Is it gonna behave like tower in MOBA game?

seems like it's going to be like the current cap points, but with the added bonus of shooting at people
>>146792627
maybe
>>146792627
yes
>>146792627
It's going to give baBBies a stationary target to shoot at so they can feel useful.
How do we make Ibuki better than Mogami?

OP is a fag
While I don't approve of the repeated and constant use of shipfu pictures for the OP, I'll chime in:
Reminder to keep the thread civil.Shipfu posting is fine, but keep them in sensible numbers and don't let them get out of control.
>>146799294
What >>146799594 said, traverse and RoF buff will make Ibuki an upgrade instead of a sidegrade.

What is your winrate? I don't need an exact number, so as to not give a clear cue of who you are, but a range is fine.
>Hi~Mi~Tsu~Please. You can name your top 5 in no specific order
>>146804271
>>146799294
Reverse the direction of one of its torp tubes so that they face forwards like Atago's.
>>146804552
>When
Who knows? I'm gonna try to learn some basic JS so that I can automate this process and get off of Excel because it's still kinda labor-intensive with how many people I have on the /wowsg/ playerlist now.
>Please
No
>What is your winrate?
I have a purple WTR. That good enough?
>top 5
No.
And yet, OP is still a faggot.
>>146804847
Fair enough.
>>146804660
Atago should have had both tubes facing the bow.
WG probably gave her the current configuration for BALANSS purposes.
But why is OP such a faggot?

It's worse when your shitter team is trying to shittalk you in chat but you're too busy fighting and maneuvering and trying to scrounge up a win to respond to them. And you think "Maybe I don't need to avoid the next salvo. Typing out an angry response is more important." And then you suppress that urge and drag those shitters to victory.

>>146813971
no, your job is to wait in the shadows until your cruisers and battleships have the enemy distracted, then you suicide the enemy lines and torpedo as many enemies as you can before you die.

>>146812905
Youre not too smart, are you?
>didn't know to press enter to open chat
Yeah, figures.
>>146813971
My priorities when playing DDs:
First priority is to hunt down enemy DD's trying to torp allies, and to get early spots on enemy torps.
Then your next objective is to cap points (if domination).
Then you torp enemy BB's and Cruisers (while staying invisible).
And then, if there's an ally who is getting focused down, and you're sure you won't die or take heavy damage by doing it, you open fire and attract the enemies attention.Is that pic yours?
>>146814239The wikipedia article isn't as comprehensive as I thought, but seriously, find a good account of the Czechoslovak Legion, they had some adventures in their time.

>>146845504
Used to be BBs but now it's CAs because I just like padding my damage, and I can sit back and farm instead of trying to lead from the front.
Yamato or Ibuki.
100% solo.
Teir 7.1 according to my stats, but lately it's T8&9, although my single most played ship is T10. I don't particularly like how high tier gameplay works in BBs, but I like the ships up there so I can stand it.
I'm a good goy and bought a bunch but if I don't think that's a terribly great idea, stuff like the Atago and MK are overpriced but they are good ships if you get them.
Objectively better for me just due to the fact that in WoT I ended up with a single T10 and a few T8s after a bit over 3k games, in this I have a T10, 2 T9s and I'm close to another T10 + a decent number of lines to T7/8 with like 1.2k games played.
57k, 1209, 54.85% (~60% over my last few hundred games though, no bully pls), SEA.
>>146846182
>i don't buy premium
>have 1 year prem
>>146846342
context retard
the question was about premium ships
i also clearly stated 'premiums' not 'premium'
anyway, premium is a much better use of money than premium ships in my opinion
>>146846309
In regards to game played, you have to consider that average WoT battles are generally a bit shorter than WoWs batles.
>1209 WTR
>57k dmg
That's pretty low, i'm at 1510 WTR rising with only 41k dmg.
CA player tho.
>>146847880
High tier BB player, my most played ship is the Hotel with like 100k average, so it pulls my average up. And I was never amazing with BBs to begin with, but they make up ~60% of my games so my recent success in CAs is a little overshadowed.
And yeah, the XP gain per time spent does seem a bit higher though, possible also because I've spent a lot of time with stuff like bonus XP flags/camos from when it used to come from confederate whereas I quit playing WoT years ago now and I don't remember them having anything similar.
>>146845504
>What's your favourite class and why?
Used to be BB's, but now it's DD's. Because they go fast, they can influence the match a lot and 69% WR. Also, hunting down other DD's is fun.
Cruisers are still my most played class (used to be BB's) because they're just so easy to play. Much more relaxing and less effort to get good results than with any other class. Truly the CAsual class.
>Which warship did you had/have most fun in?
Aoba
>Do you play mainly solo or do you div. with other /wowsg/ or friends?
3000 total games, 1100 of those being solo. I div with fellow /wowsg/ friendos.
>Average tier played, do you find higher tiers too passive and boring?
5.9. T10 is too passive, boring and awful. Hightiers are bearable in DD's, but using my Hotel is usually more painful than rewarding, even if I end up top XP and win.
>How do you feel in regards to premium ships? Do they offer a good investment or are they rip offs?
Good investment. I have several, but I could really do with just Atago, which makes a ton of easy credits.
>How did you find the grind? Worse or better than WoT? What's your perceived opinion on this matter?
Better than WoT. Because bottom-tier ships can actually do something against +2 MM ships. A Fuso can still be a threat to an Amagi/NC. It's not like in WoT where you're mostly shit out of luck.
>Average damage, WTR, w/r % and server
60,648, 1578, 68.60%, NA
I love Atlanta so much.
>>146847880
Overall average damage is a shitty metric. DD and CA mains are bound to get lower numbers than BB players.
>48 planes, most, if not all were selected due to manual AA
>no clear sky
Why
>>146850403
They changed it so it's a certain percentage of all the planes in the match, even unlaunched BB floatplanes and stuff.
>>146850773
Well, there was a hiryu and a shokaku, so i wonder how many planes i would have had to shot down.
>>146813971
>The purposes of DDs
Initially, to move ahead of the fleet, cap flags and reveal the disposition of the enemy fleet. SN DDs are worst for this due to their long detection ranges.
Secondly, to engage and disrupt enemy DDs attempting to perform the above purpose for their fleet (and later in the game, the below purpose). IJN DDs are worst for this due to their sub-par guns.
Thirdly, to engage enemy capital ships (BBs and CVs) without taking return fire. IJN DDs stealthily use torpedoes for this. US DDs can use their guns or ambush-tactic torpedoes. SN DDs use their guns and only close to use torpedoes against enemies that are hopelessly overwhelmed.
DDs are very valuable in the endgame due to their speed and stealth, which can allow them to overturn a points deficit for their team by capping flags.
>>146818287
Low-tier Japanese Premiums now have a special upgrade which gives you the dispersion (but not the range) buff.
>>146834406
>On 22 June 1945, six "Bettys" attacked the fleet. Two returned, but no hits were recorded. Postwar analysis concluded that the Ohka's impact was negligible, since no U.S. Navy capital ships had been hit during the attacks because of the extremely effective defensive tactics that were employed.[14]
P intense vid tho.
>>146841689
Don't get too cocky, kid.
>>146845504
>What's your favourite class and why?
BBs, their long reloads give me time to shitpost.
>Which warship did you had/have most fun in?
This is a hard one but I think I've gotta give it to the Tirpitz, the amount of crazy fucking shit I've pulled off thanks to the torpedoes...
>Do you play mainly solo or do you div. with other /wowsg/ or friends?
>playing solo
>Average tier played, do you find higher tiers too passive and boring?
6.8, ehh it really depends, high tiers are fun if you play in a division and can push together. T8 is my favorite tier, provided T8 is the top tier.
>How do you feel in regards to premium ships? Do they offer a good investment or are they rip offs?
It's probably worth it to have one or two good premiums you enjoy, like the Tirpitz, for dosh grinding. But once you have one good credit grinder buying anymore is just autism.
>How did you find the grind? Worse or better than WoT? What's your perceived opinion on this matter?
Never played WoT but compared to say Warthunder its easy as fuck to grind in this game, you can easily get to T8 in any line in just a week or two. T8-10 takes for fucking ever though.
>Average damage, WTR, w/r % and server
58k, 1353, 62.85%, NA
>>146845504
>What's your favourite class and why?
Hard to say. BBs are fun because big numbers and your actions have a large strategic effect on the match. Torpedobotes are nice because you can operate independently and bully baBBies.
>Which warship did you had/have most fun in?
Probably Furutaka. The combo of big guns and long-reach torpedos is hard to beat. Fuso and Wyoming have been good too.
>Do you play mainly solo or do you div. with other /wowsg/ or friends?
Mainly solo, due to autisticly switching between ships on the basis of a random number generator. Have divved with /wowsg/ a few times, will probably do so again.
>Average tier played, do you find higher tiers too passive and boring?
Pic related. T7 is my highest and I haven't encountered any boring play even in T9 matches yet.
>How do you feel in regards to premium ships? Do they offer a good investment or are they rip offs?
Rip-offs. Spending money on this game shouldn't lead to spending more money, but that's all you can do with the exp you earn on a premium. I would consider them good value if the exp became free exp by default, or at the very least, could be applied to the same ship line. Premiums should allow you to re-train captains for ships you don't have yet too.
>How did you find the grind? Worse or better than WoT? What's your perceived opinion on this matter?
Never played WoT, but I'm not finding the grind to detract from the game too much. I have many ship lines going at any given time.
>Average damage, WTR, w/r % and server
Pic related; EU.
Cant wake up.
Unsure where else to post this (/toy/ is always dead), but I've gotten into doing custom warships in LDD, and have so far done a few; Kongo, North Carolina, Iowa, Warspite, and feedback would be great an suggestions to do in the future.
ldd.us.lego.com/en-us/gallery/fd27bf44-8924-48d7-a300-5f4af4ddb36f?index=6&loadprivate=true&memberid=fcc10872-95e0-4bb6-8ffb-0a2818c04c52
Above is warspite.
I've tried dd's, but they end up looking silly in this scale and I dont wana move out of it since I actually build these in person once their perfected. Also not doing Yamato cause there's already 5000 designs around. Thinking either Nagato or Ise next, although Ive been leading towards Dreadnought.

The NC is pretty neat. I'd go back to the drawing board with Warspite. The castle superstructure is too far into the front, should go where the smokestack is sitting right now. Try moving the smokestack two pegs to the rear, while keeping teh catapult area in the same place..
>>146853129
Thanks. Warspite was a bit of a pain since she has to be a bit shorter than the Iowa/NC but the bricks needed are fuckhuge. Also the shorter stern deck was a nightmare to figure out will keeping flush sides.
Another NC
And the whole fleet so far side by side

DD. I get to be in charge of taking and keeping cap points and bully the ever loving fuck out of other DD. The longer i can manage to stay out in front like that, the more torps i spot for the team too. DDs get to help the team in so many ways. Torping a BB from full health every once in a while is an awesome feeling.
Benson. It feels like it can do everything.
I div mostly. Watching something eat torps and shitposting arent nearly as fun alone.
6.1 i think high tiers are too passive but not so much that they are unplayable. I would just rather my games go toward unlocking new ships instead of pouring them into a tier 10.
Some of the prem ships are great and some are rip-offs.
The grind is better than WoT imo. If only because you can pull higher xp on average here compared to tonks.

Yeah, most definitely move the smokestack to sit atop the next brick, move the castle into that spot.
On Kongo, you need to make the pagoda messier. That cylinder makes it look too clean, and for a moment I thought it was a German ship. Maybe also make it a bit taller (?); at that scale you might want to exaggerate the ship's main features, slightly more cartoony, though not sure if that's what is on your mind.
Making Ise should give you practice on proper pagoda building.
>>146855312
Also
>cleveland nerfed
>>146855370
Not really going for cartoony. Pagoda's are tough since there's so much going on and the real estate is tough. Part of the challenge that makes it fun I guess. I resorted to the cylinders with the guides on it just because it gave it some of that messiness.
>>146855639

What's your opinion on this? I think this look pretty neato
>>146859428
>>146859575
Definitely looks much better.
>>146845504
>>What's your favourite class and why?
Cruisers. It's a nice mix of maneuverability and firepower. Juking shots from BBs is a lot of fun, as is a good cruiser duel.
>>Which warship did you had/have most fun in?
Probably Yorck. The HE is solid, the AP packs a punch when used under the right circumstances, torp tubes point forward, she's nimble, and she's surprisingly tanky. A very comfy cruiser to play.
>>Do you play mainly solo or do you div. with other /wowsg/ or friends?
Most of my games are solo, but recently, I've div'd more and more with /wowsg/.
>>Average tier played, do you find higher tiers too passive and boring?
My favorite tiers are 6-8. Tiers 9 and 10 are generally zzzzzz.
>>How do you feel in regards to premium ships? Do they offer a good investment or are they rip offs?
They're okay. I bought my prem ships mainly because I thought they looked fun, and they generally are. The credits are a nice perk, but that's not really why I bought them.
>>How did you find the grind? Worse or better than WoT? What's your perceived opinion on this matter?
After a year of playing, I have a tier 10 in WoWS, whereas after multiple years of playing WoT, I didn't. There is yet no grind as bad as the stock Ferdi grind with no guns unlocked. (I researched it from the Tiger P and not from the Jagdpanther like everyone else, so I didn't have even the second gun.)
>>Average damage, WTR, w/r % and server
50-something K, purple (1440-something last I checked), 60% overall, NA.

Also, don't be the first one to get spotted. Stay behind islands whenever possible and make use of your insane arc to fire over them. But really, use another ship.
>>146862029
So far I've had no problems with atlanta in ranked. I'm performing a lot better than in a myoko and can actually delete BB under a minute. The problem is my team dies faster or I'm the first focused because I'm presenting danger to their DDs
>>146845504
>What's your favourite class and why?
DDs, I feel that you see the most variability in playstyles and options playing DDs (i.e. capping, fighting other DDs, gunboating), and there's a class specialized for each of them.
>Which warship did you had/have most fun in?
Kiev, with a close second to Yorck. Unless I do something really stupid, it's fun to endlessly pelt enemy ships, win ro lose.
>Do you play mainly solo or do you div. with other /wowsg/ or friends?
With >friends irl. I actually do a little better solo, but I don't mind.
>Average tier played, do you find higher tiers too passive and boring?
5.8, but I have 4 T8s and a T10. I just play a lot of lines. I don't mind high tiers too much. In an IJN DD a passive enemy is honestly a little easier to torp.
>How do you feel in regards to premium ships? Do they offer a good investment or are they rip offs?
I think they're fine. There most premiums are good investments (Blys, Atago, Molotov, Murmansk), and the bad ones are obvious. Honestly I'd like some of the standard equivalents (Mogami, Gnevny) to be buffed to match their premium equivalents, if WG is unwilling to nerf them.
>How did you find the grind? Worse or better than WoT? What's your perceived opinion on this matter?
The overall grind is fine, but the captain retraining system is absolute garbage and deliberately tries to force you to spend doubloons on captain retraining.
>Average damage, WTR, w/r % and server
44k, 1357, 56.3%, NA
>>146863279
Teams get better the further up you go. Atlanta gets increasingly worse at dealing with smart players the further you move up.
You're better off playing a US DD yourself to perform DD removal.
>>146845504
>What's your favourite class and why?
Cruisers. A very versatile class that allows for great freedom in play style. Limited influence on Battles though
>Which warship did you had/have most fun in?
Yorck. Many claims that it's complete dogshite though.
>Do you play mainly solo or do you div. with other /wowsg/ or friends?
I think I've an 80:20 ratio on that . Recent I'm more inclined to div with friends and /wowsg/ to play in a more effective roleand to stat pad
>Average tier played, do you find higher tiers too passive and boring?
7. Starting from Tier 8 the players seems to be more conservative in terms of play style.
>How do you feel in regards to premium ships? Do they offer a good investment or are they rip offs?
I'm yet to invest in a premium ship as I doubt if I'm going to play wows a lot in the long run. They looks reasonably priced are provide a decent amount of fun in return.
>How did you find the grind? Worse or better than WoT? What's your perceived opinion on this matter?
Had no-experience in WOT. The grind is pretty manageable to me .

>>146863508

>>146845504
>>What's your favourite class and why?
Cruisers. IMO they are simply more versatile. I liked that feature in medium tanks in WoT as well, even back when they were only T9 max.
>>Which warship did you had/have most fun in?
Pensacola.
>>Do you play mainly solo or do you div. with other /wowsg/ or friends?
solo
>>Average tier played,
5.2. Though my max tier is T8.
>>do you find higher tiers too passive and boring?
From what I've seen so far on T8 ship -- yes.
>>How do you feel in regards to premium ships? Do they offer a good investment or are they rip offs?
I don't have any, though I see them as good investment
>>How did you find the grind? Worse or better than WoT? What's your perceived opinion on this matter?
Much better. In WoT if you got into bottom of team on stock tank You are screwed. Here, you can at least do something. And I just feel that I am passing lines faster then in WoT.

>>146845504
>What's your favourite class and why?
CA. didnt tried DD and CV much but BB is a PITA due to low reloads and mobility on CBT.
>Which warship did you had/have most fun in?
aoba was a game changer for me. guns, derpedoes and some agility with working turrets
>Do you play mainly solo or do you div. with other /wowsg/ or friends?
i do solo, tho i feel the need to div now that im about to make way to mogami
>Average tier played, do you find higher tiers too passive and boring?
i played little ever since CBT was over, i musnt have more that 300 hours clocked. high tier are really tense for me.
>How do you feel in regards to premium ships? Do they offer a good investment or are they rip offs?
i had a sads about wot premium, i wanted to use super pershing because of the secksi spaced armor but alas, they are crippled compared to other tanks. wows still has some but its def not a big deal like in wot. i might buy a CV or DD premium, but none struck me like that yet.
>How did you find the grind? Worse or better than WoT? What's your perceived opinion on this matter?
i was stuck on m3 lee then the american heavy M1 i think, so im not really sure if they compare to furrytacos and the early IJN CA. now that i got gud on moe-oko i feels its kindalight

>>146863935
She's a tougher 15.5cm Mogami. The addition of increasingly long-ranged ships (looking at you Kirov with 16.3 km range at fucking Tier 5) makes her a little more vulnerable to other cruisers, but at close range she's still murder.

a lot of people say she's going to play like a USN DD, but I feel as if she'd play more like a Soviet DD, with high velocity, lower damage/fire chance guns except with DF.

You'd have to buy me at least a $100 warchest.
>>146864614
it makes sense but did it actualy had better bullet velocity compared to 127mm guns
it feels like it will be a atlanta with less turrets. barrage and smoke on a DD with low range weapon plus less torpedoes that the usual ijn DD, not that impressive
>>146864930
National peculiarity. It's going to have shit gun rotation and long rangeand slowtorps.
>>146864614
She should be pretty interesting. Slow DD, with good high-velocity guns and IJN concealment.
>>146845504
>What's your favourite class and why?
BB. I like the slow playstyle, their unique designs, and firing big guns.
>Which warship did you had/have most fun in?
Iowa and Nagato, I guess.
>Do you play mainly solo or do you div. with other /wowsg/ or friends?
I div when I can.
>Average tier played, do you find higher tiers too passive and boring?
Since I've started playing I always kept going forward without turning back. Currently I'm at tier IX, so the average must be around VII~VIII.
>How do you feel in regards to premium ships? Do they offer a good investment or are they rip offs?
They're good as long as they don't fix hightiers' economy and you care about playing higher tiers, otherwise premium account has better specific value.
>How did you find the grind? Worse or better than WoT? What's your perceived opinion on this matter?
Grind's about the same as WoT, and sometimes it feels even slightly faster because you get more exp per battle, but since battles take much longer if you look at it objectively it might even out.

So yeah, the Type 98 was still 25% faster coming out of the barrel than a brand new 5-incher. This is actually faster than the B-L2M currently used by the Soviet DDs (http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNRussian_51-50_m1936.htm)

T7 seems to be the max, i play T8 now and again but it is meh and lower tiers are fun.
>How do you feel in regards to premium ships? Do they offer a good investment or are they rip offs?
Depends on the ship, Blys is a proper good ship but the Warspite has had nerfs and does take a good player to use to its full potential and some premiums are just utter shit.
>How did you find the grind? Worse or better than WoT? What's your perceived opinion on this matter?

What's the point of Aoba at T6 when the fully upgraded Furutaka is Aoba at T5, with better Torpedo arcs?
>>146867091
Aoba has better RoF and range. And I think better rudder times? Not sure on that one.
I'm sure Furutaka is a great ship, but I have been having a lot of fun with Aoba way before the Furutaka buff, and I'm still very happy with her, so I don't see a reason to downtier. Aoba is just too comfy.
>>146845504
I like cruisers because they're fast and can adapt better than battleships. But I really like Bongou because Bongou is also fast and can adapt to a changing situation, unlike many other low-tier BBs.
I had tons of fun in Aoba, and I'm having tons of fun in Mogami. I was having more fun before the 155mm build was nerfed into the ground, but I'm still having fun. Bongou is also a blast.
I used to mainly div with friends, but they stopped playing, and I'm too autistic to speak in the /vg/ channel, so I play solo.
My average tier is 5, I think. My only experience with tier 9 is in Izumo, which is boring as shit. From what I've seen, tier 10 play is even more boring.But I want my Hotel.
Premium ships seem like a good investment in the long run but I'm too cheap to get one.
Grind is better than WoT. I don't know why, maybe I'm just better at this game. That's not saying much though:
40,816 avg damage, 1146 WTR, 53.40% WR (yes, I'm a shitter)

tbf it would absolutely blow Tashkent out of the water, given it has 1 more turret, better turret turn rate and gun velocity. The only thing Tashkent might have going for it would be speed and, ironically, its torps, since it has 3 banks of triple useable torps against Akizuki's single quad bank.
>>146870579
That said, Akizuki is fucking slow. As in Aoba actually goes a knot faster than her. So unless she turns on a dime like a US DD or her camo is shit, you probably wouldn't want to take her far beyond your allied CAs and BBs without CE and AFT.
