PvE Ops. A kitsune's thoughts.

[Kitsunelegend]

I FREAKING LOVE THEM!

 

Thank you WG! This is the stuff I love! This is the stuff that WoWS has been NEEDING! Ships work best when they can work as a team, and these pve missions truly brings that to light! It makes me feel a part of something bigger than just a group of random people slugging it out. We need more of this!

 

I only had enough time to try out the new pve missions twice, and here are my thoughts on it so far.

 

The mission itself is decent. I personally am a little bit tired of the whole "base defense against waves of bad guys" shtick that a TON of games have *cough*CoDZombies*cough* so the mission itself felt a tad...over done I guess? But the way its done in warships does shake things up a little.

 

Repair ships. In my honest opinion, those repairs ships you added, were probably one of the BEST decisions you could have made for these modes. Seriously. Adding the ability for ALL ships to repair, not just BBs, was a fantastic move, especially doing it in a way that made SENSE. (And using Red Oak Victory is an added bonus. =P) The only issue I have with them, is they seem to repair you a little too slowly. I feel it'd be a bit better if you increased the repair speed by about 100%? Basically just double the rate, and it should be perfect then!

 

The enemies. The only other real main gripe I have, is a couple of the enemy ships near the end. Specifically the use of the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. I feel both those ships are a tad too powerful to be going up against tier 5 and 6 ships. Its a little too much imo. Maybe ships like the CO, or Nagato, or any tier BB without torpdoes lol but otherwise, everything seemed really well done!

 

Anyway, just my thoughts on the new modes. Personally, even given some of the minor gripes, I'm LOVING these missions! I can see myself spending a LOT of time doing these, trying to perfect them! xD

 

Also, PSA to anyone interested, you can spectate the repair ships and comm ship after you die. I thought that was a cool little touch. =P

I just wish we could use t7s instead of t6s tbh.

-don't overextend

-focus on the DDs and cruisers first,the BBs are slower

-don't let them kill the lexington he will be extremely usefull later(his spawn point is ridiculous,right in front of the main assault)

-don't overextend

-don't rely too much on the repair ships,abuse the smoke of your DDs and cruisers(leander,perth for example)

I wish we could use the cargo ship. I wanna drive one of the armed merchant ships with USN 5" guns...

Carefull what you ask for Sully, you might just get your wish!

To be honest, that would be kinda fun. =P

Tier 6 I think is alright. There are plenty of ships that can handle the enemy ships that spawn, even Arizona. Though for her, I'd highly recommend she stay far in the back, or she'll get focused down very quickly near the end waves. Keep her in the repair ships and focus down the cruisers and high DPM ships first, the focus down the BBs that spawn in. I've won both missions I played today, so something has to be right. =P

camp at repair ship while the enemy focus on our cruisers instead of the more armored dudes,good plan.

The Arizona doesn't have the DPM to be at the front line during the last major wave. In fact, I'd suggest MOST ships, if not all, stay in the back close to the repair ships to keep getting repaired. The longer you stay alive, the better chance you have at winning this match. Charging the enemy and going out in a blaze of glory will only end the match in a loss. Besides, the Arizona and other similar BBs have the range to engage any enemies well before they enter the main circle.

 

This mode is all about teamwork, good positioning, and staying alive as long as possible. There is no reason to die early or charge a tier 7 BB that has torpedoes and 15 inch guns that can over-match your bow armor. Thats just stupid.

staying alive,that's the key word.

if the bots are not focusing at the BBs,what is the ship they will deliver accurate salvos?the soft cruisers.

camping base will make you lose a lot of secondary tasks,and if you lose the secondary tasks,there is no point in playing pve,the rewards will be the same as co-op.
