World of Warships

Only time ill break off in the small group is if there are at least 4. Because enemy splits fire and we do damage (because of me)

 

It also matters how you split up. If you head 20km away from nearest friends, you're no longer splitting fire. You're two piecemeals then. But I agree - for instance against BB it is essential to try to move to different sides. With DD I can threaten them so they need to focus on me and I've got good evasive capability with DD meaning they will not hit almost anything - so they're not hitting me bad and they're not hitting my friends either. Thus a DD can nullify a BB (ideally).

 

Yep. Also im having way more fun with american destroyers than japanese.

 

I didn't bother to try Japanese as soon as I heard they were inadequately Dakka.

 

I think 3 of my kills in my US dd are finishing off with the guns after torp and some have just been straight up gun kills.

We're pleased to announce the Russian destroyer branch will be joining the World of Warships armada starting October 19, alongside the previously announced German cruisers. The Russians' hard-hitting cannons and great accuracy render even the fastest and most evasive targets sinkable. Strong anti-aircraft armament and rapid turret rotation make these new vessels excellent candidates for precision attack runs.

“We’re looking forward to letting players command this line of Soviet destroyers,” says Daniil Volkov, World of Warships Development Director. "These additions will open up some distinct vessels for commanders to discover and leverage in combat.”

As we approach release of this highly desirable line of ships, we'll share more information. For now, take a look through your spyglass at the video above and the gallery below!

i guess they announced the german cruisers back in early august.

sounds like russian dd's will be good gunships but shitty or mediocre torpedo. anyone else reading it that way?

if you notice that ship at 7 seconds has a double stacked torp launcher.

german cruiser line pic


looks like the german pocket battleships/super cruisers (deutschland class) will be in the BB line. makes sense otherwise they would be way more powerful then any other nations cruisers. though if that hindenburg at tier 10 is actually the derfflinger class then they don't need the deutschland class. damn things have 305 mm (12 inch) guns. but those are ww 1 era ships.


don't see one for the russian dd's. i know the kiev is tier 7.

 

Historically Russian guns weren't that accurate.

They attacked Russarö fortress with cruiser Kirov and two destroyers, the fortress had 4x 234mm (9.2") guns and damaged Kirov and forced Soviet forces to withdraw.

Every other engagement was along the same lines, Soviets were usually hit hard without scoring any hits themselves and always forced to retreat. including battleship Marat which was also damaged while attacking coastal fortification and forced to withdraw.

But of course this is a game and they want a less trop and more artillery focused force in the game - and they're a Belarussian firm so they kinda heart the Soviet line while German line is relatively weak and more maneuverable if I got it right.

 

I love the look of that art deco Kiev destroyer, sooo sexy.

 

you know those russian dds are going to be OP for the first few months.

 

You bet!

 

Ugh I was juggling the ship slots with just 2 nations, now I can't start another one without buying something.

 

Im guessing everyone will get a slot for a new nation because of therting ship for that nation. But that is speculation because i havent actually seen anything

 

Basing on experience with WoT, You are right, whenever new nation tree was introduced players were granted t1 tank with slot for it for free.

 

So if they end up with 16 nations and with things like the two ship classes for Finland and something like 3? for Sweden and Norway (or so?) etc. we can have 30+ free ship slots - eventually.

So by that logic it doesn't make sense to buy ship slots. Better to just wait it out in case they actually go that route!

I'm a GENISUS!

 

so 2 with germany and russia and at least 1 more for the UK. who knows who else they will add.

 

I hate how unupgraded bogues cant do shit against 2 fighter bogues.

 

You mean, 1 CVE with 24 planes can't do shit against 2 CVE's with 48 fighters?

Thing is, you'd need a real ace squadron to beat the odds and preferably all fighters, but it is doable. In fact it was done a million times through dogfighting history, as long as the planes aren't horribly inferior.

In real life the fighters could be equipped with bombs and if the pilots were roughly equal the superior numbers would dominate with ease.

 

No. Even if both carriers have 30 aircraft one can put 2 fighter squads up and the other cant either because hasnt unlocked the 2 fighter squads option yet or didnt mount it. Because most keep the squads together.

1 carrier against 1 carrier. Flight options are (starting one) 1 fighter squad 1 torp. 2 fighters 1 dive bomber and third option is 2 torp and 1 dive bomber (no fighters or maybe its 2 dive 1 torp?). Those are your options for aircraft in the air.
