The truth isn't always nice anon.
>>127449241
Well in your mind are CV players cowards because they attack from long range with planes? Are BBs cowards because they shoot back and snipe?
What is this criteria of being a "coward?"
>>127449381
Shooting a poor Atlanta that's in a duel with two other Atlanta's in the back. That's low anon you got to admit.
>>127450492
I do that all the time in my Pensacola though.

Not sure how it'll work honestly as last time was the first Overlord Event.
But it certainly implied there would be more than 1 set of overlord ships.
Hopefully KTKM tonight.
So where am I supposed to hear the new BGM?
>>127458549
New BGM?
>cant play again cos ship is dead in another battle

>>127460159
Isn't there a BGM DLC besides the repulsive one?
>>127460492
Oh, in your steam library, select music instead of games.
>>127460469
that's why you play multiple ship lines, so you can get into battles while the last one winds down.
>get back to the game the first time since Christmas Eve
>remember that Hiyou is garbage
So, I have world of warships installed now, Tell me why i should delete it and play this instead.
>>127461882
Don't delete it, try SO and decide for yourself which you like more.
>>127461185
thats gay too
>>127462183
Seconded.
No reason to not have the option to play either/both!
Some prefer Steel Ocean, others prefer World of Warshits. To each their ownI personally hope SO takes off so as to continue to force WG to up their game.
it is only like 6 gigs to download, and you get a free T5 premium BB (link in OP) so no reason to not at least apply the BB to your account should you ever want an alternative to WG.
>>127462703
>World of WARSHIPS
Sorry, habit.

>spoilerI personally am waiting for Gaijew to step up their game.

>>127445668
>uk line is dd and cv only
why are my guns doing no damage?
other players literally hit me for 50% bar
>>127463696
At least there is UK line :^)
>>127463696
Much like Germany has Cruisers, BB's, and SS.
British were added about a month ago now.. in this game that has been on steam since November 12th.
And yet WG has the Warspite. One Soviet line and one German line. (DD and Cruiser, respectively.)
Nobody bats an eye.
JUSTICE NEVER!
>>127463434
Start up Steel Ocean, make your account name (Can contain spaces, and non english characters.) after that is over. EXIT the game.
Go to DLC page for repulse and launch from there. Claim via gift box bottom right.
Go to storage, non battle item, click the repulse and select "USE" (Sell gives 1 silver.)
Enjoy.
You then could sell it for a million credits from port.. but the Repulse makes bonus xp(quick training+ premium ship.) and credits (50-100k on a daily match.. 150-170k per overlord match.. that happens this evening 6pm-8pm pacific time.)
So I would not sell the golden goose.
>>127465221
And SO has the notEnterprise.
>>127464259
If you arent penetrating you'll do like 10 damage, this is usually the case if shooting at battleship as a non-battleship. If the other guy leads exceptionally well he can hit 6-7 shots out of 9 while you hit 1 out of 9. If the other guy is in atlanta and you're in a DD you've already lost
>>127465814
dunno im in a shitty tier 2 cl that does no damage and gets rekt by everything else
and wtf is with auto aim? like i cant even hit shit point blank without having to auto aim
>>127465946
>CL
hunt DDs, subs and other CLs, stay away from everything else unless you plan to throw torps at them (not recommended with germans)
>>127465946
I've played all CLs up to and including tier 6, and the only one worth using is Atlanta. I hear the german line leads to good things at max tier, but you're in for a world of pain before that.
>>127465814
what about shooting at dds? should i use he instead? right now im aping everything
>>127466631
I prefer AP
T2's in general suck across the board. T3's are when things get more enjoyable.

Here's your dank meme.
>>127467141
thank u for the meme :3
shoot is currently offline but knowing him he's watching the thread for dank memes to welcome
>>127466631
HE is a gamble, even against DDs it will sometimes fail to penetrate. I use it, depending on what ship I'm in and what my target is, but most people don't bother and I almost agree with them.
>>127467141
Welcome Aboard!
>>127467632
Got that right!
For the most part HE is pretty okay when your in a BB against anything non BB (or even against BB's if you're firing from longer range at a target heading right towards/away-from you to hope to impact their deck.)
Probably alright for CA's against DD's too.
But I tend to stick to AP for that guaranteed damage vs 'chance at higher, while having a chance at little-none on failed pens.'
>>127463596Yeah... I am hesitant to hold out hope for them after patch 1.29 of WT.. R.I.P. Rocket Planes!

>>127468604
you can even reliably pen the side of the enemy in atlanta vs atlanta duels, but again, while doing 240 instead of 180 is satisfying it is trumped by those times you do 10
how do i get more commanders?
>>127473056
Spending Merit in the shop (Shop, Commanders)
There is a daily 'kill 3 german ships' for 90 merit. 180 merit per commander roll.
Fleet Battles, and other events provide merit too. Look at 'Events' tab.
Also commanders for first T2 of each ship class. CL,DD,SS,BB,CV and again at T5.(If you got the repulse you have the T5 BB commander already.)
Merit is purely for commander rolls and has no other purpose.
>>127473056

Such a fun ship.

I was playing mostly one DD line and I already finished it like three weeks ago.
>>127482560

You might want to try sneaking (Info on it in the information album in OP)

>he doesnt have all slots filled with ships to do x2 first win on
what are u doing kouhai
>>127483349
whats your point faget?
>>127483472
you should have at least six different ships to get daily double xp on, meaning even if you're grinding your one main ship you can always hop onto one of those while waiting
>>127483747
>its ok just grind more ships to make up for grinding more than one ship
wut
>>127483932
but why would you miss the daily free xp
do you hate free things
>>127482560
remind me which games reward you for playing a single line, because I dont remember any
>>127483932
your main ship died in a match?
Jump into ship B for daily.
jump back into main ship.
Die.
jump into Ship C for daily. (Look at events by the way.. there are 'play elite ship tier 3+ two wins for 50k credits.)
Could someone with a four star look up how much it costs to upgrade to legendary?
>>127484259

Really? Same as upgrading from 3 to 4? Meaning 1 to 5 would cost 100 + 300 + 1000 + 1000 = 2400?

Best kind of armor.
So if you have not used the 'build' function in fleet yet (or for future thought.)
That stacks with the 10 wins a week .5x
So possibly an hour of 1.5x rewards from Overlord. (or more depending how they apply the buffs.)
And overlord was making 50-160k silver normally (depending on how well you did, if it was repulse.. Super KTKM made 165k one of the matches.)
Overlord starts in 5 minutes.
It is Super KTKM again!

"Because it is not a DD's job to carry!
If you want to carry, go Carrier or Battleship!"
Is WG's stance on the matter.
>>127511214
I still can't believe that is their stance on half the game's classes being support and not being able to carry.
So... apparently Replays are in fact a thing!

But had not flipped to switch to record KTKM madness!;_;
>>127511632
Yeah it is especially crazy since they do not have any actual xp gains for true support! (IE: Spotting xp at the very least.)
I LOVED WoWS CBT in the IJN Lines.. play as a stealth intel-relaying torp bote hardly ever actually firing guns.
Just keeping the enemy lit up, shepherding them into positions that would provide my side the advantage (Citpens for allies) If I landed torps, great! if not.. I still did my job even though WG did not see fit to provide rewards for it.Shootmedead

Forgot to add about myself.
I unlocked the North Hampton the other night and had fun with the KTKM event, so much easy credits to be made.
I'm finding the NH to be weaker than the Pensacola to be honest, then again I don't have the upgrades on the Hampton either. It sucks being outranged by everything but DDs at tier 6.

I got my first MVP but I still feel horrible at this game. It's my first day tho, so gotta git gud soon.

Good job getting MvP.
If you wanna get MvP reliably though, play a DD or CL/CA or CV if you are gud at them.
You can always get better or improve!
>>127519252
Really? What's the point of making it an online game then?
>>127520464
Good question, and one people have been asking WG for months. Its also consequently why the game is bleeding players at an uncomfortable rate.
>>127519452
>CVs are balanced and populated at all tiers, difficult but rewarding to play
eh, not very populated, but that's the nature of the gameplay I guess
>>127517451
Just unlocked the Königsberg 1927 and its great. It could have a bit less of dispersion, but so far I'm pretty happy with it.
>>127519252
B-but Anon! Did you maybe perhaps miss thepropaganda2015 summary video WG released?
They've had 10 million+ divisions!! And 66 ships, and an announcer who pronounces the wordBetain a way I have never before heard!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdp3otBus0Y
It is kind of entertaining to see what they've done up to launch(and after.) and how much SO had at launch, and how much since then! (New game modes, two British trees.)
>>127520712
I guess you could be right, we have a decent amount of players. They need be less punishing on the CV MM though, its great that they want to find CVs to fight, but there simply aren't that many at t6+. Sometimes its really hard to find games at t5 for a CV.
I do know at t8+ They don't even try to match CVs because they are so rare.
>>127520829
Honestly I've looked over the German cruiser stats and compared, they really aren't that good compared to the other cruiser classes. They are still playable, but it seems that US cruisers can outgun or IJN cruisers can bangity bang bang them to death.
Though I will say the range of their damn cruisers is punishing to their enemies.
>>127520274
I can't get the job done with DD, and I feel like if I don't go balls deep with BB to get the job done, no one else is going to get the job done. I don't if I'm the one shitting it all up or my team, but I guess that's something I'll discover after playing a ton.
>>127521158
Half that video is them talking about how pretty their game is and how they added ships that you have to buy. Also groups in WoWs are only limited to 3 people?
>>127521292
I was mainly thinking of how tier 3-5 battles are usually with 0-1 cvs per side, and you'd think they're capped at two per side like wows except they aren't, it's just ultra rare to get enough players queueing for a 3-CV-per-side matchup.
Tier 6 matchmaking is dogshit for everything, I have a sub, CL and DD and I barely muster the motivation for first win on them because I know it will always be 5 minute queue into 3v3 shit. Dunno how you farmed to midway with that population.
Koenigsberg 27 is the only CL below tier 7 that's okayish and isn't called atlanta, CLs imo are very bad atm. Take a DD, give the guns a more inaccurate high firing arc, make it bigger so its easier to hit, maybe give it scout planes, bam you have a CL.
>>127520712
Its hard
http://event.changyou.com/hz/201503/fleet/hkmj.shtml
>>127521615
CVs are the most attention requiring class while DDs require you to know spotting mechanics down to a tee. They also require you to know when to pull back and when to engage and the capabilities of your bote.
If you want a play a DD the best, you need to have a good sense of situational awareness as well.
>>127521889
Yes, they are limited to 5 in Steel Ocean. Teams are also bigger consequently.
>>127521912
Actually the cap is 3 CVs per side. Tier 6+ CVs actually get a bit more dangerous with 5 man squads, but other than they aren't much different.
I was a good goy and wanted to be the server first for Midway, I've also managed to have games in it believe it or not. It was a one sided slaughter each time. The Midway's planes are pretty tanky.
If CVs are rare in pub battles, at least they will be standard in fleet battles, as they aren't punishing the MM.
>>127521960
Its not that hard, but it can be frustrating if you don't plan your runs and strategies out ahead.
>>127521292
The only fair comparison would be the Agano, which is a CL too. USA gets a CA. I wouldnt be surprised if at later tiers the USA CAs are better than the German ones, though.
Honestly I wanted a DD bully and a backup scout.
>>127521615
Depends on how you want to play the DDs. I play them as scouts and DD harasser. Chech >>127492365 if you want to know more about the spotting mechanics.
>>127522916
I'm not a fan of upgrading CVs via squadsize, as long as the deck reload time barely improves the total throughput of a CV will remain the same across tiers. I usually run smaller squads unless I'm forced to launch from the other end of the map. Feels like the only substantial improvement across tiers is deck capacity and plane health.
>>127523398
USA actually has the Cleveland at tier 8 too. The thing is that CLs are escort ships and should be played as such. Max them out for stealth, stick near BBs and CVs and provide anti DD support or anti sub support.
CAs for USA actually are really good at later tiers, amazing AA and great guns. The Des Moines if given spotting data can just rake enemy BBs with AP until they die, doing 1/5 to 1/6 of their total HP a salvo. Or more drastically. Downside is, they lack torpedos or depth charges, so up close they will struggle against knife fighting DDs or subs.
>>127523760
Well, actually that is a smarter idea. In the initial stages of the battle, I run 2 scout plane squadron with 2 TB squadrons of 3. In the later stages when I'm doing constantly fire support, the timing in between squadrons and it gives me ample time for 4-5 man squadrons on a constant cycle.
The 4 star captain Raymond Spruance can temporarily reduce plane reload time by 30 percent, drastically increasing your ability to get planes in the air.
>>127523398
>>127521976
DD seems hard, that's why I'm focusing in BB for now, but I'll get into it. Thanks for the tips!
Oh and by the way, this game is fun as fuck.
>>127524186
Actually I stick close to the DDs until midmatch, killing enemy DDs so ours dont lose so much HP and get to the bigger targets faster. I do return to deal with the subs though.
>>127524516
If you play BBs, consider staying at 3km from your scouts, so you're in position to nuke something as soon as it gets spotted or run away. Take it with a grain of salt though, most of the DDs suck.
>>127524516
Well, since you're focusing on BBs now you'll start to notice how the DDs dodge salvos and move around the map. Later you can use similar tactics in your own DD and increase your survivability.
As for BBs, wich nation are you focusing into? and what kind of playstyle do you have? a static or a more mobile/agressive one?
>>127524516
>DD seems hard
They probably are the 2nd hardest class in game compared to CVs.
If you git gud at DDs, you will be invaluable to any team you are on. You can always practice at them.
BBs are more expensive to research and play compared to DDs by the way.
>>127524745
Thats a good way to play your cruisers. Subs are honestly some of the most frustrating enemies to deal with at higher tiers. DDs can't depth charge them because it requires them to be ontop of them and often enemies are guns are well within range, meaning that friendly DDs will either die or lose over half their HP attempting to kill subs. Its consequently while CVs are needed for sub hunting.
And yeah, most DDs are bad, the good ones are comparable to being batman on the ocean.
>>127524783
I personally believe that if you want to be more mobile support to play US CAs. They are essentially 3/4s of a BB.
>>127524745
I'm doing that in fact, but I feel like everytime subs start showing up near me, DDs go away to do shit at all instead of stoping them.
>>127524783
Mobile/agressive. I like to hit things with my sword (secondary). I try to get in range of carriers and other BB to hit them with my primary while being at a range enough to hit other targets with my secondary while having time to dodge torps.
>>127525291
Good CVs are invaluable when they are hunting subs. They can attack them without worrying about being shelled to death by enemy cruisers and battleships.
![[HorribleSubs] Kantai Collection - 04 [720p].mkv_snapshot_05.28_[2015.01.29_14.06.03].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/YGLJjFw.jpg "[HorribleSubs] Kantai Collection - 04 [720p].mkv_snapshot_05.28_[2015.01.29_14.06.03].jpg")
>>127525291
Personally I advance lagging a bit behind the cruisers and take shots at the enemy DDs to cut their vision and enemy BBs near my range to assist my own DDs. Secondary range is more of a "risk zone" for me since at that range you're pretty much spotted and if you're far ahead the enemy BBs would be delighted to shell your position. My advance is not as agressive but its forward enough to put pressure on enemy BBs while not being knife fighting DDs with secondaries.
You should also start thinking about your "route" in the BB so it can keep up with the match and adapt if needed, plus keeping your guns within the engament area as much as possible. As another note for movement, DO NOT STOP, yes you get a slight decrease in aim time when stopped but you can eventually be tracked down and collaped on because of your tracers, moving will make you a slightly harder target to hit. Thus once you have a "route" in mind that can be followed on the move constantly while keeping guns on conflict areas it'll be easy to relocate if needed.
>>127525920
Actually afaik, stopping doesn't decrease your aim time. I've noticed that just moving on a straight path is the same amount. At least its what I've noticed in my cruisers. When I traverse my turrets or bote it greatly fucks it over.
Though when I have a target to calibrate to, even if I adjust and the target is near the previous targetzone, it is extremely quick to readjust.

In the case of BBs you do get a very slight decrease in aim time (or atleast it feels like one) but stopping midbattle to aim a bit quicker can sometimes be fatal. Hence why being on the move is generally the best option.
>When I traverse my turrets or bote it greatly fucks it over.
To avoid this I generally try to make my "route" a zig-zag pattern to keep moving (albeit at low speed) and start turning my guns before turning the bote itself so they're already aimed in the general direction that I want.
>>127525920
I do not stop ever, I use R-F amd Q-E to adjust my way while in shift-targeting mode.
I like to keep my weapons always rearming, trying to be in positions that I can always hit something as soon as my guns are rearmed, but yeah, it's way too agressive for a BB, I'll see how I go playing a little more defensive as you say, and drawing a mental route too. It really helps when the team has a CV to scout where their cruisers/DDs are going.
>>127526287
Adding to this, I feel the same, aim time for me feels the same moving or not while in a straight path.
Oh and my aggresive ways may be because of listening to kongou pak on repeat.

You disappoint me.
>>127527114
>>127526743
This should give you an idea of the pattern that I talk about.
The blue line is the path that you'd follow, the green circles are the areas where you should start turning your guns to the other side and finally the red ones are examples of how that movement pattern could adapt for a more agressive or a more defensive moment.
Ideally you want to be on the same flank as all/most of your DDs and cruisers to get vision from them and shoo the subs away.Obviously you shouldn't do exactly the same thing, its just to give you an idea of the benefits of that kind of movement and you should adapt it to your own style.

Got it, I usually go to the flanks right away, haven't tried the mid-blue-arrows approach, thanks.
And I'm 3k exp short for Kongo 1931, gotta farm.
>>127528592
Don't forget, Nagato is4x2.In game her guns are actually weaker than the tier 6 if I remember correctly.
>>127528592
Remember, its just an example, you can make your approach longer by making more turns or shorter by making less. As for the alternative routes, they vary greatly with the map and the match, they're in there as an example in how the pattern can be altered to suit the current situation

>>127529545
Git gud, cruisers are the most fun class
>>127529652
All the firepower of BBs, none of the FATSO armor. Cruisers are truly the best.
>>127529712
They are the most fun class, that's why I said play cruisers.

>>127529364
Yeah don't worry, I know everything in the end is situational.
>>127529364
>Too much work, play cruisers
Well you can grab your cruisers anduse your personal playstyle and improve upon it.
I'm just giving anon an idea about BBs, you can also expose your points from a cruiser perspective and let him decide by himself, hell he could even mix both of them.
>>127529752
I'm sorry I misread

>>127535421
I actually like playing alone because I need to only worry about myself and I'm doing better this way.
But holy fuck all those statpadders crying in their hard to use floating mountains of point and click and adventure.
Literally everyone sending me invites to be their bitch.I'm not accepting them to give everyone even chances.
>>127536346
Fair enough. I care about my stats, but I can do well enough solo. I honestly just hate losing. BB players often can be entitled. They are used to WoWs where they are kings of the sea and only thing keeping them in check are CVs.
Its time to sleep /sog/

That's also part of the reason why Navyfield 2 went under after a promising start a year ago. The fleet battle thing was to be implemented "soon" and a lot of people at high tiers were just waiting for it to happen. But it never did, the devs just sat on their asses watching the game slowly sink. WG.net has become arrogant after they made it big with WoT, as exemplified by >>127511214.
I hope they flesh out the French fleet, lots of neat looking botes here
>>127544106
That just sounds horrible to be honest. I mean some people are still grinding to high tiers, but burning out at tier 8 and above when they hit a wall with repair costs. At least these devs have it right out the gate with fleet battles, with the higher tiers giving more points for your clan and higher renowned gained.
Its honestly sad to watch WG let WoWs goes to waste, it had such potential.
>>127544260
French Destroyers when?

>>127556462
she has a low firing arc making her neat for dealing with dds
also she's way better than in wows so that may indeed be biasing me
Why are tier 9's filled with BBs?
sometimes you get one or two DDs but its mostly battleships.
I even met Shoahcucku once

Replays function oddly.. but then so did WoWS and its replay system so nothing new there.
Space is play/pause..sometimes.
Right arrow is skip 40s,
Left arrow is exit the match, relaunch the match to a point 40 seconds in the past.

That fucking team deserved that fucking loss. God fucking damn shitters piss me off. So fucking much. I should have fucking TK'd them for fucking cowardice. This is what happens when I don't play CV, I get into games where my team's CV can't torp the broadside of a barn and our BBs camp at spawn.REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>127588313
>>127588313
Your CV just sailed in the middle of the flank where the fight was, and I never saw TBs in our side even when we were clumped as fuck in a corner.
>>127588565
You're god damn right I'm mad. The sheer incompetence of people makes me so fucking frustrated. This is why I'm an elitist prick sometimes, because of shit like this. I hope you grind them into the dirt next time.
>>127588589[SCREAMS EXTERNALLY]
So I just played a match where my teams DDs hid behind the BBs who ended up having to fight enemy DDs while getting nuked by enemy battleships at the same time.
>>127588932The match boiled down to a 3v1 with the sub hugging me and 2 BBsThe sub never landed a single torp and spent most of the time in the surface getting VERY SLOWLY damaged by my secondaries.Not a single BB shell landed in the area while I was fighting the subAfter finishing off the sub one of the BBs went to the cap, I expected a pincer maneuver dropping on me but it never happenedI killed the lone BB capping and couldn't find the last in time.

>>127586659

>>127589817
The fuckfest that was that flank could have been won by either side but when your guys lost a few botes it just collapsed and went to hell.My shitters weren't any better, that sub remained undisturbed until the CV noticed that it existed and panicked when it showed up next to him.
>>127590009
I know, I was just teasing.
You're a good guy, and I hope you guys will teach me more about being a good DD.
