Just logged in and found out the Hiryuu is just gone. Had some really fun times playing that ship. Shame.
Suppose I can finally try out the Kagero though with the free money wg gives you for coming crawling back.
You should have the Ryujo now afaik?
Yeah I already had up to Shoukaku. I just liked playing tier 7.
Kagero is a lot of fun tho. Taking TRB feels like the right thing to do since everyone and their mom has radar these days, but there are a lot of times where I feel smoke could maybe save a teammate. Hard decision.
Just got the Iowa. I am doing okay in it (exactly 50% winrate, about 80k damage a game over 14 games or so), but I somehow keep attracting the ire of my teammates.
I understand that my positioning and aim could use some improvement, but I wish people weren't so rabidly angry all the time in random battles. At the end of the day, it's a game.
Are you sitting too far back? Damage isn't as important as winrate. BBs that sit back bow on sniping will be "ired" on.
You might be too far back, letting your team die with minimal support, and then rack the 80k at the very end from the enemy team coming towards your position.
I try to keep my positioning balanced, not too close but not too far. Usually 5-9 km behind allied destroyers.
Man, firing anything that isn't a full broadside in the Amagi feels like you're just wasting ammo; you're gonna hit nothing but ocean.
That said, getting the broadside off is certainly a special feeling.

Why is WG like this.
I don't know, but it'd be hysterical to get a collab with most of the entries in this list
Is there any sure way to make the best of a game when your team are all useless farts, especially when you're +2 uptier?
Seem to be losing the majority of games this evening -_-
If you're bottom tier, sometimes it's unfortunately just the way it be is in this game. The best you can do is try your best to support your higher tier teammates. It's not as bad as it is in WoT to be bottom tier in this game, since you can always affect the enemy in some way.
The other day I was playing top tier as a Kagero, and I managed to win a push and subsequently the game because a friendly Leander gave me fire support when I engaged with the enemy's DD. It's just one example, but extra guns can go a long way even if you're outclassed.
The best you can make out of those games is to not let them tilt you.
Wargaming games will always find opportunities to send you swarms of potatoes for teammates. Try your best. Look back at the way you played and think if there's anything better you could've done. If not, just accept that it happens and move on.
Welp, figured I'd try one game today. Having a great battle, albeit in my stock King GV and the fukken server dies.
Man, what is up with the EU servers?

Oh shit I forgot we had a thread on this, started playing again recently and oh my lord the amount of hate pm's im getting for playing the new CV's is amazing.
I had a guy add me to tell me he was blacklisting me after I singled him out to die from torp bombers.
IJN DDs are so fun man. Those CVs made a mistake not bullying me with rockets.

This was my favourite hate PM after a match

Could you throw me onto FPEU too? "TreeForTwo"
Seems I'm not the only one who had massive server connection issues yesterday, asking in various game chats and other people agree that they had the same shit.
I decided to try and let wargaming know, BOY do you have to jump through a lot of fucking hoops to get anywhere.
-Tell wargaming SUPPORT twitter that servers are wonky, they tell me they dont offer support, submit a ticket to their support site
-Submit a ticket to their support site about wonky servers, they tell me they don't offer support for bugs, go to the forum
-Go to forum and whine about wonky servers, lets see if anything happens (probably not)
Expect an invite Soon™
I think I should probably stop grinding BBs in this game. I dont know exactly why yet but im definitely the shittest gneisenau player in the world.
Always feel much better when playing a ca or a dd.
Get the compensation for the issues here: World of Warships
This was happening post the compensation issues. Day or two after
about to his this up i think last time I tried was in beta but never gave it a proper chance.
there any "bad" trees to generally avoid or pretty much everything viable?
I've only recently started playing again, but generally the game seems decently balanced at the moment.
The tree you will need the most skill to perform well with right now is probably the German tree. I feel they got hurt a lot by power creep after the British tree got more fleshed out, but they still have some good ships.
Surprisingly, the Russian DDs are pretty bad. The Japanese DDs are also bad because of what exodus said.
German BBs are powercreeped, as usual in Wargaming bias games, so don't bother going up them. The tier 6 and 8 are okay but rest are garbage.
Brit cruisers before tier 6 are mostly aids.
I really like the idea of the gneis, it's a good feeling when you manage to get under medium range and just pelt an enemy BB with all your secondaries, your faster reload and even your torps. However, that ship also drives me mad when you're shooting at stuff over longer rages because 6 guns doesn't feel like enough to make up for the garbage dispersion it sometimes has. Nothing more frustrating than getting your rounds to target but then just watching them splash around it.
I'm still debating wether to get the their 8 because I really like the idea of having torps for a close range surprise, however when I'm in tier 10 games and watch the german BBs just spraying people at 10k with secondaries, it's pretty glorious.
Scharnhorst fixes a lot of the problems with the gneisenau but it's also a premium so...
neat
going for RN BB, seems fun just weird time understanding how rounds play out right now
