... Kuznetzsov's super powers works on balans subs! Seems like Lesta has the hand up the rear of the... puppet, making sure the bias is still stronk, comrade! First blood with a sub is rather common and not flooding or burning to death would be quite convenient, especially as your repairs are limited. In this case it didn't help as balans sub collided with protected class, but still - you may say, if they even fix the oil spil, that's fine, the environment will thank him, but that makes russian subs even worse than the others. Can't think of any other captain skill being as useful as Kuznetzov, again. Maybe the french one? Also, commanders with improved skills for submarines when @Seraphice?

Superpowers are bad, I'll give you that, because they have a lot of impact and WG borked the balancing (Kutznezov anyone?) - but I play my randoms competetively, thankyouverymuch. And they're disabled only in CW, not in ranked nor in brawls, AFAIR. Also, I have them all, so I don't care about the scrubs. And if even CVs get specially tailored superpowers to even better on everyone in range (and everyone is in range), I want that, too, it's only fair.

Thanks, I almost lost faith in humanity and/or my ability to communicate. I hope so. Get on with it. There is so much advice in this thread, please read up on it and stop blaming your team.

Opposed to @El2aZeR opinion I do not think the Lütjen superpower is op, it usually procs once and that usually way too early in the game - or not at all, if there is a CV around. The heal is nice though, if it works, but it has yet to make a difference. It's way worse than Kuznetzov, especially considering that first blood isn't really rare. It's just a bit better than Sansonetti for a sub and that is because Sansonetti doesn't have a single thing working with subs (unless manual gun gimmick for italian subs). Philippe Auboyneau is probably the best, from the stats alone, +10% flooding chance when you cap and 5% reload speed after a devstrike (i.e. after murdering a poor hapless DD/CA, which happens rather often with the alpha) The question for you was a bit different, though, I was wondering when the special captains get bonuses to certain skills like they do for the surface ships and even for the scourge of the skies. And now that I mention it, the scourge of the sky get special superpowers that work just with planes. When will these superpowers be reconsidered to include subs? I mean, just look at poor Sansonetti, he feels like a Druid on a "set on fire or flooding" mission....

https://shiptool.st/selected?s=BC610&c=top&p=ap&rm=8 Play around with the range and you see what happens. Also with that kind of question, you might want to read about overmatch, because some people expect armor penetration to help here, too - but it doesn't, it's only caliber. https://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Ship:Armor_thresholds Also please note the ricochet angles, that is also a major part of what makes AP work (or not) Edit: Kudos that you noticed the error in your ways and try to improve yourself now. Just rolling your face on the keyboard in a tryhard division with a seal club may work at tier 4 or 5 but at some point you need to git gud.

Canarias is fun - quite the heavy punch against anything, if the enemy uses age of sail tactics.

This is why I loathe these idiotic missions. At least OP did this in coop where rolling your face on the keyboard is the minimum requirement to win, so no harm done. But all these who do this in randoms...

His reality filter is very strong. There is no breaking through....

So - what you're saying is that you're a very good player, killing lots of enemy ships and you only lose 60% of the time because your trash team holds you back. Again?

If I have too much karma, I type "I just love the ping sound" into the chat. That's the hard mode - If you then still manage to get more karma than you lose, then you've won the internet.

I don't know how to explain this to you as you seem to be inable to grasp simple correlations. A 40% win rate means that you still win 40% of the time, even though you try your best to lose the game for your team. Four won games are not impressive if you then lose six more. That just means you are a bad player.

This. The younger generation cannot imagine the imprint that this... this thing left on our souls. I've once broke a tooth, eating sushi, on the one thing that wasn't tender. Even 20 years later, only smelling wasabi makes me puke. Izumo is like that.

Izumo. It also counts as worst tier 8 and tier 10 trash boat - because it's like a black hole of trash, absorbing the trashieness of nearby tiers.

For me it's sealclubbers pretending to be good players and talking trash about their team.

Some people sure have mixed up who is being oppressed and who is doing the oppressing....

Just ask your clan leader @Fastmotion , he's a recognized expert in arbitrary wishful calculus and can get results when adding numbers nobody else ever dreamt about. The other way is to just put two captains on the ship. Of course that doesn't work at the same time, but I mostly play premium/special ships where I can change the captain for free, so I usually have differently skilled captains for the same boat. Unfortunately the modules play a role, too, switching these gets expensive, so I try to avoid that, but usually a favourite distribution shines through pretty quick.

Yes, even bad players can be carried into gold, we knew. Also, with your experience in tier 5 gameplay, you should be able to carry this all alone.

Ahitaka is the vaunted Amagi A hull, recycled as a premium..

I've had asymmetrical spawns, too. If you notice in time, run and kite, there is nothing else to do while you hope the team on the other flank actually doesn't use their superior numbers to camp in J10. So - can happen.

Glad I could help.

As in allowing you to dominate the entire match if you're very good? Yes. You just go to hell for it.

Then we'd all play Midway. No, what I'm trying to say is that it's not nearly as exciting.....

Have you considered... not closing in?
