Over the fucking line. I though you were better than this Sandwich, this is real fucking low.
You don't even play TB's with us, you have not seen what we have seen and you have no idea how the full smoke meta for top 4800+ ELO works. And now you're directly shitting on one of the few good /wowsg/ players who cares about the community and actually helps out people instead of just mindlessly grinding and begging for gold.

My pre-nerf Kiev ended up with about a 10% more WR than my Tashkent in the end.
But even my post-nerf Kiev can get Krakken if I am in top form. I basically was forced to stay close to my allies to not die horribly in my Tashkent and had to rely on others far too much.
When my kiev came up to an enemy DD, usually on a flag, I just shat all over them without taking any damage in seconds. My Tashkent however, took lots of hits from enemy cruisers that were 10km+ away from the knife fight I was having with any destroyer at any time.
The Tashkent torpedos were just not usable at short range like the Kievs were. 55kts is just laughably easy to dodge, no matter the range. the rudder shift time is literally almost double the Kiev, 4.8 compared to 8.5. You cant tell me with a straight face thats not significantly worse. thats like going from a typical destroyer rudder shift to a typical cruiser rudder shift. Also I even forgot to mention the atrocious concealment, which is even higher than the Khabarovsk/Kiev. Its just a plain bad T8 ship in every way and I still prefer the post-nerf Kiev over it. Thats not to say I didnt eventually learn how to drive it well; I ended up with a 55% WR before I upgraded to the Udaloi which isn't that bad. But I always felt like my team carried me to most victories...

the quote about torps in that post was about bucky's torps
>>fubuki
>torpedos were too slow if you wanted them to have decent range and better damage
so i answered about bucky's torps
as for tash, you always can use her stock torps, they are literally the same as kiev has, they are better for a last chance attack or an extremely close knife fighting
but then, 8 km torps are usable for denying capping while 4 km are not really
>the rudder shift time is literally almost double the Kiev, 4.8 compared to 8.5
did you read my post? it's only 20% worse than kiev's, 4.8 vs 6 without modules or 3.68 vs 4.8 with modules; upgrade damn hull
>Also I even forgot to mention the atrocious concealment, which is even higher than the Khabarovsk/Kiev
yet again it's completely not true
tash has better concealment than kiev, 8.5 km vs 9 km
install the concealment module which kiev cannot install
also pic related, that's with no captain skills since i didn't reset them and with type 2 -4% enemy accuracy camo
i have no idea how you grinded tash to udaloi and still spread this misinformation about 8.5 sec rudder and worse concealment than kiev and low range (13.92 km isn't a low range) etc

No matter how much autism you throw at your posts, no one will agree with you that the Tashkent is actually good. You may have gotten in enough favorable matches to personally trick yourself into believing that its good, but you're only lying to yourself.

Matchmaker will always make players win rates with certain ships seem higher or lower than the average since if you start winning too much, it will begin to make you lose a lot, and vise versa. I could win 10 matches in a row with a Colorado but only because I lost too many matches with different, far superior ships since it eventually just decides to put you into the same team as people with %55+ WR and an opposing team full of people with %45- WR.
>>135673047

>your carrier has a 44% winrate
>>135673047
well we are speaking about tashkent's winrate here
she has a bad rep, and i even understand why, she should be completely upgraded, hull and gfcs, have the right modules (most notably the rudder shift and concealment ones) and she mandatory should have a captain with aft, otherwise she is unplayable, but if she has all of those she is a pretty nice ship
anyway despite her bad rep the general stats show she is doing pretty well overall, not stellar but not bad either
also here is the link again
http://warships.today/vehicles/na
it's more than 52k battles for her
>>135673613
Similarly speaking from personal experience, everyone thinks I am a shitter because I never win with an Amagi and have a 40% WR with it, and it has a reputation for being an amazing ship. But I almost always pull my own weight in most matches with it, however I typically end up getting gunned down by 4 ships at the same time since my teams always lose ships far faster than the opposing.
And yet, I currently win most matches with my most favored main ships.
>>135674156
Senpai if you can't carry and carry HARD in the Amagi you are a fucking shitter, that boat is a god.
you fucking retard tashkent is a piece of shit that is the size of a cruiser

>>135674421
>Amagi
>bad
holy moses nice meme
>>135674604
No one ever said the Amagi was bad. Cant you read? I was merely stating that if your win rate with other ships is high enough, MM will always put you on shit teams and make winning hopeless. The same goes for any good ship, if you win too much with other ships, you will get put on shit teams, its inevitable.
Also the Amagi is dogshit until you get the range upgrade for it which comes after like 100k exp

>>135674373
has a better winrate than benson on na :^)
also as for the ship sizes, honestly i dunno how to compare them
tash is a bit bigger than kiev... it seems, but i dunno how much bigger
the wide camera which we have in game is the source of that idea that ship sizes are off there since it gives us a distorted perspective
is there any site which lists the size of wows ships in meters or something?
>>135674604
>battlecruiser, with terrible belt armor, and shit accuracy, forced to fight at ranges less than 19km

>>135674604
Compared with the North Carolina with concealment specs it's nowhere near as good though.
The bad average player stats for the NorCal is mostly because most people don't know how to play it properly.
>>135674924
I saw in image somewhere where someone compared the Tashkent and the Udaloi.
Basically the Tashkent is longbote as fuck and a fatty.
>>135674604
who the FUCK said amagi is bad?
It has the highest RPM of the T8 BBs. It has good speed, and the armor isn't penetrated the moment someone looks at it funny. Also the turrets are fast and have very good arcs.

>tash is a bit bigger than kiev... it seems, but i dunno how much bigger
Its a lot bigger. the Tashkent is literally a cruiser and only a destroyer in name only. Look at its stern and the shape. its the shape of a typical cruiser, not a destroyer. The khabarovsk is arguably a light cruiser as well that tries to be a destroyer, but it just isnt.
Reminder that Amagi's turrets turn faster than Mogami's 155s.

well, udaloi is actually a pretty small ship
if we use the historical data (the ru wiki has it, use google translator if you are interested) and assume the game follows them
kiev is 125 m in length x 11.7 m wide
tash is 139.7 m in length x 13.7 m wide
which is just ~12% longer than kiev and 17% wider
udaloi is a pretty small ship 116.2 m x 12 m, which shorter than fubuki (!) albeith slightly fatter 118.4 m x 10.4 m
shimakaze is 126 m x 11.2 m and khab is 140 x 13, so khab should be like of the size of tash

It IS an omaha, it's not their "version". It was lent to Russia as part of the Lend Lease program.it was also returned to the US in horrid condition
Also, just because theyre the same class of ship doesnt mean they get the same upgrades. Marblehead's in game armament is the way it was equipped when it was first commissioned in 1924, back before navies really realised what a threat air power was going to beis what I would say if that were actually the case. However it doesnt seem she had at any point in time the main gun arrangement she's shown to have in game
Her AA armament is accurate though. 4 adorable little 3" guns for AA.
>>135697814

You can't beat that. There is zero reason to play USN ever.

The Germans get good AP with relatively good gun handling but shit for armor.
The Vodka DDs are full gunboats (although the low tiers are pretty garbo) that get bigger guns with good accuracy but terrible detection range and like 4km range torps.
>>135699746
If I was shit I would say sure but seeing how I'm not, gonna have to say no.

The code for things being listed off as a submarine class has been in the game since the beginning and turns up in a few of the test ships or in the ARP commander, they're just never going to actually make a class out of it.

>Yamato is known to have fired at enemy ships on only one occasion. This was at the Battle off Samar in October 1944 against the U.S. Taffy 1 and Taffy 3 escort carrier groups, with rounds possibly hitting USS Gambier Bay (CVE-73). Musashi is known to have fired her guns in anger only once when she fired "sankaidan" (incendiary shrapnel) anti-aircraft shells during the Battle of the Sibuyan Sea in October 1944. One of these reportedly exploded in the barrel, disabling the gun.
>>135701504
Apparently those Type 3 shells were fucking awful, they were completely useless at killing planes and shredded the insides of the guns every time you fired them.
>>135701553
why was IJN so terrible with musashi and yamato? how does musashi gun barrel even explode after firing once
>>135701586
They were basically designed for a completely different war to the one they ended up in.
>>135701727
what war were they designed for?
>>135701829
Shooting battleships.
Not plane spam.
>>135701829
One where the US navy is made up of BBs that the Yamatos could outmatch in a traditional gunnery fight which would cripple their ability to control the Pacific, not one where they never got to shoot at anything until they were just mobbed by an endless supply of vastly superior american air power.
>>135701953
well yeah, but the gun barrel exploded after its first shot
it's like they didn't do trial and error kek
>>135701965
Sorry I thought you meant that type 3s were designed for a different war.
>>135701986
>During this attack, Musashi fired sanshikidan anti-aircraft shells from her main armament; one shell detonated in the middle gun of Turret No. 1, possibly because of a bomb fragment in the barrel, and wrecked the turret's elevating machinery
It's not like this was the first time they'd ever fired the guns.
>>135702038
Oh, those were just an example of Japan's shoddy technology and engineering during the war.

Man, four crashes to desktop today, and I don't know if it's the Nagasaki port mod, or the smoke border mod causing it.
Couldn't get any screenshots off, but lucky I had nVidia Shadowplay turned on, I can just screencap the video. The exact moment before I crashed, and I still don't know the cause.
>>135702512
I am pretty sure it's Smoke border.

VALHALLA RISING
tfw profintern and svetlana have 130mm guns and therefore can use aft
profintern is the new murmansk:3
p.s. as for the name svetlana, while it's a female given name, what's interesting, it's an artificial name, it was coined by a russian philologist and poet vostokov for his poem 'svetlana and mstislav' (mstislav is an actual male given name) in 1802 and then a much more known russian poet zhukovsky popularized it in his ballad of the same name in 1813, much later, after the soviet revolution, it became pretty popular and widely used as an actual given name for girls (so when this ship was launched in 1915 it wasn't an actual name then). also the name svetlana was popularized as an actual name because the first girls with that name were the daughters of stalin, bukharin and tukhachevsky, it was also recognized by the russian orthodox church during the ww2, it's derived from the word 'svet' meaning 'light' so the church linked it to the name st. photina with the same meaning
btw diana, avrora, svetlana and moskva are the only russian ships with feminine names, all the other ones have masculine names
>>135705718
Incoming tomboys?
oh, i forgot to mention, svetlana and profintern it's the very same ship
it's probably the first time when wg makes one ship to appear twice at two different tiers, diana and avrora are two different ships of the same class...
>>135705801
you know, it amuses me how americans can call their dd 'she' and at the same time name them after their known marine officers who obviously were male, all of the usn dd have masculine names just like all of the soviet dd
warship is a masculine word in russian btw
i miss my bros on eu

Why can't all languages be logical and have none of this gendered noun nonsense? The best languages are Korean and Japanese.

What modules to get for Aoba? So far its been a very meh ship for me.
>>135707864
get range on any cruiser before you get hull upgrades
>>135707917

Ops not modules, I meant 'upgrades'. Thinking of getting steering gear and main battery mod 2.

that crap makes your main guns shoot 10% slower
Can someone help me what to do against DDs in smoke when I play CV or DD? Somehow, they are always able to see me, and at the same time I cant see them. Even with sonar active I need to get within like 3km to reveal them. Last game I had one ruskie DD kill me from 30k hp in my Hipper pretty much solo while I tried to get in range from 8km to 3, at which point I saw him but it was too late.
How do I counter this? And why doesn't it work when I try it myself. What's the secret? And does anyone think this is a good mechanic?
>>135708751
>Hipper
>3km sonar
I recommend suicide.
>>135708749
My guns cant keep up with rotation of the hull. What is the point of reload being done if the guns are constantly trailing behind the target.
>>135708751
Not sailing into smoke?
>>135708973
>>135708938
These motherfuckers can reach my well beyond 10km. Should I simply run away whenever someone shoots at me from smoke? Is it a free I-win-button?
>>135708751
Just understand more about smoke mechanism. Any ships inside a smokescreen has no sight of enemy ships unless provided by his own team mates.
As a DD, dump torps towards the smoke. It's very likely the enemy DD is just chilling inside and not moving. If you are sighted due to your own gunfire, stop firing immediately.
As a CV, you want to hover your scouting planes slightly away from the smoke area so the enemy DD's AA has lesser effect. If you are feeling ballsy enough, you can roughly estimate the DD's enemy position inside the smoke and torp it.
>>135708751
you use radar :^)
well, when they release it
actually it's not nearly that good as you may think it is
>Somehow, they are always able to see me
by the same mechanic which allows you to see ships outside of your personal acquisition range, i.e. like you can see, say an enemy minekaze being 10 km from her because that minekaze has your teammate farragut on her tail 5 km from her
same stuff works for the smoke, a ship in the smoke or behind the smoke personally cannot see you just like you cannot see them, but if their teammate sees you, they share that data and allow the ship in the smoke see you just like you can see the minekaze in the aforementioned example
>And why doesn't it work when I try it myself. What's the secret?
now, why that tactics is tricky and not that good as one may think. the smoke comes in ~0.5km puffs and also it's obviously stays where you, ughm, ejaculated it. what follows from that? when you want to smoke fire you have to either dead stop or to move very slowly not to run from your smoke and also should pay attention not to leave your current smoke puff. well, you actually can move directly from the enemy leaving the smoke cloud behind you and the enemy, still should be careful about the size of those smoke puffs, so it's like you can use only your bow guns and not for that long anyway.
so, during a session of smoke shooting you almost always make your dd a sitting duck. you are prone to being torped, a lot of people love to see the shell traces and then to launch a torp wall there and that wall is very hard to avoid from dead stop. then, when the smoke ends you will be relatively near the enemy, quite possibly being seen by them especially if you just shot at them, and possibly even still with a stopped engine, this whole smoke shooting thing may end as a deadly trap for your dd; also people can return gun fire too since they see your traces, albeit torping smoke is much more effective
as for what you usually shouldn't do against a dd in smoke, it's you shouldn't come close
you are just risking to be torped, you put that dd in the position of a cornered rat and bet your ship on it, dd sees that since you approach they likely cannot freely leave the smoke and so they can try to stay there till you are very close and to torp you dead
awww yeeee
obviously I'm not going to use my free xp as I'm keeping Nagato as a trophy ship, but it feels great being able to click the button.

>will radar work differently from Sonar
4-6 minutes cd depending if it's free or premium consumable, works for like 20-40 sec (apparently depending on the ship?), detect ships through smoke and even though islands (lol, i hope they fix it since it's retarded) at ~10km distance for those 20-40 sec
apparently only some t8+ cruisers can pack it instead of their catapult fighter
thinking of it, a spotting fighter which sits in the sky for 6 minutes with 2-3 minute cd may be more annoying for dd than a 35 sec radar with 4-6 min cd
all the stats are a subject of a possible change
unlike sonar or a spotting aircraft it cannot detect torps
p.s. iirc german sonar works on ~5km distance so you misused your sonar if you couldn't see a ship in smoke till 3 km range; 3km it's the distance of automatic acquisition if you have the acquisition module, otherwise it's 2; non german sonar is... i dunno, 3.5 km ot so, or 4
