>Implying the dance is not in Inazuma's honour!
Does WoWs have locational damage? Am I supposed to be targeting specific parts of the ships?
Meanwhile in SO I just took out the Mutsuki for the first time after ignoring DDs for 4 tiers.
5 kills, survived the battle, struck the killing blow on a BB to end the game. Only after the game was over did I realized she didn't even have commanders.
I know it was lucky but damn, girl.
>>123523343
With HE shells, just target wherever. With AP shells, try to hit their sides at a 90 degree angle and aim for the areas under turrets and smokestacks near the waterline. Those will net you citadel penetrations that do massive damage. Though destroyers don't have citadels, so always HE them. And obviously that means you should try your best to never fully expose your own citadel. A typical strategy is to angle in a way that you can sway your ass and bring all guns to bear to fire then tuck it back in to hide while you're reloading.
>>123518730
Jesus at this rate you SOfags should just get your own general.
>>123523779
>sway your ass and bring all guns to bear to fire then tuck it back in to hide while you're reloading
What this anon forgot to mention, is that by following this strategy, you will either be closing on the enemy, or retreating from him. This will either draw you closer, and make you easier to hit (at the same time as pulling away from your backup, if theyve decided not to help you), or draw you away, and limit the time you have to shoot at your target, especially if your reload is slow.
In order to change course, you will have to broadside at some point - so time your enemies reloads, so they coincide with his optimum chance at hitting your citadel.
Or use cover when changing course.
In all cases, vary your speed, keep an eye on your allies, and constantly be aware of any terrain to use to your advantage
So far, I have played about a dozen games with the Warspite, and I haven't lost once.
Is this bote suppose to be the harbinger of doom?

>>123523343
Well in a DD duel you can target their steerage/screws in theory if you're at close enough range. But at that range you should be more concerned with torps anyway.

Actually, I did it for that too. How does one get the Thanksgiving bonus?
>>123527234
Well at two and a half times the size.. One would expect the larger one to look prettier than the smaller..(Unless it is C.O.D. in which case it'd be anybodies guess.)
And graphics can of course be improved upon (HD texture packs such as the ones in tank games(WT,WoT,AW))

>>123528320
yes
>>123528134
The base game for SO has crappy graphics but meatier content.
It can improve its graphics to look like WoWs.
WoWs on the other hand has much more dumbed down reliable gameplay thats easier to get into while looking much prettier.
SO needs to stop running like shit at high settings, then we can talk about graphics. Like in ultra mode it's not even that ugly, it's just that you'll be running at silky smooth 15 fps.
>>123528773
The ships also feel much better.
Granted controls can be improved and physics can be added to SO, the question is will the chinks do it. The graphics aren't the issue as much as the controls and feel of the game, and those are the points really holding SO back.
How do I get the new russian battleship? I see a lot of North american server people using it

>>123528963
check the premium store
>>123529004
>check the premium store
fuck that jew noise
>>123528943
Nah fuck off. The only thing that seems kind of wonky in SO is momentum and that's because wows makes everything weight a million tons to make up for their teeny tiny baby toy ships.
>>123528943
Well that's the problem.
SO is a much faster game. With games rarely lasting beyond 10 minutes.
If you overall decrease the speed botes go, this just makes it easier for CVs to dominate and slows down the game entirely.
Coupled with the spotting ranges in SO, if every bote was slow then they would have to rework every single spotting mechanic in game ontop of reworking the maps.
Also on top of all this, the scale much different compared to WoWs, so it throws off many people. Coupled with to scale ship sizes will throw you for a loop. You then realize that some ships are really slow in comparison when your BB for example gets outplayed by a DD in CQC.
At higher tiers the game slows down a bit because you have to think about your actions but its not all complete run and gun. You die quickly that way.
>>123528320
It's alright if you want skirmishes in that channel
Massing your team over it is a disaster
>The christmas contest is a free Mikasa if you make and MAIL a physical tree ornament to wargaming
AHAHAAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAAHHAHDAHASHDHADAIBLEBFRFLBFVWL
>>123529127
It's almost like the ships in WoWS actually handle like actual warships that weigh tens of thousands of tons
>>123529316
Not talking about decreasing speed, just making ships overall slower to respond based on weight and engine power.
>>123529885
>Slavs are so jewish they won't buy their own tree ornaments.
>>123529885
>physically mailing something to Russia
yeah no
>>123529885
If I mail them a gingerbread stalin will I get a year of premium?
>>123530027
Again, Steel Ocean is a faster paced game. Ships are slower to respond based on their size. With DDs and subs being the most responsive. You learn the differences when you play them in game.
CVs and BBs handle like cement trucks compared to cruisers which handle like pick up trucks.
DDs are motorcross bikes and subs are 4 wheelers.
You learn this when you play the game and get used to it.
Yeah I want my botes to have slower start and stop times so it makes my life as a CV captain easier.
At the same time it would just make CVs in SO even stronger.
>>123529929
It's almost like WoWS makes a cartoony mockery out of ships' power and sizes so you feel like you are getting 'stronger' as you go up the tech tree.
>>123530396
and SO doesn't? the 127mm secondaries at tier 10 do more damage than the 305mm guns at tier 2
if anybody is starting SO, feel free to whisperShootMeDead
And we can wreak havoc upon low tiers!
>>123530637

doesn't matter, a 305mm gun should do more damage than a 127, no matter what
T5/T6 division starting in Steel Ocean.
In WoWs, is there any reason at all to take the shitty aircraft setups on the Indy? I feel like strike loadout, like on the Bogue is retarded like what carrier sends out attack groups with no fighter cover? It's stupid as hell. I think the last time it was tried was a ton of B-52s and people buying into the hype thinking they didn't need escort, then something like 10% of them made it back.
So strike is worthless because it's so easy to get completely shut down by fighters. Then Anti Air loadout is too much escort for weak attackers being 1 bomber group. You're not capable of helping your team even if your clear the sky.
So I always take balanced group which Bogue didn't really have.
Am I doing this right? Am I missing something?

If you liked a rapidly dwindling population, a CV population on life support, BBs and DDs being even more prevalent, then this game is for you!
>>123534243Anon, i was grinding Krauts boats
>>123534243

>>123533350
>>123534243
I don't get why people are shitting on CVs, it's still a fun and useful class to play.
>>123534243
>CV population on life support
Compared to WoWs, the gameplay on SO falls behind spectacularly. For example, the speed of the boats in the two games is more or less the same, however, the size of the maps are very different, which leads to it being more of a speed game rather than a strategy game like it should be. Or at least, like it tried to copy from WoWs.
>>123535620
It didn't copy WoWs anon.
It was out in China before WoWs even was in alpha. This game has been out for over a year.
Its WoT on water with Battlestations Pacific mixed in.

Do your ships get experience boosts on some sort of timer? Just started played WoWs a couple days ago, and I've noticed that usually the first time I sign on in a day my ships have an experience multiplier that goes away after a while, but the multiplier is back the next day.

Shootmedead and Armyguy, thanks for the games in SO.
An absolutely outstanding 100 percent winrate while we div'd together.
I just had an epiphany.
Can BBs shave their reload time with the armament switch time CO skill?
>>123544152
No? Maybe?
Like switching from one shell type, then back real quickly?
You should test it out. :^)
>>123544152
As in instead of waiting 30 seconds to reload, you switch immediately after firing to shave it instantly to 21?
destroyers are pretty fun to play
>stay outside of spotting range
>launch torpedoes
>receive kills with zero risk
does this keep going to tier 10?
>>123544685
You can't stay outside of detection range forever. People learn to turn before your torps even reach them.
Well, smart people anyway. And those are the ones you need to take down but can't. Killing retarded BBs wouldn't do your team much good.
>>123544685
Only in low tiers where everyone moves in straight lines.
And you can't stay undetected forever, gunboats and cruisers can hunt you down.
>>123544798
>Killing retarded BBs wouldn't do your team much good.
Sure it does. In domination the enemy team loses points and also your team is forced to fire on more important targets since the easy ones are dead.
Do the destroyers not get good until later on, or am I just shit? I can't do anything with this Watakate.
>>123544421
>>123544271
>>123544152
The skill supposedly only triggers when your shell is already loaded and you switch. I'm not sure if this includes queuing a shell type change and firing, but I doubt it.
>>123544421
Has anyone actually tried this before?
>>123545178
Until the Mutsuki, ijn DDs play pretty similarly, get the situation awareness Captain skill and find out generally at what range you might get detected, generally 6km in your case, your torps have 7, try to abuse that.
>>123545178
Tiers 3-5 are the golden period for japanese DD's. Shit becomes painful at 6.
Target battleships, only try to torp cruisers if there are no battleships in range. Try to torp from outside detection range so you don't clue anyone in that you're there. This is the big point. Any cruiser or battleship with half a brain automatically goes full stop and hard rudder the instant a DD is spotted.
Torpedoes are basically retard removal, and Japanese destroyer playstyle is completely different to every other ship.
>>123545178
Depends what style of DD you actually like, Jap ones are pure torpedo sluts, slavs are gunbotes, never played the US one but I think it's the middle ground.
dead game
>>123544685
No.
as you get higher in tiers you get worse while the enemy gets better.
most of your torpedoes will be in the 7-9 max range with 50-68kts. The best torpedoes in the game only have 67kts with a range of 20km, but your enemy has 11.28 seconds to react.
at 2.10km.
11.28 seconds to impact at 2.10km. If they move even slightly to the left or right or slightly slow down before that, they won't come close.
>>123548286
Don't forget that it takes ~27s for the 67kn torps to reach 5km.
This thing is a fucking beast, I love it. Every hit is a citadel.

What.
>>123548737
You can still havefunin jap DD's as long as you play your own game and stop caring about your winrate. Even when you torp 5 battleships and deal more damage than the rest of your team combined you cannot carry them when it really matters and shitters will steal carry you into losses through no fault of your own.
Playing jap DD's past tier 5 are like this
When things work out, they work out well, but when things don't work out for you big guys crash the bote with no survivors.

The second I played a CV in 0.4.0.1 I knew it would go the way of the arty in WoT with "rebalances".
All these WG fuckers need to do is to change the manual drop mechanics, so that CVnts cant drop torps 500m from you from both sides.
>>123550242
whats it like being full of shit
>>123550242
Aside from manual drop mechanics they need to revamp carriers entirely, down to the useless flight control choices and NATIONAL PECULIARITIES. They can't bandaid CV's, they have to rebuild them from the ground up.

I'm really liking being a napalm hose as Kyma right now but I noticed from Furutaka onwards they're all heavy cruisers with slower rate of fire, is there a drastic difference in playstyle?
Incidentally should I switch to Nazi botes if I want to keep the CL playstyle?
>>123554685
Mogami starts as a light cruiser again and can be upgraded to a heavy cruiser.
Japanese cruisers have amazing HE because #remembertsushima
I've one-shot destroyers in my myoko with a full salvo. The Furutaka has a bit of a learning curve but the Aoba kind of feels like a middle point between light and heavy.
>>123554685
I'm at Myoko and the playstyle is similar to Furutaka aka your guns cant keep up with any fast turns.
Dont get me wrong, they're all great (maybe except the taco) and I've had some of my best games in the Aoba.
The american cruisers at tier 4 - 6 are great CL's, cant talk about later tiers because I have no experience with them.
The german tier 4 sucks donkeyballs, but after that you get a 16.5 km range with a reload around 6 seconds. Shame that their HE shells suck for some reason.
>>123555136
>Shame that their HE shells suck for some reason.
They make up for it for having great AP though.
With as shit as the Karl is, it can still pump out respectable damage with its AP. Its just not enough to keep it alive, or make it bearable
>>123555242
they should just switch the tier 4 with the tier 3, problem solved

>>123555659
please consider killing yourself
>>123555136
I like it when the ship is responsive aka good maneuverability and turret turning. I figure if I used the Furutaka and above I wouldn't be able to efficiently use the turret traverse Captain skill. Hence why I was thinking of the Nazi cruisers since they have fucktons of spammy under 15cm turrets.
>>123555242
So I would basically have to use AP on everything but DDs?
>>123555740
no my friend, you need to fuck off because you're a shitter
>>123555849
>ship is responsive aka good maneuverability and turret turning

Maybe you should stop shittalking all the time, Goldberg.
Why is Mutsuki such an enormous steaming turd?
Minekaze was a floating genocide, but Mutsuki struggles to maintain a 1-1 K/D ratio. Is it the shitty torpedo speed? Is it the fact she only fires once a minute? Is it her shitty handling and inadequate armament?
3x2 is FAR better than 2x3.

The only problem I see with higher tier IJN DDs is the hidden stat that lets torps be detected from farther away. But even then, if a BB see's them coming, I can still land 2+ on one using my Fubuki if I lead them properly.
>>123578906
>Unreliable in what way? What does the Shimakaze do better than the others besides have a lot more torps?
Exactly, Shimakaze is a 41kn ship with 3x5 fast long range high alpha torps.
All tier6-9 IJN DDs have less, slower, lower range torps and since mid/high tier torpedo boats playstyle is based on luck mostly Shimakaze has more chance to do something than a top tier Hastu, Kagero and Fubuki

>Last month, series publisher Sega filed trademarks in both Japanese and English for Valkyria: Azure Revolution. No further details were disclosed then, other than the fact that the trademark referred to a video game.
People who said the Myoko is good must only have the luck use it in very specific situations.
Otherwise it's mediocre at best.
You cannot use anything but your front two guns less you want to expose your side to bring your other guns, and torps, to bear. And good luck with that. Swing the ship around to broadside and you're going to be lit ablaze by HE or destroyed by AP citadel hits.
It's like the Aoba before it, but with the fatal mistake of making you think you can do more with your increased weaponry. And then when you fall for that trap you pay for it.

It looks disappointing so far. Looks and feels more like a Tales-of-X game than Valkyria chronicles. I mean, it might sell more if it tries to be more like any other run-of-the-mill JRPG, but it sure as hell lost my interest in the franchise.
A shame, since it's one of the best recent entirely-new franchises. It was truly painful to see it being underused, mishandled and mismanaged.

because WG decided to make her stock shit.
6.6km detect with 6km torpedoes.. so that you get a taste of what it was like to play american DD's... except your guns traverse is so slow it'd make some BB's grimace. You have 1 AA now apparently with two guns that have .9km range to AA-meme those planes that almost crash into you! (CBT wasn't that low)
Once she gets her 10km torpedoes/2nd-hull she isn't that bad as long as nothing major has changed since CBT.
Now based on CBT, normally I would say get the -Detonation chance module, and +AA damage/range and become an AA boat in your spare time in that window of experience between between hull 2, and not-shit-torps.(Which is now fucking 4k?!)
However: CV's seem to be more rare (And XP gains lowered, costs raised.) so perhaps ^ doesn't work anymore? I am not quite to my own Mut's 2nd hull to properly test.
Island camp, or play like a shitty gunboat beside your allies I guess?
>>123544685
yes, it's how ijn dd play till t10
>>123590207
>>Once she gets her 10km torpedoes/2nd-hull she isn't that bad as long as nothing major has changed since CBT
m8, it takes a full minute for the torpedoes to hit at max range. It's virtually impossible that someone won't have turned in that time.
>>123591648
the point is the 10km torps have the option to kill people from outside your detection range..
I hated the 7km's on minekaze (Compared to 10km CBT) because I couldn't provide the same area denial/support, or attack targets moving away from me without getting dangerously close to being seen. I played like a spotter who happened to have high powered relatively inaccurate nukes. I was there to shepherd the enemy into traps, force broadsides to be exposed, keep the enemy lit for my allies to murder them, AND occasionally get a hit (With Minekaze having 3 sets, steering the enemy fleet wasn't too difficult, Mut with two.. is very tricky.)
The Mutsuki with 6km torps means you have been seen for .6km if they are traveling side-ways, have to be closer than 5km(speculating, could be higher/lower) to hit if they are running from you, and can only fire 'safely' if they are heading right towards you (which leaves a tiny ship profile to attempt to torp/aim-at)
10km's mean you have wiggle room without being nuked. (Also minekaze and mutsuki in CBT had 5.8km detect, so the Mut was at least invisible for .2km of your torp range.)
Basically if the xp gain mechanics from Steel Ocean, or World of Tanks were in WoWS, IJN DD would have a much easier time.
(Light up targets for the entire match with little to fear from anything except other Minekaze/Muts/Iso's.. or planes, which are/were easier to dodge than people think.)screenshot included to provide example of SO's xp gain options, and my Minekaze CBT stats to show I'm not 100% talkin out my ass.)
>>123575164
Triple launchers have the same spread as quads and quints. The slow torps, bad reload, and poor gun-fighting ability dont help but the real problem is just how much space triple launchers provide beyond 7km.
How do I win in Steel Ocean? I'm around 55% in WoWS but I couldn't manage to carry in the chink game if my life depended on it.
Its finally over.
>>123599937
that looks like you didn't do too badly.
Ensuring low hitpoints people are nuked to stop them from shooting your allies.
Looks more like your team might have just attempted to zerg, and just effectively 'funneled' to their deaths one or two at a time. (or, the enemy advanced and created an effective wall. 'camping' your spawn.)
>>123601384

>>123590207

also it's just tier 6, it's not hard to upgrade her torpedoes playing pve or with the free exp

Myoko's strength is in her AA and torps. Her guns are, as you pointed out, actually worse than Aoba, because #3 turret is utterly useless and her reload is actually slower. Aoba is a more fun ship to play offensively, but Myoko really needs a BB to escort IMO. Her AA is - astonishingly - even better than her American counterpart at the same tier.
I'm on Myoko now and I agree with you on most all counts. All she can really do is protect bigger ships from air units and HE spam BBs if you correctly time broadsides with enemy reloads. In a straight gunnery duel with basically any other cruiser, she's SOL.
For also those reasons I also rebought Aoba for fun / matchmaking, just because her performance is so consistent
For those times you absolutely have to kill absolutely everyone, there's always Nagato.inb4 killsteal
>>123604561It's not wrong.Actually, it's the only right thing to do.
>>123604983
Myoko can actually put a lot of shells on target, you just have to turn away from the enemy, so that your retardedly placed #3 turret can work.
Get the rudder shift time upgrade, and keep waggling your ass, you can actually zig-zag between salvos.
As you say, the best place to be is supporting a BB.
But do not underestimate your gun power, you just have to be careful about it.

What are the best mods for Myoko? I'm thinking Main Battery mod 1, AA Guns mod 2, Propulsion mod 1, and obviously Steering Gears mod 2. Is that about right?
Captain skills would also be nice to go over, just to be sure.
>>123611080
Well, here's my captain skills for the guy I've been using since Furutaka:
>the tier 1 damage control skill
>the turret rotation skill
>the tier 3 damage control skill (gained before the AA barrage became a limited consumable)
>the 20% range on AA and guns under 155mm skill
Looking back, I'm thinking that the tier 3 superintendent skill might have been a better choice, but I'm not sure if I want to go beyond Mogami or not. I plan to get the tier 5 visibility decrease skill next, I've got two points left to gain.
>>123610226
play a match(or matches) with an elite ship, any tier. 300-400 ish,
(Look at events list button.)
Will also be getting some from the thanksgiving event in the next day or so.
The daily events:
Nuke 3 Americans for 50% of the cost of a new commander.
And
Win two matches with a T3 or higher elite (fully upgraded) ship for 50,000 silver
Are quite nice.
Along with the daily injection of 2k+ free xp for ranking between 1st and 3,000th place for kills.
Weekly/monthly events:
15 wins in a week for 3 commanders.
100g and a day of premium for signing in two days in a row.
Sign in 20 days in a month and get a pretty good commander (rotates each month.)

>superintendent on a CA captain
I don't see the point. I'm never attacked by aircraft often enough to need more than three AA charges, and I never get my fighter destroyed more than once.
In BB it's nice because in a long game it's basically free health and in a DD I consider it absolutely mandatory
>>123611647
Unless the port display is wrong, Myoko only gets 2 charges of Defensive AA Fire

>>the 20% range on AA and guns under 155mm skill
Fair enough, but +fire chance is great on Aoba, since it pushes her to a 20% chance of starting a fire with HE

Too long. Nobody cares.
Post yfw you die 5 minutes in for trying to push a flank and force it to crumble because the top tier battleshhip with you turned around to snipe and ended the game doing less than you.
It just a good, solid ship.
