Your evil twin? A Mini-me?

Yyeeah, mebbe so.. Sounds awful lot of like work tho, Hhehehe. To be honest, before last weekend's games (which went horribly wrong BTW - 30% winrate eventhough I thought I was doing a relatively decent job) it had never occurred to me that people would actually report other players simply because they got sunk or shot at in a wargame, it just seems quite absurd. But alas, my naive faith in mankind was once again proved to be quite unfounded.

Woot? @Seeteufel wearing Black? Nnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Totally OP, would haff to lay off playing until further notice..Should only be allowed Hashidate up to tier 5 and Mikasa up to tier 10... Hehe! But I think I saw at least 1 Black Friday premium deal being Featured just now? Probably more coming but only getting put up on Friday? I will keep a small budget a bit just in case...

Dejavu @Aotearas?

Heh, I was under impression it can only be detected, if you actually have a replay from the person using aimbot and not otherwise (well, according to them Youtubers anyways). So i remain skeptical... Especially, since I had a couple of games last weekend, where there were several (well sadly they were potato-BB's in my team - We lost a lot) members of our own team, reporting and complaining about enemies supposedly using aimbots, when they got killed by obviously skilled DD players shooting from the smoke or some such thingy. I suspect they misuse the reporting just as a means of childish revenge against the guy who sank them. Do not know if Op was included in that bunch tho. Just to be fair - Maybe they should introduce a penalty for false reporting too?

Must be Fujin for me with rather unsurprisingly Minekaze as the close second. Now trying to get comfortable with Mogami, it might be working too since mt results are slowly improving, but I sure miss the 5,4km spotting range...

I always report everyone and anyone, who manages to land a single shot to scratch the paintwork on me during any game. Obviously cheaters. I mean, here I am - Trying to play a peaceful war game and shoot at stuff and the moribund Schweine have the gull to shoot back! What an outage!

Weel, I must admit I am currently quite deservedly pink myself. Committed an accidental teamkill with my Myoko's torps, when i fired them at 3 enemy ships approaching through the islands in the "Neighbors" map. It turns out there was our own Colorado steaming full speed (so NOT really fast) right into them at close range. I did not see him on time (or at all), as he was behind an island at the time of my firing the da*ned things and of course, since he was intent on ramming them or something he did not read the chat either. He ate most of them and the enemies only took 1. I could have spotted him on time, if I had only checked the minimap or double-checked before launching but nope, so I deserve that one. A real bummer, since the game otherwise went rather well. Must be more careful next time... I have no idea how the bloody h*ll I simply did not see a vessel the size of a Colorado from 6km's away... My victim was a good sport about it tho so thanks for that.

@ForlornSailor Yeah, had those too.. Might actually be interesting to have something like that included perhaps in tier 4, kinda like a Cruiser-type vessel with huge guns - Like Graf Spee... Though the speed would be a horrible problem tho... Maybe it would work like a sort of a cross between G.Spee (big guns) and Katori (practically immobile but good range). AA and secondaries would be quite awesome for the size tho. Hehehe! And the best part is, that it would probably became every Finnish player's patriotic duty to buy one immediately, so I imagine they would sell quite a few too - A cunning plan! ... Oh and this just came to me now (hours later - I am slow). This might actually be a feasible scenario in much the same way than current Italian premiums, because the Finnish Panzership was actually handed over to the Soviets, as war reparations. So they already got the blueprints too...

HEEY! You forgot Finland! We had at the least 1 or 2 boats too...

I'm fine with random maps idea. But of course, the will be lots of salty complainers about maps not being balanced afterwards. Just saying... BUT it would be a good idea in order to provide increased variety and in this way keep the game more interesting for longer also for those more experienced players. I mean really, playing 2 Brothers map for the UMP-Teenth time can get a little stale at times, and the same goes for any set map to be honest, it might also be a good way for WG to come up with new map ideas quickly. Have a vote after a random map game and if both teams liked it, try to make it permanent? BUT of course,. since current random map generators generally are what they are (they tend to suck), perhaps just have a random map once every 5 games or so for starters just to see how it goes...

Convert them to Bitcoin?

Yeah, something like that would work. I have the same situation myself even after I switched all my consumables to premium and pay for them in credits.... I would not mind contributing some to other's developments or one thing or another.

Hey! At the least the ship was good, so that counts as 50% right?

NoNo, @beercrazy my friend... You misunderstand. I am sure we are all fine having incompetent and idiotic players in the game (after all, according to all evidence such creatures constitute 90% of mankind, as a whole). They have a valuable role to play after all, just as long as they are in the OTHER team that is...

True dat.. I once managed a record 5 times in a row in Yugumo... Had to change ship and tier + add some useful flags just to be sure there won't be a 6th...

Yeah, @brick128 this is a common perception and I have begun to think it has some merit to it too. It may be because of a slight error in terms of game design. You see the maps do not actually provide much cover so lower-tier, shorter-range ships typically cannot compete or even survive long in a standard match but routinely get blasted right out of the water very soon, the same happens to Cruisers of any tier. All this is of course due to an error in game design, namely the gun stats, which determine these things. You see the higher the tier, the more accurate, devastating and the longer their killing range. Now this would be fine IF there was a counter to this, but there isn't so naturally it will result in a long range sniping match by design. -> "Working, as designed" then. The only way this could be solved, is to either go back to some sort of stealth-fire mechanism, which would allow lower tier some measure of counted and survivability (this is not gonna happen so forgettit) OR tweak the gun stats so that although their range increases, their actual accuracy increase would be more limited (in short big guns would remain relatively inaccurate at long ranges) this would force a shorter range engagement and discourage camping at the same time. Of course, the maps could also be redesigned so that there would be more available cover to counter the direct long range threat to Cruisers, DD and lower tier ships.

Never been detonated in Hipper, though it is a bit of an "off ship" for me too. But I have begun having some fairly good games in her too just recently, even managing to Citadel the much vaunted Roon several times from a distance (well not too long, some 10-12km away) so there is still hope. Just keep practicing. I am specially proud of that one, I am new to playing Cruiser and never used to manage any Citadels on anything from any distance or angle. Hhehehe! But play and learn I guess.

Hhhhehehe! @RethyI Thaats nothiing! You should have seen the "Atagoland"(give cruiser a heal and it totally becomes a battleship right?) plague and the "Tirpizia" torpedo-boat menace(I have torps now so no need to use main guns, just sneak undetected within 6km of the enemy) of the days old. There was a time, when seeing several of either in your own team meant almost certain instant, ignominious defeat. Luckily that has now changed a bit, but of course the danger still exists. I tend to be of the opinion, that premium ships should be "unlocked" for a player very much the same way than regular Silver ships are. Meaning that you could only buy a tier 7 premium, once you have reached that tier in your regular ship tree (and in the corresponding ship class too). That would guarantee some minimum level of competence (granted it is not much, but something at the least). BUT That will never happen, would hit the WG Shop's premium ship sales way too hard... One can dream tho, maybe someday - After I design my very own warships game... On the other hand (and this just came to me). WG already has a sh*tload of low tier premiums available. This arrangement would certainly boost their sales.. And so when players progress through the tiers this might actually cause them to buy a larger number of premium ships overall than they would otherwise, since they could not go "straight to the top" immediately. Hmm... I mean, why even bother buying Aurora, when you can have Atago right away? But of course, that would require that WG have some sort of long term sales development strategy instead of a simple "Grab money now"-mentality...

Yeeah, I try to remember to do that too. But somehow I never seem to use up all the Compliments / reports in a day. Have no idea how many I'm supposed to be doing tho. Perhaps I'm just too picky or something. usually I give roughly 5-6 compliments per day both to the opposing and our own team (teamwork stuff for ours, good play for others), though admittedly, If I have been forced to compliment the opposing team several times it must have been an awfully bad day for me winratewise... As for reporting someone, only do it in case of flagrant team killing, cowardice (basically hiding in borders just to survive and not even firing, while the game is still on) or absolute and gross ineptitude. Happens maybe once or twice on an average day - Maximum. If the day starts going any worse than that, I will just stop playing for a while and take a pint or 2 to calm the nerves.

Well @GTX10086, this theorem makes good sense to me. I certainly play mostly in Division during weekends, as both I and my usual band of "playmates" (and sadly I do not mean the attractive, well-formed kind either) have some time off work and so are able to do so. Unfortunately for me tho, my playmates tend to Potato even more than I do, so it doesn't help my winrate any... Sigh!

OMG! You did that? You evil, evil man! But yeah, I've often noticed the same trend. My karma tends to go down, sometimes quite drastically, just when I did especially good... But then again, it sometimes also increases, when I did well, there's no logic to it so I just stopped looking for one and enjoy my ratings, as they are... That's just fine.

Sorry dude. I basically agree it's irrational... BUT WG cannot take away people's God given right to be total and complete a*sholes. That is everyone's God given right. That's why it cannot be improved on either. Sad, but true, my best advise would be to not obsess abbouttit. It is what it is and it won't matter anyways. No bonuses on offer.

Eh? Oh well, that explains it then. Perhaps all their 152mm HE was made in EU and now suddenly became unavailable.

Well, @Seeteufelhistorically she was initially developed, as a pure AA ship, but then of course it was realized that a DD with only AA guns ain't worth much so some torpedoes were added as an afterthought, so she is kinda gunboat DD now. But you're right her maneuverability is quite poor and the guns are not that effective due to their small caliber eventhough she fires lots of shells. I like her, but always have problems getting good results in her. Actually this is precisely why she should have the DefAA (even if OP, since the chances to actually use it would be quite rare), simply because she is liable to perform poorly in every other role, so just to give her something, where she could occasionally shine and justify her existence in the game does make sense. Also, even IF there is a CV in the game, there's no guarantee that any of the planes are going to go anywhere near to where the poor Akizuki happens to be at the time and if the planes do not go to Akitsuki - Akitsuki is way too slow to chase after them, so even in that scenario success would be highly situational. Your idea of faster torp reload for IJN DD's as a whole makes good sense, IJN was in fact the only navy at the time, which actually carried multiple torpedo reloads (or one) even in destroyers (most other just had them loaded in tubes at port and then relied on guns alone). For this reason it would also be reasonable to acknowledge the fact and give them a reload-buff towards that end - Well, that and the fact that their guns are still pretty much useless.
