Few interesting observations tonight.
1) Had a magazine detonation 2x. Once in a DD (17000 damage in 1 shot) and once in a Crusier (23000 damage). I was solid green and then suddenly all blown up. 2) I managed to torpedo myself in my carrier. Like usual, my team offered no defense and I was being swarmed by 2 DDs. I got my planes launched and brought in some torpedoes danger close. Got the DD's and myself! 
3) I need to platoon. The complete lack of strategy (and thus losing more than I'm winning) is just driving me insane. I watched 4 BB's play world of bumper boats in the same grid square as they were all trying to get broad side for a shot on a light cruiser. Some torpedo bombers and a couple destroyers made the best of it and boom, 3 of 4 dead in a matter of seconds. |

Thanks for the invite code, blackhawk! Much appreciated. Taking a break from WOT but have the same name as on there so feel free to add me - asmx86routine Just got to the Pensacola but kept my Cleveland since it's just a good all around ship and easy credit earner. Also have the Farragut but not sure I'll continue down that line. I like the mobility and the insane torpedo damage but it's so dependent on exact placement and timing that often times you either just get creamed in a single volley or you find yourself at the end of the match without having done much. I think in a platoon/division it would be more fun. About 4k xp from the Fuso as well. The BB line is decent and I can't wait to see the US ships come out. So far I think Cruisers are my favorite line but I still have yet to try carriers since it reminds me of arty in WoT and the gameplay just doesn't really appeal to me. I like brawling, maneuvering, and getting stuck on rocks too much. Good to see you |

So it's just like WoT then, where every tech tree branch has a couple turds hanging from it that you have to work through to get to the good stuff.

Also why the fuck do my torp bombers always go out of their way to do head on attacks... I wondered the same thing. They do it because they basically fly straight to the waypoint you set for them when you attacked that ship. Chances are the heading changed at some point. What you can do is zoom into the map, and then you can drag the attack point around the circle. This will show you the green cone that shows the spread of your torpedos. You can drag it around to get a more broadside spread right up until the planes say they are attacking target. Last night I found it effective to attack BB's with 2 squadrons of bombers. One from each side. That way if he turns to evade your first round of torpedos you have a 2nd coming in as well and he's basically FUBAR. Will try to get a screen shot. Added some screen shots. Initial point of aim 
Dragging the point of aim around the circle to get a broad side spread. Note I am trying to attack from both sides.

When you select the squadron and then click your target there is a circle that surrounds it with a gray cone to show the angle your planes will attack from. You can move the "cone" around to any point of the circle to have them approach from that side. |

You can run aground in the middle of the ocean without any land/mountains nearby. I got hung up on something last night, took me almost 4 minutes to break free and once I did break free and turn to head in another direction, I started receiving a collision warning, even though there was nothing but open water in front of me. The guy who dive bombed me for 70% of my health sure must have been happy though as I literally was a sitting duck.

Just because you gunner is looking at a target doesn't mean the guy steering the ship is completely oblivious to terrain. Got hit for 39,400 damage in one salvo just now in my Tier 4 Japanese battleship. Went from nearly full HP to sunk instantly. |

Been playing the Langley in Co-op mode for the last two days and just can't seem to make it click. If I pay attention to the planes, the ship gets shot up and if I pay attention to the ship, the planes get shot up. I guess I need to learn to walk and chew gum at the same time.

Offhand, it was a map where I spawned in the southeast, went north along the, is it the 0 line?, and about 1/2 way up the map on the next line to the left, the 9 line?, there is a long vertical island/mountain that extends north-south for maybe 2 or 3 grid squares. It was right to the south/southeast of that island where this happened. I remember someone mentioning that it was a popular route for ships to come down if they spawned in the north. Maybe that rings a bell. Is there any website that shows the different WOW maps? I'd be able to pick it out. |

Oh, so This! I'm a old guy, and my lightning reflexes these days are more nightlight reflexes. I get stuck in and then ambushed from the rear (as has happened more than once) I sometimes don't have time to go back to over the shoulder view, what with ducking and dodging incoming fire and shooting, and it isn't difficult to find that I've gone from being safely within the battle space to being strung on the map border like a crappie on a stringer. Got bounced by a BB in one game where I had been successfully dodging his guns and the guns of 2 other cruisers, only to suddenly find myself immobile. Zoomed back to see that I was crossing the T, with the map border bisecting the dead center of my ship. I used the cross to pray for my crew's immortal souls as the BB finished reloading and 1 salvoed me from 80% to broke in half. |

Now I'm no naval vessel expert, but I'm pretty sure there's more than one person firing/navigating these ships IRL. You should suggest it on the forum. I'm sure it will get lots of upvotes.

Here's my gameplay suggestion: There should be a small window in one of the corners for forward view, so you can tell where the hell you are going. +eleventybajillion So fricken frustrating when you're in the middle of a heated fight with multiple targets, maneuvering and firing, only to run head first into something.

Noted But when you are binoced out you do know you can hold the right mouse key and you will zoom back out to see where you are going? Let the mouse key go and you snap right back into binoc mode |

Have clans been added yet? Do not quote me on this but I do not think clans will be enabled for Beta. If they do it will be a while. I am not even sure the Jap carriers or the American BBs will be added for beta (the Iowa is bad ass - played it in alpha) and Jap torp bombers are freaking deadly so shoot those bastards down quick as you can. |

Also all out of codes currently.
I asked for more but got no reply today and I leave in about 30 minutes. So nothing until Monday probably - sorry everyone who is waiting! 
I get blocks of 20 and you all gobbled up 80 this week!

Let the mouse key go and you snap right back into binoc mode Here are some other notes. 1. The ships look like RC models, because we are always in a looking down on them mode.... if the POV were lowered, so we are nearer the water, they would look more massive. 2. The capture area needs a louder, and more visually stunning alert. I have lost a couple battles because I didn't notice soon enough that the enemy was capping. |

Let the mouse key go and you snap right back into binoc mode Thanks! Yep, I use that often. I also started using ctrl+x to lock guns, which is very helpful so you can zoom in without moving the guns. Thanks again for the invite code! Looking forward to seeing the game progress. |

As with WOT, it sure would be nice if there were an "Instructions Manual" that had all this good information for us to study and learn. |

That would be nice when you are in binoc mode. Just because you gunner is looking at a target doesn't mean the guy steering the ship is completely oblivious to terrain. Got hit for 39,400 damage in one salvo just now in my Tier 4 Japanese battleship. Went from nearly full HP to sunk instantly. Quote HistoryQuoted:

When in binoc mode, right click occasionally to go back out to the wider field of view. Then let go of right click, and you're back on target via binocs. |

Made Rank 5 last night before I fell asleep...the Phoenix class cruisers are a lot of fun. Much faster and almost as well armed as the St. Louis class, with more range. The extra speed is nice for bugging out, but it can get you into trouble by being too aggressive early on...a fault of mine. Haven't played yet today (soon!) but I'll started working the IJN line next...time to see what driving a BB is like.

We really NEED a way to get more slots. I like switching back and forth between ships, so I don't really want to sell any yet, but I'm left with no room to climb the Japanese ladder.

YEP! We got steamrolled! btw here is the beer tap they installed this week in the employees lounge - you can bang down a glass during work hours.

Been playing the Langley in Co-op mode for the last two days and just can't seem to make it click. If I pay attention to the planes, the ship gets shot up and if I pay attention to the ship, the planes get shot up. I guess I need to learn to walk and chew gum at the same time. Far from an expert here, but this is what I've been doing with good success. 2 Squads of Torpedo planes, 1 Fighter. Use the fighters to escort your bombers. Have the fighters peel off if you enemy bombers nearby. When torpedo planes are reloading on your deck use fighters for air cover for your ship. Blackhawk...nice to see you in game bud. Sucks we got absolutely steamrolled 1000 - 73 in that match. Been my typical match recently..... YEP!

Guns & Oil Very cool! Also nice they treat you as adults. There is a lot of talk these days about a more "relaxed" office environment as a way to help deal with stress. Studies have shown that when folks have access to snacks, drinks (soft and perhaps alcohol), and some areas to relax, they are typically a bit more productive and also tend to put in more "discressionary" effort. |
