All I did was take out three DDs and half a cruiser IIRC. XP must be mainly based on % of hp of a ship.
Yep. Nice match!
Congrats to Chibe, too!

Man I just love this little fart of a ship!
Finally had a great game with my Zao. A 203k damage dealt game.
I thought the Mogami was badass.
14 fires, that's hilarious. You annoyed someone to death.
That's awesome. Pretty impressive with a T1.
I could see Wargaming eventually making an all inclusive air/land/sea game. I'd love to for a BF1942 remake.
I got my groove back with carriers last night. For some reason I was doing terrible after switching from EU.
I like the jap carriers, have a T6. 1 fighter, 2 torp, 2 dive bombers. What I like to do is torp a BB with one set of planes to cause flooding. Wait until he uses repair then send the rest in. Got first blood on a Colorado doing this. I get some kind of sick joy in watching them burn/flood to death.
I sold all my carriers for the slots and coin.
I just couldn't get into it because you aren't allowed to load them as you see fit.
sold mine because they suck, and the patch didn't do anything to make IJN CV's any better.
as far as the loadouts, they're accurate to what the normal loadouts of the actual CV's were. if you start allowing people to customize loadouts on CV's ya might as well just let people select what ever guns they want on their ships as well..
New round of user replays went up. Some really good action out there
Hey Chibe
Saw you driving that Zoa around last night, I was doing horrible as usual.
I got a buddy that is pretty decent though.
We have a ventrilo server if any one is interested.
Somewhere in there they made IJN Torps more like US Torps. They used to spread out, I like them better now where they all travel parallel.
I think I am going to stay on T6 for a while. I want the five point skill for an extra plane. . IJN benefits more than US since we have four plane squadrons... I get five extra planes in the air where U.S. only get three. The T10 IJN looks sweet. So many squadrons.
I like more squadrons because it's more versatile. It's also hard for one squadron of US fighters to stop four of my bombers. Tihehe. At the higher tiers you have enough reserve planes sometimes I get them killed on purpose so I can launch more into the air and get more dmg out.
on paper the T10 is amazing, actually using it, it's a piece of crap.. once you hit T10 USN/IJN ships have so much AA that you're basically just doing suicide runs hoping 1 or 2 squads of torps actually make it to drop on their target.
T5/6 is the sweet spot for IJN carriers, after that it's all down hill. none of the changes did anything to help IJN carriers.. because while fixing the problem with IJN carriers they double buffed USN carriers so it's right back to square one.
Ahh that makes sense and sucks.
Right now carriers are in my top ranked ships... Given I only played a few games with them.
I also couldn't resist that Polish DD. Let me tell you that thing is a beast.
My friend and I were both rolling new mexicos last night.
Had one hell of a game
Double Strike
Devastating strike
first blood
high caliber
confederate
Kraken
I only managed 145k damage though.
I dont really like the mexico, as its feels like its soaked in molasses, but when supported its really mean. My friend and I both sail side by side and front gun push enemies, coordinate it so we both offset when we swing the back end to use rear guns. Anyone on the other end is constantly under fire from our AP.
Not much gets more fun than the Fuso though. I have the nagato, but I play the fuso more.
I got out of my Aoba at last....and holy shit, the Myoko is a fucking beast. Its been a month or so since I played my new orleans or baltimore, and holy shit, the myoko in its first game landed me 11 citadels.

I was really surprised when I had a 26k slavo against a Tirpitz in my New Mex. I got within 8km shooting HE at his Tirpitz buddy and I think they wrote me off (also hid my broadside). Then switched to AP and hit him under the smoke stacks. I had their attention after that. I did around 90k dmg which I was happy with considering it was a T8 game.
Droc, how'd you manage the double strike? Secondaries? Or only used some guns on one ship and switched to the other? Not sure why I am curious, just am.
When a ship is close to dead , I tend to fire one turret at a time on bbs. Maybe like that? Or he had set some fires.
Double Strike is quite the accomplishment in a BB even firing one turret, with the transverse so long you really have to have everything lined up just right.
I wish I could have front and rear turrets locked to different targets a lot of times but that would bring complexity to the game.
Ok, what's next for me?
Candidates:
US Cruiser New Orleans
IJN Cruiser Mogami
Ger Cruiser Yorck
US Battleship Iowa
IJN Battleship Nagato
US DD Fletcher
IJN DD Fubuki
So. What brings the best play for the xp ?
I saw Chibe in his Zao last night. Let me tell you do those guns have some velocity on them. I love high velocity guns... Since you have a IJN cruiser line if I was you I'd probably go after the Zao .
Personally I am going after the Montana. Then maybe US DD T10.
Yeah DDs are a blast. I was sort of bummed the 3x XP ended before New Years. I got my Iowa, even stock I like it a lot more than the North Carolina. Pens ships way better.
I think DDs are my favorite class of ships. I like to get in close.... Even in my Iowa I usually end up 10km away.
Doesn't the Gearing have the fastest, most bad ass guns in the game ?
