How's this game in 2025 for a new player?

>>1831629
It was never that easy. Most amount of starting bonus shit, billion of good TT lines. Only issues are looking for any help on here (most are shit or don´t play) and if you play solo you won´t learn shit. Stay away from any streamers and toobers cause all they do is farm and explain nothing. If you are on EU get in touch with either 2DQT or HOTEL (first one for div and the later for solo). If you are NA then GG, your server is dying and you either start on EU or just delete the game again.

>>1841017
Yes pretty much, but issue is you are still locked out of snowflakes and dockyard missions cause well you need a good amount of diffrent ship classes and if possible as many +t8 ships as possible to have anything from it. So either start out now or don´t complain later when you are cockblocked out of certain missions.

It's a shame WoWP was actually kind of fun during the alpha and then they completely changed the core gameplay to ensure it wouldn't be fun

So with the changes that will change overall CV and sub dmg, all the apes that claimed they would come back whenever this happends aren´t saying shit now huh? Looks like it was just an excuse been bad at the game and not farming t5 to keep their stats up :)

I got this with the Scarlet Thunder
I never really play it but it still felt pretty good to first bundle a T9 premium

Is Soyuz hands down the worst ship in the entire game? After trying to grind through it in both randoms and operations, I am convinced that playing this ship is grounds for a ban
You should legitimately be able to report people who play this ship for intentionally griefing you and they should get banned for it
The ship has fucking atrocious armor, burns like it's coated in kerosene, has a citadel the size of the moon as if the survivability already isn't bad, it has one of the worst turning radii in the entire game and is slow as fuck on top of that, and then you finally get to the guns which simply don't work. Even at 10km, the dispersion is INSANELY bad. I cannot think of a single battleship in the game with worse dispersion than Soyuz. Even at 8-10km the guns are literally unusable, you're lucky to land 5 shells in a 9 shell salvo
The average salvo is 2 overpens, 1 pen, and maybe one ricochet to really rub it in. And that's at 8km of range. And then your AP does nothing. It has anemic fucking damage on 9 shotgun barrels and on top of all that it has a horrendous 33s base reload.
This ship is a floating EXP pinata meant to be farmed by the enemy team and is completely fucking defenseless. You can give this PoS flat broadside at 10km and it won't punish you.

>>1854336
I am ~85% done getting all the t10 tech tree ships. For the sake of my sanity, I stopped caring about ships being "good" or "bad", I just play whatever and I perform better than shitters anyway.

>>1828660
I already stopped twice. Now what?

>>1838921
>the game will only die the day BBs are useless
BBs will always be useful as DD fodder, though.

>>1854382
>I just play whatever
Problem is the Soyuz literally isn't playable
Imagine every time you fire your guns, it's shotgun dispersion and you land 3 shells
On a battleship with a 33s reload
If you don't see the issue here, there's not much I can say

>>1854423
>every time
>you land 3 shots
Guaranteed 3 shots landing is pretty good if you have shit dispersion luck, like me.

>>1854439
At 8km with a 9 gun BB for like 6000 damage? Every 33 seconds?

>>1854508
Yes.
This one is not actually dispersion related, but the first time I got into a Yamato I ended up against some cruiser on the western part of Mountain Range. I fired all guns at point blank range, guess how much damage? Zero, 1 missed and 8 bounced. Overmatch my fucking ass.

>>1855670
cont.
But either way, 6k damage per shot is about how much I used to get in every US BB at any tier.

I only play DDs cause they're tiny and cute and I can nyoom in and torp someone and vanish. :3

>>1855730
I hated playing N. Cal and Iowa, and sort of think Montana is okay, but my expected damage per volley on a well-aimed Iowa salvo against a good target is 10-12k vs the 6k you get from a similar salvo in the Soyuz
Part of me wants to grind the USN Standard line with the Vermont but I got N. Cal via the Ovechkin event many years ago so I never grinded out the USN BB line and I kinda don't want to go through it now.
Should've played the game during the early access and got the first ship in the line I guess.

Almost got enough steel, any ships you'd recommend?

How does Missouri hold up in the current day? I know they nerfed the credit earnings so only OG Missouri owners get the crazy credits, but part of me wants to own Missouri just because it's such a legendary ship both in-game and IRL and they've made it available for flat-out Doubloons

>>1829788
I don't, and I was a CV main back then, nothing that powerful should ever be in the game again

>>1904015
>>1829788
The problem with CVs has never been the control/view type, it was the fucked scaling. In RTS times, tier IV-V CVs were not amazing, but did enough shit to matter in a game. TX CVs were overpowered.
In 3rd person mode they essentially doubled down on that scaling and T4 CVs are fucking useless and can be completely ignored while TX are even more overpowered.

>>1905204
>fucked scaling
It was the skill gap, actually
In the current 3rd person system, there's usually not much CV on CV violence
Sometimes your CV drops a fighter for you and you don't get struck, but under the RTS system the more skilled CV would strafe and delete entire squadrons and deplane the other CV and then you had a worthless floating turd on your team that was powerless to do anything while the other CV picked you to pieces with cross drops
Yes, we still have bad scaling where a CV can torture you to death, and we still have CVs that are basically useless compared to the guy who knows how to max damage you every drop, but RTS was literally "this guy is out of planes and unable to influence the match in any way like 3 minutes into the match"

>>1905204
>tier IV-V CVs were not amazing, but did enough shit to matter in a game
Zuiho had 3 torp bomber squadrons at tier 5 lol, enough alpha damage to dev strike nearly 2 (two) tier 5 battleships with each strike, it might have been the single most overpowered ship to ever grace this game.
>In 3rd person mode they essentially doubled down on that scaling and T4 CVs are fucking useless and can be completely ignored while TX are even more overpowered.
I don't agree that T10 CVs are more powerful than they used to be. That aside what makes CVs broken isn't their raw power, it's that they get to choose where and when to apply damage. Even if carriers were abysmal shit at dealing damage, as long as they get to choose where and when to apply it at will, they will always be the class with the most game impact.

>>1903355
Mecklenburg

Any recommended ships for Tokyo Express? I will probably use the Massachusetts first.

Scharnhorst or Scharnhorst '43?

>>1907306
Massachusetts seems like a good idea.

>>1907306
Most of the US cruisers are good. Cleveland is good, even the rental if you're not a retard. Helena is usable for grinding if you're not at Cleveland in the tech tree.
Atlanta/Flint are not bad with all the DDs and low tier cruisers, can use San Diego too if you have it.
Baltimore, and any of the derivatives, are excellent. I've been using Rochester although imo the smoke isn't worth it, I just don't want to spend the credits rebuying Balti and wasting capt exp to put a captain on it lol. The DPM on Rochester/Baltimore might seem mediocre on paper but the SHS absolutely rape the AI cruisers if you're good at the game, I'm talking 3x citadel salvos and they just vanish. Congress is probably fine but I would stick to Baltimore/Rochester
BB wise - really only Massa. You can probably use Constellation and maybe Alabama as well, but the slow standard BBs are not great since you want to be flexible. If you have Massa, stick to it imo.
DD-wise, Kidd and the new Osborne if you paid out for it are both good options

But honestly, if you're not a totally garbage player, you can get away with some suboptimal picks in this operation since the DPS/survivability checks are really generous. The hard part of this operation is getting pubbie teams to do objectives properly. On that note, CVs (Hornet in particular) are actually not that bad of an option - you can strike the stationary DD targets for free once they're spotted by radar or whatever, you have plenty of stuff with no AA whatsoever to strike, and by sitting relatively far back you avoid getting illuminated by flares which makes it harder for your team to fail that objective.

3. How do you like the user interface and functionality? Is the game convenient? My first impression is: is the text content a little overloaded?!

4. I've been playing DOTA2 intermittently for about 15 years. If any of you have played it, could you give me advice on the similarities between the gameplay and the community as a whole.

Feel free to add or ask anything, both on my topic and beyond!

>>1923318
Serious answer: git gud.

>>1922669
1. suffering
2. ok
3. I like the interface, it's clean

>If you already have VIII San Diego
, you will receive 11,000 Doubloons as compensation.
and you get 32k for just playing until december?
so that's 43k free dubs?
nice

this operation is the best out of the three

>>1927831
It honestly probably is aside from the rare team too stupid to press 9
But I think the first operation will be a lot better when it rotates into an open schedule, if that open roster lets you use T9s (the article's wording doesn't seem to specify tier restrictions outside of 8-9)

>>1928983
I get the 9 star more often than the destroy the third island guns in 2.5 minutes star. It is sometimes impossible to complete this task because either your teammates are dumb as fuck or the guns spawn on the other side of the map behind hills.

Ok I got enough steel, Mecklenburg or Incomparable?

>>1929526
Meck because Incomparable is the worst BB at tier 10, even Yamato/GK are better

>>1929731
OK I got it anon, it seems like quite a relaxing ship only really bad thing about it is the gun angles. Now just to wait for asymmetric battles to come back.

>>1929731
Yamato is bad now? Damn, I remember when it was the best.

>they upped the tier of the ships in Arctic Convoy
This really sucks
It was the least fun/most difficult op and I was hoping they'd leave it as it was so it would be "easy" with T9 ships but nah now you have to deal with FdG and a bunch of high tier cruisers shitting on you

I'm sure this game has engagment based gun dispersion but I can't prove it.

>>1934626
I think it's linked to the amount of money spent. Many games use that as a hidden variable.

I think Yamato is good.

Buy - fuck, there really aren't any other T8 Japanese cruisers? I mean there's Tone but I'm not going to tell you to buy hybrid trash
I'd tell you to save for Azuma, but that's an entirely different playstyle.
Huh...

Yeah. I also,want Cossack. Which one should I buy?

>>1937973
I've got over 22k since the event's beginning
20k more to go
can't wait to spend it all on a fucking uhhh

Do you play DDs at all? Cossack was absolutely fucking disgusting at launch. I don't know how it stacks up in the current meta, it's been quite some time since I've touched it, but it was an absolute monster
>insane conceal, basically best in tier
>HUGE alpha damage and solid DPM allowing you to be an ambush predator
>short burst smokes so you can instantly disengage against ships with better DPM/go dark after you assassinate your target, can farm from them too once DDs are dead
>hydro to avoid getting counter torped or even to rush smokes against less experienced DD players
>all of this for $1 back when it was launched
Actually insane ship, it was legit broken and I have like a 60%+ WR with Unicum PR in it. You also have pretty good torps too, but you only have one rack of them so you're not a real hybrid. But they do work when you need them.
But ultimately Cossack is a very demanding DD that requires a solid knowledge of positioning, when to be aggressive, when to go defensive, how to duel other DDs, etc. The skill floor isn't too bad (since it has good conceal and short burst smokes) but the skill ceiling is huge.
Anyways even with the newer DDs in the game I'd probably recommend Cossack > Atago
The only real weakness Cossack has is that the shell arcs aren't great so if you engage a Soviet/French DD and they open the gap you're struggling but you can just short burst and disengage, you have so many tools.

>>1938161
>Do you play DDs at all?
A bit. Also, I have Kidd, should I just stick with that?

>>1938165
Nah I think Cossack is unique enough and the British DD line is still solid enough from what I can tell so it's worthwhile to have a British DD prem (if you just want a premium then there are plenty of T8 cruisers way better than Atago)
Kidd is sort of hit and run where you try to outlast using your heal and good DPM, whereas Cossack is ambushing people with your insane conceal, hitting them hard and fast, and pressing home the advantage (or disengaging with your smoke and then ambushing them again later)
Kidd doesn't have a hydro, so you have to watch out for torps in close range knife fights and play more passively. You also have the very good but very long cooldown USN smoke, so you can't use it on demand to break vision. I would say there are SOME similarities between Kidd and Cossack, but Cossack is a much more aggressive ship that isn't as forgiving (lack of a heal) but also much more dangerous.

Alright, thank you. I'll get Cossack and just wait for Takao later.

>having over 20k doubs for the first time
>the urge to splurge rising
This is why I am poor. How do I stop this, or at least spend them wisely?

there isn't even anything worth buying in the shop atm

you shiould

Any good tier 8 premium cruiser for doubloons?

I've been playing Hampshire in ops and this AP is amazing. Are there any other brit cruisers with these guns/shells that ideally have a heal or smoke? Looking around I heard people saying Gibraltar and Plymouth have them but I don't know if they do. Surrey has the same guns but I'm not sure if the shells are as good.

>>1934626
It definitely does. First few days back playing ops with Yukon and I was murdering cruisers with her. Now she misses 90% of shots or gets overpens.
