    Huron seems to be Lackluster

    fixed  I see you and raise you a Colbert. Or a Druid.

    Toxicity in this game is ridiculous

    This, very much. I mean - I know my performance, I do rather well in certain ships (unless some sky cancer focusses me) and I'm very much capable of ignoring or, depending on the circumstances, laughing at.. uh, say, that submarine player that was raging that the team didn't support him when he charged into their mid. Or the one who was raging at people with hidden stats. Or the guy who chatted me up, explaining improbable sex practices because I didn't torp the enemy with my Druid. To hurt one of the barbs must hit close to home.

    True, the most fun ships are behind a paywall. But at least it's not dubs but steel or RB. I believe one can make the Huron work, if one is inclined into playing that tier in the first place. Remember, not every ship is for everyone, some just click - and some don't. Unfortunately to know this, you need to have them and some you even have to play a bit...

    Toxicity in this game is ridiculous

    You're cheating with that sky cancer anyway! Basically, I think one needs to differentiate what "toxic" means. In my opinion it's trash talking about how crap someone is, in worst cases wishes of the player's children getting cancer or somesuch. On the other hand we also have snowflakes who believe any kind of criticism is automatically toxic because they're not being congratulated in their "special" ways to roll their face on the keyboard and lick their touchscreen to aim. This is basically a societal issue, people can't argue like adults anymore, it's just screaming louder than the adversary, never listening to reason, every argument pettyfoggery and sophistry, just for the audience, never to convince. I believe the amount of snowflakes who don't even consider their own faults far outweights the actual toxic players. It's mostly "perceived toxicity" and, who would have guessed, the worst players feel the most toxicity. Not talking about players who chat you up to talk trash after a game, yes, we all know these. Caveat: I put trash level players on ignore - that helps a lot with mental hygiene. When you watch replays, you can still see what they wrote, it's hilarious once in a while.

    Since he didn't quote, I assumed that he was referring to killing subs and CVs. Also, some super light cruisers are quite hard to hit... 4m3 20220929_192402_PFSC510-Colbert_23_Shards.wowsreplay ... but yes, they're prone to getting unlucky more than once in a while.

    50mm flight deck armor anyone? Yes, sniping CVs is fun, unfortunately at tier 10 they positively have to show you broadside.

    See? This is one of many ways to improve your win rate: Don't yolo in, you only offer free dmg to the enemies.

    Pro tip of the day - If you simply drink methylated spirits it's even cheaper. And you can save even more if you make an enema because you only need a little bit to get entirely wasted - with the added advantage of not having to taste it! (Kids, don't do that at home. Every year some half smart nurse students die because of stupid ideas like that... if you really consider this, please press your ear to a hot stove plate - then you can smell how stupid you are) Seriously, running the numbers on cost while drinking is a serious sign you have an issue, either you're too poor for substance abuse or you abuse too much already. Yes, it's not much better to get wasted with your friends, especially not on a daily basis, but let's just imagine they don't and give you some sort of feedback on what's socially acceptable and what is not. But drinking alone at home... man, don't do that, that's a slipery slope to the hospital, permanent liver damage and Alcoholics Anonymous.

    Pro tip of the day: The longer you live, the more damage you can deal, the more exp you get. Just don't put your survival above winning the game.

    What Were Your Greatest Gaming Achievements Today ?

    Please ignore me broadsiding the Halland, that was a bit stupid. And I should have simply tried the same with the Georgia instead of getting into the crossfire - but I was a bit exaspreated with the lack of support at C. And no, I'm not really counting that DD....

    What Were Your Greatest Gaming Achievements Today ?

    Who would win? Colbert vs. Alsace at 5 km? Bonus round: Halland enters the fight! Super bonus round: Georgia trying to kill me with about zero hp. Place your bets now! thatalsace 20221002_211515_PFSC510-Colbert_16_OC_bees_to_honey.wowsreplay

    Alcohol and WoWs

    Man, I'm sorry to say, but two beers and I'm cross eyed. Half a bottle of whisky and I'm puking (and not only because of the egregious taste). I know more than a few heavy drinkers in the game, they always assume it's normal what they do, everyone does this and so on. Just to make this clear: It is not. Stopping an addiction is a female dog and I wish everyone the best of luck and the spine to see it through. You just first have to realize you have an issue.
  14. Or get over it and split the Battlecruisers/Heavy Cruisers into their own line, sharing one MM spot with BBs and CA. And do that to super light cruisers/gunboat DDs, where they also share one MM slot. Then mix and match the respective skills if WG is unwilling to invent new ones. Unfortunately these things tend to upset the balance and to be honest, I'm guessing the skill rework was done not the least to remove access to certain skills. Say, no more Stalingrads running fire prevention, no more Smollies abusing all the DD gun skills and so on. Also, anyone who asks for a secondaries low skill gameplay buff (literally: zero) needs to accept the fact that in turn something else needs to be nerfed. Say, main gun reload times unless the ship is underperforming.

    I second this. Just imagine meeting a supershit cv - puking on an empty stomach is not recommended at all.

    Due to the low amount of games played, it's all well within the statistical variance. Also, can't help OP feels a bit attention grabbing... but yes, if you feel the need to tell someone you made it to here - kudos mate!
  17. The difference between playing against homing torps and submarine launched guided missiles is that torps on the horizontal plane can also accidentally hit someone AND you can shotgun people with it. Missiles might be faster.... it ends your suffering sooner. Win-Win.
  18. Can't be arsed to watch it - anything relevant there or just tin foil hat stuff? Not that I believe WG is incapable of royally it up...
  19. Check if the enemy BB is really going around the island or braking. And most useful, throw them into a CVs fighter squadron.

    Not recieved rewards for Ranked victories. WTF?

    It's fake. I reverse image searched this. Both guys are professional actors.

    cant communicat with exCIS player

    There are no native english speakers in europe anymore (edit: oops Ireland). But don't worry, the way the pound is going, soon everyone can buy their own. On a more serious side note, I believe in geographic europe there are more native german speakers than anyone else. But not everyone is speaking german as a seconday language because reasons and it's admittedly a bit hard to learn. Basically, if you write in a language that is not english, do not expect anyone to understand you. Also, do not expect anyone to understand you if you write in english. And even if you can clearly communicate, do not expect anyone to do what you suggest, either because he might be stupid or you might be stupid. Now that I've written it, I somehow feel that the chat is overrated.

    Which forum members have you seen in random battles?

    Well, the important parts are always learned first. I can also curse in polish and russian, although I don't speak more than three words in either language. But since we have this new ping mechanic, you can even ping a course for a particularily unattentive teammate, combine that with "well done" in either literal or sarcastic meaning, and you're almost set. Don't ask how I know...
