So you are playing Smolensk exclusively?

You should ask yourself why you do. There are plenty of ships that can carry way better at tier X.

Yeah I can understand players that were abruptly woken by this one want to lull back to sleep rather then handeling this 'issue' I'm enjoying my time in the SMol and have no issues playing BB's against it. I love burning leeches off the map, don't take that away from me! Or I'll have to start sailing the Asasshio once more to sink em :P

I think the complaints about the Smol and other fire wielding cruisers and DD's is utter BS. I've played a few rounds in my GK yesterday (I find BB's pretty boring usually so don't play them as much as cruiser and DD), and had a match with 2 enemy Smolensks in it, and none on our side. I killled the first Smol with secondaries once I pummeled it to low HP with a well placed main gun barrage. It didn't stand a chance. Mind you, I actually was smart about going my way having 2 SMOLS in the enemy team. The other Smol was killed later on by our team as well. Not a problem just a different challenge. I think the Smol is the PERFECT punishing tool for the type of BB players that fail to adopt to a change in the META. If you can't handle it, get off your lazy arse and do someting about it in game. Yet you choose to complain about it in the forums and want WG to fix your 'problem'. The issue of inert battleship players has been with us for years. It's the BB players playing the way they have been doing for ages (static damagehoarding leeches) and lacking the imagination, tactical skills and willpower to change their behavior according to challenges thrown at them. That type of player is why we have carriers designed for the lowest denominator and now glorious HE spamming machines that are so fragile they can be deleted in 2 or 3 salvo's. Yet you STILL seem to not be able to do something as simple as that, which only speaks about you and your chosen playstyle. Go fix yourself.

Honestly, the mix is being polluted as we progress, with utter nutters especially in higher tiers. I've never been more frustrated with teammates and litterally laughing out loud at silly enemies, as I've been these last few weeks. Really. My eyes are bleeding from the stupidity I've seen this week, ruining over 80% of the matches, win or lose doesn't matter. It's not even remotely fun roflstomping a team that only has 'sukkels' in it. It's become really hard to have fun with the bigger part of the community.

They never did before the Smol either. Go figure. At least you get burned down now instead of being able to camp at map borders and islands for the whole round

This has been going on for years

I just bounced 4 SAP shells of my Amalfi guns on a Yugomo at 9 KM.

I had something worse even last week, where my PC froze within the first minute of the game, and my Terrible drifted into a B cap, took it, spotted 7 ships and tanked 400K (!!!!!) of potential damage. There were 5 people on my team that scored lower actually playing the round, and apparantly the enemy team needed OVER 400.000 potential damage to kill my AFK Terrible in the edge of the middle B cap. Anything below 610 base XP means you are worse then an AFK french DD. It's called BEING TERRIBLE.

It is slowly becoming the new standard. I've seen things today I'd thought I'd never see at mid and high tiers. My eyes are bleeding.

20, hardly play them except Smol. I like Des Moines, rest is rusting away due to an awefull rotten X meta and uninspired unadventerous playerbase.

If the ITA drop chance of duplicates is anything like the school collection, Guess I'll be the 0.0000001% not completing it

I think it's their turning circle radius that's decent, the rudder speed isn't that great imho. So once it actually starts to turn it looks like it's fast turning where in fact it's short turning :-)

Today I got my first Kraken in the Zara, and it was totally underwhelming. Top tier, 5 kills, just over 60k damage. Looking at my matches so far, I'm doing great WR wise, but at the same time I hardly think I can own up to that WR. Only 1 match I was able to carry, all the others I was just above the middle scoring ship being carried mostly. These ships just lack pazazz. Very little toys (hydro etc) toys or upgrades that matter, the smoke and long range torps are great though. The SAP seems completely pointless as a feature. It adds nothing to the gameplay for me compared to HE or even the AP only cruiser lines. I have been sailing around with 4 out of 16 unspent captain points for ages simply not knowing what would be a good way to spend them. I just picked up Last Stand because the rudder seems to break all the time, so even that's a meh choice only to counter a build in flaw. My ITA WR results are great, probably better then other cruiser lines, yet I feel no love for almost any of these (my love for the game as a whole is fading though so that might be a big factor). The ships are not crap, but I won't play this cruiser line beyond their grind or snowflake threshold.

4 items 2 duplicates. Thats fine though, my school collection has 26 items and 24 duplicates so far. ROFL. Hats off to WG though in making all other rewards in the italian collection so ultimately uninteresting that even I'm now collecting the horrendous gambling lootboxes with the italian currency. They made everything so unattractive and put the only reward thats worth anything in their bloody stupid rated 7+ lootcrates. GG WG, you keep pushing that . You seem to be bloody hell bent on making me not want to spend a dime on your game by pushing the worst gameindustry standard by far: pushing marketing and gambling in my leisure time.

Nope, as prerelease its a 'premium' or 'special' kind of ship, after the update the ship became a regular silver ship. Working as weirdly intended :D YOu captain probably has another ship as it's trained ship currently I'm guessing.

To be perfectly honest: playing for fun is frustrated by people playing like donkeys. The frustration isnt the RNG, unbalanced ships, the obscure misplaced 'events' that are about monsters and spam instead of historical stuff or the tiresome grind or extremely obnoxsious marketing in game, it's being in teams with players making the most stupid and infuriating decisions that can only be explained by sheer stupidity or desinterest. That is what is frustrating above all.

Yeaahhhh as expected, not enjoying the grind of the silver line at all. This line has no flavor, no taste to it (spamming torpedos is lol tho), it's grey with a hint of yellow pee.

I'm completely burned out on the events and grinds. I can't even wrap my head around the walls of text that they need to explain their schemes, and it's even funnier when they try to cap it in a comprehensive explaination which itself is again a doomed wall of text. Total overflow for me. I play. I receive 'stuff', but really? It's not doing anything for me anymore. Even if I receive special ships now it's a meh experience. I stopped caring about the whole marketing machine this enviroment has turned into. It's annoying, unethical (gambling and 7 y/o) and due to the massive nature everything becomes bland and uninteresting actually.

@Excavatus Smol = lol

In Russia Чернобыльская is considered not bad

I like.

Biases have a tendency to become self fulfilling prophecies. It's human nature.
