These New Airstrikes Are Crazy - M. Van Coehoorn First Impressions

[@lonny3344]

Just imagine how much fun matches will be under pressure from a few of these while dealing with a carriers, hybrids, subs, and dds? all at the same time.

[@Wretchedness1609]

Sounds like fun, just push.

[@97wolffang]

@@Wretchedness1609 Don't forget the Hybrid ships XD

[@Wretchedness1609]

@97wolffang just be the hybrid ship

[@joedoe6444]

at this point they really need to give us a free Cmdr. and modules reset. so many new hybrids in the game now that i think it is going to be a smart/necessary move to have AA builds on all your ships.

[@JohnSmith-ux3tt]

WG really seem to be tickling the dragon at this stage. They should be careful with what they seem to be sowing.

[@travelwell8098]

I'll be getting my new computer soon and have been waiting to get back into the game.... haven't played in over a year. These developments are making me rethink my desire to resume the game.

[@ghastous]

Just play PvE thats what i do then it makes it way more fun then sweaty pvp with OP ships

[@Stratic1357]

That lock on bug is old. It frequently (but not always) happens when you switch to any other armament (Airstrike, ASW, Torps) and back quickly. Double tapping "X" to unlock and relock fixes it. It's really noticeable when you play something with lots of fast firing guns at close-ish range. For example: knifefighting in Kitakaze and quickly dropping torps between salvos.

one more thing added to game that encourages camping, it gets really annoying in random battles trying to push flank only to see all bbs are 20km away turning around the moment anything becomes spotted on the flank

[@jimmtheballs]

I accidentally played a random battle the other day (thought I chose ranked) and it was all camping. Barely anyone got out of spawn. Only 1 dd per side, too. Lots of aircraft though.

[@JohnSmith-ux3tt]

The game has trained them to play that way. If they move forward, the CVs, subs and hybrids will just delete them.

[@Austin0042]

I was targeted the first time by a Tromp yesterday and it was miserable. My guy was not spotted for almost the entire match and I ended the game having shot down 25 of his planes even though I was in a St Vincent, not even a good aa cruiser. It was just nonstop drops the entire game luckily I could use my superheal against the fires but what if I didn't have them?

[@HerbaceousM8]

the counter is that new super massive "aa" Dd that has no AA, haha

[@joedanker3267]

This is the third instance of the unlock bug being noted recently. I had an entire match where my shells were missing by a country mile while locked. Same night I saw AeroSpaceGamer had it on stream. Now PQ is noting it but in reference to the Dutch cruisers. Something is wrong beyond the normal buggery IMO.

[@BashanAsakoJuice]

Thanks For The Quality Video & Yeah i always cry when i see a Colombo in my Minotaur 99% of the time dev strike me no matter my angle😮‍💨

[@MaskulikLevente]

Hi Potato Quality! What's your crosshairs you use?

[@DennisRogers-h1u]

When you trigger an airstrike, your visibility should bloom just like firing your guns. This is ridiculous.

[@AshCatTrainz]

I haven’t noticed that in my 5 years of playing until now

[@piervisser3121]

Yes! and also when you launch a torpedo!

[@saundersroe656]

I think all ships should be visible at all times!

[@AllAhabNoMoby]

@@saundersroe656 😂👍

[@AshCatTrainz]

My bad, you should’ve said concealment. I thought you meant the slight camera shine when you fire the guns

[@stephenwilson0386]

Find someone to love you like WG loves airplanes

[@JohnSmith-ux3tt]

The World of Warplanes dev team have completely taken over WOWS.

[@poz235]

Just got it, looking forward to trying it out.

[@Bush3sh]

i, too, am very concerned about what this new line will be capable of. that's why i am going to be the one that plays them lol

[@unknown23hornet22]

With the lock on bug try using the x button to relock on ro the target. I hope that works.

[@anonemus2971]

More broken toxic hybrid ships that I have no desire to play.

[@joedanker3267]

Are airstrikes impacted by losing target lock as gun salvos are? Or can you get the same dispersion of your bombs without lock or when blind firing?

[@jasonh8753]

looks like this one doesn't have that weird bump on the top of the Cit like the other three seem to have.

[@whyswon]

Hey PQ - what mod provider do you use?

[@komisarzludowy8442]

Nilfgard's army groop middle lider is named the same

[@abdulrahmanazab1884]

how do i use free xp to get a ship i dont understand that also are these ships gonna be available after the event ??

[@joedanker3267]

I wonder if WG is going to add an airstrike detection bloom at some point. It seems terribly unbalanced to allow these cruisers to drop without raising their detection.

[@1338Sunshine]

I have enough xp on the tier 7 to get the tier 8 when it comes out of early access.

[@TophatOrange]

The cross on the minimap (X) instead of a small circle (what your aimpoint is) is that a mod or standard setting you can choose from ?

[@lamoxd3813]

It’s from a mod

[@tommyking5430]

I was thinking if WG remove the ability to drop air strikes when your ship doesn't have land of sight or just high island same with shells over island or torpedoes can't go through the island. This can partially solved camping back of the island and dropping. But yes still has an issue for dropping air strikes undetected. However I believe it will be similar to submarine or destroyer torpedoes launched undetected. Thinking like small island airstrike can go through, but tall island unable or not allow dropping at all unless you have land of sight.

[@taiko1237]

Doesn't make much sense from a realism perspective but it would certainly help with HE bomb airstrike balance issues and also with the standard submarine problem of 'half the enemy team dogpiles you the instant you get spotted'.

[@stephen1r2]

So... If this is the 1st pull in the event, do I get it?

[@KarlFlorence]

I missed Ocean map. I hope you can bring that up to WG 😆

[@5kgBirnen]

GK is such a meme ship. Only gets worse while everything else gets buffed

[@JohnSmith-ux3tt]

But, it's good for Credits. I know I am just there to give reds heaps of XP but if I need credits I am happy oblige them.

[@michaelpage4199]

That was great. 👍

[@Brainreaver79]

in the hands of a good player, any ship is a menace. ;)

[@omarnuneznavy]

First glace, i thought you was playing a large dd 😅

[@pepperpiet]

the lock-on problem also is on gouden :(

[@trueseeker3798]

9:44 pq, do you need help?

[@fantomas2757]

Aircraft carriers, aircraft battleships, aircraft cruisers, aircraft torpedo bombers. Aircraft submarines are still missing. I think Wows is already planning something like that 😂😂!! And the game will be all about anti-aircraft guns and air raids. It's getting boring to play with a ship that doesn't have very high-quality AA.

[@vs_gaming3013]

Devs will definitely nerf this ship. You can barely stay and drop bobmbs on cooldown.

[@adalbert1972]

Tested by who?🤔

[@Asgar1205]

Ah... the very much German Wiesbaden

[@GRUMPY656799]

Time to learn how to play cv’s and retire all my ships that don’t have aa mods

[@tkoragen3527]

If You are genius You can play any "shitship". GG PQ

[@qcnsaint_sapin582]

PQ What happened to our game that used to be so fun

[@littletweeter1327]

peak gameplay

[@pepperpiet]

imagine 2 tromps 5 utrechts for cw

[@r1299]

I like this new line for a very different reason. All those planes will help trigger my 50% faster consumable reload. That's a win for me.

[@dominicrobertdillonbrown9938]

all this does is demonstrate how more and more stupid this game is getting...we got spamming dds who carry more torps than is close to realistic...we got cruiser spammers who fire faster than any modern vessel could even get close to....we got subs who in of themselves are not an issue, the stupid mechanics on how one deals with them and lack of any hydro on vessels (most vessels used to have it) means they still shot gun you....we got BBs where some have correct close cluster spreads and others that act like shot guns...then we got Cvs being OP....and now we have magical DD and cruisers launching airstrikes from magical none existent airbases cos they could not launch from deck.....i used to love this game now i am rapdily going off it. all they need to do to solve this is have a game mode like random...that is called realism mode...limited ammo, realistic main gun spreads, hydro on all vessels, reduced firing rates not even complex do this and add in realism mechanics on penetrations and true damage models (doesnt take alot to actually disable ships far less than actually in game)....then this game would be truthfully awesome its realism is what is missing.....if they want new player and more importantly players staying this is what is needed...if not this will die through silly gameplay they introduce

[@Nick-dw3sv]

This is cancer

[@qcnsaint_sapin582]

I think wg are killing themselves, N/A have less and less players wonder why.

[@peeperinos]

"I think this is a very powerful ship" *unloads shells into ground* 😂

[@diegowushu]

Range+fast reload+more pen. The "downside" is less planes, not enough. WG being crap at balancing yet again.

[@cimitarthegrumpygamer3879]

Why would you buy a "Premium" if it is worse.... thanks for pointing this out! you won't get that money WG!

[@zzmuffin2]

GK HE LAMO

[@ReiSpitz]

how can you cry about airstrikes when you can actually avoid them almost everytime. As opposed to subs and cvs.

[@puckhead777]

The gimmicks are getting really old as is the power creep.

[@ronchabale]

Bit concerning, game is getting close to un playable, players are gonna abandon this parody.

[@suvetum6763]

This line should not be able to pen 32mm and above, they spam too fast and with their high fpm paired with longer range than leeuw they are really cancerous to the game.

[@iron8586]

Wow PQ building AA then surprised that it works? Seems like it has been that way for awhile now 😒

[@UnknownDream92]

Stop coping, AA is trash in this game. My Johann de Wit and Jinan are built full AA, and if flak won't proc you might as well be sitting duck. The problem of AA is that continous dmg is abysmal and extremely flak proc reliant.
