Fun with DDs. Wrecked a Baguette in the path of the Daring and stopped him cold so I could murder him some more. Also found out that Elbing has Khabarovsk'esque Iron Curtain belt. Makes sense - probably a German Wall belt. See me dump three salvos ineffectually in his broadside at short range. AP fixed the issue. Features abusive vertical shell launch system to shoot over islands. dakkadakka 20221030_163720_PFSC510-Colbert_47_Sleeping_Giant.wowsreplay The rest of the matches lately.... Pain vs Suffering, this is quite representative: It's literally two teams trying to throw harder.

Neither. People complain about the lack of self reflection of players playing pivotal ships. They may have "fun" rolling their face on the keyboard but the rest of the team gets shafted by their lack of competence in an important class. Yes, it's bad to lose a BB early or a Cruiser, but the utility they bring to the team pales in comparison.

Well, playing good results in good stats in the end. This. Also, with this, I not only kill my enemy, I crush their soul.

The 6km hydro & SAP combo works like a charm on DDs and CLs. And you can always ram. But yes, that is the MM of that tier. It's even worse than T5, Belfasts, Atlantas, Sinops, all that questionably balanced bovine excrement no one cares about because it's not a relevant tier comes back to bite you.

This was such a hilarious throw... ok, the salvo of that Rooke out of the blue, while my incoming fire alert was already chiming because you were shooting me... nice trick, got me good. But the other two guys running after you, broadside and oblivious... and how he tried to torp you short range and missed everything while quickly melting to your gunfire instead of just outgunning you...

I've asked @Seraphice and @YabbaCoe again and again where in the rock paper scissors subs are supposed to find their niche: Who do they counter, what is their counter? They've taken the ASW duty away from the DDs, so they don't additionally have to do that job, too. But by giving them rather ineffectual weapons, requiring them to (over)extend or simply getting spotted to death, the recognized ASW class gets in turn disrespected. Because when I get shotgunned, I'd love to know if I'm just stupid to go a class where I am supposed to run from. But there is no answer. Well, not an official one, because if they'd dare to say that DDs are supposed to get shafted... you can imagine the outcry.

Are you aware that you are very much part of this group? Especially at tier 10?

Thanks, I appreciate it - but I always just click forward, otherwise I wouldn't miss the finished mission.

No, I compare 10€ to 10€. I bought a Tirpitz early on, expecting the game to be like WoT where I have to farm T8 to afford playing T10 - that was the cost of the game for me. If I continue to pay the full price of a AAA game every year while at the same time I pay 10€/month for premium (yeah, I get it at christmass, but nonetheless), I'd feel stupid. But I'm safe, as I don't buy cosmetic items in the first place. Or overpriced premium ships for gold. Just farm the gold in ranked if you need it, anything else is coal, steel or free exp (aka research points) anyway.

Ok, write up a manual. I'd read it. Or just write up what I can do to not be focussed by a CV, I'd be very, very interested.

Well, just the other day we had a BB whining about HE spammers.

If you want to know how a dog feels that doesn't get it's expected treat - just like this. This reward mechanic is another Pavlovian conditioning to keep you happy and playing. I personally don't care about these things, at some point I get some boxes, that's all. But WG invented a counter, you now need to manually select the next mission in the chain, so you need to care when you finished one - so that the cheap reward mechanic works better. I keep forgetting to do that.

RB points and Colbert? The single most fun cruiser i've yet played. Beyond that, there is always Minotaur - but you'd better play it with balls instead of smoke. HIV line... you're not bringing much of a gimmick to the game, no radar no nothing. Russian cruisers... ah well, still haven't gotten petro since the split, not yet bored enough.

That seal clubbing tier is only good for leveling.

I'd rather masturbate with a cheesegrater.

Are you serious? If yes, I just happened to come across a large amount of snake oil I could part with for a fair price!

As far as I understand, the system autonomously looks for bad words such as "[edited]" and "crap" and it checks for a threshold for reports concerning misbehaviour in chat over a certain time. I'm guessing there is some kind of multiplication going on, so, say, six bad words and six reports give you 36 infringement points. That keeps CVs safe who are reported all the time, but they need to behave in chat very much. This is the reason why cursing in a foreign language or deliberately misstyping a swearword keeps you relatively safe - unless someone sends a report about harassment in chat, then I guess someone remotely human checks manually. I've said it already - but I once got chatbanned for saying "[edited]disco" after a disconnect. Earlier I typed "crap" (<--- not this, the forum automatically exchanges the word for that harmless version) when I ate a torp while chatting and so on. My favourite alternative hypothesis is that someone at WG really loves THIS

Not an expert, but that seems very short. You should see a mechanic.

This is almost as funny as Kingons. You know, when a king dies the prince instantly becomes the new King? No matter where the Prince is at that time? So it stands to reason that there positively must be some King particles travelling faster than light. And since it's generally accepted that you're dead when your heart stops, one could possibly use this to communicate over intergalactic distances by stopping (and starting) the heart of a King repeatedly! Or one could assume that the simpler explanation is that this whole "king" business is bovine excrement in the first place. I mean, it usually isn't honest enough to say "I'm king, because I'm stronger than you", there is more or less always a religious explanation behind it and that alone should ring a lot of alarm bells... So, if I were to measure your Karma energy, your dynamic force - how would anyone do this? Basically in the context of the game, it tells a story of your deeds. Say, you play CV? You get reported. The second part of the Karma, the one the weak and the impotent get their righteous satisfaction from, is the belief that it will be coming back to bite you. This works just as much as it works in reality. Not at all. Insofar it is pretty accurate. Now that I write it, I've never thought about it this way - it's perfect, actually! PS: Also, the universe is everything but not paradoxical, it follows it's own rules to the letter. The only thing hiding in the ever smaller growing pockets of knowledge are myths. Lightning is only a frightening power of the gods until you understand how it works.

If you posess the competence to detect it, you are no longer susceptible - to the contrary, it triggers aversion. If only enough people knew, it wouldn't work anymore. Hah, here, I'm going to explain to you another gem - read it at your own risk: Advertising works negatively on me, I like a well made one - it just doesn't trigger a purchase decision. To the contrary, anything with these cheap tricks, I try to actively avoid.

Still doesn't work for me...

Ok, now I get it, you understood. So now that we found out that CL need to work harder to stay alive AND have a harder time hitting and dealing damage and don't casually blap BBs for 20k through the nose - why in seven hells can anyone believe the gameplay for BBs should be even easier? By taking the one counter away? I admit getting burned to death is torture because it takes so long. So I propose HE doesn't start fires anymore but instead get the ocassional nuclear artillery shell mixed in that instantly blaps the target BB. Does that sound better? Yes, fires are a cheesy way to make this arcade game work - but if it weren't for that, we'd have world of battleships. Same with secondaries, if the firepower of the cleveland strapped to each side of a BB would work as a cleveland does, they'd be much more powerful, especially against DDs. We don't have that, for a reason.

Might be, sounds about right...

I need to aim every 2.something seconds. You need to aim once every half minute. Do you recognize this disparity?
