Soooo, I actually took four torps from a friendly DD the other night. How the hell you get to T8 and still make serious oopsies is beyond me.
If he wasn't so apologetic I would have broadsided his ass.

On another note, I firmly committed to learning how to manually launch torps from planes....  O! M! F! G!

OP, right there.

Once you get some experience manually launching torpedoes from TBs, there's nothing a target ship can do.  Guaranteed hits.  The main reason I regularly avoid high tier matches in BBs and CAs.  Some of those CV players, who have used manual drops long enough to get their carriers to T8+, can kill you with impunity from across the map and there's nothing you can do about it other than hope you're not the one they're picking on at the moment.


I see BB drivers complain about destroyer torpedoes, but anyone who's played destroyers for awhile know how to take preventative measures & avoid whole spreads before even spotting them.  It's the Air Cancer torpedo bombers which can be utterly unavoidable.

Now having said that Nef, a good fighter screen will ruin their whole day. I know some CVs go fighter heavy and they are my bane. I try to lure them into the warm reception of a good allied AA ship but they are typically patient and not prone to over reaction.... if I send in a decoy flight, they using just send enough to do the job and maintain a picket.

I know that if my team is good the ships with great AA usually identify them selves in battle and do not turn it off. (really BB?? you have your AA off for increased stealth??)

I pray that my team's CV player(s) have brought some figthers.  But that's so often not the case.

Actually, I think the majority of them go nearly all Bomber loadout in an attempt to get in those quick easy kills early on.  Not surprising because the game literally rewards bombing far more than shooting down hordes of bombers.

I'd estimate only 1 in 6 matches I've had feature a CV teammate with fighter loadout capable & willing to protect his teammates.   Many are just out for quick & easy money/xp before their planes all get shot down, and damn the team.  Has made me rather bitter about seeing CVs in my matches.

I just got the Kiev. A bit fragile but really fast and its 6 guns pack a punch. More like a pocket cruiser that really puts the smack down on Japanese destroyers.

I don't even play World of Warships and that made me laugh.

Thanks something to watch while I do 'another' update!

Finally got my Mikasa predreadnought battleship - odd that it didn't come with a captain.  ???

Think I've got like 13 more to go to get that.. Bummer on the Captain the tier II DD, I was able to put the Captain on a better ship before I sold it. Can you still sell it to get a free port slot?
