I'm a Historical Wargamer, never ever say "Right, anything but a 1"

I love my Japanese crews in WOT, when anything happens it sounds like the Commander is totally loosing his mind

Don't get too hung up on your win rate matey and enjoy the game, it's supposed to be entertainment........apparently

Clock counting down now on that offer, what happens when it reaches zero? No more Tirpitz? Or does a German tab appear in port? Thoughts?

Thanks for your sensible post, maybe the thread can get back on track now and a serious conversation take place.

Oh you want to play that game do ya? OK I will point out that my 51% win rate in the Murmansk seems to be somewhat better then your 47% win rate in the Furutaka. Now because I'm an adult that knows a thing or two about this game having played 1150 games in CBT and 1300 odd in OBT I'm fully aware that overall win rate doesn't mean anything (but you obviously do, trying to rub stats in my face? How's that working out for ya?) So if we are going to compare stats lets look at your average damage in that ship: 31,000 odd damage Lets look at the average damage in mine shall we? 41,000 Maybe we should look at your best game in the Furutaka? 88,000 damage and 5 kills What's mine in the Murmansk I hear practically no-one cry (cause lets face it the only one interested in this pissing contest is you) 135,000 damage and 6 kills No doubt your going to start crying that of course my numbers are higher, I'm playing the fabulous autowin button that is the Murmansk (yeah right) but that would be slightly hypocritical of you as you have played a staggering 35% of your total games in the Warspite! Anybody on this forum who starts trying to use a players stats against him to win an argument has already lost the argument and made themselves look like an idiot, and therefore you enjoy your fabulous ship, I'll enjoy mine. And yes, the rest of you, I am fully aware that sailing along broadside to the enemy is a bad idea in ANY ship, thanks, my point was that a large proportion of Furutaka players seem to do it more then most. Murmansk OP? Well that's a matter of opinion, its a great ship but the reason people play it is the money it earns, not because it's OP. The Guns on the Furutaka are powerful but the guns on Murmansk are good enough and fire alot faster, I think you'll find Murmansk has far higher DPM, so In close range fights is more then capable of dealing with IJN Cruisers T5 and under.

Got nothing to do with range matey, usually kill em at under 10k, very rarely use the spotter plane, I really don't like the head down view, I just can't get it to work for me.

Really happy they sorted the sound out, before my sound was appalling, hands down the worst part, lots of sound tearing and the guy announcing stuff sounded like he was recorded at half speed sometimes but all that has gone and the guns sound awesome.

I'm fully aware of what I'm talking about thanks, I have no trouble killing them at all, in fact I'm sure a a little smile breaks out on my face every time I see one on the opposite team "Oh goody, free XP". You can angle all you want.

I had noticed this and tbh welcomed it, spotting can be done with catapult aircraft and DD's, if anything I find the game more fun without them.

However it's armour is garbage and in my Murmansk I usually get multiple citadel hits per salvo. Took on two the other day killed both in 4 salvo's. The ship is no doubt very capable (I can't bring myself to play it again, even if it is improved) but requires careful play that does not involve sailing along in a straight line, broadside on to your enemy.

Meme needed please

Mmmm I'm not so sure. T10's (and not just the CV's ) are still having a "happy time" atm imo. T10 is not massively populated and T9 is only just beginning to make regular appearances in the team lists, They are largely getting T8 games (I should know, I've got an Ibuki). Nothing wrong with being T10 and stat padding is not the intention for most but for a couple of months this is going to be the way of things as most of the playerbase is still at T6.

Two sides to this coin....... You get a game that frankly sucks, that's some pretty terrible MM, not much incentive to play if your going to get that. Him. He's spent alot of time and effort to get the ship he wanted and in order to play it he's got to wait 15mins for a game? Not much incentive to play there either, that's alot of gaming time wasted. So what we have here is a situation that pleases no one and a less then perfect solution. What the answer is, I don't know. However coming on here and complaining about it in this way won't endear you to anybody and does nothing for your credibility. Count to 10, deep breath and try something more constructive.

Oh dear, is this the best you can come up with? Not very adult is it?

I think that buying flags for Extra XP and Credits is fine, no problem there. I'm not so keen on being able to buy "In game" advantages, such as faster firefighting, reduced flooding etc. etc. Although they give small advantages, they are advantages over some one who is not using them none the less. I would advocate a two tier flag system, Flags that can be bought and flags that can only be earned.

I can understand your frustration slightly but there was no need for the Language.

But we are talking T7, 8, 9 and 10 here where your IJN cruiser will not have a significant range advantage over the US ones, all cruisers have 203mm guns. The torps allow the IJN to be played more aggressively then their US counterparts.

I have the most appalling loss streaks sometimes, on thursday I lost 9 games in a row in the Ibuki. The important thing is that you then recover from that and that there is a general upward trend, if not then your doing something wrong and you need to examine your play. If your killing ships, doing lots of damage and making money then that's more important then your win rate. There are of course lots of other factors, not just hardware (and I understand your issues, my computer is not as bad as yours but still not ideal) I for example gave up smoking and moved to E-cigs, at about the start of OBT I moved to the lowest dose of cartridge you can buy, that probably didn't help. Trying to play when tired and in a bad mood is never a good idea and I'm as guilty of that as anyone, the guys on TS will tell you I can get quite grumpy when I'm tired. And then finally we have the elephant in the room, overinflated stats. Try not to compare your's with others, some people have been enjoying what the German sub skippers in WW2 called "The happy time". There has been some extinction level seal clubbing going on since OBT start.

I always feel slightly at a disadvantage when playing US Cruisers, it's the lack of torps, they just don't feel as versatile. But as stated above, and it's an important distinction, they need to be played differently to IJN Cruisers being more defensive in nature.

Yep. And factor in most of the Devs are Russian speakers and tend to hang out on that forum, they tend to get listened to more then us, that's just life unfortunately. But even if that were not the case, the business model is sound as far as they are concerned, they are still making money despite what some people think of the policy, so why would they change it? The idea is just a non starter, content attracts new players, restricting content is a silly idea when we need those new players.

Forum pressure? Maybe but not this forum matey........................

Most pointless thread ever. WG don't care what you think Figment, they will sell as long as someone will buy and nothing you say will make the slightest difference.
