World of Warships Enters Open Beta!

TechLarry said:
Once I took the last upgrade slot off of the range increase and put it on AA instead, my hit percentage went WAY the fuck up. WAY WAY up.

So, I can hit ok at 24k but can't hit shit at 29k. Fine. I can live with that :)

I get a lot of shatters though. The 4 point capt skill for HE doesn't seem to help.

And I can't believe you have to fucking PAY to get guns that are less successful. Fucking WarGamming. I had to pay the damn 34000 research fee on the pos just so I could start stacking free xp amd captains points on it. This kind of shit really pisses me off.

All that aside, damn what a fun ship. The rudder upgrade is absolutely mandatory on this one though. Man, she really has a tough time turing.

Don't use IFHE on the conq, you really don't need it.

Shell flight characteristics on this boat are wonky. Its brutally hard to land shells at range...And I have the highest avg dmg on NA in the boat, but Ill totally admit its a fucking struggle to land shells.

BTW... What is your average damage?
 
Jesus... I'm around 75k. I find The Conqorer tends to get focused a lot. I've been trying to stay in the 15-22k range for that reason. My max range is around 24k, but anything over 22k is REALLY hard to land good salvo's on.

This is definitely not a brawler ship. She gets eaten up too fastmm=9

No, IFHE only changes how much armor you can pen, I believe the 16" shells have no problem penning any deck or superstructure (maybe midway hak decks are different though)

The 16's are the option shells, right? Do you find them better or worse than the standard shells?
 
Couple of highlight games from yesterday :p

The 16s are the stock guns, I find I do about the same damage with both the 4x3s and the 4x2s(18"), I like both :)

The 419mm option gives you 12 shells to throw instead of just 8 from the 457mm. That's a massive difference in alpha damage, potential hit percentage and fire chance over the 457s. I think they should drop the 419s entirely but then again I think they should redo the whole fucking line from the ground up, too. The last few new tech tree lines have been a fucking abomination of piss poor game design.
 
Fucking Minotaur LOL

I hate it when the other team has one of these fire-breathing spam machines, so I decided to take mine out for a spin.

About 90 sec in one lone shell from somewhere I couldn't even see and....

Fucking DETONATED.

LOL

It's back in the garage :)

That’s total luck based :p has nothing to do with the Minotaur! I just punched out a 220k game a couple of days ago

Aw, man! The Santa Boxes SUCK !!!!!

I already have every ship being given away. EVERY one of them.

Yeah I watched someone open $175 worth and only got four super containers... I'll pass.

Last year it was like every third or fourth container something awesome would pop up.
 
I bought 40 of the 99c boxes because it has FreeXP, the rest didn't list it.

I'm off to open the goodies now :)
 
Ok, I didn't bother counting all the typical flags because I already have hundreds of them.

Out of 40 containers:

18 containers had 50 Zulu flags. WTF WG ?
ZERO,NADA, NOT ONE fucking Sierra Mike Flag (my favorite flag). Double WTF WG ?

Ok, now for the good stuff.

2100 Dablooms
60,000 in Free XP
40 Icy Frost or whatever they are camo's. The bonus's look good on them.

Now, did I loose or come ahead? I have no idea. The monetization of WG games is so damn complicated I don't think anyone knows.
 
I got a bunch of the frosty fir camos and some of the special flags. There are only 6 premium ships available from the crates that I don't have (Kidd, Mutsu, Gallant, Hood, Alabama and Duca)
 
I think there are more than that.

I said screw it and bought 20 super santa's.

I got two ships that weren't listed (I don't think).

1. The KII
2. The Giulio Cesare

I always wanted the Giulio but IIRC it was a special edition ship you had to win, and I missed it.

I also got 4000 in Dabbies, and what must a fucking record, THREE HUNDRED frosty fir's :)

And some other misc stuff. Lots of the high end grinding flags.

Those frosty fir's are really valuable.

Was it worth $74.95? I have no idea. I have so much (horrifically so much) money tied up in this game it don't matter much. I should be good for at least 6 months :)

Flamu got gifted 20 super santa's, and that guy fucking cashed OUT. He got like 6 ships, hundreds of Frosty Fir's, and 180 days of Premium. Along with other stuff.

The $60,000 in free XP I got from the 99c boxes puts me REAL close to getting my Montana :)

I'm starting to run out of shit to progress through. I've stopped on the Pan asians because after Tier 7 or 8, which is where I am, they are just duplicates of us ships until T10. I'd love to have the T10 pan asian but I don't want to waste XP getting there right now. Montana comes first.

I have pretty much researched everything else in the game so far.
 
Did the Conqueror get nerfed?

I played an entire game and set ONE fire. That just ain't right for that ship This is post update.
 
first non holloween pve match in 6 months.. 100k damage and a kraken in the fiji.. yup games still easy.. now give me my god damn free 10 days of premium wargaming!
 
Wow, the Cesare is fucking amazing!

This thing just shits all over cruisers. In one game I killed 2 cruisers at around 14k with one salvo. As the great Samuel L. Jackson would say...

It appears the chance of seeing a carrier in Ranked is about fucking NIL, so I have completely re-configured my Kidd as a pure gun boat.

Make sense?

Update: What happens after I neuter all the AA and build guns? Carriers, of course.

LOL

Im torn on the Giulio Cesare. Its fast and nimble, but its guns are troll. I line up perfect shots and dispersion looks good, but I bracket targets worse than the Dunk. I want to like it, Im just not there yet. Though I was the same for the Nelson, and now that boat is my baby.

It's exactly why I don't think it is overpowered despite all the fucking cries about it. "oooh, but it's 4% higher average win rate and 10k higher average damage" yeah, because good players are playing the fucking thing instead of playing the New York or other Tier 5 BBs.

The dispersion, often times, is like casting a net. There is a TON of bracketing and shots you aim low with still somehow end up going high while the shots you send into the superstructure or belt armor end up skipping on the water uselessly. Having played a fuck ton of matches in the ship already I can say it's remarkably temperamental even by battleship standards.

The gun handling characteristics are very much like the North Carolina, for those looking to draw a comparison. The lead feels the same and the way they connect on targets feels the same as well. I've actually done this a few times where I play the Cesare and then the following match in the NC and the similarities are interesting.

edit: Oh, and I literally have like 40 screenshots of the detailed shell ribbons showing 50-80% overpen ratio with the Cesare. And usually about 50% of the regular shell pens do half damage (~1600dmg) or none at all. Yes, it's a fantastic ship, but don't jump in expecting it to blow up the ocean. It's still what battleships tend to be: an exercise in patience.

it was suppose to be 10 days premium but instead i got 25 more flags then they were already going to give for free because they fucked up.. woopty do.. was going to use the premium time over the next 3 off days to see if i wanted to go back to playing but yeah can't be bothered to add flags to every single one of my ships just to get the effect as basic premium.

Fuck, dude...lol. Do you take you time, sticking within the repair circle and stroll in? I find being very aggressive is fucking awesome even in the Atlanta, though the Scharnhorst is my baby in this

Just buy a weekend pass.
 
Ok, I have two lines I can go up. Pan Asian (at Tier VIII and not impressed) or the French Line. I think I'm at T6 and I don't really remember much about it.

Which one do I go up, or should I start stacking free XP for the next unknown tree?
 
Yea, I try to be very aggresive until I get into the harbor, where I turn right instead of left (where the agile comes from) and use my team for spotting and meatshielding.

But so far, I been enjoying the shinyhorse, nelson, indie, and loltanta in the operations.

I did this last night.wow that was fun.

What’s with this only playing a ship ONCE Bullshit ?
 
Once every half hour. So, you can change it up or play 75k credits to do it again.
 
Man, this is the worst Ranked season for me yet. I started at Rank 15 (was supposed to be rank 10... wtf...) anyway, I've played like 20 games and I'm at... Rank FIFTEEN !!!!

I've never seen such 50/50 matchmaking ever. One game with a good group, the next a sack of potatoes. Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. Good thing 15 is locked in or i'd probably be at rank 80 by now lOL

This really is frustrating.
