I swear they did something to the sharn during my time away from WOWS. The thing overpens almost everything now leading to AP doing bugger all to cruisers, those being the thing it used to munch on all game like a fat kid in a candy store.
It over-penetrates far more often, not to mention that it is nearly (if not completely) impossible to do any meaningful penetration damage to destroyers while shooting AP. This was made to encourage switching ammunition for appropriate targets, but the problem is that German HE is almost useless in an overwhelming majority of situations. The current meta of the game benefits ships with high DPM and concealment while having thinner armor end up causing more over-penetration damage than anything else (bonus points for a hard to hit or even below-waterline citadel). Of course, a solid tap amidships with high caliber AP is more than often a death sentence, but with how quickly some of the ships can move this is often easier said than done. The Scharnhorst suffers in this regard as it's the polar opposite to everything previously stated, and the 281mm does not have the accuracy or the punch to reliably evaporate cruisers in a single salvo unless you're at nearly point blank range. After a few very frustrating games I decided to put WOWS down for a bit, I might pick it back up if submarines end up getting released so I can relive some of my fonder NavyField memories.
I still do super well in it tho it just really weird that they nerfed it as badly as they did. It still manfights battleships super well though so as long as I can zoom across the map at cruiser speeds and insert torps into the side of anyone foolish enough to push forward im happy
Note that RN BBs have special HE, they pen 1/4 of their calibre instead of 1/6 of most other ships. So the RN BB HE is able to citadel cruisers and stuff, and overall does way more damage. They're the most cancerous HE spammers in the game atm.
I guess the cock womble weekenders are out and about huh? Really struggling to get any wins. Had one game where I was basically kiting 5 ships, ended up almost getting a win but as the last enemy ship that was shooting at me died, I got blasted from another ship I couldn't see. Ended up with 2.5mil damage potential but still fukken lost :C
having a rough time with the iron duke tbh seems it wants to be short range but has no maneueverability
Tier 5 anything sucks for the brits it seems, I hated the Emerald and the Iron D. Just felt useless compared to anything else and hopeless if you got uptier
Would assume most is just my understanding of the game as having hit or miss games with the tier 5 DD. Sometimes feel absolutely useless or actually as if I'm doing something. No idea what is classified as a decent damage number for a tier5 ship but I would assume taking anything out bigger than myself while surviving, spotting is better than nothing.
Oh aye, forgot Brit DDs are a thing now
For DDs, you should focus on capturing control points, killing enemy DDs, spotting for your team, and using your torpedos to harass/kill enemy BBs. Capping gives a crazy amount of experience, and does a lot to help your team win the game. I don't know a lot about RN DDs, but they seem pretty capable when it comes to fighting enemy DDs.
Does karma do anything yet? Does it have a point?
Only raises your max reports per day. Other than that, no.
Tier 5 seems hell for anything other than my iron duke which i still am not a huge fan of. Got my first hate message too from a game in my Acasta where I was double digit health after taking out a BB and DD and for the rest of the game I just lurked just out of spotting distance while dropping smoke between allies and enemies while still making sure the enemy was spotted (not sure if this blocks allies view maybe that's the reason why?) still learning so not really sure
Are the Naval battles worth attempting or will i ruin the clan rep somehow if I fuck it up?
it's not like we really care about the clan's rep so if it actually allows you I guess go for it
I'LL MAKE YOU PROUD* *probably not
Got the Fletcher now, stock grind and a retraining captain is a fucking horrible grind though because I've lost every game I've played in it so far. My teams are just useless. Doing upwards of 120k damage per battle, keeping this spotted, trying to harass enemy DDs but I'm at such a disadvantage without at least my captain skills. Really hurts putting in so much effort just for the rest of the team to piss it all away.
welcome to the weekend, the warriors of sat and sun come to play
I think it's just the world balancing itself out. Last week was 90% wins and great teams for at least 4 or so days. Had winstreaks of 8-10 games in sessions. I'm paying the price
Infact, can I be bumped up to get the ability to accept invites? Only so I can accept my friends in without having to wait for you fellas. I noticed that the least time a recruiter has been online is like 14 days.
shoulda mentioned me I'd be right on I think only drarrk has the power to promote us
I keep forgetting that's a thing. @Drarrk helooooo
This drop bug on the US carriers dive bombers is both hilarious and fucking infuriating. Nothing like dealing 12k damage to a destroyer at tier 8 from a single well timed drop
My life is cursed by the wargaming launcher. I'm not sure which member you are in game so my solution was to make anyone who is even moderately active a recruiter. At the same time I demoted the guys that I'm pretty sure must've died.
Oh ye, username would've been helpful. Nevermind though, it looks like you got me. Thanks dude! Also RIP to the fallen
If they ain't making oil or finding us oil monkeys they ain't worth keeping as recruiters, at the same I don't even know if they knew they were recruiters themselves but oh well.
Think only me and my pal have been doing the naval battle shit for oil. GOTTA GIT DAT OIL
I know this thread is quasi-dead, but I'm hoping someone here can help me out. I logged in for the first time in ages to check things out. I found Scharnhorst, Massachusetts, and Prinz Eugen sitting in my port. I don't know why I have these, because I definitely didn't buy them and I have no rental timers on them. The only event going is some Soviet one and these aren't weeb ships from their anime promotion either. It's also worth noting that I have the option to sell them and actually get some cash which I don't think you can normally do for limited time ships.
Assuming the ships do not have their name between brackets like [this], then they are indeed premium ships. Most likely scenario is that someone else started using your account. Check some stats tracking sites or the in-game summary for last played dates for those ships. If that's the case, I would file a support ticket if I were you. As tempting as it would be to just enjoy the ships, if they were purchased via stolen payment card info or if the cardholder otherwise backcharges the account it could cause you a major headache in the long run. Either that or you got very lucky during an event where crates or gifts were distributed, which would be a pleasant surprise to return to.
