Biggest Guns in WoWS - World of Warships

  • Satsuma is Japanese super BB with highest caliber guns in the game. It has 8 guns of 510mm which are capable of murdering just about anything they come across, if the RNG does NOT screw you over. A match just before this one I had like a million hits and only 145k dmg because every single shell overpenned.
    It was absolutely soul crushing to watch it happen volley after volley but this match the guns actually worked.
    Enjoy and have fun watching ;)

This and HP pools (great, you flanked your enemy. You get one extra shot, so when you both start at 2400 hp you end up with 400 left at the end (assuming 400 per shot and nobody near), just to get killed by one shot from now on.

    I watched this video twice, and focused on the mini map on the second viewing to see how the other flank collapsed so quickly. Alaska, Shima and Sherman all rushed into C cap... Sherman died in the cap immediately to Yugumo torps....then Shima somehow gor gunned down in the cap by Yamgiri (no radar, how was he spotted?) and then Alaska was alone , in the cap and died to Patrie, which left Bourgogne all alone against 4 red ships. As for mid cap, Humphreys was alone and had no help, and Hanover could have easily put hydro on B cap to help Humphreys, instead Hannover sat behind an island near spawn. Humphreys then sailed into enemy spawn with no exit path and got pinched and killed by Conde, yes he helped spot the CV, but he should have realized how important it was for him to stay alive. Why two destroyers sailed immediately into C cap was first mistake, Alaska should never have been so far in the cap to begin was second mistake, and Hannover needed to push up mid and create a crossfire and tank. I would ask all of you to watch this again, and ask yourself if this is how you play, then dont be surprised when you lose by steamroll.

      Big guns are supposed to chunk, not waste all their potential damage into low HP ships. Other ships can do it.
      Of course it's mostly in theory, with teammates lacking braincells, you have to do everything, but expecting a Yamato-class to do everything is the same as expecting all of your DDs to survive more than 3 minutes.
      In the end if the whole team was unable to finish more than one ship, it's certainly not a single player's fault.

      Well the super ships were mainly added as a credit sink and not designed to make money. For them, you basically play your premiums to make enough money to have a few fun rounds in your supers, rinse and repeat. T10 used to be the same way back in the day. Unless you had an above average match and/or stacked the crap out of special flags (econ bonuses now), you would bleed credits.

    I'm not a great player, I'm really not. My win rate is something like .40 or maybe .45. But the RNG makes no sense to me. I'll angle and take a citadel. But I can sail broadside, and tank shells, or even ricochet them. I've broadsided cruisers at sub 5k and missed every shell by a km, or if they hit, just get overpens despite it being a perfect waterline volley.
    I know I can play a lot better than I do, but it doesn't seem to be worth bothering with, because the RNG just nullifies any attempts to play "by the rules".

      Some ships have a super-power or gimmick related to F key that you can charge by doing some actions in the match, usually superships and the South American cruisers have it. In satsuma its supposed to give godlike accuracy for like 24s or so. The meter charges by landing shells near targets.

      Elaborate why that would have ever made more sense instead of what was played?
      Every time a DD or Cruiser could have been shot at (spotted long enough and LOS/LOF) they were facing towards or away from Flambass.
      And those moments were sparse in the match, the DDs on his flank nevery showed themselves long enough, the single CL on his flank kept himself out of the Satsumas guns and later the Roon was also coming towards him long range, which also wasn't a viable target.
      You rather want him to shoot 4-8 Salvos for a combined Damage of 0-15000 on nimble targets that have hands (can play) instead of doing potentially 23k with each of those.

    Super ships are so boring, i play weaker ships on purpose to make it more tasty when i kill op ships, there is nothing like open water 1 v 1 a Montty with a Colbert and winning, this game is shit, after 7 years of playing i have to find ways to make my own fun, +2 mm, subs, CVs, super ships, super Cvs, WG, all this things do their best to ruin the fun of this game.

      unfortunately thats the only consistent way to farm damage now, since tanking is considered “throwing” by wg staff (literally, they said it on a stream 😂) they made absolutely brick walls in submarines that snake everyone scared to push now, especially the Gato. got 60k dev struck full hp by one tonight, undetected at 3km, unbelievable

There were alot of CC'ers with games Ive enjoyed over the years, but If I have no intention or care to play a game, I'm def not going to consume any content about it. Thats just me I guess

    I have played this game consistently for 7 years. Somewhre around middle of third year, i discovered some admins clicking themselves off my blacklist. Since then i´ve noticed patterns of behaviour regarind admins monitoring and intervening in ships in real time. It is the disguting behaviour of casions belonging to the sicilian maffia back in the 50´s. I have never paid for aanythig, and never will. That´s why i still play it but not seriously. This game is rigged big time.
