Excavatus

Enemy CV being a total gentelmen and sending his/her planes directly to you instead of you chasing them around and trying to protect your friends.. and you are complaining about it? really?

you cant do anything about the lacking witts of the usual WOWs player.. Just last night, I was trying to sail wide with my shima after capping.. (because reasons :) ) we encountered with a Kutuzov.. He just poped out of an island.. I turned left hard and just about to smoke up.. I saw he smoked up.. we were alone.. a kutuzov against a shima.. like 5kms away.. and he smoked up.. there were no one to spot me.. so I turned back.. stopped.. torped the entire smoke.. what happens next? he ate 3 torps.. at the exact same spot (nearly) he was spotted and smoked.. Then he said something like this.. "Frigging OP torp spammer shite!" "This ship and everyone that plays it must be banned" No changes in game will change this type behaviour.. never.. ever..

just wait for the Ruski BB's!! They will have ionizer cannons instead of regular guns.. The flight time of the shells will be 0.2ms and those guns will penetrate the mountains. Can be radar locked.. and your BB will have radars.. with 10 min duration and 15kms range.. so you just hit radar, radar lock and put a weight on left button.. Then someone will write a mod about changing targets automatically.. and ofcourse you will bounce all the shells below 461mm from your side.. and havin %98 Torp protection at the same time. But you will do only 28knotts.. to balance it out..

Thank you for presenting us a total textbook case of Percetion Bias. People start to play better.. "I am getting good at this" People start to play worse.. "They must have been changed something!" No one ever asked "Do they changed something because I am getting good at it!" and one ever asked, "I am getting worse after hundreds of battles.. what can cause this?" Classic WG clientele!

Graf zeppelin is a good balanced ship.. There is only one thing that needs to be done, to find someone who thought it was a good idea to put Bismarck secondaries on a CV.. That person needs an enema with tequila!

I dont have any problem while I am playing in a battle. But after I die, and start to watch the friendly and enemy ships.. they act like on a very severe addiction. Shaking side to side..

Please add TRB to that list... and shima will be glorious again!!! On the subject.. I dont agree with you totally OP. IJN DDs are not the best ones I agree.. they need a special play style IMO.. you have to act like an obnoxious annoying little school girls... you cant stop being careful, because you are the most dangerous torp boat in the game (yugo and shima) people will try to throw friendly BB on you If they can when you spotted. In high tiers, you cant rush in cap, you almost never can go in gun fights. You have to know all the details of the radar ships, which one? range? duration? reload? all the hydros.. etc etc.. If you see CV in a battle.. wait for the planes spotted.. in summary.. you cant play aggressive in IJN DDs.. you cant.. in the current high tier meta.. no.. Because there will be a radar cruiser behind that island yes.. there will be enemy drop bombers just you were closing to enemy backward sailing BB.. yes there will be a DD which will radar you.. (I am looking at you YUENYANG!) Or there will be a scary Khaba... A DD on steroids.. Never alone... Never far away from your team never far away from concealment never be too brave Be an arsehole... find a safe spot in between your team and caps.. run in circles... torp accordingly.. I am still learning the shima.. but this worked for me and my teams perfectly.. If you look at my yugo...

On a totally offtopic matter.. It doesnt matter how many times I've seen it, the gif in your signature makes me giggle everytime. and I keep watching it for at least 3 to 5 loops.. that thing is hilarious!

RAPPOOART!! HAAXXX!! I want one too :( but not enough Fxp)

Last night in my bushmark I ate a full salvo from a colorado. I think only 1 shell missed me. I ate them mid ship broad side. When I saw the salvo coming towards me with in that grouping, I said to myself... "Oh fudge!!" He though he must be blessed by the RNGesus.. after the hit. !!!??? what?? only 1 overpen??? really...??? Accused of hax! :) serB works in mysterious ways.

I disagree :) we were in a 3x shima toon yesterday all loaded with 20km torps held the enemy lemming train quite nicely :) and it was hilarious.. the reaction from the enemy team was priceless a coordinated play from 3 shimas... at some point the enemy DM said, "Feck it, it doesnt worth the stress!" and he bailed!

You are missing a very big point here. You cannot have selective MM (based on player skill) in a game where there is no re-spawn and %25 RNG.. It basically cannot work as you imagined... There are a lot of issues with the SBMM people discussed it to death since history of WG. You can read it here.. or do better go to WOT forums and look for SBMM topics. It is basically the same arguments and counter arguments. But Bottom line, you cannot balance teams where you dont put dead people back in. Because the perfect balance you established at the start will be broken with a first death (a DD detonation with the first shell for example, or a disconnection, or a Friendly torp at the start, or a "I dont like +2mm I am going AFK" bitches..) and the battle will probably be a snowball into an end from there..

for tier 8, when you play above average, you can have a positive average to keep you going but nothing to collect money to buy ships. On tiers 9 and 10 you generally have a negative income average If you are not a unicum! This is the way it is.. Either you F2P then you have to go back to middle tiers and make it populated for the newcomers and keep the game alive, or you pay for a prem ship to finance your high tier plays, or you buy premium acc to have a positive income on tiers 9 and 10.. hence you keep the game alive. Its your choice.. somehow you have to help WG to keep the game alive.

I think I figured out what op means "AROUND THE CORNER" Check this out

Dear OP, you are trying to shape an opinion without having the knowledge to shape it corretly. That is your mistake. You need to learn the detection and concealment mechanics first. Then you need to learn how to play BBs a little bit. Then you need to play DD lines... and see, concealment is may be one and only weapon for some DDs. And no it is not OP You dont know how to counter it or play it doesnt make it OP, It only makes you a GitGud case. Sorry about that. you are not talking about the shima's detectabilitry right? If so.. I want to know :) I only could push her down to 5.9 :)

dear OP would you please give more details about the hack you think of?? I need more date to make fun of you!

Fletcher is a one pesky ship I avoid in my yugo.. and shima.. But you cant be a better torp boat than yugo.. or even Kage... But yes... fletcher is a ship must be avoided at all costs in an equal tier IJN DD

remove the captains of the ships you dont want to play for a while.. and pick "only show ships with captains" option from the filters..

NO! NOO! One is an aircraft carrier.. Bidbadass ship!! boom! I know from movies!!! other one is a nimble cruiser.. I dont believe.. STOP USING FACTS AND PROOF...!!! YOU CANT CHANGE MY MIND!!! LALALALALALALA! I am not listening! LALALALALALA!!!

hard to believe because a carrier MUST BE bigger than a cruiser??? you know that the first carriers has been converted from other ships, just putting decks on them... just look at these images.. one is a cargo ship with a length of 399m the other one is USS nimitz (a modern carrier) with a length of 332m which one do you think is easier to spot.. PS: I gave modern examples to make it simpler..

Basically it is anothar SBMM or selective MM whining thread. what needs to be said to people for them to understand any kind of selective MM will never ever work with a game with no fuuucckking respawn mechanic!!???

I made quotes from you OP, I've even wrote answers to contribute into discussion. Noone had ever seen me put stats into discussion.. neither here nor in WOT. Then before I post it.. I decided to look how much BB and DD play you did.. Then I deleted it.. It is absolutely clear that you have nooo idea about the game at all.. nada! .. zilch..! nothing..!! You are talking about BBs in game with max tier 3 US Dreadnaught in your experience. You dont have a single... SINGLE... ONE... UNO... game in a destroyer, and you want them to be NERFED like nothing nerfed before in the history of gaming. And you are trying to put this under the name of "Realism"... and oh my god.. really... look at this.. this is your fiji.. one of the best cruisers in tier 7 people says... just look at your numbers.. I really want to emphasise it again.. you really dont know anything about this game.. I am a bad player.. but you make me look like OMNI material.. thanks for that.. so It is understandable you are having problems with DDs torping you... Just try to learn a little bit.. and stick to the tier 1 - 2 before even trying to form an opinion about "How to make this game better"

I've seen @krazypenguin last night in his FurryTaco.. I was in my NewMex.. As you can imagine, taco and mex goes well together. But the taco was on the red team. I didn't understan how in the hell we lost that game. we had 2 caps, 1 ship advantage at some point and the enemy team had a severe case of lemmings train! Anyway, penguin tried to fill my mexican boat with fish to use in my tacos but they juiced off just 100m short, he was angry because of a 8K overpen I gave him just seconds before. so in the end, they had the mid cap, I was dealing with a Fuso and a Nürnberg. Sent nürnberg to sleep with the fishes, but volia!! This time fish from taco found its place and I started to take water from my arse! Good win for them.. Epic fail for us..

Yes darling, I believe your drawing only lasts 3 or 5 seconds on the minimap. I am not sure. But If you are quick enough with your donging skills, you can draw even a donkey dong... :)
