What's the point of aircraft carriers in a game about fleet action, when in real life aircraft carriers operated in distant waters far away from ship-to-ship combat?
I mean, this was the reasoning that Wargaming used to explain why submarines aren't in the game, since submarines never operated in fleet battles and historically operated as dedicated packs against merchant shipping.

oi lads
been thinking about downloading again, but last time I played was around beta/release
how are carriers? are nips still for torping and claps for killing planes and torping? are there more CV lines in? are claps still overall better? did the strafing mechanic stick around? it looked extremely awkward, is there more shit like that?
Jeremiah Mitchell
Uhh, how exactly is this an improvement?
Connor Collins
muzzle velocity/ ap pen. not that it matters because the ship is trash
Levi Morris
Why do Soviet ships gets a separate Imperial Russian Navy flag for older ships but German ships don`t get Imperial German Navy flags?
Jonathan Gonzalez
The 130's are straight up better because they are much faster and have less travel time. If you end up liking the ship and keep her around, a dedicated captain with BFT and AFT.
Are you kidding? Bogatyr is the best sealclub cruiser.
Elijah Evans
oops, posted before I was done. >If you end up liking the ship and keep her around, a dedicated captain with BFT and AFT ...will do wonders since the 130's do benefit from those skills, while the 152's don't.

Only been playing a few months, but I can try to answer you?
IJN are good for their tech tree CVs and most of the other ships are lacking in some way or another, Japanese torpedoes can be seen from space almost and there's numerous ways to detect torpedoes.
Americans get (mostly) pretty bad tech tree CVs but great premium ones, the stealthiest T10 battleship, the best AA and a range of other good ships in general.
Germans get a bunch of good ships with great side armour and shit deck armour, plus secondary gun memes with the Bismark. Crap AA though from what I've seen and their CV is guaranteed replies every time you play a game.
Russians get the best of all worlds because Russian bias, but only cruisers and destroyers to choose from.
British get something completely different and possibly the best T10 cruiser, only two ship lines to pick from though.
French cruisers are for cucks and people who hate themselves.
Strafe is around with manual drops, but only for T6 CVs and above.
Claps?

claps, bongs, sovoks, nips, frogs

Because USSR did nothing wrong, komrade while Kaiserreich flag is used by nazis in denial... or something.

If you chose to play again, get a referral for your server before you play a match. You'll get a free Texas and some other goodies.

I believe you can use the referral if you've been away from WoWs for at least 3 months.
Caleb Butler
gimme one for eu then, we'll see how wg percieves me
Ryder Nguyen
It's either new players or players who haven't played for 3 months
looks like it worked, we'll see once I get the client

coming back after so long I feel like PT makes doing the cruiser dance a lot easier than the old SA
My DD game is so shit right now tho it hurts
Luke James
how do I play the lexington?
I KNOW it can be played well because unicunts with 70% wrs and 100k+ damages exist.
Damage isnt an issue because with 013 I just need to bap 2-3 BBs. But why is my winrate 45%?
What am I doing wrong, that I'm doing right with shokaku (72% wr) ?
Grayson Rodriguez
>grinding Orion >doing quite well >most battles are basically Orion teams vs Orion teams >get up to 60k dmg average in the Orion >suddenly today I get two battles in a row with two CV per team where I get focused at the beginning of the battle and removed because there's nothing at that tier that can really stop a CV I smell statpadders and XVM.
Luke Long
>. But why is my winrate 45%? Maybe you should try to hunt DD, instead of BB

Go get fucked in the throat by an STD-ridden rapefugee you fucking living waste of organic matter.
Chase Jackson
Is this just some random clan?
What prize do they give you? Shekels?
Aiden Foster
You either buy Enterprise to play a proper USN CV or just go for IJN. As IJN CV you have Air Control, Spotting, fast recycling and damage. As USN you either have air control but no damage, damage but no air control or 111 and good spotting while neither having good air control or damage.
A 222 loadout is just the best overall and downright better than 111.
Hunter Williams
it's a community event run by WG, there's some forum posts about it when it happens basically you just kill the corgi player and you get 500 doubloons and a bunch of signal flags

What's up with Russian bias meme? VMF has like 3 ships that you can get, that can be considered powerful. (Khaba, Moskva and Kutuzov)
Nathaniel Kelly
Is that Keanu Reeves?
Angel Morales
how do premiums work? do they get normal xp that I can use to research any ship? or will I have to use dubloons to convert that to free xp?
Owen Davis
>or will I have to use dubloons to convert that to free xp? Do you even have to ask? Of course you have to convert exp. Pic related. Anyway prems are captain training and credit grabbing machines, I think only Lo yang has bonus to free exp that you get.
Blake Torres
That's right, the ship XP you earn with premium ships is stuck on the ship the same as XP you earn with elite ships. The advantage of premium ships is that you can use a captain on them which is specialised to a different ship of the same nation and his skills will work at full effectiveness even if he is undergoing retraining.
Gavin Taylor
huh
Blake Green
So if I put my captain in a premium ship and he earns enough xp to level up, do I have to retrain him again when I put him back in his original ship?
Brayden Morales
>She was built in Britain and then transferred to the Royal Netherlands Navy. In 1951, the ship was sold to Indonesia
Huh, so we get British destroyers flying Indonesian flags, before we get actual British destroyers. Neat!
Gotta pander to your SEA customers, I guess.
Evan Campbell
that worked exceptionally well, I got everything after one battle BUT for some reason I also got 80k free xp (i think) that would skip me up to tier 7
Brayden Taylor
I hope so
Cooper Phillips
>I also got 80k free xp Part of the package. Don't waste it in one go. Glad everything worked out well, Don't forget to say hello in Veeky Forums chat,

go play hentai faggot
Jeremiah Peterson
And I'm still a little confused about training and re-training in general. Can a captain only be trained in one ship at a time? I always thought they retained their training for each ship they've been on and could freely move around previous ships without having to retrain. I moved my North Carolina captain back to my New Mexico so I could participate in ranked, which didn't require any retraining, so I thought i was set. But then when the season was over I moved him back to my NC and it said he needed retraining.
How did that work? Was it because he earned a skill point while in the New Mexico?
Austin Sullivan
I don't watch weeaboo garbage.

Lexington is dead, just paly shokaku, if you are forced to play lexington, go AS
Jayden Brooks
Game is dead. :( even RN BB couldn't boost interest of new players to the game. Soon even largest server (EU) will be forced to wait for a long time to game. Time kill wowsg. RIP WoWS, your life may be short but you introduced a lot of people to cute boats

Tried the game out back when the kraut tree had just been added, have there been any major gameplay changes since then?

Wait, are you saying that you can't use manual bomb/torpedo aim on lower tier carriers anymore?

>Russians get the best of all worlds because Russian bias
Potatoes literally have the worst ships in game except for T10.
Jackson Gonzalez
besides this being wrong, even if you were correct T10 is the tier that matters most for OP ships, because there is no tier of ships above it to help keep it down
Benjamin Moore
It's like the light at the end of the gulag.
Eli Hughes
Their T10 ships are not even better than competition. They are good but not great.
Japan is the best nation overall.
Benjamin Morris
Brit BB line
T3: who cares T4: nice HE, bad turret-speed/AP/HP, good turret layout T5: nice HE, bad turret-speed/AP/HP, good turret layout T6: better/worse warspite T7: nice HE/armour/stealth/AA
Does anyone have any views on T8+?
Colton Myers
Like t7.
They literally shit all over everything. baBBies wet dream. Shoot HE that deals as muhc damage as AP pens, AA that deletes whole squadrons, better camo than most cruisers.
Jaxson Reyes
I thought Monarch AA was meant to be pretty short-ranged and mediocre?
KGV does apparently have colorado-tier AA which is nice, but it seems like more of a punitive than a preventative measure (Kaga will rape you either way).
On another note: AFT or fire prevention for the tier 4 skill after CE?
Jaxon Foster
Fires seem like a non-issue on the tier 9 and 10 with their super heal.
David Taylor
Can someone give me a break-down on all the Destroyer lines?
Andrew Ramirez
Japs focus on torps and have usually the lowest detectability. Burgers focus on short range firepower and good smoke. Torps are very short range until tier 7. Nazi botes get hydro at tier 6, mediocre torps, shitty smoke, and take extra damage form AP. Commy line to khaba goes fast and shoots stuff, the other one trades firepower for torps and a bit of AA.

I'm nearly done with my Nicholas grind but I'd still like to know

I Have an honest question for all of you tonight, /wowsg/.
Do any of you guys use the "special" modifications that drop from supercontainers?
