When is tier X not special? It's like a pit of apathetic dullness.

I think it's a disgrace how the gaming industry feeds on kids with gambling and addiction targetted design in their games. <- this is not okay, it should read 18+

I'll probably get chatbanned once again, as I just ripped a new one to a friendly Saipan that suicided into the enemy team on purpose 'because he couldn't do anything' (he apparantly was bad at playing it). To me sabotaging a game round like that is offensive in itself, and a player doing that gets to hear that. He and his clan buddies (who also died early) probably reported me en masse, so be it. 'em. Don't want to hear that? Disable chat.

I'm looking for a silent clan too. To division with mostly in randoms with 54% plus WR players (i'm 58% overall).

The chatter hurts my brain.

Ah thanks, no that stuff kills me.

Not sure what Disco is, but if it means using microphones.... I only want to use chat, not voicechat of any sort

My problem is that most clans that seem nice require voiceIP of some sort. I can't handle people chatting on my headphones, it drives me nuts 😜 Are there any nice clans that dont use VoiceIP?

This wasn't any of my personal achievements, but I'm just gonna leave it here: one of my most beloved ships played right by two players in two different teams. Well done Asashio's <3

So this happened today at the cost of 2 x 1,65 euros for NY crates. And then this happened in my first match in her even when being radared 5 times... A very welcome addition to my port, thank you RNGesus.

Mostly true for me. In a DD I never ever expect active support from any of my team except perhaps a DD that is near me as he has the same objectives I do, or carrier planes that happens to be around the objective I'm after. I do my thing and if anyone out there happens to shoot on my spots or supports my cap that's great, but usually only BB's and cruisers are targetted, and not the targets I need hep with (radar cruisers, other DD's, tanking campers etc). I can handle enemy carriers spotting, radar and usually most other DD's, but a apathetic team of egocampers is the worst enemy i can get.

I like this post. It is well written. +1

Europe?

I'd like my trptz to get 21 km secondaries

This one

@Nibenay78 CV boring plzkbaitnx

Sure buddy.

Assuming the worst in a random situation like this tells me you see problems more then opportunities in your dd here. Which tells me you are the kind of problem dd the OP is talking about, because more often then not you will run away assuming the worst.

/me jumps in Asasshio

You wrote that If you were Kagero (and in the example the OP gave it was FULL HP) and you faced three enemy ships (2 BB and 1 cruiser) only with 1 BB (Roma) as support you would also run away too. Which is a statement that answers the question in the title: Why are DD's so poor these days. If you think that sailing in a full HP kagero in such a situation means you can't do anything of value to help your struggeling BB, you are a perfect example of how a DD can be played very poorly in that situation. Running away accomplishes nothing, unless you are trying to run the clock with a serious points advantage or can win by a ninja capping contest. Other then that, it's the worst decision you can make. You have a stealth advantage, you have a size advantage (hard to hit at range), you have torpedos, even if they are 7 or 8 km, you have smoke, you have pretty decent guns, you have FULL HP and you are one of the most dangerous alpha strike threats to the enemy BB's. Even if you are out of smoke and are reloading torpedoes, you can still harass the enemy ships at your max range to try distract their focus on your BB teammate and make them fire on you which you can try to tank by evading incoming damage and go off grid temporarily when it gets too hot. It's not 100% success guaranteed, but it's a better option then running away and let your last teammate rot.
