20 sniper3080p Members 15 posts 4,523 battles Report post #1 Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) I feel it's extremely relevant to BBs that wish to properly learn evasive maneuvers and DDs that complain that their torps don't hit. video will start from 3:15 but feel free to watch from the beginning if you want. dodging part will begin at 7:50 AND EXTREMELY RELEVANT INFORMATION AT 9:28. DON'T TRY TO TAKE 'EVASIVE' MANEUVERS LIKE THIS. Edited February 19, 2016 by sniper3080p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They turn their ship only to turn it right back to where the torps are gonna hit them. edit: wrong time Edited February 19, 2016 by sniper3080p 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A good video, but not quite completely relevant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The quality of the animation is amazing considering it was done without computers. Thanks for sharing. This also highlights the importance of the Situational Awareness captain skill. I recall a time recently where there were only a few ships left on both teams. I was in a BB and I had seen an enemy DD about 12 km away a few minutes earlier. The DD sank a friendly ship that was chasing it, and I knew the DD would be coming for me. I set a course in its general direction and waited. After a minute or so, I was detected, and I knew it was by that DD. So, putting myself in the DD captain's shoes, I waited about 25 seconds, giving him time to turn his ship and fire his torpedoes. Then I turned about 45 degrees left. About 20 seconds later, his torpedoes went by to starboard, exactly as planned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In my ARP Myoko earlier, I citadeled an enemy Nurnberg that sailed in a straight line. Easy kill. At least time your slowing down with the enemy's ROF so he misses, but he didn't even try that.
