First for me being better than everyone.

Amazing

there was an attempt

...

What are these from?

Internet. though the ships are usable in game.

...

>meme camo

Stillborn thread

Yes, dead.

...

...

So which sub line is the best?

Germany can be a pain in the ass. Small and maneuverable but lowest oxygen of the three.

US has the most rear torps and is the middleground between maneuverability and oxygen.

Japan is huge. Best oxygen, highest damage torps. But because it is huge it is a sizable target when surfaced and can't evade torps as well.However Japan can ram enemy subs without worrying too much.

Americans are the less shit one, but they're still trash because they're subs.

>They said that the BB ramming BB and firing in the in the trailer doesn't happen in real matches

Sure showed them!

oh, right. Guy in the middle's an enemy BB.

>The DD sees the BB
>The BB has no idea at all

I do love Night Battles.

This is relevant to both this posts.

Why do modern ships have to look like shit?

Zumwalt-chan is cute though.

The cutest

I wish missiles and Aircraft Carriers were defensive not offensive weapons. Someone bring back the Great White Fleet.

Well, missiles and carriers will be obsolete once railguns and lasers become mainstream. I can see missiles only being used for tactical inland bombing and carriers being used for AS in areas where an airport is impossible to use/deploy, but we can be sure as fuck no one will be deploying planes over warships with lasers, that's for sure.

Why not just call it fap to botes day 2.

It used to be fun.
Nowadays even if the entire population queued at once it wouldn't be enough.

>Nowadays even if the entire population queued at once it wouldn't be enough.
You sure you're not talking about Suzuya?

...

Part of it is there isn't any sort of mission for the event. And the free XP rewards from playing the mode would be nice for new players, except the whole
>Must be T5 to queue for it
And most of the vets see it as a waste of time since the big reward is global XP, but less than a normal match at higher tiers.

So those who would play it cant, and those who can play it, don't.

New yamato inspired class coming along nicely. Will post pics.

Ooh?

How are you posting here?

It was also a clusterfuck.

...

Dual purpose guns WHEN.

...

When you have a purpose in life

...

Everyone's going crazy

Maybe another time.

do japanese CA's have a buttload of armor (relative to cruisers) in this game?

No all cruisers can be penned by DDs rather easily

damn

then what do they offer over other cruisers?

Long lance torps
Higher arcs that are more suitable for penning battleships
Best speed and maneuvaribility

are they good at screening DD's away from BB's if our DD doesnt do it

dunno what you mean

are japanese cruisers good at destroying the destroyers and keeping them away

Burgers are better at doing that

whys that? they got huge radar range or somethin?

Better aiming time and faster shell travel time.

In offtopic news, /sog/ will be seeded in pot 2 in VGL, thing that I should've figured out earlier as /sog/ was the top seed in pot 3 and /ddg/ is ded.

>meanwhile we still don't have a roster update

>/ddg/ is dead

very good

nobody cares

i care

we gotta come up with new names though, too many deep web memes.

I already gave my suggestions.

Wunderfloats.

doesnt /wowsg/ say that too

Nobody cares about /wowsg/. And we actually have a reason for wunderfloats being wunderfloats.

we should make one of the players Otto Lindemann, Kaspar Mass, or Nakayama Arashi or some other popular commandr

Which one's the one with battle instinct?

kaspar mass

>Sub removal

US has fast aiming and faster shell travel time like a guy said above. And don't make that great of spotters when they're in a match of BB's and they are the 'light ship' and no DD's are present.

That said, Japanese cruisers tend to have better radar so they can spot either for their team, or themselves, more efficiently than US if a DD wasn't available in a match.

I only have T6 US CA so things could change

Working on Yamato. Wikipedia lists it as having 4x3 155mm secondaries but I can only find schematics of 2x3.

working on yamato for what

...

oh, from the depths

is that game good or somethin

Look at the ingame model of T9 Yamato. Pre-AA rework Yamato had 4x3 secondaries, post-AA buff has 2x3, that's why you are getting mixed schematics/info.

...

wasnt this a point blank shot or somethin

That was an American gunnery test. Think they were shooting flat against the turret roof. The blank shell penetrated, flew off and was never found.
Still can't find schems for the 4x3.

How went botes today?

I'm still waiting for that sale.

Scenario mode actually happened today.

...

Delete this depravity.

>Japanese cruisers tend to have better radar so they can spot either for their team

No. They're the exact same except for Tier 7.

...

nips can't win this shit

>in the fucking Benson
Jist how bad were those guys?

Bring me a bote to cross to my dear
I stand here alone with my sweetheart so near
Bring to me a bote to cross o'er the Tyne
For its deep murky waters part her heart and mine

And the Tyne it flows on and out to the sea
If a bote I am granted then safe let me be
And gently I'll go for gently I'll row
As gently you breathe as you ebb and you flow

Does she know I stand each day on the shore
Does she know I'd give all to see her once more
Does she know I've wept ten thousand times o'er
And is she still waiting as she was before

The boteman he wants the gold I can't give
My parents are poor so I've nothing to give
Only my heart and that will not float
So please don't deny me and bring me a bote
