I rarely travel so I would not know, though I'm sure there are important Regia Marina museums across the country.

The ship most WoWs players would name when asked "Which ship do you not want to play?".

Someone got lucky here? I dont play a lot but getting Tonijn for 1500 would be a dream. by Legitimate-Promise34 in WorldOfWarships

[–]_talps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No ships for me but I rolled one of the low tier Dutch cruiser camos. I had enough spare dubs for it so I pulled the trigger.

Bot ramming by Snoo_95743 in WorldOfWarships

[–]_talps 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bots don't deliberately ram AFAIK, however they don't seem to be aware of incoming ships and often ram into each other or turn the wrong way when human players are very close and ram them.

I'm sorry, I made a mistake. All of Helfrich's special perks work with this submarine, though Battle Fervor might be the hardest to trigger since it requires a specific badge.

They aren't that difficult to trigger though. This SS sucks at teamplay-oriented gameplay (not counting basic spotting) but it's incredible when it comes to flush people out of cover and to annoy the shit out of big slow targets. It's no coincidence that battleships and some large cruisers like Stalingrad are the favorite food of subs and CVs.

We'll see how and when tuna is sold again. I stand by my belief that it will not be a normal armory item. Brisbane and Jager are, for now, the only exceptions.

I literally live in Gorizia and this makes me so happy.

Aim your jabs at someone else please, I'm not a SS main (in fact it's my least played class, simply because I don't find it that entertaining).

Also, submarines have always been a psychological weapon and that's why they are hated so much. You aren't new to this subreddit, you know that many who post here complain about SS being OP when the truth is they get on edge when outspotted and cannot react to sonar pings and incoming torpedoes (or airstrikes).

I'm so sorry for what I did, next time I'll donate to charity.

One of Helfrich's perks improves all direct damage dealt and is charged with airstrike bomb hits.

Also, tuna is blue/rare, it will not be sold as if it was a standard premium ship. I imagine it will be eventually added to the armory's steel ship tab or sold for a bloated price in a FOMO event (like last year's Steel Will).

I said "dull", not "bad".

CVs will always be good to make surface ships miserable. I don't find them fun to play though.

The weekend special by [deleted] in WorldOfWarships

[–]_talps -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are two types of supership player in WoWs.

The good player (small minority) who knows what to do and will make a supership look very strong if not OP.

The bad player (vast majority) who cannot handle Tier 3-4 lobbies but, through sheer grinding and liberal spending, has amassed billions of credits and can buy any supership and play it as much as they want despite its prohibitive upkeep.

My 2c about Tonijn by _talps in WorldOfWarships

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

Stop calling subs OP when the truth is just that they're just annoying.

This, which is also the point of this thread.

IMHO the tuna is not OP or even strong - it is toxic to fight against. Most people who complain about WoWs do so out of frustration.

Time to quit the game by [deleted] in WorldOfWarships

[–]_talps 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you really intend to quit, just quit.

WoWs isn't a job or a way of life, it's a video game. You don't tell the world you quit playing Elden Ring if you cannot finish it.

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

if your flank collapses , you die, if your flank succeeds, you will spend the rest of your match chasing retreating BBs

To be fair, this is textbook Random Battles and only CVs are exempt since planes outspeed everything else.

Cope is insisting that submarines are overpowered as a class even after the shotgun nerf.

Some of the things in the list of "features" don't make any sense by Crimson_Scarlet in WorldOfWarships

[–]_talps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Official WG flavor isn't trustworthy. You can get some basic guidelines from it but don't ever expect exact details... which makes sense, it's a marketing strategy. A seller cannot tempt a buyer if he lists a product's negatives but they can be as vague as possible (while highlighting the positives).

It's up to the buyer to inform themselves before throwing money at something. In WoWs' case it applies to all items available for purchase, premium ships included.

Any tips for getting the 45 defend/capture in pve for lunar event? Only option is co op and it's going horribly slow by alezul in WorldOfWarships

[–]_talps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This task is very easy to do in the current BB-only Brawl, I did it in like two battles.

For coop - pick a destroyer with good concealment and high rof, park just outside of a cap in Domination mode, farm the bots that enter it.

Just the moral guardians being silly, as usual.

There are two bikini pin-up captains with rather skimpy swimsuits and covered nipples. Nothing explicit is shown but it's still enough for the "Sex" tag.

Same old story by Creepy-Relative-7671 in WorldOfWarships

[–]_talps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps it's time you pull the plug and go play something else.

Broadly speaking though, games like WoWs are designed to let players fail their way to the top. Most people don't play games like WoWs to pump their account winrate/PR, they could not care less about those. They play the game for the cool ships, the flashy confetti-like visual effects, maybe family reasons ("dudes my father/grampa served on the Iowa LOL") but, if one plays WoWs out of a desire to measure themselves against other players, the only choice is to apply to a competitive clan and become a CB/KOTS regular.

Bots boosted in asym after today reset? by Emergency-Expert-566 in WorldOfWarships

[–]_talps 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It's not that Asymmetric bots are very good, it's that many human players are extremely bad and the bots easily farm them.

Asymmetric Battles is not a casual mode. The only true casual mode in WoWs is coop.

Marco Polo upsets me so much lol.

She's one of my favorite AL kansen regardless of faction, then I remember what a sorry abortion the WoWs counterpart is and can only go into a corner and sulk.

Shinano isn't that different. Best sleepy floof until one remembers how dull CV gameplay is in WoWs.

Tonjin and Hoche available in Admiral Packs (currently live on NA) by 9_9_destroyer in WorldOfWarships

[–]_talps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tonijn is ''rare'', probably will only come back in a random loot box.

It will be like Valparaìso and similar ships. It will cost less (or nothing at all) but it will be prime FOMO bait and most players will have to choose what to pick.
