zaarin7 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I was interested in that till I noticed it was Random battles only and I never can sink one ship much less four in that so good luck with that and I will just wait till the release.

Marek Tucan Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Update: There seems to have been an info mismatch, the RU ship available in this is Tier VI Ognevoi. Anyway, getting 4 kills just for fun (as I already had my test drive) this evening, if lucky Clemson should be good for the US part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corinthian Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I was *this* close to getting my fourth kill with the Kuma. *this* close. It was a great game though. Solomons map. Standard battle IIRC. The southern group where I was in made contact with the enemy's main body. I sank a Myogi with torps, followed by a Kuma with AP shells on the citadel. Tangled with a DD and a Tenryu which was *this* close to dying until the kill was stolen from me. A Wyoming sank me but I sank her when my torps which struck her brought about flooding she couldn't stop. By the time I sank, we had lost two ships - the enemy 4/5s of the fleet. And another great game with the Furutaka, ending with me sinking a CV. Again, map was Strait, Domination battle. So far, I think I've lost a total of two games with the Furutaka, the rest were all wins. Luckiest ship so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RETAC21 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 6 kills in the Iwaki alpha yesterday, had n. 7 lined up but got ahead of myself and ran into an island, from which I couldn't back up (at close to 90º... bug?). I deserved to be called a noob for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyE Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Saw my first Königsberg (Tier V DE CL) just now, me and another Kuma hosed him to death with our 140mm`s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Jones Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Saw my first Königsberg (Tier V DE CL) just now, me and another Kuma hosed him to death with our 140mm`s. Saw my first one today, hit him with an HE round from my Aoba. Much to my surprise I got a Devastating Strike and he got a detonation. Seen the Soviet DD but haven't shot at one yet.

Marek Tucan Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 A comment from EU discussion on introduction of Russian and German ships, regarding some doubts about the use of cat and dog comparison. Have you seen cats and dogs? German cruisers were like cats: Just lying around, waiting for someone to shoo them off the couch or for a camera to be around to capture their cute antics. Soviet destroyers were like dogs, following their convoys. Whenever they met, there was lots of noise and they got to play the roles of the predators their ancestors used to be but they usually parted with just a few claw marks.

Marek Tucan Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 Konigsberg? The flat trajectory AP is pretty sweet, she was a rather valuable member of our team in the internal tournament... Better at mid/long range fight than Omaha or Murmansk thanks to the flat trajectory. Though squishier than Omaha - so if they did not pay attention, any destroyer with 5in guns and AP is going to be deadly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Jones Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 It's also a huge relief to have shells that do significant damage after fighting up through the somewhat less than impressive tier 3 and 4 ships in the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaarin7 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Gone back to the T 1 Russian ship and staying there till battleship and cruiser lines are released. Can't play DD's worth crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojan Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) They are tricky due the short torp range, but with 5x2 torps broadside if you get in range it is almost no escape for enemy. Once you get 130mm guns you can also play like (very light) cruiser. AP from those is good. Edited October 26, 2015 by bojan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaarin7 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 That's all good however got enough frustration in real life. Stopped playing DD's in Beta because of that. Stopped playing anything but heavy tanks in WoT because of frustration with trying to play anything else. Don't expect to win all the time but would at least like to have some chance of doing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunday Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I am finding that Königsbergen are to Omahas (and -hehe- Murmansks too) in tier V is like what Kumas were to Karlsruhes in tier IV. Omahas are sunk in two broadsides usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marek Tucan Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) On a good day, Konigsberg can off Pepsicola in 3 salvos. Been on the receiving end. Before I can turn turret, got critadelled almost to death. Next salvo... Gone... Edited October 27, 2015 by Marek Tucan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Jones Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I've decided to not sell it when I unlock the tier 6. Right now it's just too darn fun to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
