Yeah, the squadron coming in from the other side is why you pay attention to its angle and be ready to slam on the brakes to mess with that solution (or just be turning hard enough that it misses)

If I understand correctly, you want to use AP shells for long range combat for the extended range and plunging damage against deck armor. You also want them at short range, because you'll have nice, flat shots at the enemy hulls to puncture all the clanky bits in their floaty parts. At medium range where you can't plunge into the deck armor from above, and where you don't have a good angle for direct fire into their belts, you switch to HE?

You also want them at short range, because you'll have nice, flat shots at the enemy hulls to puncture all the clanky bits in their floaty parts. If you can't punch through the candy shell into the nougat center, fire HE. However, against same tier and same type, AP will pen at most ranges. Cruisers against BBs want to be about at maximum range or like 3 km, but the immune zone for BBs against BBs can be like from 10k to 13k. For reference, immune zone is where you can't plunge through the deck or slam through the belt. You want to be in yours and outside theirs. You can manipulate yours by angling your belt to lower the maximum range it can be penned at.

I am really not good at this game, but my god are some people just awful. What is it with people who slow to a stop to shoot? Watched 3 guys drive into the open and just halt, oddly enough, went poorly for them.

I aim to disable that kind of shitter and tell the guys in my division so if they are close by they can join in the fun. My favorite though are the guys who either intentionally or due to mishap end up parked on a beach.

Soon as it feels like I get a handle on the game, someone quickly reminds me that I don't. Thought I had a guy solid, but I must have been shooting AP shells at him for too long, or was hitting empty spaces, as his shots were hitting a lot harder. I really don't like the tier 1 japanese cruiser though.

You know how tier 1-3 in tanks really don't play by the rules? Yep. Oh and heads up, you can't see it but Japanese cruisers have a big citadel compared to the US, they die faster than their HP would indicate. US are toughish gun cruisers with AA, Japanese are fragileish gun cruisers with a really nasty torp punch if they get close. xthetenth fucked around with this message at 02:43 on Mar 13, 2015 |

The really crazy fun thing is gonna be the German destroyers, which even in WWI had 5.9" guns. They're going to suck so much to aim.

It's gonna be really hard to find a good spot for ships like the Gneisenau and Scharnhorst, the Alaska, or the German Pocket Battleships. Fast, bit less armor than a BB and really puny guns compared to true BBs. After tier 4 everything seems to have 14" guns, where do you put those 11" pea shooters then ?
