That is bow plating, I would shoot your superstructure which would pen no issues ( 16mm ). Don't blame the ship when it's the player which made the wrong call Arizona already has shorter barrels then New Mexico, it has slower shells and thus less pen. Knowing where to aim with them is even more important than with New Mexico.

Sick setup Cherry, you're making me jalous with that under the desk screen But while playing your KB obscures it ( unless you got arms like a gorilla )?

I was thinking of some of the top CV players indeed, as even Umikaze would not pull that high WR consistently. Well ok, I will concede that 90% is probably overly optimistic but 80% as you say should still be possible ( Hosho? ).

Sarcasm should be emphasized with a not a Come on, you know there are many people like me on this forum who can't read between the lines that well

Post #6 is what will make this thread dissapear tomorrow, and I guess a RO for OP. The point is there, and without post #6 I would upvote him. Sadly, that's not the first time I seen this 'stuff' from OP.

Not true because this is a team based game where people can join 3 man divisions but are still part of a 12 people team. It has nothing to do with more or less skill based, it has to do with how much influence a single player has. If I ask some people to make a smurf account and I let them play low tier games only they will also have 90%+ win rate, right up to the point where they stop seal clubbing and move up in tiers towards a level where there are more people of equal skill. If he keeps playing, he will NOT gravitate to 50% since WoWs does not have true skill based MM ( though lower tiers are populated by newer players which gives in a way the same effect ). Casual players should play single player games where their performance or lack there off doesn't hinder others. PVE in this case would also suffice, as even with casuals in the team people can still get 90%+ win rate's easilly. If you're talking about 'less skilled' players instead of casual players ( casual player is a player which isn't interested in improving or learning because he deems the game a 'past time' and not a competitive environment like it actually is ), their enjoyment comes from those few moments where their lack of skill is matched by the lack of skill of their enemies, and this has nothing to do with being more or less 'skill-based'. The 'not skill based' aspects ( RNGesus says hi ) are equal for everyone, and according to law of averages this doesn't make the game less skill based when taking into account not a singular gameplay moment but a larger sample size of games.

This thread, and OP, will be gone tomorrow guys, just ignore. Also,

Nah it still reads like you're saying that WoWs tries to 'pull people towards 50% win rate'. Same old story, different words. The game is skill based enough, that is why there are people with well over 70% win rate and 'players' with sub 40% win rate. The team based gameplay makes getting much higher or lower almost impossible, but that has nothing to do with 'less skill based'.

The only thing which is 'worse' is concealment ( ow and 10km < 12km ).

Arizona has heavier broadside then Warspite, and KM BB's just require one to aim slightly higher then one would for citadel hits.

I think you meant something else here edit: and if not, you're right up there with And 'casual game'?? For you maybe, stop trying to fill it in for others. Plenty of people are NOT casuals, and take the game quite serious. I don't play to lose, I don't have fun when I suck, I play to win and to play well. A casual game for me is anything which is single player. This isn't single player. I HATE having casuals on my team who respond with 'relax, it's only a game'. Those people I would rather see on the enemy team ( or in PVE ).

The thread was specific for detonations while sailing under the flag so I assumed you were going on about that. Then this thread can serve no more purpose outside of waiting for Earl_Of_Northresk 'channels' give a definitive answer. Can take a LONG time though, and I speak from experience.....

No.... like double no! 1. You know better then most here WG balances based on their own statistical data, and they largely disregard forum feedback ( unless it happens to coincide, then it's good PR to say 'hey we listened to your feedback!' ). 2. The ( 100% valid ) complaints that WG is catering to the BBabies are not 'recent'. In fact, I think they might even be decreasing a bit right now. And not because it's less true, but because people are giving up ( see point 1 ). edit: the decrease might also involve a place called 'the graveyard'

Would be nice if people experiencing 'bugs' would post replays so we can verify the mounted flags

The times I played with him and we were on TS it was , just written Engrish you know ;)

So I can't play tier 4 ships Why would it be 'ok' in higher tier matches for someone to score six kills but not on mid/low tiers? And complaining about 'torpedo soup' at lower tiers.. Clemson can't even stealth torp.. .if you run your BB in Clemson torp wall it's 99 out off a 100 times your own fault. And as to him scoring six kills, maybe you had terrible team members. Which is all ok, since the Law off averages dictates that the plebs will be just as often on the enemy team ( as WG does not use player skill in MM ). So what I said and what you said to be wrong, is actually 100% correct. If you don't agree, I think it might be prudent to look up Dunning-Kruger.

I think I played with him but I can't remember his performance. Either way, your sentence is not making much sense "can don't doubt"? Any more need to say?

I agree, I actually enjoy comments from baddies about 'cap whoring' or w/e, especially if done by blue line snipers who don't contest the caps. Which, again, is why I feel damage in WTR is valued way to high compared with winning.

Don't you know, angling is for noobs

There is a mod which places the ship from the compass below your aim point, it's in Aslain's modpack I think ( it's one of his own mods, not present in other packs afaik ).

Didn't we have a 'find the easter eggs' contest a while back ( or thread.. not sure if it was a contest )? Pretty sure this fort was found and identified in it..

I got pain in the neck from playing on my TV, granted I had to put it very close since my desk/table isn't that big... So now I play on a 22' 1680 monitor

Could be, but then again his profile is private ....

Red text? Really? I smell BBV getting angry already

Why don't you enable both timers? It's in the options, it shows both gun and torpedo reload timers at the same time.
