WE NEED MORE SCHOOL CRUISERS

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.

>submarines never operated in fleet battles
They did though.

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?

Uhh, how exactly is this an improvement?

muzzle velocity/ ap pen. not that it matters because the ship is trash

Why do Soviet ships gets a separate Imperial Russian Navy flag for older ships but German ships don`t get Imperial German Navy flags?

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.

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.

>muh sealclubbing
*falls asleep*

These posts should answer your questions:

Don't forget the period-accurate American flags.

Tsushima as scenario when?

sounds kinda like an exaggerated version of what was back then, ty, I might try it tomorrow

>the turkfag of [HOTEL] is an autocrat
never would have guessed

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.

>He's not a member of the benevolent inner circle
lol sux to be u

that's for new players is it? or some kind of scroll of ressurection like wow shit

>discordrama is about to begin, again
Let's stop before it's too late.

I believe you can use the referral if you've been away from WoWs for at least 3 months.

gimme one for eu then, we'll see how wg percieves me

It's either new players or players who haven't played for 3 months

Here you go
playtogether.worldofwarships.eu/invite/LKvlv39

looks like it worked, we'll see once I get the client

>mfw reading the discord and the thread for practically the past year

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

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) ?

>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.

>. But why is my winrate 45%?
Maybe you should try to hunt DD, instead of BB

>dying to autodrop CVs

Go get fucked in the throat by an STD-ridden rapefugee you fucking living waste of organic matter.

Is this just some random clan?

What prize do they give you? Shekels?

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.

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

Butthurt Alert! Level Anal Rape.

What the fuck

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)

Is that Keanu Reeves?

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?

>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.

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.

huh

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?

>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.

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

I hope so

>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,

>Gallant

can someone access wotapi?

Those things are devilish.

>its a butthurt player who cant stand aircraft carrier rape episode

go play hentai faggot

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?

I don't watch weeaboo garbage.

Lexington is dead, just paly shokaku, if you are forced to play lexington, go AS

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

they look like Bofors

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

>Strafe is around with manual drops, but only for T6 CVs and above.

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

>lose a couple of them to some HE salvo
>AA -60

>Katori for sale on premium shop


Is nothing fucking sacred anymore? God damn.

What the fuck.

We were just short of 30k people today, doesn't look so bad.
On the other hand, backwater servers such as SEA and NA...

I finally did it reddit!

>Russians get the best of all worlds because Russian bias

Potatoes literally have the worst ships in game except for T10.

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

It's like the light at the end of the gulag.

Their T10 ships are not even better than competition. They are good but not great.

Japan is the best nation overall.

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+?

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.

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?

Fires seem like a non-issue on the tier 9 and 10 with their super heal.

Can someone give me a break-down on all the Destroyer lines?

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.

>there are people that paid $400 to collect the Katori less tham 1 year ago

Maybe the ship will finally get buffed?

Fuck that noise. I won mine in a contest. All it cost me was 4 days of spare time.

I got mine in a supercontainer

should I be taking AR, LS or smoke in the clemson?

I did a simple mission set

That's what I meant, it took me probably 4 days to grind them all.

nigga who gives a fuck it's a low-tier DD, are you intentionally trying to go clubbing?

I should add you fucked up by selecting ES over Last Stand

ah, yeah was pretty easy.
i always love it when Wows has the missions for a free ship if i have enough time to get it/ easy enough to do

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

>Khaba has fucking Repair Party now
Did WG think the ship is not broken enough? Should've added radar and sonar while they're at it.

Alright boys, lets see what we got.

Pray for me.

I hope they do more like that

>gamlbingproblem
tell us more user

Awesome!

...

But you have to unequip the smoke generator so it's totally balans))))
Nevermind that at 43 kn speed carrying smoke is pretty useless

I bought a zep.
