Not completely true actually. I division with people who do look up stats of certain important ships/captains during loading-time. For example the CVs, both teams top-tier-BBs etc. I dont think it is common however. Personally I disabled access to my stats once the option was available. Two weeks later I re-enabled access, because I missed my progression-curves. Warshipstats.com, warships.today et cetera all require the public-setting to track stats. Since XVM is not widespread I did not notice more focusing etc. This might change with upcomming xvm-versions. Once it is inside the big modpacks, distribution will rise rapidly. Also the more carriers are around, the more likely I will be hiding again.

Imho all of them are rather bad and I would recommend none of them. If I really had to, I would chose Derpski purely "for the lolz". I dont know the mission requirements. Does it have to be a DD? Because both Tenryu and St. Louis are fantastic ships. DDs do massive leaps in performance from T3 to T4 and again to T5. Maybe do T4-5-mission with DDs and take other classes for T-2-3-missions?

You always achieve more by actually engaging the enemy from midrange (that is at and below ~20km) in a BB than sniping from absolutely max distance not using either HP or armor. It doesnt even make you so much safer from torpedoes. And of course you die. Maybe as one of the last ones, but certainly not heroically. If youre at T5 or 6 maybe even 7 youre a newbie and dont know better. As someone who grinded his way to T9 however, you should know. Simply by finding out yourself. By that time youve been given both a lot of abuse and helpful tipps as well. If you didnt question your own Play then, you will probably never do. My patience with such people in hightier is low and I admit and Im rather quick with the bot-report.

To some extent, this. You see cruisers and DDs playing the same thing. They just have less range, HP and armor, Though they are camping like crazy they eventually die faster than capable players and therefore get rarely noticed. After all, they just suck at the game. Just try to keep an eye on your DDs next time you start a battle. Count yourself lucky if you have just 1 that tries to take a cap or provide some reccon-data. More likely it is zigzag in 1/4 to not overtake the cruisers. Edit: Also, even in slowass ships like Imperator or NM I end up beeing on the frontline. It is rarely the speed that hinders BBs to advance. These people are just afraid and/or clueless. There is not a day without sadness over this retarded camping meta.

Because I still like the game enough to keep playing maybe? Duiiii.

Like with old draw-issue this isnt really a statistical problem. We once had ~9% draws in T10 games. There were still people defending that nonsense with the argument that it was "not even 1 in 10 games". Did the game become any worse with the introduction of the points-rule? It didnt. Detonations might just be 1-3% but that are unnecessary 1-3% in which the dice decided that you had to be punished for doing nothing wrong at all. I dont like this concept. Randomness is not skill-friendly but retard-friendly. if I want to gamble I go to a casino or something.

Uhm, no? One of the worst global winrates of all ships over tens of thousands of games dont come from nothing. The ship is just outright BAD for anyone who is not heavily experienced. That doesnt mean you cant have fun with it, but it certainly means the ship is an underperformer in need of a buff. I call this a fair warning, not "stupid".

No matter how you put this. As an offensive weapon or as a defensive one. Right now they are as much near-useless as the whole ship carrying them. Still it is no coincidence that Atlanta has the worst stats of any T7 in the game. Carrying your team is not exactly easy when you dont have the tools it takes to, for the vast majority of games.

It was a bit less random in WoT. You could shoot at/hide the corresponding section more conveniently. But in WoT the problem is also massively overshadowed by the huge BS that is called Arty.

The difference between having the torpedos she has now and having none at all is tiny. In 140 games I have maybe 15-20 torpedo-hits. that makes ~1 per 8 games on a longer average. Usually youre dead before you get in range of something worth torping. You can save your health to go full suicide-torprush but thats just stupid. Torps would just be just one of dozens of ways to buff this ship into semi-usefulness. Why not give it the 9,2km 55kn Torps of Mahan? Historical reasons?

Clans do not fight battles in random mode against random players. There various formats in WoT, differing in team-size, used tiers, rewards etc. But none is "coordinated clan vs. single players". (With the rather rare exception you met a botlike-clan where no one had TS etc. in company mode).

What makes you think so? 44% and ~21k dmg hardly qualifies as doing well. You do equal or better in your lowtiers Tenryu, Kuma and Phoenix.

Hes right however in the part that detonations are not a good element of gameplay. It doesnt even have to do with glasscannon since heavier ships can blow up too. The amount of fun I have when inflicting detonations is nothing compared to the anger of getting blown up. You cant inflict detonations by skill nor avoid them. Theyre just an another pure-RNG-high-alphadamge-element that might promote defensive play without any real need.

Hahaha very funny. Maybe against a noob-DD/ even noobier cruiser that went far far too close and gives broadside. It performs pisspoor against anything else. Targets that know how to evade simply humiliate you.

You have 10km visibility are slow and unmaneuverable like a heavy cruiser. You have no armor and the fragility of a DD, but unlike a real DD you also have a citadel which makes you melt like ice in sunshine even under low-caliber-fire. Youre a cruiser but cant do cruisery things. At the same time youre a DD but cant do a destroyers work. Its awkward. It cannot be stressed enough that beginners shouldnt buy this. Actually no one should buy it but those who like to spend 30 euromonies just to fire fast or for the looks of the ship. Atlantas serverstats are terribad for a reason. I support the all capps-title of the thread. DO NOT BUY ATLANTA unless you do know you want exactly this and no other ship. For whatever reasons. Dont buy it out of the blue or because the concept sounds fun. The fun wears of quick, and what remains is a 30€-port decoration.

Kutuzov, no doubt. +2% chance compared to Mogami iirc. Also faster rof, better ballistics and higher accuracy. The IJN CAs and Cleveland/DM are nice too.

quoted post removed Although I agree that detonation is a mechanic that generates far more toxicity and rage than it brings benefits to players, maybe step down a bit? Also I laughed at "Im a game desgigner". You were one of the persons on the forefront of the carrierdefenders when they were so unhealthily OP it wasnt even real. With this amount of bias I hope youre not in charge of balancing. Anywhere.

This BB-like ruddershift is such a turnoff, it prevented me from playing it more than one game. It is like double that of the Murmansk. I was like tuuuuuuuuuuuuurn you ******** of a ship the whole game. The ballistics are fine so you can stay at 10km+ and still hit a lot with all those guns. I dont doubt it can be extremely potent. However, in Murmansk in a T5-match you can basically do whatever you want and the game rarely finds a way to punish you for it. Derping into the action, evade stuff with your godlike 3,x s rudder, citadel some BBs closeup, leave your torps, turn, and get out? Yep, Murmansk can do that. Marblehead not so much it seems.

Man muss kein Premium haben um sich auf seinen BBs den Premiumreparaturtrupp zu leisten. Muss man halt eine handvoll mehr Spiele spielen, bis man sich das Nachfolgerschiff kaufen kann. Unabhängig davon finanziert sich der Premiumtrupp langfristig zum Teil dadurch selbst, als dass er zu weniger erlittenem Schaden (=weniger Reparaturkosten) führen kann.

Für eines werde ich die rot-Funktion vermissen: Die Möglichkeit Aussagen die schlichtweg falsch sind. Z.b. "Torpedos machen immer flooding", "Ich kriege schlechte Teams weil ich Deutscher bin und kein Premium habe!", "Man kann nicht zweimal hintereinander brennen." etc. zu markieren. Ansonsten ist es mir ziemlich wurscht.

Für Nebel siehe #93,94. Und ja, es ist der Nebel, der so wichtig ist. 4x Flakboost hab ich auch nur selten gebraucht. Wenn man eine Mannschaft nur für die Mikhail hätte, könnte man evtl. je nach Spielertyp auch für High Alert anstatt Superintendant optieren (ich würd trotzdem absichtlich den Inspekteur nehmen), da man aber eigentlich immer eine Mannschaft nutzt, die auch Dienst auf einem regulären Schiff hat, kommt zumindest im russischen Falle, auch nur der Insp. ernsthaft in Betracht imho. Gibt bei den Russen halt nur DDs im Moment.

Ich habe in meinen BBs überhaupt keine Probleme mit Feuer. Ich kann das nicht so recht nachvollziehen wieso so viele Leute jammern, sorry. Premium-Löschtrupp rein und nicht beim ersten Feuerchen wie wild den Hotkey hämmern, sondern warten bis man außer range oder der Gegner anderweitig verhindert ist. Sehe immer wieder BBs die sofort löschen wenn ein IJN CA oder eine Mikhail noch voll draufhält. Ja dann brennt ihr halt. Den Feuerschaden kann man außerdem 100% reparieren, einen dankbareren Schadenstyp gibt's nicht. Klar brennt man manchmal nieder, soll ja auch so sein. Aber wenn selbst auf den ach so armen BBs (die natürlich abseits des Heulsturmes der BB-Bobs die stärkste Klasse sind) macht Feuerschaden nur max. 15% des erhaltenen Schadens aus. Das ist nicht dramatisch. Für gute Spieler bzw. Nutzer des Premium-consumable sind das sicher unter 10%, einzelne unglückliche Spiele mal abgesehen.

Nennt den besten T3-Skill verschwendet. Alarmbereitschaft ist auch nice, aber ne Extraladung Nebel und Flakboost ist zu gut um es auszulassen. Dann lieber Premium- Schadensbegrenzung für 22k wenn man den Coooldown für den Löschtrupp senken will. Ist ein Premiumschiff, da kann man sich das leisten.

Furutaka is miles better than the Atlanta, not just in a tier per tier comparison. Actually even a tier 3 St. Louis beats the Atlanta in terms of damage. Atlanta is a rippoff, plain and simple.

Ich mag irgendwie nicht, dass dieser Schritt im nachhinein ständig als so falsch dargestellt wird. CVs haben nicht nur DDs gespottet oder BBs geroflstompt. Sie haben einfach schlichtweg alles massakriert was rumgefahren ist. Das war absurd. Man kann darüber diskutieren, ob es WG nicht wieder mal übertrieben hat mit dem Nerf, aber gegen die Situation die wir damals hatten ist das hier mit den DDs Kindergarten!
