Interesting times coming for the low tiers

[PPH402]

When the new lines get released it's going to be interesting for the lower tiers. We're going to have a lot of experienced players starting on the new lines. Players that have grinded, in some cases, with the Alphas, three times, and with the Betas twice. 

 

I don't know what it was like for the Alphas when the CBT started and they got an influx of new players, but I know for the Betas we didn't get thrown in with totally new players after the wipe. We were given a bit of a head start to fight among ourselves and go up a few tiers to populate them before they let everybody in. By the time the new players caught up, they had some idea what they were doing. 

 

Now though, it's going to be a lot of really good players just wrecking things for a while in the low tiers. Should be interesting. Just remember to be nice when you killed by friendly torps, it's bound to happen.

Gotta be extra-vigilant, or RIP you. I'm gonna enjoy killing all the mindless people too.

ya, after using the aurora bonus code the other day ive played a bit of low tiers. its rough...lots of blind fire/out of range torpedoes and general newbie shenanigans. its to be expected.

 

when OBT started i was out of low tiers pretty quick. a few good games and youre done with a ship. i put things in perspective...as a newbie early in CBT it took me a good 200 games before i didnt run aground every match.

When the game went OBT there was a small influx of new players. It will be rough but at the same time the new ships are also different enough that people will have to try to learn their strengths. Some people still hop into an Umikaze to finish that daily "Torpedo 15 people!" mission.

Good thing most of them will have free xp in the 6-digit range with which they can blitz past the first 4 or so tiers with.

Well In Alpha I got wipe once Then Wipe to CBT then wipe to OBT. Got tier 10s then tier 10s again and so forth lol so taking my time this time. I still enjoy the game. Seen many changes. Some good some not so good in my opinion. Anytime a line comes out in WoWs or Wots it is always exciting. So looking forward to it.

Honestly, OP, the better players will either (A) free xp thru the low tier crap or (B) play thru it in about 2-3 hours. If you are reasonably capable, you can play to t4 in about 20-30  battles. 

 

Unless you are a dedicated seal clubber, t1-3 really isnt much fun other than the occasional lolwut battle.

Yeah. I'm planning to either free XP it or hope I do excellent and get up to the Nurnberg ASAP.

Not to mention some of us will have trained captains to put on those ships.

My Russian captain is well trained, my German not so much. I haven't used the Tirpitz that often since it's still new enough that you see so many of them. 

 

On the Russian side I have one captain that just hops between the Gremy, the Aurora and the Murmansk. I'll have to respec him for DDs, but he's got a lot of points to use. 

[Hualalai]

Actually, the low tier German cruisers look really fun.  They have a tier 2 St Louis.

Yup. Lot's of DD's don't know torp range. I rebought the St Loius since I didn't want to Fexp to Scal and people are loosing torps at 8-12 km when their range is half that. It's bloody down there. Gotta watch your allies more than your enemies.

[Deadeye_Pete]

You guys got that right.. On the other hand I love low tier play.. You just never know whats going to happen in a match!  I'm far from alone either.  I never have any problems finding a match low tier.    Its nice when my side wins, but most of the time we all go out and die gloriously!  Afterwards, base VOQ bar for beers and pool!

 

There are lots of subtleties to play of WOWS.  and I'm always finding more.   I wanna grab that tier one german cruiser and hire myself out as close escort for tier III,IV,and V BB's and tier IV and V carriers.  Jingles gave a look at it and those dual purpose main battery guns on that thing may turn into a bit of a terror.. or maybe not..  I understand the Atlanta doesn't use its main guns for AAA work which it should as that was what the ship was designed for, not destroyer killing (though it can do that job right niceley.  I'f I'm wrong on that please feel free to correct me.   I don't have an Atlanta/

That's what made me think of this. I accidentally took my Yubari into a battle (meant to take the Hatsuharu) tonight and ended up hunting BBs with a couple of friendly DDs. I dodged more of their torps than the enemies and they kept launching way out of range of their targets. It was fun though. The low tiers can be exciting.

as a CBT, I'll say that even though we knew what we were doing and got 2-3 kills usually a game, our entire team could still suck and just be rolled by the other. It kinda came down to who could sink noobs faster.

[Patton5150]

Low tiers go by fast so experienced players won't be in the low tiers for very long.

 

[JoeErving]

let us not forget those of us with some fairly high lvl German and Russian Captains... T4 captain range boost skill  will be nice

I, for one, welcome the entry of our better players into lower tier games......perhaps some skill will rub off.  I am sick of crap teams to try grinding my way up.

[Raptor_alcor]

I've personally found that experience doesn't mean much when the game says [edited]you *grumbles at the last 10 times his umikaze got it's mag detonated from a single BB shell*

I'm curious as to how much you guys all have saved up for the new lines. I'm sitting at 200k free exp at the moment. How much have you all saved up?

 

I'm considering saving the majority of it for the KM BBs, but who knows when those will come out.

I've got just under 240k. I won't use it on the new ships though. I save it for when I get a new CV to upgrade the planes. Nothing worse than having to go up against a mirror CV and getting dominated because they have better planes. 

[IronWolfV]

I go play my Arkansas Beta and Ishizuichi at times, even at tier 4 they pull this crap.
