>>715153624 (OP)
ships in nortubel when

>>715153624 (OP)
i'm outright insulted by this. we were promised more historical ships, instead we got repainted old models sold for 70 bucks each. WG really has no shame.

>>715157728
that depends, which type of ship are you playing?

>>715158078
was playing cruisers until I read that battleships are better for noobs so I've been running the German line of those. Mainly try to hang back and snipe but somehow I always end up in a cap getting torpedoed or focus fired by the entire enemy fleet.
I still don't know when to use HE vs AP, how to hit moving destroyers from a distance, how to dodge/predict torpedoes, and just generally what the game plan should be.
Still having fun figuring things out but I feel like a retard at T5 and anything under is just bots.

Stay farther away, battleships aren't meant to cap flags at the start of the game, that's what destroyers are for

German battleships are more of close range brawlers. If you want to hang back and snipe, try Japanese battleships.

#1: Don't go faster than 1/2 until the rest of the fleet has a commanding lead in front of you. They are your screens against DDs and Subs
#2: Never ever show your broadside to anything. Always angle your hull (to the best of your ability) so that any incoming fire will have at least a 35 degree wall to bounce harmlessly off of. Your biggest concern is other Battleships sniping you, just as you are a threat to other Battleships.
#3: It is a general rule of thumb (but almost never a bad idea to ignore) to not "punch up" or "punch down" on ships bigger or smaller than you. Cruisers firing on Battleships will likely do nothing to them (unless they have HE shells which will light them on fire). Battleships firing on Cruisers will do minimal damage if firing AP shells since they will just over penetrate.
#4: Destroyers and Subs will almost always get the drop on you unless you position your ship around friendly ships appropriately. Even with proper positioning though, you still will most likely take more than a few torpedo hits

All of these are GENERAL rules of thumb. They are not baked-in rules that "ought not ever be broken", but are good things to keep in mind.

To get a bit more gnitty gritty in detail though. Every hull has a "Citadel" where all the main pieces of the ship are: Engines, Magazines, Crew, etc... The idea of the citadel in this game is to be very difficult to penetrate EFFECTIVELY as you want your shells to detonate inside the Citadel and not just punch straight through it. Too much penetration will cause the shell to just pierce through it and do basically nothing beyond superficial damage, too little penetration and your shell will just bounce off it to the same effect. This is why Battleships shouldn't use AP shells against Cruisers (because their shells will pierce through), and why Cruisers shouldn't use AP against Battleships (their AP shells will just bounce).

Everything is garbage at T5, newbies shouldn't rush caps regardless

>>715153624 (OP)
I play war thunder thobeit

>>715160531
>Everything is garbage at T5
You take that back.

i wish wg could improve low level matches, or at least incentivize it a bit. it's depressing to stop playing high tier for a bit and then play a tier 4 match with just two human player and the rest are bots.

how is this game nowadays? is the playerbase still healthy

thanks bros, I will keep all that in mind as I grind the Jap tree now

>>715162378
not good. since leita god nommed by the russian government they struggle to make new 3d models and resort in selling the same ships over and over and over.

SILLY as all fuck, but theh ead is silly fun.

What's with all the Blue archive shilling all of a sudden here?

What's with all the failed Persona cuck shilling lately?

>>715153624 (OP)
I miss the old CV gameplay where you had to micro your planes. God was that ever fun. I stopped playing once they changed it to arcade controls.
Did they ever change it back or improve it or no?

>>715163625
no, it's even more braindead now

>>715163665
Back to sleep I go.
