Over the fucking line. I though you were better than this wave, 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.
Yeah wave, fuck you.
Reminder that you should aspire to make the /wowsg/ great again, instead of rampant shitposting and local memestar circlejerk.
Reminder that this is a strict forum for discussing video games and video games ONLY any and all anime/fun posting will be dealt with most severely. Only real boats are allowed in this serious atmosphere. Absolutely no discussion of anything outside of World of Warships statistic values is allowed.

Please SIR KEEP THE DISCUSSION TO THE INGAME MECHANICS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF WORLD OF WARSHIPS ONLY! I will be forced to downvote you otherwise.
let's get going with the discussion from last thread
>but that isn't the point, the point is that whining and wanting safe spaces free from superior unicum culture while at the same time roleplaying and being a shitter is absolutely retarded and hypocritical
It's not though, that's my point. Shitters can play and enjoy doing so in their own safe space and still have the right to not get groped by superior unicum players in the ocean. There's a massive difference between chauvinistic plays and physical assault on shitters. Just because they are playing to their own instincts doesn't make them the equivalent of the subject matter - just like playing CS:GO doesn't make you a Global Elite on your first day. A safe space will allow shitters to essentially git gud without putting a strain to better players in matchmaking.

>Q. 1. Why have you decided to cancel the test drive for new lines (for instance Soviet DD’s)?
>2. Did the event not meet your expectations?
>3. Do you plan to do it again for Soviet cruisers?
>A. We decided to cancel test drives because of the negative feedback we received from players. Players had mixed feelings for not being able to have upgraded ships and had the feeling that, in the end, we were “taking their ships away”. Thus the effort is not worth the negative reaction it gets. We don’t plan to bring back public test drives in the near future. We may add individual test drives though.

I did. Probably a bad sign that our T10 carrier has a 50% WR.
I'm also pretty sure two squads of those DBs took off like 25-30k of my HP in one run. What the fuck, man.
>>136024439
People were whining that whenever Public Test server went up, players had to regrind the lines instead of having everything unlocked and handed to them on a silver platter.
WG responded to the criticism by simply canning Public Test, and making pre-release ship testing Supertest only.
Here we have a fine specimen of t10 gameplay in it's natural habitat: disproportionately large maps with islands covering the worst places.
Observe the lack of xp gain amongst both teams, and the numerous reports traded between CAs and BBs.
Will they make it to the next game?
Who knows....

How are people so poor? Play your lower tiers more.
Also mutsuki a shit. Although she would actually be alright if they actually balanced torpedo reload based off the number of torp tubes instead of this arbitrary shit they are currently using.
>>136033945
this
i made it from tier 1 to tier 10 with 15~ mil credits in profit and i played the worst class as well

what do you work with :3
>>136033945
>Also mutsuki a shit. Although she would actually be alright if they actually balanced torpedo reload based off the number of torp tubes instead of this arbitrary shit they are currently using.
mutsuki is comfy
10 km range, 37.5 kn speed, 6.2 base concealment on that tier make her super safe
>>136034063
i grinded 3 lines though and mostly without premium

>killing cruisers in BBs
I stand by my assertion that on average, cruisers are best at killing cruisers. BBs are usually too RNG to reliably kill those maneuverable little fuckers.
I exclusively played Mogami during the Kongo/Myoko mission and got done with the 30 cruisers in a little over a day.
>>136034636
Reload is too slow, unless you get a bunch of derps sailing in straight lines, you won't be doing much. Guns are same range as minekaze but slower rof, only bonus is the turret rotating is faster. You might as well just play the minekaze, it's even more comfier than the mutsuki.

Hey /wowsg/
Would you a pagoda?
>>136035958
minekaze has ~3 km less safety window on her torps which forces you to make relatively risky torpedo runs, but her torps are better for making torp runs
minekaze fully upgraded has 4 guns 6 rpm, mutsuki fully upgraded has 2 guns 10.9 rpm i.e. 24 vs 21.8 rpm, but minekaze's guns have 30 sec half-turn while mutsuki's top ones - 18 sec, mutsuki's gun also dual purpose and look badass
relatively good aa for her tier too, albeit i think it was somehow nerfed with aa changes since the main part of her aa it's 22 25 mm guns

KanColle sure, you almost have a reason to be assblasted about. But not Wargaming sanctioned Arpeggio of blue steel.

russian jews in israel are mostly jews by their blood... but they often refuse to accept the culture of the other jews and sometimes even to learn the jew lang and so they live largely like russians don't giving shit of the local culture (which is a curious mix of some shtetl customs and artificially restored old stuff like the very language). other jews like you have some magical thinking that being a jew by blood automatically makes a person behave a certain way and that way it is how they imagine a jew should behave, so when they see russian jews behaving like russians they refuse to accept their blood relations and invent this stuff that those jews are not real jews but just pretended to be jews... you know, the actual nationality of a person it's not his blood but how he was raised and/or how he behaves, but people assume the nationality by blood and by blood they are jews, it was jews who left soviet union back then, do you think they let move anybody who wanted? soviet citizens back then had their nationality stated in their inner passports
also not to forget that the first jew settlements there in the beginning of 20th century when this whole great returning or w/e you call it began had quite a lot of russian jews... russia always was a country with one of the largest per cent of jews and those often left it too. russian jews were one of the very reasons why your artificial country even exists, the second one it's british and their divide and rule policy to stir arabs and the third one it's hitler who killed a lot of jews and the fourth it's usa who needed an ally against soviet union
>>136056220
sounds like something you'd read from a book written by KBG about jews
Russian cruisers officially release tomorrow on SEA server, and then one day later on EU server.
Currently no ETA for the NA server.
Are there any warship that use mild steel as armor?
I know that most WWII armor use chrome-moly alloys.
>>136056853
i don't think they did?
during ww2 they used it for unarmored decks and stuff...
http://www.combinedfleet.com/okun_biz.htm
the article mentions also south dakota had a mild steel plate as a second bulkhead plate except the main belt made of the proper steel
as for earlier, apparently it was tested back in 1870s but was obsolete to 1890s
here is an interesting article http://www.naval-history.net/WW0Book-USN-Armour1937.htm
>In 1876 gun power and projectile quality had so increased that about 22 inches of iron was necessary to accomplish the defeat of a projectile from the heaviest cannon, but in that year occurred, at Spezia, a trial which revolutionized armor manufacture and permitted a reduction in thickness. In these trials a 22-inch mild steel, oil-quenched plate manufactured by the great French firm of Schneider et Cie. completely outclassed all its iron competitors.
>This steel plate, while possessing superior ballistic resistance, was more prone to breaking up and this difficulty led to the next real development
>Thus resulted a new type of armor - the compound type - the two principal examples of which were the Wilson Cammel compound plate in which an open-hearth steel face was cast on top of a hot wrought iron back plate, and the Ellis-Brown compound plate in which a steel face plate was cemented to an iron back plate by pouring molten Bessemer steel between them
also from the wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armored_cruiser
>The armored cruisers built in the mid– to late–1890s were often as large and expensive as pre-dreadnought battleships.
>Their speed was made possible due to another development, case-hardened steel armor—first Harvey armor and then crucially Krupp armor. The higher tensile strength of these armors compared to nickel steel and mild steel made it feasible to put a light yet useful armor belt on a large cruiser.

Attention SEAtards:
There is a mod that lets you install the game font files for non-Latin/Cyrillic languages. You can properly display Thai/Chinese/Japanese/Korean in the game chat, without having to install a Thai/Chinese/Japanese game client (so you can play the game in English). This gets rid of the boxes.
From here:
forum.worldofwarships.asia/index.php?/topic/2930-【模組】軍階人名艦艇名配件名中文化艦艉海軍旗/
you only want to install two files:
1. fonts_all.swf
2. fontconfig.xml
and that's it. Don't bother about the other files, they're for renaming ships (the guy who made it is a Taiwanese guy who wants different ship names).

JUST
>>136066821
Is there a rule of thumb? Like under 10km you can generally shoot AP? Asked in the game and their answer was always shoot AP with germans cause best AP. Had a lot of times were shots just bounce and don't do any damage at all.

>Another attempt was started in February 1944 by the DNC to incorporate wartime lessons and create a cutting edge design, but he soon concluded that "the power of modern weapons had increased so much that ever-increasing armour and torpedo protection was required until it became incompatible with the limited offensive power of the ship."[17] No effort was made to investigate the torpedo protection system, nor were their characteristics finalized. Naval historians William Garzke and Robert Dulin speculate that the ships might have been 830 feet (253.0 m) long, with a beam of 115 feet (35.1 m), and a draught of 35 feet (10.7 m). They might have displaced about 56,500 long tons (57,400 t).[17] Estimated endurance was 8600nm with a clean hull.

So USN cruisers aren't getting radar? What the actual fuck? FUCK YOU WARGAMING, LITERALLY SUBHUMAN SHITS
>>136067262
like I said, depends on tier. With 5-6, you can try and spam AP even to max range and pray for plunging penetrations but I found more success spamming HE, and only using AP on broadside cruisers @ 10km
for Yorck, only use HE unless it's a broadside cruiser at less than 8km.
Hipper and above can citadel broadside cruisers at max range and BBs up close. I only switch to HE with these botes when cruisers/BBs angle against me. So the general rule of thumb is AP when ships are broadside and HE at the superstructure when they're angled.
>Raptor got banned
Fucking YES
>>136067605
>So USN cruisers aren't getting radar?
You need to read the truly non-retarded patchnotes

Hipper can actually citadel IJN cruisers (up to Mogami) through the bow and stern
Is truly fun game.

Not sure about all tiers, but at t10 the Soviet CA is literally more visible than Montana.

They also turn like a CV and, from the gameplay videos I saw, it seems that their engines get damaged easily.
>>136068385
I've only been able to do this at 6km and I feel like it requires lucky dispersion
maybe I just suck at aiming when boats are bow-on

did WG ever transfer someones account to a different region?
>>136069438
I think it only hapenned when the SEA server was opened
>>136069498
did they keep their progress
>>136069438
No, the only exception was during major migration drives.
During 2012, Australian players could get their NA WoT accounts transferred to SEA, but it was a one-way transfer. No other transfers have been allowed since.
Even making a support ticket and saying "I moved to a different country" doesn't help, they won't do it.
>>136069532
Yes
>>136069558
>Even making a support ticket and saying "I moved to a different country" doesn't help, they won't do it.
lol that's fucking hilarious, from a business perspective they'll lose customers that way
>open the game
>new update announcement
>watch the video
So, if I understand correctly, they're going to implement a soviet line that's a napkin project from tier V onwards.
Meanwhile we don't have any of the actually historical ships that actually existed and actually fought like the British Royal Navy or the Italian Regia Marina.
>>136069725
They need to reenact all the great russian naval victories
oh wait
>>136068385
>>136068696
Yea, it requires pretty much lucky dispersion to hit dead center because of the 65 degree auto bounce.
>>136069725
>China got a ship in the game before France
>Poland got a ship in the game before Italy
So the base AA focus fire bonus got improved from 10% to 30% but what is the secondary base focus fire bonus even?
I tried to google but no one seems to know what the focus fire bonus is on secondary guns, not even the wiki has the info. Of course I'm not talking about the manual fire skill bonus, just the base, when you ctrl click ships to focus them.
If China gets TWO premium ships, Russian gets TWO tech tree lines, and Poland gets one premium ship, that just means they're going where the money trail leads, and aren't actually making ships based on historical importance.
>>136070173
>a private company wants to make money
no shit sherlock
>Boo hoo british ships aren't coming for another few months waaaahhhhhnobody cares
>>136070126
I think its a coefficient of 1.2 and when you manual target it goes up to 1.5
>>136069876
Well yeah, of course you have to actually hit the enemy.
The point was that if he is pointing right at you, not a few degrees off, you are better off firing AP.
You either miss completely, or get a chance to citpen.
If he is angled or weaving randomly, shoot HE. AP will autobounce.
>>136070337
Yes. Only the britcucks care, and they actually enjoy being denied this way more than palying 'their' ships.
>>136069725
They need to pander to their biggest user bases. Why do you think both the Russian and German navies were released before the British?
>>136067782
>Captain Yotaro has been added
literally who?
>>136069725
Not exactly
5 is real, and 6-7 are just a Segway for the tier 8.
9 and 10 were at least real projects with blueprints and everything. There are relatively few napkin blueprinted ships in this one.
