In game performance doesn't matter, it's the recognition for earning one in game vs buying one, it's about visible recognition of the effort spent to get it ( and it's not even a sign of skill as everyone and his dog could fail himself to one given enough effort, just as people can fail to high 'rankings' in ranked battles ).

Yeah that works better with the CL's up to tier 5, from there on you get such slow rudder times a good DD will not have much problems with most CA captains. The problem I think is that you're expecting your allies to be actually good at the game, I don't think we really disagree on anything you're saying it's just not realistic given the current player base it seems ( and as in WoT, this amplifies during weekends and especially during events ).

I play IJN CA's, my role is not BB AAA escort ( though I can panic bombers if needed ). I will 'screen', but only if I have DD's to support ( my role as IJN CA ). Without advanced DD's even my 9.1km detection radius on Atago will not help against enemy DD's unless they are total morons. And if I am ahead, and there is a DD which torps me, it causes me to turn giving nice flat broadside to enemy BB's. So again, sorry but I don't want to die just because you think it's something I should do. If there are allied DD's in play, you wouldn't even have to ask me to 'screen' you because me supporting the DD's already means I'm probably way way ahead of you. ------- disclaimer ------- The reason I responded as such is because I might have wrongly assumed you don't understand strategic situations in the game, and hence are one of those BB's which pushes into superior or badly matched groups of enemies instead of playing tactically sound which in times might mean you play defensive not offensive. Maybe you do understand the above and you're just a bit mad to all the 'casual' players which even in situations which would benefit from 'proper screening' still hide behind their BB's. I know this, I had one last night. Allied ARP Myoko was 4km behind my Nagato with enemy DD's right in front of me... and needed even 2 reminders his job is to shoot the darn DD ( especially if already spotted by me ) and not continue to try and shoot at max range enemy CA. So yes, there are fail players. But not everyone plays like that. The problem is, and I fully understand this, the ARP Myoko might have thought I was some imbecile pushing his BB into a torp wall to just die and blame him. The downside of not having XVM, he might have seen I am not such an imbecile ( in most games ). edit: btw, those DD's in your formation are out of place. I seen '.....' in DD's 'escorting' BB's during ffin domination matches instead of contesting caps or SPOTTING ahead of the cruisers. There is no way a DD should EVER be behind cruisers let alone a BB. Just saying

There are different stages of engagement, I will gladly run in front of you but only AFTER enemy DD's have been lit up by friendly DD's or CV and taken care off. Since, if not, I will have to turn to avoid torpedo's 100% of the games, and I rather not give broadsides to enemy BB's at close ranges. Sorry, I just don't want to die just because you think I should. And before you go off about me not being a team players, I most certainly am. And I do reasonably well at the same time.

Ubertron_X, on 29 February 2016 - 05:34 PM, said: How about forgetting about feathers and adding the damage done total to the end screen as it already is for tanks and planes? Aslain's modpack seems to have added this ( haven't played yet with the new mods, but 'added damage to result screen' doesn't sound really ambiguous

It was done because Krass would indicate OPness, Profi is just 'proficient'

And yet, you win more games with Karbo then Kageroo. But it is an upward trend compared with Fubuki. Overall, I would first try and look at yourself before pointing to the game, as your performance shows many opportunities for self improvement.

Sounds like a plan

Toby, some people just 'play4fun'

But OP isn't using that one as evident from his Complist

I sold Karlsruhe asap, it was that bad to play. But don't use Kuma as Kuma was just to good especially with the AFT captain I had on her when I played her. In comparison with Phoenix, Karlsruhe is not that looking that bad in damage ( 2k less ). And yes, I did not play a single solo game with her, in fact I would advice people to play not a single solo game if it's possible to play with people you like playing with. I did play a couple ( five ) solo games with Koningsberg, won all of them and did 42k avg damage in them. My Omaha / Marblehead / Murmansk avg damage is 10k higher, but my Furutaka avg damage is much lower. The reason for this lower damage ( with Koningsberg ) is the lack of durability. In divisions I can use my range, the strong point, and avoid close brawls where I would melt to anyone who can aim. Even at range she doesn't dodge as good as Kuma ( or god forbid, Murmansk ).

You can ad a cutoff of 1000 xp, now you mention there are times where no one should be eligible ps. I am not talking about ranked, I don't like that mode with random bobs, rather play team battles with people you can choose.

Indeed, but it's more common than not that in those situations I still end in top 3 of the team so I the negative karma would be negated by the automatically added positive one. Maybe even don't allow 'play's poorly' karma for people in the top 3, and adding manual checks for 'chat abuse' and 'bot' so people who try to abuse that option are sanctioned. It was said in the Q&A that the developers do have plans with the Karma system, let's hope they see the problems and are listening to the feedback regarding the system as is.

I agree, Spithas would be a nice addition to the ST team because he can argue his position well and understands the mechanics behind his arguments. I am just wondering, am I as White Kinght, Assist clubber or calm-downer I was brainstorming with some others tonight and this was basically what it came down to for me as well. But, if you give Shima let's say Fubuki torps as top choice you will have to revisit all torps down the line a bit ( including USN torps.. can't have Gearing with equal let alone better torps then Shima ). Either that, or give CA's by default much higher torpedo acquisition ranges so that 'screening' with CA's actually makes sense. And even then, DD's can actually screen because they can avoid getting hit most of the time and give advanced warning to the people behind them ( and light up enemy DD's ) ... but a> DD's are being captain'd by randoms hence they don't do 'their job' and b> even if they do, the BB's behind them are captain'd by randoms and will more often that not ignore the advanced warning offered by proper screening. The changes underway might help a bit but I don't think it will help against long range torpedo walls which is what everyone is pointing to as being the actual problem. Even CV's are almost never scouting 'properly' because frankly they can't, they need their fighters to escort their bombers. Another option would be giving carriers an extra class of planes, scout planes. And extra fighter squads, so allied carriers can do CAP against enemy scouts. But maybe that's adding to much dept.

Anyone in top 3 of team should get + karma anyway for 'plays well' instead of depending on people not being 'salty' losers On the cowardice in battle, it's sunday, it was way worse than on normal play days. Same as with people just herp-a-derp around the map ( like a Farragut 'escorting' a New Mexico in a domination mode map where we had two DD's in total, or a CV constantly going for <1k hp CA's which my Gremmy is already taking care off when there are full HP BB's 5 km's from them ). If you'd ask me, this whole feather thing is unneeded, they just need to show Karma in game ( through markings on a hull or something, like gunmarks in WoT? ), and stop the abuse of the system. And as I said, auto add karma for 'plays well' for people who actually play well instead of having it depend on other players.

Take a look at Aslain's modpack, the crosshair's there ( some off them ) are much better suited for larger resolutions, and the minimap mod also allows making the minimap much larger than stock.

Installer log says you did a 'normal' install, maybe run it again and have it clean res_mods during install? You don't have 'navigator' mod which is causing crashes for me. The cammo remover at some time was causing crashes but I thought that was fixed so I am not sure. You better also post this in Aslain's thread, but only if you still have it after you reinstall in a clean res_mods folder, since it's most likely a mod/mod compatibility issue ( your driver is up to date I saw in dxdiag ).

Which mods did you install? There is a listing in this file -> _Aslains_Installer_CompList.log Also, can you give a directX output file?

Can't send logs anymore, Aslain turned his pm's off. But yeah getting many crashes with the mod will uninstall since I have no way to get them to developers anyway ( or, I am to lazy to make a RU account ).

That was then, now... same mods, same client, no changes whatsoever but I been getting numerous crashes the past weekend. Really annoying, having to deal with the weekend warriors as well as the buggy client.

Why are you lying?

I think he is insulting himself more then anyone else

Look at the quote again, I did say Forumites Don't be so salty man

The screenshot above you is just badly taken, had he finished typing in Forumites the channel from Sturmtiger304 would be clearly visible and accessible.

Those stats don't show turret layout though, where Ibuki has 3 forward facing front turret's which allows for more aggressive playstyle, Atago's 3 rear facing turrets are better suited at kiting.
