How do you play the German DDs starting with Gaede?
Oliver Howard
Delete this, new thread is
Charles Scott
Mostly as torpbotes that can shoot low damaging torpedoes at a fast rate, guns are not exceptional but from Z-23 onward their hydro can lead to interesting tactics.
Benjamin Anderson
Fuck off we're full
Lincoln Torres
>making a duplicated thread to edit the OP So you were really cancerous redditors like they said?
Christopher Murphy
What makes Z-23 special in that it can do stuff Gaede and Z1 can't?
Owen Scott
>thread was posted 7 minutes before this one
yeah, nah you're a cunt
Elijah Brown
Better concealment, more guns, more range on hydro. Its torpedoes are also way better. She's still a very sluggish and long ship, Benson shits on her at close range.
Aiden Sanchez
I just saw last thread, is Umi actually dead?
Brandon Cook
What was Umidoori forum posts/battles ratio again?

Not sure if venting about retards and noobs is ok here but I need to somewhere. >grinding in my Orion >its an ABC match at solomon islands >match starts decently, as expected a retard cruiser sails too far into the B channel and gets deleted by me >I head towards C flank with one other guy but not too far >huge enemy presence, my buddy gets destroyed, i take a good amount of fire and head away back towards back of B >with the enemy is a Kamikaze.

Owen Hall
>finally done with the myogi grind >aquire gongo >fuckall armor >but goes fast How do you play this thing? It feels like an oversized cruiser with less agility.
Cooper Powell
>whining about noobs in a t4/5 game like, what did you expect when half of them just started
Jacob Collins
Bongo is in a bad spot because she's been powercrept quite heavily. The best you can do is play her a bit like a kirov.
Liam Hill
>Tell your team we win by points if they live for another minute >They subsequently suicide 1 by 1 despite having ample room and cover to just run and hide I don't even.
Hunter Bell
So THIS....is the power of French secondaries....
Ian Price
I can keep the kongo alive pretty well by skirmishing with hit and runs but even after 50-60 games with her or whatevs I still have no clue how to actually hit targets with her at any range. I actually complained about this yesterday here. Not much a BB guy but the Orion and Konig's guns handle much smoother.
Charles Bennett
go fast, angle, use your range and speed if anything it will teach you to aim and not show broadside like a baBBie
Liam White
How to drive Kongo: 1. Pick your target, this should be a more valuable ship, and one in an overextended position but one being largely ignored by your team 2. Position yourself such that you have a relatively clear path to him 3. Begin moving towards your target. 4. And this is VERY IMPORTANT. Get lit on fire 5. In caps and all chat type BURNING LOVE 6. Slide your bow into his vulnerable botepussy

James Russell
What server does Luker-chan play on?
Carter Jones
Still better than ending up with idiots who just slowly follow the BB and then watch as the final wave of DDs blows it up while you went out to intercept the carrier.
Dominic Diaz
The Émile Bertin is surprisingly fun. Think i'll keep it even after I move up. Haven't had a BB wreck me in Hermes yet but plenty of runs were ended by torps.
Jonathan Myers
>Haven't had a BB wreck me in Hermes Same, which is why it was so surprising. The thunderstorm front usually makes them miss and the few hits usually overpen. I thought I got detonated or something until I checked the score screen and it was like 24k damage in 2 hits.
I never found rushing the CV to work for me as a cruiser. You either get stopped by the Hipper/Eugen/Graf squad then mauled by planes since you're away from the main group, or you get torped by the three DD's on the other side of the island.
Nathaniel Collins
La Gal is a bit of a culture shock, but I find that once you adapt, she's a better overall boat.
Owen Ward
The Charles Martell is the most fun boat I've ever had in 3 years of playing. Turn on your speed boost and watch every shell miss while you light everybody on fire.
Jaxon Rogers
>There's no sanic camo for her

>advance half-way to cap >hopelessly shoot at stuff for 8 minutes, usually it's 3 shells land in front and 3 shells land behind >enemy bb starts pushing through >ram and this is how i became a fuso
Brody Evans
So many cruiser players give me fucking aids
Jayden Turner
That's a tiny map
Jacob Gomez
Kongou Bongo is the best.
1. Start game at full speed 2.Spend game charging other ships at full speed 3. Kill everything with speed.
Seriously I find her speed and agility so much fun. I am not a great player but when I get in Kongou I usually do really well.
Cameron Taylor
It's okay I have big eyes
Joseph Garcia
Are you anime?

No it was an accident.

Jordan Carter
Is the ProShips Modpack (much) different from Aslain's, anyone know?
Ryder Carter
I think it has more crosshairs, mod that changes color of damage parts into different one, that mod that shows you player skill (I don't remember seeing those in Aslain) You can look for yourself if you want, it has English translation.
The only one I can think of is Chapayev's spotter plane. Do you ever lose a useful one?
Oliver Price

why are shit CVs allowed in game
Wyatt Ortiz
Should've WASDed, silly.
Kevin Cooper
>US CVs have AP bombs and more planes per squad >IJN has more torp squads Remind me why IJN carriers are worth bothering. Or anything IJN really.
Brody Kelly
IJN BBs are decent, only worse than bong BBs currently. Cruisers are good too.
Grayson Collins
IJN CV at higher tiers generally have more fighters and thus, better ability at air control. It's why Hakuryu and Shokaku are preferred in competitive.
Andrew Mitchell
Remember when CVnts tried to claim AP bombs would only fuck over german BB? Turns out they remove all CA and BB. Not to mention the 9-10k overpen dmg on DDs since its no different than eating a BB salvo full of overpens. They'll stay quiet in the hopes people still think of them as helpless CVs that need massive buffs
Dominic Cox
CVs are autists, don't believe a single word from them. They love to exegerate and blow things out of proportion while undermining and demeaning anyone who says a word that doesn't fit their narrative.
Cameron Wright
Because they actually get more than 1 figher squad. Grinding the Ranger is pure suffering.
Camden Collins
Is it a coincidence that almost every "good" CVnt is a shitter, angry, lying crybaby?
Nathan Rodriguez
You can say the same thing about BaBBies and DD mains. I think the only ones that don't do this shit are cruiser players, they're probably just too used to be shat on by WG
Ryan Adams
Cruiser players are known as CAutists for a reason, user.
Isaac Roberts
Nice try, CAsual.
Jeremiah Barnes
>the only ones that don't do this shit are cruiser players, they're probably just too used to be shat on by WG
hmm I wonder which class is autistically screeching and demanding buffs and killed carriers, destroyers and soon to be battleships.
Brody Robinson
ded ded ded
Samuel Parker
not as dead as all the shitty german BBs tho xD
Owen Moore
>reasonable requests for a balanced game are autistic screeching nice try, baBBie/CVnt
Daniel Wright
What can a DD do against a cruiser with radar? What can a CV do against a cruiser with AA modules?
Kill yourself, autist.
Adam Edwards
cruiser players are definitely autistic as fuck
Elijah Butler
t. BB main/CVnt
Ian Adams
why would a DD player be a BB/CV main?
Jackson Edwards
Don't bother asking questions to CAutists. They're spergs for a reason, user.
Jonathan Clark
You actually need to be on the spectrum to play CV or CA/CL in WoWs.
Just look at our CVnts and CAutists, can you really try and convince me this isn't the case?
Angel Bennett
Evade and kill an easier target. Wait out the cooldown and kill the cruiser. Spot the cruiser from outside his range and wait for the team to delete the cruiser.
>everyone who disagrees with me is an autist haha yes ecksdee
Kayden Myers
Just unlocked Donskoi and my chepeyev style dont fits on her how should I play her?
Jordan Price
>Evade and kill an easier target. Are you fucking retarded, CAutist? How the fuck will a DD "evade" radar? >Wait out the cooldown and kill the cruiser. Because a DD has to know all of the enemy's cooldown on consumables. Fuck you, not an argument. >Spot the cruiser from outside his range and wait for the team to delete the cruiser. So the point you're trying to make is that DDs are supposed to spot enemy ships and do nothing else? Not an argument, fuck off.
Not a single argument, really makes me think here.
William Jones
sup Anusmati?
Brody Gonzalez
>anumati >DD player
Do you have brain problems, CAutist?
Dominic Roberts
Are you ok, Lunatic?
Gavin Jones
Always angle away to escape before you engage an enemy. Even slowly backing up is preferable as long as you can quickly escape whenever you're getting shot by BBs. Her gun angles are good enough for kiting away. Also, never be the first one to engage. Let the other ships take the heat first before opening up.
Jose Scott
I usually play lower tiers (4-6) but lately there have been many matches against parties of rank 1 players in those tiers. Really fun when half your team doesn't even have proper commander points. Are you also such autists to do that?
Anthony Morales
There's nothing wrong with playing low tiers with friends.
I am HP_Lovesauce.
David Williams

Adam King
Stop being delusional and paranoid. There is nothing wrong with playing the lower tiers with friends.
Jace Scott
I have nothing against that, I just want HP's HP to hit zero
