****** Official World of Warships Thread ******

Unlocking features with levels is just the closed beta way of making sure each level gets enough playtime instead of everyone farming straight to the top and sitting there. Wot didn't have half the features it has now.

Plus your stats will be wiped with coming updates and the games release anyways!

Hope my email cones through, I signed up ages ago with the website launch but didn't get notice on this opening :(
 
It's kinda annoying for me. I've been in since the weekend alpha but unable to play because of epic in game graphics glitching. I have reported it and been completely ignored so it looks like I will be giving WoWs a miss.

I'll get some in the morning, I still have it installed but graphics settings make 0 diference. It's like the gui, crosshair, etc just smear across the screen as I move around without refreshing at all, so if you move the screen around the crosshair starts to be smeared everywhere. Think if you turn mouse afterimage on in windows, except the afterimage never goes away.
 
got in on the alpha but registered it to my NA account instead of my newer, more used EU one without thinking :(

Gameplay seemed a bit shallow (pun unintended) but overall quite fun, perhaps for me WoWs will be one for a quick blast every now and then. Made it to teir/rank 7 down the BS line and it I could really appreciate the power of firing 12 16" guns (ie, freaking awesome!). They really nailed the sounds/effects in that area.

I'd like to see a more complex repair system - Battlestations Midway/Pacific had a great idea of you have X amount of crew of which you can assign Y to plugging leaks, Z to fixing turrets etc. and it will affect the repair times. Something like that would be brilliant imo.

Only thing that really bugged me was the planes from the carriers seemed to be placeholders - an entire squadron was only represented by one plane which a) is harder to spot/judge distance from which is a pain in the arse when planning your every move in advance is key and b) seeing a wall of torpedos appear out of nowhere really broke the immersion. Not tried this in the beta yet so it might be better now...

started to get bored of carrier at tier 6 last night.

It's basically wot ARTY.

you send a torpedo bomber out and it does a terribly bad job at aiming the torpedoes the spread is so crap even a battleship can avoid them easy.

you can manually aim with alt but you get the same crap torpedo spread anyway and it's not really any better.

you then wait like 30+ seconds for the planes to fly back, the n another 30 for them to reload.

you don't even do much dmg anyway like 5k per torpedo although it seems theres some uber lucky crit thing that can happen and you might do like 20-30k dmg total from 2 torps.

the different tier carriers obviously come with better planes these planes will lol own any fighters/bombers from carriers lower level than them and you can end up with a tier6 carrier on one team and a tier 7 on the other.....

basically the guy kills all your planes with fighters and you can't do anything about it and are left as a floating nothing waiting for the game to end.


ofcourse they use the same match making as world of tanks so meh

naa you get like 5-6planes maybe your graphics aren't high or you mean the squadron icon is one icon for that squadron and not one icon per plane
I'll jump in game and grab a screenshot
1x fighters
2x torpedo bombers
1x bomber

Dat torpedo spread.. yea I came in from a bad angle on that one but still ridiculous how they end up with almost a full bs gap between each torp
Even from the side you'll only hit with 2-3 torpedoes on a carrier sized object 1-2 hits on a bs.

unless your in first person view fighting another ship you should be avoiding torps easy
if the nda is against it then **** them :P all the usual youtubers have vids up anyway
only thing not maxed is AA I think it was on low

try deleting C:\Games\World_of_Warships\preferences.xml

Your not forcing AA from your graphics driver control panel? maybe that could be the cause

Ahh Jester!!

Sorry I wasn't being rude I didn't realise who it was.

I've been in since CAT of this and I'm really liking having full servers of people to play.

Also got my Alpha test ship, very cool little t4 destroyer :)

T7 Pensacola is a pain though
 
Ok so ive sunk about 65 games into this and im currently on the Kongo T5 and Langley T4. My 1 biggest gripe about the game currently:

Manually aimed Torp bombers are seriously OP at low tiers!

The first 2 Battleships dont recieve any AA at all, combined with their low'ish HP means you get absolutely wrecked by torps that are being manually dropped 800m from the side of your ship! I have no issue with Torp power, or CV players its just the fact they can be manually dropped so close to you that seems OP to me!

Other than that, I really like the game it just needs filling out with more content IMO. (Fed up of the same 2 or 3 maps for example).
 
most people learned to avoid torps I don't know if BS get faster but at tier 7 it's not easy to hit most people and if your smart you would hang with a cruiser.

people don't seem to know how to play the game with team work, most people don't even go towards the enemy ships.
your own carriers fighters should be protecting your fleet

also if you launch torps manually to close they just go straight under the boat
 
Planes drop Torps in a wide spread if one of the ships firing AA at them has the AA defence skill. The bombers in effect panic, drop the torps and run. If you can find an isolated hip without the skill the torps will run straight close together.
