She's been in for a fair bit now, since the 12th March this year iirc. Not played as her, but compared to a lot of the other cruisers she is bloody powerful. 15 guns? Yes please. By comparison, Britain got a Leander class in the same patch. It's only now that they can match Brooklyn, they received Southampton in the latest patch.

 

Anyway, on topic, have a Shigure in the rain:

Her name means drizzle, so appropriate I would say.

Wait so i don't have to suffer a 16% winrate in my leander anymore?

 

Noice. God the secondaries on that game will be glorious.

 

Do you suffer from your smoll device, getting too hot and bothered by nasty azur lane UI at all? (well the design is great but is laggy and makes my poor ipad sweat).

Heh, can't wait. To be fair, the USSR gunboats are very strong indeed, as most are armoured. As for cruiser and destroyers though, they don't seem to be too bad. Other than Kirov has a much higher rate of fire than history (because balans). But Krasny Kavkaz is poor, they suffer from having very good long range guns in a close range brawling meta, where rate of fire and the number of guns trumps a smaller number of hard hitters.

 

EDIT: By the way, War Thunder currently has the US, USSR, German, British and Japanese trees all represented for boats/ships. Japan is the newest, but of course will be a cult favourite with ships like Akizuki, Yuugumo, Mutsuki etc. NO POI BOAT YET THOUGH!!!

i just remember seeing usa and german ships and assumed they were the first.

 

Are bb's a thing yet?

Soon^TM. Maybe once they get some more heavy cruisers, they may naturally migrate up to battlecruisers and battleships. We shall see, but for now the biggest guns you can get are 8-inchers on Furutaka.

As you can see, nope. And I don't see them working, as most fights happen at 8km or less, where even CL AP penetration is enough to brutalize other cruisers, thus Brooklyn remain top balans unless something else will bring even more dakka. Which from historical ships leaves Mogami class in CL config and maybe Clevelands, if they get some accuracy gimmick from radar guidance.

Apparently HMS Tiger, bote carrying WoWs Minotaur armament of rapid firing 152mm and 76mm is in game. And volume of fire these 76mm spits out is disturbing.

Because even quick reloading 4 guns per broadside lose to 15guns, even if they don't reload as fast.

All the tracers are from 2 (two) 76mm secondaries/AA, molesting some DD from afar

[Centurion_1711]

But if you are going to install War Thunder CptBarney, I'd be careful playing boats right now. Mainly as there is a premium Japanese hydrofoil called PG 02, and it has made a complete SNAFU of BR 2.3-4.3. It is a fast boat, agile, and has a Vulcan 20mm gatling gun to absolutely crap on the opposition. Brooklyn may be top dog overall, but PG 02 rules the low tiers. Balans...

Noice, reminds me of the T-34 premium that went on sale. Got 21 kills in the first game lol.

 

Don't think i will ever repeat that again. This was before the T-34 got uptiered or changed or whatever. I stopped playing with tanks because i can't be arsed grind through 20k panthers and 6 billion T-34 varients.

 

Planes i prefered bombers but the game modes barely offered any rewards so yeah, gg gaijin.

Basically. But then, this comes from the same game where playing an AA vehicle can be more effective than an actual tank, or where 20mm Hispanos do less damage than some .50cals. Still, I enjoy it, just take everything with a pinch heap of salt, and you are fine.

 

Anyway, have some shipgirls, especially as the Haifuri film is on the horizon.

Only at lower tiers, or from behind otherwise i remember getting shat on in my wieblewindow, when up tiered against some pretty beefy tanks (panthers and jumbos etc).

 

Nice too see high school fleet movie will still be a thing. still waiting for azur lane animu so i can see muh waifu.

[Historynerd]

...I have to make a confession here.

Once upon a time (aka months ago) I played AL too. Then I stopped.

... But I would return in a heartbeat if Sardinia came.

Let's just say the naval part of Warthunder is an insult to the video game industry as a whole and as simulation/historical games in particular.

 

It's just not even good enough to be called an alpha AND THEY SELL 60€ PACKS. Map design is sh*t. Balance was thrown out of the windows right from the beginning, gameplay is non-existant.

Seriously, there's more gameplay in Kancolle than in Naval WT. In Kancolle at least the main part of the game is about managing your ressources and choosing the right equipment for the right job between dozen of combinations (especially in event with specific mechanics ofc). Warthunder ask you to hit the full speed button and keep your finger on LMB until your opponent is dead, that's it.

 

Tracking is super bad, ranging shot is a terrible mechanic, ships looks like they glide, special effects and luminosity are both very bad, plane ruins smaller boats way harder than any CV in WoWS can bully a DD... 

And the final touch : since they don't even know where they are going, they just keep introducing bigger boats to live on the short term hype and hoping that will miraculously fix issues.

 

Do yourself and Gaijin a service : don't play this mode at all. Stick to wows which at least assume they are an arcade game. But make gaijin understand they're shooting themselves in the foot.

I'm with you completely. War Thunder had (well, still has) the potential to be pretty amazing. Yet at every step, Gaijin attempt to bugger the whole thing up. It is sad to watch. And yeah, naval forces ranges from "meh" to horrible. I can say I did find tearing about in a MGB with a Bofors gun entertaining, but only as a break between playing planes or tanks. For ships, WoWs is probably as good as it gets for now.

 

Spoiler

It is a pretty game, and planes are still the best mode. Just ships, ergh...

Oh yeah, and don't be daft like me and play British stuff, Gaijin absolutely hates Britain's vehicles, they get shafted at every opportunity. Because balans.
