    Bug report on Detonation, being on 93% and then detonated

    Yes. Just not a single hit when at full health.

    What is it that Mushi can overmatch that the 457 of the vermin can't? Does it have the Riga deck plating? Edit: Brainfart. Is Illinois clad in 32mm?

    Great - But I am not sure I understand - from where do you think should I move on? And to where? And why? PM

    Well, some peoples reserves apparently are depleted much faster than my own, because I still manage to play randoms all the while I have a family of five, I fly, I do sports and I teach engineering in my spare time. I personally fail to see what is interesting or even fun about the ever same bots doing the ever same things, but whatever floats your boat man. But I believe if you can enjoy the snorefest that is coop, you can (and should) enjoy it until the end. I'm not leaving randoms, either, not even if there is a 10% average win rate stacked against me.

    You're welcome. But since you are intent on misinterpreting, I'll try to write slower: I personally alt tab all the time, to check on obscure ship radar ranges and win rate of players with hidden stats, switch my music and whatnot and haven't been punished once. And anyone who came here and made a thread about this was never undeserving (apart from maybe these two I mentioned)

    Even worse, he acknowledged that by leaving the match he will get punished. And then he complains about being punished. Srsly, is this an entitlement issue? Or an intellectual one? Or why would anyone think that he won't get punished?!

    again: the unsportsmalike conduct does not work correct!

    I have yet to see someone undeserving of that automated punishment thingy, apart maybe from that DD who got detonated first salvo in a coop match. I mean, even the german CV who thought it funny to kill the DD with secondaries alone actually deserved it, if alone for playing CV. Edit: Your reasoning is ridiculous in the first place, because then you could leave a coop game right at the start. Because they're always won. For even shorter games.

    Met one the other day while playing Vermin aka Vermont. It's actually quite resilient, at a distance (and he kept the distance). On the other hand, at long ranges, the vermin is too agile for its floaty shells. Mushi? Don't know, I'm guessing you'll get the short end of the stick...

    As in "alt tab" or as in "esc - do you really wish to leave the game?"
  11. But why complain about your counter then? You could choose an otherwise weaker cruiser that brings radar to the table to deal with a DD. It's like rock complaining about paper... Also, you bring hydro, torps for smoke combing and secondaries to help with aiming issues - that's way more than other ships have. If you are really entirely incapable of dealing with a DD, thats more akin to a rock complaining about wet toilet paper... Also - you make it sound as if the enemies do have two additional DDs. But your team has one other class more, which also helps, if you manage to fight on your terms.

    Nah. A single stray shell doesn't detonate you anymore - and if you eat the whole salvo, well, maybe you have deserved the chance at detonating? Discounting bovine excrement such as planes ofc. Also, there are modules that help against detonating and there is a flag that makes you immune. Yes, the flag is WG being scummy, but still, it helps, and when I play ships that are susceptible to randomly detonating, I mount them.

    This explains sooooo many things.... Maybe also offer a read aloud option for the minimap? Accessibility seems an issue...

    again: the unsportsmalike conduct does not work correct!

    Ok. Again. Maybe I was being unclear: It's a troll. It relishes in up the game for other players: @Daughter_of_the_Dawn is apparently also one of its accounts, but just look at the name on the screenshot - it's it: And if you want to see its playstyle, just watch the replay: Apparently it tries to skirt the absolute minimum requirements to not get relegated to coop. And it still is able to play and also troll the forums? Why on earth isn't it banned, everywhere? With all its accounts? @Seraphice @YabbaCoe Anyone?
  15. Karkong_the_Impaler

    can we have an explanation please WG

    That's the mistake right there. Are you really talking about Cossack secondaries? Also how on earth do you come to the conclusion that he is backing up when you look at the video and/or the flags/smokestack? You're not helping.
  16. You can easily manipulate this yourself so that you will always have at least one DD on your side: Just play it yourself.
  17. Karkong_the_Impaler

    can we have an explanation please WG

    @Seraphice @YabbaCoe 20230304_210413_PBSC518-Tiger-1959_14_Atlantic.wowsreplay Around the 7:22 mark. When I started shooting at the Tirpitz. The single most accurate ship in the game. It's near impossible to miss three times in a row due to dispersion. Relocking the target helped. Happens to me all the time. And I believe that this workaround having to lock twice is beneath basic game designer honor. PS: Please ignore the ... banter with @Fastmotion (Apparently there is money to be made, if you manage to win an argument against him. On the downside, it's not only a pigeon trying to play chess - it's also the pigeon demanding to be the final arbiter of that chess game.) Edit: I made you a picture:
  18. Instructions unclear - Are we playing the same game? You play exactly one brawl, win it and get 750k silver on top. That's it. Then you proceed to wait for the next season to do it again, with another atrocious setup or tier. I fail to see how exp play into that.

    It uses the edge browser, or it gets the hose again!

    Why is Ranked Battles such a total sht-show?

    Yeah. That was the tier 7 shitshow. But at tier 8 I am perfectly capable of carrying game after game with what is widely considered to be the worst ship in wows - I can easily exploit the skill gap, especially with that box o' gimmicks. The amount of shitshows is thus limited, just only because of the results, not for the lack of trying, though.

    Why is Ranked Battles such a total sht-show?

    And the rest of the games? I mean... Mogami in ranked? One can make it work, but most just farm long range damage for exp but are completely inable to exert any influence over the outcome. That's what I meant with "running in the wrong direction".

    Ragnar Question.

    Unless the enemies remember to 2 key. And Druid eats Ragnars for breakfast, but anything else is probably fair game. As far as I understand, Ragnar suffers a lot unter the supershits and thus isn't played much anymore. I don't have it....
  23. Karkong_the_Impaler

    again: the unsportsmalike conduct does not work correct!

    @Seraphice The real question is - why is this troll not banned? And I mean the game. Wasn't he here not so long ago, going on about his 9 accounts where he uses some for capping and some not? Or was that a different kind of ? Edit: Found the thread: Maybe watch the replay @SnuSnu_RIP provided.
  24. Nah, anyone who realizes that he got scammed, quits. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_Prophecy_Fails

    Why is Ranked Battles such a total sht-show?

    Imagine you're going for races, you're randomly teamed up with a few other individuals as a team. Then you try to race the other team, similarily made up of random people. But then you suddenly find out, one or two or five of your teammates (or the enemy) aren't here for the race at all - they try to run with shoelaces tied together, they run in the wrong direction or they just stand around drooling. Entirely incapable. And/or they're just after the reward and don't really care. The more often they appear to the races, the higher the chance that someone carries them to victory. If you can't, well, maybe they get lucky next time - and they manage three to four games for every single one you do. That's a shitshow.
