can't wait for these new USN CLs

Me neither, been waiting for a good CL line for a while now. RN always seems so memey and Russians are just )))))))))

Its not gonna take people long to realize that they're just hot garbage without smoke. They'll all play like Atlanta, so your average retard will get himself deleted within the first 5 minutes. It's gonna suck ass.

So which of these are actually paper again? And didn't the USN have enough cruisers to make a full line with CA/CL split?

I don't care what the average retard does with one, it's about what I can do.

means it'll be easy to pad stats
looks like they're going to be HE DPM monsters, just need to not get hit
tier 7,8, and 10 on the new line are real
everything else is fake

If Pepsi ends up as her pre-buff state at T6 I'll be very happy.

It's ability to delete other cruisers would be a bit to OP for T6, but one can hope.

I'm a bit concerned the shells will all be like the Clevelands rainbow arcs. A 15 sec. shell travel time at TX just isn't fun.

Cleveland is fun, but I don't know how a bigger Cleveland can survive in high tier games without any form of protection (like Minotaur's smoke).

I think the main problem is the lack of range, at 14km it's hard to dodge any shots with something that has a 740m turning radius. Seems like the range upgrade would be a requirement, but that just makes me worry about the shell travel time.

>older thread with more posts and more posters is deleted
Have the chinks gone too far?

Reposting from the nuked thread.
Will there be any reason to play Worcester instead of DM?
Worcester can act as a radar trap, but that's pretty much its only advantage.

HE DPM
I thought I heard infinite DF somewhere too, plus it's on a separate slot from hydro(/radar) so maybe she'll be useful for CV AA divs

Literally protected by hotpocketeers. This is the power of pedophile autism.

what, please explain

mods delete the real general, keep letting weeb pedo's from hotel shit up threads, etc

A DM has the same consumables and has more than enough charges of defAA, also has 4 extra points not needing IFHE for an aa skill

Reminder benlisquare has been orbiting over jake for a year now

I'm new to this game, how are the USN battleships, currently rocking the St.louis

Reminder that the hotpocketeer's will never stop the hotel pedo shitposting.

They're slower than fishing boats all the way up to t8, mediocre guns, somewhat okay armor but your citadel can still be hit.
They're as boring as BBs gets.

so what you're saying is... you were too slow... to protect fellow wowsgs from the scum and villainy that is EU HOTEL

DM needs to choose between DF and Hydro
honestly worcester looks horrible though, unless she gets more buffs the whole line is dead on arrival
only "upsides" she gets are AA and HE DPM, and they're nothing special

worcester has to chose between hydro and radar. which is basically a non-decision as you take radar everytime.

Hardly. Not long ago I copped a ban for reporting literal weeb pedo posting in another general. Apparently, it was "abusing" the report system.

I did my part.

yeah you need to take it much slower, its to prevent spam, it just goes off of speed/amount
the irony that you may be reporting spam is not lost

point is you won't always have DF in DM, but you will in worcester
not that it matters, because AA spec looks completely different from DD-hunting spec either way, and worcester looks like she's gonna be shit in every way

I'd like to know the exact detectability range before I concede your latter point.

Maximum speed - 33 kt.
Turning circle radius - 740 m.
Rudder shift time – 10.7 s.
Surface detectability – 12.4 km.
Air detectability – 9.1 km.
Detectability after firing main guns in smoke – 6.0 km.

for about 4 seconds there i had fun i guess, how the fuck do i play this game, literally every guide is just "play everything to t5" but when the fuck do i get more free ship slots to actually do this?

Trying T1 games doesn't help either as everyone is too retarded for me to learn anything.

>T4 carrier deleting any DD
The gaps between the torps are actually bigger than the DD itself plus they don't have manual drops. T4 and 5 carriers are basically useless against DDs.
Try to research your shit before talking shit.

Just sell older ships when you go up, you're on t3 why would you need that many slots.
Beside a select few all low tier ships are shit and not worth keeping anyway.

Hosho can do it with a well placed cross drop

>enemy is literally capping the flag
>attacking a borderline AFK player on the opposite end of the map when ~300+ score remain

Yeah why try anything and instead lose by cap?

Why does T9-T10 get so significantly worse from a gameplay standpoint? You get much easier steamrolled than any tier before especially when you are stuck at T8.

I'm going to report that discord for sexism and sexual harassment and Greg as well. The internet should be a safe space for women

Everything is bigger and longer. The margin of error shrinks dramatically.

It's pretty frustrating because it feels like absolute cancer as a T8. It's a "poor little warships" situation whenever I land in T9 and T10.

Hotel is thicc tho

DoA. Please make it Argentinian I want some reeee

This is on a whole new level of bad USN AA. Murica 152 has lower damage per mount than 127mm

>EU HOTEL in the OP again
Friendly reminder that HOTEL EU is NOT part of /wowsg/ and that their (((leader))) is a azerbaijani muslim brony living in sweden, backed by 300ConfirmedCucks, a muslim living in (((britain))).

CVs hurt DDs much more than they hurt BBs

Veeky Forums was a mistake.

For some reason the more I see about upcoming split the less excited I get. Maybe it is because I dislike light cruisers

Was my exact first thought as well, short range ship that handles like shit.

So I started working my way up the USN cruisers before hearing about the line split. If I get a Cleveland now do I lose it or does it suddenly become a higher tier ship and leave a gap or what?

WG hasn't announced split rules yet, but usually it is you get new ship of the same tier as what you owned, but at the same time you get to keep ship that moved on its new tier.
So you get "new" T6 USN CL and "old" Cleveland that is now T8, and if you had prem camo on ship you get prem camo on both.

Forgot a part.

OK, should probably play my Omaha a bit before the split then. Do we know when it's happening?

I'd guess late spring or early summer.

>Do we know when it's happening?
Well they jut announced Worcester, it should take at least 2 patches to balance so my guess is 0.7.5 (6 weeks away) or 0.7.6 (9 weeks away)

Honestly, Flint seems like a nicer reward ship, desu.

OP is not a faggot this occasion. Good job!

What did you expect when the Untermenschen were trying to build a warship?
Seriously, read up on the planned construction for Sovetsky Soyuz.
Comrade, we can't make 16" armor plate!

Ironically in WoWS that would be actual improvement, since shell would have to pass 2 bounce checks.

I know, comrade. I know.

>"Clear Skies" achievement is removed and replaced with 2 new ones. "King of the Skies" requires to down 55 enemy planes with an air carrier and "Air Defense Expert" requires to destroy 40 enemy planes with all the other classes.

So the same thing except way harder to get.
Is the reward the same 10 AA flags?

Will they introduce the rest of the Italian Fleet eventualy?

I want all my axis botes in the game already!

>utterly shit at the new unlocked ship

How the fuck does this happen? Usually you'd notice slight improvements but not in Warships.

I don't get this game.

Hi Stark

But Rule 6 clearly states that there are no women on /wowsg/.

This, also Jake is actually an Asian Male, honest mistake I know

ded

No redditors were kicked that day, in HOTEL EU it's legit /wowsg/ people that get kicked to make space for reddit shitters.

Only to t8.
t9 is pure shit.
t10 requires a very specific build to even work.

They're still the most fun overall. I enjoyed them more than the awful slow ass burger BBs, or the sniper shitter IJN BBs or the OP as fuck RN BBs

>Clear Sky getting split
>Still hard to achieve because you either kill 55 plons as CVnt or 40 as others in a single match to obtain either split achievement
