[M-P-M] Migantium_Mashum Players 3,146 posts 19,218 battles Report post #11677 Posted August 21, 2019 Mashum to the rescue... Two cap game.. unfortunately forgot to turn my Bandicam... Came down the 7-8 line heading towards enemy base. On the way I met up with 2 enemy Battleships... but they couldn't see me... as I wanted to give them my warmest greetings pressed number 3.... With a full salvo of torps and then a quick reload salvo, from my torpedo reload booster, I quickly sank the New Mexico and took a chunk of HP from the King George V who then sank to the guns of my Amagi bodyguard... Good old Amagi you'll see more of his exploits later in the story. Did some spotting and our Bismarck and Amagi covered me from the 2 Cruisers to my front driving them away from the enemy base... Got inside the enemy base and started capping but had to leave when one of the Cruisers decided to come find me... a silly move but he had to try Enemy CV is broadside to me at 11km, also beached, at the time of my leaving so I gave it a full salvo of torps + a second salvo from my TRB as I left the enemy base... only 2 torpedoes hit but I did take it down to 600hp and was able finish it off with guns. My last kill was Alabama as I re-entered the enemy base. Strangely, as I entered the enemy base, the Alabama just happened to turn 180 degrees and proceed to sail straight to me firing blind.... Another salvo of torpedoes + a second salvo from my TRB soon settled his hash for him.. Now, for the strange part, because my bandicam was not running I cannot accuse anyone but it seemed mighty strange that the A division on our team and the A division on the enemy team were of the same clan and it seemed uncanny that the enemy knew where our base defenders were located and Alabama had an idea of where to shoot at me in the enemy base.... Thankfully though the enemy A Division was the CV and Alabama, in my team it was the CV and Asashio who did very little other than die fast, so in sinking these ships quickly any possibility of irregular play was avoided and believe me it did seem irregular... After I had killed the Alabama, the allied Amagi ripped apart the T61 who made a valiant but futile attempt to dislodge me and I quietly watched the clock tick down... So Amagi was my new hero... at least for 2 minutes anyway. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[BBMM] BLUB__BLUB [BBMM] Players 8,818 posts 17,199 battles Report post #11680 Posted August 21, 2019 Arizona.... got it for free from a container, still good. Were running it to show my new clanmate a few BB tricks. He has only 700 games in randoms so far, I have almost 4000.... so... but he's quite OK already. After Hood my most played ship and here you see why. Even Russian Bias div... won't help. BLAPPED the Russian BB from 3.5km (I guess he thought I was gonna ram him) Almost got his div mate too. But didn't, so we lost. Arrghhh. Well even after 4k games I'm not THAT good. Spoiler 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[L4GG] Butterdoll Players 3,470 posts 11,414 battles Report post #11685 Posted August 22, 2019 WELL, I've been away for a couple of months and since sunday I didn't made one battle. Today I picked Helena, my brand new ship and went to Narai , little trouble has been a huge pain. After a slow start I just did one battle before bed. Stock ship, no skills allocated and with the plus of no collision warning sounds, and a wonky screenshot. and I managed to pulled this off (the wonky screenshot) Not bad, hey ? I think I still go it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
havaduck ∞ Players 2,989 posts 11,824 battles Report post #11686 Posted August 23, 2019 I went Narai today - trying to get a little grind on my T7 DDs. Ofc Maas is the most useless POS I have ever seen for a DD on T7 ..... and that limit to T7 is only because there are other german DDs on other tiers. Anyway, as the DD I ofc go more the torp/transport route than the usual tanking/pushing route I take with CLs and BBs. Ofc I then join them in the harbour to do some work on the bots. Guess what? I now see at least my influence in those Narai battles, as its hard to get even over 3 stars (yes, thats with transports dead) because the playerbase is so potato. Initially there were a lot of BBs in the queue, so if I didnt want to wait forever, I had to play DD or CL. Then I noticed, finally 4 cruisers in queue and quickly switched to Lyon. Game started really bad. No damage initially, but then I got some decent salvos in on angled shitships. However, I was not able to farm or ram the Colo (thats the one between score and ribbons) ..... -> Colo farm and/or better initial salvos = 400 k. I haz sad. I actually forgot to bring premium consumables ...... but who needs them anyway. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Missouri still gives full broadside sooner or later, but stays a tiny bit more angled for the most distance to the island - enough to push T9 amor to shatter or at least keep citadels out.

The Omaha (if it lives that long) also now goes a different route; and it if it notices you waiting for it in an aggressive position, it angles against you like a MFer.

[-IAN-] IanH755 Players 2,100 posts 7,141 battles Report post #11695 Posted August 23, 2019 [Scenario - Narai] I really like the mission, I have a bunch of really fun T7 boats and I'm bloody good vs bots so I always have a blast but there's only so much carrying 1 man can do (see Jingles latest video). I've reported this finding before but if you have 2 or less 50%+ WR players in your team then you might as well quit the game immediately, there is no way on earth you will win. If you have three 50%+ WR players you "might" win as those 3 people alone can carry the game most of the time and in this game I had 2 very good surviving team mates who helped out massively for a 4 star win. PS - Of the 14 kills, 9 were fighting ships and 5 were transports. [Co-Op] Just unlocked the Zao, never really got on well with it during testing on the PTS until I had an epic 8 kill PvP game on there so thought I'd give it a go on Live and I still like it (I test all the lines I'm interested in on PTS first - Hindenburg still sucks to me!) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[-IAN-] IanH755 Players 2,100 posts 7,141 battles Report post #11698 Posted August 23, 2019 [Scenario - Narai] - Played a bunch more Flint games, came top in all but one (damn "no dispersion front turret New York" got me in smoke so I died early) so I swapped over to the BB line to show people how to play a BB well against bots (too many poor BB/DD players in scenarios!). My team did OK until we entered the harbour when it all went a bit wrong. I entered with Assault Boat 1 and went almost bow on, tanking like a boss and managed a sneaky lob shot against the fleeing Lex for a surprise kill but by staying next to the repair ship and moving backwards slowly it forces bots with torps to miss you, so I ended up virtually soloing 6 ships (all 12 kills were fighting ships) with mains, secondaries & fires all getting multiple kills followed by a ram on the Colorado for the win as the DoY slowly came back from trying to cut off the Lex. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[NWP] Bear__Necessities Players 5,291 posts 15,376 battles Report post #11700 Posted August 23, 2019 1st up. Re-grinding. So much easier the second time round knowing what to do and how to play each individual ship. Not sure how new starters have found it though with lots of experienced players in the lower tiers. 2nd up. We accidentally fail div'd. However, it's only a fail div if you lose . A T5 (who got 7, WP him), and 3 T4's making up all the kills bar 2 from the T6/7's. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
