I've been trying to help clear mines for team mates by launching ASW ahead of their path when I'm not in one myself with a BB. ASW is taking out mines, but once it actually cleared a mine field. What did I do right? Is there a memo about this? The airplanes drop the mines IIRC so if you take out the airfields that means no more minefields 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next, the shore batteries need to be taken out. After that, I don't know because I'm dealing with the fact that some of these objectives didn't get accomplished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clammboy Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I played one game in the Lyon last night had no idea what I was doing . I Just shot at anything that was moving and all the land installations got a win though just don't know how. At the moment I am working to much to do my due diligence on this mode. I must say it looks visually good and those torpedo boats are a little scary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think very realistic to get the Aerodromes out of action early unless your team is well coordinated, there's so much urgent stuff to do. But there's a good chance to intercept the mine planes before they drop as their drop zone is across the map. A well positioned AA ship or two, have a good chance to intercept and kill the mine planes on their way to the drop zones. And it gets done automatically while You deal with other stuff. The problem is You need able team mates taking care of the flanks as you'll need to take a more central position to intercept the planes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakeshuffle Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Alright, am I doing something wrong when the mine fields get placed right on top of me as a cruiser? 'Cause my depth charges don't do jack to get rid of the mine fields when it is the arial versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move out of the área before the mines become active, there's enough time if You act quickly, watch out the minimap to get an idea of the minefield position. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondaries and High Caliber HE splash are very effective against e-boats. 4 minutes ago, clammboy said: This would be great maybe we get @Wolfswetpaws to.

I've also my hands full with RL stuff, just a spare hour a couple nights a week to play ships. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viridem Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 (edited) I'm really not enjoying this game mode. First, WG told us they'd give us rentals. Plural. I got one ship, La Galissonière. With the De Grasse I have, that's two ships I can chose from... Then, maybe it looks good, but I prefer being able to see things. Everything is blended together in a big grey mess. Maybe it's more "realistic", but I certainly don't enjoy this. EDIT: turn down the fog effect in the settings. Great choice of targets: minefields, which are a chore to clear, planes, which are horrible to fight against (Oh, the rocket planes got your cruiser's side while you were trying to avoid mines? Surprise! 23k HP gone!), static land targets, which can spot and shoot you from stealth (and are uninteresting to shoot at). Of course there are 20-something DDs and torpedo boats, which would be nicer to fight if I could see what's happening, and if I didn't have to dodge mines that just appeared under my nose. More of a nitpick, but when opening containers from the D-Day port, it feels like the animation is very sped up, in a quite jarring way. I do find the usual animation for containers too slow, but here it feels almost agressive, like they took the regular one and just sped it up. Oh, and of course the port itself is... very grey. I'll pass. Edited May 31 by Viridem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? how do you have so few? They give free mid tier ships everywhere, I must have about 15-20 as a FTP, without buying a single one. I only play Japanese ships on this account, no exceptions. I found an old account I thought lost a few months ago, and where I played a couple lines up to tier 3 or 4, years ago. I tried D-Day with this account. I got the De Grasse in a SC at the time. Of course, if I were to play with my main account, this wouldn't be an issue. I have reached the 350 ships count with West Virginia the other day... But yes, you are right, I checked the article for the event, it seems it's one rental per stage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo_Apollo11 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 HI all, When you get 1800 BaseXP with 6-7-8-9 kills and you see some of your "teammates" with 0 (ZERO) kills and 300 BaseXP you start to wonder about many things in WoWs and humanity in general...

Arcus_Aesopi Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 (edited) Fun camo in DDay operation: adds a bit of color! It's the Blazing Tropics camo for Atlanta. Unfortunately, it (and the B version) reverts to stock when the scenario actually starts....

Leo "Apllo11" Remember that you get sh*t for score if you do the shore battery objectives... Another case of WG setting an objective and then undercutting it in the rewards coding. You better hope someone is doing those objectives 🙂 Fair winds and following seas! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, have a cruiser with dept charges destroy the ones' already in the water.. That will clear the path to saving 2 stars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
