I've been enjoying it so far, bug free for me except a crash when closing. Hope they add some Royal Navy ships soon because these yank tubs are ugly AF.
Add me if you wanna squad up: Casimir4794
Hope they make a special World of.. games in the future. Maybe named ''World of Warfare'' or something where you can play as warships/battleships, tanks and planes at the same time. Then i can make kamikaze tenno hentain bandai suicide dives.
I've found that BBs work well, when you've got islands to hide behind whilst you reload, so you only poke out for a short while. BBs get screwed over bad out in the open.
Loving this game so far. Bit gutted lost my stuff after last wipe.
I mostly enjoying spamming torps at routes I think the enemy will take early game (it works quite often), and snaking away from enemies whilst torping behind me (also works very often).
Add me: NejStark
If one would manage to get near another ship can you ram them? And go Banzai on their asses?
Im still a little puzzled about when to use AP vs HE, there isnt any sort of sense system for armor like in wot, but you do get a noise when shooting AP sometimes thats like a metal creaking boat noise, but im not sure if that is a good noise or not.
http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/18034-basics-damage-mechanics/Do read, had the same issue, now i know.
Pretty much a must read for any WoWs player.
There's no proper assist system? What are you on about?
Well doing critical/system damages and hits to citadel gives you hell of a good exp reward so i think the assist exp is more than reasonable.
Still sucks that if everyone in your team killsteals you'll go out of a winning round with a shitty reward mostly.You seem to be playing a different kind of WoWs....
Watched a Youtube vid of ppl playing as carriers....
Now I really want a carrier.
You seem to be playing a different kind of WoWs....
Even if I end up having no kills at all I still manage to get into the top 5 all the time.
Kawachi is an absolute garbage ship, a single St. Louis will crush it. Not to mention every ship of its tier can outrange it, so the Kawachi has no advantages whatsoever, its just shit all around. Hopefully the Myogi is better, also i couldnt look at that forum about the APvsHE stuff, it says i dont have permission.It's actually pretty decent, if played right. It excels at pushing ahead, since it can bring so many guns to front, so it almost never has to expose its side to the enemies it is engaging. Also, having guns on both sides of the ship is a big +
They ARE going to wipe progress eventually, right?
Don't feel like investing much time because of that
oh really? is that so? I figured with it being open beta, open to the public that it wouldnt have needed to be wiped. But if they compensate me with a nice beta ship then all is well lol.
I wouldn't care cos on full release i hope they will have royal navy.

Also, having guns on both sides of the ship is a big +I take this back. Have been playing mostly other ships, including US BBs (getting close to tier 5 there), but got around to playing some more Kawachi yesterday.
It sucks balls before being fully upgraded though, but then again all BBs do.
Also, there should probably be a similar thread on NA forums.
Not really. Most games i've had as tier3, i've been top tier.
Maybe the MM was just being a bitch yesterday.Maybe exceptionally, but this stuff was confirmed by a dev for world of tanks, so it's quite likely to be here as well.
So much for leveling through battleships with a friend then, because this is exactly the special 'platoon mm' system from WOT. Cruisers and Destroyers are absolutely fine though, top tier all day.
HE rounds vs BBs can work, when you don't have cool guns and can only fire at the rear/front of a BB or can only fire off a few shots (and hope to set it on fire).
its in open beta, so i know without a doubt they will drastically change the game up on a whim, since they did that to tanks like 7 years into it, but id really like to see squadrons of planes, not single ones, player controlled AA, and honestly, submarines. I just feel they would add so much to the game. Would be cool to have ground targets or something maybe as well.
im glad you all hate the kawachi as much as i do, im relieved to not be the only one. I still do believe the fast cruisers are far better then any bb. I watched a single Murmansk dance around at like 15km shooting me while i couldnt hit the bastard. He ended up sinking a North Carolina bb and took a quarter of my health away before he scurried off with half health. I have such a hard time hitting someone who can nimbly dodge shells at 15km, though i think most do.
Me and my buddy just got out off the tier 3 battleship hell, and it turns out that the screwed up matchmaker is gone all of sudden. Getting a bunch of tier 4/5 matches now, and hardly ever any 6. So, I was either totally wrong about the MM in tier 3 battleships, or the co-op mode simply takes most of the tier 1/2 population, making it impossible to get many top tier matches in 3.Well, i did have my last game in the Kawachi yesterday. I was one of the two tier3 ships (the other was a DD in the other team) in that tier6 battle :lol:
Finally found the matchmaker chart.I have also heard that tier 3 battleships are rather crap to make getting into battleships harder, as apparently in the earlier stages of the game battleships were way too popular. Also, a tough tier III and IV might help to prevent over-saturation of the CV pool. That said, I won't deny that the Kawachi is a horrible turd of a ship, but the South Carolina could compete quite well in my experience, I don't see how that is a bad ship.
It also explains why the tier 3 battleships are getting absolutely slammed. Zero AA and zero mobility, while 75% of the time they are going up against T4 & T5 Aircraft Carriers.
Same here actually, just got Hosho today. The carriers seem a bit too good, especially against Battleships. I mean, with zero upgrades and zero experience, I don't feel like I should be able to sink stuff all by myself - in the first match.
Bump. Would just like to say that Japanese tier5 ships are amazing. Kongo has made me love BBs. Furutaka makes Omaha seem pathetic.IJN battleships made me hate the whole class, even the Kongo. I just never hit anything with these guns, Wyoming on the other hand has shown me the world of many guns and big citadel hits. Ironically, considering the in-game dispersion stats, the USN BBs tier 4/5/6 all seem much more accurate than Myogi/Kongo. Even with all the upgrades and stuff.
This is what I mostly play these days. Add NejStark if you wnt to fleet up. Mostly play Clemson and Langley, about to buy Bogue.
Lets get a carrier team working!
you cant, they dont allow multi carrier platoons.
Ah thats lame!
You should get in closer with any BB. At ranges in excess of 15km you're only skirmishing. Although i have gotten a few citadel pens at that range. You really start to deal damage when you get below 10km range.That's my issue with IJN BBs, in the New Mexico or New York, I always feel confident that I will keep dealing decent damage even at their maximum range.
Incredibly well done game. Previously I tried tanks, but warships are much better. Tanks are artificial, without planes, infantry, hidden guns, etc. Ships are ideal and great image a real battle, missing only submarines, but I don't regret lol
On X tier opponents are very demanding, but gameplay is even better.
What do you say about organize our crpg team? Now I'm playing in a platoon with Hetman and Erasmas.
I have no idea why WG insists on making the low tiers in all their games freaking boring. Sure, you don't want to overwhelm newbies with advanced stuff, but they way overdo it.
I literally just now unlocked zhe german tier 3 ship :D
And yea I am on EU
TheHetman and TheErasmas will probably curse (kurwa) when he gets to know I play too :D
I'm a BB player, have T8 and T5 IJN BBs (with unlocked T9), T7 and T6 US BBs. Have random DDs, Cruisers and CVs in other tiers from all other fleets.
