stop playing wows subhuman

i miss RTS CVs

How's this game in 2025 for a new player?

>>1831629
It was never that easy. Most amount of starting bonus shit, billion of good TT lines. Only issues are looking for any help on here (most are shit or don´t play) and if you play solo you won´t learn shit. Stay away from any streamers and toobers cause all they do is farm and explain nothing. If you are on EU get in touch with either 2DQT or HOTEL (first one for div and the later for solo). If you are NA then GG, your server is dying and you either start on EU or just delete the game again.

Should I?

>>1835819
i mean its a fun bb and as strong as the pasta one desu (you have to go full 2nd tho)

>>1832556
>>1836251
Any tier 6 ships you (or anyone) would recommend?

>>1836260
No. You are better off using your bday coupon, get a good dockyard ship or wait for black friday/xmas promos.

this is pretty fucking nice

>>1838818
Ye but you know the wows haters on here will even talk this badly. I take it, thanks for the free steel ship WG, thats the minimum you can do after the last 2 years gacha and fomo hell.

>>1838830
>free steel ship
Any recommendation?

>>1838865
Yes but what is the point of posting that here when I have to expect shitter replies that do not even play the game in years? Go on the official, ask the same question and filter out anyone whos below 56% WR and played recently.

What's the catch with the 32k dubs?
I dont trust WG to keep it as simple as Play 1 coop match daily to get all the rewards.

>>1838904
The catch is that the game is fucking dying and they're desperate.

>>1838908
>he took the flamuu pill
That is what I was told when I started playing the game, seems like shitters like you stopped cause they could not improve playing the game always have to find excuses Zzz...reminder the game will only die the day BBs are useless, so never :)

Noice.

>free San Diego
>free GQ Johnny
>free 22k dubloons (or steel) that you can use in Laffey dockyard
Is Wargaming going insane? What's the catch?

Seems like this anniversary is the best place to start for a new player, no?

>>1841017
Yes pretty much, but issue is you are still locked out of snowflakes and dockyard missions cause well you need a good amount of diffrent ship classes and if possible as many +t8 ships as possible to have anything from it. So either start out now or don´t complain later when you are cockblocked out of certain missions.

>trade-in
>can trade my basically worthless dogshit Odin for a Dalian, Carnot, Marco Polo or Karl Johan
Are any of these actually good?

>>1841405
Karl and Dalian are doubloons only ships so pick what you like.

>>1841428
Yeah but are they actually GOOD lmao
I miss back when WG didn't shit all over the people making them money and I could just look at a LWM review for a good overview of a premium ship
Sometimes she said some absolutely retarded shit but usually they were a good source of information to draw an opinion from

>>1841450
>LWM
Sorry but all the reviews had been complete shill shit. You either discussed new ship releases with someone you play with that beta tested them for you or you watched how the biggest random apes perform in them.

World of Warplanes

>>1841886
Old screenshot when HIlde released (nobody plays it anymore) and the fact that there isn´t Utrecht/Prince also is a redflag. Also why are you such a faggot to censor names of random battles?

>>1841886
It's a shame WoWP was actually kind of fun during the alpha and then they completely changed the core gameplay to ensure it wouldn't be fun

So with the changes that will change overall CV and sub dmg, all the apes that claimed they would come back whenever this happends aren´t saying shit now huh? Looks like it was just an excuse been bad at the game and not farming t5 to keep their stats up :)

>waiting that someone who has not even read the dev blog say it won´t matter
>waiting that someone shows up on here who has not played in years and thinks that subs are still the most op class somehow
>waiting that someone will show up and claim the game is dying

kek

so they scrapped the whole retarded 2-mode cv rework?

>>1844216
>can´t read, called it
What is so hard about "slow introduction of cv mechanics"? We will get it to a later date, first is overall dmg, repair time, spotting and CV 2nd guns.

Tiger '59 but good?

>>1844122
I'm not reading it, is it actually good?
Did Fartuu make a video on it?

>try asia server a bit to see if it's as bad as people say
>got into a double subs double cvs game in my second game
Yes, it's really that bad.

>>1845848
Never let them forget that in the first week after the game came out of beta, the asia server had more friendly fire damage than damage against enemies

>BA event is pure gambling with real money
What did I expect?

>>1848715
>wah wah wah i want everything for free
Why do you complain when we had gambling for years now. Don´t buy it´s that simple. Bet you want all the ships for free in your poor-fag mind. The free steel ship we get this year doesn´t matter anymore, same as the fact that you can instead taking steel take the 110 dollars worth of doubs.

>>1848741
Did I said I want "everything" for free?
>Bet you want all the ships for free in your poor-fag mind.
You sure projecting a lot.
Anyway, if you are that guy who said he hate these WoWS threads so much you can just stop browsing them and go circle jerk on your clan discord with your friends, you know?

>>1848745
Nah you giving poor-fag vibes off.
>it´s bad to have friends to play with
Holy shit what a loser you must be to think that´s some sort of insult, touch some grass neet boy.

>>1848745
>he plays the game alone
Oh nonononono

Still projecting I see. Last reply to you and your friend.

>>1848769
>They got friends! They ganging up on me on my beloved thread!
I feel sorry for you.

>BA ships are NEW ships
This is going too fucking far, I don't want to have to buy ANIME SHIT just to get the newest PAY TO WIN ships

>open match
>enemy has a 3DD div
>I am playing anything other than a DD
>instant loss before the match is even done loading because of DD diff
mental

>>1850110
Who asked? Get fucked solo cuck, enjoy losing :)

:D

>>1850665
I got this with the Scarlet Thunder
I never really play it but it still felt pretty good to first bundle a T9 premium

Is Soyuz hands down the worst ship in the entire game? After trying to grind through it in both randoms and operations, I am convinced that playing this ship is grounds for a ban
You should legitimately be able to report people who play this ship for intentionally griefing you and they should get banned for it
The ship has fucking atrocious armor, burns like it's coated in kerosene, has a citadel the size of the moon as if the survivability already isn't bad, it has one of the worst turning radii in the entire game and is slow as fuck on top of that, and then you finally get to the guns which simply don't work. Even at 10km, the dispersion is INSANELY bad. I cannot think of a single battleship in the game with worse dispersion than Soyuz. Even at 8-10km the guns are literally unusable, you're lucky to land 5 shells in a 9 shell salvo
The average salvo is 2 overpens, 1 pen, and maybe one ricochet to really rub it in. And that's at 8km of range. And then your AP does nothing. It has anemic fucking damage on 9 shotgun barrels and on top of all that it has a horrendous 33s base reload.
This ship is a floating EXP pinata meant to be farmed by the enemy team and is completely fucking defenseless. You can give this PoS flat broadside at 10km and it won't punish you.

>>1854336
I am ~85% done getting all the t10 tech tree ships. For the sake of my sanity, I stopped caring about ships being "good" or "bad", I just play whatever and I perform better than shitters anyway.

>>1828660
I already stopped twice. Now what?

>>1838921
>the game will only die the day BBs are useless
BBs will always be useful as DD fodder, though.

>>1854382
>I just play whatever
Problem is the Soyuz literally isn't playable
Imagine every time you fire your guns, it's shotgun dispersion and you land 3 shells
On a battleship with a 33s reload
If you don't see the issue here, there's not much I can say

>>1854423
>every time
>you land 3 shots
Guaranteed 3 shots landing is pretty good if you have shit dispersion luck, like me.

>>1854439
At 8km with a 9 gun BB for like 6000 damage? Every 33 seconds?

>>1854508
Yes.
This one is not actually dispersion related, but the first time I got into a Yamato I ended up against some cruiser on the western part of Mountain Range. I fired all guns at point blank range, guess how much damage? Zero, 1 missed and 8 bounced. Overmatch my fucking ass.

>>1855670
cont.
But either way, 6k damage per shot is about how much I used to get in every US BB at any tier.

I only play DDs cause they're tiny and cute and I can nyoom in and torp someone and vanish. :3

>>1855730
I hated playing N. Cal and Iowa, and sort of think Montana is okay, but my expected damage per volley on a well-aimed Iowa salvo against a good target is 10-12k vs the 6k you get from a similar salvo in the Soyuz
Part of me wants to grind the USN Standard line with the Vermont but I got N. Cal via the Ovechkin event many years ago so I never grinded out the USN BB line and I kinda don't want to go through it now.
Should've played the game during the early access and got the first ship in the line I guess.

San Diego is FUN
Also:
>Update 14.7 is paying tribute to the 80 years since the end of World War II. Prepare to step into history with immersive Operations and exclusive rewards, including a way to gain the historic

>If you already own

, you will receive 11,000 Doubloons as compensation.

>>1856614
WHAT is the GIMMICK behind SAN DIEGO?
Smoke? Smoke+Radar? Crack cocaine?

>>1856669
SAP instead of HE (same damage as HE though, just more pen)
Heal
Main Battery Reload Booster

>>1856685
>>1856669
Oh and same shell ballistic as Austin and Sherman so easier to shooter at range compare to Atlanta.

>>1856685
>>1856669

>>1856614
that's a lot of free doubloons what the fuck

Lucky~
How should I build the captain?

>>1858421
I mean, do I need IFHE?

this means I'll get forrest sherman on the first pull right?

>>1859428
yeah, gg luckshitter
also explode

Any good tier 8 tech tree BBs for Ranked?

>>1859781
Maybe Ipiranga, although I haven't played it
Possibly Vladivostok
The thing is though that the S-tier premium BBs are fucking insanely broken, you're not hacking it in most/all of the T8 tech tree BBs against shit like Massa or Lenin

i havent played this game in quite a while, is any of my ships rare and should i get back into it

>>1861207
i guess i should also ask, is any of these still worth playing
it should also be noted ive not played this game since submarines were added and not actively played since ~2018

Should I buy a tier 6 at 50% discount or two French squadron premium containers?

>>1861554
don't buy anything

>>1861215
Akizuki is still pretty good, although there's plenty of creep at T8
Yamato is ever perennial
Kutuzov is still good
Scharn is alright (but mostly in ranked), can't give you an opinion on Mainz/Tirp/Littorio
Would skip all the T5 stuff
Myoko and Atago have fallen off hard
N. Cal is still whatever I personally hate it but Montana is not bad
Petro is still alright
T-61 is still good as it ever was

Do you think they will merge servers or allow cross play between servers?

Which line should I grind first?

What line should I grind first?

>>1862703
Sorry this shit is fucking fake. NA had last time less players then ASIA (NA players either merged to ASIA or EU). Also these numbers mean nothing when boomers will for ever keep the game running. Every match you see at least half the team of new players so anyone claiming the game is dying is a moron.

>>1861215
Which server? If you are NA RIP you.

>>1862822
Not him but I just started on asia because time zone and ping. Am I fug?

>>1862849
Ye you are. Go EU or don´t bother.

>>1862849
Ping doesn´t matter in wows, you could play with 200+ even. Also boomers and NA mergers fill tiers 8-10 perma.

>>1862898
Can't I have to change my sleep schedule.

>>1862898
Can't, I have to change my sleep schedule now.

>>1862918
Like you understand that the servers run 24h right? You always find matches.

>>1862929
With less than 2000 players? >>1862703

Why is Asia bad again? The player numbers are similar to EU.

>>1863031
the meta is worse

Which French line would you recommend?

>>1863561
kleber and and henri
cassard is fine too

Any opinion on Gneisenau VS Heinrich?

>>1863871
>kleber
No sorry, even Delny is better and if you want to play cuck battles with leg mod just play Cassard

>Henry
There are better kiters these days, not the worst pick but there is spotter plane Zao build or just Ven filling that role better

>Cassard
Good pick but if you are not a blue-ni-cum player you gona have no idea how to play her

>not mentioned Marseille
Ok?

>>1864367
>>not mentioned Marseille
I haven't gotten to her yet, I'm at t8 now and I'm having a pretty miserable experience

>>1864367
Marseille is good?

>>1864429
It can be fun if you dont care about winning since your just a farmer/flanker.

the French Squadron Premium container has such a good drop rate for premium ships (10%).
I bought one for 1250 doubloons and got this.

>>1864520
10% is not good lmao
even if you buy 10 of them (basically a t8 premium price) you've got only 65% chance of getting A ship

it's a scam

https://blog.worldofwarships.com/blog/current-status-of-aircraft-carriers-changes-and-closed-test-of-tactical-consumables
lol, lmao even.

>>1867442
Spotting mechanics were retarded for a long while now. They both don't make sense, and are unfun to use and unfun to play against. Meanwhile, WG is just digging themselves deeper.

>>1867887
What I want to know is, why do they love CVs so much?

>>1867953
This kind of question is not one anyone can ever answer.
Why do I like garlic so much? FUCK, I don't know, but I do like it.

>>1835819
Yes, join the happy few.

Is there any reason to get this if I already have W. Virginia '44?
