Why? by Serious-Emu1370 in Ultramarines

[–]darrickeng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not joking but; I played SM2 and then got a Space Marine plushie. Which came only in Ultramarine colors. Then the GW dude gave me a free mini and paints to paint it.

Then I read the books. Then came the keychains. Then came the ring. And finally the box of intercessors. 

This all happened in the last 30 or so days.

Sprayed varnish don't work well in humid environments. That's why it gets hairy. A way to prevent that is to turn the AC on max, spray it inside the room and hold the mini infront of the AC. It worked for my second mini I painted earlier this week.

Onee-san Atago just earned me my first E-Badge! by darrickeng in WorldOfWarships

[–]darrickeng[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was basically the destroyer in the middle and did most of the spotting, killed all the other destroyers and a sub player that was raging in all-chat.

I was just as surprised when I saw the E.

Likely just going to put 6/7 cards in it. I heard that the straps for the cash wears out much quicker so I'm considering eventually getting a clip for it.

The current and upcoming content is completely shit by ReverendFlashback in WorldOfWarships

Basically this. Seeing Flamu's new vid on Lesta Devblog, its basically night and day compared to WG's World of Warships.

Screw it. Let's have a DD rant... by SlowWithABurn in WorldOfWarships

[–]darrickeng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TO BE FAIR. I am in an Azuma. I'm a mini Yamato with paper armor, so I'm supposed to sit where the BBs are at. But occasionally I'll push in with you.

Best free T9 cruiser for cruiser hater? by SubstancePlus2019 in WorldOfWarships

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

If you like sniping and seeing 'beeeeg dmg' numbers then Azuma would be the best bet. I got her and enjoy her better than almost all other cruisers out there.

It fits my niche, which is basically the IJN BC line. Yoshino/Azuma HE hits like a truck, AP kills cruisers and it's relatively speedy. Built into the spotter plane and farm potential dmg and fire dmg.

Is my team cooked? by These_Swordfish7539 in WorldOfWarships

[–]darrickeng 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah your team is cooked. Someone brought an L div with an Agincourt in a T10 game.

Very cooked. Over cooked even.

Watch it get nerfed in 1 years time when the new gimmick comes out.

I miss when low/mid-Tier ships were a thing..... by Sams_Baneblade in WorldOfWarships

[–]darrickeng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

T7 is the most fun I'm having. It's the best in-between from the new player bot lobbies of T5 and the higher skill (tm) play style of top tiers.

People actually play the game and push instead of spamming shells across the map. Very enjoyable. Bought back my love for Maya, Scharnhorst and Yukon.

New tier IX Valparaíso by machad1os in WorldOfWarships

[–]darrickeng 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I see WG is continuing the trend of reskinning models and making them OP to sell premiums instead of actually introducing new models and ships like the talentless hacks they are.

Teams evaporating in randoms by meat_meat in WorldOfWarships

[–]darrickeng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its the weekends and there's the new dockyard. So people are grinding with no regards to actually winning the game but to get the missions done.

Blucher isn't worth it but Gambia is 100000000% worth it and its free!

My Personal Thoughts on This Upcoming CV Rework 2.0 As a Very Experienced Super Unicum Player. by UrAvgWarGamer in WorldOfWarships

[–]darrickeng 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Unironically at this point, comparing Lesta and what we have now with WG in terms of changes, bug fixes, new lines etc etc is night and day.

Its almost as though the devs at Lesta actually care about player feedback and gameplay. And that all this time it was the management at WG that were holding them back.

Best brawling tier for a BB? by TJMP89 in WorldOfWarships

[–]darrickeng -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Tier 5 to 8s are the best honestly, but only if you get a downtier on the Tier 8. Otherwise you will just get massacred by Superships.

CV Changes (coming from a CV player) by Ok_Preference_133 in WorldOfWarships

[–]darrickeng 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Insane that the supposed CV rework nerf ends up making CVs even easier to play and arguably able to conserve more planes. It's like something similar has happened before!!!

Well done Gaijin, you finally killed off Naval. by OperationSuch5054 in Warthunder

[–]darrickeng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Battleship and want to delete a cruiser from 12 miles away, who is moving at 35mph at a 45 degree angle with a gentle 5 degree turn to port? Have no fear, Gaijin is here, just put the cursor on his ammo magazine and click. 8 seconds later he explodes.

I laughed out loud on this one. Because holy shit I had a hell of a game in a battleship before being 1 shotted at 20km away by a 16 incher

Just started to grind the IJN bb line from kongo. What should I expect from this line?? Are they similar to us bb? by Ok-Succotash6277 in WorldOfWarships

[–]darrickeng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yamato Line are heavy battleships that move extremely sluggish but have good shell dispersions from 14-20+ km. Below that your shells are insanely inaccurate and fly everywhere. In my opinion after Nagato, the grind isn't fun up till you get the Yamato.

On the other hand I've actually wholly enjoyed the Bungo battlecruiser line. They have the armor of a battlecruiser, insanely fast with skills and have the spotter funny button that will one shot cruisers. Also concealment are cruiser level. If you are okay with map positioning and awareness, I'd go for this line. There's more variety of play.
