Torps? Arcade.....?

[dmckay]

Now I am seeing 3-4 DD per game in tiers 2-4.  6 in last game I played.  The waters were FULL of torps.  Full. I counted 20 at one time.  I know this is not real WWII sim but this is crazy and arcade to the max. This kinda thing is fiction to the max.  Torps launched from all directions on a wing and a prayer. Waters full of torps.  Now, I know this is not WWII but really, this kinda DD torp spaming is silly.  I have just begun to see this in past week.  This is more akin to a WWII arcade shoot-em-up IMO. Hmmmm what can be done?  It is IMO getting kinda crazy at times. There.  Done.  Comments?

Java Sea and the 99 Type 93s launched disagree with you.

[NargilFenris]

Be thankful you can spot torps so easy in this game. Arcade to the max...

NO.  I am talking bout WoWs where dozens of torps are now coming at ya.  You mean well but you are NOT on the same page with me here.

Low tiers with their crazy 30 second torp reload times.

Low tiers with their crazy 30 second torp reload times.

 

 

 

All the DD and torp spam is in the low tiers since the reload times are short. Higher tiers have 90-120 second load times.

By the way...why does Java Sea disagree with me?  I know what you are trying to say but you actually said nothing.  Elaborate. Just don't toss out something out and say "it" disagrees with me.  Hell man you are talking about two different things, a WWII REAL battle compared to a damn video game.  Apples to Oranges.  Carry on.

THAT is a true statement.  Tks

Suck it up, Buttercup. If you don't want to tangle with destroyers, stay the hell away. It's that bloody simple.

Ha.  I was about to take you seriously until you bloody well had to diss rather than say anything of merit.  

O well...

Its just an arcade game, In real life you had no choice to exit the game and play something else.  What gets me is damn bullets flying everywhere when I get singled out their is no avoiding it.

The entire premise of your OP is complaining the game is too arcade.

 

Well whats the opposite of arcade? A sim. And a sim seeks to reproduce reality. In reality 'shoot a whole bunch of torps at them' was the IJN battle doctrine. Meaning a proper sim would have a whole bunch of torpedoes.

 

What exactly is your complaint?

You have a point. Granted.  However this game is small maps with lots of tight passages. MY I see torps hits islands a lot! I also get freaked out at my own team mates firing off torps from looooong range with a prayer.  Aaaaa hell, I just came from a game where the DD's were crazy.  I mean it was a mess. Now, I suck, so don't get the idea I am speaking down from Mt Olympus. It's just in a short time since I have been here I have seen the lower tiers increasingly become something akin to torpedo alley and kinda mindless. Not a huge deal but I have noted this.  May be my imagination.  Dunno.  Hey, gotta get to bed.  All of you tks and you can have at me later.  Carry on.

It's not as if anybody is going to force you to fight destroyers. So, either go shoot at the other three classes of ships, or don't complain about something.

No, better yet. Go complain to Gaijin Entertainment. They'll do something about it...

low tiers have very fast torpedo reloads, but weak short range torpedoes.

 

higher tiers you get fewer torpedoes but they are more deadly, its less hectic though. Lower tier maps are smaller and people just kind of go around shooting

[JoeErving]

LoL... Just wait till you hit T8+ and start seeing Shima's....

They put 15 Torps in the water in a full launch at 15km it is wall of torps longer than my Iowa.  Now its a slow reload but get 2 of those or a mix and one...

Yeah I've seen some large amount of torps in the water at a time.

this

you shouldn't be able to see them and to dodge so easily

May never go to tier 8.  I play what I like and do not consider this a race up the tiers.  I like to play "eras".  Lots seem to feel the higher they go the more fun and better they will be.  Naaaa.  WoT is like this and all the tier 10 players do is GRIPE.  Becomes a job just to keep your tank repaired. Ego trip to an extent.  Tks and carry on.

Just wait till you see a wall of them at high tiers.

They shouldn't be as fast as they are in the game either, type 93 in game travel at 67knt when they topped out at 50knts, the speed buffs and range buff for US torps is even more exaggerated.  It's an arcade game and to be expected it's a naval game without a flotation model for the love of Pete.
