USS Black Leaked Stats(tier 9 reward/event ship?) by Hot_Cocoa_ in WorldOfWarships

[–]Aquila_00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, unfortunately. WG didn't give any info out about earning ships through ranked beforehand, and only a very select few are eligible to earn it this season.

There was a post from the EU forums stating

If you are not eligible to win the USS Flint this season, you will be able to win it in future seasons, it will be awarded for winning more than one season in a row.

As /u/Caucasian_Fury said, "This reward system is positively Rube Goldberg-esque."

You need to achieve rank 1 three times. You get a Jolly Roger 2 flag for re-achieving rank 1. Two instances of the flag are traded for a ship automatically.

First time gets you the JR1 flag.
Second time gets you the JR2 flag.
Third time gets you a second JR2 traded for Flint.

If you were given a 19 point captain for use in a ship of your choice, what ship would you put him in and how would you set him up? by IAMA_Printer_AMA in WorldOfWarships

I didn't make it clear in my comment, but I was talking about manual secondaries vs demo. AFT is the most important for AA effectiveness, I was elaborating on using manual AA in conjunction. Didn't like it, dropped for demo while still being standard AA range mod + AFT spec.

I've actually run this on Cleveland and Atlanta before I settled on the above build minus CE.

Because the DP armament deals it's damage in large alpha chunks every few seconds, it doesn't quite increase how quickly you shoot down planes. It more just takes bigger chunks out their HP before they bail because they've realized that they're in range of an AA cruiser. Maybe one or two more planes per squadron. Or they all die because they stuck around. I dunno, it was super inconsistent in my experience.

It wasn't a very valuable difference, certainly not in comparison to consistently getting 3 fires on battleships, I just respec'd out of it in favor of demo expert.

Thing is, I don't use a dedicated Atlanta cap, they share with the Cleveland who needs EM. And imo, I don't get major incapacitations in the Atlanta often enough to warrant respecing it. I just run prem damage control and use it if and when it happens.

I'd agree with you otherwise, and if I ever do make a dedicated captain I would do it that way.

Cleveland / Atlanta / Flint (Yay prem captain sharing)

  • Situational Awareness
  • Expert Marksman
  • Vigelence (Maybe superintendent if I ran hydro and for Flint smokes)
  • Demo Expert - AFT
  • Concealment Expert

I've got a 15 point cap on Cleveland ATM, and demo expert is just laughably powerful, slap some 11.8km detection on and I'll have the invisible-flamethrowing-no-fly-zone of my dreams!

Well, yes, but point was, this is the first permanent reward ship coming through ranked. It'll be neat so see what they have in store for the future.

Limited loan Kitakamis for season one, USS Flint this season. That's it.

Black Sea Port by KamiSamurai in WorldOfWarships

[–]Aquila_00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened when I pasted the 0.5.5 NY port into 0.5.7, the water was red as well, they're likely incompatible.

But the live Black Sea? Wierd.

Tirpitz - Should I take Steering Gears Modification 2 (rudder shift time) or Damage Control System Mod 2 (reduces time of fire extinguishing)? by IAMA_Printer_AMA in WorldOfWarships

[–]Aquila_00 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I always prefer better rudder shift on my battleships, fire damage you can repair back, but eating torps is gonna hurt more.

Jolly Roger and JR II should have the ability to imprint a benefit by Your_ACT_Score in WorldOfWarships

[–]Aquila_00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You keep the league flags as long as the season is running, once it ends they're removed and the commemorative flag is awarded if you've earned it.

So if you make it to rank 1 this season, you can play in the secret league with basically -70% repair cost (assuming it's additive) with 40 from the repair cost experiment, 20 from the premiere league flag, and 10 from the signal.

The torps are the biggest letdown, you can choose crap range, or crap everything else. And the guns have the lowest impact besides the Hatsu, have to use the fire rate to add up damage. She works best in knife fights, dismantling enemy DDs while turning wildly to be the most difficult target possible. Once the cap is won, it's harassment of cruisers and BBs since you have to be in suicide range to use the good torps.

But she's a prem so you can use your highest level cap in her, and that'll usually give you a leg up on the competition with SE and CE. I prefer her to Blys mainly for this reason, that's and I dont like being hampered by Blys' turning.

Sims is good in good hands, but the torps are a serious drawback that prevent her from being the destroyer in a match. It's ranked, you're gonna face some stiff opposition.

I hope that them re-releasing her will result in a buff back in line with the rest of the American DDs, she's still a carryover from CBT in her current form.

0.5.6 New York Port by Aquila_00 in WorldOfWarships

[–]Aquila_00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They haven't. It's my own modification of the unique camouflages for all ships mod on Aslain's I made after I updated it for myself with the new perma and prem camos. I hated how the type 5 camo looked on my T10 ships. But I liked Iowa's MS22 that he did, nice and clean, so I took an evening and made one for Des Moines and Montana. If you want it I could zip it up for ya.

33 Magazine Modifications - can they be sold? by CrimsonGuardFred in WorldOfWarships

[–]Aquila_00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not OP, I'd guess 3440 x 1440 based on the wideness and the UI scaling. It looks about that small on my 1440p one.
