You should always fire AP against other cruisers and even at BBs at extreme or very short ranges. The japanese 203mm guns have pretty good penetration.
The air utility thing means the ship utilities dual purpose armaments, meaning the secondary guns can be used to shoot at aircraft as well as AA guns I think.
Just played some games in wow and I just love it Only a few questions: When do you need to use ap and when he? And how do you sail in the map if you dont wanna get hit to often or die early but still can get some nice shots? What is the tactic for that?
Baron I love playing with topes but also really wanna play the Cleveland for the fast firing guns. Is it worth grinding it or go with the Japanese Cruiser tech tree instead? Thanks a lot and I love your videos.
Hi Baron. I was just wondering how I get into the sort of servers on War Thunder that you are in like "Jets vs B-17s" or something like that. I understand if I can't get into them as I have the Playstation 4 version of War Thunder.
Once I was in the Kongo battlecruiser and 4 torps headed my way, and all of them were gonna hit and i was gonna be doomed... but literally 1 meter away from my port side they all disappeared. Luckiest game ever.
Is there anyone here that can help me with this dilema? : How do I play a destroyer in such way that I do not die as soon as I get spotted and do something useful for my team, meaning that I have to get in my fkin 5 km torpedo range (tier 4) and get spotted even with my smokescreen up and die. Everyone is sooo slow and fights from 8-10 km away, while I am so fast and can only launch torpedoes in less that 5km range from my target :(
Flaviu Crystian For American low tier destroyers, your torps are useful in only 2 scenarios: 1. Torpedo trap - Hide behind an island or a channel near a cap point and wait for an enemy ship to start down the channel. Fire your torpedos at such a time where they either beach or go too wide into the sea and get hit anyway with the first salvo, then fire slightly behind with the second salvo to hit them when they beach or turn away. If they don't see it coming, they are more or less instantly dead. If you miss, engine boost and smoke screen and GTFO. Do not get too far ahead of your team doing this. With a tight spread, you would be firing the second spread with the full width if your torpedo aiming indicator outside of the white target marker. With wide spread, you will fire the second spread half width behind the white target marker. 2. Hitting distracted BBs - Approach an enemy battleship that is firing at other enemies (preferably another BB at long range). A lot of the time they won't even notice. If there are ANY cruisers or destroyers near a distracted BB, you will die before you get there, so just stay patient and stay away until the time to strike comes. On approach, do NOT fire your guns at them. They will immediately notice if you shoot them. Fire your torps at extremely close range (ideally 2-3km) and then GTFO. Otherwise, you are a small, stealthy gunboat that excels at destroying enemy destroyers. Odd, eh?
Flaviu Crystian japanese destroyers will have better torps if torps are what your lookin to do. Its hard to know what advice to give without gameplay footage, but if you find yourself still getting hit hard then maybe your strafing is the issue and you need to work that in more. if not then maybe youre going in too far and just getting focused which means you need to play a bit more of a hit and run strategy using islands to get out of incoming fire after using torps/guns. It seems to me that destroyers dont generally have the gun power to get a lot of damage done with AP rounds and should instead be focusing on getting fires started with HE rounds, so as far as that goes your usefulness on the team isnt in dealing the most single hits of damage but getting other ships to use up repairs and dealing constant fire damage, which in many cases might feel like youre not getting a lot done because your teammates might be getting the final blows often, but in the long run that constant chip damage from fire goes a long way if youre getting many ships with it. The fire strategy is more of a support role on the team rather then heavy damage.
Flaviu Crystian Step 1. Hide behind an island. Step 2. Wait for the enemy to come along. Step 3. FIRE!!! (You'll know when.) Step 4. Repeat or GTFO depending on the situation.
can I use this ship to research the battleship tech tree in order to unlock the Yamato faster? i dont understand XP sistem with premium ships :/ please help
Premium Ships accumulate 'Free XP'. Which actually isn't free, seeing as how you have to use Gold/Doubloons/whatever-Money-Type-Currency-it-is in order to even get it 'off' the ship.
Baron, can you PLEASE PLease explain the history behind each ship you play, so people don't ask dumb questions or tell people wrong facts. It's driving me loco.
Should've bought it when it was still in the premie store Anyway Baron, when it comes to CA/CL... They're opportunistic torpedo delivery system. You should rely on your guns more
Aviation lord the term RNG stands for random number generator, which means the outcome of something can be random. RN Jesus is just a play on the term.
This is the reason I can't get into WG games. If i lose it's cause of bad RNG. I I win it's cause of good RNG. I don't feel like I am really doing anything.
Daily Drives its not crap, armor just works now. at max range especially with cruisers you should always shoot AP since the shots gonna land on the wooden deck and penetrate... HE gives you nice fires and pissed off players but in the end game you get less damage. in the end know your target and know where to aim... BB from close range use HE and from long range use AP, CA/CL from any range use AP and DD always get the HE treatment. (talking about driving the cruisers)
i just got world of warships and i try to get in and it says error connecting to server and incorrect email or password when i am sure the email and password is correct. tried to different routers and the problem is still happening. does anyone know how to fix this, wows website is no help.
RNGesus who art in Warships random be thy game thy torpedo come thy turn be done on Gaijin as it is in Wargaming, give us this day our daily quest and forgive us our misplays as we forgive those who queus DD against us and lead us not into torpedoes but deliver us from zero for thyne is the random and the broadside, and the torpedoes always yet never Ameno
It's just me, or are you saying Atago like "Katago" or something? images.wikia.com/kancolle/images/2/22/Atago-Introduction.ogg Feels kinda weird watching it with "Katago" :D
"Look at that cluster, you can't miss!" (misses his shots) "Okay, you can miss..."
Is this the same ship class as the tsundere Heavy Cruiser Takao?
i think so not sure tho Google is your best friend!
+Kyle IdontWanttogivemyname Yep. The Atago is the sister ship to Takao
PAN PAKA PAN!!!
i saw that anime :D
yes
You should always fire AP against other cruisers and even at BBs at extreme or very short ranges. The japanese 203mm guns have pretty good penetration.
Schnaqer just in japanese with 203? my american cruisers (low tier) tend to bounce of other cruisers my own tier
Raz0rking yes the Japanese 203s are higher velocity and will citadel BBs and CL/CAs
Alexander Rahl
i'll keep it in mind =)
that zoom in and out at start , to what he was saying was so funny xD
The air utility thing means the ship utilities dual purpose armaments, meaning the secondary guns can be used to shoot at aircraft as well as AA guns I think.
Anyone else having audio stuttering in the game?
CBT ran fine but here the audio stutters and it goes down to 12fps from 70 when there is action
i have it too
***** i have this problem too.....
***** Hard drive problem maybe or driver issue? No probs here.
Sound gets distorted sometimes
***** When to think of it, disable V-sync that caused me sound issues when I first installed the game.
12:03 He's going to make all kinds of SQUIRRELY manuevers...
Amazing that he said that because the one great weakness of a Nagato are squirrels
Squirrels are cute aren't they?
One of my friends killed an Atago with the tier II Japanese destroyer. He was platooned with someone in a Sampson on the "Open Ocean" map.
Just played some games in wow and I just love it
Only a few questions:
When do you need to use ap and when he?
And how do you sail in the map if you dont wanna get hit to often or die early but still can get some nice shots? What is the tactic for that?
"katago" ???
I was smashing my head against my desk everytime he said that XD
Tha1337er It's the Japanese K'tinga.
Tank 1900 actually is just a sister ship of myoko
fuzztsimmers 3 I like Japanese version of Klingon battlecruiser much better.
fuzztsimmers 3 well theyre more like cousins, since Atago is part of the Takao class
Baron I love playing with topes but also really wanna play the Cleveland for the fast firing guns. Is it worth grinding it or go with the Japanese Cruiser tech tree instead? Thanks a lot and I love your videos.
When was this available ? I played during the CBT and i didn't see it in the shop -_- I would have bought it.
Can't wait to play that game on my mac. Do you know when they launch a Mac OS version?
Is there a reason you choose to scroll in to artillery view instead of leaving it zoomed in and switching with left shift?
Finally a Takao class cruiser!! the only ship I looked forward to :)
The "T" ability you have (I forget what its actually called) lets you detect ships that are inside smoke screens
Hi Baron. I was just wondering how I get into the sort of servers on War Thunder that you are in like "Jets vs B-17s" or something like that. I understand if I can't get into them as I have the Playstation 4 version of War Thunder.
love to see u play aoba very underestimated i just got it back after wipe love the gun sounds great vid keep up good work
Remember, you can hover your mouse over your menu items (consumables) and a window will open to give you details of those items.
Hey Baron, a spotter plane increases your guns range and gives you a better angle to fire at
Hey Baron, there are any news about the german ships tree? :o
when you zoom your guns in how do you get the range and time to drop on the left and right. is there a setting
Baron where do you get the aiming assist from ?
Didnt you fire youre torps at many torgets well out of range?
do you change the torpedo spread from narrow to wide?
Torpedoes have a 10km range so you need to fire closer to the enemy to hit with them usually, but can confuse the enemy.
How do I get that timer and distance meter when you are aiming? Just started playing today
Settings, Controls, Check the box that says Alternate Battle Interface Mode at the bottom.
2355blah Thank you!
Could you try out some of the lower tiers? Like 2-4?
Do You perma press ALT? Or how do You have the stats on all ships on all the time?
Oli Oligon It's now a tickbox in the options menu. Escape > Settings > Controls > Alt Battle Interface Mode.
Oli Oligon There is an option in the settings to permanently enable it
It would be cool to have a captain skill that lets your secondary guns to also target torps
what software you use to record the game?
getting bloody damn good mate xx
When buying a premium ship, like your Atago, is the captains skills also full, or do i need to train a captain?
*Late Replies* You still need to train them. 1-3 point bonus depend on your purchase.
+Persistance Lydeccer no bonus, you don't get to choose training bonuses on premium ships
Baron, would be so kind as to do a video on the ship's commander skills?
bought a admiral crate for the recent santas wanted thing.. got this ship.. best 5 bucks spent ever :p second crate was a stack of gamescom 2016 camo
Lol when you said shokaku, I thought you said Chicago, so at the end of the battle I was looking for a Chicago.
you are always doing videos with the big amazing ships in the high tiers. how about something like the chester or chikuma?
Once I was in the Kongo battlecruiser and 4 torps headed my way, and all of them were gonna hit and i was gonna be doomed... but literally 1 meter away from my port side they all disappeared. Luckiest game ever.
I'm buying this ship. 36 knots + long lance torpedoes in confined waters looks cool.
The scout/fighter (at the end) --> no fuel left? !
5:49 cant u spot the fact that ur torp range is many KM shorter than the distance u'r trying to fire them at ?
George State he seems a little rusty on the....most things. :)
I like the sound quality of your videos.
is it just me or do the guns and hit sounds sound waay better then than now?
Is there anyone here that can help me with this dilema? : How do I play a destroyer in such way that I do not die as soon as I get spotted and do something useful for my team, meaning that I have to get in my fkin 5 km torpedo range (tier 4) and get spotted even with my smokescreen up and die.

Can't w8 to get my tier 5 destroyer, 7k xp to go, I hope that one's better.
Flaviu Crystian also the american dds are good at dueling other dds, especially Japanese ones

Wth a new japanese cruiser THE KATAGO!
2:19, funny. the type 93 torpedo does not rest wake.
at 5:49 why you launching torps meanwhile they only got a range of 10km and your locked target is at 14km no chance
Please can you play a Japanese tier 9/10 carrier? Haven't done much carrier gameplay.
Baron could you do a shell advice video?

Ahh this is when you had atago in low tier matches, sadly now we are in mostly t9 10 matches
pan paka pan~
is this game coming out on steam
what does he mean when he says RN Jesus?
Aviation lord the term RNG stands for random number generator, which means the outcome of something can be random. RN Jesus is just a play on the term.
Aviation lord tip in playing wot and wows: pray to him to get your shots on target
Random number generator
This is the reason I can't get into WG games. If i lose it's cause of bad RNG. I I win it's cause of good RNG. I don't feel like I am really doing anything.
Aviation lord RNG (Random Number Generator) RN G-sus
That spotter plane ran out of fuel.
pa paka pan
How come matchmaking always works in your favor...all of my games I end up on the team with inferior/no carriers...
what should i get atago or atlanta?
Takao-class Heavy Cruisers are like one of my favorite... shame that Atago is a premium ship and i wont be getting it, unless i have a money to buy it
I missed the oppurtunity to get an atago though -_- But the atlanta i got a few hours before it was removed =)
how do you remove the hud for screenshot ?
Damm Baron Iwas about to ask what in the world "T" does
Is this game (in its current state) compatible with mac?
can you do more men of war?
baron pls use AP
Lolas Golla AP is pretty crap since the patch.
Daily Drives No, it's really not if you know what you're doing.
Macabe95 how do you use ap and he? Whats the best situation to use both?
Daily Drives AP works perfectly fine, its just at tier 3 and down that its not effective due armor being thicker than the guns penetration.
Daily Drives its not crap, armor just works now. at max range especially with cruisers you should always shoot AP since the shots gonna land on the wooden deck and penetrate...

Feels kinda weird watching it with "Katago" :D
its so fucking hard playing this game, getting matched with high tier american and japanese battleships with my little wickes
A CV getting himself killed so early in the match. I would rage so much.
Do t95 vs maus in finland in the ice!!!
Would love to see a Kongo with my atago nowadays
Did the atago exist irl?
Poop cool yes
Yes it's a takao class heavy cruiser
.... You do realize ALL THESE SHIPS WERE REAL!!!
RaythMercury not all the ships int he game were real
Calm Dwelling Which were not?
pan paka pan!
More Atago WorK, thats a nice boat.
Imagine if WORLD OF WARSHIPS had submarines damn it would be like a NAVY version of the tank destroyer
***** Could you play the Murmansk? Formerly the USS Milaukee, reppin Wisconsin and Mother Russia.
great reviews
Baron you should realy pay attention of your torpedo range and ho far away your target is.
Can I not get the atago already?
I miss this version of Brothers.
