    Introduce border humping damage

    Alone the guy going full speed into the border and then getting instantly displaced a few ship lengths to the side will make the salvo miss. That alone deserves a punishment. I dislike the damage over time idea, I would simply say quadruple the incoming damage, so it doesn't matter if he tries to juke or shows broadside, but anything really is better than what we have now. @Atalante Try hitting that withfloaty shells and not some russian rail gun. Srsly.

    WG what were you afraid of?

    Ok, time to step in: Nobody likes CVs. It's at most a guilty pleasure to some, but even @Atalante feels dirty afterwards. Or at least he should.

    Matchmaking - does it become more crap?

    Just like Supershits spoiled tier 10 and tier 9 ships spoiled tier 7 (Musashi anyone?) Being uptiered sucks. Having to pay money to not be uptiered is scummy. Not even having a tier 11 Colbert or Druid is outrageous.

    Lines worth for grinding

    Yamato is worth it, more than most ships. Vermont I got recently, I can recommend - just be careful with the positioning, you need favourable winds to relocate your float and you are quite squishy. But you can blap about everything. Soviet DDs, what @Atalante said. I loved to play Khaba, I never could get Groz to work. But that might be a skill issue. Powercrept by french bias. Elbing... well, your team hates you even more than a CV if you don't manage to do DD duty. As with all shoot from smoke DDs, you suck if you're the only DD available. Marseille I don't have, it's only of little appeal. St. Vincent is just too ugly for my aesthetic sensibilities. Colombo and Regolo, as Marseille Yueyang... well, I'm stuck at tier 8 for years, now. With the reload booster probably a solid pick. Radar everything is the new meta. Halland, see Yueyang. Gouden is not as bad as people make it out to be, I hate to shoot it or getting shot by it. In addition, I rather liked the Minotaur grind, just grow some and play them with radar. Just make sure you have another ship to play when you go to port early. Druid. Colbert.

    Tier 11 super in burning credits.

    @Seraphice I actually like you and I wouldn't want to trade jobs with you, but this is some serious... let's politely call it 'copium'. This insults my intellectual feelings. It's basically the same "look, CVs are balanced, the enemy also has one" trash balancing, because it doesn't the least take the other 11 players into account who get murdered, spotted or outright fed. But that's the issue. Now you have a 45%er playing the supershit - on my team, of course - and a super unicum, looking to pad his stats some more, on the enemy side. My supershit yolos in, dies. Great, not only we're short one player, we now also have to contend with a supershit on the enemy team. Because WG doesn't balance ships with the lame excuse of having one on the other side, too - with the result that you can less and less influence the outcome of the game yourself. Unless you do the dirty deed and play it yourself. You know why I used to only play tier 10? Because I hate to get uptiered, to lose to trash players, just because they had the better ship. Also a russian DD supershit can burst citadel you to death when you play Colbert before you can turn your broadside away. Ask me how I know! This is bovine excrement on an order of magnitude and then I haven't even talked about supershit CVs! But not all hope is lost, someone recognized the fact that a radar trap Edgar with 12mm armor threshold would be "toxic". Apparently the first time in forever that someone considered the receiving end! If the very sane (sic!) person could please become the head of the balancing department and take a long, hard look at CVs, Submarines and Supershits in general. PS: Just remove the burst fire gimmick. A bit more sluggish but tankier Mino with an extra turret is tier 11 enough. Or Conde - additional accuracy in burst mode? Who thought of that? This guy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPf529urxw8 PPS: Just give me a tier 11 Colbert or a Druid, then it's either get cancer or be cancer - I also played Smolensk, one more war crime won't give me too much of a troubled conscience. PPPS: Please excuse the , but I feel strongly about this!

    one shot in the stern outside the armored belt. why should I like it?

    Shells bounce, as far as I understand also from the inside. If you get penetrated and the shells bounce they can get directed toward your citadel. That is why showing Mino stern is so much worse than showing bow. Also, some ships are/were a bit buggy where you could hit the funnel for a citadel or the citadel was exposed through the armored roof because a modeller up, but that is so scarce that I don't bother remembering which.

    Will you spend the Submarine tokens on actually getting the subs?

    Wrong. @Atalante blatantly lied to you. If you are lucky you get 20k free exp.

    @SnuSnu_RIP I tried so hard.... 49% average team vs. 56%.

    What? Can't hear you over the sound of someones getting penetrated!

    T5 and T7 Tech-tree suggestions for ranked battle?

    Marblehead doesn't bring the Colbert vibe. This is what makes me most sad about the whole tier 5 crap. Or tier 11, for that matter. No Colbert, no Druid equivalent - no fun.

    No, you are right, that was bovine excrement - I just found the accidentally true statement.

    Well, bad players represent the weaker team. In this he is actually correct. Anything else... not so much...

    Until here, thumbs up. If tier X is too boring, I propose you play light cruisers.... I can't really abide this tier 5 crap.

    Reporting functionality, technical details?

    I assume it works as follows: A program sifts for "offensive" words, such as "[edited]". Then it takes all the chat reports into account and if they get over a certain threshold, you get a chat ban. This is why carrier drivers need to be very polite at all times and also the reason you can swear in obscure languages or with intentional typos without much repercussions. Yes, you can take a replay and send it to the support, maybe someone (in a loose sense) human takes a special look at it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

    HMS Tiger, gun equipment

    Probably an AA gun...

    Every game is a Steamroll

    Alone the fact that some players manage a very high (or a very low) win rate consistently debunks the myth of matchmaking being responsible for your own trash (or good) stats. Win rate has it's own issues, for example that it doesn't take a moving average into account or that it doesn't recognize the seal clubbers or the ships you manage to do well in as opposed to the ships you suck with - but it's an ok'ish indicator.

    Well, in his defense, he once did ask on how to play Incomparable. Before someone says that if we had a "how do I get better" thread instead of a "my team is trash thread" we had a super unicum forum force. Applying the information is another matter...

    @gopher31 one of the funniest games in ranked, yet. Not for the content, but the chat... Apparently that line has been used quite a few times, so I can't find that exact movie I rememer it from. But in my youth I did.. rather liked Gun Fu movies, must have been one of them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlXh0lcbINE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bb0185q56CM

    You know the best thing about Mainz? The bus to Wiesbaden... (joke only works if you have seen both cities, they're right next to each other, just across the river - and Mainz isn't... pretty)

    So, 'non serious seal clubbing'? Because you can't archive a 95% win rate at tier 5? On the other hand, it's not seal clubbing if you don't win.

    Submarines Torpedo Bug

    Most subs do get scared when you charge them and just dump their load. You assume way too much skill on the average submersible scum players part...
