Shame on u all for not creating a thread alrdy for this.

This game will be awesome for slaughtering natzees and communist pieces of shits and letting them become a victim to the deep sea.

I just wish people weren't this retarded with torpedoes. Last two battles, playing as destroyer, teamkilled by friendly torpedoes...

Like, seriously, this one guy, playing with a Tenryu cruiser, just launched a full spread of torpedoes right into a whole bunch of tightly packed teammates. The target? An almost dead destroyer, outside of his range, on the other side of us, that we were about to kill. Killed me from full health, took a friendly battleship down to 1/3 of health...

fixed my issue with this game, come to find out that it doesnt support SLI at all, which means my dual-gpu card is running at half power to run the card since i had to go in and shut off the other one for this game, how stupid.  Regardless, the game is running fine and i havent had any issues since then. 

I wonder when they are going to get rid of the gold doubloon shit and let me use my gold thats sitting on my wot account since they should all be linked.

Playing with Tenryu, do like 91k total damage throughout the game with guns and torps, sink 3, get High Caliber and traitor, then finally fail to evade a torp from a destroyer. Result? Draw, with our last BB chasing their last DD around an island, each with less than 200hp.

Some battles in this game :lol:

I'm working my way to the us carriers, seem to add an interesting gameplay element. Found the low tier battleships to be rather underpowered compared to the cruisers but I guess this will change as the tiers go up.

I'm having no trouble playing the low-tier BBs. Just gotta make those shots count. Pretty awesome blasting some St Lois with a full broadside, scoring a citadel pen or two :)
Probably the biggest issue is how RNG-dependent BBs are.
Title: Re: World of Warships
Post by: Casimir on July 06, 2015, 12:32:14 am
Well I've always believed their best used as a scalper, laying down long distance fire on the unsuppressed targets and trying to penalise those who are ganking others or focussing destroyers/weaker targets.  Just found that their fire-power is not significantly better than cruisers and the low tier battleships are so slow their extra armour doesn't make up for their terrible handling.  Still as you said there ain't nothing like offloading a full broadside into some puss that's tried to tussle with you mano-a-mano and demolishing all their systems in one go.

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.

had literally just got done complaining about how much i disliked the Tenryu, even made the comment at the start of the match, "this Tenryu sucks" and then went on to be the hero of the match sinking nearly 4 ships, including 2 battleships and saving our carriers.

Got my Langley last night and just been getting to grips with manual dropping the torps.  Have only got a little experience with torps from a tier 4 carrier so it took me a while to get my eye in but so satisfying when you drop a full loading into the side of BB.  The US fighters seem really P completely demolishing the Japanese ones every time.

i saw mention of people playing the beta complaining about how a little destroyer would ram into a battleships when it was doomed and sink the both of them. 

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.

Ugh playing through this really reminds me of the boring grind you have to do to get certain ships/tanks/planes etc like the other ''World of.....'' games...

And the OP golden ammo that's probably coming soon for Warships.

And finally the annoying killsteals because there's no proper assist system and thus you lose out on lots of research points.

Unless they have changed a lot, carrier gameplay was pretty boring after a few matches when I played it, which kind of let me down because I enjoyed playing my Carrier in Navyfield 1. I haven't played this in a while though so they could have improved it, but at one point it was actually made worse, I don't think they have any idea how to balance it properly, their system of the advantages and disadvantages between US and Jap carriers was flawed and maybe it still is.

However the majority of other ships were fun, there are some shitty ships in the trees you'll be happy to see the back of but most can be used effectively in their own way.

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 +
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.

Post by: Dach on July 09, 2015, 11:59:16 pm
This game is great! Only thing missing right now is a freaking HORN so you can warn your teammate they are about to ram you.  :mrgreen:

I'm playing Japanese only, I'm at tier 4 on BB, CL and DD mostly full upgraded except my Myogi.

I prefer playing DD overall, mobility and torpedo is great :) My best game was with the Isokaze, we lost but I made 4 kill out of 6 total kill we did.  8-)

BB are really hard to play. You need to be super precise since you got low number of shots and very slow reload.

Strangely I had more fun with my un-upgraded Kawachi then my Myogi. They totally play different.

Kawachi is go full speed ahead near the middle of the map gun blazing. That's the only way to have success with these short range gun and very slow speed.

You mostly never want to turn anyway, going straight for the enemy team help a lot actually. Help taking less torpedoes, taking less penetrating hits and anyway you got guns on both side.

It's a Brawler kind of BB, complete opposite of the Myogi which is more like a Sniper.

Myogi worst weak spot is the turret configuration and very very slow turret rotation. The 2 back turret cannot rotate 360, so if they are shooting ahead starboard and then suddenly you need to switch to ahead port side you're fuck...

So to counter that I try to always pick one side of the map and circle around to always keep my gun pointing the same side.

Thought after some testing, I found that either your teammate murder pretty much everyone before you reach them or they all die before you can even shoot someone and then you're a sitting duck.  :rolleyes:

Title: Re: World of Warships
Post by: AntiBlitz on July 10, 2015, 06:55:50 pm
well after constant battleship games, of which ive lost practically lost all of them, im just going to conclude that the battleships are just garbage, and here is why.

-Mobility, they have none, whatsoever, torp bait galore
-no speed, all your pub idiots leave you to die from planes.  You end up chasing your cruisers for their AA support, and it does nothing.
-AA, what AA
-The most Inaccurate guns, i dont understand how with 6 batteries, you essentially throw a ring of shells around a ship that is 2.5km from you.  How do dual cannons fire in opposite directions like a man with eye problems
-long reload times, 30 seconds to fire, and you miss all the shells, and then wait as your ship burns and floods

I just dont understand what redeeming qualities these ships possess, high hit points? no, some cruisers have nearly the same health.  Large caliber guns?  sure, high damage, if you can hit them, ever, when you do its nice, but you could have just used a cruiser and shot them a dozen times and did the same thing.  Maybe i shouldnt judge them by the low tiers, but if these are what represents the battleship lines for the rest of the game, then i see no point in playing anything other then DD's and cruisers.  Now my opinion comes from playing the Kawachi, and now the Myogi, which seem to have completely different play styles and ship setups.  Some people in game said to try out the American line, and claimed it was better.  idk, i guess we will see, i just dont like where the battleships stand, they just seem like floating targets.

idk, maybe i just am better suited for cruisers, maybe im a cruiser player, but that Tenryu man, i have sunk multiple ships with that thing, and  it just performs so well.

Now on to the AA, why the hell is it so bad, i was surrounded by cruisers, and a two torp plane squadrons just came in and bombed me out of the center of them and flew away unscathed, literally no damage done.  The AA just seems to be shit, maybe it was because they were tier 7 carriers, but man, they didnt take any damage.  The ship AA just seems useless.
Title: Re: World of Warships
Post by: Casimir on July 10, 2015, 09:56:40 pm
I wouldn't say they are garbage just that at a low tier they are definitely weaker, I am assuming that as the tiers increase they will become noticeably stronger. In the mean time you are probably better playing cruiser as its much easier to control, is more versatile and is less of a target for enemies.

With regards to the AA it is almost insignificant, unless you have good air cover you cant do much about the enemy bombers.  Speaking from my CV point of view BB's do nothing to my planes and so unless they communicate well with their friendly air support they have little chance of dealing with the attacks.
Title: Re: World of Warships
Post by: Kalitorian on July 11, 2015, 05:49:26 am
Most low tier BBs just suck. Also I hope your not one of those unfortunate souls doomed to play the Myogi.... this piece of shit came straight from hell.
Wyoming is "alright". It`s nice once the enemy gets close to you - just not too close. Got full-hp torped by a Clemson two games in a row  :rolleyes:
AA is pretty much useless on low-tier BB. Just start turning as soon as you spot trop-bombers.
Title: Re: World of Warships
Post by: Teeth on July 15, 2015, 12:39:26 pm
Fucking Wyoming, what is the point of having a range of 14 km if the guns can't hit the far side of a barn. With 30 second reload times it is pretty aggravating to have 5/6th of your shots miss purely due to gun spread. No way to reliable go for citadel hits. The South Carolina felt way easier to play with higher accuracy. Takes me back to my St. Louis days with which I would reliably lob hit after hit on decks at 9 km distance.

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.
Holy crap, i must've had some phenomenal RNG with it to think it's anything near decent. Range of 9.8 KMs, and i'm struggling to hit the side of a fucking South Carolina at 4-5 KMs with perfectly aimed shots... Really, the only way to reliably deal damage with this heap of junk is to ram something.

Tried this game yesterday with a friend of mine, we enjoyed the hell out of tier 1-2. But then the tier 3 battle ship happened. Suddenly we were getting only matches with 80% tier 4/5 enemies, and we were getting absolutely slammed by Aircraft Carriers, over and over again. Not to mention tier 5 destroyers.

Are battleships supposed to be always the lowest tier in the matchmaker?
We literally played around 10 games, and only once we got a max tier 4, 0 games as top tier.

We had a squad of ships(tier 4 usually) and we would always match up tier 5, but slaughter everyone.(only time we really hurt was tier Carriers before I got limited AA on my Myogi)

Always use AP rounds on BB's, except when targeting destroyers(use HE here). Never Use HE rounds, just not worth it.

Post by: [ptx] on July 22, 2015, 09:37:57 pm
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).
Title: Re: World of Warships
Post by: Teeth on July 22, 2015, 10:50:01 pm
Playing Tier III BB's puts me in matches with anything from Tier II to Tier V pretty evenly, I cannot complain. One problem is that often the amount of CV's is not even between the teams, which is awful in lower tiers as nobody has decent AA.

I decided to go for IJN CV's but the grind to it is absolutely awful. The Kawachi is the worst ship I played, though if you get lucky you can do well. Myogi is a different scenario, it's utter lack of guns just means you are always going to do nearly nothing. Both these ships are objectively terrible and I can't help but feel this has been done to curb the popularity of BB's and CV's. The American line is much better, the South Carolina is passable and the Wyoming is great. Its all about those citadel hits with AP.

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.

BB are hard, I'll give you that. IMO they just require ways more thinking and carefull move when you play.

Totally dodged 2 interwined torp drop from 2 CV squadron with my un-upgraded Kongo... went like batshit in chat... SO MUCH DO"D"GE, WOW.  8-)

Think I had like torpedoe 1 meter from each side of the ship.  :mrgreen:

Should totally start recording my game for shit like this.  :)

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:

DD, CL = HE
BB = AP

That's pretty much me 97% of the time.

3% is when I'm in a BB and realise that I'm shooting HE because I didn't switch to AP at the start of the match.  :oops:

Finally found the matchmaker chart.
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.

Post by: AntiBlitz on July 30, 2015, 05:58:37 pm
so finally got into the Hosho, or however its spelt, the first jap cv.  1 AA squadron and 2 torp squads, each squad is 4 planes.  The American cv however uses squads of 6, but they only get 2 out at a time instead of 3.  This is, alteast the rule for the tier 4 cv's, and it seems, that everytime im playing against an American CV, he just smashes my planes, out of the sky so easily. 

Id like to get into a higher tier so i can see these different carrier doctrines you can have, because everygame now ive played with higher tiered cv's, they fly nothing but AA, and it just seems kind of anti-fun.  So you wipe out the enemy cv's planes, but then once done, you have no way of doing what the enemy cv was trying to do in the first place, so you become useless, hence, you ruin your game and anothers. 

If anyone knows btw how the hell to launch more of one type of plane, thatd be great, i assume you can only have what they give you out(1 AA, 2 torps on jap, rather then 2 AA, 1 torp).  But to me, it just makes sense that if i can communicate with 3 squadrons, i could launch my reserve planes to help protect my single torp squad better.  Or fight off the torp planes pooing all over me because a single American squad of AA buttrapes my 2 squads sent out at separate times.

Oh and it seems once your AA planes are fighting another, they are stuck like fucking glue in the air, they cant retreat at all, so they just die, which is kinda gay.  So easy to wipe jap squads of AA out of the air.

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.

I got the now Hosho as well and playing it only made me realize how terrible most CV players are. The MM is terrible and I very often get matched against two carriers, somehow the opposite has never happened in 15 battles. Still, I can do quite well very easily, currently averaging just over 50k damage per round. Too bad the torpedo bombers fly so far apart from each other, making it hard to score more than 2 out of 4 torpedoes on a single target, even on a perfect manual drop. If they could be made to drop much closer, I am pretty sure I could nail 4/4 nearly every time on Battleships.

The extra squadrons function purely as reserve as far as I know, you are always stuck with a 1 fighter and 2 torpedo bomber setup in the Hosho I believe.

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.

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.
Title: Re: World of Warships
Post by: [ptx] on September 30, 2015, 06:59:58 pm
Wyoming is nice, but Kongo just has so much more powerful guns than the New York. Just not scoring citadel pens against other BBs in the New York, like i do in Kongo.
Title: Re: World of Warships
Post by: Zergmar on October 01, 2015, 10:46:52 am
I don't even remember hitting things with Kongo, maybe I should revisit it. Are you staying at 21km range or get in closer?
Title: Re: World of Warships
Post by: [ptx] on October 01, 2015, 10:51:50 am
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.
Title: Re: World of Warships
Post by: [ptx] on October 03, 2015, 07:45:35 pm
I imagine they might be a bit better against soft targets, due to their larger amount of guns (at least until Fuso), but IJN BBs have a better time against other BBs, due to higher penetration.

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'm thinking about getting into this as well....

I read a lot of battleship discussion in this thread; has anyone thought about the fact that
iRL battleships were probably mostly used with precise coordinate shelling via spotters (troops/planes)?
and also against fixed positions On LAND supporting GROUND ATTACK FORCES?
Could be why they fail as a ship v ship thing... at least if they're being realistic with it.
