But... but... @Seraphice said they're testing a solution to the roflstomp issue! And it didn't work!? It's as if no one could have guessed!

Sure, we had this Gacha game discussion already. Yes, Diablo is the scum of the earth and I actively support a political solution to these scummy and exploitative mechanics aimed at the weak willed and weak minded. Untill then, I simply refuse to be that stupid.

It basically amounts to whalebait for new players. Yes, scummy, but not aimed at me.

So... not so much, I guess?

Pain and suffering.

I'd propose some kind of seat belt. Just bolt your seat to the floor.

Oh boy. Not going to recommend Gibraltar to anyone, it's too much special interest - but the real gimmick is the dragster acceleration. Also, she's capable of bouncing most cruisers and only suffers only from the atrocious amounts of BBs with the stupid overmatch mechanic or the roller walker players with their secondaries. Also, blapping DDs wins games, the flank folds without spotters. She remains the ship I have the highest win rate in a relevant amount of games. Besides the acceleration and chunking DDs is hilarious fun. Anything else you wrote, I can agree with.

Secondary Musashi rules the waves. Puny german bloated cruisers get penetrations ... frontally.

Much better than any legendary upgrade are the RB ships in my opinion, but YMMV

Man, that is atrocious. I get it, you don't want to accept the fact that you're the one to blame, but maybe I can reach you with a simple hint. Do play the same ship over and over again, as every ship has it's own individual quirks, how fast it turns, how far to lead your shots and so on. If you always die early in the match, select two very different ships in an alternating fashion. In your case maybe even three. But playing every ship in your habor once without competence leads to exactly the results you're experiencing right now. Also watching better players in the game you just died in can help you improve, so you don't need to just leave the game. Edit: Wait - is it possible that you have been testing that hypothesis that you get better RNG when playing ships you haven't played in a while? So... how's that working out for you?

Easier to pay attention.

What are you talking about? Refreshing would be trash players being honest enough to not blame 'manipulated matchmaking' or 'personalized RNG' for their win rate.

RB ships are rebranded free exp ships, just with added cost in time, resources and/or sanity. As I personally consider RB ships to have the most fun ships available, even more so than steel, I feel that my free exp I have left over are better transmuted into RB points.

Patton said this:

The issue is - is coal worth more or less than free exp (which probably depens on what is availble to you) and which free exp ship are worth it in the first place. Groningen? Possibly. Azuma? Maybe. Hayate at 2m free exp? But also depends on the cost in coal later on. Also your desire to get RB ships or modules plays a role.

It's arcade game. The same person thought it's fun to give submarines supercavitating speeds and laser guided torpedos. The same person who enjoys using a CV to crap on other people and actively prevents their correction.

Well within statistical variance. This can happen to good players, too, it's just very unlikely. With you, it's just unlikely. With a worse player it would be just exceptional. And then there are players where this would be just below average. You can have the same as a winning streak without playing any better. Yes, that experience can be as elating as this experience is frustrating - but the only thing to influence the outcome is what you do yourself. Go watch some youtube videos, I personally can't recommend yuro enough: https://www.youtube.com/@Yurobeat There are many resources available: 'git gud' takes quite some time, though. In the event you're unwilling or incapable to get better, you can also subscribe to conspiracy theories on how you get "manipulated matchmaking" and "personalized RNG" even though you're secretly a super unicum skill player and as it happens, it's just your team holding you back. Just don't forget to dress the ocassion on the annual get together: Seriously - don't be like them. On a more serious note - this is what can happen if personal perception and reality disagree: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance

Wait, what? I use Musashi with a secondary build, for faster dispersion of great justice with the reload skill....

20230328_221407_PISD509-Paolo-Emilio_44_Path_warrior.wowsreplay Guess the base exp.

600. Should have used Groningen and torture someone to death slowly. That's worth more, I guess.

A fool and his money... man, I don't even pay for the game, this year I'm entirely freeloading my premium account. I'm ritch enough to keep a whole Flamu in the cellar indefinitely, but I'm not nearly stupid enough to even buy a small part. Also, disposing of this toxic sludge once you're bored enough is probably more expensive than the thing in the first place.

The bots cower in fear and weep their eyes out.

Sorry, it was never my intention to overstax your attention span, as it was mostly directed at the OP. Not caring about the gacha mechanics and only doing what is fun for you is actually the way to do it, in my opinion. I just happen to enjoy ranked.
