1. Proof of said correlation please. 2. Correlation does not imply causation. My personal observations are quite different, sure it seems there might be correlation between what I play and how I perform, but that's probably because of how I perform which when you think about it, actually makes more sense. Some classes ( CV's ) I do not get along with, others I do better in, that doesn't mean matchmaking is working against me when I play CV's it meant I was playing badly. Bonus missions I actually tend to ignore, especially since I started playing again, so I can't really see correlation there either. And if there would be correlation, I would expect my performance to fluctuate much more widely, which it doesn't. All of that combined makes me suspect you might be in need of a tin foil hat or two, but I look forward to being positively surprised. Those Jervis games were in division ranked, I actually bought Jervis back since someone in my clan told me Daring might be interesting in certain plays so I started the line again. Thing is, what makes Daring good also works for Jervis pretty well. You're sounding like I'm 'cheating the system' by playing ships which fit both my playstyle and the meta best? The guy I played with keeps playing BB's, and you know what he's pretty gud in them so it makes sense. Playing what you perform well with is not actively abusing matchmaking. It would be, if it was the only thing one plays. Or the guy with 55% account wr but 4k battles in a Kamikaze R with 65%wr. And even then it's not abusing matchmaking, it's WG failing to properly balance their game.

I played 3 today.... I was ranting on voice about the team plays but then again I was expecting people to you know, expect me to do things which make sense. But that's also the only way I think it's bearable, I gave up on normal ranked because I couldn't even depend on a single other player now I can ( doesn't even always indicate skill, intention and communication on voice really helps ). It's not like 'ranks' mean anything, at least make it bearable for players expecting a certain amount of team work ( or comradeship ) in battles. As long as divisions are mirrored there shouldn't be an undesirable impact I recon..

Even famous CC's are biased, which is why one should even take into account the reviews of Notser But yes CC's have been caught proclaiming certain ships are more broken as others while having in their hands the same performance. One has to take into account numbers don't always show context, the CC might know those other numbers were more heavily inflated due to divisions or different meta. About RU BB's, they seem to be performing well in the hands of good players but I seen them get really shitty results. My own Sinop numbers are no where near as influential as I was with Nagato.. but there are ships, I mean Pyotr is an immovable object when bow tanking when no one can flank it. Without checking I am 100% sure my Vladi numbers outperform my Amagi numbers, and that was the last BB line I actually grinded before picking up RU BB's ( and my premiums like Arizona, Warspite ), and I expect this to be holding true all the way upwards. And yeah I guess French BB's just fit particular niches really well and in capable hands... then again, JB's seem to be pretty popular padding material for some

I agree. edit: uptiering was happening as per normal, I was just lucky with gud teams

Now that's a remark which is entirely up to players opinion and which I therefore can not and will not argue against The only reason I posted it is because the lacking context. It would be like me complaining about carrier balance, and claiming country X is 100% getting shafted by WG, except with me everyone can see I don't play carriers ( since I needed plane kills for ARP campaign long long long ago ) and therefore my opinion about their relational balance should be seen from this limited viewpoint. People who I know to be good players claim GK in particular works really well as a tank build, but it requires a lot of situational awareness to be good at actually tanking ( eg most players think tanking is getting shot at regardless of purpose, actual tanking always has a purpose and if done properly not only for one's own survival ). Having played them during ST I found them ... not as appealing as the IJN BB line which up to now the Russians is the only BB line I was interested in. Up to Gneisenau I could work with them, I actually really liked Scharny when it came out.. I even bought it. I proclaimed on forum it was my new favourite ship, and I had really decent stats in it. Now I don't play Scharnhorst at all, and my stats plummeted, and mainly the gun performance started to really bother me, my AP started being less and less effective and I do not like battleships where my shell performance doesn't favor AP heavily. Statistics aside, if you asked me if I rather play Sinop as Gneisenau or Scharnhorst, I'd probably say yes. But lower tier German BB's are all fine, so is GK. FdG was buffed no that long ago I think and even that is statistically doing pretty decent now? Thing is, statistics can not show player enjoyment. On the other hand, most players aren't capable of forming an unbiased opinion, which probably includes me so don't worry ;)

This could point to a player problem just as much as a ship problem. Alas, for some reason we can't check. Therefore the data provided is entirely meaningless as it has no context.

Have you looked in any mirrors lately? You're acting like you fit your own accusation, just a little fyi

Alternatively, use WG's Modstation to add a tracer / shell modification.

Why do you consider it trolling Most of the posts here are whines about streaks of bad games, no one ever complains about their win streaks I thought it needed some attention. *most of the others are asking for SBMM thinking it makes the game more fun for them.

WarGaming I'd like to report an issue with your MM, it's 100% 95% surely rigged. Everyone keeps complaining about losing when they shouldn't lose so much, which I can entirely understand as I can imagine how that might feel. On the other hand though, those of us who know we aren't good enough to win every game, sometimes still have to suffer through days / streaks like these -> Surely everyone reading this can imagine how it must feel if you win that many games in a session and how frustrating it is knowing you didn't actually contribute to each and every one of them in the amount as you could have! As compensation I contacted support to complain about the MM, and offering they give me a free premium in reparation for their misdoing! When I hear back from them, I will update this post!

I'd stay away from Texas, I thought she was nice at first when it had meaningful AA ( gud CV will just long drop and avoid the high dps zone's as much as possible ). Now it's just a New Yorck basically ( the gimmick isn't worth as much ). Arizona is a well rounded tier 6 which unlike Warspite is even in a moderate players hand capable at higher tiers ( as long as they don't aim for belt armor of BB's... ). It all round and recent stats still indicate it's the best performing tier 6 BB afaik. Nice enough therefore is a bit of an understatement :) However she is not that fast, and the only reason you can work in higher tier matches is the added range. On the other hand she aint no 18kts BB at tier 7

We're not here to be interesting for you, we're here because we play this game and we like to keep it fun. Most of us don't particulary find it 'fun' to be a burden to their team, which is why almost everyone here not only plays for fun, but also to the best of their abilities. This includes being able to take some well meant advice. Why should people realize this, I guess not from your mature posting? Go buy a low tier premium. You're saying you play for fun, but I trust the others here if they tell me you're not ready for higher tiers. You won't be having a lot of fun I think when you're at the skill level I presume you are judging from the comments from others, most people don't enjoy being a punching bag. If you want a nice premium BB and you don't have it yet, get Oktober Revolution. It's tier 5 so not entirely in seal clubbing land for the better players among us, and it's a good battleship which is pretty fun to play ( frustrating sometimes due to having those 2 rear mounted turrets, it's no Nikolai.. ). Edit: if you don't want a tier 5, get an Arizona.

It depends on who you ask :)

I also don't think IFHE needs nerving, it's just another buff to BB's which they don't need. A targeted solution for the CL-CA interaction makes much more sense, and if this leaves some ships which overperforms with IFHE address them directly ( which is a problem with 'premium' ships historically, and while there been lots of talk about bringing back ships for sale after making adjustments to them there is not a whole lot to show for this talk afaik ). edit: to clarify, it's always releases like Smolensk which makes the BB crowd go wild and claim this game is unfair to them because *insert bingo card*. IFHE is a nice scapegoat to keep what WG thinks are their biggest cash cows engaged with the game development, so it's clear it will be nerved.

But you could nerf it in such way that its affects would mainly target CL-CA interaction couldn't you? Something like that perhaps.

What? So when I played 155 Mogami before WG nerved the crap out of it, I was playing her wrong? It melted BB's far far before IFHE was in the game. Then again, it had the same range as Kutu has still and actually workable turret traverse on the 155's. Ow shiet, someone beat me to it....

Uhm, they usually feed into spillways, that's what they are for ( not power generation, those are different parts of the dam system, this is used to prevent damage to the structure due to having to much pressure ( water ) in the reservoir. These bell mouth spillways are generally not gate controlled meaning they act as a pressure / water level relief system automatically. Usually the inlets for turbine's are gate controlled, makes maintenance a lot more feasible.

Both true. I need moar caffeine!

Sorry for OT

My Gremlin feels left out.

Chrome user here Yes, I like to give that evil company all my data I kinda expected it to be this one since it's quite famous ( search for gloryhole and you'll find .... no not that one, turn on safe search ffs ). Also, it's clear that MM is the best piece of software from WeeGee, it recognizes the impact of CV's so it shows WG how much less ships there are in queue at all times due to having ( current ) CV's in the game.

Mhm, I would wager that morally I'd say it be nice if WG gave players option when making big changes to ships ( removal of gun option, even if not popular to start with ) does seem 'big' Still I'd vote they can do w/e they want.

Nah I guess WeeGee is better at [edited]up because they had more to actually [edited]up. For me WT isn't enjoyable, there was never a crutch allowing a colorblind guy to play and not be at a disadvantage since I can't see camouflaged tanks. With thanks I can see why they try to push in new formats, the game is old and there is room to evolve ( and no other room to push out new premium content ). I haven't played tonks in a while tho, sheeps are more fun ( atm at least.. barely ). What is scary are the utter who after seeing first sub test are still not shouting out loudly they don't want that crap in their game ( as default game mode ).
