World of Warships

[[ptx]]

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.

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.

Not really. Most games i've had as tier3, i've been top tier.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

I wonder when will they fix the component hitboxes. Make a small scout run between islands, see half of enemy team, about to escape unharmed... steering + engine + set on fire by a shell, that didn't hit me, just passed over my rear...

This happens way too often :/

I wasn't very clear. I ment as a BB always use AP rounds except against Destroyers.

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.

why no screenshots?

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. 

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

Should totally start recording my game for shit like this.

Ok I take that back.... Full upgrade Minekaze is OP as fuck...
