Battleship, cruiser or destroyer?

Battleship, cruiser or destroyer?

i dont care about your ships gender, fuck off tranny

FPBP

Flattleships

SS > CV > DD > CA > CL > BB

DE actually

tfw been playing for a while but got less tan 5 DE.

They must hate me.

How off is that milk?

milk

Not "It's fresh from the teat" or something similar

One fucking job retard.

I choose aircraft carrier.

I'm a cruiser guy

That’s not how it works in the real navy though? Destroyers have the role of destroying any class of ships.

Cruisers are just bigger destroyers with more weapons

CLAA enjoyer here. Fuck you, and fuck your planes.

My wife is a cruiser.

Aircraft carrier

They all look the same to me

surface to surface combat died because of carriers

plane to plane combat will die off because planes turn into glorified drone carriers

ground combatant to ground combatant will die off because humans turn into drone carriers

fuck this gay world

We need to go back.

DDs are retards who suicide into the cap in the first 30 seconds and immediately give your team a gigantic vision disadvantage.
BBs are fucking cowards who are afraid of their precious ship’s paint getting scratched and never push or play the objective.
Cruisers are retards who don’t know how to position and then die when someone sneezes at them.
Except when they’re on the other team, and suddenly learn how to play.
But at least they’re not CViggers.

battlecruiser

I modestly enjoy space games but legitimately have no idea what the difference between these ships is.

No subs?

Destroyers or light cruisers.

Let me torp unsuspecting assholes, or light them on fire with the Atlanta, or give me death

I don't get it.

kys

and what kind of admiral's flagship is a destroyer

boats fighting boats

I'll take the submarine.

Yes

what does this say about you as a person

Cruisers

rocket destroyers

Battlesub

I'm the gunboat now

DDs are retards who suicide into the cap in the first 30 seconds and immediately give your team a gigantic vision disadvantage.

This. They're "I'm just as good as a BB watch me reenact Samar" to a man.

BBs are fucking cowards who are afraid of their precious ship’s paint getting scratched and never push or play the objective.

But also this, BBs see their max range and decide to play like WoT artillery forgetting that they are meant to push the front line and slap destroyers' shit.

Is that a fucking plane on the back?

Except you got Battlecruisers like the Kronstadt which can do both, with neither of the disadvantages and all of the advantages

Surcouf

What's next, I-400 submarine aircraft carrier?

Yes. Because frogs.
We can only hope...

Submarines be like

"fr fr ima no-cap that bb"

emerges to tap their stern

scratches the paint because they're hitting with a 75mm gun since this is a WWII game and all they have is guns

dies

heavy freighter probably doesnt have as many weapons as a frigate

since this is a WWII game and all they have is guns

do you think submarine launched torpedoes are a post war invention?

>scratches the paint because they're hitting with a 75mm gun since this is a WWII game

...do you not know what torpedos are?

A fleet of USVs

Submarine

i-401 is my wife

what's the difference between the 3?

Gundams never ever

Destroyers sound coolest and I have no real clue about naval tactics.

Frigates: small ships designed for convoy escort or anti-submarine warfare duties. Very lightly armed and not particularly fast.
Destroyers: originally known as "motor torpedo boat destroyers", small, lightly armed ships designed for the task of protecting capital ships from the small, fast, torpedo armed motor boats that came into being at the turn of the 20th century. Originally only a few hundred tons themselves, they grew in size and scope and eventually mounted torpedoes of their own to attack enemy capital ships and act as scouts and screens for the battle line.
Cruisers: the smallest ship nominally capable of long range independent operations. Moderately armed and armoured, sometimes armed with torpedoes but typically not. Separated by the Washington and London naval treaties into "light" and "heavy" cruisers, with the distinction being one of gun caliber. "Light" cruisers were armed with no greater than 6 inch guns, while "heavy" cruisers were armed with 8 inch guns. Cruisers were the primary screening and scouting element of any fleet
Battleships: the most heavily armed and armoured ships in the fleet, capital ships and the core of the battle line. Not just mounting the largest guns in the fleet, but would often have secondary batteries as potent or even greater than most light cruisers. Almost always operated with escorts of cruisers and destroyers.
Battlecruisers: A mix of a cruiser and battleships that sacrificed armour for mobility. The idea battlecruiser has guns large enough to easily and quickly dispatch anything smaller than itself, but the speed to run away from anything with heavier guns than itself Envisioned to sweep aside the enemy fleets screen, thereby denying them scouting and protection from your own fleets destroyers and cruisers. Quickly fell out of favour as battleships became as fast or faster than them while still having the armour to resist their guns.

Destroyers are small, fast, and deal incredible damage while being stealthy as hell as well as being the "scouts" for the fleet.

Cruisers are pretty much support ships that can slap fairly hard, but can't do much beyond that and taking down aircraft.

Battleships are the "front line" of any fleet with the power and armor to take anything down with them, but they're slow in speed and cannon turning speed. They require scouts to do their job effectively

Battleship is like the big guy at a bar who moves a little slow but hits real hard.
Cruisers are the smaller, somewhat faster guy who's still pretty jacked and can still hit relatively hard.
Destroyers are like wasps. Capable of doing some damage, but excel in greater numbers or when supporting a larger ship.

None of this is true

future combat will just be robot wars but without Craig Charles announcing

Lame, we should divert into the takeshis castle timeline.

You just build as many battleships as your ports can support and fill out the rest with cruiser spam.

Whoops the enemy just unlocked aircraft carrier tech and now you auto lose

iowa my beloved

Tech tree doesn't go that far.

THE ONSLAUGHT

ground combatant to ground combatant will die off

You're more than 500 years too late for that. Dropping grenades and launching suicide drones, not even mentioning arty, mortars and everything else inbetween isn't that much different to shooting the guy with a matchlock as opposed to crushing the guy's skull with your mace which you may consider manly or honourable. That said, without boots on the ground you haven't captured shit, and to put those boots on the ground you gotta kill the man trying to kill your men, wherever he may be - in a ditch on the opposite side of the field or in a protected bunker 10s or 100s of kilometers away.

world of warships players trying to talk about ships

How do I make Legions work? I love the concept of Battle Carriers but they just melt when fight doomstacks of the AI robot ships

FINALLY someone with taste, CV are the best type of warships. They are impressive on all fronts, they are cool, they have cool small planes that kill big boats, they have super duper cool engineering unde the hood, they are big, they are cool to look at, they have a lot of history, they are the flagship of a formation and they are really cool .
Kneel and know your place other ships big boy CL is coming through

they're shit to look at. the planes are great but the ship is kind of retarded

WoWS is a game based around Information (e.g. vision) Control and Area Control.
Destroyers are fast and stealthy which gives them good information control, but they have low HP, poor armor, and relatively ineffective guns making them poor at holding areas and they will quickly get run over by a pushing team if they try and hold caps without support, but the threat of torpedoes make them okay at area denial.
Cruisers have okay information control with medium stealth and speed which is supplemented by utility tools like Radar and Hydro letting them spot torpedoes from further out. They have okay area control with better armor and HP than Destroyers and better guns, and between combinations of their torpedoes and high DPM guns good at making areas painful to take.
Battleships have poor information control as they’re slow and can be seen from large distances away, but have good area control with their thick armor and large HP pools, and their guns are the largest and most threatening capable of causing huge damage spikes to everything else, but they’re slow to reload and slow to turn.
There was a sort of Destroyer beats Battleship beats Cruiser beats Destroyer triangle built into the mechanics of WoWS but years of power/feature creep makes this hold less true before even considering CVs or s*bs (the things that ruined WoWS the most)
DDs typically have a larger impact on your team’s performance than the other two because having better vision than the other team makes it much easier to set up and pin down the other team with crossfire and WoWS is a game where momentum is hard to recover once you have a large ship count disadvantage.

shield shunt
reinforced bulkheads
elite combat endurance
double mjolnirs
xyphoses for pd
onslaughts are still better

How is that retarded?
They excell when it comes to supporting the whole fleet

I'm talking about visually. the only cool thing to look at is the planes on deck

SoTL
retvrn to vvood

Saggy tits, what does it have to do with subs?

first rates aren't comfy

Can we compromise?

Oh yeah, you are right.
They are just a slab of steel with no real curves. But they are still pretty cool right.... A ship doesn't need that many curves to be cool and interesting, r-right?

sorry anon. carrier planes are sweet though

you two just lack taste

it looks dumb

does this game have a campaign yet or is it just random scenarios?

It's like a crocodile

cruiser enjoyer

autists be like - YOOO THIS GAMEPLAY IS FIRE

it actually is

Play BB

Rush objective

Instantly die to the invisible NiDDer torpedoes

Destroyer, small maneuverable ships with small guns but lot of torpedoes. Very squishy but also crucial for scouting, torpedo salvoes can deny an area or outright delete unsuspecting ships.
Cruiser, medium sized ships with some quite large differences in behavior depending on the ship, smaller cruisers feel like a big destroyer and big cruisers feel like a small battleship. Usually comes with potent anti-air.
Battleship, large ships with the largest guns, usually slow (higher tier battleships are also fast, but still not maneuverable due to size). The guns can deal some devastating salvoes, capable of one shotting other ships (especially cruisers), but they take ~30 seconds to reload and turrets rotate slowly, if you get caught in the wrong place you can't defend yourself, so positioning is very important for them, they can't just park in the middle of the map and shoot, despite high hp and armor.

NIDDer

not baDDies

Carrier.

We British were still doing Bayonet charges in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, it won't ever go away that type of combat because at the start of a war you have all of these high tech systems, but they are finite and you will soon run out in a protracted conflict/ war. You'll deplete your missiles, your fuel, your artillery and then it's back to men on the ground fighting other men.
It's simply more cost effective to have men killing other men and it always will be.

You don't. They're not very good. Jack of all trades and master of none that'll get assraped head on by any more specialized ship. Remoras are better in every way and less DP.

Random official scenarios
Linear campaign from workshop
Dynamic campaign - WIP

But I don't really care about these, because they have to fix the brain-dead AI first to make it work.

2025

people still cry about subs

Lmao, they are hands down the weakest class, the only thing they were good at is shotgunning and that's been "fixed"

They're not strong, they are annoying to play against.

carrier before they ruined it. sub if i was forced to play again.

Excellent effort post

set a course

aircraft carrier because it looks cool

missile frigate

I love battlecruisers.

CV's your ass

nothing personal nigga

One game my side got completely fucked. I ended up stalking one of the BB's and sunk it from full health with torps on my Cossack. Shit was funny as fuck

Imagine getting assigned to the Bungo

HEY!

What game?

Planes are still the most OP warmachines man has created, but you need to maintain a massive level of superiority over your opponent. When neither side can do so, it returns to a mid-1800s meatgrinder where maneuvers are costly and ineffective.

Poi spams and burning love were the days, when CV actually require skills to play with those sick X drops, even more fun when they run out of planes and start ramming.

Why does her game fade into obscurity? People only talk about Azur Lane nowadays.

Only two battle cruisers survived WWII.

Web browser game, it don't even works correctly in some web browsers thanks to that manifest 3 shit google did.
A legit android version with 3d models like the arcade would be amazing but so far all we got is a fan made version which is just the web browser version which works really good though but still.

Submarines. Literally responsible for nearly 60% of all Japanese Navy losses during WWII. Picture related, USS Flasher from Azur Lane

only two battleships survived to the 21st century, both of which are WW2 veterans.

I don't get it.

low testosterone males, ignore them.

What's there to get? Navy's gay, ships are gay, you're probably gay too if you can't figure that out. Literally the most boring of the combat trifecta
That's some wild projection

I have her in WoWS. Great ship.

Did you forget someone?

For me, it's New Jersey.

WoWS really need a good competitor so WG would start improve the game.

I meant mothballed ships that could theoretically be put back on the register. the Texas, Alabama, and especially Mikasa could never. otherwise might as well consider the Constitution a viable combat ship

Destroyers - JS
Cruisers - JK
Battleships - JD

You should be able to answer this

thinner turrets than belt

no steering gear protection

80 main rpg

4" armor on 5" secondaries

didn't even balance the secondaries

no DP guns

only 8 LAA

what the FUCK are you doing
