[wheat valley]

funny ship

[clever terrace]

Personally I can't wait for him to be bombed out of existence by a US or Malta

[unkempt mantle]

[clever terrace]

If he even makes it up there

[wheat valley]

what bout superships

[unkempt mantle]

I'm gonna see what he complains about first

[clever terrace]

I mean

Overmatched by 20" guns much?

[unkempt mantle]

We don't have that yet

Honestly would love it though

[wheat valley]

they are expensive tho

[clever terrace]

yeah

You have three options, Incomparable, Shikishima, or Satsuma

last one is especialla atrocious imo

[unkempt mantle]

Would take Incomparable

[clever terrace]

because haha -35% dispersion pretty much on demand

[unkempt mantle]

"The problem I have with PC is how slow it is, like, Legends is just so much faster."
Mfw Legends is supposed to be a faster paced version of the game

Ok, surprisingly, he's not complaining about CVs or subs, he's complaining about game mechanics and teammates

[wheat valley]

idk if i can make in time to get all the rewards

[digital prairie]

Eugen?

[clever terrace]

Is she obtainable?

[digital prairie]

Yes?

[clever terrace]

Oh

[digital prairie]

Why would Eugen get removed from sale

It’s a worse Atago

[clever terrace]

well, that's on me then

I just assume every premium ship is unobtainable, since FOMO tactics :/

[digital prairie]

That’s only the new ones that are like that

[clever terrace]

well would you look at that

I stand corrected

wait

they-

they did het

[digital prairie]

I’m not sure how that’s going to work tbh

Unless they release a balanced version of Enterprise

[clever terrace]

thijs ig friengy my monkey as sbeain

that fried my monkey brain

[digital prairie]

Like, they aren’t just going to release a camo for Enterprise with that

Since Enterprise is removed from sale

[clever terrace]

the rush of skeptical optimism

[digital prairie]

So, balanced version of enterprise?

[clever terrace]

Maybe

holy fuck

I am so getting slammed

nvm i got lucky

[clever terrace]

saddest kill I think I've ever gotten

for an amazing 19 damage

[unkempt mantle]

Nah, I did a whole 3 damage to a Pensacola with a torpedo once

Launched torps at a BB and almost dead Pensa threw herself away to protect BB

[cold flower]

I'm guessing the best way to grind for the golden coin thingy is via missions right?

[wheat valley]

Only ranked, and sometime if you have luck youll get them with supercontainers

[cold flower]

Nah ye cus I really want the Prinz Eugen

Sry it's not want

It's need

[unkempt mantle]

"Ooh, look at me! I can't counterplay a CV!"

The last time I got focused by a CV, he lost 32 planes before he even hit me, and even then it was a torpedo for 5k damage out of my 50something thousand HP pool

Sure dude, I had no fun at all that game

[digital prairie]

technically the best way to get them is to buy them

Although doing it the F2P way and getting them through ranked is better for a new player, as you shouldn’t just jump straight into high tiers before you have gotten a high tier tech tree ship

[clever terrace]

had a CV last night who was harassing our team, causing me to jokingly say "I blame the Japanese for this"

his response was to tell me to "just dodge"

so I did

dodged every strike he sent my way then force fed his citadel six AP shells

he then complained about BBs saying that their shells do too much damage, to which I responded with "just dodge"

they also complained about USN AA being "OP" after I shot down two planes because he didn't bother to dodge flak

i have never lost so many braincells as a result of one man's idiocy before

48 planes downed, btw

[unkempt mantle]

Mfw my California flak bursts can delete 4 planes in 2 seconds for any CV not paying attention

[unkempt mantle]

Me reading WoWsL community post comments

[bronze edge]

[unkempt mantle]

So....
I just had a guy tell me that I didn't shoot down 32 planes in one battle

What does bro think he knows

[bronze edge]

@wheat valley we did a funny! XD

[clever terrace]

this ain't funny

this is hilarious

[unkempt mantle]

Trickshotting a high tech drone with an F-22

[unkempt mantle]

367K

[mellow wraith]

i got silly guy

[grand radish]

Ahh yes, the belkan witchcraft techniques

[wheat valley]

nice

time to grind the stars again just for baltimore skin

[bronze edge]

is it out now?

oh it opens for me tomorrow

[unkempt mantle]

i do this all the time now since learning how

its actually very effective when fighting the more maneuverable enemies like the drones and Mr. X

im now going to shoot an enemy aircraft carrier with an experimental railgun

[wheat valley]

why i am the only one have this issue smh

[clever terrace]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[bronze edge]

what's there to be scared about

[grand mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/blue-archive-bluesechi-neru-goober-angry-gif-7051726583266374458

[unkempt mantle]

Thats just crazy damage

[cold flower]

I'm saving up for the anniversary banner

[bronze edge]

untimate Admiral Dreadnaughts?

[wide onyx]

@cursive dune do you play Atelier Resna?

[cursive dune]

Nah

Only gacha I play is AL

[wide onyx]

[kind niche]

Yes

[unkempt mantle]

Is that game free? Also how does it work?

[digital prairie]

i was the last ship alive for the last 10 minutes of the operation

[bronze edge]

[bronze edge]

it's sadly not free, but think of it as a battleship builder game

[kind niche]

Nah it's 35 dollars on steam

[bronze edge]

where then you have your AI control the ships you've made and fight other AI

[unkempt mantle]

interesting

[bronze edge]

IIRC you can control your own ships and do an RTS style campaign

and they're working on a multiplayer at the moment

[bronze edge]

so how does the new set work, do you play as the axis and defend against an onslaught of enemies or?

[digital prairie]

yes

german DDs only, defending the beach from a ton of allied ships

also the more teammates you lose, your ship starts getting buffed to make up for it
since i was the last alive for 10 minutes, i had a constant +0.35% heal per second going the entire time

which is how i tanked 51k damage in a DD without dying

[bronze edge]

so it's like the halloween operation?

where the more who sink the remaining get stronger?

[unkempt mantle]

I wish we had special missions like those

[digital prairie]

yes

[bronze edge]

play PC it's great!

[unkempt mantle]

Unfortunately we just get the dumb space/halloween operations

[bronze edge]

joke

[unkempt mantle]

I would love to

But to do that, I need a PC

[bronze edge]

all you need is a laptop with an I5 chip and some intergrated graphics

that's what i did for awhile until I built a pc

[unkempt mantle]

A chromebook is all I have rn

I dont even think I can put games on this that arent from the google play store

[digital prairie]

[bronze edge]

yikes...

[bronze edge]

save moneys to get a laptoped?

[unkempt mantle]

probably not tbh

[bronze edge]

unlucky

[bronze edge]

flying the Manjuu flag

[clever terrace]

how do you get that flag?

how does one acquire such an item

[bronze edge]

AL event

do some mission during the event and get it

or maybe they've made it exclusive

[clever terrace]

I didn't see combat missions for the AL event

[bronze edge]

was there last year and two years ago

[grand radish]

probably when they collab again, july - augest this year

[bronze edge]

AL event is going on right now

[clever terrace]

is it still on?

[bronze edge]

probs?

oh wait no

ended yesterday/last night.

[grand radish]

yeah but the combat mission is not there right?

[clever terrace]

sigh

It's a Wave 3 exclusive

[grand radish]

oh rip

[bronze edge]

hmm

this was the 5th? or 6th?

[unkempt mantle]

I just want my Atago commander in Legends

[bronze edge]

you're not getting her anytime soon, same with Shoukaku

Voice actor stuff or smth

[unkempt mantle]

I have Shokaku

Shokaku wasnt removed i dont think

she was with the event that brought back the previous waves

Atago is the only one thats been removed that I know of

[bronze edge]

oxy doesn't

and he's angy

[unkempt mantle]

lol

she doesnt do much

[bronze edge]

because AL shoukaku makes Hakuryuu like giga busted

[unkempt mantle]

Same skills as Tanaka basically

not Tanaka

thats DD

whoever the CV commander is

[bronze edge]

i see. probs have the same skills but high buffs on them or smth

[unkempt mantle]

Nah, all skills have the same rates

event commanders have a special skill though

[bronze edge]

hmm wonder why oxy malds about her then..

[unkempt mantle]

I dont remember what hers does though

[bronze edge]

iirc haku is like the most busted CV in legends

but I could be wrong

[unkempt mantle]

Ik her base trait increases CV speed

i think her special skill just increases plane HP a bit

ill look rq

oh its not HP

Crane's Protection skill:

[bronze edge]

we love shoukaku

[main depot]

Shoukaku buffs both plane concealment.

[unkempt mantle]

plane detectability -2%/-4%/-7%/-10%

at respective levels

[main depot]

It's really fun having to shoot down 6km or less planes.

[timid mantle]

I'm officially out because I know when I have to take my exit I'm out of here, like EA & Bioware you officially lost a fan from me a person who liked Dragon Age now it isn't the same as I know on Dragon Age on its latest entry so I'm out of here!

[bronze edge]

ok, anyways

[unkempt mantle]

[bronze edge]

don't you love planes suddenly showing up on your forehead

[bronze edge]

completely unrelated XD

[main depot]

Especially because AA has to make visual contact to start shooting.

[bronze edge]

but i we do love the lucky crane

[clever terrace]

das war plötzlich, aber es geht weiter

[unkempt mantle]

Also Oxy, wasnt California AA 5km range before?

I swear it was

But its 6km now

[main depot]

AA mod

[unkempt mantle]

?

is that what changed?

[main depot]

Yeah, everything defaults to 20% less flak range than PC.

[unkempt mantle]

oh i see

only the flak guns increased

[bronze edge]

also AL Atago isn't coming back.. right Oxy? or am I just crazy

[unkempt mantle]

no, shes probably not

unfortunately

[main depot]

Yeah, Shoukaku and Atago in the shadow realm.

[unkempt mantle]

I will never have my darling to yell at me while I get shot at by half of the enemy team

honestly though

I really wanted the base trait

but now we have a commander that got added for the light cruisers whos legendary skill is Atagos base trait plus extra stats

[main depot]

Also, my friend asked the devs about the EULA and data mining. He learned some neat things.

[unkempt mantle]

so now all im really upset of not having is her voice

[unkempt mantle]

?

[main depot]

Yeah, he found out he could access game files from mobile and the devs said they technically can't prevent accessing the files on your own hardware.

[unkempt mantle]

So I found this reddit post from a while ago

"Her base trait is useless for a class of ships that rarely moves much"
The only CV players who dont move their ships are the bad ones lol

[bronze edge]

XD

sit still and gets sniped

XD

[main depot]

CVs have bad concealment and armor, no reason to move.

[unkempt mantle]

There definitely is

[unkempt mantle]

CV sniping divisions like pc has with a CV and 2 BBs wont work for us anymore, although I doubt theyd be as good on Legends as they are in PC anyway

[main depot]

BB range is the limiting factor.

[unkempt mantle]

Only way to CV snipe in legends now is with a CV

[main depot]

Or a Shimakaze

[unkempt mantle]

that and the fact that the div's CV cant spot it anymore

[digital prairie]

The survivability onion. The best way to not die is to not get shot in the first place, and moving the CV accomplishes that

[main depot]

Where do you hide something with 12-13km concealment?

[bronze edge]

PC cv sniping? lol I don't trust my BBs to snipe for me.. I'll just snipe the CV myself as the CVs

[unkempt mantle]

behind islands

or in the back until you can safely push up

only time I get spotted in a CV is by the enemy CV or when my team lets a DD through

[timid mantle]

I might go for a mini angry rant on Dragon Age.

[bronze edge]

Super secret mission shima XD

we love those

[unkempt mantle]

Shima is legendary tier for us so luckily for me i dont have to deal with those

...yet

the annoying one is Kamikaze

[bronze edge]

oh boy

4.4km detect Kami

[unkempt mantle]

And the occasional Fubuki who somehow misses her torps and starts gunboating

[bronze edge]

i recall hearing those horror stories

[bronze edge]

[unkempt mantle]

honestly

Kamikaze might be the only ship I call OP

well, maybe Friesland too

although Friesland is less OP and more just really annoying to everything

[bronze edge]

friesland no torps no problem

[unkempt mantle]

the guns are the problem

lol

[bronze edge]

ah yes.. the 1.6 base reload that can go bonkers

and 120mm high angle guns

[timid mantle]

It started out strong in Dragon Age: Origins which is excellent, it did okay with Dragon Age II even through I may like Dragon Age II but I don't love it so its not all that bad it just had its fair share of problems, then Dragon Age: Inquisition came and it had big maps I have at least played Dragon Age: Inquisition.

[clever terrace]

polar opposite of a friendly Harugumo I played with last night

he fucked up early game leaving him on 107 HP

then proceeded to go unspotted the whole game

[unkempt mantle]

lol

[clever terrace]

and pulled a win out of his ass

[unkempt mantle]

Ive done that before

[clever terrace]

we were 255 - 792

[bronze edge]

XD

[clever terrace]

ended at 866 - 401

[bronze edge]

lol how

[clever terrace]

Fuck if I know

[unkempt mantle]

screwed up real bad in my first Icarus game and went most of the game trying to stay unspotted with like 2k HP

[clever terrace]

Gigachad magic

[unkempt mantle]

only got spotted again when I started shooting the CV at the very end

[clever terrace]

nice

[unkempt mantle]

game wasnt super close though

we only lost like 4 ships i think

[clever terrace]

that man really said "1v7? i gotchu bro"

[unkempt mantle]

Lol

[bronze edge]

been there... won that once...

with shoukau

[timid mantle]

However, that the latest Dragon Age entry that all of the companions are pansexual folks PANSEXUAL!? Okay now I got NOTHING against the LGBT community so I got nothing against the homosexual people (Gay guys & lesbian ladies), nothing against the bisexual people, & nothing against the transgender folks it was their rights & let them do whatever they want to do. However you don't have to force it upon me.

[clever terrace]

rip internet

[unkempt mantle]

What is happening

[clever terrace]

[unkempt mantle]

[bronze edge]

no clue

[clever terrace]

Though I do know it's a case of cope

[bronze edge]

head empty..

[clever terrace]

[digital prairie]

what in the goddamn

[clever terrace]

don't ask

I should heed my own advice, actually

my head has been hurting like a bitch the whole day and I can feel it getting worse

[timid mantle]

I didn't like the new direction where Dragon Age is going with its latest entry.

[unkempt mantle]

Hope you feel better soon

[bronze edge]

get well

[timid mantle]

So I know when I have to take my exit from a gaming series.

[wheat valley]

Ty Latias

[bronze edge]

hm?

what he do this time?

oh he gifted you that?

[wheat valley]

ye

[bronze edge]

that's nice of him

[bronze edge]

also the new operation is kinda goofy with only DDs

[wheat valley]

it is? whats the tier for the operation?

[bronze edge]

for me it's 5-7 iirc

and only german DDs

[wheat valley]

oh as the previous one well i have 1 dd german

and its karl von schonberg

[bronze edge]

same

great DD for ranked

but yeah all german dds and it's kinda like mid?

[wheat valley]

depends

[digital prairie]

The 4 they give to use in the operation are pretty cool

One is a torp boat with TRB, one is ZF-6 lite, one is the classic hydro/smoke and one is basically Paolo

[bronze edge]

i guess this is okay

[wheat valley]

better than nothing

[sharp rapids]

I’m very jealous because my old computer went boom and I am forced to play world of warships legends on Xbox

I wish I can still play world of warships on pc

[elfin galleon]

its hard to get 5 star they said... this was my first try and i didnt even practice on the pts

[wheat valley]

Tbh it depends on your team i got 2-4 stars so far

[glacial anvil]

This was way too close for comfort

[bronze edge]

[clever terrace]

my brother in christ what the FUCK do you mean

It's a god damn brick with engines

fuck you mean "excellent flight characteristics"

among other bricks with engines (all Phantoms) maybe

[digital prairie]

@bronze edge @clever terrace least aggressive Daisen gameplay

[clever terrace]

looks about right

[livid garden]

I wish WeeGee would add FGD to the Azur Lane collab.

[clever terrace]

Playing D-Day gamemode
farming damage off a broadside Nelson
dodge torps, forcing me broadside to the Nelson
turn out to avoid incoming salvo
free look in front of me
Benson torpedo

We'll Be Right Back

[half elbow]

I mean if you compare it to other phantoms it’s true but F-16 doesn’t care

[clever terrace]

that's what I'm saying

are we even sure it outperforms an F-4E?

like, in terms of maneuverability?

[half elbow]

Maybe in a rate fight cause it's lighter

I don't even know if it has agile eagle upgrade

[clever terrace]

is it lighter than the 4E?

cause if it is then there's basically no need for the Agile Eagle package

[half elbow]

Yeah the F-4F ICE is the lightest F-4 in the game

[clever terrace]

Well then

[clever terrace]

[grand radish]

[clever terrace]

what makes it funnier

is the guy's name

[clever terrace]

yes.

Yes.

https://tenor.com/view/yes-plankton-drooling-gif-14210723

[unkempt mantle]

it was training battle

not actual battle

forgot to mention that

did training battle with Cali vs Haku just to see how many planes I could shoot down

[clever terrace]

ah

112 is still a lot lmao

i didn't even know there was this much damage to farm in this operation

[clever terrace]

It's so over

[clever terrace]

110k off the Nelson?

le fuck?

[digital prairie]

i don't think it has DCP
i had it on fire for a while before torp rushing it

[unkempt mantle]

I probably laughed for 15 minutes at that

Idk why it's so funny, it just is

[sage harness]

wth

Z-52 or elbing

[bronze edge]

It's a d-day op

[sage harness]

k

im choosing to go down to elbing but i get curb stomped the moment i get detected

at Z-31 rn

ive found so far the only way ive been able to survive is to play like a coward

[clever terrace]

"I don't got this"

"Maybe I do"

"I got this"

average WoWS/WT match for me, in terms of the whole "I don't got this" part

[sage harness]

maybe i should switch classes and countries [again]

[digital prairie]

DDs are not supposed to facetank things no

[sage harness]

i was gonna say something till i realised i sounded like an idiot

which i am

[digital prairie]

like, the most tanky DDs in the game, Neustrashimy, Khabarovsk and Lushun still all die very quick if they get focused

and those either have armor, really good heals or both

most DDs have none of either of those options

[sage harness]

maybe i need to reconsider my poor choice of not looking up guides

now that im considering and questioning things again, why did i even try getting elbing in the first place

[digital prairie]

Elbing is a good ship, but probably not a good introduction to DDs, since it doesn't play like one

[sage harness]

was aware of that

people already warned me it was a CL with CA guns

and maybe now is a good time to possibly reconsider 'why didnt i just become a cruiser?'

i already had decent experience with some

[digital prairie]

crusiers are a pretty painful experience when you are new

[sage harness]

why did i become a USN bb player and then a german dd player

[digital prairie]

low tier cruisers don't have the armor or the health to deal with any mistakes

[sage harness]

i could consider becoming a cruiser again

or i should stop being a whiny bitch and actually put in work

[digital prairie]

up to you

[sage harness]

also is the slow ass torpedo speed gonna continue down the german dd line?

[digital prairie]

on Elbing yes

[sage harness]

well

f u c k

[digital prairie]

Elbing line has slow torps with a lot of range, Z52 has faster torps with less range

like, 10.5km range on Z52 vs the 13.5 on Elbing

[sage harness]

i only thought of playing elbing line cause i liked the fact it had what i would consider ok AP

[digital prairie]

Elbing's AP will ruin all other DD AP for you, since it literally doesn't behave like DD AP

[sage harness]

was mildly aware of that

its really just a cruiser filling a dd spot

[digital prairie]

most DD AP is still worth using on broadside targets since it will still do more damage than HE will, but Elbing is a special case since it usually citadels things

[sage harness]

ahhhhhh

now i know why i get citadels

[digital prairie]

like people really sleep on DD AP, a salvo that does 2k damage isn't a ton, but with the ROF of most DDs, it adds up really quick

[sage harness]

if i were to become a cruiser

which line would you recommend if my demands were:
rip through things
not die in one shot
have a decent rof

[digital prairie]

none of them

[sage harness]

very well then

half expecting that as an answer :p

[digital prairie]

crusiers are generally either

1. really good damage farmers
2. somewhat tanky

[sage harness]

time to die

[digital prairie]

there's basically none of them that are both

[sage harness]

damage farmer it is

[digital prairie]

US CAs are a good line to start with

Des Moines is a little fragile but it shits out so much damage

[sage harness]

hmm

what about its predecessors, like the grinding process

[digital prairie]

enjoyable

generally they have good armor, better bow/stern plating than same tier crusiers

they die if you show side, but that's a crusier thing

[sage harness]

THATS AN EVERYTHING THING

[digital prairie]

Baltimore at T8 is one of the better T8 CAs in the game IMO, good damage output and a stealth radar

[sage harness]

you show your side and youre gonna get fucked no matter what

[sage harness]

oo

monkey brain gets triggered by the word radar

ive never used a radar before

[digital prairie]

also, all of them have improved AP pen angles starting at T6 with pensacola

[sage harness]

whats it like?

[digital prairie]

it's a consumable that spots anything in range while it's active

[sage harness]

ok, what are the downsides of the us cruiser line

T6 above that is

i dont care about t5 below

[digital prairie]

they die really quick if you misposition in them, range is sort of limited and the gun arcs at range suck

[sage harness]

ok, this is acceptable

i will consider this option

thank you for the information

[digital prairie]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48imnzOIA-I

if you want a good example of what a DM can do

[sage harness]

thank you :]

[sage harness]

is it just me or is omaha fragile as shit?

you hit it once and it gets most of its health g o n e

[unkempt mantle]

In my experience, they have this nasty habit of randomly exploding when a BB sees you

[sage harness]

somethings thats making me sad is that i have to actually learn kiting

cruiser feels like an especially nerdy ass ship to play

like you actually have to learn shit?

[unkempt mantle]

I mean

you kinda gotta learn how to play anything

some just takes more time

[sage harness]

but for like cruiseres especially

i have to read shit? man :[

at least im learning kiting so thats new

but im still an idiot so thats not new

[unkempt mantle]

well, playstyles can change a little between pc and legends, but what doesnt change is that they will spontaneously combust

which is actually just most cruisers tbh

[sage harness]

i feel like this implies for anything

even among bbs

you reveal your broadside

be prepared to get gangbanged by a group of ships that appear out of nowhere

for dds

[digital prairie]

the only crusier that doesn't instantly die when someone shoots it is Napoli

[sage harness]

ohhhh napoli

[digital prairie]

the main guns on it are terrible however

[unkempt mantle]

you can definitely get chunked pretty hard if youre broadside, but in my experience, actually getting a devstrike on a BB with guns and not torpedoes is a little rare

[sage harness]

i was considering napoli as an option between montana, elbing and napoli

[digital prairie]

well Napoli isn't tech tree

[sage harness]

but i never considered it too much since yeah

[sage harness]

then i cant even get the mf in the first place

[unkempt mantle]

i cant remember if we have Elbing in legends

i think we do

[sage harness]

im pretty sure you do

[sage harness]

im not spending 250k coal on an italian cruiser

from what ive heard, italian ships cant aim for shit

[digital prairie]

it's a T10 premium

getting one literally without spending any money sounds like a good idea to me

besides, what else do you spend coal on besides ships

[sage harness]

other ships

that i like

and not an italian one

[unkempt mantle]

[sage harness]

may be sexy but sexiness doesnt matter if it cant hit for shit

also im getting pensacola soon and from what ive seen and heard

its a walking citadel

[unkempt mantle]

it is

[sage harness]

like i vividly remember planting 4 citadel hits right in it in a row

[digital prairie]

if you show side, yes

[sage harness]

well then the idiot was showing their side

[digital prairie]

against some BBs, it's one of the hardest to kill T6 CAs in the game because of the plating

now if you overmatch 25mm the armor means nothing

but against 356s or smaller you can bounce their shells

[sage harness]

oh jesus christ, this thing is more ugly than i thought

went all length zero girth

round as hell

wth

[unkempt mantle]

Ignoring the goofy edits, heres a clip of Pensa doing what she does best
Exploding

[sage harness]

oh what in gods name

ok time to test this thing out

god i wanna move to t7 this thing is fine but the turrets are starting to get to me

why are they so rounded

and long

and jesus christ that gun traverse speed

shit rusty or smth?

[unkempt mantle]

nah, US CA gun traverse is kinda long in general I think

[sage harness]

the damage better make up for it

[unkempt mantle]

it can

cruisers imo are just hard to play bc unlike BBs and DDs, every single cruiser has a different playstyle

[sage harness]

ok so this thing sent an omaha to hell

thats something

i like sending ships to hell

[unkempt mantle]

I always played Omaha as an island camping, HE spamming rat, Pensa I played as a cruiser/destroyer killer, and New Orleans Im probably going to also play as an Island camper since she has the high angle guns and easy cit

[sage harness]

should i be facing forward at a bb or kiting?

if its alone

[digital prairie]

depends what caliber guns it has

[digital prairie]

probably bow in

it doesn't overmatch and SAP needs like 80 degrees of angling to bounce

[unkempt mantle]

I just broadside those
Silly italy dispersion in legends does the dodging for me

german too

[sage harness]

nueve de julio approaching

should i be concerned

[digital prairie]

yes

[unkempt mantle]

we dont have that so idk

[digital prairie]

it's a Helena with a superheal and worse reload

[unkempt mantle]

ah

[sage harness]

engage in combat?

oh wth is that heal

jesus christ

it went from 49 to 62 in a few seconds

[digital prairie]

SAP is so bullshit

[sage harness]

ok so new thing

i need to work on positioning

cause i got gangbanged by a nueva de julio and a new mexico

[unkempt mantle]

pizza time

[sage harness]

ive never had to constantly worry about being shredded because i usually played US BBs

des moines better be worth the constant anxiety i get from existing

[digital prairie]

DM is one of the best T10s in the game

[sage harness]

an idiotic uganda tried to broadside me to fire torps

and then i landed 4 citadels in its ass

very funny

[clever terrace]

They have the nasty habit of exploding when anything sees you

Unless that something is firing HE

[unkempt mantle]

[clever terrace]

that's a superheal for ya

we also call them portable 3D printers

two guesses as to why

[sage harness]

already darned as hell heard of people referring to em as portable 3d printers

first time was in a yuro video

[clever terrace]

I call them matter rearrangers

[sage harness]

i call em bullshit

[digital prairie]

industrial strength copium

[clever terrace]

Cause with 3D printers you still gotta make the repairs

matter rearrangers just take whatever and turn it into hull plating right there

[clever terrace]

REAL

[sage harness]

im taking a break cause im about to die from how much im stressing over gameplay everytime i join a game

moment i join i get anxiety of being shot once and then exploding

how did i play german cruisers without constant anxiety a year ago?

[clever terrace]

ykw maybe I should try the British BBs

[clever terrace]

damn, I was the one death on my team

it was a devstrike that got me too - ate six Yamagiri torps :)

[sage harness]

im scoring decent games with pensacola

probably because i have guns

that can shoot

i feel like everybody who broadsides you instantly thinks youre a helpless light cruiser unable to pen them

[unkempt mantle]

there are two types of BB players:
Those who shoot cruisers to get free devstrikes
And those who shoot cruisers to get free devstrikes and get nothing but overpens

[sage harness]

ive had bbs whove thought i was an easy meal

only to broadside

and have me chip out thousands of their health while they get nothing

[unkempt mantle]

happens

I should play Atago again today

cant wait to set a BB on fire and then spontaneously combust

[bronze edge]

XD

[sage harness]

i cannot count the amount of times i have had to teach a random queen elizabeth that just because im a cruiser does not mean i cannot pen you

[unkempt mantle]

Lizzie is a funny ship

not a good one

but a funny one

especially when you get enemy BBs that insta DCP one fire

[sage harness]

i often engage with elizabeths if theyre alone

but for new mexico, i tend to ignore them

[unkempt mantle]

I had a NM that DCP one fire
Next salvo sets 3

[sage harness]

even if new mexico cant aim for shit 12 projectiles is intimidating as hell

[sage harness]

thats a habit i eventually got out of

[unkempt mantle]

the difference in dispersion between Tennessee and NM for us is ridiculous

[sage harness]

i wonder how new orleans is gonna perform

[unkempt mantle]

I will laserbeam the frick out of a destroyer in Tennessee, meanwhile NM will completely bracket a BB

[sage harness]

h m

[unkempt mantle]

imagine BB/Omaha interaction and then move that to T6 (T7 on PC probably)

[sage harness]

isnt that just death

[unkempt mantle]

yes

[sage harness]

oh

[unkempt mantle]

thats why I stopped playing NO and shes been in my port with only like 10k xp for a while

not sure if it gets better or not

[sage harness]

are you a legends player

[unkempt mantle]

yes

[sage harness]

maybe its different then

[unkempt mantle]

probably

[sage harness]

but i barely see people play new orleans so

[unkempt mantle]

theres a lot different between pc and legends

Im gonna play Atago today
and someone is going to suffer

it will either be my enemies when i burn them to the ground
or myself when my ship explodes a few seconds after that funny little eye symbol appears

[sage harness]

what is this?

pensacola sandwich

[unkempt mantle]

actually

what if i played NO again

[sage harness]

go ahead

[unkempt mantle]

Same gameplay probably

set a BB on fire and explode

[sage harness]

im almost halfway to getting new orleans

[unkempt mantle]

average cruiser gameplay

[sage harness]

i just ap the hell outta people until they finally get one good shot on them and run away

[unkempt mantle]

i forgot to turn my xbox off so its been sitting on the home menu for 4 1/2 hours

whoopsies

[clever terrace]

I DCP'd a triple fire once

[sage harness]

i forgot to turn my brain on so its just been there for my entire life

[clever terrace]

Got quad perma'd for it

[unkempt mantle]

oof

[clever terrace]

[digital prairie]

No BB is safe from cruiser AP if it’s showing side

Doesn’t take much to pen the upper belt and get full pens

[clever terrace]

I got saved by my F key, though

[unkempt mantle]

what does that do

idk what pc buttons do

[clever terrace]

It's pretty fucken funny to just be able to basically ignore a quad fire

[unkempt mantle]

ah

[digital prairie]

That’s a supership only thing though

With a few exceptions

[unkempt mantle]

theres a guy in my fleet thats been inactive since the day he joined

what

why he still here

its been 6 months

[clever terrace]

ow

i got deleted by a Wisconsin

[unkempt mantle]

oof

what ship you playing

[clever terrace]

Missouri

farmin credits

[unkempt mantle]

ah

[clever terrace]

the Wisconsin in question had a 9 or so second reload on his guns

[unkempt mantle]

how

[clever terrace]

Managed demorcracy lookin ass

[digital prairie]

F key, Halsey and almost dead?

[clever terrace]

Yep

[clever terrace]

Wisky's F key slices her reload in half, plus -80% consumables cooldown

and she keeps the amazing USN DCP/heal

[digital prairie]

Combine that with the 20% reload buff from getting a specific achievement with Halsey as the captain and AR too

[unkempt mantle]

jesus

[clever terrace]

yep

[digital prairie]

Halsey my beloved

[clever terrace]

he was on about a third of his HP left so

[digital prairie]

So yeah that’s another like 13-14% reload buff from AR

[clever terrace]

yep

it was just over for me because my entire team ignored him just because he was sniping from like 25 km

then he appears on my broadside

14 km away

ain't gonna lie I heard the Cloaker sound effect watching those shells come in

[unkempt mantle]

alr its NO time

[clever terrace]

no as in "no, fuck you", or New Orleans

[unkempt mantle]

NO as in New Orleans as well as i definitely should not be doing this

they have a California
My crew is gonna light some unintentional fireworks in a second

[clever terrace]

💀

[unkempt mantle]

ok yeah

i definitely cannot play cruisers

i got murdered by a Rooke

[sage harness]

i am 20k away from being able to research orl newleans

[clever terrace]

speaking of New Orleans I need to at least try her out

[digital prairie]

i've got almost nothing left to grind i just realized
only tech tree T10s i still need to get are Bungo, 2501, Thrasher, Gdansk and San Martin

[clever terrace]

shhhh

reset your lines

try some wacky builds

[clever terrace]

I love these fights ngl

me when British BB:

[digital prairie]

that man does not know the jumbo special of "track and barrel torture"

[clever terrace]

no he does not

nor does he seem to know that he can just drive away as he has a turret to get a shot on your side while you struggle to turn

[digital prairie]

first shot is always a shot to the barrel

then .50 the tracks out

literally can't do anything at that point

[sage harness]

a broadsiding hyuga thought i was helpless since i had a third of my hp chipped out

i essentially was and i died doing what i did but not without deleting half of its hp and letting my team deal with the rest

[digital prairie]

Casual 2.7k BXP in a T6

pan american CLs are a fun line honestly

[sage harness]

so something ive come upon and revolutionized my thinking

is

stop challenging battleships

hunt destroyers and other cruisers

[sage harness]

kek

[bronze edge]

I died so early XD

but we topped

omaha op

[unkempt mantle]

dying early is a perk of playing Omaha

play Omaha, and you get to play another ship quickly

[clever terrace]

New Orleans has been pretty fucking fun so far

and i just noticed it's 0157 for me

oops :p

[sage harness]

new orleans is fun but this thing is so fragile

i cant afford to get hit once

and i cant pursue a ship or else i get gangbanged

i kite and i still get anal fucked by a battleship

its also not helping that this is around the time the uptiers start to get relatively large

t7 to t8 or t9 is a massive jump in my opinion :p

[clever terrace]

she appeals to the "run around and be an annoying fucking rat" part of me

played two matches with her earlier this morning and a lot of that first match was spent dodging Nueve de Julio/Borodino shells on less than 500 HP while setting fires on everyone

Was pretty healthy for the first minutes of the game but I got weathered down over time

do not know how the fuck I did it but it happened

[wooden ether]

soooo any yall have resource for AL ribbons @__@

[wheat valley]

i hecking love being focused by the entire bots ooof

[bronze edge]

Aegis moment ngl

[sage harness]

ok im starting to like new orleans

i love hiding next to or behind islands and then lighting idiots on fire

i love being the giggly little bitch annoying other cruisers

an algerie tried its luck and i died from a battleship that silently appeared from nowhere but i killed them with fire

[sage harness]

but god damn the grind for baltimore is gonna be a pain in the ass

[bronze edge]

rip

[bronze edge]

this is the DM way,

[sage harness]

im starting to hate helenas

[wheat valley]

wydm helena is a decent tier 7 ship

[bronze edge]

good farmer

suseceptible to explosions

[sage harness]

its not that i hate them because theyre bad

i hate them because they keep bloody killing me

[clever terrace]

[clever terrace]

idk if that's accurate, but scary if so - though she'd have to be on 810 HP or less

[sage harness]

ex fucking cuse me?

lets give a battleship cruiser reload

thats a good idea

[clever terrace]

she also has best in class accuracy, btw

literal

best in class, period

[sage harness]

ok

anyways

man i sure hope balti is gonna be good

[wheat valley]

just dodge

[digital prairie]

That’s with the absolute maximum level of reload buff possible

Wisconsin has a “combat instruction” that gives a 50% reload buff temporarily, also has access to William F Halsey as the commander which can give another 20% reload buff for activating one of his talents, another possible 20% reload for AR, another skill which gives 10% reload while in secondary range, and 30% possible in the arms race gamemode

Also the slot 6 reload module for another 13% reload

Base reload on wisky is 30 seconds

[clever terrace]

💀

[digital prairie]

the plane teamkill

that's a classic

[clever terrace]

one of these is not like the other

[quartz mist]

how did you manage to teamkill with a bomb 💀

[clever terrace]

that was a squadmate lmfao

[quartz mist]

o h

god

[clever terrace]

he was strafing one of the guys that died to that bomb

and got caught up in the explosion

[quartz mist]

oof

the fact that its an HE 111 that killed a hurricane

is funny

also, apparently, 600 ping = 1000 ping in WOWS

aka its impossible to play carriers (im trying to grind carriers)

anything except torp bombers are impossible

F*ck this

im done

[clever terrace]

me at 54k from Midway, but without motivation to play Lexington any longer (for now)

[quartz mist]

the plane actually goes in circles at random, or dont respond or over responds to your movements, making trying to aim / lead a ship basically impossible

[digital prairie]

i've done it with rockets before

[quartz mist]

You are one of a kind

The fact that you have teamkilled with rockets, tells me you usually dump rockets on one enemy... Or just have really bad, but good aim

[clever terrace]

Hitting people with rockets or bombs isn't all that uncommon tbh

it's the kind of thing that seems rare but every WT player will do it at least one time in their lifetime

[quartz mist]

But you still somehow managed to teamkill with an HVAR

Not with the Tiny Tim

[digital prairie]

the actual clip of what i did is hilarious

[quartz mist]

Aka the bigger rocket

[digital prairie]

i only fired two HVARs too

[quartz mist]

And bro got kicked out

Mao

Lmao*

An HVAR friendly kill, and a midair collision

Lol

[digital prairie]

US piloting at it's best

[quartz mist]

Real

The fact you didnt really dive from a high altitude with the helldiver kinda stings me a bit

I have a habbit of using dive bombers, well, as dive bomber

And also climbing after spawning

[digital prairie]

i was 1km up when i started the dive

[quartz mist]

To just snipe with a bomb :P

[digital prairie]

high enough...

[quartz mist]

You still mid air crashed

And judging by how low you pulled, you were going to crash anyways

[digital prairie]

well i would have been fine if the P47 wasn't there

[quartz mist]

I think your wing woulda knicked a tree

But unless some jank hitbox of the trees says no, i think you woulda been fine

Ive once teamkilled on accident

I always drop my payload when dogfighting an enemy fighter, and one time in like 3 years ago on my old pc, i dropped 2 500lb bombs, it landed on a friendly and killed him xD

[clever terrace]

he would've been fine, yeah

I've got this mental list of maps I do and don't trust trees on, and Port Novo is a "trust the trees" map

imo if you hit a tree on Port Novo it's a skill issue

Berlin though

Trust fucking nothing

Some of the buildings have the hitbox of a fucking Borg cube

[sage harness]

were making progress, not a lot though

getting the money is gonna be a pain in the ass ._.

but ive got a good game this time

nevermind

my day got ruined by a fucking zara

[clever terrace]

never say you've been having a good time, especially if the game you're playing is from a Russian company

you'll get shit games all week lmfao

this is a joke, I know it's not obvious - but it's a joke

the reason I think this happens, where we say we have a good game then have nothing but shit ones afterwards is that we let our guard down

we get comfortable and start to slip up

the more you play and build up skill, playing the game becomes more natural
we know where and when to look, to shoot, etc

and tbh that isn't on you

[unkempt mantle]

such a beautiful game

[kind niche]

Fear the TRUE POWER OF THE US NAVY

[digital prairie]

my back hurts

[clever terrace]

@teal sand has no awareness, laugh at this man

[quartz mist]

you are cracked outta your mind

but i appreciate it

[clever terrace]

we've done it again, boys

[silver kindle]

Does this skill "increase dmg" affect firefly break dmg or no?

[silent minnow]

That's what i call a one man army

[sage harness]

scuse me wth is this

[sage harness]

i got baltimore now

[clever terrace]

ayyyyy

[sage harness]

and

i regret nothing

this thing rips ass

it would be funny if it werent so sad how many people i have set on fire

if he doesnt work

if they broadside

have a big chunk of ap

idk if its just me but it feels like its punishing me slightly less for being bolder

[digital prairie]

Baltimore's armor is incredibly frustrating to deal with, mainly because it really doesn't have much

unless they hit the (very small) citadel belt, AP shells usually just overpen

Quick question

Is Kancolle still alive

Couldn’t find it in the app store even with Japanese Address

[unkempt mantle]

Abigail ain't gonna be too happy about this...

[unkempt mantle]

[clever terrace]

[sage harness]

don quixote?

[elfin egret]

Yes

[sage harness]

ah fuck

wows keeps crashing

is it because im doing decent in balti-less

[clever terrace]

[sage harness]

oh and im stuck in an uptier

i think this is wows way of saying 'no'

[unkempt mantle]

WoWs way of saying no is putting you in a match with 4 or more DDs and/or a division of the strongest ships at whatever tier it is

[bronze edge]

[quartz mist]

rocket kill

a g a i n

[clever terrace]

:3

[quartz mist]

you are very good at using dump rockets then

to be able to hit aircrafts that often

[digital prairie]

[ionic junco]

@wet pine wheres the AK channel :(

[wet pine]

what da hell

go away

#off-topic and #amagi-general is the ak channelops

[ionic junco]

what

damn

[wet pine]

imean here too but i forget this channel exists half the time

[clever terrace]

they're always just flying in straight lines/taking headons

And I'm using Zunis, legit the best dumbfire rockets in the game

[wooden ether]

can anyone explain atlantix defence and how the reward?

[clever terrace]

though we lost

Only 270k bucks to rent that game ?¿

Losing is really harsh

[clever terrace]

yeah...

[sage harness]

BALTIMORE IS GENUINELY HILARIOUS LOL

[wheat valley]

*cherry blossom such boring op *

[sage harness]

now im mildly curious what buffalo has to offer

so far, i just see more gun

[clever terrace]

more gun, heal, access to DM

:)

[sage harness]

im doing this for des moines

i will become the annoying fucking giggly little bitch lighting everyone on fire

[clever terrace]

strong female protagonist gameplay

[sage harness]

DM has spotter?

[wheat valley]

yes

[clever terrace]

yep

[sage harness]

omg finally

i have an issue with range

[clever terrace]

you don't want more range btw

your ballistics are so bad that far out

[wheat valley]

the shells of dm are so floaty

[sage harness]

ragh

eh

[wheat valley]

its really hard to aim at 20km if you have range module/spotter unless you have good aim

[sage harness]

is DMs ap decent?

[clever terrace]

it's very good

[sage harness]

i still wanna punish idiots who broadside

[wheat valley]

improved pen angle so yeah

https://bit.ly/yurraguides btw here some captain build you can use this guide

[sage harness]

k

[clever terrace]

you can punish them even harder cause you fire so fast on top of those improved pen angles

DM/Salem are beasts lmfao

[wheat valley]

autoloaders kek

[sage harness]

so dm spits out a shit ton of damage, am i correct/

[clever terrace]

yes

5.5 second reload base

[sage harness]

what

[clever terrace]

you've got some crazy DPM to put to use

[sage harness]

5.5???

[clever terrace]

yep

5.5 for 9 guns

you can make it 4.84s with reload mod in the sixth slot, but you lose some turret traverse

[sage harness]

i dont remember heavy cruisers having

5.5 second reloads

[clever terrace]

you see that RF in the "203mm/55 RF Mk 16"?

that stands for Rapid Fire

[sage harness]

im probably never gonna use this but whats the case with annapolis

good orrrrr

[clever terrace]

Annapolis is DM with 12 guns instead of 9

And a burst fire mode

[sage harness]

sorry what, burst fire

[clever terrace]

which lets you fire off three salvos extremely quickly

at the cost of a battleship-grade reload afterwards

[sage harness]

oh ok

[clever terrace]

lowers your overall DPM for a burst of it

best used when someone's about to go dark but you really want them dead

[sage harness]

man i am running out of grey boosters

how do i get boosters?

[silent minnow]

In armory or in container if i'm not wrong

[sage harness]

aegh, hell no, i aint spending coal for allat

guess its time for containers to help me

[sharp island]

I had to revisit to play Warhammer 40k Freeblade

[unkempt mantle]

Finally finished the RDR2 story

[clever terrace]

you think I got em?

[clever terrace]

is it just me or is everything a shotgun compared to US BBs

have I been spoiled

[bronze edge]

uhh sorta???

french bias

[digital prairie]

you are playing an Italian BB

accuracy is not something those have...
