Nah, I'm just here helping someone who apparantly doesn't understand a fairly simple game mechanic and who is clearly frustrated by that. I suggest you load up a training room, place some static DD's that do not agrro and fly over them with your carrier planes and keep trying until you can show us an instance where an visually unblocked DD is not detected while flying within it's air detection range. Have fun ^^

It's pretty simple actually. If a DD has AA on, the ship gets detected as soon as the AA of the ship starts firing at planes within it's AA range. Because of that DDs with AA on will get detected at their max AA range. Turning AA off prevents this from happening at which point the DD can only be detected by the planes when they fly into it's air detection range, which can vary from approx. 2,5 km and up depending on the ship. It's impossible to fly into a DDs air detection range and not spot it unless it is hiding in smoke or visually hidden by hard cover like islands. So when you claim you are flying over DDs without spotting the DD, you are most likely not flying over the DD, but outside of it's air detection range.

Same. I even have 2x 2xbonus set up for the line. Except 'guess who reset the line earlier this year and wasn’t in a mood yet to play' past T7 yet…

That is either a bug, a smokescreen or an exaggeration ^^

Yeah up to 10% popularity was probably a hype for subs ^^

No, playing subs.

I'm guessing annoying people in carriers for 3 years comes at a cost... I dunno man, I'm at a loss here. ^^

The level of mimi banter is growing exponentially inhere. What is this, kindergarten?

Its great to know that with 1 out of 300 free low tier crates roughly has a chance to drop a ship, some people actually get a ship. It is to be expected though, so I'm not sure if this warrants a dedicated thread

According to renowned historian H.I. Storian WW2 pilots that were brave enough to start an attack run on any enemy ship were known to be invulnurable for some time.

It's not like you repeat yourself much Also autopilot rants have never been seen here before, especially demanding it in allcaps ^^

While you wait for a WG fix since you asked nicely not using all CAPS for the entire post which is a plus really, you might consider steering your carrier manually out of harms way instead of relying on autmation. It's not like everyone else has to rely on shoddy automated AA with your carrier attacking them. O, wait.

As I don't play much, and feedback seemed to have died out: are subs played often in randoms these days or is the hype already over?

Yeah we wouldnt want explosions be displayed on the actual target now would we? That's way too serious ^^ Just to be clear, this comment isnt about the tournament, it's about shoddy coding.

Ah k. Well then I guess it doesnt matter that the game is crap ^^

I'm not sure what you are trying to say here, but cruisers first priority is not to get citadelled or focused as most cruisers lack the stamina to take on that much damage. So your statement 'If you are afraid to get hit then don't play a cruiser really.' is missing some vital insight on how to effectively play cruisers. I am by no means commenting on your Seatlle frustration, because it sounds like you just simply encountered a bad player, of which we have many. Radar cruisers are double edged swords: good players will be able to bring their utilities into play, bad players won't. They won't because they either die quickly trying too hard, or are too cautious and use radar at 10 km away from the cap centre for example not radaring anything. The core issue though: most players use radar and hydro just for themselves, and an even larger part of the players don't play a team game at all. WG even removed several team oriented gameplay systems, so they enforced the egocentric mode of playing actually.

Its funny when half the explosions are 25-50 meters behind the battleship. How is this crap acceptable? In a tournament? Design and code department must be using a RNG code generator ^^

It is a testament to how incompetent the designers are really ^^ They weren't even close in their first and second attempt apparantly. Sadly another forum uproar was needed. These are same designers and producers currently making major changes in gameplay lol.

That is true for BB's tanking, not for cruisers actually.

Your chances spiked to 100% apparantly :D

Im not sure how you've been progressing through the game but could it be you are currently getting into higher tier games more frequent? The higher tier you go, the more precautious players tend to be. It has kinda always been like that especially at tier X.

You dont salvage the team, you salvage your score.

Afaik you can spot up to certain depths.

You didnt spot him and deplete his magic non tesla battery with your planes?

Asasshio :D
