I'm just trying to play my Tenryu and I was literally boxed in by two Saint Louises on my own team. They surrounded me without looking where they were going and made me unable to move. Also, why do destroyer captains shoot their guns and fire torpedoes at nothing at the beginning of the round? Am I missing something here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Am I missing something here? Maybe they enjoy lowering their shell and torpedo hit rate? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, why do captains shoot their guns and fire torpedoes at nothing at the beginning of the round? Am I missing something here? I believe the key to the second question lies within the 1st question. Basically the second question can be answered as: guns go pewpewpew and torpedoes go swooshswoosh. With the addition of Russian DD I constantly see 3km torpedoes launched at 10km or more distant ships. Literally had to tell one guy in a Derski to stop constantly launching torps as he circled inside cap during a lower level map so any other ship could enter cap to complete the match or for a BB on our team to pass by en route to shooting and chasing the lone remaining BB in the far corner.

Most players have probably done this. I have. Have you ever hit another ship or an island? It's irritating but part of the game. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you think I'm giving up my angle toward other Battleships you are out of your mind. Don't always think there isn't a reason someone didn't turn. I've had friendly cruisers hit my bow and then cry about me not turning right before they get citadeled to hell because they didn't think ahead.
