Need more HE spam ships in the game
Karkong_the_Impaler replied to anonym_8AYJrnybhu0v's topic in General Discussion
On a scale of submarine to CV Smolensk and it's ilk is actually a happy memory. -
If you lose two more and then win three in a row, you're exactly on your skill level with that ship. Getting 5 wins in a row is more unlikely than getting 5 losses because of the skill level. Nothing strange about it. If you wish to improve, ask questions, there are quite a few resources available to help you along. Yuros videos are a prime example on youtube, can't recommend enough.

All with you here. But we also don't need uber crap because it's your kind of male fantasy and certainly not because "historically accurate". It's a arcade game where a DD can shoot a BB in open water and burn him to death. Or do we get some Fritz X, too, making all tier 8 BBs and beyond obsolete, because "historically accurate"?

Aaaand: This with a total of 11 posts. I believe you're telling bovine excrement. Don't get me wrong, I loathe subs and CV no less than you do, the only redeeming factor about subs is that they're being played by the worst players the server has to offer and may the god have mercy if you meet a good one. Also, here are players with a difference in total winrate that is greater than the difference between you and that potato. Why do you continue to play? And if the bad players wouldn't play, then your skill of now 51% would change for the worse, because you'd be the new potato then. Last but not least, concerning your self proclaimed win rate - you sure it's meaningful or do you club seals all day and suck as bad as your haples victim on tier 10 at a meaningful amount of battles?

Anhalt is lacking in secondary department so hard...
Karkong_the_Impaler replied to ARE_YOU_HUMAN's topic in General Discussion
Everyone and their brother did. And, as a side note, it also worked on Mushi. -
Possible answers: a) This is how MM works, it's random. If I were WG, I'd have some secret levers, but that probably won't work on a grand scale, so this is what we assume it to be. At least if you pay for premium matchmaking.... Remember, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that everyone isn't out to get you. b) You assume you're at least average but for whatever reason, it doesn't translate into results? Well, sorry to break it to you, mate - it's... not your team, ok? c) CL isn't for everyone, due to the squishieness it's even more hectic than DDs. Not going to recommend to play it with radar, because if you're at that level, smoke gives you at least a bit of survival chance. Don't stay still in smoke. Make sure there is someone (at best a DD) spotting for you before you smoke. Learn to aim. Shoot the deck and superstructure of BBs. Use hydro, about 20seconds after smoking up so you don't eat torps.

Likes CVs IIRC, recommends trash botes for real money - are you, by chance, a..... submarine? Edit: Dang, this is only funny in german, where a "U-Boot" also means "Mole". Edit2: I was just refering to all that wasted space on the Incomparable. At least it has more than enough life boats when the CV spots it. Way better solution than stacking AA there, because it doesn't work, as we know. BTW I've tried a secondary build with incomp once, to get that sweet reload buff. The secondary damage is abyssmal. -
WG and Lesta split coming to a close
Karkong_the_Impaler replied to SkipperCH's topic in General Discussion
Ah, I see.. i was refering to that person. -
Ok, let's recapitulate: Radar, fast turning guns, good concealment, accurate and fast reload.

I see you and I raise you an Incomparable. Although, it doesn't really compare. -
Mistress of the Seven Seas: Special Voiceover?

Why would you do such a thing? -
How to get defended ribbons?
Karkong_the_Impaler replied to VedranSeaWolf359's topic in General Discussion
This is why I hate these missions. Don't do the right thing. Try to farm some ribbons instead. -
Srsly, we have enough BBs AND enough radar floating around. Get lost with that Don't give a damn about "historically accurate", as long as it can go through islands, it's not.
-
I am still of the opinion that they should sell reports for dubloons and make them worthwhile. Say, if you get enough premium rewards, off to gulag (aka coop) for a week. Heck, even I'd buy these. Monetizing toxicity. That is one heck of a concept, it would work in a lot of games.... Not only one, but two reports for this: 20220916_141817_PFSC510-Colbert_53_Shoreside.wowsreplay

Checks out, it's real, it's just funny in german. Certified Nazi, though, probably can't have that.

If there is, you can remove it with a mod, don't worry. -
Pan Asian Cruisers, horrific grind!

Highly undderated post. -
WG and Lesta split coming to a close
Karkong_the_Impaler replied to SkipperCH's topic in General Discussion
That's about what I said, I just used someone with 60% win rate as an example. Also, I do not think it's "no matter what you do" - you probably do your thing EVERY game, it just doesn't work out a lot of times, because it's not enough. On the other hand we have players here in the forum who believe if you are reasonably high on the scoreboard you did everything you could, everything else is random and not influencable and he's not part of the reason when his team is losing. Unfortunately what we wrote works both ways. -
Yes. That sounds about the right spaghettiness for WG coding and explains the native language cursing apparently running unchecked. Why am I not surprised? Edit: Still like my hypothesis... HAAAA HAAA HAAAAAAAAAaaaaAAA........ STAYING ALIIIIIIVE
-
I believe this was meant for reporting teamkills or maybe things like 'pushing out of smoke'. Or people telling the enemy team your location, such things. Apart from "misbehaviour in chat" nothing has an effect I guess. I've been chatbanned for writing - I kid you not - "[edited]disco" when I had a disconnect. My favourite hypothesis is that someone is a big fan of the Bee Gees.
-
Opposing players only for "plays poorly" and for "misbehaviour in chat", IIRC.
-
You can't report players on the opposing side for "unsportsmanlike behaviour".
-
Since when is liking or disliking someone not an emotional decision? CVs are ruining their fun, therefore they report the one who killed them. And their own CV, for good measure. One might assume that they're all just sore losers, that they can't cope with what WG has provided and so on, that they don't think - unfortunately CVs are entirely unfun on the receiving end because you can't do anything against being crapped on.
-
Yes, it is useless, all by itself, but it still shows you what other players think of you. Sure, some of it is arbitrary, some of it even comes from sore losers - I've been reported for playing Memetaur in a 1 on 1 ranked - but the consistency of earning reports in a CV is telling.

Which forum members have you seen in random battles?
Karkong_the_Impaler replied to Cobra6's topic in General Discussion
BB brawls sure are slow. Why do we have the option of uploading and sharing replays? (a) Is that forbidden now, because there are always players apparently rolling the face on the keyboard and I can't even edit the names if I wished? And... is that valid as a forum rule only or do I get a ban in game? (b) Because on youtube you can see a lot of replays where potatos get paddeled, so am I allowed to do that? (c) And if that's ok, am I allowed to link to such videos here? (d) And if yes, can I post a screenshot using an external image hoster, because that's basically the same? Seriously, who makes up these arbitary rules? Yeah, I totally agree that one shouldn't come to the forum, post a screenshot of the results and then proceed to blame and insult the team or worse, individual players. But simply posting a screenshot, say here or in that "carry harder" thread where someone has a low score? Maybe he got unlucky or the client crashed at an inopportune moment or whatever. And even if you share a replay and you apparently need a harvester for all the potatos in the field - as long as nobody makes it the main attraction of the post, that's still just... normal? Decorative accessory to an average game? I personally would draw the line exactly there, judging the intention of the post. I've lettered the non rethoric questions for the ease of answering.
