Yeah, it really has been hasn't it. I feel way better overall after leaving the game for like 2+ years.

Hell yeah. It's good to have you back. Things went a little crazy around here in the last few years. I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to listening to you explaining ship design and flaws. I live for stuff like that. I'm an engineer (material science) but I have no clue about ships. And I love getting stuff explained and realising some of the principal challenges and how to overcome them. The Z not being able to reset the Mino probably wasn't all RNG. We still got the aiming bug where a lot of shell land short - especially near islands. It's super frustrating if you're in a situation were it really matters (like, you know, resetting a cap) and you can't get the damn ship to shoot where you actually aim. It's also frustrating that WG won't even consider implementing the most basic fixes for a lot of problems the game currently has: Like stopping carriers from spotting for the team (or at least reduce it to minimap-spotting as it is during a typhoon). Or actually making AA shoot something down instead of evenly spreading the damage over all planes in a flight. You could also go back to the mechanic were the spread of the attack was increased if you managed to go over a certain threshold of damage for a squadron. It would mitigate some of the damage of Nakhimov etc. And make subs slower. I can't even wrap my head around the idea we actually need to say this but going 40+ kts in a sub is the stupidest thing WG ever came up with. The whole sub spotting mechanic is also a joke: No proxy spot and hydro only spots them 2km away? You can hydro torps 4km away but the thing sending those torps is invisible?!? It just doesn't make any sense game-mechanic wise. All those solutions are right there. Instead they gave subs a 50% XP boost compared to any other class of ships so that even the worst player can feel like a king if he does 20k dmg and 30k spot. It's such a joke...

Thank you. Would love to find a way to stay in touch and get your expertise on material sciences. Especially since it plays such a major role in material selection for ships and that factors into overall design stuff. The number of weird bugs in game seems to be kind of mind boggling. I kept thinking these days I don't know how to aim anymore. I keep watching shells aimed at waterline go super high or super low. Very weird. WG is allergic to fixing stuff though hahaha

LCS is also unfortunately designed for a unipolar world where US naval superiority is assumed. They are not meant for modern day great-power competitions. If the modules had arrived then there might still be hope for them, but alas we all know where that went.

Have you thought of talking to Aaron at Sub Brief? Formerly known as the Jive Turkey. If you talk about the LCS, he might give a good perspective too.

I mostly have always watched your videos for the WOWS content, both educational and the more just for fun/cool games. Even the videos where you talk with a game in the background I'm always in for.

The good news is that graduate school work is a lot more FUN than undergrad...but it IS more work. There is a reason that MS stands for More of the Same...and PhD stands for Piled Higher and Deeper.

@ichasegaming

Жыл бұрын

Normally, yes, undergrad is less work. In the case of my naval arch program, I will likely never have as much work as that program ever again. To put it simply, I had to individually start a ship from scratch and then complete approximately 2 turns of the design spiral, complete with all relevant calculations, drawings and at the same time have additional classes (scheduled for 6 courses per term which included the design courses). On top of this I picked one of the hardest ship types to design (cruise ship) and on top of that had to do ice strengthening because of my area of operations. So comparatively speaking, grad school won't be that bad lol.

I played 4 coop games since August 2022. One day I just decided I it was not worth my team booting up the client, and surprisingly I have always found something more entertaining to do than playing. Games where 90% of the time not interesting, just meh.
