi. Got the experience, moved on and sold the thing.

[SpectreUK]

Not having a hissy fit is a start .... where you hit a ship makes a big difference on the amount of damage that is caused .... the jap cruisers play a completely different way to the us cruisers and battle ships 

 

And there is nothing wrong with this game ... having been an alpha tester and now cbt the game is evolving nicely ... but 1 thing you do have to remember ... Its a closed beta TEST ... yes Test this is where we find things wrong and report them 

[PhroX]

I didn't like the first two Japanese BBs at all, but things get a lot better with the Kongo. Although I must admit my judgement may be somewhat biased by the fact that my very first salvo in her one-shotted a Myogi....

Eeeeeeh yeah i know,but stuff like this get's kinda irritating when it goes on and on and on and on and on.....

Definitely feels like myogi is one of the ugly ducks in the battleship tree.

[Historynerd]

The Myogi is rather underwhelming (sure, she's fast, but she has moderate protection and rather low firepower); the next ships are much more balanced and performant.

When I read this I thought the US BB line had just been released

[Nakaveli]

you doing nothing wrong bro.

Just game is mostly based on RNG.

[valkarianism]

Yeah. i had a bad time on the myogi too.. It seems that the RNGesus just does not smile upon it at all.

[Seinta]

DON'T use the force Luke, instead learn to freaking aim.

[Historynerd]

While it's true than RNG has a part, perhaps a part is also about the player's skill about landing shots properly.

 

I just had a match with my Nagato (the so much hated Nagato), in which I did some 140+ damage. Of course, I had to waste a lot of shells to get this, but in the end I did the damage.

The amount of RNG is so much BS it should flat out be removed and replaced with a better one lol

Unlocked the kongo,first game,i hit an enemy kongo citadel,6k damage.

He hits me in the back of the ship with 2 shots,14k damage because....................................................why use logic?

The amount of BS and RNG in this game is making me wonder if it's worth to actually play or just sink myself right at the start of the match.

Did it appear as a citadel hit (with the appropriate icon)?

oh i love me citadel shots. but in a BB it can be too random. but maybe people like to gamble on it, which is why they play BB XD

 

joking joking. in the end it all boils down to your positioning and perhaps a good amount of luck to land where you want it to go.

Yep it did

Still did next to no damage....like....jeez...how bad can this RNG be?!

[NecroFlex]

BBs are special, u can have a bad game where u mostly overpen and sometimes u have a game where u hit citadels and deal massive damage

this was my last game in my Fuso and i must say, the RNG was all over the place

 

The damage was all over the place, was against an enemy Fuso, i shot him, full salvo, most of the shots hit, 2k damage

next salvo hit his citadel and penned him nicely, dealing a total of 18k damage, was just insane, same goes for him, 1 salvo did nothing, other salvo citadeled me, the RNG in this game is...special...nothing else to say

[Historynerd]

Well, I'm stumped... don't know what could have happened... maybe a bug?

[Et_Lanatus_baro]

no not a bug i've hit citedel hits and its only been 5k damage they vary dependant on ship used and ship hit.

[Zenith]

Stick with it, the Kongo is worth the grind.

Yeah i know,i'm having quite a lot of fun with this ship

But sometimes the RNG is just.....ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Captain_Edwards]

The Kongo is a great ship and well worth the effort of the "grind". Its a firm favourite of mines, and one of my "go to" ships. I prefer it to the Fuso truth be told.

Is there something that the kongo does better than the fuso? Firepower maybe?

[Captain_Edwards]

Speed. Kongo is five knots faster than a Fuso, which might not seem like much. But for me the ability to outrun a Fuso if need be or to close the range down on one is a god send at times. It also helps with shell evasion and torp avoidance, so that extra 5 knots can be a real game winner more than the extra guns the Fuso has. Does not matter how many guns a ship has if you cannot hit the target, and the Kongo can be a tricky bugger to hit at max range.
