Makes sense, it might simply have been a bad combination of luck on their part and me thinking I was unspotted. No icons came up so I presumed I was mr. invisible. I wouldn't accuse the guy of cheating in a case like this because as mentioned some guys know their stuff and someone like me sometimes takes things for granted. I'll enable replays I reckon but won't be hanging around in smoke to test any theories on this, lol. I got a little concerned because it happened 3 times in 2 days, not really as rare as I would presume it would happen and always focussed on by a single player, never a group as is usually the case when a dd pinata is spotted sitting in smoke. I'm aware of the brit ships being destroyed in smoke because the cloud is so small all it takes is a salvo or two and the brit ship is dead, so smoke is sometimes pointless in these cases. For me it was in my benson in a nice long trail of smoke. Guess I'll have to play with my eyes open from now on.

You brought a cannon to a feather fight and the feather beat you. Tough luck mate.

Giving an example of a game where you made over 1mil credits is bad form, especially when it's fairly obvious that there were certain multipliers / missions in play. Choose your example better next time and while everyone may have a good game now and then, it's fairly obvious that a single game doesn't tell the whole tale does it? Stop being a suck up.

To be honest maybe they should add more gimmicky maps and scenarios so it will draw away all those trinkity loving fail players from randoms and ranked battles. 'Stay away from the light'...'but it's so beautiful'.......ZAP!. Not one for bells and whistles in this way. The more cartoonish it becomes the more it detracts from a wargame in the traditional sense, but as long as we can opt out I'm happy.

Hi mate, never saw you, very sorry. Hope I didn't say or do anything stupid, I was getting peeved with some of the gameplay and then started making mistakes due to constantly worrying about the stupid things others were doing. Now that I've seen your name I'll never forget and will be extra vigilent on battle. Must've been in ranked obviously. I lost quite a few stars tonight . Seen some real yoloing dd's. You'd expect at rank 5 players would know the drill by now, but they don't so 5 has become the new poop fest that's impossible to get out of. Still seeing players with no camo on their ships at rank 5, unbelievable.

Umm, this one defies belief. The human species is truly lost. The anthropogenic age is one where technologically we're advancing, but socially we're regressing into a primitive-minded species, especially when we start to call screaming - singing. I'm sure feministics can do better than this to raise awareness, but I suppose they got the attention, if not only for people to shake their heads in disbelief, loool.

Checks the WoWs website EVERYDAY for more news? Checks the Premium shop EVERYDAY to see if there's a new premium on offer (not that I'll buy it)? Checks the forum, see many of the same topics still going or repeating themselves and then logging off? Repeats the same procedures a number of times throughout the day even though you know it won't change? I think I need to lie on a couch somewhere and speak to someone.

We're die hard fanboys who are weak minded and easily excitable. We're the stereotypical client WG have always been looking for, with our fingers tapping our wallets. We're sad, we're bad, we're mad, we're a tad crazy.....but we all love it!

A BB recently told me smoking was bad for my health in a game when I asked him if he wanted smoke. I agreed and decided then and there to quit. Due to my lack of smoking he didn't last very long because he was focussed in broad daylight cause everyone on the enemy could see him. I can conclude that smoking is definitely good for your health and all those naysayers are horribly misguided. I only hope he learned this lesson. I felt like a god, maybe loki! @OP, not experienced this bug yet. Brits have short smoke and stopping close enough to fire is precarious, but at least my smoke worked just before I blew up.

@ Silence5......i keel you!

So what we have with the brit cruisers then are suicide ships that need to get close enough to fire secondaries before they blow up? Sounds fair, I like.

Ok, Ok, I'm liking the Leander.....but still not happy that the lower tiers don't advertise much greatness. I just saw an Edinburgh used very wiseley in a ranked match, these ships have potential. Time will tell, but let one of you mention 'nerf' instead of 'buff' and there'll be hell to pay. Firing arcs need to be lowered, too much open sky for my liking and perhaps longer smoke clouds, like maybe lasting 10 minutes each one (hehehehhe), no but seriously, I'll settle for 9 minutes.

Come say that to my face.....cmon, I'm waiting, and don't you dare hold that 'I can ban your account' threat in my face or you'll have to change your name to MrWrongway when I'm done with you .

Because many of us care very little for BB's. The only way to counter dd HE spam is for the BB's to protect their cruisers and ask them to do the job. BB's are already all powerful as it is and another 'help my BB butt' thread is the last thing many of us want to hear. Simple as that.

I'd like to know how to counter BB spam in all the games I play. Too many BB's.

This is surely not a 'brit ships are OP' thread is it? Or am I imagining things? Well, I've obviously not got the minotaur, but if it is OP perhaps it could spread some of it's good fortune to the lower tier brit ships, they need all the help they can get.

You back again sock puppet? Thought WG had asked you to frequent another forum to shoot down other quasi 'WG made a mistake' threads? Pull the wool from your eyes and be a man for once. Oh, what's that? Shees, you're crying now? There there! Just kidding fanboy. Oh, and the RN CL's are not fine. I'm a little flabberghasted at your ignorance if your comments are sincere. Also, why have you hidden your stats?

Just so you know, it's got nothing to do with refusing to adapt. It's about the reality of a failed line in the lower tiers which will not serve to encourage many people to play them. They are overly killable, why WG did this by making them so vulnerable to any form of fire is ridiculous. Not one class in the game blows up as fast and as often as this line does. I go into lower tier games and all I see is brit cuisers getting citadelled, from good health. The repair ability is mostly moot since often a lot of health cannot be recovered. The fact remains the line needs a review and fast. I'd rather they remove it and rework the line completely to rebalance them. They've taken the brit line and basically made a lot of it a joke

I'm very well known I'll have you know!

Sssshhh, it's learned to talk, one must be encouraging to help the little one evolve. We have a duty of care to nuture all living organisms.

You're not wrong here at all. Many BB players in ranked are some of the lowest forms of life around yet. So many fo them too.

It's a good point and happens to me all the time (I die a lot). Fire off the guns or torps a seconds or two before you die, you hear and see them fire but nothing materialises.

What the hell would you like players in brit ships to do? Come out of the smoke to be citadelled by HE. If it wasn't for the smoke the brit ships with their short range and pathetic armour wouldn't last 2 minutes and this is a fact. Ffs, you really want to complain about the smoke without thinking just a little further than your own nose?

No, like many others he has a very good point. My Emerald (yes, I decided to research the rn line) bounced off a Konigsberg and a karlsruhe repeatedly....and the dispersion was so bad that more than half missed the ships entirely, bearing in mind my range is only 12, something km. You cannot have a single ammo type that sometimes penetrates if the enemy ship is broadside but the second he angles it's a total fail and you have to get dangerously close to use it, with smoke that has a short release time, and slowing down in this close proximity is dangerous. When the smoke fades you're stuck in dangerous waters. Textbookwise these might not seem bad, but in a randoms with ships all over the place it's not fit for purpose. They've made the RN too gimmicky and too specialist to learn to use, resigned to being one-hit-wonders and suicide vessels with limited potential for sustained impact on any game unless the enemy totally ignores you, because when you get hit it's mostly always for maximum damage. A few hits and your ship is ruined despite having a 'heal' ability, which only prolongs the inevitable of you blowing up a few seconds later. A single shell or two from lower tiered cruisers have repeatedly taken my Emerald down from full to 1/4 health. The argument of 'it gets better at tier 6 or 7' is ridiculous - why should all the lower tiers be so disastrous making the grind up so painful - is this mean't to inspire people to play them more? The hard fact is WG has messed up badly and should have listened to ST's when they gave feedback. I don't think I have felt this disappointed with WG in a long long time.
