2nd for subs

Leave

Fuck subs.

Hello there.

Such a great ship in this game.
Queen Elizabeth, that is.

...

And that would be my first and last T10 game.

why?

Forgot pic.

...

...

get

this bote can be fun

>on craptop, minimum graphics
>sea is plain blue, can't see if enemy ship's moving
eternally fucked

What's the Foghorn channel for? Why do I need 500g just to talk?

>Notice an opportunity.
>Jump on it.

it broadcasts to anybody in game/port in the mini-chatbox above chat.

Like you might see in other games, to advertise fleets, or channels, or whatever.
Doesn't often get used.

everyone sees it, even people in battle, and it stays there for a while. For example you want to promote your fleet, or you are a Russian and really want to have everyone see )))))

it allows everyone to see the message, even if in a match. I've only seen one person use it, he was plugging his youtube channel

Like the scrolling yellow text dev messages? Still pretty neat though.

Thanks for the answer famalams, much appreciated

>he wasn't there for ))))

no problem senpai

np

...

Worst DD desu

HEY HEY YOU YOU

If you keep trying to trigger me freedom, I'll reveal your secret.

What's it's secret?

...

>page 10 (ten)

no 5v5 today then right?

Logged in and everything was ded.

yeah, T-that guy was the worst.

>tfw starting subs
>tfw this is fucking suffering
Who does this to themselves?

...

Why do you think that we call them subhumans?
Fun fact: nearly all of the sub mains have winrates barely above 40%
I honestly wonder why do they keep playing subs.

wew

>sub mains
there aren't people who actually do this are there?

Subhumans are a thing.

...

If you're really assblasted you can do this too I guess

...

don't sink

It's dead.

Tsk. not yet we aint.

Hey I have a 50% winrate and average almost one kill a game on sub :^)

Well shit... I forgot to mention it when it was current, and now we've shifted so it isn't as relevant, but for a time there..
For a short time.
>We were 11's again.
God help us all.

It's happening

oh by the way.. it is
>Chinese insulting Japanese
>Japanese Insulting Chinese
>Koreans being insulted by everyone
time in SO.

Got a few .. probably a few more of these, but will stick to just one for now.

In the end there was actual 'i am sorry' and shit too, was interesting to watch from a farwhile poking with a stick a times.

>Perhaps a ship you want to see?

Could happen, someday perhaps.

Go away FBI

Is it true that the misty areas on some maps increase disguise?

DO NOT DIE ON ME

ded

why can neptune do this

...

FBI stop baiting I'll never fall for it

Yes, and they can lead to some funny/oh shit moments while playing with and versus DD.

true Untermenschen

Got pounded by a goy yesterday and he was popping out at less than 2,5 km

I wish I were a bote

...

For lewd or for cute?

What music do you listen to when playing ISIS simulator?
youtube.com/watch?v=inN9a4uBG_g

So that's how a german looks before getting multiculturalized huh?

ETA on Russian botes?

How are the ships in brit BC line? Are they competitive with BBs at high tiers?

Renown is shit tier, haven't seen much of T7+

They're probably going to ignore it like they do the Facebook

Is this game dead? makes me think it is, my internet is pretty slow and it'll take a while to download. Don't want to waste time if I can't ever get into decently populated games. Is it just higher tiers that are not populated?

Depends when you queue.Most of the time when you pick high tier, people will gladly join up since they have to level them too.

Asking in chat is a good way too, especialy when queueing as CV.

Around 50 in queue right now :)
Most of the time it's 15~20
Not dead, but certain on the empty side

T8+ are highly populares in yuro time, and in NA time they are populares on demand (once one or two guys enter queue, the other high Tier lurkers join).

At los and mid tiers you'll have no problems unleds you queue CV/SS (the MM always tries to match versus another CV/SS)

I want a bote to carry my rape baby

>tfw we win because Draco wastes his time dancing with me

...

...

>phone is 100% compatible with android KC
Should I?

The chink copy is actually superior
Just like SO and ISIS simulator

lmaoh

how common is botting in this game?

just got the Ning Hai and at least 5 players were going around in circles and not firing...

Those are probably official bots from T1 to T3.

They're actualy AI players mate

good to know....might as well grind at the lower tiers for a bit since tier 5+ is just meh.

...

>tfw you spot a unpainted lafagoy at 4 km

Speaking of paint, what are these things for and how do I unlock them?

>chink lafagoy at max range
>gets into his goysmoke while actively dodging
>make a crazy prediction and fire
>one shot him

We just dont know.

>The MM always tries to match versus another CV/SS
True, but it does not always require it. there is no '1-1 locked MM'. So you could wind up with matches where they have no CV, or of course the other way around.. but the CV in that case, unless squadded, spent a bit of time to get in there.

As you've already noticed.. you get through the first few tiers very quickly. Which is nice for some things (Events at T5, or FB's T2-4, faster credit gains.) but horrible if you are a relatively unnoticed game trying to hold onto new players that arrive.

Since they'd download, launch, want to play something and then wait for a long time (2,5,10 minutes depending) because everybody else gets through those matches so quickly, and then usually just Free-XP's past future T1-2 ships when they swap lines.

So new players had it rough (Veteran players would often post "looking for more T1-2" to just get them matches.) and often dropped the game (See the hemorrhaging steamchart).

This patch returned AI to fix that a bit. And sure they aren't the smartest, but they exist to speed T1-3, and provide practice dummies effectively. Since the patch numbers have been rising significantly.

>True, but it does not always require it. there is no '1-1 locked MM'. So you could wind up with matches where they have no CV, or of course the other way around.. but the CV in that case, unless squadded, spent a bit of time to get in there.

That only happens from T7+ IIRC.
Remember certain RJ's 25 mins queue.

Was re-watching the trailer for the game.
youtube.com/watch?v=iz7PROUhux0
40s in you see the Bismarck
47s in you see the HMS Hood
Shortly thereafter, we see historical accuacy.
))))
I completely forgot that occured in their trailer!

>scenario mode
Is it fun?

IF you can get into a match. I think so.

Effectively a large team death match where everyone has no commanders and has premium consumables, and infinite lives.

US tries to kill AI-controlled Transport ships before they reach beach-heads.

Japan exists to slaughter everything while under the guise of defending their Transport ships

But it provides a neat look at mid tier ships you might not yet have. Pick your ship type, queue up, and hope to get 28 or so other players.

When the game population picks up more could see it being filled faster and therefore more
>Fun.

Rewards are Free XP, and there is no weekly mission to complete for it like other events.

Thanks, I think I'll try to queue it right now and hope for a match

>From Steel Ocean Twitter, which just became a thing.
>Dev "What ships do you want to see?"
>Certain person says,"Graf Zeppelin"
>Dev replies with chinese that translats to "Another Graf Zeppelin . . Kita \ (≧ ▽ ≦) /。。Seriously, she is in our plan..."

We could be having a Graf in Overlord, and then likely the tech tree itself.almost guaranteed premium

Ask for German destroyers.

I dont have a twitter

He wrote japanese actually, which is kinda curious
