Well, it sucks that the traditional forums are going to end. Even if I didn't post in here super often in the more recent times (as I was a fairly frequent poster when I started playing AL), it's been enjoyable just reading what everyone else had to say and was discussing. And while I'm a fan of discord as a program, it's not going to be quite the same since not everyone from here will migrate over. It's been fun here, and I wish good luck to all of you who I might not see anymore after the forums close.

I know I've never participated in this thread, but I'm curious, with the impending closure of the forums, was anyone from this thread going to recreate it on the discord server? I also play Genshin and wouldn'tind seeing it being discussed over there like Azur Lane (which is the off-topic thread I was most active in).

I know. I just have to join the server and jump through all their hoops when you do join. But I'll do that sometime later today I guess.

How do you use smoke on the new CV?
GhostSwordsman replied to IfYouSeeKhaos's topic in General Game Discussion
Sure, but I also don't follow the line of "logic" that is, "Let's give the stealthiest carrier line a consumable that makes them even harder to spot" Meanwhile, USN carriers have always been visible from the moon, and could actually make use of a smoke screen consumable for not only their own team but also themselves. -

GhostSwordsman replied to IfYouSeeKhaos's topic in General Game Discussion
This feels so bass ackwards since there's one fairly well known historical photo of Langley having a smoke screen spread around it by two sea-planes. In fact, most of the photos I can find with a quick google search of carriers being concealed by a smoke screen are USN carriers. I don't see anything to even suggest that the IJN attempted to lay a smoke screen with aircraft (though I don't doubt that they used their destroyers to lay smoke for carriers). -
I have acquired Bocchi the Battleshipcarrier

Not entirely correct. The very first wave was offered in a bundle and as individual purchases. And if I'm remembering correctly, the first wave, at least, was offered as individual purchases again when the second wave was released. I don't recall if the second wave got sold individually or if they were just bundled.
-
Probably not going to happen since it hasn't come back since the rerun of the first wave captains with the second wave. But, I have heard that the new crate mechanics make it so captains you don't have will drop before it starts dropping duplicates.

Salem getting a cit on a North Carolina?
GhostSwordsman replied to Sabot_100's topic in General Game Discussion
Yeah. The US BB is, I believe, literally the oldest line in the game. It's almost no wonder that the modeling is, for lack of a better term, poor. -

GhostSwordsman replied to Sabot_100's topic in General Game Discussion
North Carolina has long had an issue with her model, where at two very specific spots on the stern (at least, can't remember if there's also two spots at the front of her citadel), her citadel hitbox pokes outside her hull model. This makes it possible for ships to citadel her with calibers and at angles and ranges where it shouldn't be possible. I can't imagine it ever got fixed, and this would be evidence that they haven't ever fixed it. -
So out of curiosity I did Kearsarge's simulation. She can manually launcher her fighter planes in an airstrike. Along with being able to manually aim and fire her BB guns like a normal BB. I'm glad Manjuu did it this way, as she would have been rather underwhelming if the planes were simply launched on a timer. Also, for a second, I thought she had Tiny Tim equipped Bearcats set in her fighter slot in the simulation. But it turns out that she launches a barrage of the Tiny Tim Bearcats whenever she launches her fighters. She gets the regular bomb equipped Bearcats we already have in-game. I'm just gonna throw Tigercats on her though

Hindenburg really isn't anything outside of the moar dakka! memeing. Kearsarge looks to be the most interesting gameplay wise. Possibly an actually viable BBV since she's not limited to floatplanes like the others. Approximately 400 in both the FP and AVI stat, so she's not really hampered by poor stats in one. Shimanto will make for a great AA addition to the IJN ships. And they've always desperately needed good AA carries. Potentially on the same level damage output wise as Harbin and Mainz, and her gimmick is that she reloads both torps at the same time, so she'll definitely have a higher burst potential. Also, Hindenburg's personality is a massive, MASSIVE L. Unless you're into that kind of thing, she's a real . Kearsarge on the other hand is a gigantic cinnabun. Especially after you oath her. Kearsarge best PR6, hands down, fite me.

Shimanto's gun gives whoever has it equipped a ghost AA gun. It might be an interesting pick for Seattle's second CL gun. As that would give her two CL guns and two AA guns.

I once read or heard that a coin toss is the most useful way to make a desicion. Assign one to each side of the coin and flip it. The result will tell you which one you truly wanted more because if your reaction to the winner of the toss is any amount of disappointment, then you know right then and there that you wanted the other one more.
