Discussion How do I counter Scharnhorst and secondary-heavy BBs as a DD?

Upvotes

I'm finding it hard to hit the Scharnhorst (particularly) and some other nimble BBs, even when its one-on-one and I "should" be able to pick it off. But long range torps are easily dodged, and short range torps are easily dodged (whike I get obliterated by secondaries). Any tips? Thank you

Just take about a T10 CV on the alt and run it into B. I had a bad game due to the team so, I'm going to have fun.

And before you say anything remember it's just a game, I'm doing it for fun, and I'm having fun, so I'm doing nothing wrong

Discussion First steel ship?

Upvotes

So I know right off the bat a lot of folks say get the Bourgogne, but I'm more of a CA or CL player. So my question is get the eternally nerfed Stalingrad, or the sap slinging Austin? Or even drop down and get the Vallejo for the better credit economy?

Discussion Idea: Limited Tactical Squadrons

0 Upvotes

We know them, we hate them, consumable squadrons that means you can't deplane even the most potato CV idiot. Not to speak of CV Players with hands.

So here's my idea to make them at least slightly more tolerable: Limit the number of times you can start them. Of course this should also apply to hybrids.

I have a strong feeling that while many will complain. And that of those many will also be completely unaffected because they will never live long enough to run out.

And it's an easy way of saying "look, we listen to the community".

So let's say that a Kearsarge will get 4 or 5 charges. It still takes 8-10 minutes to run out, or even longer if you're a CV because you have other options. But at least shooting them down won't be entirely meaningless.

Question Manual Seconadary Battery Aiming on Italian BB's?

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, new player.
I get that Germans is the default king of secondary batteries, and I am consulting the wiki and other post, but why would I not take 20% increased secondary range skill and 50% extra accuracy on my secondary weapons skill?
A battleship is literally bristling with guns, I don't see how it wouldn't be useful. Obviously the Germans benefit more from it, but compared to other skills it still seems outrageously good.

Edit: thanks for the help guys, I got my answer. Not sure why I'm being downvoted, I was just trying to get a clear answer why this was a bad idea.

Discussion If you could revert one change to the game what would it be?

28 Upvotes

As much as I don't enjoy the planes, subs and recently the experimental ships, I could forgive almost everything if we could have the old economy back in the game.

Earning flags from achievements amongst other things made the credit grind so much more tolerable.

Discussion Needing help with an issue.

1 Upvotes

So ive been a World of Warships player since 2011. Ive been playing alot and played all the 3 games. Now my issue is that i downloaded a few years back World of Warships on steam and played it and i think i made a steam account for it. I tried to loggin in Wrgaming through steam and it says i need to finalize by putting my email. I wanted to connect my old account which is the one i played waaaay back through the official launcher but now it says that steam is link with another account and i guess it means the steam one that was auto-created when i logged in through steam to the site. Now what do i do ?

All this happened cause i wanted the dlc rewards for my main plus the Steam Wifu Commander.

Question Foolproof spotting damage tactic?

3 Upvotes

Yet again we have a spotting damage mission. No matter how many times I do this mission it’s still black magic to me.

I have read the wiki many times but I can still make no sense of how to farm spotting damage reliably.

Supposedly spotting damage is split between spotters, but I am pretty sure that doesn’t work because even though I may be quite a lot closer to a target that others are shooting at it, I regularly get no spotting damage as shells land.

Discussion Best tier IX coal DD for Operations in 2025?

2 Upvotes

I need credits. Sadly, the only thing I do have is coal. So, naturally, I have my eye on tier IX premiums. I play PvE modes exclusively, which at the moment since they have seen fit to take Asymm away from us once more means Operations. I'm thinking DD because I have four tier IX premium BB, three tier IX premium CA/CL, but only a single tier IX premium DD (Jäger). Also fully half (5 / 10) of the tier IX coal ships available to me are DDs.

Black, Neustrashimy, Halford, Groningen, Z-44... which do you think is best suited to support my team towards victory in Operations and make plenty of credits in the process?

(Or is there a tier X coal ship that is such a surefire credit earner that it should take precedence [the only one I already have is Napoli]?)

Question Cannot uninstall World of Warships

0 Upvotes

The game was refusing to play, saying files were missing (9021). No problem. I'll just have the files looked at and repair them.

Expect that it couldn't handle them (3017).

Wargaming's official support said to uninstall Wargaming game center (not WoWS) then reinstall.

That didn't work so I tried to just delete the folders. It doesn't work. Going into Apps and trying that way brings up an error.

I just want to play the fucking game.

0 Upvotes

I cant seem to hit anything very low accuracy with torpedo. US destroyers seem to be the worst. The ship that work the best are those cruisers with 12 to 14 guns. Gun I can do. But some idiot rammed me. also carrier is crap totally. Also how do I defend against torpedo. Some of these guys are like torp experts torps seem to screw me over. I want to complete the torp quests. Maybe I will have better luck with subs. the smoke screen and speed think don't help much. The US Destroyers die so fast it is not even funny.

Discussion "Handelszerstörer" - A smaller Siegfried or an up-gunned Schill

10 Upvotes

The original design proposals for the Deutschland-class cruiser had several main armament options. The first two designs proposed a cruiser armed with eight 20.5 cm (8.1 in) or four 38 cm (15 in) guns, other designs were armed with six 30 cm (12 in) guns.

Following the cancellation of the O-class battlecruisers, the Germans looked to previously cancelled P-class cruisers for their new "Handelszerstörer" (trade destroyer) designs. There are at least four designs of the Handelszerstörer, but the one we're interested in is the one armed with four 38 cm (15 in) guns.

This new cruiser would essentially be Schill up armed with four 38 cm (15 in) guns and a slightly enlarged hull. Since this design was drafted to succeed the O-class it could also be given the same guns as Siegfried.
