I'm not feeling the love, it's more broken than WoT with the aircraft carriers. Destroyers are fun as you can still dodge attacks in the main, but I'm not having any fun at all with the low tier cruisers. I just don't feel the appeal to ground more to see if it gets better at higher tiers. I guess there is a reason why the usual WoT steamers all stopped playing it...

I've noticed this too, a lot of them went straight in to streaming it and now most of them have gone back to WoT. It does look a bit slow and most of the streamers are good players so usually enjoy faster play.

I find it fun at the lower tiers, once aircraft carriers get in though I don't find it fun at all. If two carriers focus you there is nothing you can do. Ho hum.

with the lexington the torps get much slower like the ones from destroyers or whatever fires them.
the planes I think also got slower, they certainly feel it.
EDIT they do

I would gain plane speed going to the older ones

if a BS is turning into the planes and keep circling then it is almost impossible to hit them because the planes can't manoeuvre quick enough to get a good angle of attack, half your planes die trying, also if you are faffing around with manual aim once the bombers are close to the target sometimes the manual aim reticle changes from the long corridor where the torps all stay really close in a line to a stupid massive 180 degree area like the auto aim is it nearly always happens when I'm having to constantly try and get a good angle on the target

trust me people who are lazy at high tiers get sunk, people who use their brains are so hard to hit and your lucky for 1-2 torps to hit them

anything smaller than a BS I don't even try to torp anymore it's impossible with how slow the torps get

Before he lexington upgraded torpedo bombers though it is incredibly easy to manually aim an unload a full salvo into the side of a BS and probably kill it


BTW usually when someone is manually aiming they do it so close to your ship so the torps hit after about 3 seconds of being in the water.
now the torpedoes aren't armed straight away so you can actually turn into the direction of the torpedo bombers like I said, carry on turning into the torps he launched and they are more than likely not armed when they hit you so do nothing.
Try it out but it probably doesn't work at lower tiers than the lexington


if your in a bs and stay near a cruiser he will shoot down 1-2 of the planes before they can attack also since they have OP AA guns.

BTW as a BS the worst thing you can do is go into a narrow area or try to hug the land thinking the terrain makes it harder for people to hit you with torps.

there's nothing as easy to sink as a BS that can only turn in one direction or is forced to go in an almost straight line so stick to the open!

BTW playing as a carrier in most games you only get 2-3 attacks with torpedo bombers before the game is over since your attacking only every few minutes.
flight time to and from the target and the 30 seconds they take to reload on the carrier, then the 10 seconds they spend on take off circling your carrier gaining altitude or whatever. (essentially it's like playing high tier arty in wot with the long reload times)

also never kill a full squad of planes, the guy can launch more quicker than if he had to wait for a single plane from that squad to return and he's probably got about 24 spare planes on his carrier

Ingame username Hodders as here.

Anyone else getting miffed by the number of games you lose to a team that just caps with 6 ships ?
 
Hmmm, WoW is losing it's gloss fast.

It seems that you are even more dependant on your team than in WoT.

Typical game, In a battle ship.

Try to hang back at about 12km range for first few minutes.

Cruisers all dissapear off to one flank to hide behind mountains. Meanwhile you get spotted and 3 squads of torp planes come in at you. You try to turn towards them but they can manouvre so much faster than you and you eat 2 torps. Repair.

Fire off 2 salvos at the enemy and watch as all you shells somehow all miss. By now the 4 enemy destropyers are through and you eat more torps.

Finally you get a salvo off and watch as all 6 shells neatly straddle the enemy doing zero damage. As you wait 30 seconds to reload the torp planes are back.

It seems to me that torps are just vastly OP at the moment. Unless your team try to provide some kind of AA support.

My hit rates in cruisers is pretty good so my aiming is OK it is just the BS accuracy is so bad you end up missing all the time.

Cruisers are the most fun to play, but the USN ships have to get SOO close for torp launch that youspend the whole game looking for an opening. Japanese torps have a much better range, you can fire into contested areas from safety.

Destroyers are just light tanks with a great big derp gun. Very easy to get it wrong and die. Great when you weave past the enemy and put 8 torps into a carrier.

So my summary, it's a very pretty game, even more team dependant then WoT and even more one dimensional as there is no real cover you can pop out from and back into again.

Not that impressed.
 
Just bought all three packs personally.

I'm enjoying it still - its nice that some of small changes have been made from cloased alpha to beta - can't wait for the big usn battleships though
 
The ships look nice and I am really liking how WoWS plays.

I doubt I will bother with premium ships though due to free xp working across all of War Gaming's titles and I have a load of premium / Elite tanks on WoT so I will just use them :D

They have already confirmed premium/gold will not be unified to begin with on WoWs. It will probably work eventually like it did with WoWp but out of the gates, no its seperate.

If thats the case then I can wait and just buy premium time, I have like 2 million free xp sitting on my WoT account :D
 
Hi Guys,

Been waiting to get into beta for ages, does a pre-order get you in?

If not whens the release date set for?

At work so cant dig around on the site much.

Thanks
 
No it doesn't get you in and there's no release date set so far. Only way to get into the CBT would be winning a key off a streamer / youtuber or if WG want another batch of people to start playing.

You know, I can agree with a lot of your negative points.

I appreciate I'm not the best at this game (much better at driving tanks than I am at sailing ships, obviously), but my win rate is terrible, despite me often managing to do a reasonably good amount of damage, and attempting not to separate from my team etc.

I do get annoyed at Torpedoes though. My tier 5 destroyer was obliterated by just one Torpedo dropped by a plane from a tier 5 aircraft carrier (dodged the other 4) and although this may have just been an ammo rack, it still caused me to shrug and quit the game. I also only got any warning from the beeping sounds when it was too late to dodge all of them, so meh.

I fully accept others may disagree, and I do like the game and will probably play it a reasonable amount, but I don't see myself getting as into it as in World of Tanks. Yes, I bought all 3 Pre-order ships. The Tier 5 Destroyer being the one I just mentioned being one-shot in with just one Torpedo.
 
My biggest gripe is the random-ness of damage. In WoT when you land a hit you know roughly what sort of numbers to accept min-max average so you can plan your targets (ie finish off the one low health whos a 1 shot for example). Not in WoWs, not only do you not know how many of your shots from your salvo will connect despite being on target (falling short, wide during travel) but you also dont know their damage. There seems to be no clear method to the madness that is the damage dealt.

Ive had 1 hit deal thousands and 5 hits deal barely hundreds. This is before we even get onto crits!
 
I'm quite enjoying the game, I must say. Although, I'm finding that Dive Bombers are the most useless planes to attempt to use.
 
Anyone played this weekend.. i logged in today and found World of Space craft ships

Must admit, it was fun, but harder to hit stuff. Tier 30 stuff, hehe.:D

Images over 1,280 pixels wide should be placed in spoiler tags as I've done for you.

Played a few rounds of it, was certainly 'interesting'. I imagine we'll be seeing it again for events in future.
 
Looks like those of you not in the beta already may be able to buy your way into it with one of the pre-order bundles if you're that keen to play. Should be an announcement from Wargaming EU today from what people have been saying.

I'd say it is a good game, has a lot of potential but maybe not for everyone, plenty to look at on youtube/twitch to make your mind up.
