>Kutuzov a shit

>atagoy a awesome
>was never nerfed
>printz a shit, one of the objectively weaker t8 prem
>?????
altho I'm still getting over her unique flag having bikini atol on it, she should get a historical accurate buff

>Kutuzov
Are you fucking retarded?

when it was first launched it had just under 15km range, so it was balanced to 19 of today

I'll ask again

Are you retarded?

do you need a referral code playtogether.worldofwarships.com/invite/Eegm6lM

>there was a planned version of the Montana meant to be armed with 6in Mark 16 dual purpose secondaries

I would love to see that as an alternate T10 BB

Atagoy was fucking shit user, her stats climbed only after they gave it repair party.

Shore bombardment

It's what the Marines want

MUH NAVAL GUNFIRE

why would you need shore bombardment

sure dreadnought were made just for that and battleship do that better but when the D-day came the allies never really d bombarded anything, they just threw meat into the meat grinder

>buffed to 20km range and awesome AA
It always had that though, it was just that it was with AFT.

Planes can do that

How do you play VMF DDs at higher tier? I take up a DD slot so I guess I'm supposed to cap but trying to cap gets me a face full of literally everyone's shells.

Thx but I already passed level 3.

>Minesweepers began clearing channels for the invasion fleet shortly after midnight and finished just after dawn without encountering the enemy.[95] The Western Task Force included the battleships Arkansas, Nevada, and Texas, plus eight cruisers, 28 destroyers, and one monitor.[96] The Eastern Task Force included the battleships HMS Ramillies and Warspite and the monitor HMS Roberts, twelve cruisers, and thirty-seven destroyers.[6] Naval bombardment of areas behind the beach commenced at 05:45, while it was still dark, with the gunners switching to pre-assigned targets on the beach as soon as it was light enough to see, at 05:50.[97] Since troops were scheduled to land at Utah and Omaha starting at 06:30 (an hour earlier than the British beaches), these areas received only about 40 minutes of naval bombardment before the assault troops began to land on the shore.[98]

Guns are still a good idea but that doesn't mean they have to be on a BB.

>trying to cap
Don't do that, at least not at the start of the match. I like to fire my guns so I get detected earlier. Once enemies start shooting back, you can position yourself appropriately. If no one shoots, you're probably spotted by a lone IJN DD, which you can obviously roflstomp.

play as a dd hunter

if they have less DDs you win

Honestly if you haven't gotten past T7 you're better off remaking and using a code.

hello quads

I heard they were supposed to do that for hours but ended up by cutting it short

Is 30 fps the max frame rate?

No. I think 60 is the cap, but it can be removed by editing preferences.xml

Fuck Issm on my team

WHY ISNT HE BANNED

Oh? Why is that?

Same reason this wonderful fellow isnt

Isn't he just a shit player though? I've never heard anyone say that he does anything actively malicious.
t. EUropoor

Warbeasty refuses to launch his planes until 16 minutes pass.

Being your team only CV and being AFK the whole match IS actively malicious. He does it quite regularly. If he does launch planes its never before the 15:00 mark.

Please help me to SV Cruiser. I'm at the Kirov, and while at first she seemed like a great ship I'm now noticing her flaws, like how she's incredibly shit at securing kills and absolutely disintegrates after just a single ANGLED BB salvo.

I get focused so fucking hard every game because I'm such an easy kill that I have to sit at the edge of my range and basically pray for fires to do any damage whatsoever. Any time I get even 1% confident I can get closer, BWOOSH, one shotted.

Are all the Cruiser lines like this or is this one just particularly bad about it? If it even exists, which Cruisers are closer range and better able to take hits. I understand they aren't Battleships, but I'd like something without paper armor if possible.

You get 80k free xp along with some other stuff but the free xp alone will more thanmake up for your current progression. Read the link or the op for the full info on what you get.

Who is he and why should I care?

what's his justification?

BB THAT HURTU

>when you see a babby shoot at your DD and turn the opposite direction from where you were originally heading and you turn right into his salvo

clever babby

Wows should include Scapa Flow as a port, where the entire German fleet slowly sinks in tghe background)))))))))) and eventaully your ship sinks as well))))))))

You have to shoot at your edge until you find the opportunity to fight a shitty jap cruisers

wow user wow delet this

>Install the new rudder mod on Khabarovsk
>Enough time to counter-dodge
I can't wait for this nerf))))))))))))))

You should have bought this bote

all cruisers are like that

or maybe Mers-el-Kébir
In which your ship get sunk by the RAF

Well I thought you'd translate it first. I don't speak autist.

i bet you like taking out 90 dying subs out to scapa flow with half of them sinking along the way just to shoot them in the back, too

>Britbong port
>youtube.com/watch?v=mUHDYlJHaOQ in the background

jesus christ that sounds like awful gameplay. Is that really all Cruisers do, just sit way back and hope one of your shells causes a fire? Should I just be happy with fires and not care about kills anymore with cruisers? One the rare occasion I get a broadside closish range I switch to AP but that's super rare, even rarer I get to use my torps to any affect.

If there's any Soviet Cruiser captains out there can you give me some tips. I listened and am not bothering with USN and while JP has great fire chance I liked the idea of the more rounded Soviet ships. They just melt really badly under fire, like almost worse than my Farragut or Gnevy.

If not to WIN..then we KILL

ayy lmao

>being this new
that is the warcry of WARBEASTY (the guy in the taiho)

>and eventaully your ship sinks as well))))))))

Chinese port looks incredibly Japanese.

Cruiser can only do flashy move when you're 1v1ing DD or Cruiser

>sinks
Oh perhaps I should correct myself

scuttled, not sunk

>the playerbase of a game is set at launch and never increases

How to play Schors? Everybody killing me, I can't do anyfing.

The same way you play any cruiser.

Waggle your butt harder.

>Having trouble playing soviet Balans))))) ship

I have a feeling that WG rigged player online count to make us feel better :\

Ok I started a new account. I don't see any free xp. Or does that come later?

You get it once you play your first battle in a tier 6 boat.

oh lord. That grind again.

BaBBies hit me into citadel in any projection. My Arp. Myoko armor gloriosly better.

Is Schors unbalanced? NA is all about soviet bias. Japanese cruisers still unbalance, but is so pretty in kancolle, do not nerfed chited HE WG.

Schors is by far the worst soviet cruiser in the line

schors isnt that bad, is just that buddy is the best and the T7 feel like a downgrade

>kid talking shit the moment the game started on my team about how elite his skills with the bogue are
>ignore him and get to scouting on my Isokaze
>actually manage to shoot the gap at B on Strait right into their CV daycare
>juiciest CV kill coming right up
>suddenly torp warning
>there's no enemies nearby
>only get 2 torps off before I'm blown up
>idiot bogue shittalker teamkilled me
>"You shouldn't have been there" is his first response
>without me saying a word he flies into how DD players are such shit and never do anything a carrier can't do better
>later on he's trying to stave off a DD that got in close
>he manages to drop torps
>at himself
>he misses
>and full broadsides his own ship
>I could hear the Alt-F4 keys slammed in a nubile rage from across the cosmos

It's rare you get catharsis like this.

CVnts everyone.

Is independence worth free XPing to?
I can't make strike bouge work, and as AS bouge I can get Clear Sky, top the team for XP, keep DDs permaspotted and even manage a kill off of DBs and the team still loses

Meanwhile Zuiho is so easy to win with and it's fast enough to keep up with the rear of the fleet instead of getting stranded alone

I want to be proud to be an American but the difference in CV quality gives me yellow fever

If you thought bogue was painful Independence will make you neck yourself.

That's not the answer I was hoping for

Is that anu's smurf account?

True...I'm spoiled by those agile CL like budy and cleve

>I want to be proud to be an American
Try burger DD's after Nicholas.. DD's are the only good thing USN has.

>american DDs

They're fun to play.

Is there any bonus to firing all your guns at once instead of piece meal?

looks cool and intimidating, makes you feel strong

better at last hitting chumps to pad your stats

burst damage+surprising element when you're in stealth
I use ripple fire when firing HE and vsing other bow forward ship

i used to think firing in single salvos had a hidden stat of buffing accuracy

>tfw i finally managed to get better with the Hipper

Thank fuck. Around 30ish k experience left until I can get the Roon and I can finally leave the Hipper. Really hope she holds up better though everyone has been saying it does.

Is there a max number of signal flags you can hoard?

Super close game win

Watch the Game timer and the points switch in our favor half a second before the game ends.

youtube.com/watch?v=1M_ogAhrpR8

I have had over 1500 of a kind.

Hah ok thanks.

Typically I just stay alt-tabbed for the first 5 minutes or so and then join in when the enemy has been spotted and damaged a bit. That way I can get the kills. Is this frowned upon here?

That's silly

lit. KYS

I remember when USN DDs used to be shit, how times have changed.

ded

i remember thje time when IJN DDs used to be OP, how times have changed ;_;

>all those wasted hours grinding up the shit USN CV line
>persevered because Midway was OP and would be worth it
>nerfed right before I got the Essex

You don't know my pain, user.

>mogamin was my credit maker ship because too poor for buying jew ships
