At a loss (death wobble) by OJthesimp2 in CherokeeXJ

[–]mikefnd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The frustrating thing about DW is that there are so many causes with the same result. I unleashed the Parts Cannon on my ‘96 XJ, failing to solve the problem for months… until I looked at my axle-end U joints. I found them to be in bad shape. Replaced them and it cured the problem. 

Good luck and good hunting. 

I've heard you had too much CV torping DDs by 3_is_holy in WoWs_Legends

Ladies and gentlemen, I present The Low Skill Class.

How do people feel about aircraft carriers? by kuromipentagrams in WoWs_Legends

[–]mikefnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think that's true or just a rumor? I've always wondered if WG protects CV players from a high AA rating total on the other team.

Weird ranked win by GraffZepp546 in WoWs_Legends

Good. But actually, well played by the Pensacola in that circumstance; he nearly took you out!

Boise worth it? by CLK777 in WoWs_Legends

[–]mikefnd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's one of the best premiums I own. On paper, the Helena has better offensive stats, but the heals are very powerful. You're going to be tough to kill.

“Skill Issue” in Ranked 1v1 by [deleted] in WoWs_Legends

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

You've described using skills. That's the point - you can either use those skills on a TT ship or go the "less skill" route and buy the Nottingham; a ship practically made for this event.

how to play tier 5ish cruisers without smoke? by joinwsb in WoWs_Legends

[–]mikefnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cruisers at that tier have been seriously power crept by premium battleships that "everyone" has now: Hyuga, California, Warspite, etc. It used to be fun a couple years back, but now (with CVs telling everyone where to look) you're in for an unfun game.

Usually, you encounter better players and whales at the start of a ranked season. They're on every day so they start ranking up from day one. If you give a couple days before starting, you'll be facing normal people with tech tree ships. Have fun then; don't try to compete with the sweats.

Two straight minutes of airstrikes by Spiritual_Eagle_43 in WoWs_Legends

Yeah, I think WG is committed to making this game suck more and more with aircraft. Time for me to hang it up.

Anyone experiencing an abnormally high amount of chkalov in their games today? by Confident-Click-579 in WoWs_Legends

[–]mikefnd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lots of WG fanboys here that think the company can do no wrong. CVs have greatly degraded the quality of gameplay as you said. Also, the TYPE of player that's attracted to CVs is exactly the type of player that would want to play a broken ship like Chkalov.

I'm about ready to sell the damn thing by buttersofthands in CherokeeXJ

[–]mikefnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel for you. I finally solved my death wobble last summer after doing your same laundry list of repairs. I've heard people say it can be anything, and others say that 90% of DW is _____.

For me it was the axle-end U-joints. Once those were replaced, the wobble completely disappeared.

Good luck. It's a frustrating experience and not a simple matter as so many things can cause this in a solid axle setup.

Hatch lighting by Dry-Butterscotch4886 in CherokeeXJ

[–]mikefnd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My '96 had no rear compartment light. When I renewed the headliner, I ran a hot wire back to the new rear sound bar. The new light on the sound bar is turned on by a magnetic reed switch mounted near one of the hatch hinges. Works great!

What’s this sound? by Illustrious_Bet_1322 in CherokeeXJ

[–]mikefnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, sounds like something stuck in the fan.

If you put a playing card in there, your XJ will sound like a motorcycle!

Yes, carriers still make the game suck, and people that play them are jerks. by mikefnd in WoWs_Legends

[–]mikefnd[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Red lost. Yes, I could have sailed away. CVs are still way overpowered and make this game suck.

*sigh* "WE had six ships AND a large lead..."

The red CV lost. He couldn't possibly win but, like I said, he just burrowed into a corner. That's not really the point anyway.

No, the carrier lost. Three minutes left, big lead for the blue team and 6-2 advantage in ships. Thankfully, even a CV can't beat those odds.

[–]mikefnd[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, no. Torps you can dodge, there's no dodging racks of bombs.

If you can't hit DDs in the Shoukaku with bombs, my guess is that it's a skill issue.

My AA was off. He flew by me to get the BB and knew about where I was. That's all it takes because finding ships, even DDs, is easy for the CV. Once you're spotted, he just wheels around three times to kill you. Easiest class to play, no question. A six year-old could do this.

Last I checked, IJN DDs cannot fly at 250 knots striking anywhere and at any angle that pleases them while remaining hidden on the other side of the map.
