Was looking forward to this ship appearing in the game. When I saw it available at first I got really excited, but then my eyes dropped down to the cost and my heart sank. At that price tag it's a dream I'll have to forget about. Pity they put it so far out of reach for some of us. Good luck to those of you that have it.

I think that's all fair and well in theory, but let's talk reality here. This isn't tanks where you can quickly out-maneauvre your enemy or quickly relocate from one flank to another to swing the course of the battle. In this game you are less able to influence the outcome as quickly as in WoT so I wouldn't presume that the whole WR argument stands much ground here.

Well then I must be a chimpanzee too then because every time I've got a new ship I've practice fired my guns randomly for the fun of it. Managed to win quite a few, if not most of these games too so your theory is just that, a theory. You folks should direct your prejudice toward the real things to be prejudice about, like game balance, etc, rather than seeking to blame losses on players who happen to fire their shells off a little too eagerly. At least they show a little enthusiasm rather than being afk. Judge a player by his stats if you must, but making an association of 'bad player = someone who randomly fires a few shells early game' is lame.

Are you guys seriously having a little chinwag about some players firing their guns a little early in the match? I've seen a couple fo guys do it and it never bothered me at all. Technically, the enemy will be coming from one direction or the other, it's that simple. A few shells fired will hardly affect the decision making of most of the enemy team I bet. Most players already know which direction they're going at the start of the match due to the particular map they may be playing on and since I suspect 99% of the playerbase are in it for the fun, and any map awareness they may have comes a little too late in the game to be decisive enough to swing the outcome of the battle. To assume the whole enemy team will make a u-turn because a couple of players on your team fire a few shells off is shortsighted and perhaps a little too arm-chair general for my liking, lol. It sounds rather petty and immature to be complaining about premature firing when the battle begins in a random battle. Cmon guys, get serious about the serious things, not this.

Sock puppet by any chance? You I mean, not him. Also, I see many here are blaming 'lower numbers' on the summer. Sure it counts for some, but not all. I have quite a few friends who have recently stopped playing the game because they were frustrated with it due to many of the 'irregularities' already discussed by a few in this topic. Only time will tell, so don't jump to conclusions just yet.

We get to keep the iwaki though right?

It's still early days and hard to judge the MM performance until we have a much larger playerbase. My opinion anyways.

Give them time to institute a reporting system but I presume there won't be much more than what they have in WoT. The best way to fight an insulting troll is to not feed him, ignore him and he goes away. A team damage mechanism might be implemented I presume but may be difficult to assess since once things like torps are in the water you can't stop them and if some friendly ship somewhere down the line cruises into them who gets the blame? Friendly fire is one of those things that'll happen irrespective so we need to be aware of our surroundings more, situational awareness is vital.
