I want an experiment from WG, put a single bot in a ship at tier 5, a cruiser or a BB, let it play 1000 games.. and give us the stats for that bot. I put my money for that bot will have better stats than %50 of the general population. Bots are better..

I prefer a stalingrad 1v1 over a kiting zao or a wooster everytime.. Stalingrad has guns.. but thats all.. that is the only good thing about that ship.. Even a moskva can outspot him, all other cruisers can decide the engagement against a Stalin.. can torp him.. easy peasy..

not in random, or ranked, or training room.. or not even in the game.. but I've seen @wilkatis_LV in his charles martel.. in the latest Jingles World of Warships video, Taking the second place on EU for most damage done in that ship, in a battle with 9 tier 10s.. without using his new shiny main battery reload booster ever. :) Tell me mate, Why don't you have priority target? And gratz! very nice game.. you are famous now!!! Check it out here

@Crysantos Thanks for the clarification. Now we can clearly continue to beat-up eachother in randoms :) Because when you go in 2x2men divisions, it is almost %95 goes in enemy teams.. and it is so much fun to beat your friends :)

Cheers mate.. Looking forward to it..

oh... a gunboat captain is crying because there is a better gunboat now owning him :) how fun to see that... what do you think IJN DD captains face against a fletcher or ognevoi in a Yugumo, or a grozovoi or a gearing or a YY in shima.. do you think we cry and whine?...

so basically opposing to the announcement that @MrConway made about sync dropping in ranked is totally ok for clan mates unless they rig it, Now we learn from the OP and @Crysantos that you can get banned by getting into the same ranked battle with your buddy... ok, let me as a couple questions then gentelmen, If it is considered rigging to sycndrop into a match and a bannable offense... how do you plan to prevent people from different branches of a same clan? How do you plan to prevent people leaving their clan and doing this again? How do you plan 2 or more friends without a clan doing this? actually.. do we know that they are not already doing this? If you ask me dear WG, while there is a mechanism which allows people to do this, trying to prevent it just with the CLAN tag.. is completely idiotic. This way you can only catch either idiots who has no influence on a match even together People who are completely innocent and just trying to play game with their friends according to what @MrConway said Very unlucky people. If I understood correctly, this is a step to keep ranked fair and clean. But the means for the people who oppose to that notion are still there and easy to use. It is like, this is your security now... to keep the house clean from the burglars.. but you are only keeping guests away from it.

Spot on mate.. I believe a CB season for tier 2 or 3 would be more than fun.. Imagine mikasas sailing around.. ahaha

29k average damage for kagero really reflects the window cleaning capacity of the general population. It is less than 2 torp hits per match.. I can't even comment on it.

Oh yes.. when I go for tier 2 sealcl... youngling trainings there is always some other teachers around. Same team or enemy team.. we compete much

No, I am just trying to teach the younglings about the cruelty of life!

Kagero with TRB is one of the best (may be the best) fish boat in her own tier.. yeah hard to hit with torps you have to get closer than your torp range. you have 5.4k detectability, I was using her for torping in and around 6.5 - 7kms.. tops But on the otherhand, I totally agree with you, spotting damage must be included into the XP calculations, more than the current cituation.

I don't know about tier 1, but I like to sail into my V25 with her 19pt captain once in a while :)

The main idea from the OP I guess is not icebergs moving around but carrying your waifu island all around the map :) I think he is imagining himself in his atlanta or cleveland.. .pushing an iceberg from left to right :)

century may be?

If the above response targeted towards me, I am sorry pete, I've never thought you are one of the people that I need to put (/s) at the end of my posts when needed :)

Dear @Shoot_Him_____ I don't know about your situation and as people said we can't give any opinions about what happened in that battle unless we see the replay. So, I neither think you are guilty nor innocent. I can only say from the past experiences and observations as a long time WG costumer, WG %99 ban people who deserves it WG does not ban people just because they are reported by someone else Going in same battle with your clanmates, ranked or random, accidentally or syncronizing is totally allowed If you abide by the rules of the game so that is not a bannable offence. and most importantly, 24 HOURS is so so so so short time for WG to read the report, watch it, and act on it.. :) If you are in the %1 part, I hope you get cleared and compensated as fast as it is possible, If you are in the %99 part, I hope you get permabanned in the very near future. Eitherway, I wish whats best for the community. Cheers.

I've dobule citadelled a republique with my Mino yesterday :) ahaha Totally unrelated but I just wanted to share.. so funny ahha On the other hand, German ships especially BBs, are very hard to citadel especially from close ranges.. You will get good penetration numbers and damages.. but dont look for citadel.. especially from broadside at mid to close range. From long range, plunging fire does wonders on them :) and from close range, I citadelled a kürfürst from AFT and BOW with very low angles.. but I did it only with my Musashi :) So I don't know that counts.

WOT players, before starting WOWs, already knows that the playerbase is generally consisted of window lickers.. They do not expect something from randoms. They do not get surprised when their team members die horribly and blame the team They do not get surprised when they see seal clubbers at tier 2 - 3 - 4 They have an idea what to expect from WG already.. Basically, This is on the left, a newcomer non-WG costumer player for WOWs, and the next one on the right is a WG costumer coming from WOT.. you sure can tell that the second one knows better! PS: They are roughly at the same age btw... Clear case of WGenoma for the right guy!

I was just to answer the same post with, Exactly, how does a AA unit eat a full 16 inch shell.. ? "With a lot of lube ofcourse!" I guess you saved the forum from my filth!... (or did you??)

I think we are making the most basic mistake by blaming teams in ranked. Because we are starting with the assumption of they are capable of logical thinking!

yeah thats even worse than "Shut up noob" answers! I think so too sadly. I really get baffled.. 1 GK, sailed alone.. completely alone to the 1-2 line on Giant from south spawn. in a 3 DD match.. Told him he will get pawned.. He said.. shut up noob you don't have stats to give me advice. Another people told him the same thing. He got torped to death... just under 5 mins.. and started to blame everyone on the team for not supporting. He was really expecting my mino to shoot 2 DDs.. who rushed him.. at the west enterence of the A cap in Giant.. from the C cap.... in a mino.. even though I had the range, I can't imagine how hard would it be to hit those wigling DDs over 20+km :) Anyway, I am not a fan of SBMM.. I actually think that will kill the game very easily.. But I am really advocating for some barrier for players to enter the competitive mode. I personally think there wouldn't be a place for people with 42% WR global, %37 WR in montana after 200+ games.. in ranked.. Yeah ı've seen this guy..

I heard from a friend that, doing 3-2-1 with 2 x 2men divison %98 guarantees you go into opposite teams. :) It is a very good way to kill your friends and laugh it after the matches.. Because when you are in a 2men div, MM first looks for same tier, 2men div to match you up.. If there is a chance to find another 2men div with same tier, they will matched against you but you will not be put same team with your clan mates. and even with %0.005 chance you get in, 4 people is not as bad as 6 or not too much better than 3.. But as my friend says, it is so much fun... As I've heard!

guys I think adapting the "Forumite mod" from the WOT would be perfect. It is just a mod that highlights the name of the mod users to point us who is a forumite. I guess we miss a lot of people who are not that active on writing but constantly lurking around here.

The main problem with the ranked battles if you ask me is most of the population are still trying to play it like randoms. I go there, do what I like. If we lose, it's the other peoples' fault. I was to much involved in the CB last season, and my brain still malfunctioning from all that map reading, tactics, etc etc. It is basically the same maps, 7v7.. In one ranked at around rank 15. I kindly give some tactic ideas.. one DD go cover the 1 - 2 line next to volcano, I will support with hindi.. 1 DD to C, covered by 2 CAs, and BBs, angle towards this side.. sit here etc etc.. unbelievable enough, they listened.. Except 1 BB.. he constantly blamed the DD and me, as for being idiots.. rest of the team were awesome. result? a semi CB tactic followed by 6 people.. decimated the enemy.. we only lost the idiot in the montana.. and obliterated the rest of the enemy. They were like deers in headlights. If someone, who has more than 100 battles in the given ship with positive WR, try to communicate with tactics in ranked.. I tend to listen and play accordingly. or at least discuss the options. The peoples manner in ranked like "Shut up noob!" or "Oh the great commander has spoken!" etc etc.. baffles me.. You keep loosing If you continue to play like randoms. Once in a while, you get carried for a battle or 2.. once in a while enemy completely ignores you and you keep your star on a loss.. with 300+ battles you reach to rank 1.. but that is not you playing good, but more like luck and RNG.. How hard it is to understand this??? How hard it is to just listen people then oppose to them after that If you think their ideas are wrong!
