Arkansas Beta players (Many of whom, will never see this post.)

[aether_tech]

Thank you, for sitting in the back and snipping. I appreciate each and every one of you that has full health, or close to full health, near the end of the match.

 

Thank you for helping your team out. /SARCASM.

 

Seriously, guys. You've played since Beta - at least fifty games of PVP! Use your ships properly! Snipping from 14km only works when your opponents are bots, afk, or such complete potatoes that they don't even know what the trigger is to fire their guns. I see average Kawachi's with more cahones and better scores than most Arkansas Beta players I've met up with these 

 

 

/sincerly.

The Clemson and Izyaslav that keeps burning you to the bottom of the seafloor - and dodging all your shotgun blasts of HE.

Sits 14km away from topic.  Did I do it right?

 

Otherwise.  Ark beta is a fun ship to play and brawl with cause secondaries + MBM3

[Captain_Dorja]

How do you even sit back in Ark Beta? It's range is about 6 inches, and it's too slow to control engagement range...

 

Also, daily reminder that long time in game =/= good or knowledgable player, and as the game lasts longer, playerbase degrades.

Arkansas beta only has 13 km range LOL  

 

that is pathetic range for a BB as you are already close enough to start getting spammed by the enemy team.

1) You can't blame your teams performance on your team.  Even when they're at fault.

     a) You must carry your team, even after dying.

2) Criticizing your team is like asking a teenage to not do something.

3) It doesn't matter how long someone has played; they're going to do what they're going to do and no amount of advice is going to change that.

4) It's a game.  Worry about yourself and how you play; you'll probably not feel any less enraged at other people, but at least you'll be focusing your energies to a useful place.

Did they nerf Arkansas Beta range?

14-ish with the Plotting Room mod that anyone in their right mind would take.

14.1 km ..."supertester"

Base.  BASE 

[ChaosDrill]

So the tier 9 and 10 Elites have corrupted low tier gameplay! How can this happen!

[AverageCarrierMain]

I dont know that 14.1km is far but then again I take it to 0.5km from dds

[Captain_Dorja]

God forbid Super Tester not know the exact stats of every single ship in the game in every single possible configuration off the top of their head!

[Aloeus]

14km isn't hanging back, it's just about the sweet spot for higher tier BBs and if ark had any accuracy would be a sweet spot for her too. Now if they hang 20kn back and do nothing, well, they didn't accept beta invites based on stats.

The Arkansas Beta has no accuracy at 14km. I know this from personal experience.

Finally someone who actually owns a Beta that complains about the piss-poor handling of the ship by players.  It's criminal to see her played as a max-range HE spammer by people who are supposedly more experienced than some of us OBT/post-release users.

I love dodging Arkansas Beta salvos from 10+km in my Izy and Clem. I know they are aiming at me, I know they've got HE loaded. And it's like...bow/stern on...wait for the flash...wiggle a smidge. And misssssssssssss. Or nudge out in front of an island, hit the brakes, slam into reverse, and watch a salvo pass my bow. splassshh.

It can hit other BB sized targets from 14km

 

sometimes

 

also, you're complaining that pubbies(we are still fairly average, even if we have 500 more games played) can't hit your DD with a low tier BB at range...isn't that how its supposed to work?

No.

I'm pointing out the Arkansas Beta players who can't hit me, because I'm a hard target.  I'm pointing them out for thinking they are tier 7+ bb's camping in their spawn on maps the size of a small lake, taking potshots from 14km and racking up just enough experience to put themselves just above the afk players and bots.

I played my Arkansas Beta a lot early on.  Dont really go near it now.  The dispersion is terrible.  I agree, it cant hit the side of a barn at 14K.  However, not the greatest brawler, and without AA, in a carrier battle, its toast.

 

As one of the posters said, hitting a DD nose on is almost impossible.  Even side on with some distance is not easy.  

 

I keep it because I earned it, and every once in a while, take it out for a spin, but much prefer getting into DD at tier IV and torp the slow moving dreadnoughts. Mostly, I stay with my tier 6-8.  I find I have the most fun at those tiers.

[Drewscifer]

If you run out in front the Arkansas isn't going to be able to keep up with you little DDs. Also when you take into consideration that a german BB is best citadeled by plunging fire I'm not surprised when I see american battleship players hanging back and taking advantage of their longer range to hit german BBs who have notoriously BAD accuracy at tiers  3 & 4. That is after all why they are still at full health. As far as her disbursion? That's easily remedied with modules. 

[AutonomousRedux]

I...fail to see the point of this thread. Explanation, please.

Had no problem with the dispersion on either Nassau or Kaiser...then again, I don't target anything but BB's until I've closed to within 7km...the Kawachi and Myogi on the other hand, so far as I've seen from my buddy playing it...

[Phoenix_jz]

I gotta agree, actually. I don't understand how people hang back at all in this. It's range and speed is so awful I'm usually pushing flank speed all match just to be able to hit anything.

If I can get into a brawl, I praise my luck, and then have fun with all secondaries and mains blazing.

 

 

 

[ACniblik]

My Ark Beta is set up for close range with lots of love for the secondaries.

 

 

I almost never use HE, with all those guns you should be shooting AP unless you are playing tag with a destroyer.

 

Then again, I play almost all my battleships as brawlers...

[_Madcows_]

With the equipment for your main guns dispersion the ark beta is damn accurate even out to max range..... all this talk about bad accuracy....? That been said it gets even better the closer you get and your so slow its no excuse to not keep trundling along like a WMD. That plus increased rate of fire and DDs so long as your smart melt like butter. Only thing that should worry is ark beta is a pair of CVs..... which sadly enough you see nearly every match now as most of the nigh tier CV players fled to tier 4ish long ago.
