Downloaded this last week and played over the weekend. Must say i'm impressed about the playability, very easy to get on with.
Quite good fun so far, have only just got up to the T2 cruisers, i suspect i will spend quite some time on this, makes a good change from WOT.
Is gun accuracy badly affected by your speed and direction changes, or is the game not that smart yet?

Accuracy is supposedly affected by speed, but to be honest I don't think it makes much of a difference as the spread of shells from the salvo is generally quite big. You should be changing your speed fairly regularly anyway to throw off the enemy's aim, especially torpedoes.
edit - and just to prove what happens when you don't dodge around, here's me getting destroyed by torpedoes, saw them way too late to do anything about it!

I am officially a noob at this game. 47.5% WR and falling. Despite this I am still enjoying this game, and having such a rubbish Win Rate means I don't stress over the derps as I really have nothing to lose.
Despite the pathetic Win Rate I am not playing badly. Kill to death ratio is 2.01 so I am taking 2 with me each time I die. The problem is, in this game I can't carry the fail teams. Maybe I just suck too much to figure out how to carry.
If you look at my Loss Rate instead of my win rate things look a little rosier. I have only lost 43% of my games.
The only thing that truely frustrates me in this game is the number of draws. 9% draw rate is disgusting. Almost every single battle I have in standard mode ends in a draw and I reckon that mode is severely flawed. WG need to do something to that battle mode to address the excessive number of draws. The battles are long enough without having 20 minutes wasted in an undecisive battle.
Fix this WG!

A lot of people have complained about the number of draws in standard battle mode. The counter is that there are two ways to win; kill all the enemy ships or cap the enemy base. Draws are often the result of the teams concentrating on trying to kill each other, and finding themselves too far away from the base to cap it when they realise the time is running out. Occasionally you do have battles where both teams put up good fights and a draw is actually a fair result, but those don't happen often.
That argument doesn't hold up as often it is a last carrier hiding God knows where and his bombers reset the cap. The fact is that the majority of Standard mode games end in a draw and that means it is flawed.
Yes the odd draw is fine and often justified but a 50 or 60% draw rate on a game mode means something is wrong. And it is as much as 50% or more for me personally on that mode.
They need to add a futher win condition such as most ships left or a similar points system to the other game modes. It shouldn't be that hard to do. But these endless draws are close to being a deal breaker for me.

That's a good win rate for this this game. Honestly.Despite the pathetic Win Rate I am not playing badly. Kill to death ratio is 2.01 so I am taking 2 with me each time I die. The problem is, in this game I can't carry the fail teams. Maybe I just suck too much to figure out how to carry.

It's harder to carry than with WoT, where 47% is the average win rate.

If more than 50% of your standard battles are ending in a draw, which is what you are saying, then I would suggest that you are doing something wrong. My draw rate in standard battles is nowhere near that sort of level.DIW35 said:

I would agree with this if it was just me. But I watch a lot of Twitch streamers and they are having the same problem. Sidestrafe, Braincage, Angerbeard, FerdinandNL, who are all very good players, are experiencing an inordinate amount of draws on standard mode.I admit that I am not that good at the game, probably too passive in BBs and such. But the problem I keep running up against is a solitary DD or CV at the end which just can't be located. It isn't that easy to get to the enemy cap and hold it long enough in standard mode to cap it out without getting reset. If that last CV or DD decides to force the draw at the end, it is way too easy to do so.
That said I am really open to suggestions as to how to avoid the almost enevidable draw. All advice gratefully received.
I am VonGenschlerc on the WoWs EU server for anyone who cares about my fail stats.
If you are left against a solitary ship that is intent on hiding, the only way to draw them out is to start capping. Obviously this is not so easy if it's a CV as he can just send his planes. but if you still have a fast ship on your team, use the CV aircraft to try and work out where heis.
Patch 0.5 is out and the game is now officially out of beta.
There's also a Ranked Battles mode which matches players of similar ability.

king hate carriers!
At least it is some consolation that they fixed the matchmaking so each team gets exactly the same number and tier of carrier which levels the playing field somewhat. Before that it was common for one team to get a carrier and the other team didn't which was tantamount to an automatic loss for the team without.
I am at tier 6 and it isn't so bad. I either take my Cleveland and reap the tears of the carriers, or else I try to stick close to AA support and hope to evade any bombers that look my way.
It looks a lot trickier at the higher tiers however. AA seems a lot less effective. You just have to hope your carrier driver is better than their carrier driver.

Lot of people complaining at how crap the new German cruisers are. Typical Russian developers bias mirroring what they did with a lot of the German tanks in WoT.
Wait until the Brit ships come out, they will be slow with pea shooter guns and sink at the 1st sight of a shipGassing Station | Video Games | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
