@ChiefBlueMeanie I see that apart from a laughing smiley you didn't react to my idea of putting potatos on your special server for the uncouth instead? Don't like the idea?

With Vermont and Halsey, you don't have to deceide on which ammo to use up until 16 seconds. So you wait and watch. VERY comfortable. 16 secs are a bit much to switch ammo if a DD pops up, but this is Vermont after all and at close range you just throw overpens at him for 12k. Alone the fact that the last turret which didn't shoot due to angle isn't up the use of the skill is making the change for the better a hundred times over. I've lost more time checking if I will ruin my reload than any extra three seconds. Being on the receiving end, mostly, is another thing, though, but we've learned that WG doesn't care about that - see CVs, subs, supershits and so on.

Maybe the support carriers will get the means to fight the subs.

I could agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong. The skill required is to bring along your own, better CV, because CVs are only balanced by the fact "that the enemy team also has one". Same with subs. The issue at hand is that WG balances just how "fun" it is to play a thing, never how "fun" it is to be on the receiving end. And let's be honest about this, balancing CVs so they ALWAYS get one strike through is bovine excrement. And then introducing a nations CV that only consists of first strikes is bovine excrement². Also the casual spotting provided is the game changer. Or submarines, don't get me started, they're balanced around the worst facerollers because only these players actually play subs. Lo and behold, laser guided torps for those who usually lick their touch screen to aim with the fun option to pop up, shotgun someone and submerge. But maybe it it I who is wrong, I'm seriously interested in these skills you speak of - but you post this bold claim from a secondary (?) account where you have hit your personal skill barrier at tier 8 already?! Please back "play against CV" up in some way or I have to dismiss your statement as complete nonsense.

The day was frankly quite unsuccessful. Even that match was lost. But outplaying that Desmo was fun.

Wait... from the other thread: So... basically anyone better than you is a no life silly kid and anyone worse is a bot? That is a... unique way of seeing things.

@Sir_Sinksalot in Ranked.

Grozovoi. Grinded it like a madman when Khabarovsk was still the cool kid on the block. Could never make it work. Maybe I'm better at DDs now, but by now, it's probably powercrept, at least I don't see it anymore in games. Kleber. I loathed shooting the thing, wanted to experience the same immunity. Didn't work for me, either. And I was quite decent in Khabarovsk. Hindenburg. Can't even say why I finished the line. Sunken cost fallacy? Kremlin. Even worse. At least I used a lot of free exp.

To be honest, I even tried once. With the result that I got insulted. And then there was this low skill flamer accusing me of cheating and I very nicely explained to him what I did, how I did it. I might have been a smidgen snarky. With the result that I got insulted some more. I assume to learn something one has to admit that one did something wrong first, even if only to yourself. That also seems to be @Hades_warrior 's problem. Not free of it, myself.

But they can! And the reasons listed might not be false, the main reason is - it doesn't take much skill to club seals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QRZpligDOs The thing is, if you take a good, hard look at their win rate at tier 10, you will see. They are not remotely what I consider to be good at the game or deserving the respect that comes with good stats. The stats are fake!

To be honest, in most cases I also like premium ships much better than tech tree ones. But without whaling your way there, you need to play the tech trees first. Let's call it the "end game". Resources like steel or RB points are rather hard to obtain and still most of these ships aren't inherently better, they're either different or more extreme in their design. I don't see it as funny and I also see no reason to complain about this. What is it that annoys you about it?

Ok, never underestimate the spaghettiness of wows coding - but seriously, how is that even possible? If it's very complicated, it's a text file with player IDs. How on earth can that lag my port?

Also no one going to comment on the submersible scum that is also sky cancer? Who in seven hells would want that kind of bovine excrement in the game?

That is not value. Yes, I understand the monetization of the game, thank you.

Asking for a grindarap. Begging, even.

That's... just wrong. If you're hungry, food certainly holds a value. Try it if you don't believe me. And suddenly one realizes that the artificial 'economy' in the game is based on arbitrary prices - it would literally cost WG nothing to give all the players all the ships and a billion dubloons on top, it's just a few toggles. The trick is to make the users believe it has a value, obviously it worked with you, just like art. But alas, as you can't even sell your commodity - that might be telling if you think about it, it stopped having a value the second you buy it. Consumable art. Like paying to see a movie with the difference that anyone can look at that movie for free. Paying for winrar come to mind, but that stuff actually does something. Yes, of course I switched that non historic crap off, long ago. Edit: As long as this crap can be switched off and I don't have to remember new ship names, I'm entirely fine with you throwing your money down the drain - I'm happy even, if you pay for the game and the support.

I still think ARP and anime and all this crossover stuff is ok, as long as this special interest doesn't infringe on the game for the rest of us. I actually like anime, I just don't want it in the game if I have to look at it or it has an effect that goes beyond a skin which I can toggle off. Yes, the poll is not for me, I can see that, but it's still badly designed and certainly the information that other players don't want it either might be relevant, especially if you want to forward it to someone. Also, concerning to skins holding no value. Pro tip of the day: NOTHING here holds a value. Edit: I also dislike the cetacean angle here. As if that gives you any right to annoy others. It's like asking a giant middle finger model - but you only want it if it's not a skin, but you'd be prepared to pay 80 DOLLARS for it. I understand that you don't want to hear from anyone to get lost in your poll. So you hear it from me, here.

Ok. I've erased all I've written, we apparently think in different categories. After taking a very long and hard look at your stats - you want that ship for coop, right? And you died through bronze ranked for a long time until you received enough steel, does that sound about right? For coop any, literally ANY ship will do. You don't need a ship for steel. Yes, it's only bronze, but your team will still hate you when your lack of ability is causing them to lose.

Do they never make a point and only insult, or do they say things like "you shouldn't hide behind islands where you can't help your team" or "why the didn't you press radar, for sake?" And why would it be dumb to listen to someone who is better at the game than you are, ignoring the unneccesary insults ofc?

Well, I put everyone on my ignore list who is below 45% at tier 10. This isn't personal, I don't hate them or anything, I just like the orange warning flags in the next match. But I noticed that since I do that, there is little to no trash talk in my chat window anymore! I assume their inability to play makes them have anger issues and no self awareness. I'm not saying every potato is rude, agressive and has severe personality issues, but since they're reliably those who cause issues in chat and make the game toxic, I feel we should put them on a special potato server. At least for the next few years. As a trial.

Your poll is very bad, because there is no option for just saying no to that weeb . Seriously, they should get rid of all that crap, right along with the warhammer 40k stuff, and just add special skins for the so inclined. This because of the ship names, because remembering what ship has what capabilities is hard enough already. Thankfully the display of the skins can already be turned off. No, I do not care about 1mm armor here or three AA guns turned the other way there.

Don't have it, but I believe that is not a ship for you - it's a squishy battlecruiser. On a scale of 0 to 10, how honest would you like a recommendation?

Bronze ranked players tend to do strange things.

This seems... salty? Edit: Not going to excuse the trash talking, but have you ever considered that if multiple purple players (and not that specimen above) actually take the time to trash talk to you, they might have a point? I mean concerning your play, not the insults.

At a guess not that long, as there are bots in there nowadays which in turn makes the low tier seal clubbing stats even less relevant than the higher tier seal clubbing. You might want to check wows-numbers.com for the tier 1 ships and sort for matches played, that's not unique, even. I admit it's somehow a guilty pleasure, I'm apalled and intrigued at the same time - What is the mindset of these people? Do they suffer doing this? Do they enjoy doing this? Are they really human or is someone testing a bot?
