The cutest.

Yodo!

Was looking into basic naval tactics and I ended up at
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossing_the_T

And then noticed the gif that's now posted here.

And how despite it being very basic tactics, somehow this game has them properly while Warships has broadsides being "A Bad Position to be in".

Just what the hell were they thinking?

Selective realism.

And now you know why certain ships have all their guns on the front, among other variables.

Doesn't this completely fuck up weight balance and usually require creative engineering to overcome?

>Doesn't this completely fuck up weight balance
Yes

>usually require creative engineering to overcome?
If by overcome you mean "can't fire all of it guns" it was overcome. AFAIK, the problem with the nelson was that one of it guns completely fucked everyone in the ship or something like that.

Must have been a damn cute bow.

I do love removing every hope a CV has.
Subjecting his allies to wave after wave of planes until the CV is left the only one remaining.

Don't you die on me again.

...

>tfw good game as terrible player

What do you mean?

Reminder that Portland, Kaga 1924, Anshan, and some kraut sub are 30% off right now. Be a good goy and treat yourself :^)

Having a match where I do more than 1k damage and actually pick up a few kills!

What tier were you playing?

IV

In what class of ship?

Want to stack?

Kongou

Sorry, taking a break. I don't play that much anyway.

Well jap BBs do take some getting used to, and if you're new you also need to get comfortable with leading targets and reading movement patterns so that sounds like a nice match you had.

The movement patterns are probably the hardest thing to figure out. A simple turn still gets me 90% of the time

Elderbot has come down from the mountain with a new Q&A from his Chinese overlords

Q: Can we get additional paint styles for both Gold and Standard ships?
A: Yes, we are currently working on additional paint jobs for both Gold and Standard ships.

Q: Can we get the ability to filter ships by tier level?
A: Yes, we are currently working on this ability.

Q: Can we have the following added to Fleet administration:
- A communication page where rules, announcements or events can be posted.
- Additional fleet rank positions.
- An auto-fleet welcome message system, where a message from fleet administration will be displayed in chat as the first message received after a fleet member log's into game.
A: We're in the process of rebuilding the fleet system.

Q:Can you make the Commander Portraits available as official steam avatars so users can show their support in their profiles?
A: I want this too! It has been mentioned months ago; I will push for it.

Q:How do I change the color of the targeting circle?
As a recommendation, can you ask the developers to add in a Color Blind mode?
A: Coming soon! We are almost finished with a tool for this.

Q:This game needs much more advertisement; why are you not promoting it?
A: Sorry; but at this time there is not sufficient funding.

Q:Scenario Mode is a Bust; can we increase award payout to get more players to play it?
A: We agree and the team is looking into how to increase player participation.

Q:Will there be a Soviet fleet/a ship or two added?
A: Of course!

Q:Why dose the Fleet flag cost twice the amount as the Nation flags?
A: Because you can DIY the Fleet flag.

>A: We're in the process of rebuilding the fleet system.
This might the best thing, current fleet system seems like a showcase or a prototype of the finished product.

>Sorry; but at this time there is not sufficient funding.
So that's why...

Everything else is stupid and a waste of questions.

Nelson's design with all turrets forward of the bridge was mostly as a weight saving measure. The Washington Naval treaty halted the construction of the N3 class battleships, (A & B turrets like Nelson's, X Turret was amidships and forward facing, incapable of firing direct aft) and the battleships allowed to the RN were limited to maximum of 35k tons displacement. The battle of Jutland had proven that magazine hits could blow up the entire ship, and so protection was prioritized over the main magazines. Putting all three turrets forward of the bridge meant that they were closer together and so the belt armor could be really thick over a smaller length, saving weight. Similarly the machinery was put at the back for that purpose as well, with the boilers being behind the engines so the engines could fit inside the armored citadel.

Fleets are pretty good in this game desu, look at various MOBAs and FPS and their clan features are extremely lacking, if such a thing even exists at all.

Won't deny that, but what you said doesn't have anything to do with what I said.
Current fleet menu is filled with things that aren't implemented yet, a large part of it isn't available yet in fact, and it's been months like that.

T-crossing being improperly represented in KC triggers my autism.

Interesting...

I've seen the topic of colorblind modes appearing in quite a few vids for this, and other games. And misc social areas (forums, etc)

So if they can get something decent enough working could see it helping.

Does does every CV commander have something related to Dive Bombers? Is this some sort of trick?

At what time does the day reset?

Can't remember if in 1 hour and half or 2 hours and half.

22 minutes from my post

Some British guy once told me that DBs were a thing.

I want to bully her

I've seen plenty of that first hand and they are not a thing

So have I user, so have I

Bumb

Goodnight /sog/ don't die

No, they're not.

Why not?

yeah,

...

How is it represented there?

If you T-cross them both sides get buffed damage, if they T-cross you both sides get nerfed damage.

So what's the veredict on bong BCs?

I dont like it.

How would you picture Scharnhorst?

German hyper tomboy. With a dick.

There is the edgy one, this one, and.. a klutz one.
To name a few notables.

Body between Bisko and Prinz, maybe a bit genky because muh speed, graf-like hair.
It better have glasses.

alrighty, good night all! See you tomorrow.
