I wish this was still CBT, because community was so small then. People actually knew who was good and who was not, and with such a small community people tended to not care they weren't considered 'good'. I was a baddie. I only improved a bit because good players told me I was bad. Then I started to ask how to NOT be bad. And I got answers. Many answers, sometimes conflicting answers and that's fine. It's about trying which of the answers works for you. That is what people now should do more, listen to advice. Sadly, in my experience, it's NOT that people START with insulting, it's that good advice or criticism is met with insults almost exclusively. People don't want to admit they might not be as good as they think they are, that is the problem.

Really? Wow... I knew I sucked in it but... wait.... 45k for 14xxWTR. 55k and 1900WTR on tier 8 Tashkent though.... it was so much easier to play there.

Are you new to online gaming?

Lucille needed a break

WoWs uses a very IO heavy subsystem for assets. Every single part of a ship which might be shared with other ships is a separate file ( mesh ) and needs a texture to display properly. This bug isn't only caused by IO subsystem load though afaik as I also seen it reported by people running certain drivers ( drivers + io subsystem are the important factors I guess ). Heck if you have corrupted ( bad ) ram I reckon this might also happen if the engine doesn't load directly from disk to vram but uses ram as passthrough. As for the program you should run -> https://eu.wargaming.net/support/kb/articles/596 this is the only automated testing tool WG has afaik.

None of the things I said consists of pointing and laughing though, all I did was make clear that his personal performance indicators ( mainly damage but the rest is also not that far off ) don't point to a sudden issue with the ship or playstyle. That his historical performance was below average actually has no relevance to that statement, though I get what you mean with a 'deeper' issue. Sadly my grind slowed to a halt with the tier 9 Tashkent.. I really do not like her at all. So I can't give advice on how to play Khaba, and frankly OP has many more games than me and my personal experience is that it's almost impossible to alter the way people play who already have such a high battle count. Anyway, just wanted to make clear that my intent was to just point out was 'wrong', namely most likely nothing but a bad lose streak. There is no reason to do anything else here, and I also didn't get a 'let's bash OP' vibe from this thread besides the initial shock of someone calling Khaba 'unplayable'.

@Teob_VG OP's current personal performance seems to be in line with his historical performance of ~50k avg dmg. His recent is even a tiny bit above. But his wr dropped from 47% to 29% over his last 17 games. That doesn't require playstyle changes, the torpedo nerf didn't completely change the way you should/can play a Khaba right? It looks like he is just having a bad win streak and he blames a change on the ship which actually isn't influential at all.

Smoke has counters, radar + hydro + torpedoes. This isn't unreal tournament on the water.

Shima is love, Shima is live... in Kancolle that is

I <3 people who think anecdotal evidence ( which in itself doesn't even exist ) could have any argumental value at all, let alone over actually available performance metrics. Kokdim, in your last 17 games you did on average MORE than your historical average damage yet you won only 29% of games. That's not the ship, that's a bad win streak. Come back in 50 more games in Khaba since now and I bet it will be much close to your average 47% win rate in Khaba.

The clip from the song Windowlicker.... Sorry it's kinda a clan theme, I made a mistake by assuming logic and common sense amongst my fellow players and this picture is my penance. Like you, I will be haunted all night in my sleep

I am sorry, tell Gene I will lick more windows shortly!

Your account stats for Khaba are +-50k dmg and 47% wr. Your recent Khaba stats ( 17 games ) are 51kdmg and 29% wr. You're just having a worse selection of teams, you're not performing less than before.

Problem is trading hp with Harekaze will mean you eventually die. Khaba will have a monster game if competent, Harekaze has to pick engagements smartly to make the most out of his hitpoint pool. It's a lot more fun than Akizuki though imo, it can wiggle that booty and doesn't have the turning radius of a high tier battleship all at the cost of 25% dps ( and it gains a second quad launcher.. not that I find those torps that good but hey ).

How do you power grind without giving a damn about the game results? Or do you mean: how a low double digit person 'powergrinds' through WoWs

Idk, the Khaba on the enemy team might not have complained a lot.

Sub_Octavian already met the result of having a disgruntled part of playerbase which has felt neglected for some time. People should be able to disagree while being civil though, and I hope Ishiro32 is wrong in the end ( about having faith ). Kind of sad when former ST don't have faith in development team, but considering for how long CV balance / development has been the ( necessary ) target of many discussions I can't really fault you for it. I guess it's easier if you play more classes, I still have fun even when I don't like certain things. Taking a break is also helping, looking forward to playing again later.

Not all US DD's are easy to get unicum stats in ( Benson isn't a pick in competitive without those players playing them in randoms ). Yamato also isn't that easy. I think you're just suffering from reverse Dunning-Kruger, so stop being modest and welcome yourself in almost super unicum territory ( seriously though, at the very least you played those ships very well ). I could play Clemson if I wanted super unicum WTR all day long

That clan is full off noobs ( please don't ban me @Tuccy ). Seriously though, it's WG employees, like Tuccy and @Crysantos @MrConway and so on. I don't know if we have actual devs playing on EU server, but we have those from the Paris office..

Dunning Kruger in reverse, people complaining about average players are not realizing they are so good their framework of references is limiting their ability to see things from the point of view of average players

It was sarcastic to a point yeah ;) The only thing which makes it a tiny bit less is what I read from @Sub_Octavian. He posted something indicating the mutual benefits of constructive communication, so maybe he just didn't read your thread ( seriously, at the very least pm him and link him to it and ask him to comment, I have a feeling you might actually get a direct reply ).

Well no OP is right! You can very politely point out that the positioning on the J line of your top two battleships while the enemy have three caps and 800+ points is tactically not the best choice, and how it might help if they moved up to support the DD trying to take back the caps and stop the enemy point gain. The swearing usually starts AFTER that, as who am I to question their elite gameplay?

edit: I did... I'll let myself out...

And there I was it was just an excuse to post cute pictures Btw, since you're getting others trying to be semi constructive, how about you doing the same? It's not like you can expect me to make constructive posts about how to fix cv's without being really really generic and thus absolutely obvious Maybe WG will listen to constructive criticism

Sub_Octavian has said that WG has made fixing the issue a high priority development target, but the initial timeframe they gave was mid 2018. Then they made the statement about making it a very high priority target, but didn't give a timeframe. Which is I think sensible since changing underwater ap arming is in their own words a very complex part of the engine, and as people have raised it will also without a doubt have some consequences which wouldn't be wanted so it will probably take a lot of revisions before it would even make it to a PT. I'm to lazy as well to go find quotes so you will have to take my word for it.
