Finally did broke the luck in my first T10 ranked match. Going to go forth with Monty, but took one game with Megazao: So honorable, but all is fair in love and war they say ^^ Best thing with Conq is when people think you stay HE only: I guess he just wanted to torp. Oh, didn't realise I was also listening to this while playing ^^

14th Ranked match and 14th win, the luck goes on. All luck no skill! @Black0rchid Oh the irony dear fellow "forumite" with hidden stats. Maybe next time check the facts before opening up. I could have maybe played the situation differently, but I pulled my as* out, survived and the end results speak for themselves.

10th Ranked match and 10th win Playing with fire here, afraid when the luck turns

I guess that one week pause equals to sacrificing ten lambs/ponies , as my first eight ranked matches were all wins This is too good to continue

Not really sure what's going on here but that Iowa tantrum and Bongou's reaction to it made me laugh my as5 off

That's just your own interpretation of my vague sentence. There was a theoretical possibility for individuals to get accepted into alpha and thus earn the Iwaki. A possibility nevertheless. If you didn't get chosen to alpha then sucks to be you. Me too as I wasn't there either. I guess I could have phrased my sentence better to avoid possibility for semantics and reflect more what I meant, i.e. everyone as individual entity had a chance to be chosen and thus there was a possibility. CBT was more accessible true, but still not free for all. First you had to be lucky to get in, like during alpha and only after some time WG brought the option to BUY an access with Sims/Gremmy/Yubari. So you got in by being lucky or using money. Here the people who couldn't afford the money could say that "there was not a chance to get Arkansas because WG decided who became closed beta tester for free and who didn't". After preorder packages were implemented people could decide themselves to join CBT yes, but not for free, thus still excluding some of the people who wanted to join. Whether people could decide themselves if they got into specific phase of testing or not doesn't matter. The principle is that Iwaki was meant as an exclusive reward for those, let them then be called the lucky ones, who got in. Same principle goes for Arkansas. If you weren't there to get them for whatever reasons, dependant on you or not, then ouch. People can twist the name as much as they want, but the name itself doesn't really matter so much. It's the model and stats that make those ships unique. You can ask for a sistership of Iwaki, with different stats, model and perks/consumables for all I care, but the time for acquiring Iwaki and Arkansas itself is over. Those ships were meant to be exclusive rewards, and as such they shall stay. That's all for me on this topic.

Sorry, we need our precious energy elsewhere to spam other threads, byeeeeeeeeeeeee *runs into horizon* Choose the cake: (Contains, well, Higurashi spoilers, you have been warned.)

From yesterday but whatever. When I understood the team was beyond repair I yoloed into A and still managed to achieve more than the rest. Then this game. With @Skyllon we met @loppantorkel Sadly our efforts were down the drain. From this into this.

Selling those ships even without Alpha/Beta in their names was brought up about two years ago, and my opinion still stays the same: Absolute heresy! If WG has any sense of dignity they need only 5s to consider that request to come up with the only answer that is NO. There was one possibility to get Iwaki and Arkansas, if you didn't get them just suck it up. They were pretty much WG's only Thank You for those who took part in the closed phase testing, and still some people who didn't take part dare to ask for those ships If you want Arkansas without Beta-tag, there is Wyoming. At least Iwaki is completely unique. She resembles Tenryu, but she isn't the same class. Alpha/Beta in their names or not, those ships were intented to be unique rewards for those who played during certain period of testing. You can still become a supertester and earn your Alabama ST, thus that ship isn't in same situation.

I guess RNGsama heard my cursing prayers while I took two games with PoY before ragequitting.

When shells land just efficiently: B cap was mine, had to do tanking myself, but we won so all good I guess. Lost both rear turrets, well who needs them. It's not all about damage:

Maybe now I could get a dedicated captain for my Payfap I mean fast and actually start playing with her

Not as distinctive as it used be. The fact the sounds on other ships have improved also lessens the difference/uniqueness Yama had with her sounds. Well, I'm just again yearning for those old times

Yama is demanding as always and the game around her has changed, but she is still worth it. I still want to get back Yama's gunsounds from early CBT when she had so distinctive gunsound that you could easily tell when she fired just by using ears. It was so distinctive roar when everyone else had rather lame sounds.

What about new upgrade called SDSC (Scuba Divers Suicide Club)? Found in slot 1 they swim around the ship and wave a flag when they spot an incoming Long Lancer On topic itself, just no. Reasons have been told already.

Kudos to icelandair1 for DD'ing. With Elsaß I like to go balls deep into enemy lines. What would it be So our toptiers were utter shieet and have overall no idea how to play. Maybe those bigmouths have inverted exp table or something, as bottom must be the place for best and stronkerest players right? In triple BB divisions we trust Anyways, to the last game of the day:

Kraken so close, got it on next battle though.

Ah, got 50k FXP from the Varyag mission one.

After 35 mins of work I got the moneys Original pic:

I could come and uhhmmm, borrow that Higurashi collection ^^ As manga I have only read Onikakushi, but now I actually got Watanagashi as I thought I could read it a bit forwards. One reason I haven't just immediately bought all the Higurashi stuff is money, but also I have been waiting if the local publisher would release Higurashi, as they stick to the original JPN format (aka cover leaflets and no brick sized books a la Yen Press (murican's have no style ;P), like seen on top of your shelf. Also reading using your mothertongue is always easier), but it seems that publisher is barely even alive anymore. Also couldn't unsee that Yuudachi figure/rine? brand Taito, as it means skill in finnish.

If for once I speak seriously in this thread; In my opinion opening a new SCRUB recruitment thread would be a big symbolic thing. Abandoning this thread without it being forcefully locked would give an impression that an era has come to an end. While not de jure member at the moment, and thus not really having a word on decisions, for me this thread will stay as the one and only. It's not just a thread, it's a diary of memories, something that has a greater meaning for me. Back to the normal business: Jesus your ponyvids are disturbing. Ooops, did I just prove that I watched it (For my defence; only partially ) I guess you need something to balance out the peace these cool months bring to you (as we know how much you enjoy the summer months ^^). Hava during the summer: Here it is has been even as much as +13C during day. Aka hot summer by local standards I guess it's time to return Anyways, next week shall go and try to find some Lá Fhéile Pádraig camos for myself, if not them, then at least grab some Seigmenn en route drooooooooooooolll. I love those. Last but not the least some waifus

...who took part in the 1st CB season. The percentage will be even less when compared to the total amount of players who play WoWS, as not all of them take part in CBs. (Just nitpicking, don't mind too much ^^) For those who want something ultra super *insert adjectives* rare, there is the KotS flag. Isn't it given just for 14 people at time on server?

Most likely a Paravane

~ 3900 Stalingrad flags given in season 1. To put things into some kind of perspective, ~ 62000 Bismarcks were given during the Hunt for Bismarck campaign and ~ 1900 players on average have made it to rank 1 in last four seasons. The amount of players who made it to rank 1 on seasons 1-4 is even less (Ranked stats). Of course Bismarck was easier to get, but still only about 20% of the participants got her (i.e. finished the campaign). In 1st CB season about 5% of the participants got the flag. During the seasons 5-8 of RB, there has been on average 84000 participants, of which the ~1900 is about 2,2%, so it could be argued that CB's are more "rewarding" than RB's. Though there are many reasons why the numbers differ, f.ex. not everyone likes both modes, some can play only one of them (not being in a clan, or disliking RB's), not everyone is interested for top prizes (like I usually just aim for the R15 commemorative flag on RB's) and you can't directly compare these different modes, but I'll leave further number/reason analysis for those who are better in it. Anyways, what I wanted to say is that in my opinion the rarity of Stalingrad is fine as it is now.
