Exactly. The skill required for ranked is to carry your team repeatedly, even if you have to drag them screaming and kicking. Sometimes it doesn't work, in the lower tiers you keep your star if you did well enough (or what WG considers to be worthy base exp, that may differ). Also, you aren't really good nor experienced enough to succeed in ranked in the first place. Just look where these delusions of grandeur brought you - to the forums, complaining about your teammates not carrying you. Well, apparently you're uncarryable.

I just noticed I get flavour music even though I turned everything off in that regard....

You could take Colbert, where the gimmick is never on cooldown.... @Chandra_fighter not all the ships are for everyone. It was expensive and you still suck with it and/or loathe it, I get it - but the ship is fine. Just not for you.

Some people may do better and really good players can team up to be a force multiplier - but most can't or simply get carried by someone who is only ruining his win rate. I don't mind doing this for friends, but thus my solo win rate is basically a few percent higher. But really, don't let me deter you, I really think it might be a fun idea - it's just not for me.

The amount of players I guess, if everyone from the forum joins. I'd even join the chat, but I'm not really interested in divisions...

And while we're at it: Things might also be relevant. Just like Kurfurst - Gameplay is probably similar:

Also:

Yeah. But it's an arcade game. Because fighting against BBs that have a cleveland strapped to either side, as a cleveland, is not fun.

Nah man. Look at the graph again.

ASW ranges are intentional. If it's too good, you get short range. Or zero, in case of Minotaur. Also that's why Druid actually rocket launches the derp charges to the rear.

It averages out to where you belong. It won't average out to 50% if that's what you mean. Or if you mean your teams average competence? Well, yes, that will average out, too. A little more, a little less, depending on your own skill. Also, losing an DD early in the game, making the whole flank collapse can lead to very bad results. It seems like you lost two.

I even made a picture for those who don't want to watch the replay...

Having a very low win rate is as exceptional as having a very good one, assuming the person in question actually plays and doesn't just afk or trolls by camping the J line with his DD. Having a 60% win rate doesn't mean you carry 6 in 10 games. It means you manage to make a difference in one of 10 matches.

You're not the only one here who blames what can only be described as "conspicracy theory", and that is being generous. Much more likely is that you are a bad to mediocre player with a bit of bad luck. That happens to good players, too, with you it's just a bit more likely. Read some guides, I personally can't recommend yuro enough. Fun to watch, gems of knowledge strewn about: https://www.youtube.com/@Yurobeat

This is a severe case of git gud. To this, one must realize that there is a difference between perceived competence and actual competence and only if one is honest enough to look for ones own faults and not seek blame with the team, the phases of the moon, some conspiracy theory or whatever, one can greatly improve. That's the way it worked for me at least....

That is highly plausible - but then I was shooting a german BB, and we all know that the german BBs primary function is that of a dmg pinata. On the other hand, having a rolling walker for german BBs, too, would just be in line with secondaries not requiring manual aiming. Maybe this hypothesis has more merit than I give it credit for....

Yeah, people blame matchmaking for their own deficiencies, we know, nothing new. But what where you implying with that cryptic "defeatlist". Please say it out loud - but be prepared that I'm going to laugh if it's stupid.

Sane people use free exp, just saying. There are enough guides here in the forum on how to optimize the gain. The ships available through the research bureau are some of the most fun and intriguing you can get in the game and I believe you're missing out. But then, I clearly see too many Gibraltars lately anyway.

Also speccing into RPF helps if DD issues persist. At least you know from which direction to expect torpedos. Used up all skill points on dealing more damage? Tough luck... or git gud so you don't need RPF anymore.

Sorry, in my book, carrying harder is at least 50% more exp than the one in second place or something in that direction. Also: What's that supposed to mean?

He's moving into the direction of the manually fired shots. When in doubt, please watch the video. If you believe this is a matter just because he's reversing, please watch my replay where the Tirpitz is clearly going forward. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I quote myself loosely here: If anything, I would politely ask you to continue any personal messages or other tread derailing you have for me on a private message basis, because I actually did put you on ignore for private messages - so I'm now happy to receive anything you wish to tell me there.
