Had an interesting game with the Gneisenau where all of the enemy BBs went to a single cap point and came out one by one.

Did 4 torp runs at each of their BBs, got 2 hits on the Texas, 1 on the Scharn, and 1 on the Konig. Had torps on the way for the New Mex, but the game ended before they got to the BB.

Also love that I did a full salvo at an Omaha at 6 km boardside with engines dead and only did 5 overpens.

Lol, nice. You'll love this dance I did against two New Mexicos in the Scharnhorst that I'll be posting soon. The offensive flexibility of a ship that is basically a cruiser with battleship armor can not be understated
 
Know what German BBs don't over pen? The kooter. I've been wiped out completely from full HP twice. Once a tirp and once a Bismark. I noticed twice now I have hit smoke and nothing happens (once being the Bismark slaughter). I hit it a good five times over 4 seconds and it finally took after a while.

So have to be more careful about that!

Still at 72% win rate over 28 games in ranked with the kooter. I love going in with the DDs to the edge of the cap, popping smoke and hydro. Feels like cheating.

Man, the BB Buff in .2 really must have improved that ship too !!! That thing was one sad sack of bolts when I was grinding to the Bismark, and everyone was complaining about how bad it was at that time. I personally thought it was the worst ship in the game.
 
Anyone run the Friederick Der Grobe yet? What's worse/better than the Bismark?

This is one of the rare times I'll be keeping the previous ship and starting up a new captain. The Bismark has earned a place in the Garage permanently :)

high velocity shells op, lol. great for when shooting an up-tiered BB at close range, sucks for shooting a CA. citadeling iowa's at 9km or less with the gneisenau is hilarious while you bounce all the iowa's shells off the front of your ship.
 
Is the Grobe better with a Gun setup, or is it better with a Secondary setup like the Bismark?
 
3rd ghetto solo warrior. They had 5 ships left, but we had all 3 caps & a huge point lead. I just ran away, like a little bitch, since I knew they couldn't stop 2 of the caps.

The lolanta in full effect, got some in-game salt, and even postgame message salt! New damage high in atlanta for me, by a pretty long way, previous high I think was ~125k. Was about 10 seconds from kraken and flesh wound as I had set a fresh fire on the last kongo with my dying salvo, but we capped out (or timed out, not sure which hit first). Did damage to 10 ships. Side note, epicenter mode in trident is a blast. Perfect map for it. We were down at one point but 3 or 4 ships, but we stayed on the cap while they went around the outside.

Dam dude, 3.9k BASE XP? No way around it, that was one hell of a game, and in the Atlanta no less!
And cowards in this game don't hide behind islands, they go to the map corners and never come out.
 
Yeah, I went straight into the inner cap circle and never left it for virtually the entire game, it's not like I was raining fire from outside towards the mid.
 
Leningrad - Holy SHIT what a gun boat !!!

I'm not nuts about the det range or the torps, but I have never, EVER sunk a T7 BB, on my own, with only HE guns from a DD.

And I was getting Citadel after Citadel on their carrier at 8k.

You will NOT last the game, but you'll sure wreak havoc while you're alive :)
 
Something about the game I don't like. If you are in CCB with a DD, you don't see their torps launched :(
 
Had my last game with the Gneisenau, one of the most bi-polar ships in this game.

That Hiryu would not fuck off. Felt good killing his ass.
 
Also had one of those WTF 5 vs 5 tier 10 games. This was at 9:30 PM PRIME TIME!

Atleast I did pull my weight.

Ranked chewed me up and spit me out today.

Started at rank 10. Managed to MM myself back to rank 12. Didn't win a single match ALL DAY. This shit is rigged. I feel it in my bones :)
 
I'd like to see Ranked go 12 v 12. You can't make shit for money in 6 v 6 games.

And is it just me, or does the Mogami have some of the hardest hitting HE in the game? Those things just piss me right off when they do the old invisi-fire routine. It's like it only takes one hit to set your BB ablaze.
 
I think I see why the German BB's are more gun effective now.

The way I see it, there are two different planes of dispersion. The width plane (left to right, or for and aft of the ship) and the distance plane (forward to back, or before and after the ship).

I don't see there is much difference in the width dispersion. it still goes well on the bow and stern, and beyond.

But the distance dispersion seems to have been greatly improved. Even in the Turpitz. It used to be you'd see your volly splash short and long, but not on, target. Now more of those shells are ON target.

I'll take it whatever they did :)
 
I have always thought the same, that there are 2 dispersion effects. the left/right, and long/short (distance).

gotta remember that in real life, not every shell (for can guns), or bag of powder (for bag guns, usually the larger guns) had the same amount of powder in them. Can shells probably had a lot more control over the powder during manufacturing than the bags where capable of. Also, with the bag guns, an older bag may not have the same 'boom' as a new bag.

lets not forget, the amount of elevation change to effect a 10 or 20 yard difference isn't much.

Yeah, but before the patch the Tirpitz was the Turdputz. No amount of powder dampness could explain the shit that thing would come up with :)
 
How many shells did they shoot at the Bismark? Wasn't it around 2200 and only a handful hit.

2800 shells were fired over a period of 2 hours 380 16", 339 14", 782 8", 716 6" 660 5.25" estimated between 300-400 shells hit. mind you most of the fight happened within 9000 meters.

Camerons deep sub filming shows the rudder got pushed over into the prop and the prop ate it up. And it 's clear that WG has carefully and accurately modeled the Bismarck's shitty rudder :)
 
Holy shit banana.

Also ...why I usually stop around rank 5... Actually getting some work done while I wait. I did a random in my kooter and had a 174k loss :(

Also.... I had the highest exp on either team. My highest dmg match actually. 225k loss.

"I did a random in my kooter "

I honestly did not know where that was going.... A mis-placed [H]ard Steve entry I thought.
 
I dont know what I hate more, ranked or random. Nothing but fucktarded teams in both.
Honestly, I need to stop playing. The useless fucking cunts I get every match. A dozen random battles tonight, and aside from the 2 in my new(fucking garbage) montana, I have taken top spot. Two back to back 200k losses where the next highest player on my team didnt even break 600xp. Im fucking tired of trying to carry these cocksuckers on my own every fucking game.

The big problem is ranked. You can't make enough income to make it worth the hassle. I got ships to pay for :)

credits are not my problem. I havent been playing ranked as my broken hand has slowed me down, but randoms, randoms have been shit despite doing very well.
 
Why do carriers get shit on so hard? Had a 165K game in the Ryujo, got only 1700 base xp out of it, 17 torp hits, 4 kills, ends up with 248k credits, 1700base xp. No wonder carriers aren't popular.

I make a lot of $$ in ranked,I mainly play the Kutuzov, Atago, or Tirpitz :p just last nite had a game where I Cleared over 500k after costs.
