Im thinking of taking a break form my grind for Akizuki, which line of which type of ship should i play? Im deciding between German BB, Soviet DD, Soviet Cruisers and German Cruisers.
Aaron Gutierrez
Play German cruisers. After playing Karlsruhe you will feel that Akizuki grind isn't that bad and that you are full of energy to continue it
Bentley Torres
Because at the end of the day, there's only 1 victory condition, and the other stats like damage or K/D or survival rate might give more insight but aren't really important or useful if you're only looking at a single metric, whereas everyone has the same opportunity (at least in solo games, and over a large spread of matches) to affect their team's chances at winning positively or negatively, which is what WR is an indicator of. Because it's measured relative to other players it gives you an insight into how strongly/consistently they can influence matches so that their team wins compared to how another player can do the same thing, someone with a 60% WR is clearly contributing more than a 50 or 45% player, otherwise they just wouldn't be winning more often. Though at the end of the day, playing with people and just judging for yourself is probably the best way to see if a player is good or not.
Julian Morgan
Sadly that won't help, I left off at Konigsberg a while back, i'm at tier V on soviet and german cruisers.
Jack Bailey
Why is Bismarck such a bitch to Prinz?
Joshua Morgan
>french battleship content has yet to be officially revealed
Jason Sanders
Prinz a shit.
Gavin Cruz
Than play Königsberg. 360 noscope turrets should be fun
Did you know the nassau can shoot straight ahead with 3 of its turrets?

>Implying there's any logic to how WG fails to achieve balance
Really slow planes but tanky ships.
You should re-roll. It's worth it.
Thanks buddy. Hopefully you'll be my first recruit to make it to T6.
I'm of the same opinion. The other issue with the Consumables container is that many consumables don't have that much utility at all.
Christian Wood
hey wait a second you're not french BB user! YOURE AN IMPOSTER, A PHONY

>French BB line still not announced
Samuel Wood
it's been announced dude.
Justin Howard
Has it officially been announced for sure that it's actually a BB line and not just CAs and DDs?
Luis Lopez
>VMF get DD's with anti ship missiles before France gets a proper BB line

William Cooper
I'm a shitter, so better than server average.
Noah Howard
>60% >good
lmao, shitters can leave
Nathan Johnson
if you're above 60% WR you're a statpadder
Jacob Flores
delete this
Camden Cooper
If you're above 50% WR you're a statpadder, if you're 50% or under you're a shitter.
William Murphy
Anybody?
David Fisher
can't argue against that
Evan Jones
I'LL DELETE THE FRENCH FLEET AND THEIR ABILITY TO PROJECT POWER IN THE NEXT 20 YEARS
Luke Cook
What exactly does"statpadding" mean?
Ryan Robinson
You kidding? Konigsberg is great fun. The only real turd in the line after Karl is the Yorck.
Daniel Davis
demolition expert
Jordan Rivera
Here? Essentially nothing usually. It's supposed to be referring to stuff like players who play nothing but T1/T2 games in a dedicated sealclubbing division or something like that just so they can over-inflate their win rate. Though now it often just ends up being a buzzword some people throw out at anyone who has a better win rate than them, irrelevant of how they got it (such as anyone who plays in a division at all, or anyone who doesn't just play T10).
Michael Gutierrez
All they said were two French lines are in the works for this year, but that could mean a cruiser and destroyer line
Lincoln Kelly
>Yorck M8? I haven't had this much fun on a ship since I first tried USN Freedom AP Baltimore edition.
Daniel Gray
MAA if you go to T9-10
Jack Perez
>when enemy cleveland bullies your emerald so you intentionally run aground while laying smoke only to deploy dat AP into his citpussy 5 minutes later
Henry Cruz
> Though now it often just ends up being a buzzword some people throw out at anyone who has a better win rate than them. I kind of figured , but I had to be clear.
Also, why can't I seem to set fires to other ships despite throwing a ton of HE at them/do certain parts of the ship have a higher chance to ignite than others?
Brayden Hernandez
Does the Spee reward camouflage from the christmas convoy missions offer any advantage over spee's regular premium camo?
Ryan Richardson
Not really, but you want to be aiming for the superstructure if possible, I can't say for sure that it has a better chance for fires, but it's where you'll do the most HE damage.
Christian Myers
No, its just uglier.
Adrian Rivera
Alright, thanks.
Noah Torres
Unryuu poster pls come to NA.
Robert Diaz
I switched to NA last night.
Jose Jenkins
Thanks. Guess I can stop grinding those missions after the last port slot.
Jonathan Morgan
Oh boy. Whats your IGN. We should play at some point.
Connor Richardson
But I am new and bad at game.
Leo Howard
>one DD match, and he's on our side >our BBs still cling to the fucking blue line like they'll drown without it
Caleb Rivera
That's okay, people don't mind, so long as you're nice to play with.
Joseph Price
So am I
Jackson Perry
I'm not new but I play like I am
Kayden Bailey
>start game in BB >a cruiser says he'll stick with me to defend with AA >well alright, let's go in >cruiser gets deleted by Kurfurst >now getting spammed with fires and BB rounds and a DD pops and tosses a wall of skill at me >instantly sunk because can't turn worth a shit Yeah, I think the blue line is comfy. I'll stay there from now on.
Elijah Brooks
> That's okay, people don't mind, so long as you're nice to play with. It's almost always the opposite in a lot of games. Oh.

>Get Eugen in 5 Admiral boxes back before Xmas. >People keep parroting $3 boxes are better. >Blow $75 bucks on nothing and vow never to gamble again. >Decide fuck it, my birthday's coming up, spend $25 more on admiral boxes. >3k dubs, Tirpitz and Arizona.
Moral of the story is go big or go home I guess. Fuck $3 boxes.
Kayden Johnson
/wowsg/ has some nice people, there's certainly some that only want to play with unicums and get carried but there's plenty that are happy to play with new players and just anyone who's enjoyable to sail with
Grayson Martinez
So can we all agree that new type of armament will be manual AA?
Isaac Hall
No. Only thing that matters is your fire chance, tier of enemy ship (higher means better fire defense) and if enemy fallen for fire prevention meme. It doesn't even matter if shell actually penetrated
Justin Rivera
Well, that's a bit reassuring. Oh, okay. Thank you.
Joshua Sanchez
fuck you
Luis Bell
nay thou
Liam Evans
>tfw spent my money on boxes and now I'm fucked but at leat I have my camos :^)
Jack Richardson
Yeah. It's just nice to have someone to talk/work with
Nolan James
Np. Wg does really shitty job at communicating its game mechanics. And then we get them gutted as confusing((((
Juan Morgan
is under NDA ))))
Jackson James
What it actually means is people who exclusively play in 3-man divs set up with good or very good ships that dominate their tier.
When 3 people with a 'normal' WR of 55% - 60% do this they can easily inflate their WR to 80%
Jonathan Brown
Buy some $5 ones user, your luck is bound to be up for some nice ships now!
Benjamin Miller
and theres nothing wrong with that
the only reason it works is because divisions are not piss common, so suddenly 3 dudes working together are more likely to win that 3 dudes who dont work together
Justin Turner
What about people who play those same tiers and divs but with a wide range of ships?
Jeremiah Brown
Does anyone have that webm of the Iowa hyperspacing in and deleting Mako with one salvo?
Lucas Baker
can't afford them anymore, I fell for 3$ meme and spent what little disposable money I got on them, now I'm back to f2p
I'not calling it wrong, I'm just explaining why some people get 80% WR.
This is what happens when you use three good players in two MKs and a t7 CV every game.
Teamplay is a factor. But so is using the right ships.
Kayden Ortiz
>t8 ca in mostly t7 environment >t8 PREMIUM git gud
Blake Martin
French DDs would be the shit with 45 or so knot speed without flags
Andrew Brown
Pay closer attention
Jacob Thompson
do you have autism my dude? what the fuck is the problem?
Jaxson Rodriguez
do you not know how to type down your expression(s)?
Chase Young
>There will be new types of armament added into the game, no details were shared. There were plenty of details if you were paying attention. Rooskie balans AShM
Julian Howard
oh, 7+6+6 div... fuck that shit, I can't understand why can't they put in similar concept as tanks: you div outside your tier you get penalties to exp and credits and you div with your tier you get bonuses
Tbh I woulnd't call just playing in a div itself statpadding. People who are just grinding out stock ships or whatever, who aren't just playing the most OP ships possible and are just having fun playing a range of different stuff and aren't looking to rig the MM with something like that, that's really just playing the game. Unless you want to count anything that increases your chance of winning at all "statpadding", but again that kind of makes the term a bit meaningless.
Mason Morgan
PLS
NO
Angel Moore
Feel the Balans)))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Gavin Moore
>play wyoming >enemy karlsruhe and konigsberg converge on me >30 hits on either >22k dmg??? >I'm dead cause lmao overpen and torps
William Peterson
they will probably be hard hitting, Le Fantasque class has 138mm guns
Justin Gutierrez
No way they'll do 3 BB lines in a row. DDs are easier to model and make.
Easton Peterson
Should also have similar ballistics as Russian 130mm, slightly lower muzzle velocity, but quite a bit heavier, so it retains speed better over distance.
