First for the cutest.

> plan B

>Fleet chat was very lively today

user, loving your shipfu isn't disgusting at all.

...

what's with this one?

I haven't checked the FB rewards so it might be that, since 5v5 now have a flag reward too.

surprising went well.

Plan B and actual Yamato aren't the same user

It's called Yamato, it's enough for me.

...

...

needs ">2AA" on the hat in the last panel

wew

Which T10 as only 2 AA? Tell me now so I can avoid that line.

Isn't > 2 AA at T9 or are we talking about another ship?

Perhaps user was meaning
>Survived the 2 AA bote
Otherwise haven't the slightest.

Pls no bully

One tit, one AA

ded

no u

...

...

The fleet was fairly not-ded today.

>11

Meme players are coming back to life for some reason.

Maybe Hikago will come back soon too!
Who I'm kidding? He's a fucking leaf kek

>german "heavy" cruiser hipper can be penned by lafag thru the belt armor

>He felt for le kraut's cruisers meem

>implying i wasnt the lafag

Well shit I'm sorry, you are doing good user, keep it up.

how is the livorno?

Pretty good, overall. Just remember she's a BattleCruiser, so expect low armor, high speed, low alpha but a pretty good reload.
Also
>6.1km range at T6

It is Italian.

A made up/pre-littorio.

>not in wikipedia means it's made up.

She's a paper ship, yeah, but not made up.

>tfw you have a game with some No Botes lads
>tfw they know how to sail
>tfw they know how to meme
>tfw they know how to shoot
>tfw you can't reveal who you are for reasons
It was quite a match, lads. A-, would be happy to have on my team again.

Well, thats pretty much how it generally goes, were you around during the times where The Doomstack destroyed T7 and all tiers nearby atleast twice every day?
I'd be surprised if you ran into one of us for the first time today.

There were quite a few returns today. Old faces who stopped by to say hi.
And it was entertaining to see the Goons returned.

And an ex Goon/NBA person who took part in some lion memes in one match that I thought was a for sure loss, down 4-5 ships in a 12v12 before we killed 1, but turned around for a win.

bought it
>memed the fuck out of a benisgola and a myoko in my first round

This was the first time I ran into No Botes, at all. Didn't even know SO had a general until a few days ago.

>goons
cancer

The Repulse aside, are there any prems I ought to have for mad dosh/exp/mining shitter salt?

>are there any prems I ought to have for mad dosh/exp/mining shitter salt?

get a laforey and be like RNG telling the poorfags to stop being so poor and show them your bling

>This was the first time I ran into No Botes
Well, we had two stacks on T4 and another one at T7/8 at the peak, wich one did you ran into?

He was asshurt enough to throw the match, bantz are a valid tactic to achieve victory.

>laforey
>DD
>$50
Yeah nah

m8, literally get into the top 30 of 5v5s

no money required

poorfag pls

The game gives away gold for playing 5v5, loging in every 5 days or so, and various events. There's also the Growth Plan.

I've spent 0 Dollars in this game and I have like 8 prem ships, half a year of VIP time, several permanent paints and other stuff.

Get sheckels from 5v5s and events.
The Agrincourt is a pretty good premium if you enjoy memeing things in one salvo and it can also be used in KTKM for extra silver gainz.
The spaggetboat is also bretty gud according to comments about it.

>wich one did you ran into?
Likely the T4's, as I was taking my bong BB out for a sail. I was "SeagoingSergal". I'm sorry.

>bantz are a valid tactic to achieve victory.
Goddamn right they are.

This is your fault

I had nothing to do with that and I avoid /shill and cancerposting general/ at all costs.

I think you said "get rekt" or something like that to the enemy in the match you ran into us.

You faggot told us about the shitstorm at /wtg/, don't lie!

>all that shitposting due to one post

typical /wtg/

If you are going to spend $$ on this game.
Get the growth plan.

The recharge packs give 2x returns the first time you each of them.
Growth plan can use the $13.6 pack, which gives 2x the first time you get it (so $27.2 return instead of the normal $13.6)
and then use 10.8k of that gold on the plan. Becomes becomes 22.8k and 172k free XP as you go up in tiers.(Claimed at T4,5,6,7,8)

It used to have a limiter of "You have to choose to get this before you research T5" but they removed that with the patch.

Caught me dead to rights It was me, Austin. It was me all along. :^)

I don't know why that thread is even allowed to exist, really. If the mods nuked /kspg/ for shitposting, why is /wtg/ spared I wonder..

That's really good info. I never really looked at the gold stuff much, but now I'm giving it much more thought. Thanks.

That guy's been workin overtime lol.
Hadn't even really looked at wtg till today.

>Did post there once today
>Was asked "How much are they paying you"
>Got to reply with I do it for free ))))))

The gold plan is the ONLY thing I would spend money on, every thing eles can be procured in game though shit like 5v5s

funny thing is, /wowsg/ is laughing at them

but their game is horrible too. why is this game dead again?

>every thing eles can be procured in game though shit like 5v5s

The growth plan too.

Chinks can't into marketing

Chinks couldnt into advertising and they got countershilled by wargaming.

Yeah the growth plan looks to be about the only thing of real merit.

Nips can't market anything to save their lives. See also: their actually fun tank game Final Fire

That Final Fire game looks hype as fuck

It plays like wot, but it kind of doesn't? There's shell drop, and angling the armor actually helps you in some cases.

AFV's, Humvee's, lights, mobile gun systems(think Stryker), rockets and atgm carriers..

Hell, you can even drive a sandnigger pick-up truck technical and spam HMG and grenade fire if that makes you hard.

I rather enjoy how the research in FF alters the tanks appearance in more than just slight passing changes. New turrets, gun barrels, hulls... really hoping for an eng patch.

I forgot; ERA armor consumables. No really. If the tank can fit it, you can buy some and it'll tank some of the HEAT/HE damage that gets thrown your way.

It's dirt cheap, costs in-game silver and if you don't buy it? It won't hold you back or be a detriment to you.

This.

Wargaming effectively silenced youtube coverage of the game

If you search "Steel Ocean" on youtube, most of the content came out in November, when the game came out (12th) and a few weeks after and then just... Nothing.

>Puts on Tinfoil Hat
>Points to the Tinfoil Hat
>Adjusts the hat and carries on

Basically WG pulled a "We will revoke your press account status" act, and being that content creators make tons of $ from WG, it obviously worked.

One example I can point to: IChaseGaming
His sail and chat series that comes out monthly-ish. Episode 11 took place November 14 and covers SO a bit just a "hey look at this!" Overal tone is cheerful enough.
>See pic
Episode 12, the next month. He effectively rips Warships a new one. Heavily critiquing the game, his relative cheerfulness has taken a hit, or is gone.
Kind of fits this picture. AND is the video that has been removed from the playlist as shown in picture. He effectively describes "Warships could do this, and/or this ___, and/or this ___!" while describing Steel Ocean without stating "Steel Ocean"
and he mentions AA in Navyfield and how if you were a cruiser escorting BB's you might be purely focused on AA.. and then defensively "Not talking about navyfield!! Just talking about it a moment, back to warships!"

Why the sudden change of tone and overal enthusiasm for Warships? ... Could you maintain the same enthusiasm if you were threatened?

Ep 12.

>Removes Tinfoil hat
And Changyou's been slow to advertise the game outside of China.

>I rather enjoy how the research in FF alters the tanks appearance in more than just slight passing changes. New turrets, gun barrels, hulls

That's also present in SO m8

Anyways, that's my Point of view on the matter.
A bit of speculation, and I can't recall one particular Content Creator who did flat out comment on Wargamings practices.. So can't reference him to substantiate the claims a little more and make it a little less
>Tin Foil Hat

You could also look up the 'inner workings leak' that had occured when one of the main people for Wargaming was hired on my Armoured Warfare. (Claimed WG was paying people to make accounts to call the game shit in the forums, in game, on comment pages of youtube/social media, etc.)

anyways. :^) This game is entertaining to me, and I've been working to keep it alive.

Thabks user I'll have a go at it, seems the Chinese website has some English text hopefully I don't have to go though that Chinese id shit again.

>one of the main people for Wargaming was hired on my Armoured Warfare
you mean the guy who wanted polish tanks?

i can't use him as a reliable source because even Armored Warfare itself is dead.

...

Good times were had today, lots of memers invaded the queues.

Good night /sog/

>face BigGook and friends

Late with reply because I fell asleep but yeah I know which match you're talking about, was quite fun.

There's always a place in our autism fleet if you want memes to reach the roof.

Was it the match you posted earlier?

Nope, but the one we were memeing about PT boats.

t. Techno

When will this game be shut down?
Let it end already

Probably when Ricepicking Overlord runs out of Laforeys to sell.

>Deal more than double his dmg, slightly less assist dmg
>he still gets MVP by 400 exp

That's why you skip past T6 cancerfest with free xp :^)

>say no more senpai

>big ass platform
>no plons or heavy AA battery

>be Kagero against Asashio
>meme him in 2 salvos

Well

I'll make it work. You'll see...

That thing reeks of suffering bote, god speed user.

It's like she was born as a Fishing trawler but her biggest dream was to become a battleship.

>follow your dreams

...

Battlecruisers are fun as fuck.

You basically never stop and manuver like a motherfucker.

Nice change of pace from usual smoke bomb art gallery

What did he mean by this?
