Shimakaze wasn't OP, you're all just shitters who can't dodge
Anumati: It seems reports of my banning have been greatly exaggerated.
Tsunanon: This isn't possible...
Anumati: Oh I assure you, it is.
Tsunanon: How?
Anumati: Not how. Why? You were never meant to autism this hard.
Tsunanon: What happened here was out of our control...
Anumati: Was it? None of this would've happened if you had just stopped. But you posted on. And for what?
Tsunanon: We tried to save /wowsg/.
Anumati: You're no saviors. Your talents lie elsewhere.
Tsunanon: This isn't our fault.
Anumati: It takes a strong group of autists to deny what's right in front of them. And if the truth is undeniable, they create their own. The truth, Tsunanon, is that you're all here because you wanted to feel like something you're not: Heroes. We're here because you can't accept what you've done. It broke you. You needed someone to blame, so you cast it on me. A random namefag. I know the truth is hard to hear, but it's time. You're all that's left and we can't live this lie forever. I'm going to count to five, then I'm pulling the trigger.
Tsunanon: You're not real, this is all in our heads.
Anumati: Are you sure? Maybe its in mine? One.
Tsunanon: No... everything, all of this, it was all your fault!
Anumati: If that's what you believe then shoot me. Two.
Tsunanon: W-we didn't mean to hurt anybody...
Anumati: No one ever does, anon. Three.
Anumati: Four. Is this what you really want? Five!

Do cruisers ever get better after the aoba? It feels like they're about the same except enemy BB are more likely to delete you
>>140778145
battlecruiser myoko is one of my favorite boats
>>140778145
Aoba is about the sweetspot of the line. After that it's all sameface, with an increasingly hostile environment for cruisers.
>>140778145
The Myoko is so much better then the Aoba. The two additional turrets and armor make a world of difference. The rest of the line is pretty much the same ship with armor added on (besides the mogami 155 meme). The Zao is equipped with a cloaking field, and the flat shell trajectory lets you rek DDs and CAs (Even BBs at close range).

>>140782532
Any ship can be good if you know how to use her. People use to shit on Atlanta all the time, some still do, but I always top charts and get loads of damage and kills in Atlanta. Just depends how you play, well or like shit.
>>140782435
Literally any ship can do that. Hipper AP is a goddamn meme. I still delete hippers in one salvo in an NO, and I do it in my Atagoy too. I don't have to angle sideways to shoot off more than 4 shells and my HE is always better.
Hipper being good is a goddamn meme.
>>140783496
the "German AP is good" meme needs to die
Once the enemy angles even by a couple degrees it loses all penetration power
>>140780140
>wowsg told that german T5 is worth

I love this boat and with Prinz as my fregattenkapitän I can't go wrong.
>>140782435
>check two week stats
>Hipper worst T8 cruiser in NA/EU
>barely any better than Mogami and NO
>le Hipper is good meme
>>140782784
>Look at my really cool anecdotal BULLSHIT
There's entire websites dedicated to tracking these numbers.. The top players in Atlanta are only putting out 53k average. Meanwhile even the top Pensa is putting out 62, and never mind the fucking Myoko with its top player averaging 72k.
Then there's the matter of the overall average for the Atlanta and, as you'd expect, its rock fucking bottom in the tier at 22k, meanwhile Myoko and for some reason Shchors are at 35k and 40k respectively.
tl;dr Atlanta's best day is still a mediocre day for literally any other ship in the tier. It's shit.
>>140783775
Konigsburg is the high point of the line.
Tbh both of the newer cruiser lines have great T5s.
>>140783905
Websites tracking these numbers also say Hipper is shit.
>see a new player going down the German cruiser line
>don't have the heart to tell him it's shit and hope he just has fun
most of them will ragequit at nurnberg as they get blown up in one shot, the special few who make it to York will probably quit there
the special ones who get to hipper and realize how goddamn mediocre it is will probably just quit
German cruisers, not even once
Hipper needs buffs badly
>repeatedly nerf the shit out the Mogami to try to kill it off completely
>bring out the russian cruisers which basically do the same thing anyway
good to see WG hasn't changed much with their switch from land to sea.
>>140784074
And they're not wrong about it, but Atlanta is an especially shit case.
ATLANTA BUFFS FUCKING WHEN WARGAMING THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE FOR SOMETHING THAT COSTS 40 FUCKING DOLLARS
>>140784220
The german line has never been anything but mediocre. Ever since radar, even the Dank Meme is pulling in much better performances than it used to. The Hindenburg is now the worst TX cruiser across all servers.
>>140779602
>The Zao is equipped with a cloaking field
Ibuki actually has better firing range and better concealment than Zao, but the decrease in invisifire buffer is more than made up for by Zao's flamethrower railguns.
>>140780140
Unless Chappy is complete shit, Hipper is pretty damn disappointing.
Hipster is SHIT, HE is worse than yorcks and can't turn for shit. Also I somehow pulled better stats in koingsburg but lower wtr lmao.
>>140784220
>>140784670
>>140784694
fuck, and I just wanted to keep goin down the kraut line. I suffered alot with Karlsruhe doing no damage whatsoever but still made it so I think am gonna see it for myself. It's either hipper or Zao.
>>140784694
Chapayev is pretty good.
Better than the Hipper definitely.
such a flat belly~pls no bully about damage
>>140785010
Nothing is as bad as the Karl. The konisberg is the highlight of the line and a really damn good ship
Nurnberg is more of the same, just with a faster RoF. The downside to the nurnberf is it sits super high in the water so a BB farting in your general direction will blow you out of the water
Yorck is..okay. It's not bad, just mediocre
Hipper is also mediocre
Roon is actually pretty damn good
Hindenburg isn't bad either, it's just not as competitive
If you actually like the ships then continue down the line but be warned it's pretty "meh"
Hipper is still better than New Orleans imo
>>140785010
I mean, I don't do terribly in her according to the numbers, but playing her just feels frustrating.
>can't turn worth a shit for cruiser standards - you will eat many torps
>AP will bounce against any angled target
>AP somehow manages to not penetrate squishy BB superstructures - enjoy your 4 hit salvos for 0 damage
>HE is okay but a downgrade from Yorck's
You can make her work, but it just feels kinda disappointing.
Real talk: If Prinz Eugen wasn't such a qt in that other bote game, no one would like Hipper in WoWS.
>>140784694
>Chappy
>excellent range
>great accurate guns
>good rof
>good HE
The people spouting the RU cruisers are bad meme are probably the same shitters saying german CAs are good. I'm up to the chappy and asides from the pre-buff svietlana, it's a pretty good line. ABY turret layouts on Kirov and Buddy is a goddamn blessing, and the armor was never really an issue.

>>140787203
>2.1 ships killed per game and 53k damage per game
Tenryu ain't kowai of any St. Cuck.
>>140785671
Honestly, it's probably because of how incredibly fragile they are, and Kirov was the breaking point. Lots of people (including myself) were incredibly frustrated by Kirov's fuckhuge size, paper armor, nonexistent concealment and abysmal maneuverabiilty (for a cruiser). It's a ship that is literally all gun. And good guns won't do you any good if you can't fire them because you're dead. The ABY turret arrangement feels wasted on a ship that you're going to try to keep at max range all the time.
The Buddy is a nicer experience so far, so I'll withhold judgment on the entire line until I get further in.

kind of
that kongo went to the other flank from the main battle, there was an enemy cruiser solo pushing there but i guess kongo landed very few shots at her before she was sunk by other ships (probably by new york) and then basically stayed there with no action, pushed north too late when i already killed their cv (btw it was amusing how our saipan swept several tb and db squads heading to me with strafe in very few seconds) and so there weren't anybody there

German AP should be buffed so that it bounces less from 30°< angles across the whole tech tree.
The problem is that WG has nerfed german HE to a embarassing level (IRL german HE was as good if not better than its counterparts)0 to justify that AP alpha, but whenever a cruiser shows it's broadside from close range any AP will do.
Hell, i've been having better results with Aoba AP sometimes.
You can still do good with german ships as they are not so bad as german tanks were in WoT at the beginning, but you have to be much more careful and you're certainly disadvantaged.
As for Hipper, from 10km range you can deal up to 7000 dmg in a salvo when shooting BB broadside, superstructure and that's not counting citadels.
To be honest i dont feel very disadvantaged against other T8 cruisers in my Hipper, but i do fear more BBs because im a huge target and i wish i had HEs that would do something to lit them on fire.
My advice is to always shoot targets showing their broadside, your cannon range should grant that at least one target is showing it's side to you at any given time.
>>140806124
I bet all of you dominated the match and Americans bitched and moaned about a "fail div".
>>140806197

Premium user?
Also, my average damage with Konig and Nurn is lower (still above average) because they were among my first line when i started playing.
The last matches i've done with Konig, i can see how much better she performs in its tier than Hipper in hers, though Hipper is just slighty below average, not the turd some people seem to describe her.

>>140808072
Give it better HE or something. Having better AP as a national pecularity on a cruiser does jackshit because AP will still bounce on anything angled and APing broadsides is something any one can do. The Kberg works because low tier maps are small enough for you to get in close to pump AP shells at anything broadside.
After radar implementation it seems high tier USN are DD hunters, IJN has better HE and fire rate, and RU seems to have superior range and fire rate. burger CAs seem to have improved performanves after the patch so I'd say they're all niches that have some use.
My Kirov!;_;These new death animations are really cool.
>>140810062
>burger CAs seem to have improved performanves after the patch
that's imo a case of an incorrect interpretation of the statistics
if you check the stats, literally every burger cruiser from chester and to baltimore improved her stats disregard that only t8-t10 got radar... also t10 didn't improve her stats significantly
now, if we remember the track to des moines mission and the influx of good players into the burger cruisers... i guess you see what was the reason why they got a jump in performance
>>140810259
showing your keel it's if you were hit with torps? dying to shells looks boring
What's the point of cruisers if destroyers does everything they do except better?
>>140810878
You get more AA than DDs.

It's so genius.

Come on, Wargaming. Either fix the AA, or make the UI scale properly. Why is this acceptable?
In a real 2016-era game, like Dark Souls III, the text and UI become larger when you increase the resolution.
>>140811481

What the fuck are you even going on about, not everyone is in NA. The Dank Meme has its highest improvement in Asia, where they didn't have to bribe players to grind up the line.
I have no idea why NA is ironically the region where its players are so against the idea of a USN line being good.
>>140811481
EU got free XP discounts on St. Patrick's Day.
NA will be getting free XP discounts on May 6-13.
When will ASIA get free XP discounts? I've been waiting for this.
I just want German BBs or Royal Navy already. Ships people actually are interested in instead of more Russian paper bullshit.
>>140812030
I thought the very last batch of fake paper Russian ships were released, meaning that there's no more?
SURELY there won't be a full line of bullshit aircraft carriers?
>when the premium handout runs out
>>140811974
when the whole line has a significant increase in winrate including the ships which weren't buffed at all and at the same time there is a long lasting event to grind that line you cannot attribute the winrate increase to them receiving radar
>>140812030
to be fair the german bb will be ~the same paper bs as ru cruisers
now, royal navy would be great
>>140812129
I honestly wouldn't mind Russian BBs, or Spaghetti BBs, literally any kind of battleship line. If we get a 5th cruiser line (the Brits) before a 3rd battleship line I'm gonna fucking lose my mind
>>140811636
>Amount of doubloons went down
fess up, what did you waste them on?
>>140812309
the german bb are confirmed in august
they wont be earlier than august
now if we get the royal navy cruisers before that it would be great
>>140812218
>Dank Meme jumped from sub-50 48% to 52-54
>has been consistently keeping this avg wr
>literally the only change was radar
clearly not significant amirite
T b h I kind of wish burgers stuck to the 21kts doctrine so we could have a whole line of lumbering, undedable gunpiles all the way to tier X.
>>140812425
Nah, they pretty much said nothing will happen between RU Cruisers and KSM BBs except some premium ships and reskins over summer. So enjoy that.
Royal Navy will be here in 2017 after that who knows. I would like German DDs to finish off the German tree but it'll probably be Russian Battleships. I don't see them doing another CV line until they fix USN and IJN and figure out what they're doing which seems unlikely. Not to mention few nations even had CVs.
>>140812430
except she didn't
when i checked it like a week ago she was around her overall stats slightly more than 50%, right now she got +1% or so
i wish warships today gave 30 day data too
Best 4pt skill for Fletcher?
I got bored with AFT because i can't hit shit. Prefer to shoot from 10.5-11km anyway.
So Demolition expert or manual fire control for AA?
How effective is an AA spec fletcher at dealing with skycancer?
>>140812425
We're suppose to be getting a French ship or two and maybe an Italian ship.
Here's hoping for Richelieu.

>>140812823

>>140811974
I'd play USN ships if they didn't have garbage ballistics
Of course good ballistics are reserved only for Russians)))))))
>>140812953
Russia happened.
>>140812947
I'd rather have the extra fire chance if anything, but wondered if man AA could be worth it. It's 70dps extra - is that worth anything in the grand scheme of things?

She was sub 50 pre-radar and sitting around a decent 52 now. Like I said, I have no idea why USN ships perform worst in NA.
>>140813075
You're a Fletcher, you're not hitting anything smaller than a BB at range with your arcs. DPS is moot, get survivability.
>>140813580
her overall stats are 50.4 how she was sub 50 pre radar again
how autistic am i for using this crosshair?
>>140813580
Because NA a shit. Refugees can beat them, average player on Asia has higher wr etc.
>>140813471
>>140813596
jeez, fine. I run DE on my farragut and it fucking wrecks, I wanted to be a smokeslut firestarter with the fletch as well but have got jumped on last few games by CVs so was wondering if there was an AA trap squadron muncher build i could try.
I'm about to angrily shill UI scaling to Wargaming. Wish me luck, anons.
While you're all here though, any bargaining tips and persuasion suggestions? Without telling lies to them, of course.
>>140813823
The crosshair has nothing to do with it desu, you're a natural autist.

baka desu senpai
>>140814163
I just tend to win the engagements vs DDs regardless desu, getting spotted out by aircraft and gangbanged at long range.
>>140813928
Radar is at those tiers, you're not a smokeslut anymore.
>>140814483
Post survivability stats then.
prove it's your own too, not taken from some top-ranking player from some stat-tracking website :^)

fight me faggot you should win any engagement vs any DD under 7kms and after you cuck the DDs you should try and start fires
>>140814616
Radar CAs I deal with by avoidance, there's usually only 1 or 2 in a match.
>>140814668
I only have 4 games in the fletcher so far so it's not exactly representative, but i'm pretty happy with my Farragut.
>>140815250
>Ask our advice
>Don't take it
Then don't bother asking
>>140806851
For comparison, these are my solo numbers. I need to fix my Hipper play.
What's your ammo choice? I got burned on every tier by the German AP meme, so I decided to just play them like every other cruiser, i.e. HE spam. I also liked to do yolo torp runs against isolated BBs while waggling furiously. Those torp angles are sexy.
>>140815302
It's nice to have opinions desu.
I respecced for SE in the end anyway, will jump back if it ends up being mediocre
>>140813928
Are you stupid or what? Is this your first T9? Haven't you noticed that T10 is VERY different from T6?
You can't be a smokeslut at T9 because radar
You can't even be a firestarter because everything at T8-10 is less prone to getting set on fire.
You can't be the AA picket tincan, because AA is a meme. Even if you go full AA spec you won't be shooting down any meaningful amount of planes to save your ass from getting permaspotted. If you go barrage, you lose the important speedboost that is absolutely necessary to get out of radar range, contest caps and pursue other DDs. And even then, barrage on DD's is a meme.
And no, you're not winning the DD engagements against any decent player. Because is both players are competent and landing their shots, you'll run out of HP before the other guy, because the other guy was not stupid enough to think he was still playing T6.
But alright, go do whatever you want. Why even ask our opinion if you're already dead set on going DE?
>DDs that don't take SE
All the other classes only wish that they had a skill that would straight-up buff their survivability by like 20%.
>>140815837
At t6 or t7 US DDs with barrage can actually screw up a CV's strike.
Which is of course no longer true from t8 and up, as you said, but it's not surprising that so many people derp around at t8 or t9 where the meta shifts pretty radically.
>>140815837
Wow, who stepped on your balls?
In any case, I appreciate the input. I've gone SE to see how it goes.
>>140815405
>>140816652
FYI, Any T8/T9/T10 DDs without SE dies from a single torp from these tiers' DD torps. You will want SE and it's not even about getting gud.
>>140815250
You're dying way too much. Sure, you're doing some damage, but that is not translating into victories or more XP.
Your role as a USN DD is to hunt down DD's, take caps and stay alive. If there are DD's alive, you should be looking for them. Firing your guns upon cruisers and battleships is just distracting you from your objectives, and letting the enemy DD know where you are, so he can avoid you. Plus it also tells the enemy BB's where to expect/not expect torpedoes coming from.
So instead of trying to set some BB on fire with your <10% fire chance, launch torpedoes and go look for enemy DD's and caps to take/keep secure. If all DD's are dead, then you still want to keep your stealth game up. Torpedo BB's from spots they'd not expect. If you tickle them with your guns, you ruin the element of surprise and they have now one less thing to be worried about. Sure, sometimes it is useful to use your guns, but those times should be kept to a minimum side dish and when nothing else is possible.
And that thing about staying alive? That's so you can carry in late game. You become exponentially more important in late game. Outrunning enemies to cap, torping stuff desperatedly trying to seize points, terrorizing enemy ships with your mere presence and generally being an absolute cunt. Yes, that means giving up on suicidal torpedo runs.

If youre on EU im happy to help. Also heres a quick summary
>Manual drops and strafing are the single most important thing for CVs (ALT key on your keyboard, needs some practise)
>Hit them with DBs, wait for the repair, than hit them with TBs and watch them lose 50% of their health to flooding
>Never ever under any circumstances attack US CAs unless you absolutly have to (like, reseting the cap)
>Fighter setup is for faggots
>go for ships that are alone, AA fire from multiple ships will melt your planes very quickly
>most CVs dont pay attention to their planes once they dropped their load, so its easy strafing retreating bombers
>its worth sacrificing fighters or even dbs for a good bombing run
>Scouting DDs with fighters will help your team alot
>always keep the carrier moving, you can just lock the rudder and do circles, its alot better than standing still
>2 CVs per side usually means someones gonna get sniped.
>check the AA stats for each ship in the tech tree, nothing more embarrassing than a Hiryuu losing 50 planes going after a MK.
>sniping DDs takes some skill but its very rewarding since XP and credit rewards depend on % of damage done to ships
>Dont be afraid to sacrifice planes, t6+ cvs have enough of them anyway. Alot of people are way to conservative with their planes.
>tactical map mode (m button) is your friend.
