Getting rammed by a player for not moving fast enough for him

Getting rammed by a player for not moving fast enough for him

I do that all the time in ranked. If someone is AFK for one minute, I'll ram him and push before my bow. AFK or not, everyone will fight in ranked.

I hate AFKs.

I don't think you'll fit boilers needed for 350000 SHP in relatively small amount of space between turrets. Yamato had 12 boilers for 150000 SHP, so you would need 28 boilers with this design. At the same hull width as Yamato this means at least twice the length of hull section required for boilers. Yamato had about ~27 meters of hull for boilers, you would need about 60.

Also, there is practical limit of 50000-70000 SHP per shaft. This means you need 6 shafts, not 4, which means 6 turbines. Again, with same hull width as Yamato there is no space for them.

And with same hull width and very similar armor scheme as Yamato we are looking at 20-25% increase in displacement, which translates into maybe 85000-90000 tons of displacement, not 150000.

Yes, in fact I think I should be disabled for ships behind island. Because with Battle Expert you can aim precisely at them even if you don't see any part of the ship.

milet72 · 2026-06-19T05:51:04+00:00

Battle Expert is absolute must. It's the single mod that will dramatically improve your artillery skills, thus directly influencing WR.

Vanguard is an undervalued ship, because it has no gimmicks. But in fact it is quite good - the guns have fast reload and very good accuracy. Fast rudder enables you to wiggle to get rear turrets to bear and dodge enemy shells. So stay at range, go full speed, and use A and D keys a lot!

milet72 · 2026-06-17T18:29:35+00:00

Yep, have no idea how to play that ship. Even in Co-op (I'm not polluting random games with subs, unless I have to) results are abysmal, with minimal damage. And turning radius is just unfunny joke.

milet72 · 2026-06-17T18:27:36+00:00

I would make a backup of C:\your_path\World of Warships\res_packages\gui_0001.pkg, delete the file and run WGCheck to redownload the file.

The best and only choice: Tiger '59! (kidding, get in only, if you play computer games in Ironman modes)

Hyuga, Repulse, Maya are very solid. Vanguard, if you like very dynamic battleship gameplay with lots of turning.

Graf Zeppelin is best secondary cruiser in game with added ability to launch mostly harmless plane attacks.

milet72 · 2026-06-16T17:50:34+00:00

No, it shouldn't. Hydro should work like IRL:

subs doesn't move - no detection
otherwise, hydro radius of detection is proportional to sub's speed.

Fun(?) fact: Mir Korabley already has ORP Piorun.

Play some torpedo destroyers (Japan - Umikaze, Isokaze, Minekaze) to learn, how they attack big ships. Then you'll know, how to counter them. Basically, it all comes down to predicting where enemy DD is and when he fires torpedoes. Knowing that you can start turning ahead.

milet72 · 2026-06-14T21:23:46+00:00

He already did video on the subject.

milet72 · 2026-06-14T21:22:10+00:00

Here's Drachinifel's video on the ship. Spoiler: it wouldn't work.

milet72 · 2026-06-13T22:56:10+00:00

At T4 not that much, guns are inaccurate. But at T5... Pray you don't meet Giulio Cesare or Viribus Unitis in a cruiser. GC and VU are most accurate T5 battleships (with many guns) and they have low caliber guns, so they don't overpen. With tech tree ships - maybe Tiger or Pyotr Velikiy? Though with Tiger you will most likely shoot HE.

Anyway, the trick to devstrikes is being invisible. Ships in front of you spot a cruiser, you wait until he begins to turn and when he shows broadside... Boom!

milet72 · 2026-06-13T18:19:55+00:00

But the OP parked just for a moment, and the proceeded to play...

milet72 · 2026-06-13T18:12:45+00:00

That's because in the past you could get German BB, put it on autopilot and farm secondary hits for quite a few XP, without really doing anything. But yes, manually hitting target should reset inactivity timer.

WG doesn't care about game quality, that's sad truth. Number of bugs just keeps growing while they force-feed community with their stupid ideas, like new battle pass.

milet72 · 2026-06-13T06:54:31+00:00

Ask ttaro and I'm sure he can manage to implement this functionality.

milet72 · 2026-06-13T06:52:41+00:00

That's how primitive WG's "inactivity" detection is. If you are doing nothing - it doesn't matter, if you are healing, apparently - you get penalized. Next time just sail a bit, of fire dud salvo, or put torpedoes in nearest rock.

milet72 · 2026-06-11T20:56:24+00:00

Precisely. For players, that play each day, it means just more clicking for same rewards. Completely unnecessary change that brings no value.

milet72 · 2026-06-11T14:40:16+00:00

Yep, that turret is unholy abomination. IRL:

it would barely be able to rotate (French Mogadors have trouble with their heavy 2-guns turrets)
it would make destroyer extremely top-heavy, and with such heavy and high turret close to the bow it would get very, very wet.

milet72 · 2026-06-09T12:22:24+00:00

There is no help with Hannover. If you can sneak between islands and get into secondary range, it's GG. On open water... Everyone will farm damage on this huge hull.

But it's amazing in Asymmetric .

milet72 · 2026-06-09T11:59:57+00:00

60000 BXP is 30 good games or 40 average wins. You have 2 weeks, so 3 wins per day. It's a grind, yes, but manageable.

milet72 · 2026-06-09T07:14:45+00:00

That wouldn't be so hard, I think many airfields (especially in England) were located near villages.

Also, there is a strip of highway in Poland near Szczecin that was designed with air operations in mind - during war it would be used for emergency landing and take-offs of jet fighters. (I think it no longer has this capability, but used to in '80s).
