Please, no. And this is why: I find it abysmally easy to get in the top 3, even more so when I would screw the game objectives and just farm the enemy using team as meatshields. And yes, that happens, look at WoT in games where there is a very low winchance, the XVM abusing uniscums ( not unicum, those are good people, it's the scum which is the issue ) will forgo trying to win and just farm as much dmg as possible so their ratings don't drop. No excuses, a loss is a loss, if you play consistently well you will win more then you lose anyway,

Yeah yeah yeah, my comment was me moving on letting you get your closure ps: scaling is still an issue sadly, there been quite some requests for better UI scaling for high res screens and I have faith proper support will be added eventually but it's taking it's time.

I don't think that would be more fun, maybe a little less frustrating at times, but you will also miss those glorious : 3 hits + 4 citadels bye bye tier X cruiser moments. I kind of like those last type of moments, and so far the frustration is usually not high enough to part with those one shot kill moments as a way to get more consistent damage output.

Getting closure... ok, moving on

Could you fix that quote and not make it look like I said all that It would punish solo players, which isn't good, but on the other hand this is a team oriented game, and playing in divisions ensures higher levels of teamplay so I kind of think that is a good thing. Bit torn here, I play 50% solo or so, so it would negatively affect my tier progression as well. Also, as to your very refreshing WG bashing ( never seen that before, you must be very original and a real trend setter ), nothing is set in stone for now afaik, I don't even play WoT anymore so I don't know if it's already implemented there.

Mhm some people actually care about their performance, you know, it's a game, people play it to win and have fun doing so. If I lose a couple of battles, I take a break. No fun in losing back to back. I never though: ow wait, darn another victory I should really stop playing now because this isn't fun anymore

Like I said, all the Omaha's are workable, tier 5 is the best tier for CL's as well so whatever way you look at her ( Marblehead ) she is not a stinker. Ps, in battles where you are low tier, don't be aggressive let your team engage and only then move in at a spot where you think the least attention is going to OR use islands to get close enough to enemies and the same islands to get into cover if the enemy pulls out of your range and you can't pursue.

Even more, not that long ago it was confirmed it still had the highest team kill count of the server even after being pulled for a LONG time already

Yes but i'm not talking about 'good' DD players, i'm talking about 'most' DD players. I have seen DDs drop smoke in front of me when the NEAREST enemy ship was over 8kms away! Alot of them, especially when capping, seem to do it as a knee jerk reaction and dont consider that they have just rendered the guns of their team mates cruiser behind them useless. Aha, yeah.... So, I in DD in a cap, I see my sixth sense coming up, I hammer smoke, I get hidden and the enemy DD which spotted me never get's lit up but you still think that enemy CA at 8km is the reason I popped the smoke. See, things aren't always as simple as they seem. But yeah I been on both sides and trust me if you were ever on ts with me when a fail DD is popping smoke at a stupid time and location I'm cursing him to hell and back ;) Then I always think I might not have the complete picture, and I try to stay calm(er)

No, if in smoke, you're not visible to planes even if right overhead. And btw, if the DD has to pop smoke, him obscuring the enemy from your guns is the least of his concerns. A good DD player will stealth up and approach from other direction restoring your vision shortly after anyway.

I don't understand the intent of this post, but I can tell you it's a he and not a she ;)

No, because my WTR is around 1200 I think and my in game 'rating' was high in the 14xx's Really, idk what it is, Mister_Greek was > 1600 and had a different color then me.

Smoke used to extend as a column and you could not look over it, take a look at Sharana's old spotting guides. To my knowledge this hasn't changed.

The question should be: is Indiana better for RB's then any of the silver ships? In my opinion it's clearly not, but hey I might be wrong.

Sure if you have enemies stupid enough to get torped multiple times the damage will add up, but the damage output of this 8km torps individually is not high enough to make it worth it to close within 8km. And you can't proof a point with showing your ONE lucky game ( with a 28k avg dmg, I am not afraid to say it was an obvious fluke ).

You misinterpret my sentence, I never said MM was good as is, I said it is not needed to block fail divisions in the MM ( since MM only comes into play for people in the battle queue, and stopping fail divisions means preventing them from coming into contact with the MM as they wouldn 't be able to enter the battle queue ).

Yes I got that but what benefit would it be to you to see it longer in game? If you had enough situational awareness for it to matter you would already know, and if you have no idea, what good does it to you to know?

Don't need nerf to stealth DD's which this would be. Radar is a biatch yes, but you can bait it and then the CA has it on cooldown for a long time which is the saving grace of it. You want to lower the 'danger' during radar on time, but increase the danger during radar off time.

The torp range makes it seem they are useful, don't be fooled they aren't really. But, no, you're not spotted before you can shoot but at the same time ( the circles overlap almost perfectly ). And while I haven t played her much, 21 games, I have a 76% wr in Marblehead and a not that bad 45k dmg, which is very comparable with my 75% wr and 50k dmg Omaha and the damage is even in line with my Murmansk at 49k. Marblehead is an Omaha, Omaha's are good cruisers at tier 5, even if you gimp it you can work around it ( on most maps. for obvious reasons I don't like Ocean where everyone can kite me to death and there are no islands to use to corner and ambush people ).

Smoke is not an island, it extends from sea level to max alt in the game, aka planes should not be able to look over them unless they changed the mechanics and I missed a patch note

The red phone has already been used So, now it's again a waiting game, waiting for feedback

MM v2 was announced to be a work in progress but I am not sure it has much to do with the division issue brought up here, MM doesn't need to change to prevent fail divisions since MM only comes into play after people enter the battle queue. Division issue, and implementations in WoT to discourage them, are unlikely to be tied to a new MM.

Seems to be the case, the xvm base of the minimap mod seems to include the win rate and avg xp ( I think, not even 100% sure what the number other then the wr is ). But, I am not sure if it's intended or not to work for us, I think it might be kept in place because of shared functionality with other XVM parts but that it wasn't supposed to be active ( not even once in 20 games or so ).

I guess we're going to teach mostly scrubbiness to them, then how to properly ding, how to shoot gold in WoWs and finally, how to hog all the damage
