>two discords
gee user, how does your mod lets you have two sources of autism?

>I'm not gonna get mad
>goes on a 20 minute rant

someone who isn't a unicum made one, called it a unicum only discord, spammed posts about it in the last thread, made this thread early so he could put it into the OP and it doesn't even have any unicums in it

But I am Super Unicum, and there's plenty of people in there, and any other Unicums are welcome to join. Or if you're a shitty but cool af we might make an exception, OR you can just get advice in welcome channel

>But I am Super Unicum
No you aren't raptor, you're a blue shitter who can't even get carried to purple.
>and there's plenty of people in there
So which of our unicums are there?

t. hipster wannabe

double trips confirms the POWER OF THE SUPER UNICUMS

What's the chance that Aslain'd include pic related in his mod pack?

>But I am Super Unicum
Post stats.

And what, offend some thin shkinned loser? No way.

Doesn't it already have the windmill of friendship and rising fun flag?

I actually had some idea regarding how to make them more politically correct(at least for streaming and YouTube)

>since it relies on fires for most of its damage
Not really, I play mine a lot and the majority of my damage usually comes from raw shell damage in a mix of HE and AP, with fires just making up a minority, unless I get really good RNG.
Not sure how useful it actually will end up being but I'll probably try it out.

>It's another HE shell buff
>Still no AP shell buff for cruisers
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

"no"

It has the Evil Nihonese Rape Flag, but the windmills of friendship are replaced by iron crosses.

Is the furutaka C hull even worth it?

It makes the ship a lot better because it gives you 4 of your guns at the front

so you somehow got cqe in a Fiji against a Fuso?

kek

Why is having more guns at the front an advantage?

play roon and you will find out shitter

what is roon?

By standing in smokes, ofc. I didn't get cqe though, because he died by fire, not by direct hit.

It lets you show a lower profile while still having more guns pointed at your enemy.
So you don't have to get deleted by showing broadside trying to get more than 2 guns firing if you need to.

so basically its a more offensive orientation with defensive benefits right?

its just better man

dont overthink it

Yes, it means you can make better use of the guns and can protect yourself better.

Whats your favorite bote?

>too aggressive to play any class properly

Teach me how to calm my autism and how to git gud

;_;

Will RN BBs and DDs be less memey than their CLs?
Is Belfast worth buying if I treat it like a chinkbote/dunkek/polanstronk?

She may have been a mistake but she will always be my favorite bote and I love her despite her flaws.

>Is Belfast worth buying if I treat it like a chinkbote/dunkek/polanstronk?
Yes.

I smell a nerf

>nerf
>premium

why do camouflages look so disgusting?

They don't do that in WoWS?
Maybe WoT made me too cynical

Nope.
They don't like nerfing premiums because it reduces people's confidence in buying them, they just take them out of the store and never sell them again, like the Nikolai

Any reason why the Japs get obviously better carriers?
More effective fighters, better loadout choices, more squadrons, better ship speed.
That is absolute fucking nonsense.

Seemingly few people plays carriers now and it's no wonder the American ones are mostly untouched.
I just got the Bogue and already I've seen in game, and in the tech tree, that I'm not going to be competitive in that tier or any after it.

Can the retard who keeps on making these threads please use "/wowsg/" and not "/wows/" in the heading? Thanks.

I thought it was some EU law bullshit

I've seen people refer to it but never actually provide any proof, and anyway it's a global thing, it's in their best interests to keep people confident that what they spent money on isn't going to just disappear.

Belfast is like Flint, but with the tools to 100% cancel out DDs. I can't tell if they were trying to provide a paid alternative to people who don't want to rank out 3 times, or just shortsighted. It suffers in losing torps, but you can play around that and most are too dumb to charge your smoke anyway. The AA difference is meaningless in this meta. After 50+ games in it, its greatest weakness is that it decelerates and reverses slowly. It doesn't get the special Brit AP either, but the krupp values are absurd and it can easily do 5k+ per salvo on broadsiding battleships at under 10km. It was advertised as a DD killer, but it can absolutely melt BBs too. It's frail, but just don't expose your broadside or go visible unless you're smoking up/have cover/don't feel like you'll get shot back at. Played right, it can lock down a flank almost singlehandedly. Smoke near island cover and about 10km away from enemies and nothing can touch you. And don't go hunting after DDs unless they come too close or are un-escorted.

Bottom line is, I don't consider myself a cruiser player. I have zero interest in playing the RN CL line. Belfast is one of the most fun ships I've played. If you have any experience enjoying the sneaky smokey firesetting playstyle of gunbote DDs, get it. If I had to give it a motto, it's "never a fair fight". Stick to that and it's free wins. It would not surprise me if it never goes on sale again.

The fact that it is overmatched by CAs is it's biggest weakness in my view. That's what really enforces the 'no fair fights' playstyle.

FUCK THAT!

I was seriously looking forward to that game coming back. It was a hell of a lot of fun and pretty well balanced. But with WG market practices? ... Shit.

About to unlock the Colorado after having a great time in the New Mexico. Will I enjoy the Colorado as much as the New Mex?

Yeah, it's pretty fun.

I wanna be the very best

like no autist ever was before

Is there a way to get premium shekels for free or ship slots for free?
Or do I have to conquer my inner jew to own more ships

cRATES

Ship slots go on sale from time to time. I think they're reasonably priced.

supercrates can give gold
regular crates can give ship slots too
otherwise you just have to buy them, they go on sale every now and then

Thanks for the answers, just came back and trying to git gud

>playing aa cleveland
>carrier sends 4 squads of planes to bomb me
>pop aa fire and catapult fighter
omg it's a dream come true

>play tejas
>CV keeps coming to bomb me
>my AA barely shoots down any of his plons
>it's another 10 games before any plons come my way
:(

The port slot drop rate from crates doesn't seem all that low either. Pick anything besides try your luck, since you only get 1 shot there instead of 3, and keep spamming if you really need space. I don't think I'll ever have to pay for it again.

Will keep that in mind.
My main issue currently is that somehow on a regular basis all my shots are too high or too low, leaving a gap in my salvo for the enemy ship

Thanks RNG ))))))))

About to unlock the Gneisenau after having a great time in the Bayern. Will I enjoy the Gneisenau as much as the Bay?

Most likely,
Though I still remember how wowsg laughed at 6 guns

What's wrong with 6 guns? Fusou has 6 guns and is a god damn menace.

Get the B Hull ASAP though because it has better AP shells. But you might want to get propulsion and range if you find them lacking.

Fusou has 6 turrets with 2 guns senpai it has twice as many guns as the gnasal.

Oh shit, sorry, thought you meant 6 guns like the glorious goddess of pagoda, Fusou, has.
6 guns as in 6 turrets.

So is anyone going to make a proper naval game? This feels poor and Steel Ocean is just as bad. The physics are busted and this is a grindy trash bag. I've been playing since beta and still not out of tier 7

Hope you like to be constantly on fire and to splash all your shells at point blank.

Has someone cuteuzov version of this meymey?

If you couldn't get more than t7 in all that time it's not the game's fault you're just too bad to enjoy the game.

>new total exp required to hit 19 points will be 839,900, or roughly the same exp required to currently get a 16 point captain
>captain exp gained past 19 will be added to a pool which can be used to convert exp to other captains for 25 doubloons per 1 exp point
sea-group.org/?p=1849&lang=en
sea-group.org/?p=1863&lang=en
If this is true, there's going to be tons of people running around with maxed captains.

Tier 8 is around 500 games so playing since beta is either only playing on occasion or being terrible.

How will any of that encourage new players to join?

>25 doubloons per 1 exp point

...

No, don't fall into the meme of japan more squads is better. I play CVs of both nations and like americans better.

...

...

What?

Shouldn't it be the other way around? Kek

What are you talking about mate?
