Yes, there is exactly the game mode you're looking for. It's called "random". The tier 10 bots in randoms show even more broadside than in coop btw.

Basically coop players can roll their face on the keyboard and still win the game - and many do. I got stuck in a coop match yesterday because three coop mains couldn't kill a single Gneisenau, one circled around an island keeping him on the other side, the Aki smoked up and tried to shatter ap grenades against his belt and the third got himself killed. Alone driving across the map to mop up takes ages. I can believe that games are shorter at the moment. I fail to see the disadvantage. They're short when needed and not too hard when only coop mains play.

I want to join the lottery

https://www.ign.com/articles/epic-games-fine-ftc Not a big fan of the US law system, but for this kind of slapping down a scummy company, it's a good thing indeed. Let's see if that has some influence on the dark patterns used by WG, say, with the loot box mechanics for the weak willed and susceptible.

This and murdering CVs are the only redeeming factors about submarines. We have too many BBs anyway, deleting CLs with bad aim and pure luck and then proceed to cry while burning down or getting penetrated by torpedos...

Pretty much this.

At the moment less incompetent players are flooding coop to farm snowflakes. It could be seasonal. You can turn off the chat entirely, you know?

I propose we send six year olds back to the coal mines, the problem is with the children doing the work. Seriously? Yes, the problem is always with the stupid and the weak letting themselves be exploited. This is why the rest of the society has to protect them. These dark patterns are not an issue for me, I'm just offended on behalf of those who don't even realize they're being manipulated and fleeced.

I believe this is to keep up the fantasy that these things are 'worth' something.

It's annoying, that's what it is. I loathe popups with a passion. And if that player is so trash or uncouth that I put him on ignore, I really, really don't want to join his clan. Is it so hard to ask before sending an invite? It's simply impolite. I'm blaming the generation that sends [edited] pics instead of chatting up a woman. Low skill communication. The worst thing about this that this seems to be effective.

This is the only thing where I disagree. I believe no one is less scummy because he is only earing 1/10th through these gacha mechanics.

I'll try to type this slowly: It's an arcade game loosely based on naval combat. Reality doesn't play into it...

Actually I'm totally OK with that. I really can't see why coop mains should be forced into a game mode that offers them nothing and certainly offers the others on their team nothing.

Depends on the country you live in. Basically it breaks down to gambling. And morally questionable? Everywhere.

But this in turn only leads to the same ships - Schlieffen anyone? - and then people try to strategize and use ships which work against that thing rather well, creating the .... not really enjoyable 1 on 1 experience. I personally use memetaur, as I find it fun to play and it's box of tricks gives me ample tools to murder almost any enemy. But getting pigeonholed into always the same "meta" ships is boring. I want to play other ships, say, Druid. I get Schlieffens down to 10% - and only because of that dented secondary mechanic, allowing zero skill players to still deal damage while rolling their face on the keyboard.

Don't you think it's nice that there is an inclusive event, one which is even for you?

The best thing is, you can even get invited by players on your ignore list. Yes, we need this option - or maybe one with a limit "ignore below x average clan win rate" or "ignore without being talked to first"

The main issue is that dark patterns are slowly getting under scrutiny and regarded as what they are - scummy practice. Especially the insidious gacha lootboxes are basically abuse of the weak and simple minded of our society, gambling is highly regulated for a reason.

I made a gif to explain how CVs and AA interact:

fixed it for you.

You post this as if this has any merit.

The seal clubbing tiers are trash now? We knew....

No, it's not ok. It's the worst decision you can make and everyone will hate you if you do this. CVs are more important than any other class, it has to spot for the team, attack the right ships and help out where an emergency arises. This is nothing a new player can easily do. If you really want to play the scourge of the skies and join the dark side, at least at least start using a tech tree CV so you learn what to do. Higher tier CVs have a lot more things to do. Man, seriously, you have 5 battles in randoms.... seriously, don't!

Just turn off the tick tock generation camos.
