>tirpitz is different from bismarck
In a bad way. The super situational point-blank torps would be somewhat on par with bismarck's mega-hydro if either hydro could be destroyed (it cannot, no matter how much enemy shoots) or the torps were durable (they're not, the only target that's vulnerable to the launchers are battleships that can instantly perma-delete them from the side of the ship before moving into torp range)

Then bismarck has better antiair and very slightly better armor, I believe.

The anti-Tardpitz AP bombs all high tier US carriers are one more reason not to run it.

Also, super secondaries builds can be fun, but they're below-average strength for someone with a 10-point captain, with MS+AFT+CE costing a whole 18 points. Alabama is the far better ship with just a 10 point.

Whereas Tirpitz is just an inferior Bismarck, the Alabama is a straight superior NC. It has the best turning degrees per second of any battleship in the game, great armor and great antiair and great firepower. It even has great torpedo-resistance which combines well with the turning speed.

Really, the upsides to Tirpitz are the special camo (but he can't get that anymore, it's not for sale) and being cheap to run. Bismarck has 25k more repair cost and 22.5k more consumable cost (since premium hydro is way pricier than firing torpedos once per game for like 2k credits)
But even on the Econ side, I'd much more highly recommend buying a year of premium account (when you get a 30% off coupon or there's a 40-50% off sale like certain christmas or holiday) and running Bismark or other non-Tirpitz ships instead.

Bismarck is truly the greatest botefu

>The anti-Tardpitz AP bombs all high tier US carriers are one more reason not to run it.

Seems to hurt Bisco just as bad

>When you realize the french destroyer line probably won't come close to Duguay-Trouin's near 360 degree torpedo arcs.

The Aigle's 130mm guns apparently are pretty disappointing too, very floaty according to people who've played it.

She basically faster Farragut

Does the guns turn as slow as Grevny's?

Bismarck has better antiair and hydro makes it useful while escorting the team (Staying near alabamas and such, spotting torps from miles away so even a t10 shimakaze gets no hits on a group of battleships)

A tirpitz won't have any air cover if it wants to get 4km away from the enemy's battleships to torpedo them. It is strictly worse to have on the team when carriers are in play, because Tirpitz is only effective in situations which are over-extending in a game with aircraft, unlike Bismarck.

Are we getting another myoko for chinese new year

I don't have nearly the fxp for MO, (a little over 550,000 if I converted everything.) I have played KM and RN BBs ups to t7 as well. I heard NC was the better choice so I chose her for my first T8.

I'm really leaning hard for AL because I think I'll like the play style once I get used to it.

should’ve named your clan [HOMO] lmao

>bismarck's mega-hydro
It's not 2016 any more, old-timer.

With vigilance it's still 3.9 km of torpedo spotting in every direction, regardless of terrain.

Even tier 10 destroyers are harmless in the vicinity so long as it is active. Something shimakaze players seem not to understand, because they'll die trying to get 15 missed torpedos on my bismarck while an ally keeps them spotted and guns and secondaries shred them even at 11km.

y-you too

My Bisko captain has still 5 points to obtain. I specced him with AFT and Manual Secondaries. So Vigilance over BFT?

why does it take so long for spotted ships to render? is it my computer or russian programming?

>in stock Monarch with a 10-point captain with CE
>two lost battles, 1 68k DMG, another one 75k
Well, that AP can be quite potential.

>Myoko
>Chinese New Year
What?

Rendering improves if you set to the lowest graphics setting.

I guess we can just turn off post-processing and we are good from there?

Why WG not spent some time and effort and overhaul, at least, Japanese battleship tree?
Look at Musashi, and then, for example, at Nagato or Kongo.
This ruins my immersion so much.

We got a dragon ship in 2017
I remember playing PT and there being 2 dragon ships and I want the oter one

What video does flamu say bouncing dunkerque shells is like winning the special olympics
I know it was in a lightly armoured ship

I want them to do another pass of Izumo
Yeah she's a bad ship, but she just looks so hacked together too. They could at least make her look nicer.

Yes, it works. I've pretty much started exclusively grinding FXP and Commander XP in PvE scenarios with Cleveland/Atlanta. It's basically a guaranteed win and ~2000 base XP.

NVM guys I found it it was the yorck commentary

Before that can we just make her something like a T7 free XP prem ship? Because WG has ruined this beautiful name by rendering the corresponding ship more useless, and by that no absolute value can be made by making the ship prettier.

Yeah, BFT is overrated crap unless the ship won't get benefit from Vigilance or Superintendent or Survivability Expert(DD-only)

10% reload that only affects secondary guns (not like adrenaline rush which is secondaries + main guns + torps) is a joke, completely negligible. It doesn't make a difference against planes either, unlike AFT's 20% range which makes the ship cover a 44% wider area of the battlefield in antiair while also increasing plane deaths as they have to lose more planes before getting into attack range.

Vigilance will help bismarck more than BFT. You end up with more DPS than a BFT bismarck because you don't have to instantly flee screaming from destroyers, you can dodge the torps and stay in secondary range (which is a +100% secondary DPS increase over leaving secondary range because you ate a torp and have to go repair)

The side effect is Vigilance stacks with hydro, so my Bis can sail next to an island and the hydro will spot torpedoes 4km away and allow a friendly destroyer to survive (increasing our team DPS hugely as he can shoot and torpedo things and helps our capping hugely and letting the DD survive to provide spotting which gives the team extra DPS from the rest of us)

Bis cannot snipe. It mathematically loses at it. 10 410mm gun Amagi wipes its asshole with 8 380mm gun germans at range. Bismarck's utility is that it can interfere in DD vs DD showdowns and kill/cripple the enemy DD to win caps or that it can save a BB fleet from enemy destroyer torpedos. Vigilance makes Bismarck a whole 25% better in both of those situations, while BFT is negligible in every way.

> very floaty according to people who've played it.
Oh wow, literally nobody could've guessed. It is not like there is a ship with exact same guns so you could simply check shell flight time and compare to DD at the same tier.

its just how the game works

+20% AA damage is pretty nice

>not putting concealment on your bisco

>Wanting to hide her sexy hull from the world.

So what's with the memory leak they added? It used to be I could play endlessly, but since fairly recently the game starts throwing a shitfit after 5-10 games.

>when you get your bisco into a brawl with the big boys and absolutely rip shit up
Musashi ain't nothing but a little bitch

Now try brawling a Lion.

That's silly you don't brawl lions.

>brawling an easy to citpen big ship which can citpen you from the bow at far away
How can you pull this shit off? With Musashi being dumb idiot?

You can't cit a bow on Bismarck at close range, half of its bow is protected by 60mm armor which 460mm guns can't overmatch leaving only a tiny section left above water, which even if you manage to hit reliably only returns in full pen damage.

Giulio Cesare. It's cheap, and when on discount it's even cheaper, it's fun to play, it's powerful, it makes loadsamoney. Otherwise get six months of premium instead of a premium tier VIII since in the end it will allow you to make much more credits and experience without the need to stop your grind to play a ship that gets you nowhere.

You forgot the most important part.
It's crazy fun.

i didn't get any anime girls today :[

Plon speed increase by tier should be reduced. Additionally, dive bombers should have a slightly longer set up period.

They need to rise the citadel of RN BB, fucking garbage retard low untouchable citadel

>*sets you on fire*

>*press r*

Ded

You can citadel them. But at very specific ranges.

Nice cheat mod you noob.

>skip past that picture
>Nice cheat mod
>go back and look at the picture
Now I want that mod too

What am I suppose to do right now?

Scout and spam pedos from a safe distance.

Get a better PC.

I'm fucking blind, what's the cheat mod there?

spot, spam torps
enemy dd is dead so you should be safe assuming the cv is distracted

youtube.com/watch?v=_at2eRkSDyE

How will the French ever recover?

Same
Is there any specific daily container to get anime girl?

>being bad at botes

Haven't played for a couple of months, did they ever get around to those Brit BB nerfs or CL buffs that we kinda needed/any other major balance changes, or is it business as usual?

Only Lion's and Conqueror's cooldown time of their repair party consumables got increased to about 2 minutes.

So nothing of great note, then. Guessing they're still almost as top-tier, it's not like they didn't have every other Cruiser-level trick in their pockets to compensate.

First match back went OK, got two kills as Leander before getting blindsided by half a dozen torps.

>getting blindsided by half a dozen torps
JUSTWASDLMAOGITGUDWHATAFAGKYS

Torpedo Acceleration on the 12 km torps y/n?

No. It's only worth it on Torpedo Bombers or if you want to be extra cheeky with Gearing torps.

Yeah, I was an idiot and sailed around an island slightly too wide, and the DD lurking on the other side managed to arm his torp salvo before I could get close enough to them.

Right. What do I do with my last 2 captain points then? I initially considered it because I am tired of IJN torps not hitting shit due to the larger detection range

I could build a budget gaming PC if the GPU & RAM prices isn't fucking expensive right now

Probably invest more in 1-point skills like PM and PT? Or maybe even Jack of All Trades for faster consumable reload or even EM to make your guns somewhat usable.
PT +

Buy a used ThinkPad with a dGPU: it should be fine for this game.

Do you even be an oversized hydro destroyer in Bong cruisers? I mean, you can equip both smoke and hydro.

I believe even an RX570 or a GTX1060 already provide you smooth 1080p60@DX11-high-quality gameplay, and both of them don't really cost you a fucking kidney.

I bought a Minnie after working my way upto it on and off, thinking it would be like a t10 Atlanta, then a bee landed on me and I exploded.
It gets better, r-right guys?

Take BoS instead of either of them.

Its near impossible to get any of those cards, especially RX570 because of the fucking cryptominers. Same goes to the GTX1060. I'll just stick to my toaster then.

Brit CLs are basically destroyers with citadels, except the high-tier ones get good dakka. The problem is usually when you have no CAs or BBs to hide behind and/or they're being cowardly bastards, since if the enemy gets close we get thirty seconds of smoke and a torp volley before exploding. We die faster than the real DDs.

Not really, on the survivability front. Be brave just long enough to get smoke down over your allies or yourself then engage cowardice worthy of a Known Space Puppeteer, because once you start shooting you do tend to melt people and everyone wants your head. Getting oneshot by two spare BB shells is not uncommon, just have to learn how to wiggle properly. When you get it down and find a communicative team that will actually chain smoke to advance under cover then you feel like a god.

how long gone do you have to be for the referral code mentioned in the OP to work?

3 months or more.

fugg i just logged in, what are the premiums they give you?

Diana if you played the game for the first time. Texas if you played any non-premium T6 ships.

If you haven't played a match yet you're still eligible.

>just hit "play battle" as that was posted
probably gonna kms desu

also, what is the Ishizuchi? I have it in my port

Might still count if you do it before the battle ends.

alright neat, I'm on the NA server, anyone have a referral?

Here you go.
playtogether.worldofwarships.com/invite/J1M99Yl

it worked, I got the diana

>go to the front page of steam
>see anime girls, click because im a simple guy
>it's world of warships
should I play?

Do you have any interest in historical warships conceived and built from the late 19th century to the end of WWII?
If you don't, don't even bother downloading the game.

We have literally achieved the peak of video games with this.
Haifuri girls are too cute.

Grats. Now go grind some T6 botes

what setting stops the annoying menu loading times

or should I just move the game to my SSD

you need to enable the competent developer setting

Nothing, enjoy quality russian flash UI.

Ok I'm sort of new. Played this like two years ago and have tier 4 ships.

My question is: What is the best class of ship to rush in with a big dick and do some damage? I am playing US and Japanese destroyers but i barely do anything and die very fast. Am I just bad? Or is there a better class of ship to use?
