4,245 [UNHLY] tm63au Members 4,003 posts 29,299 battles Report post #1 Posted December 6, 2020 Our amazing story takes place on the 4th of Dec when a WOWS player took out a USN BB into Coop battle and had a amazing discovery. The ship in question USS Kansas, when the battle began and the player push the full speed button for ship and it reached its full speed limit, to the surprise and amazement of the player the USS Kansas passed the 20 knot speed mark !!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING that a USN BB went over 20 knots. Other amazing stories of people liking the 40 second reload time for USS Oklahoma !!!! Amazzing stories Well that is about it for this weeks episode. Stay tuned for more upcoming Amazing Stories , in the coming weeks we have a story is about the WG DEV who tries to tell the WOWS community with a STRAIGHT FACE the the Russian Battleship VMF Slava is underpowered and needs a massive BUFF. So keep your eye the screen for that AMAZING STORY. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Distinguish from the USN fast BBs, please.) So no biggie. I was a bit surprised that the 40 sec. reload isn't so terrible in practice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Asking for a friend. I'd say that it's because he's active on the forums. I believe that he also researches ships and game mechanics and edits Wiki pages. Some people enjoy the forum more than they do the game. I know that without a forum I'd probably not be paying the game near as much, if at all. The interaction of both game and forum leads to a more full gaming experience. Edited December 6, 2020 by Snargfargle 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well done, @tm63au. :-) For other "amazing stories", I also suggest this topic, created by @Ensign_Cthulhu. :-) Several people have contributed to make it interesting & entertaining in a variety of ways. As for the Oklahoma, I like her 8.3 km secondary battery range. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It knows how to explode and I will immediately get a supercontainer with 100 detonation flags. It's almost like WG wants me to play it, but don't explode in it.

However (to test my theory), I sailed in a straight line for the entirety of a co-op match that lasted about 8 minutes and never touched the rudder. Never got above 22.9 kts. Stayed pegged at 22.9 I haveth gold eagle camo. Maybe that adds drag? Barnacles and seaweed slowing things down? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

22,286 [ARGSY] Ensign_Cthulhu Members 28,886 posts 24,962 battles Report post #23 Posted December 8, 2020 Clearly, various copies of Kansas are not built to the same standard. Go into the training room, select the Ocean map, flank speed and let 'er rip. If we're going to settle this, let us at least do so under reproducible conditions.
