Previous Admiral:

got the furutaka in 1 fell swoop

whoops

...

Larry Boatman here. I'm taking a leave of absence until my new graphics card comes. The 12 FPS was unacceptable.

wow cant believe this thread is still up

heres another picture

What graphics level were you on?

Low as shit all over the board. The fact that it wouldn't let me res down and stretch to fullscreen was too much for my card. Weak as Radeon R5 230 can NOT handle 1080

>someone actually has lower specs than me
F
You could try to play carrier though. Top down view usually has better FPS.

I suppose I could. I think I'm just gonna play Stalker for a week until the new GPU comes tho.

...

Oh fuck almost forgot to login today.

it was then that i learned furutaka does not have depth charges

Isn't she a heavy cruiser? I didn't expect her to have any.

every other ship i play has them so i was just mashing 4 instinctively, until i realized that just brought me to my plane

also

>3 torps
>miss all of them

he missed 2 more torps when the ship was directly in front of him reversing.

>he missed 2 more torps when the ship was directly in front of him reversing.
Wouldn't they have been duds at that point anyway?

nope, he did eventually get 1 torp that hit

Sub bro here. I just spent a few hours trying out World of Tanks. Cold garbage, that one. I'll be around flatworming if anyone sees me online. I mostly play T4 T5 sub.

anyway, loving the gameplay of the furutaka so far. nice not to have to do the spotting for once, does it only get better from here? and do i get depth charges?

Heavy cruisers don't have depth charges, at least to my knowledge. And I heard Furutaka is more suffering than others.

so now i just stare them down while theyre submerged and hope they die of boredom? this blows.

and i dunno man, furutaka is not suffering whatsoever. Atlanta's are my bitch, DD's die in the blink of an eye, superstructures crumble before my 155mm's. also i outrange everyone thats not a BB, so if i just keep the edge of my range on the enemy at all times theres nothing they can do while i rain death on them without being spotted.

ASW is literally DDs' job. And CVs, but I'm talking normal ships here.

well we cant always depend on our teammates.

Your best bet is to use your speed to your advantage. Keep them straight under you so they cant come up for air, or they will surface and die. Dont let them get into primary torp position. If they surface but not under you, you'll murder them with a single round of shots.

-Sub player

Our biggest weakness vs Heavies is movement speed. We're limited by time underwater.

thanks for the pro tips dude, cant wait to ram one

dont let the thread die while im schleep boys...ill bump it soon as i wake up tomorrow. school ends on wednesday so im excited to participate in fleet battles which was previously impossible.

Will look forward to having more people available for the Fleet Battles.

>flatworm
OH WAIT! YOU! Welcome back man.

>meanwhile in boatslutsland

...

...

What bote is that?

I am going to guess it is A CV

What an astute observation!

Any news on the discounts?

Discounts?

...

...

Pubs will NEVER EVER learn.

But can they serve good drinks?

Some of them do, but I rarely go out to get a drink.

I fucking hate you all.

Fuck this bullshit
This is why the game is dying
Of course he also spent the last 3 minutes goldsmoking the cap

>win
>complain anyway
What happened on that match?

Is this fun?

>10 seconds left on the cap
>he's still goldspamming
>have to drive INTO THE CAP as long ass Mogami to stop the timer
>of course eat the torp salvo cause he saw me coming from a mile away
>be left with 1k hp trying to hit the Z31 that has escaped by now
>barely kill it with secondaries at 117 hp left

Sounds like you rekt him.

Can't wait to get more useless shit today instead of shekels.

...

No, he missed his last salvo
We shouldn't even have gotten that far, they were retarded and unable to use the gift MM had given them.

>thread still up

nice

the chinamen have smiled upon me and given 300 gold and 50 good consecutively

...

...

how do fleet battle compare to pubs? that's where the gold starts coming in right? need me an ooyodo.

5v5s are the full tryhard mode, not FBs. You only need a tier 4 ship for FBs (3 for DDs).

Is there somewhere I can see all the commanders in the game? I want to know what options exist for Hawkeye. I only have James Doolittle at the moment and
>Divebomber skills
I don't want to drop 1k qualification on his largly useless ass.

Barracks>Gallery.
There's Yamamoto, Spruance, Shelby and Doolittle. Dunno if I missed someone.

tru...but which one do I get gold from?

Also, this is my current loadout. Which may or may not change if I get Spruance. Yamamoto is 5 stars, Doolittle 4.

Ah right, Shelby and Futida are also 3 stars.

You get sheckels in 5v5s, not FBs like said.
In 5v5s the teams are made with tryharding in mind, everyone packs goldsmoke and bringing a ship under the tier requirements (T6 for DD/sub, T7 for everything else) is almost suicide.
You only have to get a few wins to be on the leaderboard with a decent amount of points and you'll get paid out at the end of the season. Your points wont decay if you don't play but you if you lose a match, some of the points will be gone and the amount increases as you climb the ladder.
If you have more questions about it just ask.

He's the cheapest though

>tfw literally afraid to do 5v5s after landing in those fat points

Yeah I'll probably bite that bullet eventually. Only at 850 qual anyway and when I hit 1k I'm probably going to drop it on Macmillan for that 10% damage boost.

Those are the four that can obtain Hawkeye.

Doolittle or getting lucky on obtaining Spruance are the cheapest Hawkeyes.

And if you aren't wanting to more seriously play CV's you can put it off for .
Macmillan. He is a better option since he affects everything else instead of only CV.

put it off for something like Macmillan *

...

>tits

...

is there a place for cruisers I'm 5v5

Mogami is meta

why's that

The character is usually drawn in loose baggy clothing. Sweaters are wonderful things. Though they don't work in all cases

20k damage per minute

>When there is are 12 people queuing for tier 8 and you queue tier 9

:^)

what's the cruiser that you can get besides Mogami?

Congrats on being a faggot

Tone?

Not sure when it only has 4 AA and the planespam is real on that mode. Tone works wonders and the german CA is decent in it.

>When there are 9 people queuing tier 9 but you don't have a tier 10

:^(

>grinding for tier 10

Brooklyn

>2017
>not having T10

nah I thought it was one of those CA/CL splits

>unironically wanting a T10

Yeah you'll never use those in that ded fleet of yours

Muck like your dick being used in another human being.

what even is this anger

...

Last two digits decide.

>Kaga

ye, it was Tone

also, Agano or Aoba? Agano has about 1000 more DPM, but...only 8mm less penetration. why would you ever pick Aoba, the fuck? its got less armor than the furutaka.

give me the hosho, or musashi

Agano is fucking suffering
This is coming from a CL enthusiast

i dont even know who that is but i like girls from the country

...

how so? im looking at stats here and where it isnt better than the aoba its only ever so slightly worse.

awwwww shiiiiiiiit, FOURTY TOPEDOES!!!!

also thank you super ktkm-sama

>fourty

i look like a dumbass

The turret placement is so bad, your already terrible 3x2 will effectively be 2x2. It only has 4km range. Aoba is shit too, but at least it doesn't require fighting at the frontlines.

hmm, i almost always play broadside though. i guess its better excused if im a heavy cruiser.
