The Furutaka (Tier 5 IJN Cruiser) is the most painful ship I have played so far. Apart from maybe the Kawachi.

Be prepared to play her like a small Battleship. The 203mm guns are great citadelling fellow cruisers. But long reload and slow turret traverse make her so frustrating.

Agreed, dont like this, the turret speed is 45 sec iirc, you have BB's with faster speeds than that :mad: but the guns do get quite a few citadel hits.

@varkanoid, the Phoenix is a good ship once elited, it does have low alpha damage, but in a zig zag chase the speed of the turrets is a big advantage over slower IJN CA's. And it is a DD's worst nightmare

Currently in port

Arkansas Beta, dont like BB's so cant comment.

St Louis, slow but those guns are so troll at tier 3 :D

Phoenix, as above, one of my favourites.

Cleveland, not as good as it was in the CBT, but still a very good ship, imo keep the stock turret and dont upgrade it.

Murmansk, sold the Omaha to keep this, but with the longer range and better torps + the credits it makes, it was a no brainer.

Furataka, the guns are actually quite good, but that turrret turn speed :mad:

Atago, this is a very good ship imo, can take on Mogami's and New Orleans's with an equal footing and also a very good credit earner.

Hope to bump into some of you in game, in game name is jcol


ps. for any new players, here are some good videos to watch to better understand the game

Quite surprised these have not been snapped up still well over 2000 left and they are not even the current Giveaway.

Just got myself the Alienware T Shirt code for Dying Light too.... :)

Grabbed another two keys via my different emails.

had a couple of fantastic games, last one ended with my BB ammo loading being destroyed and i was on fire, so i rammed the remaining battle ship we both exploded but we won.



 
Had a spot of rubbish MM last night, when pottering about in my first Battleship, the tier 3 Japanese one.

Didn't really like meeting and trying to fight tier 5 cruisers and battleships - felt somewhat outgunned!

Normally the mm seems to keep you to within 1 tier up - down doesn't it?

This is my beef with the MM. It plays nice in the afternoon keeping it roughly as you describe, but in the evenings it gets a little erratic and ships 2 or 3 tiers above you appear in the lists ime.

I noticed that too. I get way better games often in the afternoon rather than evenings. As it goes later past 10pm the quality of teams gets worse.
 
I've got some major stutter since going to Windows 10. Anyone else got this problem?

~1/2 second pauses every now and again.

It even makes the game lose the auto ! Not sure what might be causing it
 
played this at the weekend again, but think i'm done with it. good game but the people just playing it are doing my head in. :(
killed a cruiser 2 tiers above me (i'm tier V).
only to get abused in chat / saying my ships OP. Not my fault he made it easy for me to hit him (8 citadel hits just on him) :confused:

I had that the other day and gave up playing after 1 round, played a few games yesterday with nothing changed on my pc and it'd gone :confused:
 
When I had this in chat there were comments about it being the particular server and not necessarily the network connection or Windows 10. Everyone in the game had lag so I cant see it being the OS or the local network connection.
 
I love my T5 IJN DD, Minekaze. Its a keeper :D

That's online multiplayer gaming for you.

You'll always get complete morons who don't know anything and then show how they've failed their way through the tiers by their toxic responses in chat.

Just ignore them and carry on as normal.

Then it would be the client since I had a similar issue where the game suddenly freezes and only does a frame every few seconds and then starts working after about 30 seconds, and this only started after the most recent patch so it's more WG that have messed up (whoever thought it was a particular server is talking out of their backside since there is only one server on the EU cluster) and they need to issue another patch to fix it.

The most recent patch was yesterday and the bad lag was before that. When I meant particular server I meant EU server over US server players who didnt have issues just EU players who had the problem.
 
Finally unlocked the New York last night, damn that's a satisfying boom when you fire the guns off.

Getting exp seems to be getting stupidly long now though even if I have an awesome round.
