TIL don't buy ship upgrades, because you can't sell the ship again without piasters to remove the upgrades  This means I can never sell four of my ships, and they'll sit around taking up slots until we get some piasters.

Cruisers won't sweat the secondary guns much, but they can definitely hurt destroyers (and are a strong reason for destroyer drivers to get good with torps at range, rather than diving into 2-3km).

Poil posted:Speaking of that, I spotted a juicy battleship all alone and suddenly noticed it wasn't actually moving at all. Several seconds later it was still not so I knew it was safe to force feed it some manual torps even with my abysmal aiming skills. Weird thing is that given its position and the direction it was facing it wasn't someone who went afk at the start. I've seen this (and been that person). Usually it's someone whose connection dropped in mid-battle.

Had a wonderful match in the Fuso last night. I was cruising around the outer edges of the "south Pacific island" map when three Omahas in a squadron together come steaming around into view at extreme range. I manage to put the first one at half-HP in one volley; he goes "what the gently caress was that" in text chat before I sink him with the second volley. The second Omaha dies as fast as the first; two volleys and multiple citadel hits. The third one dies the same way, also complaining in text chat. But the thing that really made the match gold was the fact that while I was busy fighting the Omahas, I realized I had ended up practically on top of the enemy carriers, who were pushing fairly far forward. So I'm laughing and praying I can kill them before their torpedo bombers get back. I'm doing well; I've set both carriers on fire with HE so they can't recover their bombers, and I'm close enough to one of the carriers that my secondaries are tearing big shreds of hull off him while my main guns reload. There's really no path forward for the carriers at this point... Unless one of them does the only logical thing, and turns and rams me, killing us both. Which is exactly what the closer of the two carriers did, in a beautiful illustration of the value of ramming as a last-ditch desperation move. Goodspeed, carrier driver, godspeed and well done.

Saw the funniest thing in a match yesterday: A pubbie in a battleship, slooooowly peeking around and island... firing a volley... and then HITTING REVERSE and slowly, glacially backing up behind the cover of the islands again. Like he was driving a 300-meter tank.

Heh, a pubbie spent half the match yelling at me for going up the left side behind a big island. Then I got three kills and won the match. (He specifically said I'd be useless and there would be nothing there to kill.)

Dalael posted:Never let other players try and dictate where you go while playing a carrier. Most of them don't know any better and have never even played one. In the same match, someone will be bitching that you're not hanging far back enough, while someone else will bitch that you need to be closer. I was in a Fuso  Most of what I killed was at long range. Fuso so good.

Dalael posted:drat. I was under the impression you were in a carrier.. Went behind a bigass island, far enough away that i could shoot over most of it, took a few of them down to half-HP, then popped up behind them while the main group engaged from the other side and nuked 'em while they were distracted. Caught the enemy CV, too.

JuffoWup posted:I don't think it is just their lack of aim. AP shells not always doing damage helps too. I walked away with healf health in my ranger just now because I like to keep near my teammates for faster cycling of planes (not that they need help now that the choice is either a ground pound air group or air superiority group). I feel like when you do get a citadel hit, it does more damage now though? Like, I hit a cruiser in the bow last night and did something like 22k damage.

Velius posted:I'm trying to figure out when battleships become fun too. Fuso basically fires a shotgun of shells. You're slow, inaccurate, and incredibly vulnerable to everything. Fuso has extremely long range. With upgrades, the accuracy becomes pretty decent. If you have good aim, it's probably the best sniper in the game. Nagato has hilariously good secondaries (or did, I think they might've been nerfed in the last patch? I forget) - with appropriate upgrades, you can have like a 7.5 km secondary range that is basically a zone of death for destroyers. In fact, I've killed entire battleships with Nagato secondaries while I was busy killing something else with the main armament. I'm not very far along the US tree, but the New York seems to have pretty good stopping power. YMMV, I guess, but I think battleships are actually pretty cool.

Aramoro posted:Not really, most torpedoes had an arming distance of 360 to 640m controlled by a mechanical mechanism on the torpedo. They just seem to be doing max damage even below 300m. There is an arming distance, but it is very short. I saw a torpedo travel ~100m to a teammate and it did not explode.

I've spent a lot of time dodging torpedo spreads by a gnat's whisker, but the difference between a bad carrier pilot and a good one is super obvious, because a good carrier pilot will lay those things down right next to you and you'll have no chance to dodge.

grrarg posted:The 4.0 public test server is up. The paid consumables are like the standard Repair and Smoke Screen, except they cost 15 gold per battle and have a 33% lower cooldown. On a Kuma, that means the free Repair is 90s cooldown versus 60s for the 15 gold one. That's... less awful than I expected, p2w-wise. I think I'm okay with it?
