Excavatus

Have you ever heard something called Dark souls? or death space with insane difficulty? Some people really likes a challenge.. I am one of them.. I love them.. I want to get frustrated.. get insanely angry to the game.. to myself.. to my stupidty.. I love the games that there I haven't got a single chance to make a mistake.. I like to try and try and try and try and fail and fail and fail and fail.. and in the end.. once! win!! FECKING WIN!! oh that satisfaction is nothing to compare with anything.. and after that.. you do that again.. until you perfect your method.. and you make it like walking in the park, like other new ones are failing like you did :) oh joy! Demon souls!! I am coming back!!

It starts with Germany-italy-USSR at one side, UK-France on other side.. then at the 5th min mark, jap joins on one side.. around the 8th min mark US joins to the other side while Italians changes side. Then around 12 min mark, german ships starts to team damage Russian ones, and russia goes to the other side and starts to kill german ships. around 15 min mark, Jap CVs comes into the game and wreck the US ships.. and around 17min mark, there will be only German ships on one side, and US-UK-France-USSR ships on the other side.. how about this... real enoug?

This is amazing!! How it is unfair? why it is unfair? I am really amazed.. do you think you are entitled for the ship?? Unfair??? really.. how???

It is like a doctor who makes people sick deliberately and then saves them at the last minute and be the hero! I am pretty sure there is a term for this condition in psychology :)

about a couple months ago, in You in BB I was in a CA.. pushing up C, way past the cap on east side. Got flamed by an idiot who thought we are camping. I can find the related "seen a forumite in randoms" post about it. but I am lazy as feck. The point is, you and me both giving some nice words to that people.. I am sure I got reported in there. I believe getting into arguments.. not that important. One thing @Hades_warrior said is true, some people put you on blacklist because you killed them a year ago, or they dont like how you post in forum, and gives an -1 everytime they see you. But even though that is not enough I think. I guess.. there is a tipping point. something like this. you need 100 reports in a week to get your first chat ban. after that you need 5 reports a day to get another chat ban.. Because everyone complaining about unfair chatbans, are the repeating offenders. there must be a flaw in the algorythm of that automated system..

you've seen on the first hand :) I never stop myself calling idiots "idiots!" :)

nothing to add.. take this.. save for bad days! +1 Kudos!

yep... just because of this.. we go in a 3 men division If we can. at high tiers, 1 DD 1 radar capable CA and a BB. CA parks an island near the cap DD is going in, and BB goes to crossfire position relative to that cap.. This 2 support ships are more than enough for a DD to cap or get away when the numbers are overwhelming. If a retreat is needed, CA is already safe.. and DD just runs and put a smokewall between the BB and the enemy.. BB goes silent.. all team can relocate safely... This should be easy to do even with random teammates.. but when I try to do or explain this.. I encountered.. BBs going the worst positions BBs staying back BBs running past your smoke even though after you start retreating BBs sitting in your smoke and firing Radar ships, who refuse to use radar because they dont have an angle to shoot Radar ships who prematurely uses radar without being asked for.. because "Thats Muh radar!" If you ask me, in todays conditions, all you need 2 semi intelligent players to understand what you are doing in anyship and support each other. general random teams crumble against this :)

oh joy, V25 with a 19 point captain.. not so many ships can compete the fun levels with her.. You were witnessed an art show OP, better enjoy it next time

WTH? I am toxic in at least half of my battles.. questioning the intelligence levels and window cleanliness degree of some players.. I call people "You are a magnificient C.unt you know that please!" I have 0 karma... never ever get chat banned.. I wonder what does these regularly chat banned dudes..

You know what OP, I hate when everyone trying to sit behind an island and/or far away enough to go silent in between shots and asks DD to go spot and/or cap to be the single threat to the enemy team, while everyone wants to sit safely and fire away shells. Sorry to burst your bubble.. but this is not how it works.. If you are not behind your DD.. If you are not actively supporting your DD. and in a battleship, If you are not giving something to the enemy to shoot at, instead of your DD.. This is not how all this works.. DD spot, DD cap, DD contest, DD torp.. what you do in this time? other than looking cool in your bulk of steel??

If you are in a position, where a team mate can get infront of your torps after a whole min you fired them.. you are in a very wrong position to begin with!! and remote detonating torps? really? no.. firing torps in a close quarters situations is a very high risk to have after great calculations and a lot of prayer to the SerB the almighty! You can save a teammate who would die, you can kill a teammate who would be lived. you can force the enemy to give broadside to your friend, or you can force your friend to give broadside to CC enemy.. With that button! It would be the torpedo soup more than ever!

I really wonder, When will ever people start to understand that, IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE to implement, any kind of skillbased MM in a game which has, random teams and no fecking respawn mechanic!!

agree.. BBs have the greatest advantage in cyclones. and it is good to put 20km sniping BBs out of game for a quite while. So you can be sure, If you encounter a BB he will at least 2 working braincells. And I always say, you are given the informatin just at the start of the battle. you should plan accordingly for the cyclone, sitting 20 - 15 km away from a cap in a yamato while the countdown reaches 0 , then complaining after it is just another bingo hit from the card I think.

When your 15km detectability drops to 8, even after you fire your guns. When the ship you've just spotted cannot have any support.. When you are in a BB... and If someone thinks this is not a huge advantage.. please remove brain from the freezer and put back in.. When I am in my Musashi and see the cyclone countdown at the start.. I just ovewhelmed with joy everytime. drop a couple happy tears.. and I start humming the mission impossible theme.. (Bum! Bum! Bumbum! Bumbabumba! bum! bum!) Because I am a ninja!!! That is the best thing that can happen to a BB.. Stealth DDs can come and torp you with or without a cyclone.. I agree with this idea.. Cruisers are the most shafted line in cyclone.. My mino starts to cry in citadels.. in cyclone..

Sorry OP but I agree with other guys.. Shenyang is a complete monster... some even can say OP when its top tier... The problem you are having is not the ship I guess.. check the seating facilities around your computer.

Oh hello there :) I remember this battle.. it was in okinowa.. and our gloriously, magnificently retarded CV tried to kill a 2 x wooster division :) oh joy

WG gives freebies to the people who are basically AFG (away from the game) for over a long time, daily active players cry their eyes out!! Where is MUH FREEBIEEEEESSS!!! WG gives a generous present on dubloon purchases for people who never bought anything, active paying players cry their eyes out!! WHERE IS MUH FREEEBIIEESS!!! WG for over a month now, giving presents for daily active players, day by day day by day , with some of them (coal) you can buy FREEEBIE Premium ships.. and now WG give substantial amount of presents and gifts and FREEBIIEES! and those people.. still complaining??? for what??? not announcing this 14 days ago??? really??? or not having tier 10 ship (just to miss the 1 gift out of 10) Really.. If I were a WG developer or marketing people.. I would say, EDIT IT I AM OUT! There is no way to make these people happy..

finally decided to continue my grind on PA DDs after gadjah mada. Bought hsienyang.. 5 battles in it.. first one in tier X.. I said ok.. "Hello darkness my old friend!" Its been a while that I grinded tier 8 ships.. next 4 battles.. top tier.. what??? really??? am I gonna die??? Please continue to do this WG.. me like that almost no radar, tier 6 and 7 BB infested matches...

I can contribute to this with my musashi There was a poor shima running away from desmo radar, towards me in the cyclone. I got detected.. then I think he decided It is too late to turn away.. he charged towards me to torp I guess.. I detected him full speed bow on to me.. full HP.. 5km away.. I think he decided to wait for me to shoot then turn sideways to torp.. 1 salvo from both front guns.. a deleted shima :) a dev strike a salty DD captain in chat!

not to your own teammates.. no only to the enemy

You cant give an +1 to your mate in the divison. You can only give If you are not in a division both in the same team or opposite. And that being not so high probability, exploting karma system is not a very strong possibility.

Ok, This SBMM, WR, player skill, "I would be a unicum If I didn't get potatoes in my team all the time" whinings was ever a longer subject going on WOT forum, and since that I really like to play with numbers and statistics, I posted the below into WOT forum around a year and a half ago. It is about "How Player Skill effects WR - Simulation" PS: I started the simulation with 200 battles, then did 500 and 1000.. then after that I did it for the divisons.. all are in the spoilers. (Not gonna add 500 results..) enjoy, critisize, add, etc.. Be civil please.. ORIGINAL POST IS IN SPOILER DOWN BELOW! And here in the next spolier, other additions from me into this work. Now it is for the platoon (division) simulation time, same principle, same math, did for 500 matches for the divisions. Cheers!

are they hurt? WHO LET YOU OUT OF GULAG!!! UnAcceptable!

do you have a source for this change?
