    I used to use the samsung Galaxy s6, now I use the galaxy s8+ (lol shiny new phone ftw). I have a setup for my Computer as well but I only use it for chatting on the side with my guild. I played a few battles on it using the keyboard and it was difficult to control to say the least... I'm curious to know how people play on PC

    There is a system on the "bluestacks" program that allows you to use the keyboard to "tap" the screen in certain locations. I have heard of people playing the game this way

    Ive used Memu / bluestacks a few times.
    The problem with it is, if you only use point and shoot weapons (cannons for example) then you re fine. BUT if you start using mortars, torpedoes ..... you need to be firing with anticipation - basically once you see an enemy you can only shoot at him, and NOT where you think he should be: screen locks at your enemy's position and if you sue torpedo / mortar.... you can only shoot where he is. By the time the hit lands, he will already be far.

    So in fact, no way to shoot by anticipation - only point and shoot at enemy.

    I love the emulators for not ruining my battery but Battle Bay is hard to play with any weapon requiring you to shoot by anticipation.

    I found this as well. And I wondered if there was a better way to play using a PC. Maybe using a controller? But I think that's going quite far from how the game was intended to be played.

    Shit I want an s8+ so bad. Too bad I'm a poor college student, can't afford to change phone each year. But I guess my s7 edge isn't that shabby either.
    Does the game support full screen on s8+ anyway? You know, because of its long 18,5:9 aspect ratio.

    Yes it does, and it "looks" glorious:p but plays horribly in full screen. The corners of the S8+ are rounded so if you have it in full screen then the things in the corners are cut off, and gameplay was really difficult in full screen as well because the controls were shifted closer on the edge to each hand. HOWEVER, Playing it in a normal 16:9 aspect ratio it works perfectly fine :)

    I am playing this on an s8+ and PC. The phone hurts my eyes after a few rounds so I started looking to the PC. I am able to play for at least an hour with no issues. I am using the Nox emulator as it's free and it seems to work well with this game.

    I primarily use a Galaxy tab and also an LG V20, both of which which works really well... however long sessions on the phone result in a hot screen and a burned thumb where the processor is.

    I'm playing this game on an iPad 4th generation. While my device may be a little bit outdated, I can play battle bay with zero lag, and zero problems. Just goes to show, you don't need an all powerfull and expensive device to enjoy battle bay.

    Also, playing with a bigger screen than phone kinda gives you an edge over phone players. Easier aiming, easier leading shots, less tapping of wrong buttons, and destruction messages or battle medals doesn't get in your way.

    Hi everyone . I use laptop and i have this configuration.
    The only disadvantage that is that i don't move my focus left / right, and if my enemy is parallel with me i will miss it .... :(

    True, true. You just gotta tough it out sometimes, like when the berta hits. Or when you start listening to VIP chat :p
