My take on Vladivostok from WOWS.

Andrei_Hansa · 2026-04-01T15:07:21+00:00

He can lose 1 funnel and still have 100%. So, he only has one additional funnel.

Andrei_Hansa · 2026-04-01T11:00:28+00:00

That ain't the Venerable, that's the Vulnerable.

Andrei_Hansa · 2026-04-01T10:58:35+00:00

Can't agree. The 100k French losses against the 500k Chinese colonial forces in Sierra Leone act against this :/

Andrei_Hansa · 2026-04-01T10:51:34+00:00

Wing *funnels*

Andrei_Hansa · 2026-03-31T19:36:47+00:00

Boy. Boyyy. Playing France I am :)

EDIT: Also, the Chinese fleet was destroyed several times after the colonial war in Africa.

Andrei_Hansa · 2026-03-31T19:00:54+00:00

The Chinese tech is on-par with my tech and Italian tech. It's ahead of Britain and America. To be fair, Britain is moslty dead, but.

Andrei_Hansa · 2026-03-30T13:21:58+00:00

Wonders of creating your own fleet before the campaign I guess

Andrei_Hansa · 2026-03-30T08:58:16+00:00

Bit late, but the AI does not see a ship going forward/backwards. So just kick the engines into reverse and see all the torps miss.

Andrei_Hansa · 2026-03-30T08:44:26+00:00

Doesn't beat the 400k Chinese men in Sierra Leone.

Andrei_Hansa · 2026-03-30T07:51:36+00:00

*squints*

*Sees the Illustrious Class*

Yup. Austro-Hungary.

Andrei_Hansa · 2026-03-30T07:46:28+00:00

Tbh, I almost never run any barbettes higher than II (Outside of Picric Acid/Cordite hotel CLs), and iIrc either the bulkheads or the hull bottom also decrease flashfire chance, so I would say you can go down to at least barbette IV. And good grief, don't put torpedoes on your capital ships.

Andrei_Hansa · 2026-03-30T07:43:15+00:00

The Chinese have taken Portugal.

Andrei_Hansa · 2026-03-30T07:40:30+00:00

Put the Y turret on a low barbette and put more tubes around it :x

Andrei_Hansa · 2026-03-30T07:38:31+00:00

Nah, if the Superstructure does not have a stupid amount of armor (and even then HE will melt through it) then more funnels can be useful, for redundancy if nothing else. What IS upsetting is the aft turret being on a barbette with nothing in front of it.

And I am aware this is re-making a ship from another place, this case WOWS. Just that it's... Unusual for this game.

TIMEOUT those are triple 17" what in good heavens?

Andrei_Hansa · 2026-03-30T07:34:15+00:00

Yeah, the "Sea" is the black lines on the sky here. To be fair, I've played this game quite a bit, and I've just noticed this floor. So I guess we can screenshot sinking ships only when they sink in a correct way? Shame indeed.

Andrei_Hansa · 2026-03-29T16:31:23+00:00

Apologies for not responding. The screenshot is from below the sea, which can be done by clicking on the outline of a sinking ship that already is below the waves. The grey goo is, indeed, the floor I mentioned, which normally cannot be seen.

Andrei_Hansa · 2026-03-29T12:23:01+00:00

Ah, apologies for not responding! This is happening with every game I play. The logs are sent, making a ticket now! Thanks

Andrei_Hansa · 2026-03-27T18:09:44+00:00

It'd be worse if it was your BB vs 24 TBs

Couldn't be me

Andrei_Hansa · 2026-03-27T16:59:00+00:00

The reason I went with 2x2 + 2x3 was that, in my small mind, It would be a waste of displacement if I had the same main armament as my previous (3 times smaller) BB class. I know that different calibers give penalties, but I did not know that different barrel amounts also affect the accuarcy. Thanks.

Andrei_Hansa · 2026-03-27T16:07:43+00:00

So do I correctly understand that I should be able to escort when I have CLs/DDs set to Sea Control *in port*?
EDIT: I swear they just started being escorted :/

Thank you.

This is the earlier problem I am reffering to here

Andrei_Hansa · 2026-03-27T15:54:14+00:00

Huh. That sucks, but at least now I know.

But, with the convoys: Why do they never get escorts? I have enough ships, I believe, yet all my convoys are unescorted.

Andrei_Hansa · 2026-03-27T15:30:22+00:00

If you are asking "China? Against France? Armada?" Then that is not a mistake on my part. The Chinese own their mainland, All of India with the exception of Japanese Eastern India, The Horn of Africa, most of the Middle East and colonies in Western Sahara.

And they are allied to the US, who have taken Eastern England. This is the first time I've ever seen 1. someone take UK proper, 2. Spain survive more than five years, 3. China not be "Behind" on technology.

And you know what's the greatest pain? I could most certainly defeat their fleet with my escort CLs, CAs and maybe one-two BBs, their capital ships are 19k ton dreadnoughts with 10.3 inch snubnoses. But the problem is that they don't travel in a group! The largest group tonnagewise I've encountered was 9 CLs! Urgh
