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

Hmmm, how are people finding the armour impact changes - are BBs finally less susceptible to cruisers like the cleveland ?

Hey thanks, can't find you on steam under that name.

Mine is SegaMegaDave.

Also if he ends up wanting it back I don't mind, would just be nice give it a try before deciding whether buy a pack.

No problem at all. I havent used it in a while so please do pass it on. Thank you for the generosity. Enjoy the game SMD :-)
 
I like the armour changes, I don't seem to receive citadel hits all the time now. Also the lack of aim-bot (currently) is a big plus for survivability, no more instant volleys at 20km when spotted. The new US battleships seem underwhelming, I thought the Warspite suffered from poor range but they seem to be winning that award now!

I haven't really noticed the new signal feature making much of an impact other than achievement spam in chat.
 
Hmmm, WoWs is now starting to remind me increasingly of WoT.

Light tanks (destroyers) rush off to die
Med (Cruisers) mill around and act as lone wolves
HTs (battle ships) hide at the back and snipe
Arty (aircraft carriers) hide behind the battle ships

If you all go off as a fleet, you can wreck the enemy, but so often you just get capped and find all yoru team are off chasing the aircraft carrier.
 
I have spent quite a few hours playing for the £14 I paid. In my eyes it is well worth it! But WoT never interested me so I never played it.
 
It's a tricky one. I've played a fair whack, but would go with the idea it wouldn't be worth £14 for me just yet, better things to spend the money on.

On the other hand, I've played it through alpha as well, so I might just be getting a bit bored of it.
 
Quite enjoying this thus far, although I do royally suck!

Quick query for anyone running SLi, the new WHQL driver 352.86 has an SLi profile for WoWs, however when I'm in the port for a while viewing the ships I get artifacting with lines. Anyone else getting this with the same driver + SLi or is one of my cards a bit iffy?

Usually happens when I switch ships in the port, can't really screenshot it as it either shows fine or solid blocks of colour as the sections seem to flicker quite fast.

Honestly for me it would be worth the money as I've played nearly 350 games and not gotten bored yet, but then I got in with the first invite so didn't need to pay. Its still got bugs and things are changing each patch but I like it, just wish some of the teams I end up on were more competent.

If you watch videos and streams and think it is worth £14 then go for it. If that amount of money is something you'd rather not potentially waste then wait, open beta will likely start in the next month or two at which point they're saying what is currently planned to be the final progress wipe will happen so probably a good point to start.

Theres something not right with the new patch. Since they reworked armour in 3.1 now everything knows it cant hit a BB with AP (unless also in a BB) so you just get HE spammed by EVERYTHING now. I'm getting set on fire multiple times per match, before it would be once every so often.

I'm not sure AP being reworked was intended to push everyone to just use HE instead. Something needs to be done.
 
Yes, I call it World Of Fires these days. So annoying. 5 with the Fuso and 4 with the Kongo in just the last 2 games.

They need to reduce the reload time of the fire extinguishers at the very least.
 
Yes, they needed to rebalance the shells as it used to be just fire AP practically all the time, unless you wanted to set a BB or Carrier on fire. Now its gone too far the other way so they'll need to tone down HE and the fires. But this is why we have beta I guess, just be sure to post in the feedback threads on the forum along with everyone else.
 
I think the USN cruisers demonstrate this more than anything else.

In my cleveland if I ever get in a position where I get free shots onto a ship concentrating on another player teh HE spam is scary.

Knock guns out, set fire, all with amazing DPS. AP just doesn't seem worth it.
 
bought into it, really enjoying it.

As a noob though it does encourage HE spam, I tried ap for a few shots and due to it doing no damage went straigh back to he.
