    [Question] Carol Clash which team leads to Dido?

    No tier 10, so only interesting if you're wading into sealclubber territory.

    Guess the reason WG doesn't do this. It's not an oversight, it's deliberate.

    gold league

    Some people don't need to wise up - they won't make it to gold rank 1 anyway. Unless carried by a lucky spree or paying someone money for it. I know of both. So, well... don't give up hope, I guess?

    Why play Ohio over Thunderer?

    uh.... It basically is a different thing, Mademoiselle Marceau is an open water attention , Colbert does that only out of necessity. They're similar but not the same - if you enjoy Marceau, I'm sure you like Colbert. Just watch BBs wet their pants once you aim your golden shower of love in their general direction, it's hilarious. And all BBabies deserve to burn. Fires per minute are 20 vs 10, too... but alas, no torps. But hilarious AP dpm at short ranges.

    To his credit, he said "he won't try".

    Completely Serious Ship Suggestion

    Actually funny. But who wants to play tier 2 with bots and sealclubbing scum? And who of these few would spend actual dubs for something like that? Which also has to be modelled and balanced like a tier 10 you can easily put up for the price of two to three AAA game and some people with questionable common sense will buy it. Especially if it strokes their national ego. So, +1 for the idea, it's hilarious. Unfortunately doomed from the start.

    WRONG! It's his team! And cheaters! Or maybe both? Also he once won against a good player, so it's literally impossible he's bad! (Also his math skills are apparently impeccable, as are his WoWs skills) In all seriousness, unless he stops blaming external factors and realizes the issue is himself, he won't change and can't git gud. That's why I'm trying to drive that point home, I don't want to ridicule him but I want him to do the first baby steps in the right direction. Also, the low tiers teach you nothing about the game once you learned the basics and dealing with/and or using the new gimmick that come with the higer tiers. You realize that when the sealclubbers find themselves matched with tier 10 players in a forced low tier ranked or, gods beware, the sealclubbers try to play tier 10 themselves and all three of them eat torps in the same smoke.

    Why play Ohio over Thunderer?

    Can you share your opinion concerning Daring vs Vampire 2?
  9. Karkong_the_Impaler

    Why play Ohio over Thunderer?

    Uh... Colbert for fun = Druid for win = Gibraltar for win >> Slava for training your aim = Yolo Emilio for fun Don't have the others. Ohio is a close range Monty and I rather like Monty, so... probably something to get next time I have RB to spend. Sevastopol I've played a few times, but I still prefer Incomparable, you just shed a bit of the excess length and a lot of the blap, although the zombie heal is fun. Vampire 2 is highly interesting, I need to play it to deceide if it's cool - but I haven't even gotten Daring yet Tier 9 is now the new tier 8 getting by supershits. Yolo is still fun, once in a while. For a player like you, with situational awareness and map reading ability, you could make it work really well. Also, your SAP can take chunks out of enemy DDs - unfortunately the reload is very, very bad. The best games I had where I did the least yolo charges, alone the threat of me being at the flank made the BBs run. Almost like a submarine So, if you're ever interested in playing not the DD but the torpedo, Yolo is a fun experience. I can't really make it work, though, I'm not patient enough. Siegfried... can't even understand why they put it into the RB. Probably so that there is something german, too? Colbert? It's plain fun. Ask anyone: And now concerning the elephants in the room Well - simple. Gibraltar and Druid work for me. In a game without BBs, Gibraltar is king - you can blap anything broadside, you have an acceleration to squeeze the brain out of your ears and you can still slap angled targets at least as good as you get with your 16mm overmatch and 10mm fuse arming. Also what you're doing to DDs is fun and engaging in WGs mindset and probably illegal anywhere else. Druid... just go and murder DDs, there is no one more capable in this regard. Then proceed to murder CL or farm BB and CA superstructure.

    Silver ranked what to play?

    This is one of the reasons Tier 7 is so atrocious. At tier 10 you can make everything work against everything, if you have enough skill. Tier 7 has Atlanta and Sinop and all that crap.

    Does that mean you understand this now? I really don't know how to explain this any better. Would it help if I type slower? I never claimed that. But then I didn't come here to about my team and/or cheaters when the only consistent thing to blame was myself.
  12. Karkong_the_Impaler

    Silver ranked what to play?

    I find tier 7 ranked to be atrocious (just a tiny bit less bad than tier 5), so I can't be arsed to progress to gold this time as this would take too much effort and also supershits. Pain vs. suffering.

    silver ranked easy..take this! :

    https://shiptool.st/selected?s=JC012RC209&c=top&p=ap&rm=12 Riga has 50 500 hp. Ibuki shells deal 4700 damage for a citadel (and has a heal). Either your math skills are as advanced as your WoWs skills or you have no clue. Yes, it's the latter, you didn't even know how this works. I personally take great pride in being called a cheater, because that means I've handed someone his behind in a very spectacular way - others might be offended, so it's frowned upon by the mods, especially as you display his name here. The only thing that's surprising is that he showed that much broadside for you to citadel him, I guess he expected you to be as bad as potato alert told him and assumed you don't even know what AP is. Good for you, being underestimated is helpful. But concerning the most important issue here, the first step to improvement: https://wows-numbers.com/player/590162465,CSS_modding_1/ You are bad. Really, really bad, much worse than what WG consierst to be "plain bad", see above. Please watch the videos provided by WG to understand about the basics and then proceed to the more advanced tutorials. I personally can't stop recommending yuro - even for the ships you don't play yourself, because you understand how the work. Some of his guides are outdated though. https://www.youtube.com/@Yurobeat Now please, stop making a fool of yourself and git gud. It' not the others cheating, it's not your team failing, it's YOU.

    Ha - got an idea. After the match you have to vote for the best enemy player and that's the one who gets to keep his star. Unfortunately, people know each other... but in most cases, this could work.

    GK legendary upgrade worth 19200 RP?

    Yeah, because sniping is what GK excel at. It's a better Mecklenburger, after all.

    special warships

    Smart players turn off the crap camos - there are some where it's harder to deceide if he's moving forward or backwards afair, just klick the small cogwheel to the right of your ship caroussel. Added advantage, you don't have to look at that and those with questionable aesthetic sense can still do it and everyone is happy.

    Actually not the worst idea, but at the same time the experience gain needs to be reworked...

    How to play CV. Easy way not to be useless.

    Come on, cut him some slack. If you're really trash - and currently 70% of the CVs I meet are utter trash - could improve with this guide. You won't git gud, but at least you improve.

    How about giving US light cruisers AA that actually works?

    Still, a light cruiser is deletable by a lucky stray dispersion shell - and deceiding if you want to eat the AP rockets, Malta AP bombs or the BB salvos is quite the conundrum as you can't do anything against all of them at the same time.

    typical gold ranked quali

    Yes, even @Fastmotion managed to get carried into gold. Some people get lucky, some don't. But on average if you are skilled enough, you will make it. This is the nature of WoWs matchmaking, you get an entirely random team, sometimes you can carry as hard as you like and still lose, some times you can afk and still win. The player skill only makes a difference in the games that could go either way. You can believe that you're very good and deserve to be in gold and you didn't make because your team is "crap" all the time. But man - it's you who is not good enough for gold, not your team. Concerning the brilliant idea with the tokens - who exactly wants the return of the long range damage farming hindenburg, being useless in the back row but first place in the end?
  21. Karkong_the_Impaler

    How about giving US light cruisers AA that actually works?

    Like I care. That is all what is wrong about CVs. The very worst CVs make you lose 70% of the game. Any other class being AFK, not even DDs, manage this. CVs need a good swipe to the teeth with a nerf bat. Or at least make them prey for submersible scum, so they actually have to move around on the map, staying with their team and being in danger of actually being shot at during the course of the battle and not only when it's mop up time.

    GK legendary upgrade worth 19200 RP?

    Also, the upgrades are often baked into the premium version of the ships - shikishima has yamato legendary accuracy, thunderer has conq rudder shift and all that without losing an upgrade slot. Noteworthy, as far a I know Salem doesn't have Desmo leg "leg" mod. And primarily, while GK isn't a bad ship for an experienced player, it got power crept substantially. I'd only get these mods for ships I already excel in and GK for sure ain't that ship On the other hand, I already have it from the missions.... not that I play GK more than trice a year.

    typical gold ranked quali

    It's like homeopathy. Anecdotal evidence isn't evidence. Basically you're too bad at tier 10 to play gold ranked. The ability required to play there is to repeatedly carry. Your tryhard div sealclubbing doesn't teach you the skills required to survive there. Accept the fact that you don't belong there. I mean, the "shits" managed to get through the qualification and you don't - does that tell you nothing? And what insult do you have for that kind of player?

    silver ranked easy..take this! :

    You're not winning by entering the cap first, also not by capping it first - you win by taking the cap last and keeping it. Ok, there is no away around it and I don't mean it disrespectful, although you gave ample reason: You much worse than what WG themselves considers to be plain bad. First thing - it's you and not your team, you are the liablity, they have to drag you through the matches because apart from taking up a slot and being a damage sponge for a short while, you don't provide much. So I would politely ask you to get rid of the notion that your team figts as if they don't want to win, that they stay back because they just roll their face on the keyboard. They just do things you do not understand. Please learn the basics:

    How to play CV. Easy way not to be useless.

    And the best thing? In about a thousand games! This also shows the lesser impact of CVs compared to the good old "may the better CV win" RTS games - if you're basically afk as a CV, you still have a win rate of 30% as opposed to 20% with RTS. But even that ultradummycum can spot other players to death by sheer luck.
