    @havaduck DoT RNG gave me multiple middle fingers on top of your magic - each attack run felt a bit like https://clips.twitch.tv/SneakyAdorableCoffeeHoneyBadger

    Rita just 2nd line torpedo killed Jingles live on Twitch - sadly I was occupied and couldn't clip the TK itself, but her reaction https://clips.twitch.tv/GenerousCourteousPoultryTheTarFu

    (1) Cleared the entire wave alone (2) Cleared my side of the convoy (3) Had to face both CV without backup and the possibility to smoke because I was too far away for hydro (4) Dive bombers killed engine and rudder, so I had to use dmg con and received a flooding from an unintentional cross drop afterwards (5) All that's left is to ping the important target and wish those parasites good luck (6) DD got killed and the CV survived (those two BB didn't get a sea star (= own ship's hp dealt as dmg) but an "universal seaman" award) (7) Did I rage? No - I blamed myself for not dodging properly. I'm at a point where only good players surprise me anymore.

    How to angle musashi/yama vs other yama?

    Updated my post, does anyone have a source regarding shell trajectory calculation in WoWS? @MrConway

    How to angle musashi/yama vs other yama?

    Note: Since I didn't find anything regarding ballistics in WoWS (i.e. shell trajectory), the usefulness of this is limited, but it can still help I guess ;) Angles measured with Inkscape's measurement tool...can't do the math right now, but I'd say: When in doubt go bow-in and pray for RNG ('A' is the smallest available surface in this calculation). Calc I use: https://panzerworld.com/relative-armor-calculator? Yamato pen curve over distance source: 0-30 degrees -> auto ricochet 30-45 degrees -> chance to ricochet 45-90 degrees -> ricochet doesn't occur source: http://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Ship:Gunnery_%26_Armor_Penetration (A) (nvm that error @ 47° angle, will not re-draw ^^) Upper A = 608mm (penned below ~16km), chance to bounce - the shell will arc into the plating from above, tho -> Most effective at very short ranges. Lower A = 377mm (auto pen) -> could be effective at long ranges, against steep plunging fire (dunno if the game really does that). (B) Upper upper B: Auto ricochet at close distances. Lower upper B: Angle steepens to the outside, will use 48° (worst case): 626mm, penned below 15km Lower B: 503mm, penned below 24km Conclusion: In reality all of these values are way worse because of shell trajectory. There can be freak bounces at very close (upper citadel) and very long ranges (lower citadel). If someone can link me a source regarding shell trajectory calculation, I could come up with a definite guide...

    Win Rate and High stat player attitudes

    You should've done something else with all that time, imo.

    I'm pretty sure that's a false statement!
  9. It's random and it will even out over time. What will not even out is OP's influence.

    4 stars Our CV made targets turn away the whole time, thus limiting my dmg...if only he hadn't used auto drops, he might have hit stuff even.

    You should go up the IJN BB line, your mate can give you some tips.

    And that is terrifying! You cannot give us a detailed "received dmg" report either, hu?

    ...nobody is expecting you to carry...but it seems that you're actually hurting your team's chances to win ;) You are not an average player, mate...replay please - otherwise nobody will be able to comment on your Montana performance.

    Let's be honest: It's called a sh.it division Divisions are force multipliers. But if one (or two players) contribute(s) a force <1...well, we have a sh.it division! 1 = average, neutral
