We have also changed the mechanics of the torpedo damage dealt to a completely destroyed part of a ship. Now, a torpedo hitting a ship in any such part will cause guaranteed damage of 10% of the maximum damage it could potentially cause. This will prevent situations in which a destroyer could suffer multiple torpedo hits, but stay afloat simply because the affected part of her hull had no HP left to lose. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If someone can tell me how others manage that, I'll be happy to receive the info.

[NECRO] Deckeru_Maiku Beta Tester 6,636 posts 24,864 battles Report post #9403 Posted November 28, 2018 The weekend, Cyber Monday and whatever-you-call-it Tuesday and Wednesday hit me with a stick with rusty nails in it... Again avery tough lesson learned - I'm nowhere near a Unicorn and not able to carry a full sack of potatoes on my shoulders... I did 44 battles in this time. And managed 16 wins... that's a 36.4% winrate *facepalm* And the worst thing is, in most of these battles I played like an utter potato, ignoring all hints that should have made me play a bit more passive, expecting to have no support etc. etc. instead of charging ahead and thinking it would turn out well... just to get sunk within the first five minutes of the battle... But then there were also a few of these: Shiratsuyu on Neighbours Domination... I started on the south-west side and as there were three DDs per team, I set course to the most southern cap (A?), which was closest to me... immediately someone wrote in chat "Ignore A, all go BC" and when I continued to A started pinging me on the minimap. Seems it didn't help that I managed to spot an enemy DD in B - which was ignored - and that there was only one (!) enemy ship - a DD - going to the same cap as I did... Our CV - great player.. - not only kept that DD spotted, but also dropped some bombs/torps on it, so I could finish it off. And when the edge-sneaking enemy CV's planes tried to wreak havoc on me our CVs fighters were there for the rescue... Seeing where the few surviving enemy planes went, I decided to go for the enemy CV as it had to be close and as he seemed skilled enough to make my further game miserable by keeping me spotted or worse.. and shortly after I spotted the CV and started sending shells at it. Little resistance, as all his teammates were busy sinking ships at B/C cap... He again tried to get me with some planes, but one fighter squadron of our CV was enough to keep them away from me, while I burned that CV down... Right then someone wrote in chat "That CV kill wasn't worth it"... well, considering the other 10 ships of my "team" had managed about nothing, B and C cap were red, with only four allied ships left (including me and the CV) and the enemy heading to cap A I thought different... In the end the CV and I managed to hold the #1 and #2 spot on the loser's side, with the CV having done four kills and me two... while the rest of the team had managed 1 total... And considering that this battle at least nearly took the full 20 minutes, this was one of the better games during the above mentioned period... *sigh* And yeah, I had some better games and some wins, too. Even one in the Shiratsuyu with 100k+ damage and an unicornish rating, due to doing lots of damage and some capping... but they all vanish from the memory due to all those ugly losses... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spoiler Enemies were camping in their base, and ours did ofc rush in like there is a pot of gold (or more like Fort Knox itself). Had to hug the island pretty bad at the end, luckily they were so horny for me (was at 8k health), that Primeship was basicly just farming them And we got pretty lucky with permafires, because enemy BBs did DCP one fire all the time 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[A77] WashedandDeceased Players 891 posts 20,781 battles Report post #9413 Posted November 29, 2018 OK, I'm starting to enjoy Jean Bart. A bit sad that I spent 750k free xp on the Musashi when I just pick this one up. Spoiler Anyway, something that I'm actually kinda proud of. A long time ago I realized how hilariously bad I am at this game, so I decided to change that. After two years and 10k games (half of them solo) with practice, guides, videos and salt I finally reached my win rate target. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[M-P-M] Migantium_Mashum Players 3,146 posts 19,218 battles Report post #9417 Posted November 30, 2018 I do so love my Shimakaze... My job was C (Coming from North to South)....1st Kill was the Worcester with torpedoes at 6km and then after taking time to cap, have a coffee, eat my Cornflakes, I went all out for the Alsace... the other enemy ships ran... enemy GK, Alsace, Musashi & Roon just didn't seem to want to tangle with me.. Why? Don't run!!! I am but a simple DD... sigh. Had some great support from the Kitakaze and Des Moines who used radar so effectively it kept enemy DD's restricted to being mere spectators.. at least until they died.

[-IAN-] IanH755 Players 2,100 posts 7,141 battles Report post #9418 Posted November 30, 2018 [Co-Op] - Had a really fun game in my Montana where I started at B and swept up the Asashio to start with, then the following who were all heading to C to chase our Cossack - the Moskva, then the Charles Martel and the Montana before swinging back around to kill the CV. A special shout-out to @xXWarAngelXx who did a fantastic job supporting me and using the guns on the Asashio very well. and then this pile of dog for a game. It's games like this that make me put the game away for weeks at a time I get so disgusted! A 5 minute game and I fired 20 shells total (1 three turret salvo and 1 both front turrets salvo), because WG couldn't program bot logic if their life depended on it. On the map Shatter the bots in the North on my side of the map all ploughed into the islands getting stuck, so our 3x DD force (inc a T6 Fail Div Fubuki) had easy pickings sinking all 4, just leaving the "slower" BB's to mop up anything left, which wasn't much but I did get a single long range kill secure to at least shoot something this match even if my secondaries did hit a beached DD.

Well, if You think WGs bots are badly programmed then You should be happy not to play Random battles, as many players make those bots look like Unicorns... *löl* Speaking of bots: after doing a couple not impressive Random battles today and gaining a 50% winrate I went full CoOp for some of the RN DD missions... Gathering 5mil "potential damage" and some other stuff is a wee bit easier when you take a Bismarck or Musashi and just pick them bots apart... The saddest thing about these CoOp battles is to see people still getting ra*ed by the bots... I'd still say there should be a mechanic in the game that keeps people from playing a ship in Random if they don't manage at least a 50% winrate in it in CoOp battles... yeah, the amount of players available for random battles might take a severe hit, but probably the quality of gameplay would be a wee bit better... *g* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[GEUS] TeaAndTorps Players 820 posts 2,680 battles Report post #9422 Posted November 30, 2018 This was a really fun game. I've barely played over the last couple of months, and this reminded me why I enjoy the game – and especially DDs – so much. Had some brilliant teamwork as well – as I was trying to cap, 3 (I think) of my friendly BBs pretty much dropped all they were doing to nuke the Varyag trying to rush me. Could have been a very different outcome if they hadn't. It was a friendly bunch of players, so if any of them happen to read this: thanks everyone (Yes, I'll accept that that was something of a... ahem... kill secure on the Phoenix, and yes the Courbet detonated) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
