Admiral Graf Spee " Where Is My Radar " :)

[tm63au]

OK WG straight from the horses mouth :

Seetakt  shipborne radar

 

 FMG G(gO) "Seetakt" set

 Four units were ordered and installed on the Königsberg, Admiral Graf Spee and two large torpedo boats (which in German service were the size of small destroyers). The Admiral Graf Spee used this unit successfully against shipping in the Atlantic. 

And this just for starters we will talk about other German ships another time.

Time for the Kriegsmarine to get its radar 

Here is a bonus Tirpitz radar platform

T6 radar

There are lots of the ships in the game that had some form of radar in reality but lack the Surveillance Radar consumable. There are also ships that’s have to arbitrarily give up their surveillance radar to utilize their smoke generator or aircraft facilities. The reasons for all of these features are the same: game balance and to provide different nations/lines with a distinct identity.

All's fair in love and war or kill or be killed.

WG does not play by Queensbury Rules why should the Admiral

What I would like to see for the ships above tier 4 or 5 that do not have the radar consumable is Surface Search radar that only puts ships on the mini-map but does not detect the ship for normal firing although they are welcome to use the mini-map and try.

Who is this  " Hanrahan " you speak of ?

Is this a serious post " Yes " and  " NO " if WG wants to give German ships Radar then I'm for it, will they actually listen to one person pushing the case " Not a chance ".

The real point of this post is to YES make WG aware that there new mode in testing is a great idea in theory, however in practise unless they have something up there sleeve for The Axis are going to be blitzed.

Its a personal view like all the others in the two other threads out at the moment but the more they see our views / feed back  hopefully it might inspire them to really get this mode right.

i would like it to work.

Do you have problem with people trying to make posts lighthearted well attempting to anyway, do they have to be all serious really. just asking as I even put a tongue and cheek emoji in it.

cheers

Yeah i get  that, the only problem current radar doctrine for this game is badly balanced it needs to be scrapped completely or at the very least a major over haul .

If WG were forced to only give ships the tools they actually had IRL I am pretty sure someone at corporate would end up in the gulag because soviet ships would be garbage.

We all love the Spee but it is already almost OP as it is to have Radar on top (not like it would sinergize very good with her tho). 

If they are serious about historical battles, I bet they will pull something out of the sleeve. Brainstorming some ideas:

- They can give Radar to German BBs (Missouri style), given their current lame state and the brawler style of play, Radar would sinergize  very well with them.

- They can give Radar to the new DD line, they look so bad that's possible to slap Radar on them to give them a bit of a figthing chance.

- They can pull a cruiser line split, and give Radar to their fantasy CL line.

Or even better: Graf Spee ‘39 with radar for DubloonsTM

usually € motivate wg so why not?

[HazeGrayUnderway]

If Graf Spee gets Radar consumable for Tier VI, I want all Royal Navy ships to have a consumable called "British Intelligence."

When any RN ship uses that consumable when Graf Spee is in their match, G.Spee will automatically scuttle itself.

All german cruisers & DDs T6 & above (& BBs T8 & above) have radar in the form of hydro...both hydro & radar are the exact same mechanic (w/hydro getting the torp detection added to it)...just extensions of the 2km assured acquisition mechanic... it's even in their descriptions.

If the real reason was intended as a nudge for the upcoming Axis/Allies tourney to give the Axis some kinda help...you should have included that in the OP & the title...instead of post #7 in the thread.

Contrary to some of my posts on this game I am a ardent supporter of it.

Then there should also be a German consumable called "HMS Hood has blown up" whenever Bismarck is in the battle.

Pfft, as if you're going to see many Hoods in WoWS LOL

There should also be a Royal Navy Gangbang of Bismarck.

 

Then we can laugh even more about the idiocy of the Kriegsmarine sending out their newest, most advanced Battleship with 1 escort.

 

This "advanced" and "modern" Battleship also got worked over by a handful of cloth skinned Biplanes.

An even better one is “enigma” where all allied ships see the position of all axis ships at all times.

No, that's why I replied with an Australian in-joke poking fun at what I see as your negativity.

In fairness, maybe I should have used this emoticon  instead of this one:

Why not? Make it swap with hydro and call it a day.
