I'm loving the Pensacola, she's amazing! Are all CAs this great?

I once were in a T9 queue with 16 players, I got queued in a 3v3.
>>137444948
It's all downhill from there in the US CA line
LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!
>>137446752
Really? How exactly do they go downhill ? I was really lookinjg forward to Northampton
>>137448492
Their only niche ends up being the RoF, and at T7 literally everything else has better damage, range, spotting and around the same RoF.
Submarines were a mistake.
I KEEP FORGETTING

>>137453084

Then at t8 USN greatly improves and at t9 and above USN cruisers have the alpha of t6 BBs at a high RoF with god tier AA.

You start in Atlanta and move to the Hamptons. But and as you go up in tiers, you become worse and worse cities as more and more guns are needed.
>Hamptons are nice
>Quickly move on to Cleveland, Baltimore, Brooklyn, etc.
>>137453924
Sometimes when you type the % sign in the client, it causes it to crash. Seems pretty random. Before I typed 80% I typed in 70% without an issue.
Obligatory gloatpost for destroying subhumans so quickly I got medals for it.
The best part was killing two of them with 1 TB run. I'll make a video of it tomorrow, since I'm supposed to be asleep right now.Sorry for exposing you guys to my shit-tier DD play. I'll get better eventually.
>>137458445
Wasn't me m8
>>137460134
Its fine, we all have to learn and started like shitters. Get ready for the forced funtime tomorrow.
>>137460628
Thanks, senpai.
And I totally forgot what day it is; I've been playing way too many games today.
Reminder that tomorrow is 5v5s! Since it's a new season we should be free to try things out, which is pretty exciting.But don't forget that while it might all be fun and games for the first week, because there's gold on the line it's ultimately super cereal business.
Anyway, this is a great time for people to start. First you'll want a proper T7 ship. Just ask in thread which mods you'll need upgraded or if the navy you want to go is any good at 5v5s.
>>137460134
Sleep tight fagt.
5v5s is even more tryhard this time because if you want to stay ahead of the game you'll have to play in both TZs

>>137464437
They also seem to flicker at long distance.
>>137463905
No problem. Reminder that sleep is a mistake.
>>137464590
Im guessing its an attempt at LOD, attempting to mimick how hard it is to see torps and helping with optimization. More people is eating torps now.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. We have become Dark Judge. We are to pubs what DJ were to us early on.

We should do a really shitty fandub of Kancolle.

>>137480464
That would be impossible. No one would want to voice such a shitty MC.
>>137481560
The Chemo Machine would. When ever she opens her mouth, the fan noise comes out.
So apparently bulge is useless:
>m-class torp 1500 dmg
>tosa torp hit, 1330dmg, tosa bulge 350
>bisko torp hit, 1380dmg, bisko bulge 300
Unless it has some magical anti-fire/rack effect, a bulge mod (+10%) decreases your speed by 5% to make you take like 30 less damage per torp.
>>137482632
Angle your shit then, faggot.
>>137482632
You forgot to mention that you hit my Bisko right about the middle, whereas you hit the Tosa in the bow.
>>137483526
The lowest hit was above 1300, meaning at best the bulge decreased damage by 200. I don't know where bulge is supposed to be thickest, but I hit different sections and the bulge never decreased damage from its max (1500) significantly.
>>137483354
What does angling have to do with the fact that the bulge module shouldn't be used?
Cozy bump.
>>137487734
HAGuro
>>137483979
You know the concept of Effective Armor, right?
>>137489861
Does it work in this game?
>>137489980
Possibly.
I'm too lazy to test it.
Sat confirmed scrub
>>137489861
In my experience highly angled TB shots seem more likely to cause mags and fires, not less. Either way, with those numbers I'll avoid bulge commanders and mods, angling or no.

Reading about that battle:
> At 13:33, in a desperate attempt to keep the ship from capsizing, Yamato's damage control team counter-flooded both starboard engine and boiler rooms. This mitigated the danger but also drowned the several hundred crewmen manning those stations, who were given no notice that their compartments were about to fill with water.

Reminder that tomorrow is KTKM day.
Also that your weeklies will reset.
Finally, don't forget to get your 20 wins either guys! Get it over with ASAP so you don't feel any pressure later on.
Also thanks for coming to 5v5s everyone. The addition of an extra EU TZ period will put a lot of pressure on the points grind, so I might take it easier this season as I can't make the Thursday one and might have to skip the occasional Sunday afternoon. The good news is that as long as you're top 50 or 100, you can still hit top 20 during the last week if you grind hard enough with an unranked team.What the chinks should have done is for the one day only, lock you out of US TZ if you participated in EU TZ. That way a NEET/hikki team can't farm both and be unreachable in points.
Goodnight, /sog/.

I just played some bots and noticed that you got bots in your own team as well. I find it frightening that they play better than actual human players by just spamming torps. Good easy exp though.

>>137601367
Myoko is good, godly good compared to Aoba, you'll have fun with her. Colorado is the worst T7 BB, not saying it's shit, but if the captain isn't good with BBs in general, it will ruin people's days.
>>137601474
It took me a shitton of matches to get used to her and start doing good, until that, it was pure concentrated suffering.
>>137601616

>>137601930
Aren't those 203s as well? And they have trouble penning a DD? What the shit. That sounds horrible. Is the other bote as bad as the Aoba? Don't remember the name but you can choose a CL instead of the Aoba right?
>>137602073
That's an abstract kind of hell, like, A O B A is suffering, but the agano is in another plane altogether.
>>137602073
You dont want to pick the Agano, belive me. A DD would have the same damage as the Agano, so you end up being a bigger target with lower RoF turrets for the same damage and no benefits. The pen is shit too iirc.
>>137601474
