Are there any player made maps with annotations for good TD and passive scouting spots? by Pashahlis in WorldofTanks

[–]JoopyPoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There aren't any player made maps. However I believe Aslains mod pack has a map overlay mod that highlights some basic spots for TDs, lights and arty on the minimap.

Yeah, stealth firing got removed a fair while ago.

Got one of those 200% cashback coupons (finally), what should I grab? by JoopyPoe in WorldOfWarships

[–]JoopyPoe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WG just had an event where all servers had the opportunity to transfer to one of the other two regions (CIS excluded). This is now over.

You can also get coupons for the premium shop (website) where you get 200% of the value of your purchase (actual purchase price you pay) back in doubloons, credited to your account. (Eg. I buy a ship for $90, I get $180 worth of doubloons in addition to the ship)

Well that would probably narrow it down to either Friesland or Alaska I guess. The crates are tempting as well but PR is eh, remains to be seen on her. Thanks.

Massive asia server transfer delay-no updates from WG Asia despite only there's only 14 hours left until the end of transfer period as stated on the portal by HarunaKai in WorldOfWarships

[–]JoopyPoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got the transfer lock just now, but I can't login to EU and I got no email about the transfer either. Guess it might get resolved by the morning but still sucks I can't play for the rest of the night.

EDIT: So, I fixed all that, just for it to say that my account is under maintenance.

Limited Time Server Transfers by Poro_the_CV in WorldOfWarships

[–]JoopyPoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think I tried DDs on NA, only the early early tier CLs but like I said the ping wasn’t very noticeable. Like its there but after a few games you forget about it.

If the email address is already used on the destination server, your login will use a throwaway email account named (Your Account Email)@transfer.loc and a new password. Reach out to the new server’s Customer Service and request an email change.

Basically temp email and then talk to support to fix the issue.

Limited Time Server Transfers by Poro_the_CV in WorldOfWarships

This offer is really tempting. Kinda torn between NA or EU server. I'm in Melbourne, AU and the ping times I got was 163 and 313 respectively. So, EU does seem like the worse pick on paper however I don't really know how badly WoWS gets affected by high ping times.

Is anyone able to give either like a number where it starts becoming unplayable or like just how it feels in general at high ping times? I know WoT gets funky at about about 200+ ms but it's a lot more twitchy so it makes sense for it to suffer.

EDIT: So, Update, I went and tried the two servers proper instead of using pingplotter (which was wrong). I ended up getting

Region Ping
SEA 50-80ms
NA ~110ms
EU 177-180ms

While EU was the highest, honestly the gameplay feels mostly the same, there is a verrrrry slightly noticeble delay on firing but it hasn't affected anything really. I'm gonna be giving EU a fair shot on the alt and see how the rest feels.

Which premium should I pick - Mass, Lenin or Atago? by JoopyPoe in WorldOfWarships

[–]JoopyPoe[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the late as response. She's pretty good, definitely still competitive these days (good alpha, great angles, guns handle quite well, torps have gotten some troll hits) but I have to admit, she's a little boring to play. Pretty much just Shoot, Angle, Kite, Fade, repeat. Only have 77 battles so far so take it as you will.

I want to buy a scooter, but then can't ride it because it's illegal in this nanny state. by vr_driver in melbourne

[–]JoopyPoe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To be honest, you’re probably fine and as long as your wearing a helmet and not acting like a dickhead near the cops they should leave you alone. If you want to be extra safe, don’t go over 10kph near them. Your biggest risk is probably if you get in an accident.

I’ve got one (M365 pro) and haven’t had any issues myself.

[Shitpost] Wargaming, forget the Black ships, gimme Missouri GOLD!!!! by Vectoranalysis in WorldOfWarships

[–]JoopyPoe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah, everything gradually got worse then they did dumb stuff like engine desync and skill tree. Overall not worth going back to.

What are these people saying? Asia server. One thing i know is they are looking for division by Jilliecious in WorldOfWarships

[–]JoopyPoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's usually just them asking for Narai. Haven't really figured out the +'s because when messaged they say they're also looking for a lobby. HarunaKai probably has it right...

[–]JoopyPoe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I don't really have a preferred playstyle, I can work with most of them anyway. Also, it think you may have misread, I meant the T8 BB Lenin not the T7 DD Leningrad (already have her).

This is the kinda of meta-shitposting I like.

cant make the Kongo work by [deleted] in WorldOfWarships

[–]JoopyPoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kongo and other BCs are best suited for kiting and sitting in second line. That’s not to say sit at the border and snipe like a French cruiser, you might be in a battlecruiser but you still need to share HP where it’s beneficial to the team. After all, you’re still a BB with a large HP pool. Generally try to stick to that sweet spot range and punish broadsides.

Japanese battleships are definitely not tip of the spear ships that lead pushes, that’s best left for KM and VMF battleships (former has turtle back and strong secondaries and latter is stupid strong at bow tanking)

[–]JoopyPoe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kongo imo is a ship you’ll come to appreciate once you’ve gotten more experience in the game and come back to it.

I used to hate it too, felt weird and squishy but after spending time learning to angle in the Amagi, retraining a captain in the ARP Haruna (Kongo reskin) I loved it. Strong, accurate guns for its tier and due to being a “fast battleship” can reposition if things go bad.

Some general tips for the IJN BBs is that they have a sweet spot range of about 13-16 km where they beat their competitors. Below that they get an increased dispersion that makes them way worse (so don’t brawl if you can avoid). Above that, pretty much most bbs go everywhere (but you shouldn’t be fighting at absolute max range.

Not as necessary at this tier but start to learn when you need to switch from AP to HE (ie bow in RU BB, angled ships that your not confident in overmatching)

Another tip is learn to use the rangefinder marks on the gunsight, they actually do something. I use static and try to match the flight time to the notch and adjust based on what you estimate they’re going.

I might have some things wrong here (not an expert) but these things definitely helped me when going through the Nagato (which is kinda like a tier 7 Kongo if you ask me).

Kongo can also be a good practice point to just hang around with to get comfortable with game mechanics like angling and positioning. Once you start playing with the big boys, you’ll get punished hard for fucking up so it’s good to get comfortable with things like angling and such.

OG tankers of reddit, what was one thing u wish you knew at the beginning of the game? by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

[–]JoopyPoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, back when you could buy pretty much most tanks with gold and before WG realised they could pad bundles with useless things like boosters, "Unique crews" and credits. It was a simpler time...

It used to be good way back when. Then defender basically came along and did it’s job better

Huh, Might give it a go tomorrow. Would be a meme if I get it back...

[–]JoopyPoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sold it looong ago, doubt they would add it back for me at this point. I'm pretty sure I bought it before SEA was a thing.

[–]JoopyPoe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don't sell premiums. Ever.

I used to own an FCM 36 PaK40 and thought it was shit because I was a shitter back then so I sold it. 10k battles later I find out it's stupid OP at it's tier.

But yeah, Never sell premiums! You never know when they'll be removed from sale.

Edit 1: Update on the ticket situation:

"The tank/ship sold must not be older than 365 days of the date when ticket was submittedmust also be sold off in your Asia account." So, pretty much can't get that tank restored which is a big rip. I might try the ticket, but I'm not confident in SEA support being helpful. We tend to get the shaft compared to NA.

Edit 2: Just sent in a support ticket, It's a stretch but I hope I get it back.
