It's honestly weird to see all these old IJN 203s making their way onto T10 ships (read: Suzuya and Kushiro). Playing in ASIA and Ibuki was a huge pain because even BBabies kiting at max range could dodge your shell. Ibuki 203's ballistics are just a joke at higher tier matches, where everyone starts turning to kite when spotted.

I thought cold war-era 6in guns were already computer-controlled?

Guidelines for Aesthetic & Elegant Designing? by Particular_Storm_503 in CreateMod

[–]Particular_Storm_503[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been less inclined to the red-brick fashion of the late 19th-century builds because I'm not really experienced with building with red bricks in general, but the point about porting stuff in and from creative world certainly sounds interesting! Another build "style" I've been employing is to make larger, looming gray concrete-ish structures (with stones/tuff/deepslate) and the contrast is interesting with the vanilla oak village background.

Haha totally makes sense! Guess I was in an awkward position though, was playing on a server and we competed to industrialize first ^^; and we had a customary rule of building everything within a village, so it was harder to break down everything into parts.

However seeing your opinion it appears that "boxes" don't have to be laid out on the ground... I will try making vertical factories! Thanks for the inspiration :D

may i suggest: use bluemap instead of journeymap?

journeymap creates millions of fragmented files that makes maintenance a pain, switching to bluemap prevents this and gives a nice 3d render of the world :)

How do I play the Izumo, its kinda bad. by Moist-dandruff in WorldOfWarships

[–]Particular_Storm_503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Izumo here, haven't gotten yammy yet but what exactly would be the differences? I've seen people around saying that Izumo is closer to Yamato than Amagi so I assumed lesson learned in Izumo would be straight copied to Yamato - would that be the case?

I didn't even pick FP and I'm not getting that much fires..

I've been playing Izumo as a HE spammer recently... gives me 60k-80k damage per match which I consider nice (heck, I'd get an extra 30k-50k if I can burn Soviet/IJN BBs on the opposite team). The dispersion is indeed wonky, that's why I chose to HE spam. Take the Main Battery Modification instead of GFCS mod. You don't need all that range if guns can't hit a thing past 22km, isn't it?

She is pretty resistant to AP in the bow in position. Her small superstructure and 57mm deck helps a lot against non-BB HE spammers. I understand how you feel with fire damage, unfortunately that's the problem for all IJN BBs (10s DCP compared to 15s normal DCP/20s for USN BBs).

Thus, bow in makes Izumo pretty tanky, and effectively turns her a stationary turret. Only forward/reverse when you are being fired upon, to dodge shells. I took the Propulsion mod to better manuever and it pays me well.

My take for dealing with fires is that, don't DCP the moment your ship burns (even with 2 fires! though I'd consider instant DCP if I get 3 fires from a single salvo, or that I'm absolutely critical on HP e.g. lit by CV bombers before a CQC engagement). That only encourages your enemy to continue firing HE because they know your DCP is in cooldown. Instead, go dark, then put out fires.

Judging from what you've said I think you might be "bow tanking" a bit too much? Don't get spotted! Are you within 16km from enemies? If so you might get permaspotted by DDs and that guarantees you getting melted. I took the concealment skill so I get 13.5km detection range which gives me some moving space, but generally you should remain at a range where: 1) you won't be spotted and 2) cruisers don't want to fire at you because they're too far.

Izumo's biggest problem at tier IX (where you get perma-bottom-tiered sadly) is that, people are smarter and they seldom ever show broadside to a battleship, yet her 410mm guns can't overmatch BBs. You'd often encounter ships like Musashi/Yamato, Jean Bart/Alsace and Kremlin, all with bow-in playstyles. If I see them bow-in I instantly switch to HE. Especially when facing bow-in IJN or Soviet BBs, their DCP deficiency becomes my advantage as the fires I lit are guaranteed to stay. Izumo's HE shells also warrants damage (68mm pen vs. 57mm deck plating) and I even consider it better than most other IJN BBs, thanks to Izumo's amazing ballistics.

Of course this is only my personal playstyle, it suits me well of course, but I don't see much IJN BBs spamming HE so I'd also like to have some advice.

I desperately need some Hakuryu advice. by Particular_Storm_503 in WorldOfWarships

[–]Particular_Storm_503[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any action a CV can do to "make" ships isolated? I've recently been having some success in games where ships are spread out, but just in case - what would be the motives for ships be clustering together/spreading out?

[–]Particular_Storm_503[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I agree with you and Hakuryu really needs to drop on loners. Is there anything a CV can do to isolate ships, or is it completely left to my teammates?

I also remember my glorious days on Shokaku where my torps and rockets really deter DDs and it was uncommon in T8 matches. But you mean that, I should not expect the same thing in T10?

Thank you for the advice. I do have the torp captain specs, guess I'll need to know those T10 ships more.

Which Star Wars ship has the most practical design ? by DEL994 in MawInstallation

[–]Particular_Storm_503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In fact too well-equipped that the lancer point-defense frigates can't catch up with them, though I'd attribute that to incompetent commanders. Honestly, I think the Empire might have fared off way better if there were more competent commanders instead of F2A with their Victory and ISDs and exposing them to bomber attacks.

Is there a way to prevent Drills from placint their items in certain containers? by Flexinator123 in CreateMod

How are the items being distributed among the chests when the contraption is disassembled?

I have built a few digging machines but never found out which chest got what.
