Researched the New York yesterday... planned on using free XP to get the second hull, but dunno.

And they still had some planes left in the end...

The Phoenix: Not actually a Cleveland, but like one.





(naturally I've made a complete hash of my Omaha games so far)

[Scourge of Ages]

It's ridiculous what kind of advantage you get from just a little bit of leadership and coordination. My team just won "Hotspot" (the map with 5 cap points, and both teams start split up) by 8 kills to 2.

[SpardaSon21]

If there's anything I've learned from online gaming, its that teamwork wins every time.

[crizza]

Yeah, especially if three of the enemy team are AFK and instead of focusing on those who actually play, half of my team took the easy targets -.-

[Rodo]

This thing needs a nerf.





And my last game on the Omaha, I feel bad selling it to get the Cleveland.. but it was the plan all along.

[Spoon]

8 kills 

[crizza]

Oh my... while I managed to land over 100 hits I nver sunk more then three ships in one game -.-

[Rodo]

Yeah well, most of my kills where either destroyers or hopelessly noobish chikuma drivers.
Bless them for sailing in straight line

The real fight was right at the end when I was almost half health and a full health st. louis came at me, I guess he was also a new player cause I chewed him up receiving minor damage, and then the game was won by cap.

It's a shame I don't have the replay saving active, cannot be arsed to fiddle with the game files... and I never thought I'd get a game to show around honestly.

I think I'm in love with my Kuma

Changed Thread name to Open Beta - because we're in open beta 
Also I decided to keep my Kongo when I got the Fuso - I like it to much

[NGTM-1R]

Technically we're not even open beta, we're just soft-launched.

[Axem]

Oh whats this post battle shot about? Battleship with 3 kills, that's nothing special...






Victory saved.

[Rodo]

Damn! that's a close one indeed.

BTW, I'm having troubles with the Cleveland... I feel like the shell velocity is quite low.. could it be because I don't have the upgraded turrets?
Anyways, I hope it gets better when upgraded.

[StarSlayer]

They introduced some nerfs to the Cleveland in order keep it somewhat manageable at its tier.  One of those is the shell velocity/arc pretty much simulates if the guns shot whiffle balls.  At range expect accuracy to be dubious due to the hang time and focus on slow targets if possible.  She will still rip things up at mid ranges and below, just don't overextend.

Cleveland has been significantly nerfed due to her placement at Tier 6 where she does not belong. The ship would have historically made a good Tier 8.

St Louis OP plz nerf

[Admiral MS]

I had one of those close calls myself some days ago. Played in my Fubuki and there was still a hostile BB and a DD alive, both close to me and too far away from the rest of my team. So I sent all of my torpedoes in the bath of the BB (with one launcher permanently disabled that's not as good as it sounds) and tried to get the last 3k HP of the DD (running away) with my single front turret. Got a double strike at 19 min 55 sec 

Murmansk can make the world burn just as good as St. Louis or Cleveland!



Also high tier DDs are rarely fun. The first result much more common than the second (which also features a nice looking Tirpitz that was in my team).

[Rodo]

I hate those bloddy Murmansks.
And yes, DD gameplay has steadily become difficult as playerbase starts to get an idea of how to play correctly.
I used to pwn ass on the Wakatake back in the day, now I rarely get a torp hit... never mind my luck on the Minekaze.

There's a contest going on that involves playing t5-7 BB's. I guess it's Kongo fun time!
