Ankündigung des dritten jährlichen Barney Awards und Diskussion über Brisbane Cyclone

00:12:26

00:12:26 Hey everyone, my name is Clyde Plays, and I want to invite you to the third annual Golden... My phone is blowing up. Why? I got people texting me about Barneys stuff. That's how cool this is. The Barneys are an award show just like the Oscars, except we give out Pixel trophies to our favorite Pixel Boats that came out in the last year. This year we've got a whole slew of special guests presenting awards and some others who are going to be doing special presentations during the show.

00:12:52 It's going to be a lot of fun. I really hope that you'll choose to join me on twitch.tv slash ClydePlaysLive Saturday, March 15th. Thanks, everybody.

00:13:14 Naughty, Naughty. Ja, ich bin nicht der einzige CC.

00:13:41 I'm fairly sure there are many people on Twitch who have been whapped at some time or the other. Not me. I don't think I've ever been whapped, and I'm happy about that. But, you know, I'm a straight shooter. I play by the rules. I definitely do not. I'm definitely your late night smutmouth streamer. Oh, no. Oh, no. I have to be good. It's 8 a.m. in the morning for me, so I have to not be smutmouthed.

00:14:09 Das ist brutal. Ich habe drei Stunden zu sleep. Ich habe drei Stunden zu sleep. Ich habe mir gedacht, ich kann drei Stunden in drei Stunden. Ich werde gut sein.

00:14:23 I do have to go grocery shopping and stuff because the stores are finally open after the cycling hit us here in Brisbane. Oh! I did hear about that. The NACMs have been a little... We've been in a bit of a whirlwind because Goods of Oxertons had a little baby buggy and Kaishu is off touring foreign lands so it's been a little quiet I guess so I've been...

00:14:49 My head's been spinning around with what's been going on here, but I did hear that there was some craziness going on down there. So can you tell me a little bit about what happened and maybe how the cleanup is going? Yeah, so Brisbane actually hasn't had a real impacted Biclone, which is just a South Pacific, Southern Hemisphere hurricane. So same, same. Just a different name for a different location.

00:15:18 We had... It was supposed to not come down as far as it did, and then it came down. So it started in the Great Barrier Reef, or Northern Queensland. I'm in the southern part of Queensland. So all the Aussies out there will know which ones I'm talking about, or where I'm talking about. But we had only supposed to have a few...

00:15:43 Ein paar kleine Schäuers und Wind, aber dann hat es einen 90-Greeren Turn aus dem Ön und dann geht es direkt nach Brisbane. Wir hatten ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen.

00:16:11 I have a tense moment because the Shimakaze is getting me kind of pinned down. But I think between your smoke and forward position, they have chilled out. Yeah, I got the Nevsky radar army. I've still been radar for the past 12 seconds.

00:16:31 No, no. I... Yeah, I think what we did here, I am... Liv! I've been radared. Yeah. Ah, okay.

00:17:01 I've been radar for the past 65 seconds. So many friends. Oh, there's double Nefsky over there. Yeah, that's kind of crap. Yeah, they traded off.

Internationaler Frauentag Stream und Drops

00:17:29

00:17:29 So I see a few people talking about drops. You might have already completed your drops if you watched some other streams. Earlier today we had an International Women's Day stream where we had a special guest, a Lieutenant Colonel, who was the first female pilot in the Marines, which that was a pretty cool stream if you didn't catch it. I would absolutely recommend you checking out the VOD.

00:17:55 Jesus, there's everything everywhere all at once. Yeah. Yeah, I think we're having a tough time over here. Okay, yeah. So I see we have a lot of ground over on the other flank. We just don't have a lot of ground on this flank. No, it seems like our main and our Kremlin kind of picked themselves out of the fight a little bit. What? That was a nice first game for both of us, getting utterly dunked.

00:18:22 So the good part is, when you're streaming, if you get rekt, that just means you get to talk to Chat more. This is true. You spend less on drops than Tarzan does on underwear. Well, you spend nothing on drops, you just watch something and get a drop. Yeah, there are other people getting drops, so you may have already gotten your drop if you watched some previous streams, but there are other people that are accruing drops, so I'm not exactly sure what to tell you on that.

00:18:50 Yes, Sarah Deal was on the stream. She was our guest earlier today. She was interviewed by Tsunami, although she has a V instead of a U, so I don't know if you pronounce it the same way, but I'm assuming it's Tsunami. And also Misty Chu, our Latam CM, was there. So, yee-haw!

00:19:11 All right, well, I think we're going to go ahead and leave this battle because I don't know if it's over, but it's definitely over for us and we can hop back to port. Yeah, yeah, that's kind of brutal. You want to try it again? Let's try it again. Yeah, let's run that back. Because that sucked. Yeah, I'm usually much better than that in the Vampire 2. It's one of my outplay DDs. Vampire 2 is pretty badass. I do. It's awesome. See, I'm a big... Go ahead.

00:19:40 Also, es ist einfach so awesome in person. Oh, wirklich? Rawr? Ja. Even better. Ja. I'm a big fan of... My first DD that I got to Tier X was the Z-52. So I'm a fan of having a Hydro and being able to be aggressive with it, doing the Smoke Hydro stuff. And kind of having a hybrid between a UK line but also kind of a German line that the Vampire 2 represents is just like...

00:20:10 I don't know if it has the best of the both worlds because you really wish you had to heal. But outside of that, I mean, she's just an ass kicker, which is pretty cool. Yeah. Well, she spits out fire. She definitely makes battleships. If I see a German BB or a Russian BB, I just don't want to milk it like a cow for XP at that point. Well, don't be too aggressive because there are only two destroyers and you are one of them. And we need you. We need you, buddy.

00:20:39 I'll be aggressive enough. So, the only other thing I can say, Chat, there's some people talking about drops. There might be some weirdness with the time stuff. Like, the US time moved forward, whereas EU time, I think, has not. Or maybe has. I don't know. Gotta love the daylight saving stuff. It messes with us all. I believe EU's time changes over this weekend, but NA's time changed three days ago.

00:21:08 So, I'm seeing some people saying the drops are working for them, which means that the drops are enabled, they're doing what they're doing. I'm seeing other people saying that they're not working, which what you can do is you can either unlink and relink your Twitch, you can refresh the stream, or give it an hour and see if the timey-wimey weirdness is affecting stuff, because... But, unfortunately, I don't have any magic to offer on that one.

00:21:37 Oh, well, turns out I'm checking out there's a Seattle, and the Seattle has a little target over his head. Same thing with the Cecilia. There's a lot of bounties. Yeah, there's a lot of bounties on the other team. So if you are able to sink a bounty, you get some, I think, pirate tokens, it might be, some kind of event currency. And if you are able to get...

00:21:59 If you're able to sink ships while you are a bounty, you can sign up for free in the Armory. You'll get even more. And if you're able to win the game and have some bounties left on your team, I think you're able to get a little bit that way. Because, oh, oh, oh, there's a gearing. How you doing, buddy? Because you are able to, you know, get down, Mr. President, protect the bounty on your team sort of thing. Speed up, right? Nah, kinda.

00:22:28 yes no i feel like the gearing just kind of like waited on that for a really long time which i mean worked out for it but i mean he tried to he tried to get me with the um oh i'm high firm uh sales got me radar you can get by the island you'll be fine but you'll get there

00:22:57 You got this. Oh, but can you get behind the island? Get some tactical beaching going on there.

00:23:09 You want me to switch your screen? Does everybody see? No, they don't want to see this. No, no, no, no. They don't need to see. They don't need to see. It's fine. It's fine. I'm fine. I'm okay. Yeah, I'll probably get wrecked by the Montana because I'm gamer turning into a radar here. But the radar doesn't reveal right away, so maybe we live? Radar's down anyways. Well, it is. I'm good. My concern is the Montana shells that did not kill me, so.

00:23:39 Let me try. Should be able to squeeze off. Probably another sound before I gotta turn back for more incoming Montana shells. There we go. 17. Give me more. We have a linen. Push it in for that Seattle. Once that Seattle is gone, we'll have a little bit better wiggle room for me.

00:24:04 No seattle my pop pop hey kill it is a kill yeah okay and I got the bounty hell yeah so oh I'm okay with this one great thing that Monmouth is good for is the Dillian cruisers do you have an idea where the gearing might be yeah I think he's still playing peekaboo between B and C cap well I am still spot shot so yeah

00:24:33 War Torpedoes are going to have to conquer right now. Well, we take a good hit into the superstructure. Sad times there, but the 30 mil means we're not going to get overmatched by the 406s of the Montana. So we've got that going for us. I think I just stay dark until we know what's going on with the gearing. Gearing's right here. I'm just dodging the Torps right now.

00:25:05 Okay, so chat's rolling pretty quick. I'm sorry. I'm a little invested by the double battleship that are potentially going to punk me. So I'm not seeing everything out there. But if you do experience some chat issues or have issues that you need to report in the game, those need to go to customer support. We have CS agents. They will get the ticket, review it. If they see, yep, this violates our EULA, they will whack the person appropriately.

00:25:34 They're more than happy to send WAPs as needed. Tactical WAP inbound. They just need, you know, a replay or a screenshot or something of the situation so that they can handle it. Give me, like, a few more seconds and I'll help you form out the, uh... Oh, alright, well...

00:26:06 Das ist alles gut. Das ist alles gut. Das ist alles gut. Ich werde die Hitsen. Ich versuche, dass ich nicht überkommitieren, um zwei Battleships zu machen. Ich habe nicht die Frontline, also ich muss, ich muss, dass ich es machen kann.

00:26:23 Oh, nice. Still in smoke, and the Monty's not detecting us. I am okay with that. I do like these, uh, you know, six AK salvos. The AP on this is not a joke. What's the size on this? 234. These are like Goliath guns, I think, but they're AP only. But they have improved pin angles with these 60-68 ricochet chance. Well, I'm okay with that, too. Oh, yeah.

00:26:54 Monty sees us. Cecilia's smoke's got to be gone soon. Looks like you're Juke and Torp, so the gearing's still coming after you. Yeah, those are kind of a little desperation toss. One Torp hit the Cecilia. No Flood on him, no. I think we're about to lose our Groff Zeppelin.

00:27:16 Das ist ein bisschen schwer. Ein Grof Zeppelin für den win? Vielleicht? Oh, ich bin geimpft. Every Grof Zeppelin ist ein Secondary Grof Zeppelin, so das ist einfach... Das ist einfach so. Aber... Ist er eine AP-Firung? Vielleicht ist er. Wenn so, dann könnte er überstehen.

00:27:43 We can get a good bite right there. I mean, the secondary should be landing. The question is if we can just... Alright, I gave you two citadels, buddy. That's the best I could do. Zeppelin lives with 7k. Alright. Oh, I can't stop this. I can't stop out of that one. No. Okay.

00:28:09 So, I am detected by the DD. He's still out over, he's to the right of the island. Yeah, he's got me there, something like that. So we're gonna game return in front of the Monty, see how badly we get wrecked. I'm not detected now, so that might actually save me. But if the CCD kept pushing, I have to back off. Although he's turning? I don't know why the hell he'd turn. I guess he's scared to the Conqueror, it just has too much health. Hmm.

00:28:40 I mean, his name is DasDoubleTap Your name? That's a good name Switch to ClapDaddyScreen? He's dead, dude

00:28:53 Um, da ist auch eine andere Grund, warum ich nicht zu verwenden, weil ich nicht zu verwenden, weil ich nicht zu verwenden habe, weil ich nicht zu verwenden habe, weil ich nicht zu verwenden habe, weil ich nicht zu verwenden habe, weil ich nicht zu verwenden habe, weil ich nicht zu verwenden habe, weil ich nicht zu verwenden habe, weil es nicht zu verwenden ist, weil es nicht zu verwenden ist, weil es nicht zu verwenden ist, weil es nicht zu verwenden ist, weil es nicht zu verwenden ist, weil es nicht zu verwenden ist.

00:29:21 Ich wollte es. Ich wollte es.

00:29:25 Ich denke, wir sind wieder gestoppt hier, denn es ist nicht so gut für uns. Es ist, was, 4-8? Womp womp. Ich weiß nicht, dass sie ein Double Monmouth sind. Das wäre der Winning Faktor. Ich würde, ich würde spielen Destroyer spielen, also vielleicht sollte ich in der DD sein. Ich habe 85k in der Kälte, für was das wert. Ich bin able, dass ich etwas mit dem Cruiser war, aber meh.

Vorstellung von Cl4p_Daddy und seine Hintergrundgeschichte

00:29:52

00:29:52 Alright, so it's about 5.17 Uhr. That's a more normal time for us to end our opening fight and say hello to everybody. So, my name is Asconce. You probably know that. You may have seen me around these parts once or twice. But I am visited today by ClapDaddy. So, let's take a few moments. Who the hell are you? Because it takes a little while for people to filter into the stream. Who are you? How long have you been streaming? Where'd you come from? What are you doing? Give us the lowdown.

00:30:20 Well, my story is a little faster paced, I guess, than most when it comes to streaming. But I've been streaming for almost three years now.

00:30:32 Ich bin in CC November, ich bin ein Jahr und ein halb jetzt. Ich bin ein Jahr und ein halb als CC. Ja, ich bin in der Militär. Ich war in den US Air Force von 2008 bis 2016 als Combat Communications und Counterintel. So, ich bin aus dem Helicopter Pilot. Schooling war nicht fertig. Covid-19 happened. Ich bin ein Covid-Nurse. Ich bin ein Covid-Nurse. Ich bin ein Covid-Nurse. Ich bin ein Covid-Nurse. Ich bin ein Covid-Nurse in Covid-Nurse. Und dann habe ich zu starten Streaming.

00:31:01 Now I live in Australia. So, kind of all over the place, but all lover of military stuff. Since I was a kid, I grew up two exits away from Marine Corps Station Miramar, so where Top Gun was filmed, the original Top Gun. Rawr. So, yeah, I grew up pretty much watching F-18s fly over my house from landing patterns all the time, so. No shit.

00:31:28 Yep. Dude, that's awesome. Yeah, yeah, it was pretty cool. I mean, I got to watch the Blue Angels do their shows every October is when they had it, and I could just watch it from my house and never had to go there.

00:31:40 Oh, actually, see, we've got some people talking about USAF. They were USAF from 1989 to 1998. Another one from 87 to 91. We got a few. Yeah, that's why I have, if you guys ever watched my stream, I have my ribbon rack sitting here with all my coins on top of my PC. Now, did I hear correctly? Did you say you flew choppers? I flew helicopter, so I got my helicopter pilot's license while I was still in the Air Force because I was going to switch.

00:32:08 I was going to get out of the Air Force after my eight years. The last four months I was in the military, I decided to go piloting, and I finished my helicopter pilot license in three months. And I was going to switch over to be Air National Guard in the Army with the Lakota, which is the ECI, well, not Eurocopter anymore, but it's the same...

00:32:32 Same airframe that you'll see for Life Flight or Medivac. And it was going to be a Medivac copter. So that's what I was going to end up doing for the Illinois National Guard. But some things... Injuries and stuff prevented me from that. So they're like, well, we kind of need someone who has a good back and a good shoulder. And my shoulder's been rebuilt. Wow, that one of those shit happens. Yeah, pretty much. Shit happened on my first deployment and then went back out two more times.

00:33:02 So be it. So now I shoot pixels for a living. I'm actually pretty happy with it. I've enjoyed it and it brought me to places I never thought I'd go and people never thought I'd meet. So did you meet your reason for moving to Australia because of World of Warships or no? Yeah, so the reason I moved to Australia is

00:33:30 und Maddie-Jade, wir immer noch immer wieder zusammengekommen. Und wir haben... Ja. Ended up hittin' es auf. Ja, hittin' es auf. Ja, hittin' es auf und hittin' es auf und hittin' es auf. Und jetzt haben wir schon seit November gearbeitet. So jetzt sind wir planen, wir planen ein Engagement Party und ein Wedding. So, ja. Sie also became...

00:33:59 Es ist also der Neues Asia-CC. Oh, das ist cool. Ja, wir haben Asia-CC und die erste Frauen-Australian-CC. Well, das ist cool. Ich weiß, wir haben viele Aussie-Folk auf den NA-Server, aber auch viele Aussie-Folk auf den Asia-Server. Es ist irgendwie das, was in der Mitte. Ja.

00:34:25 So, unfortunately, I think one of the biggest issues, if I understand correctly, is that the time gating. Like, ranked battles are only open for a certain window, or event modes might only be open for a certain window, and sometimes that window can suck for those that are down under. And sad about that. Because I think, like, I think on the SEA server...

00:34:49 It's just a little out of reach. And then on the NA server, again, it's just a little out of reach. So it's like in this weird dead zone. Right. It's not too bad seeing when I started streaming. So I started streaming, so I'm on the east coast of Australia, right? So time zone starts here now, typically. Queensland doesn't have daylight savings time. So people who live like a good eight-hour drive away was actually an hour ahead of us because...

00:35:19 Daylight Savings Time works weird that way. But we had...

00:35:25 Um, but I mean, I started streaming 10 p.m. Central Standard Time every single day. So I always start at 10 p.m. Central Standard Time. And that's because I used to live in San Antonio and I've always been the late night streamer. So for me, streaming at that time is, well, now it's 1 p.m. East Australian time. So I actually get to wake up, you know, in the morning and my mornings are actually mornings now, but I'm still able to do, I still end up doing ranked.

00:35:53 Havo is raiding with a party of 40. Thank you very much, Havo. Havo is also one of our CCs, and cool fact about him.

00:36:20 Oh, that's awesome. Holy shit. Yeah.

00:36:49 So, not currently. I have a few things I left in the States and my pilot logbook. So, anybody who ever flies, whether you fly helicopters or fixed-wing aircraft, you have a logbook. Actually, I think skydivers, parachutists, all of them have it. But you have a logbook that says the registration number of that aircraft, where you took off from, where you landed.

00:37:17 And then you'll have how many hours you flew, so like 1.5 hours, 1.3 hours, and all that's actually on a block that's kind of like your engine runtime. So we have all that. I have 32 hours away from my commercial license in the United States. In Australia, I could actually convert my license. My private license, I don't have to do anything to become a private pilot over here. My license carries over. For commercial license, I had to get it read.

00:37:44 Das ist gut, denn ich habe meine Commercial-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License-License

00:38:10 I guess you could stream from the Chopper. That would be novel. Like, if you could do that, you would get viewers. I'm quite sure on that. Well, right now, I mean, the only way I get around Australia is on a Steve R600RR. So I could always... I've seen people do delivery. They have, like, the delivery cameras on their bikes. Like, no, I'll just drive around Australia, play some Eagle Rock. And... But we can make it some fun. The Australians will know what I'm talking about for the Eagle Rock. But...

Australische Tierwelt und Patch 14.2 Ankündigungen

00:38:39

00:38:39 Well, I guess I have two other questions for you about Australia. Sure. First off, how many drop bears have attacked you? None. None? No drop bears? Mine is HMS drop bear. Mine is the HMS drop bear. Yeah. How is the wildlife? Is it as scary as people make it out to be? Is it all trying to kill you or is it just like, eh? No, so there's a few things to learn for surviving Australia. For me, at least.

00:39:08 It is, it is. Don't go play Funk Around and Find Out. In the nicest of terms. Just like in America. You don't sit there and go play with Ralstakes and go Gucci Gucci Goo and tickle underneath her fangs. How you doing there Mr. Snake? Hey, you want cuddles? No, as long as you don't play Find Out.

00:39:32 You're not going to have any issues. Don't go play in shark-infested waters. Don't go playing with snakes that you don't... It's a nope rope. It doesn't matter what kind of snake it is out here. It's the top 10 most deadliest snakes in the world. All reside in Australia. So nope. Every time you say don't go around, I keep thinking don't go away around. Oh my god, chasing waterfalls.

00:39:59 Oh, don't go chasing droppers. No. Alright, so I'm gonna kick it over to my screen. Merp. And we're gonna talk a little bit about something that just jumped in. So this patch, 14.2, has, honest to God, a lot of stuff. It has experimental ships, which is basically like a tech tree line that's not gonna be sticking around permanently.

00:40:21 It has an interesting kind of dynamic to it, so that's super cool. Also has Soviet submarines, which I have a little teaser if you haven't seen it. Part of the cool part about the commanders that are in here is we have four different voices from the North American community team on the sub-commander, the Soviet commander, and then we've got Good Sir Killerbin lent his voice.

00:40:47 to the British commander in the little skit. They did use different voices for the skit, but in the game you can hear all of us, which is pretty awesome. And not only did we have that, but we also have flagships with operations, and you can intercept some secret documents that can help you out a little bit, because the flagships being in the operations makes them actually quite a bit harder. So getting a little bit of a leg up is pretty important. So you had one, you had two, you had three, but now you have four. You have bounties await, Captain.

00:41:15 The hell is this? We'll click the button and we'll see. So if we go into the bounty section of the Armory, there's a random bundle where you can check out Monmouth. I had some pretty nice salvage on the Monmouth. Unfortunately, I've lost twice. So good luck with that. But the guns are pretty gnarly. She's got improved AP and the AP slaps.

00:41:36 As long as you're in a position to make sure that you can slap with it. Other than that, it comes with some variety of camos, and you can check out this. I think she's also available in... She's also available, I'm pretty sure, for direct... Yeah, direct buy. Yeah, direct purchase, as well as an admiral pack. So you can get the pack with all the fixings, or you can just buy her direct if you're interested in acquiring her. If not...

00:42:02 That's also okay, too. Yes, it's actually right there. It's literally on the screen, and I didn't look at it. Womp womp. So we also have bounty status. Note, it says for free, and it's got 10 hours, 30 minutes, and 22 seconds remaining. So if I want to go ahead and do this, I can obtain for free. Boop. I will put a bounty out on my own head, and as long as I can get five kills, sink five ships in random battles, I will have redeemed all that I can redeem from my bounty status.

00:42:31 And be able to get some bounty tokens that I can use. To pick up the Gade Glorious Wanderer skin. Which we can check out in the port. Because I don't think I can click a button right here. And it looks cool. Also there are some Italian fleet. Which is kind of a style that we've used in the past. There's an Italian fleet camo for the Hipper. As well as for the Senyang. And we've got actually some commanders too. We've got Robin Le Fierce. Andrew the Lip.

00:42:59 And I think there's another one that I'm not seeing. What? But she might be around there somewhere. Marissa, name I can't remember, but I'm pretty sure her first name is Marissa, because I sent content to the CCs for the patch, and I remember that because of that. Also, you can pick up some Around the World camos, and there's a flag as well. So you can not only get...

00:43:20 Bounty Tokens by being a Bounty and sinking ships. But you can also get Bounty Tokens by sinking enemy ships. You can see I already have 15, which is pretty cool. I know I got at least one Bounty in the last match we played. And you can also get them by winning a game where Bounty's on your side.

00:43:36 So, you know, get down, Mr. President. If you're able to keep your bounties alive, then you can get some tokens for that, too. So this is for anyone and everybody. Just hop on in, grab your bounty status, or you'll probably see a whole bunch of bounty statuses out in the wild, as we already did. And do the best you can. So speaking of doing bounty stuff, I've gone ahead and bountied up. And while I'd like to play the Monmouth again, I'm going to play a DD.

00:44:03 I'm going to go with the tried and true Escon special. I'm going to play the Z52. It's what I'm known for. It's a thing. It's a great DD. It is. It's a nice little boat. It's versatile. I tend to like ships that have a little bit of versatility to them. So I may not be the best in this or that thing, but you have options, and I like having options. Yeah, she's well-rounded.

00:44:29 Sie war eine meiner meisten Play-Dee-Dee für drei Monate in a row.

00:44:34 If I look up how many battles I've played in there, it's probably about 600. Granted, there are other people that have played a single ship more. There was a guy I think that I knew several years ago who was a competitive player who was in his 80s, if I recall correctly, which is pretty cool. He might even be in Bonks, actually. Merc82, I think is the guy. Anyway, he has something like over 2,000 games in a Fletcher.

00:45:04 Weil Fletcher ist, sie ist ein guter Bote. So, er hat er, er hat er viel. Ja, so wir haben alle Bounties. Ich bin ein Bounty, Clapdaddy ist nicht. Er hat einen Bounty auf den Kopf gestellt. Oh, ich habe ein Bounty. Ich habe fünf Bounties, und fünf auf der anderen Seite. Ja, bamboozled. Ja, bamboozled. Ja, ich habe ein Bounty. Du bist mein Mr. President heute.

00:45:29 Unfortunately, I'm going to be in front of you, so that's going to be pretty hard for you. Oh, the Marisa Laloca is in a mission in the Common Mission tab. Thank you very much, Grant Y. So there's actually a third pirate-themed captain, or I guess captainess, and she's available actually in combat missions. So if you go through some combat missions that are in the game, you can pick yourself up a cool commander that looks pretty awesome.

00:45:57 Do I also play on Asia server or only NA? I do play on Asia server. I do have a press account for NA, Asia, and EU. So for my community, if you guys are in one or the other, and you want to play and you want to dip up, I play with viewers all the time, and I'm more than happy to load up one of those accounts and play with you. I have seen some of your streams. You are definitely a vibe guy. And more than happy to just kind of hang out with folks. Yeah, I...

00:46:26 I've always focused more on my chat than well on my gameplay, and it definitely shows. Sometimes I just potato, I'm like, I wasn't even paying attention to the minimap or nothing. But then if I'm off-stream and I'm sitting there testing ships, then I'm way more focused, I don't have any music playing, I'm just me and the game, and I do a lot better. I was guilted into being a gameplay guy, so unfortunately, honestly, I think the only time I played in a Division...

00:46:55 um was either for it for the past several years really was for clan battles um if we're doing in in-house wargaming test stuff or on the weekly stream uh otherwise i'm pretty exclusively a solo player which aren't you also exclusively a cv ev main no not at all um so i stopped playing carriers probably about two and a half years ago and um really focused on dd play

00:47:24 So did Didi play for probably a year and a half, two years, and started working on Cruiser, and not everything is for everyone. Not everybody is a Battleship main, not everybody is a CV main, not everybody is a Submain, whatever. And getting to Cruiser, I can play it and I can do well in it, but the detection is large enough to be uncomfortable. The ability to get Citadel off the face of the earth means that you're constantly clenched. And then...

00:47:52 The last part is bloaty shells are often associated with dealing pretty significant amounts of damage. So if you're trying to be like a high damage cruiser and...

00:48:04 Ja. Ja.

00:48:32 You don't have to make a statement by playing. Just play the game and that's fine. Yeah, and there's different levels. If you want to be competitive, that's what Clan Battles and Ranges is for. I will say this, though. The Stalingrad definitely knew what you were talking about, about being squishy and showing broadside, because I chunked him for a Citadel right after that. Yeah, I noticed. He's missing quite a lot of ship. So...

00:49:00 I might be able to force a fight against the DD. Unfortunately, my smoke is down, but I am catblocking this guy, Teehee, and I've got Hydro up, so pretty soon I'm going to be able to get this dude on Hydro. I'm detected, which means...

00:49:18 Okay. Es ist schon passiert. Ich habe 6.1 Detection und eine 6-Click Hydro. All right, so... Oh, ich bin waiting für es. Na, der Bailte. So, er wird hier eigentlich, oder so. Aber, uh, ja. Ich bin still Detektiv. Er hat, um... Er hat, um... Er hat das. Okay. Ja, ich bin still Hard Detektiv. Well, D.D. Up in Peace, which means we could probably work on the Wisconsin a little. The Smoke?

00:49:47 Für die Z-52 ist der Z-52 eine Utilität ist. Und ich habe den Z-52 benutzt, aber ich habe den Z-52 benutzt. So... Ich habe den Z-52 benutzt, aber... Ich habe den Z-52 benutzt, aber... Ich habe den Z-52 benutzt, aber... Ich habe den Z-52 benutzt.

00:50:15 So I can make that stall and go back to port.

00:50:26 Oh, the Whiskey's gone. So cool. With that, I don't have to worry about getting flanked. Stalin is running, so I'm just gonna start hard charging. So I'll be your point, man. In just a moment, gotta get around this rock. Oh, we got really nothing else over here. Also, if there's a sub in the game, Wisconsin will chase it till it's sad. I do like Goomba stomping subs. I am not gonna lie, it is quite fun. Goomba's sub with Sherman when you try to come up.

00:50:53 It's just like, you know, people say, sometimes people speak really hyperbolically. You can never do this, you can never win, you can never whatever. Or like, in a game, somebody has a 5% advantage. Can't win, it's unwinnable, there's nothing you can do. It's 5%, who cares? One mistake is potentially half your health bar. Like, come on, it's fine. But, so when...

00:51:18 Okay, ich weiß, wie die CV funktioniert, ich mache was ich. Und das ist auch, wenn ich nicht, wenn ich nicht, wenn ich nicht zu spielen, weil CVs existieren kann, habe ich angefangen. So, okay, ich weiß, wie die CV funktioniert, ich mache was ich. Und das ist auch, wenn ich nicht zu spielen, okay, ich gehe zu spielen. Es ist... Es ist... Es ist... Es ist eigentlich ein Meme, Press G to Have Fun. Ich glaube, das kam von dem Blog.

00:51:44 Aber wenn du, ehrlich zu Gott, runnst du einen Sub, wenn du einen Giffen hast, fühlst du wie Vindication. D.D.'s da weg. Ich habe ihn mit Torpedos. Oh, ich habe einen Detekt, auch. Vielleicht kann ich ihn runter. Ja, er ist definitiv...

00:52:05 He launched both sets at me, so if you spot him. Sure. Well, I'm hard detected, so I'm trying to run him down. Let's see. What are we against? We're against. I just want to go broadside Del Monte and B cap. It's going to be a Shima. I have Hydro in 10. Hmm. Well, between the Shima's moving and my moving,

00:52:37 Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.

00:52:59 Ah, ja. Welp, Slip now. Shep is pretty speedy, though. I don't know if I can keep him locked on, but I do have the speed boost, so we might be able to run him down. If I could set a fire, that would be pretty nice. If he turns, he bleeds speed, so... There we go. He did turn. I'm trying to get.

00:53:27 Ich habe einen ZPD-2 mit dem Rock. Ich habe einen ZPD-2 mit mir.

00:53:55 Which I may have to hard bail. One thing AP? Can I get AP for this? Can I get AP for this? It'd be really nice if I get AP for that. One for three. Don't want to show side to a Z, because if you can give me enough to arm, the AP is going to slap.

00:54:21 Was my AP slept unfortunately, did you have to kill our DVDs? There's a stalli. That's okay. I might Siegel this one Well, I got his radar so Probably dead depends if I can accelerate All right, I should actually be dark

00:54:46 He shoots now. I think he misses over here. He does? He does. Dark? I can take shots here too, which is nice. I like the additional range for DDs, especially with having 32 mil pen. Did I get a bounty? I am a bounty, that's what it is.

00:55:15 So we have a Sfey, a Des Moines, a Garen... See, this is the way battles should go, you know. In our favor? Yeah, instead of that nonsense, there's four of us and there's ten of them. Like, yeah, this is... We got seven, they got four. I'm good with those odds.

00:55:40 Yeah, unfortunately, I mean, the fact that we only lost one DD would be nice. Green Monster is begging that Wargaming removes asymmetrical matchmaking. Oh, okay. I thought you were begging to remove asymmetrical mode in favor of Brawls. And I'm like, bro, that's going to be a tough fight to take to the community because people love asymmetrics. Yeah, I was going to say, that's like a good credit grinder right there.

00:56:07 No, he's saying eliminating asymmetrical matchmaking for the brawl mode, saying it leads to unfair capture speed and spotting. So that actually, there's a little bit of history to that. Brawls used to be called clan brawls. And so you would play clan battles for two months or so, and then there'd be some downtime where, you know, maybe you might play the reg season or just take a breather, you know, instead of playing four times a week for four hours a day.

00:56:36 And sometimes, as a filler, we would have clan brawls. But the problem is, the only people that can play clan brawls are people that are in clans. Well, before we even kind of step to that, if you're in a clan battle, you could choose what your loadout is. You have a battleship and three cruisers and three DDs or seven cruisers or seven DDs. You pick whatever your lineup is and you log in or you click the battle button and then you go do the thing. And the enemy brings whatever they bring. So clan brawl...

00:57:05 Es ist der einzige Mode, außer Clan Battles,

00:57:34 wo du kannst und haben das Asymmetrical-Match-Making mit dem Exception, ich glaube, der Training-Rooms. Du willst sehen, was Mammoth macht? Ja, du...

00:57:52 Bremdo got kind of slammed there. Alright, so you have really accurate shells. So hopefully I can juke that, but I'm just going to slow down right into him, aren't I? Yeah, it's always, it's the worst, man, when you like slow down into a hit. Does that kill us? Oh, he just slowed down into a blind citadel.

00:58:12 Well, hopefully he forwards into a blind torpedo. Q-Dumps can give you asymmetrical teams and randoms. Very nice. Very nice. Yes, Q-Dumps can cause asymmetrical stuff. Sometimes if the matchmaker is not able to match like 4DDs to 4DDs, it might be 4DDs versus 3, but one of them gets bumped up to a cruiser slot. And typically if something like that happens, they try to pull back a tier.

00:58:42 Because there's more health on the cruiser, more armor, stuff like that. But it does what it can.

00:58:52 Asymmetric line up with faildivs all the time. Well, don't faildiv. Just say no to faildiv. Although I do try to faildiv with Geishu and he gets mad at me. So he's like, no, not gonna do it. I mean, 899s are still a thing. Uh, yeah, I guess they are. That is true. You can still do it. I don't really know if you would have an expectation of faildiving at that tier just because there's so many people that play tiers 8, tiers 9, tiers 10, etc. It's more like, um...

00:59:21 Ja, es ist ein 7 oder ein 8, weil es ein 7 ist, wenn es nicht so viele Leute gibt. Oder wenn man ein 5 und ein 6 ist, kann das machen. Das kann leaden zu weirden.

Diskussion über australische Spinnen und Bounty Status

00:59:34

00:59:34 There is a fly in here. Not a fly. Not a fly. No. I'll tell you one thing, the bugs down here, they're not shy and chomping. I hear that Australian spiders are like the size of dinner plates, and that sounds terrifying. No, no, actually, you get this. You know the most venomous spider in the world is the Sydney Funnelweb Spider? It's a what? Sydney Funnelweb Spider. Okay.

01:00:04 So there's one that just was found in Newcastle, which is which the scientists have named. What is it? It's twice the size of.

01:00:23 The Sydney Funnelweb, but they called it the Big Boy, I think. That's what it is. That's literally what they named it. The Big Boy Funnelweb. And it's twice the size. So, as far as spider stuff goes, I actually got arachnophobia as a kid from a movie called Arachnophobia. That's such a goofy movie. It is, but I was a kid, so like, I mean, ah!

01:00:49 And I actually overcame arachnophobia because I played League of Legends and I really liked the character Elise. Elise is a woman that can turn into a spider form. And I don't know, I just thought the character was super cool. So I decided like, yes, this weirds me out, but I'm going to play the character. And I don't know, I just kind of moved past it. I won't say that if I saw a dinner plate sized spider, just vibing on the wall. So like, I'm pretty sure I would run the hell out of the room, but.

01:01:19 Outside of that, it was good. Nah, the ones that are really big are the Huntsmen, and they're just like goofy puppy dogs. Yeah, I heard they're just super chill. They have Kraken energy. They're very fast and very bouncy. Yeah, they get the zoomies, but they aren't really aggressive.

01:01:49 Okay. Well, good news. There's other stuff to talk about. All right. I'll send you lots of videos after this. Oh, yeah. You'll be fine. So I'm going to block you on Discord. Got it. All righty. Well, there is other stuff to hang out. We got to check out some bounty status. I was able to get a kill. I think I actually got a kill on an enemy bounty. Did it say? I think I got the thing.

01:02:16 Bounty hunter. Commemorative achievement. Destroy an enemy ship designated as a bounty while helming a bounty ship. Can be obtained several times per battle. So, booyah. Bountied up a bounty. Bounty wall bounty. Whatever. I'm sure there's a way to make a terrible pun with that. So, let's talk about some of the other stuff that's out there. We have Soviet submarines. We have experimental ships. And then we have flagship...

01:02:41 Flagships and Operations. So first off, I'm going to throw it over to a silly funtastic teaser for two commanders that recently entered into the game. And then let's check out some subs. So I'll see you in just a bit.

01:03:02 Comrade Konofolow, Shubsis 1, L-20 and K-1 have arrived at our top secret base. Stand ready to defend our motherland. So, there's a secret base after all. And to think I almost believed you. It is I, Montgomery Cavendish Wellington, and I believe you just revealed your top naval secret. Monty!

01:03:31 What is this treachery? I do have to admit I was a bit caught by surprise to find out you were developing a secret base behind our backs. I thought we had a peace agreement, Comradin. It's Commander Comradin to you, Montgomery. Commander Comradin, what is the status of the operation? Tovarege Kanabala, the enemy has crawled right into our trap.

01:03:58 Excellent, just as plan. Unleash the submarines.

01:04:14 Is that Bogsy on the left? It sure is for the commander. The video team, when they were doing that, I think they had to make some changes and stuff and going back and forth, getting our voices and going, all right, et cetera. You know, it takes some time. So I think they did some voicey. But if you'll notice, I've gone into the settings menu, gone over to audio, and normally I have Statue of Liberty because that voiceover is near and dear to my heart. First off, it is Mrs. Bogsy.

01:04:43 So, that's pretty cool. But also, I got to direct the voice lines there. So, I did direction. I also did some editing for the audio. So, that's pretty cool. So, I played with some Statue of Liberty for a long time. But, I'm going to play the UK's Daring. And potentially go sub hunting. Because Clappin' Cheeks is going to be sharking around in a sub. So, I'm going to pick Monty Cavendish Wellington. I assume the third Esquire. I don't know.

01:05:10 But I'm going to pick him because that is good, sir, Captain Killerbin. And he is available if you pick up the seal. I think the seal is available in a random bundle or you can pick her up in an Admiral pack and you can check her out that way. Let me double check that I have all this. I don't. Heresy. I don't have the HP flag on because I haven't enabled it since.

01:05:32 All righty, so I've got a pretty kicking Hydro, and I've got some really nice depth charges, so if I can climb on top of a sub, I can make his day. And we've got Clap Daddy kicking in a K1, and we'll get to see what craziness he's got going. So I will show Clap Daddy's stream, but please note, because it's being funneled in through Aussie timey-wimey weirdness or whatever, unfortunately I don't have the audio from the stream, so it'll just be us talking and vibing.

01:05:59 Und ich hoffe, das ist gut genug für dich. Insert smooth jazz elevator music in die background. Du, du, du, Duke Nukem 3D hat Brown Eyed Girl als its, like, background music for a little while, while I was in testing. In it? Yep. Alright.

01:06:23 All right. Esquire? Killer Ben is a barrister? I don't know what any of those terms mean. I just know it's... You tack it on to make the name as gigantic as possible. Oh, yes. Montgomery Cavendish Wellington I. Esquire. So... Better British... Better British sound than I can make. I'm not good with accents. I...

01:06:51 Well, I've said this a few times. I'm autistic. Rawr. I got diagnosis in high school. Woot. So I sucked at body gestures and reading all that stuff. I did a little bit of studying on acting and I also like watching movies and stuff. So, I mean, I picked up a fair amount over time. But what I always enjoyed, even as a kid, I liked listening to sounds. So I liked listening to tone of voice or...

01:07:17 Und ich habe meine Besten zu re-create ihn. So, wenn ich eine Bands oder etwas bin, ich würde mich imitieren. Und ich würde ihn imitieren. Boxy, ich denke, hat einen tollen Imitations. Wo er nicht nur die voice ist, aber er ist die Charakter. Und ich mache immer das. Although, wenn ich Dungeons & Dragons mache, und ich kann die Charakter spielen, dann kann ich die beiden.

01:07:46 You know, that was something I've always wanted to do, is play D&D. I've never played it. I've always wanted to. No, I've been wanting to play so bad. I have literally considered a Warships D&D game with some CCs and shit. So, if that ever happens... You better call me. I'll be so upset if you don't. I'll be so mad.

01:08:09 You get no sub play ever again for me. You don't get no subs. I do also, I have an idea of like, I was, part of what a community manager does is, you know, we'll come up with cool events and things. Like currently, if you're on our World of Warships Discord, discord.gg front slash wows, or any of our other language discords, there is a...

01:08:36 so if yours ended up getting picked you could potentially get a lot of people playing your plan on your skin which is super cool so we run events

01:09:01 that people can partake in, have fun, get engaged with. We have Christmas events where you fill out letters to Santa and other things. And one of my ideas for events, because I do enjoy D&D, was like, well, what if we came up with a story? And depending on, players can interact with it however they want. They can do a little of this, they can do a little of that.

01:09:28 Let's see, if I can get a fire, I might be able to see this, too. Nah, it's just not going to happen. It's fine. It should go dark pretty soon with the smoke, though. Because, like, if you have... Part of the charm of Dungeons & Dragons is having many options, many possible way outs, and coming up with how you think that might end up working. Ooh, we have a double sub div. Rockin'.

01:09:55 So I might be able to juke this, but I might not, because I've already burned my damage con. So it's going to come down to how hard I can swing. I might end up hitting this one. I think I will. But I'll hit the brakes and others will go by, but then I've got even more happening. But I think that ping is faded. Oh, buddy! Alright, dancing with death right now. So we have double sub over here with a Yamagiri on top of it, which means I'm not really going to be able to run the sub down.

01:10:24 Für a Saad. No, but the Republic is going to have a bad day right now. Oh yeah, the Republic is having a rough day. So we have a heal, we have another heal after this. Did I not take Consumable Expert? Very sad. I think I should have had three heals. And if we're able to sweep away some of the surface situation, then I can absolutely try to run these dudes down. Which would be quite cool.

01:10:57 Someday, um, will you be able to have a chance to play Submarines on Operations? Uh, because training in co-ops and random isn't really a good step for Submarine players. So we did announce in the Waterline, uh, video that we put out that we're looking at some training operations for, like, lower tiers. Um, Submarines start at Tier 6, though, so I don't know if that's necessarily... Ooh! I just got a Torp on an Archerfish. Gnarly.

01:11:27 Ja, jetzt habe ich ihn gewonnen. Ich habe ihn. Ich habe ihn. Da ist ein Mecklenburg hinter ihm, das ist schwer. Und die andere DD ist hier. Oder die andere Sub, rather. Hab Hydro für ein bisschen. Wie geht's dir, buddy? Wie geht's dir? Ist dir noch ein DD hier? Hab guns! Shooting ein bisschen zu far in front.

01:11:59 Bruh, this dude just committed to the surface life.

01:12:05 Hey, I mean, if that's the way he wants to play it, then so be it. Yeah, whatever. I'm more than happy to see his health bar disappear. So the Archerfish is bailing. I have a 3-click Hydro, but I'm pretty sure he's gone. Yeah, we see some Torps, so this dude's out on the way. And we still have the Yamagiri out there, just kind of like linebacking for the subs. At least the Mecklenburg is bailing, though.

01:12:31 And if the Thunder and Monty are able to work them over pretty good, then I might be able to start hard shoving. Still down half health, which is kind of tough. We did actually have an operation that subs could use. It was Operation... It's been a little while. Chat. Chat, you got me on this one. Operation... Something.

01:12:59 Oh, it's been a week, man. It's been a week and a half, actually, is what it's been. It's been a week and a half.

01:13:07 No! Well, whatever. We had an operation, and it was initially just going to be for one update. It was going to appear when submarines were officially released, and then it would be gone at the end of the update. Just like, you know, we have a variety of mission or events or whatever that'll show up, and then they stop. So, there we go. There's an archer fish. How you doing, buddy? I might be able to get one round of shells into him, but I think he's going to be able to... No, he hard turns. That's fine. We're going to pop a smoke. We have all sorts of smokes to be able to skirmish in this thing.

01:13:37 Mecklenburg ist still bailing. Oh, got him.

01:13:45 Ich habe einen Sub-Down. Du solltest die A-Cap, wenn du willst. Ich könnte, aber ich könnte auch die Archer-Fisch. Du könnt. Ich werde ihn runter. Ich werde ihn mitnehmen. Ich werde ihn mitnehmen. Ich werde ihn mitnehmen. Ich werde ihn mitnehmen. Ich werde ihn mitnehmen. Weil, wenn die Archer-Fisch und die Yamagiri zusammenhängen, dann ist es ein viel zu tun. Ich werde ein Smoke kommen. Ich werde ein Hydro kommen.

01:14:12 All right, well, he's going to dive. He's already diving, so it's not really to my benefit to just straight up open fire, because then the Yamagiri might keep me lit, but I can keep moving. And he did torpedo dump, which means we can try to chase this. Mecklenburg's still bailing. There he is. Yeah. What did you find? He popped up, but he's just going to go down again, and he didn't actually get the ping, so it's a little tough for him. There's the Yamagiri. How you doing, buddy?

01:14:42 So Yamagiri is hard lit in front of you, as well as the Utrecht. I have a smoke if I want to use it. Aw, I shot wrong. Shot wrong. It's got a good hard turn on that ship. Wish I'd... Eh, we're fine. She was hard lit again. The Yamagiri? Yeah. I think I actually turned into that port, but maybe not.

01:15:17 How you doing? How's your mom and them? This is a guy I used to work with. I always like saying that. How's your mom and them? Yeah. I don't think this Yamagiri is going to have a good day. No, I think he's having a bad day. Unfortunately, the sub is getting further away, so I'm personally very distraught about that. But I think I'm going to force the spot on this guy. I'm forcing the spot, too. That's where having sound is helpful. I would have heard the torps coming in.

01:15:47 I have a headset on, but only to hear clap. I don't actually hear game sound, because it's all being sent to the...

01:15:54 Oh, I wanted the gun kill with it. Sorry. Well, the thing that I'm saddest about is I didn't run down the Archerfish, so I gave my life for you. You better get that sub. I also have a Mecklenburg to thirst after. Well, that is true. You have a Mecklenburg that you might be able to go because he turned around. He's getting aggressive again. It's still slightly in our favor.

Wolfpack Operation und Community-Feedback

01:16:23

01:16:23 Is he trying to push the Monty? Wolfpack. That's it. Chat had it. I think that was like four minutes ago. I was too invested in the game. But yes, Wolfpack. Wolfpack was the operation where you could play some subs. And Community, that's your CMs. You will not take that operation. You will leave that in. And it did get to stick around for a good long time. But unfortunately, it's not available now.

01:16:52 Ja, das wäre eine gute Idee, um es zu bringen, mit der Reise einer TechTree sub-Line. Ich glaube, es wäre absolut wunderbar, oder sogar besser, ich denke, wenn wir es so, wenn man eine Operation in eine Sub-Line queuete, wenn man nur eine Operation hat, kann man eine Sub-Line nutzen. Aber es ist einfach nicht so, dass wir nicht so, dass wir noch nicht so machen können.

01:17:17 Remove the 3km damage. Unfortunately, I think that's unlikely outside of some kind of larger rework or some kind of bigger change. The 3km damage change is because if you think about what torpedoes are, torpedoes are slow compared to shells, a slow, high-threat weapon. And that does mean that you can launch torpedoes because they tend to take a long amount of time to try to have a target interaction.

01:17:45 If they miss, I mean, you had a high damage weapon that wasn't able to connect. So the uncertainty, the skill shot nature of it kind of requires a fair amount of time. And ships being as big as they are, they also have a lot of inertia. So they need a bunch of time to be able to try to make a move or to turn or speed up or slow down. So the three kilometers kind of makes it where if you want to get full damage, you're going to launch from a distance where it's like a 12 to 15 second lead time.

01:18:15 It's not that bad. It's certainly doable. And there were even concerns from some very skilled players when the change was coming through. Ah, this isn't going to change anything. Subs are still going to do all the damage and kill all the things. But then the change came out. And 12 to 18 seconds of lead time is tough. It's not easy. So if you want to get the full damage, you need to be playing around that, maybe not medium range, but...

01:18:38 so you can make sure that your torps are getting good value and you also need to make sure that you're not getting too close because if you get too close you may not have the damage to be able to get yourself out of the fight you have to be super sneaky and run and outside of like one sub that's pretty speedy underwater a lot of subs are not so speedy underwater so

01:19:02 You really have to manage your positioning and figure out how you want to have those interactions, because you don't take fights very well if you're spotted.

01:19:16 I'm not really sure what that's in reference to. Buddy, I don't know why he decided to go down. I'll take it. Well, the Monty's so far off that he might not be able to get... He could just get depth charges, but it would be too far. I always enjoyed trying to get the pings underwater. Get your homing torps to lock on and take out other subs. Yeah.

01:19:45 Das ist das was ich liebe, ich liebe Subhunting. Ja, da waren Leute sagten mit dem 3 Kilometer Ding, dass es unmöglich ist, aber ich habe nie wirklich erwartet, zu fighten Subz in 3 klicks. Das war wirklich gut. Es ist nicht so schlecht.

01:20:06 Well, he's running. I gotta trust you. I wasn't able to take out the subs, so you gotta do it. It's on you. Although if you eat a torp, it'll be funny. Nah, I won't be able to get him with a torp.

01:20:23 Interesting. We do have staff rounds. Drops only started to add after 7 EST. You think someone at Wargaming forgot to account for the time change. Well, the time change has... UTC, Universal Time Code, hasn't changed. How everybody sets their clocks in relation to Universal Time Code is up to how they do things in their local area. So...

01:20:51 In North America, currently it's 6 o'clock.

01:20:55 Das ist nicht wirklich der Fall, wenn man die Timey-Wimey macht. Also, wir hatten eine spezielle Woche heute, eine International Women's Day stream, wo wir auf eine Guest haben, Sarah Diehl, der erste Marine Pilot war, was super cool ist. Sie war wirklich toll. Sie sollte definitiv check out die VOD, wenn Sie nicht die Chance haben. Und ich glaube, es war ein Drop associated mit dem, oder vielleicht war es nur die General Channels Drop. Ich bin nicht ganz sicher.

01:21:23 But there were certainly a lot of people... It's really great if you get the double ping. Because it makes the torps, they don't go unguided until like the last moment. If that's possible. Universal time coordinated, not universal time code.

01:21:52 Well, that's like almost the same thing, because Coordinated has C, O, D, and an E in it.

01:21:59 In the same order, even. So, like, it's close. It's pretty close. And you didn't get the archfisch, but you got him dead. So that's good enough. You did the job. Good shit, sir. Thanks, bud. Should increase speed by 10% and add more maneuverability to the subtorps than the 3km removed for sub-on-sub-fighting. Well, here's what I can do for you. Here's the best thing that I can suggest for you.

01:22:27 Talking about it on a Twitch stream is, I'm the only person here. Normally we have a producer and a second host. We have a second host, but he's a CC in Australia, so he's a ways away. So I'm not really able to pull out my pen and notepad and write all this feedback down and write a report on it. What we do is we take feedback from our feedback areas, and one of our areas is our Discord.

01:22:53 Discord.gg front slash wows. So go ahead and hop on over to the Discord. We have not only the main chatting areas, but we have some forums. We have a general forum. We also have a feedback forum. If you make a post in the feedback forum, go ahead and say, you know, hey, I think Submarine Torps should be changed in this way. This is why I think it gives some examples. And that way other people can.

01:23:16 Check out your idea and go like, yeah, yeah, I see that, I agree with it, I want that, or nah, I don't like that because of this. So having that larger discussion helps us when we're escalating feedback, when we're saying, hey, there's a thousand people that are just super interested in this topic. This is what everybody has to say. We can put out a bullet point list and links to reference examples and stuff. That's what is very useful for us when kicking it up the chain.

01:23:42 So I would absolutely suggest that the best place to put that, although it's nice to talk about in Twitch, I mean, it's fun, we're talking about it now, but the best place to put it's going to be on the Discord, because the Discord is an official feedback place, and everybody can talk about it there. Yes, I'm sure the fine folks on Discord would love to discuss sub-ballots. Well, subs can be a spicy topic, that is true, but...

01:24:10 Again, the best place to have that conversation is where other people can chime in and speak as well. So the Discord is quite useful for it. And if you find somebody, they don't want to have that sub-conversation and they get a little spicy, make sure to reach out to a moderator for some assistance. Alrighty. We got to see some sub-play. You got to do some stuff. I think we got both of the subs. The div, was it? Yeah, the division, I think. Yeah, we got the div.

Experimentelle Schiffe und Gameplay-Mechaniken

01:24:37

01:24:37 We persevered. Rawr. So we got to see some subplay. That still leaves us with two other aspects that we haven't touched yet, which are the experimental ships, which are entered with 14-2, and they're going to be around until 14-7. As well, we have operations with flagships. So why don't we check out experimental ships? Now, I actually sent you a few dubs that greased the wheels.

01:25:02 We're looking at your screen. Why don't you show us where the experimental ships are and you can maybe unlock one of them. Alright. Well, yeah. So you go into your tech tree and on the bottom left hand side you'll see underneath all your nation's experimental ships and in there you'll have which I just started working on. I have the Mets down. But you'll have these combat missions to complete.

01:25:29 Be able to research all your...

01:25:33 Research the rest of your ship here. Wait, wait, wait, wait. What's up? You just bought things with action reports and credits before you were getting used to balloons, like derp. I'm so used to clicking things that are yellow and red. Well, don't worry. Look, you have, I think, 20 action reports right now, and you have 86 million credits, so why don't you click the complete research with some dubs and click the button, boop. I booped it.

01:26:02 If we check, your action reports went up to 120, and your credits went up to 90 million. So if you happen to do some of the free-to-play progress into a ship, you use some action reports, you use some credits, and you're unlocking the ship in stages, and for some reason you're just like, man, I want to play this ship, and you go ahead and use some doubloons, you'll get the action reports back. You'll get the credits back. So just because you put them in there doesn't mean they're gone forever. If you chose to use doubloons, it's okay. You will get those refunded.

01:26:31 Und du kannst sie für den nächsten Schiff, wie die die auf dem Schiff auf dem Schiff jetzt. Well, full disclosure, ich denke, ich habe nur 7,000. Give me 5,000.

01:26:41 Well, I guess I owe you one. So you could unlock it on the stream. But yeah, so you have some action reports and a few extra credits you can chip into the tier 10. You want to start working on that. I think as far as the grind that's needed to get these experimental ships, it's something around the size of like tech tree. It's either tech tree 8 to 10 or just tech tree line in general. It does take a little while to get through them, but you can unlock them for free and play. So.

01:27:09 Have you clapped, Addy? Have you gotten a chance to play some experimental ships? And if so, what have you thought about them? I have played them. Honestly, not a super fan. I do like the idea. Being perfectly honest, I'm really not a fan of having the super heals are nice. And I understand the reasoning for it. The reasoning of having the fight or flight in there.

01:27:38 Unfortunately, if you're playing a Cruiser and you get up tiered to a tier 10 and they just happen to have a nice big screw you kind of CV on the other side that has a thirst affinity for Cruisers, your Mets is not going to survive getting anywhere. Unless you try to, even if you try to drop your super kill right away. So if you have a CV player who liked the thirst after a Cruiser in your game, the Mets is very much going to have a bad day.

01:28:07 Well, all right. Challenge accepted. I got to play some Mets now. You want to play it? Yeah, so go ahead and pick a Tier VI and go ahead and look at some Mets stuff. Because you brought it up, because I'm the CB guy or whatever, I'm going to swap over to my screen. We're going to look at some AA here. We're going to check out what the options are. All right, so we've got 56 DPS at long range. That sucks.

01:28:36 Not really much of a way around that. That's pretty poor. To give you a concept, the Holland, I think it is, has about 200 DPS out at range. The San Diego, I think like 150-ish. So, I mean, the 56, not so great. It does get bolstered at 3 kilometers, but again, 35, pretty terrible. It's only really dealing with like bombers, dive bombers, stuff that's directly over your ship.

01:29:01 That 2.5 is where you start to get any kind of number that's going to kick in. So, turret traverse. I'm just looking at the little recommended triangles. 22 seconds. Yeah, we'll do the turret traverse. That's fine. Speed boost. Good for that. It's always nice to have the extra health. I do want the extra heal. Concealment, yes. Adrenaline rush, yes. And I can meme it up here. Take the two AA talents for the lulz.

01:29:29 Das bleibt mir mit zwei. Was würde ich mit das tun? Probably Gunfeeder. Du, du, du, ever have your, um, did you ever have your stuff knocked out? Like, uh, engine, rudder, whatever? Just, sometimes when you're playing a cruiser, like, you're, uh... Doesn't happen as often, but for me to want to use it. Alright, Consumable Specialist it is. So, I'm gonna take Focus Fire Training.

01:29:53 Because one, when I use Priority Sector, it makes the instantaneous damage do a little more. So that's independent of your continuous damage. You just hit the planes a little more. It's also going to increase Priority Sector reinforcements. Instead of just giving you a 50% increase, it's going to go up to 75. So that's nice. It's like a 50% extra oomph. And I'm also going to go with AA Defense and ASW Expert. One, because it gives some more AA.

01:30:18 Sure. But also, if there's a CV that is coming after me, while my AA is shooting, my consumables are going to reload 50% faster. Which means these heals that I have will reload faster. So, that and also a fighter. So, if he wants to come at me, he's ideally only going to be able to come at me once instead of multiple times. So, I'll prep myself. I'll brace for impact. Against enemy CVs. And do we have... I don't think there's a...

01:30:46 I don't think there's a permacamo for this. Oh, I can't mount a camo. Aw, well, that's too bad. We'll find them. I won't mount a camo. I'm sorry, what was that? April Fool something? Yeah, do you remember last year the April Fool's camos for the pinata party?

01:31:11 The sprinkles stuff. Yeah, the sprinkles. Alright. I don't love those camas. For a full on maximum meme, I could take defensive fire. But that would only give me plus 50%. And these values are so low that plus 50%. I don't know if that's the difference between a plain kill or not. So, meh. Alright, whatever. I'd rather watch out for torpedoes. See?

01:31:40 Ich bin sicher, aber es ist gut. Alright, wir werden die Sache machen, wir werden die Experimental Ships spielen. Was ist interessant über Experimental Ships?

Gameplay-Design und experimentelle Schiffe

01:31:54

01:31:54 Not everybody that plays World of Warships is a gamer. And what do I mean by that? There are a lot of people that like to play because they like ships. They like the theme. They like the pace. They like the atmosphere. But they're not gamers in the sense that they don't play on consoles. They don't play 20 different games. They don't have 1200 hours of Call of Duty and all other stuff going on. They just like the game. It's fun. And as a result, if you see Game Mechanics,

01:32:24 Das ist interessant für einen Gamer. Das ist nicht interessant für einen Non-Gamer. Oder jemanden, der nicht hyper-spezialisiert ist. Mit den Experimental Ships gibt es ein Talent in der Game called Adrenalin Rush. Die höheren your Health geht, die schneller you can shoot. So, es gibt einen Vorteil in die Höhe. Das bedeutet, dass man sich ein Streamer anschaut, dass sie ein paar Dinge nehmen. Oder eher, sie nehmen sie ein paar Damage und dann einfach nicht reparieren.

01:32:52 You just kind of let it sit for a little while. There's no CV, so we're good there. And they'll do that so that they can shoot a little bit faster and kind of, they get that, it's called min-maxing. They're getting the absolute most benefit that they can with what they have. So, okay, that's cool. Well, what if there's an experimental ship line that kind of like dials it up to 11 with this adrenaline rush concept? You know, really just goes hard with it.

01:33:20 It's kind of gamer-y, it's kind of mechanic-y, but that could be cool. This is a game, right? So we have an experimental ship line where the lower your health is, you shoot a little faster. And actually we can look at this if I hit the thing. It's called fight or flight. You shoot faster, in this case 12% faster, because I start the game with less than full health. And also it helps my dispersion. So a big goal for me is going to be able to manage my health at like 25% to 50%.

01:33:50 without getting wrecked. Because obviously if I get wrecked, then it doesn't mean a damn thing. I'm gone. So oof. It's a high gamble. Yeah, so it's the risk-reward balance. So this is absolutely a ship made for the gamer's gamer. If I had like a coffee cup or something, I could do a salute. But it may not be for everybody. I mean, if you just want to log in and enjoy some cool classic...

01:34:19 Schiff, Schiff, Schiff, Schiff, Schiff, Schiff, Schiff, Schiff, Schiff, Schiff, Schiff, Schiff, Schiff, Schiff, Schiff, Schiff, Schiff, Schiff, Schiff, Schiff, Schiff, Schiff, Schiff, Schiff, Schiff, Schiff, Schiff, Schiff.

01:34:44 As I literally said earlier in the stream, I was playing Cruisers and I did okay, but maybe it wasn't my jam. This style of ship is absolutely going to be not everybody's jam because it's a very unique playstyle. And you actually mentioned it's not really your gig. No. I don't mind doing it with battleships, but Cruisers are just kind of a different animal to play that.

01:35:12 Oh, yeah. Just because, like you said earlier, when you're like, well, I don't like playing Cruisers because you show Broadside and then you just delete us. Yeah, pretty much. Cruisers can be a little puckering, you know? They are, but they're definitely high risk, high reward, though. You can do a lot of DPM with them. The highest game I had with the Monmouth was two days ago or a day and a half ago. I got like 22,000 damage with it. It's a good ship.

01:35:42 Wie geht es mit den Metz? Es ist nicht ein schlechtes Schiff, ich habe einfach nicht mehr als die Hälfte in den Beginn des Spiels. Für mich, als CC und als Late-Night-CC ist, wir werden targetet. Wir sehen ein CC in den Spiel, und wir werden targetet. Nicht, wie, horribly, aber definitiv, definitiv mehr als Ihr average, als Ihr average Spieler.

01:36:10 So, being targeted when you have, you know, your health that low on a cruiser is... Yeah, if the first thing that you do when you load into a match is go ahead and pop the heal, which is a fine strategy if that's what you want to do, then you're kind of removing what the ship is.

01:36:34 So, if you're not going to play the ship in the way that it's designed, you can just play a different ship. Yeah, no point at that point. So, there are ship lines or whatever that don't necessarily click for me, so I just don't play them. And it's basically the same thing for this. I think there are some more experimental ships. Not the three that are out now, but I think there are some more that are...

01:37:03 ein bisschen mehr Secondary-Focussed. Sie sind currently im Testen, also Sie sehen sie in randomen Battles, einmal oder zweitens. Aber, um, es ist eher so, was-if-brawl? So, es ist wirklich eine Möglichkeit für uns zu...

01:37:25 Kind of be a little more arcadey, I guess you could say. And just sort of see what's possible. Because we have... A big part of what this game is, is making decisions. And the decisions are often complicated by game mechanics, factors, a lot of stuff that you have to think about at any given time. And...

01:37:51 Sometimes gamers just really like mechanical stuff. Are we going to be able to hit the hiper with that? Feeling good about it. A little too high. It's too bad.

01:38:01 Somebody asked, do you actually believe what you're saying? So I like talking about system design and like the reasons why you might do something from a gameplay perspective and like that's what this is. This is taking something a little further to the nth degree. So hey, Adrenaline Rush is cool.

01:38:27 Das ist das, was das ist.

01:38:50 So it's purely here for gameplay, so you can poke around and have fun. Alright, so I can keep working on this Tennessee. How big are these guns? Are these 406s? They're .305s, so I think we should go with Ichi here.

Feedback-Mechanismen und Gameplay-Entscheidungen

01:39:10

01:39:10 To the terror guy. I'm telling you, man. If you want to make that case, please make it in Discord. Because turning Twitch chat is not going to be something that we can elevate. It's not very easy to cite. At 45 minutes and 72 seconds in Twitch chat, somebody said this on a report. It's much easier to cite a post.

01:39:37 Es gibt einen Link, und dann kann man sich alle anderen responding zu sehen. Ich denke, du bist dead. Weil es ein paar Menschen gibt, aber vielleicht kann man einen mit dir nehmen.

01:39:51 We'll be okay. Fine, fine. We'll be fine. I mean, there's a lot of them. But not insignificant amount. Alright, so I'm going to go ahead and pop a heal here. We still have four left. Just trying to massage this. And do I have the ability? Oh, damn it. So, I do have the ability to do a burst fire. But the burst fire has extremely reduced range. So, like, we go from 18 clicks.

01:40:20 So our ability to get brawly requires us to be very close in order to do it.

01:40:32 So, no Brawley for me. Maybe I can help you with this Hipper, though. I think that's a fairly decent... I didn't expect him to beach. You got him? You got him? You gonna live? Yep. Live! No, I'm not gonna live, but I'm gonna take him with me. Oh, you took the Tennessee? Alright, cool. Well, I might have the Hipper here. In fact...

01:41:00 I'm going to go ahead and burst fire the hipper because he's within 10.5. So... Thanks, Gil. Got him. All right. Hey, look, I sat there and was your meat shield and bullet sponge for... I appreciate it. I mean, that's literally something that battleships can do is they can go in and they can just force everybody to deal with you. It's risky and it can certainly get you wrecked, but it's...

01:41:27 Very nice thing when you are able to make it work. I think I gotta go for the hood here. So our health is a little higher than it could be, so our dispersion is not as good as it could be. But I think we're gonna be able to take the fight to the hood here.

01:41:50 Although, was if we swap over to AP, because he's showing some scythe, and we go for some burst shell in here? What if we try to make that happen? I mean, the Mets is based off the Toulon, yeah? I think so, yeah. It is. And the Toulon's AP is great. French AP is just good in cruisers. It's not a little too low. In battleships.

01:42:16 Bad times. So, lots of DDs doing DD stuff. Just too much threat on the field. I think I still have to go for the hood here.

01:42:34 Und ich sollte auf He ge ge ge ge ge ge ge ge ge ge ge ge ge ge ge ge ge

01:42:51 A few too many shells coming in. We got two kills. We had one million potential damage tank. But I do want to point out, I had three heals remaining. I think I got two heals off out of five. So if I had used two heals in the very beginning of the match, I wouldn't have had as much reload reduction. I wouldn't have had as good a dispersion. But I probably would have gotten another one or two heals off. So this is that...

01:43:19 How can you play the ship where you're staying in that 25 to 50% health without getting shoved off the table? And in that case, you know, I had another 30 seconds till my next heal. So having shells coming in from a Tashkent, having shells coming in from an Akazuki, also dealing with a battleship, it just, it was too much. If I had maybe backed off and some shells were going at some other friendly cruisers or I was able to kind of massage it in a situation where maybe I could break detection.

01:43:48 und zu bleiben, um es zu bleiben, um es zu bleiben. Cool. Aber in diesem Fall, ich bin nicht in der Threat, oder nicht in der Threat, bis ich in der Threat war, schneller als ich erwartet habe, und ich einfach nicht in der Threat war. Das ist die Art, die du hast, wenn du die Experimental Ships hast, und du hast die absoluten Worte gemacht.

01:44:15 You want to go through every single heal and get as much potential damage, get as much output as you can, while still being able to make the most out of your attribute. And it's hard. So, this is what it is. Okay, so we got to check out some experimental ships. I don't think we win this. I don't think so either. Yeah. Oh well. Our cruisers kind of hung back when the DDs were spotted for a little longer than they should have.

Operationen mit Flaggschiffen und Community-Aktionen

01:44:40

01:44:40 Ja, high risk, high reward ships. Alright, so that leaves us with one other thing I believe that we have not checked out today. We have not checked out Operations with Flagships. Do you play Operations? Not usually. I prefer to get my hands dirty. I think a little more with randoms. I think Gaishu actually had never played Operations until he was on stream, so he got his very first...

01:45:06 You know, baptism by fire on stream. I think the last time I actually played Operations was two Halloweens ago when y'all needed help and some of the CCs jumped in there and helped you guys. That was the last time. Oh, well, rah. So speaking of, if anybody would like to join a division, we could play some...

01:45:28 We could play some operations. So we can take, I think it's up to six. There were some people saying that right now divisions only work for up to six for the mode, even though you can take seven in there. So maybe that's been addressed. Maybe that's been changed, but I haven't heard anything on that front. So my assumption is that we can go up to six at the moment. So if you'll send a message to Esconce, I'll be able to add you to the div. So chat's being a little rough on me.

01:45:54 He's saying that Clap's not able to speak because the sconce gets paid like he's writing a book. The more he talks, the more he gets paid. I'm just trying to be a host. I tend to fill air if I can. And that way, if Clap wants to contribute, he's more than welcome to. But if he wants to just kind of lay back and vibe, I can fill the space a little bit.

01:46:23 I'm just going through what you got on the list here of things that we're doing. Yep. Yep. All right, well, how about I do this? While we're waiting to see if anybody wants to send me over a message, there is a big event for CC Clyde Plays Live, and it's actually happening this Saturday. I did a bit for it in this chair, in fact, so hopefully you'll enjoy that. The two bits that I did previously while presenting an award, I...

01:46:52 I did a standard presentation. Oh, cool. We got one. We got Wowzandy. And let me change actually to the flagship mode. There you go. We can get some more people in here. And I did a bit where I read, you know, I had a Taco Bell napkin. So I read the winner from the Taco Bell napkin. And then last year I did the, you know, like, my name is Troy McClure. Whatever, I did that one. I did it.

01:47:19 Esconce McClure in the Troy voice. So he put me in the Simpsons area. So that was fun. And I did something which hopefully is cheesy enough that people will enjoy. But anyway, I'm going to kick it over to a little Clyde Plays Golden Barnacles promo thing. And then we'll take whoever we've got and we will play some Operations with Flagships. So I will see you guys in just a bit. Hey everyone, my name is Clyde Plays and I want to invite you to the third annual Golden...

01:47:49 My phone is blowing up. Why? I've got people texting me about Barneys stuff. That's how cool this is. The Barneys are an award show just like the Oscars, except we give out Pixel trophies to our favorite Pixel Boats that came out in the last year. This year we've got a whole slew of special guests presenting awards and some others who are going to be doing special presentations during the show. It's going to be a lot of fun. I really hope that you'll choose to join me on twitch.tv slash ClydePlaysLive Saturday, March 15th. Thanks, everybody.

01:48:30 Super loud. Yeah, I don't mind.

01:48:35 Golden Barnacles! Clyde Plays Recorded, yes he is. Okay, oh, I can't go in the Mets because it's a Tier VI. It's got to be Tier IX or up. Well, fine then. All right, well, I'm going to go ahead, actually, and I will play an Experimental Ship in the Operations, because you can. Because these are effectively just a Tech Tree line that's temporary, but it's effectively a Tech Tree line, and you can play Tech Tree Ships in Operations, and we're going to play this one too. What are you going to play? Good Sir Clap.

01:49:05 I mean, I would love to play that, but I don't have enough to bloom. Oh no, I got upset wiener dogs. You just unlocked the tier 9. Oh, I did. I did. Since I was giving so much grief about it, watch me end up doing really good with it now. Well, it's got 406s on a cruiser, which is pretty spicy. It is a Borodino upgraded.

01:49:34 Das ist ein Cruiser. Ja, lass mich.

01:49:40 We already have a 10 in here. If you want to play in Oregon, you can. So it's up to you. I don't have money for Oregon. Yes, that's right. I keep forgetting. Wow, so mean. I'm usually streaming with other Wargaming people and we have the content so we can show it on the stream. So like, I'm coming from the wrong place. Sorry you got the teamy version of a co-host there.

01:50:09 Wow. Well, I have enjoyed having you here. Chat, chat, help us out. I need you, like, what's the thing with Tinkerbell or something? Tinkerbell's dead and everybody claps. What a random thing to say. But, chat, how have you enjoyed having Clap Daddy hanging out with us on stream? Have you had fun? Have you liked him? Give him marks. How is he as a host? Does he do the job?

01:50:36 I don't replace Bogsy. There is no replacement for Bogsy. Bogsy is one of a kind. Bogsy is a beautiful man. Is this true? Well, that got dark. Yeah, it's really hard for me to say not dark. Or spicy streams. The Afternight Special. See, people are saying you're doing fine. You're good. No. They're just people from my community.

01:51:05 Ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja.

Community-Interaktion und Gameplay-Erfahrungen

01:51:32

01:51:32 It's awesome to see another streamer on the official channel. And also, a reminder, this dude's running on three hours of sleep. I mean, so actually one of the biggest things too is what people, the people who do know who I am. I was known for being the...

01:51:53 Ja, warum nicht? Um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um

01:52:22 Yeah, pretty much. I hear there's some crazy time slots on the military side of life. Yeah, specifically what I was doing, there's not really a... There wasn't really a time I had to be awake, or...

01:52:41 Oh, hold on. Oh, this is the one we actually gotta stay inside the... This is, like, there's some ships that spawn here, there's some ships that come out, and then eventually there's, I think, a CV that we have to take out that's over there, and then there's just stuff coming from everywhere all at once, and you try not to get utterly slaughtered. Something like that. Alright, well...

01:53:09 Just do the best you can. It's all fun. Cute things, got it. Yeah, I think the longest stream I did was a World of Warships stream, and it was 38 and a half hours. I tried to do 48 and just couldn't. I was like, nope. I couldn't keep my head up anymore. This is enough for me. Don't die, man. I think there was...

01:53:31 Ja, ich meine...

01:53:58 Ja, ja. Ja, ich weiß. Aber es war gut content. Wenn ich was conscious. Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich... Ich...

01:54:26 Super much vibe out for the rest of your time. For the day. There's been times when Assassin's Creed comes out. That's one of those games I play. I can just sit down and get lost in it for 10-12 hours. Easily. That's a Des Moines that I'm showing side to. Now I have 406s in this thing. And I did not lead it to hit through the nose. So that sucks. When I try... Oh, okay. There's a Humphreys there. It's the Des Moines god.

01:54:56 kind of chonked let's try to go for the snows here might not be enough we have another chance i want to hit right here and i don't know if i'm going to do it close seven got some pens all right well i don't have that shot anymore now i just have battleships so gotta figure something else out to do here one guy who played 48 hours on a caffeine drink yeah so

01:55:25 Hey, I reckon I had the right amount of caffeine. There's a food place that we occasionally go to that had like some lemonade or something that had so much caffeine that it put people in the hospital, so be aware of the caffeine, I guess. Yeah, well remember, not just a somewhat pretty face on stream, also a nurse.

01:55:54 Oh, that's true! Ja! Ja! Ja! Ja! Ich habe es safe. Ich weiß, was die Lethal Dose von Caffeine ist. Und ich bin sehr well-hydrated. Weil, believe it or not, es ist Lethal Doses. All right, da ist mein Funny Button. Mal sehen, wie viel Funny Button ist. Ja, er ist ein bisschen schneller als ich erwartet. Ich habe nur einen Fortschritt, wie du. Ja, ich habe A-Overpins. Aber wenn die Citadels sind, das wäre eine gute Zeit.

01:56:23 Ich denke, ich bin zu Funny Button, das Dude wieder. So, wir haben 48 von diesen Enhanced, etwas mehr Damage, etwas besser Pen, ich denke, Shells. Da wir gehen. Wir sind aus dem Map. Und dann, wir sind aus. Wir haben nicht mehr für den Rest des Matches. Ich denke, es wäre interessant zu implementieren, diese Idee zu den HE-Cruisern. Ein High-DPM.

01:56:52 Ja, ich glaube, dass es ein bisschen schwerer ist, oder hat ein bisschen besser pen oder so, dann kann man auch locken. Die große Sache ist, dass...

01:57:04 Because they're so short ranged and you really just you tend not to have a ton of health. That might be a kill. Is that a kill? It could have been, but it wasn't for me. You really have to get in and brawl. So as much as you might want to use them, it's kind of a little clenching to be able to use them. Oh, it does work to North Carolina. Yep. We saw that one. It's a squish.

01:57:32 I thought the Torps were going to take him out, and then he just disappeared. Nah. I got him. Alright, so I'm going to swap over to Clap Daddy Screen, and remember, I don't have any audio from the game client, so it might be a little tumbleweedy, but we'll get to see how he shoots. I'm going to eat this Colorado right now. Oh, well then it was a good time for me to swap over. It was a very good time.

01:58:05 Oder ich bin nicht. Ich werde 4 Overpens und 3 Pens von 3 Kilometern weg. Tier IX vs. Tier VII life. Es ist nicht genug Armour. Ripp. Ich werde ein bisschen weiter aus. Oh, ich legte zu viel. Ich habe ein Pen. Das ist Revenge, jetzt.

01:58:33 There you go. He got clapped.

01:58:38 Oh, das ist nicht gut. Was? Ich weiß, es war ein Bad Pun, ich bin sorry. Ich habe nicht gehört, was du gesagt? Was war es? Nein, ich werde nicht sagen, es sucked. Nein, nein, nein, es ist ein Bad Pun, ich will definitiv nicht hören. Nein, nein, nein. Nein, nein, nein. Nein, nein, nein. Nein, nein, nein. Nein, nein, nein. Nein, nein, nein. Nein, nein, nein. Nein, nein, nein, nein. Nein, nein, nein, nein. Nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein,

01:59:08 Das ist ein sehr guter Meme. Alright. Nipped him. Got two in pretty decent range. Come on Kearsarge, secondaries. Can we get this Humphreys the hell out of the base? Please?

01:59:29 I think that's the shield on there. I'm pretty sure he's an AP version. But secondaries almost have this. Maybe I'll snake it. I do. Cool. Okay, so I really don't remember this operation very well. I know some folks spawn over there, and then it just gets chaotic. It's chaotic right now. Oh, are you dead? You might be dead. Nope. I am surrounded by three cruisers. Are you going to be able to get your heals off? Yep.

02:00:00 I'm firing at the Cleveland, so I might take him off. Nope, somebody else got him. Do you have the Monmouth? We did play that a little earlier. Unfortunately, I played it twice and lost twice. But Clap played it after me, and we won that one. So, you know, must be user error. But she is fun. The guns are quite punchy. AP only, and when it sticks, it sticks pretty nice. Let's see. Take a shot at the Cleveland. Maybe we'll get some love there.

02:00:32 I might die now. I mean, there were three of them. Yeah, I got double purple fires. Well, so then there's the rub. Well, almost 200k. Well, that's a hell of a lot better than me. I'm rocking a 57, so you were much more in the thick of things.

02:00:56 Rippin' a part of Colorado all by yourself. So proud of me, aren't you? Picked on a little tier 7 bot. I'm proud of you.

PvE-Erfahrungen und Bot-Gegner

02:01:08

02:01:08 Well, I've actually played quite a bit of PvE. I mean, my first gaming system was in Intellivision from back when I was a kid. And I mean, PvE, like Super Mario Bros. Famous game, it's PvE. You're just playing against whatever's there, right? So just because you're playing against bots doesn't mean it isn't a challenge. It's on the game designer to make the challenge. So you're showing up and you're doing whatever you can do. And Operations is, it's like...

02:01:37 There are so many bots in an operations mission that it grinds you down by attrition. That's really how it gets you. And sometimes there are heals that you can make use of. Sometimes you can break contact and try to get some heals off on your own if you can. It used to be that operations were all tier 7 and below. And there are a lot of ships at...

02:02:02 tier 7 and below that do not have heals at all so unless you're in a battleship you were pretty much if you took damage it stuck but when we included the higher tiers then and you start having ships that have more damage more healing and stuff like that you really have to figure out how are you going to be able to make it work and that's kind of a mini game in and of itself

02:02:24 Also, we added the higher stuff. We made it so that the challenge kind of tunes to your group. So the crazier your group is, the gnarlier the challenge. What were you going to say? Let me ask you this then with operations. Because I, like I said, I do not ever play operations. So a lot of people have like, like you in the very beginning, people going this way, people going that way. Sure. How much RNG do you guys actually have into the operations? Where is that?

02:02:51 So, um, there are some operations that are the exact same every time in terms of, you know, there's a cruiser that spawns here, there's a destroyer that spawns here, there's a battleship that spawns here and goes on this route. So, like, uh, there was an operation, um, uh, Operation Narai, I think it was, that it was the same operation every, every, every single time. But when we added

02:03:20 um random operations when we added you just you queue up and you play whatever operation you get and we include the higher tiers we added the ability for the ships to kind of dynamically match to the power level of the group

02:03:35 Not the power, the skill level of the players. It doesn't look at that. It just looks at the ships. So if you bring higher tier ships, it tries to respond with some higher tier enemies that have maybe more damage or more health to try to give you an appropriate challenge. Challenges should be circum, you know, you should be able to overcome it, but it should be a challenge. So there's some randomness in that sense, but some of the operations only have one method. So it's always battleship here, destroyer there, etc.

02:04:01 There are other operations where they might have two or three variations, so you're not exactly sure which way it's going to go, but after the first maybe one or two spawns, then you'll have a really good idea, and you can try to play accordingly. There are some folks that have completely memorized these, just like, I mean, talking about Super Mario Bros., there are folks that have completely and totally memorized the game. So, like, they can play...

02:04:30 Literally blindfolded, because they played it so much, they just utterly memorized the game. And there are folks that have memorized our operations in the same way.

02:04:42 But there are a lot of people, especially once we added the random part of it. I'm gonna get absolutely dunked by this Jacksonville. Yeah. Okay, well, I didn't quite expect the super ship Jacksonville that was just going to...

02:05:03 Well, there are more ships than I expected, and it went very poorly. That's what happened. But when you log in to just kind of play, there's going to be people from all skill levels. There are going to be people that know what the operation is, people that don't know what the operation is. We always have new players coming to the game every single day. I feel like operations is good for definitely for new people. It kind of adds a different aspect of co-op and get a feel for the game.

02:05:33 Damn. Yes, there's one super big difference between co-op and operations. Do you know what it is?

02:05:42 The co-op bots like to ram each other? Well, they do have an affinity for that. That is true. Co-op, the main gun accuracy in co-op is detuned. So if you ever watch a co-op bot, you'll see its cannons almost spin a little bit because they're not necessarily shooting directly at your ship. They're kind of shooting around it. They might shoot a little behind or a little in front of or a little in whatever lead or behind or something.

02:06:11 You tend to be kind of safe from the main batteries in co-op because their gunnery sucks. They're accurate with the Torps. They're accurate with Dutch Airstrikes. They're accurate with ASW Strikes, CV Strikes. They're accurate with dodging Torps, too, because I'll launch Torps at someone that is like four kilometers away, and then as soon as I launch them, they're like, no, I'm just going to have a hard turn away from them now. Yep. I think they have a leg up on that. Yeah.

02:06:38 ESP, they got spidey senses for twerps. Yes, they do. They have spidey senses. But operations, they do not have any main gun battery problems. They know how to lead. They probably shoot better than most players because the computer knows how to shoot. Is there a way? Just curious. So then how tuned? Okay, so the operation, or I guess for co-op, is the most detuned settings for bot accuracy, correct?

02:07:06 Oh, where does Operations Asymmetric rank in that tier? Like, who's number one in bot accuracy? Well, I'm actually pretty sure Asymmetric and Operations have the same. Both of them are accurate. The difference with Asymmetrics is you fight ships that are like two tiers lower, basically, than you. So automatically the guns are going to be less effective in general.

02:07:31 They're going to have lower amounts of health, etc. So as soon as you're able to take one or two bots off the field, great. But you start with like 12 enemies right away. Whereas in an operation, you get three. And then another three. And then another four. And then another four. And if you're not keeping pace, if you're not taking out the enemy ships as quickly as they're coming at you...

02:07:55 Suddenly, you're not just facing 4. You're not just facing 5. You're facing what's on screen right now is 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 ships all at once. And there's 3 of you and there's 12 of them. So in operations, because it's expected to be kind of like a 15 to 20 minute experience, you need to overcome the challenges as they come or you can find yourself getting further and further behind.

02:08:22 Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja.

02:08:48 I guess what would be interesting was to know what the overall accuracy of, or I guess overall, yeah, I guess overall accuracy of the game, like actual players, and then see how that lines with bot accuracy. It would be interesting to see how hard you can make asymmetrics or operations. Well, I do want to...

02:09:15 Make sure that I'm not overselling this. When you fire the guns in the game, there's some dispersion. So like, you know, the guns will, the shells will kind of go where they go. Horizontal dispersion, vertical dispersion, etc. And the bots are no exception. They have dispersion. They can miss. You can juke the shots. So like if you're going full steam ahead and they take a shot at you and you cut and go hard rudder, you know, they'll miss because they took an accurate shot and you juked it.

02:09:44 So you have that. Just as a fun thing, there was actually a point where co-op had bots that had the dead-on accuracy. And I remember actually back when I started playing in 2019, I was playing in a CV at Tier 4 and the bots literally shot better than the players. So in almost every single game that I played, the players would die and there would still be bots left over.

02:10:12 So I was trying to play the Hold Back the Dam, where I'm just trying to get any damage I could into the remaining bots to see if I could somehow eke out a win. And in Tier 4 CV, that kind of sucks because the damage is terrible. But that experience actually taught me how to aim with carriers, because I'm like, I don't have much damage, so...

02:10:33 I need to hit every Torp I drop. I need to hit every bomb I can. I need to hit all the rockets. It forced me to learn how to shoot, which was really cool, but that's not necessarily a situation that exists now. Operations can be a little hard on carriers because of just how many bots spawn at once in the waves, and they have overlapping AA because they're all together. And co-op, because people can wreck stuff in co-op pretty quick, you don't really have the time to take the shots, but you can still.

02:11:02 Learn there. Alrighty, so it's almost the hour. It's 6.58. We have probably just enough time for a few parting words. So I would like to ask... I'm going to do two things. I'm going to ask Chat. How'd you like Clappin' Cheeks? Well, Clap Daddy. The Twitch-approved rename. How'd you like Clap Daddy? And will you give him a follow? Will you hang out with him?

02:11:28 so what did you think and also clap daddy how did you what did you think of being on the stream was it all you expected did you like it did you hate it did i talk too damn much

02:11:41 Ich wollte das als ein Politiker. Ich habe Spaß. Ich liebe es. Ich liebe es. Ich liebe es. Ich liebe es. Ich liebe es. Ich liebe es. Ich liebe es. Ich liebe es. Ich liebe es. Ich liebe es.

02:12:08 Es ist definitiv das, was ich möchte. Das ist das, was ich gerne zu PAX, oder PAX in Australien. Also, es ist halt wie TwitchCon. Da sind PAX in East and Past Wex. Das sind in den USA, aber sie kommen aus Australien. Ich liebe das, ich liebe Community Meetups hier, in Brisbane. Also, wenn wir in TwitchCon. Also, wir alle mit auf den USS Midway. A lot of die CCs. Ich liebe das Community. Die Community ist einfach.

02:12:37 Es ist Small, aber es ist Small und Big at the same time. Everybody knows each other, aber es ist Massive. So being able to hang out with everybody on times where I don't actually get to stream and see other people that I haven't got to meet is awesome. Well, you have an admirer in the chat. Someone named Maddie Jade says Clap Daddy is super handsome. Bias. Bias. You got somebody you can hit up after the stream.

02:13:02 All right. It's 7 o'clock. It's the witching hour, Rar. So we're going to be heading out. I think we're going to be rating SohnMG. So please stick around with me. I'm going to hop over to the producer's chair and typeity type and do the stuff.

02:13:16 So, at the moment, I'm going to throw over once again, I know we saw this, I did in the beginning, and not too long ago, we're going to do a little Clyde teaser for the Golden Barticles coming up, and then I'm going to send you guys off to the waiting stream. So, thank you very much, Clap Daddy, for hanging out with us today, and thank you, Chat, for being funtastic and awesome, and I hope you had lots of fun, and see ya!

02:13:42 Hey everyone, my name is Clyde Plays and I want to invite you to the third annual Golden...

02:13:47 My phone is blowing up. Why? I got people texting me about Barneys stuff. That's how cool this is. The Barneys are an award show just like the Oscars, except we give out Pixel trophies to our favorite Pixel Boats that came out in the last year. This year we've got a whole slew of special guests presenting awards and some others who are going to be doing special presentations during the show. It's going to be a lot of fun. I really hope that you'll choose to join me on twitch.tv slash ClydePlaysLive Saturday, March 15th. Thanks, everybody.

02:14:18 Und jetzt ist es so schön, dass ich es nicht so schön war.
