I don't think I remember Gaede having overpen issues with the old 150s, but I may be wrong, wasn't a ship I played a lot. The 128s are definitely better in the end, even though not historically accurate.

I haven't seen overpens, but haven't also tested enough with APCS+ against DDs. Used not to be an issue with the old line, but the Elbing one definitely has that, to the point that the higher tiers are more useful against CLs than DDs

Got the ship that way as well. It was the last PC (may) Alas there was to much going on in RL here to get the camo (ran out of time), but at least the ship is in port.

same here man

The German special camos are mostly pretty decent-looking imo

@@FunandGameswithTerry the Odin anime camo is horrendous to look at though

@@gleamingcolt To be fair, i can’t think of many anime camos that aren’t… 😂

That's been an issue for a long time, and it used to make playing DDs at quiet hours rather difficult, because bots could spot you through smoke, magically dance around your torps, and have random ammo loadout, so you never knew when a BB was having the HE in. Now, there are Colombos out there...

Same with cruisers. "HE Nürnberg" is kinda a meme for me by now, as in, it's a surefire indicator that the player doesn't pose a threat.

I'll have to try that, heard it a couple of times. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks!

Oooh, that makes sense, I never thought of that! My guess was that the bots just have 100% torp visibility, and simply dodge when they "see" them coming, but could be that they get triggered by being targeted.

@@FunandGameswithTerry I find they are much more dodgy with auto aim on. I also turn off auto aim when desiring better concealment against human players. If they have six sense running they will be notified if you lock onto them. The smart ones know how to use this. Oh, one more thing, I think bot carriers are triggered to move by proximity rather than taking damage. The proximity seems to be ship dependent. This is why in certain situations it is better to shoot/launch torps at range rather than charging in.

​@@ignatius_rage Hi! How does one disable the auto aiming? I tried to dig up information on that topic but can't find any. Thanks in advance!

​@@mansan8058you can enable a HUD button to toggle it inside the game's options/settings.

@@mansan8058 1. Left side of screen in scrolling menu pull down to the very bottom where there is a sprocket symbol and select it. 2. Navigate to controls on the submenus at the top of the screen. 3.Find the button titled “auto lock” at bottom center of the screen. 4. Select “with button” in the menu next to the auto lock button. 5. This will add a button to your control screen in game which toggles auto aim on and off.

You can get the close quarters combat expert captain skill, that will help with dispersion, but you have to in turn not take demo expert, which is generally a pretty good skill to have on most BBs that aren't German. On German BBs, you can also get the secondary module in slot 1 which will help, too. So I'd say it really depends on what you're sailing, and if it's worth taking the captain skill over demo expert.

Certainly. I wouldn't be taking on a Makarov, let alone two, in anything else. It's not just the guns, it's the good combo with manoeuvrability as well.

@@FunandGameswithTerry absolutely correct but they the germans always have a trick up their sleeve in emergencies

Just like Gaede, the mid-tier German DDs are fun (so are the top tier ones, but people get better at dealing with them) 😂

@@FunandGameswithTerry yeah! Im just short of finishing Z46 grind. I'ts much more reliant on good teams in higher tiers, since players make fewer mistakes. Still like it a lot, and looking forward to finalen get me a Z52

I've heard that a couple of times reported since the last update. My general advice would be to make sure you have enough space on your device - the game uses about 4GB on mine after unpacking, so you should probably have at least that much free. If the update doesn't work, try doing a clean uninstall and reinstall, and if that doesn't help either, your best bet is going to be to contact support (see wowsblitz.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360012699840-I-am-stuck-on-the-loading-screen)

Alas, that has been an issue on a lot of devices lately (mine for almost a year now) I haven't found a solution yet. (apart from copying the data directory from another device and do without most images)
