Proposal: Simple and elegant solution for better fairness in "Ranked Battles"...
JapLance replied to Leo_Apollo11's topic in General Discussion
I like it. I'd take whatever to remove the "lottery players" that launch battles one after the other just to get through ranks, or the ones that use bots to get the same effect. And I like the idea of not losing your hard-earned stars if you did well in a bad team. -
Nuernburg is a joke. Heck everything in the German tree suffers. Everything.
JapLance replied to ApesTogetherStronK's topic in Cruisers
In all my Japanese cruiser career I can almost say for certain that I have only been citadeled once (with Myoko) without exposing my broadside. Can happen to them, but certainly it's not as frequent. If my ship is citadeled by a BB with me having made no mistakes I don't give a damn about general stats. My game is ruined. If it happens once it's OK, bad luck. but if it's something that happens time and time again it's obviously broken. I would have no problem in having ROF reduced or dispersion slightly increased. But they need to fix that. -

JapLance replied to ApesTogetherStronK's topic in Cruisers
The question is that certain German cruisers (I can confirm Konigsberg and Nurnberg) are citadeled WITHOUT showing their broadside. -
Please somebody start working in a PROPER camo and not a stupid colourful Xmas pattern

And don't forget that after firing your guns (as you seem to have done against the Cleveland), you stay detected for a while (20 seconds I think, but not sure) even if nobody is already in your detection range.

Wyoming is causing me to lose the will to live
JapLance replied to Admiral_H_Nelson's topic in Battleships
I remember my first games with Wyoming as a nightmare, but not for the ship itself, but for the terrible teams. Cruisers and DDs tend to rush ahead and die before you can even make your guns sing (let alone hit something) and then you have to face alone the enemy cruisers with those rapidfire HE shooters and the destroyers with its dangerous torpedoes. The "good point" is that the rest of US Battleships up to Colorado in tier 7 are similar (but with increasingly better guns, with tier 6 New Mexico being probably the cream of the crop, and better team mates as you progress the tiers) so you learn a lot with the previous ships. Consider it as the start of your learning process. -
Yeah, In case they would put it back in the store (with a nice amount of doubloons, premium time, flags etc for "only" 30-40€) I wouldn't recommend it at all. It was advertised as a tier 4 AA ship, and carrier players now have a laugh when they see it (with the exception being the only charge of extra AA). Every shot damages rudder or engines. With only 4 guns in 2 turrets, one shot can (and will) destroy half of your firepower. The torpedo tubes are almost useless unless you want to die even faster by showing your full broadside to the enemy to launch them... It was reasonably decent in CBT (it really used to shoot down planes and wasn't dead on the water every 2 minutes) but not anymore. Don't buy it if it is ever in the shop again. Not even for 10€.

That there are 20K players in the peak time doesn't mean it's the same total amount of players. Many won't be playing that day, and many others will have played at different times. IMO, 20k Tirpitzes in whole EU server is not too many.

Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V: I don't need more gold, I don't want Premium time. You can keep your ship game for yourself, WG.

Should WoWS start charging a monthly fee?
JapLance replied to Antony1953's topic in General Discussion
Hmmmm being free as it is now, I have it installed in my computer but I don't play it due to lack of interest. But a new nation, or a new mode may relive my interest. Set a monthly fee and... you know what will happen. -
Well, they offend EU players with every step they take, so I don't think they'll behave differently if they can smell the money.
-
I can't remember if ROF was actually buffed to current levels or if it was already the actual one, but my impressions about Aoba changed before CBT was finished. When the game went open I was preferring it over Cleveland, and now I simply don't play Cleveland, while I did most of my early ranked battles this season in Aoba.

Question about the confederate time reward
JapLance replied to _GrimLock__'s topic in General Discussion
No, you got 10 flags,and that's all you will get for last night confederate medals. Today you can get 10 more if you earn a new confederate medal. But max is 10 per day. -
For less money than the Mikasa bundle costs I can buy the full Star Wars X-Wing saga (all four titles) on Steam. Four top-notch games, with no strange bugs, without team-killers or potato players. Hard decision to take, eh?

0.8.4 We want lower repair costs too!
JapLance replied to Trigger_Happy_Dad's topic in General Discussion
Not only that. I'm convinced that they're killing WoWs on purpose. It probably didn't meet their expectations when it went open, and they're doing their best to kill it without players noticing it too clearly, so it doesn't impact their flagship WoT. -
Yes, we can now buy this pile of crap that they don't even dare to sell in RU server the victor of Tsushima for a mere 20€

Battle of Tassafaronga - another awful special event
JapLance replied to Sanjuro_UK's topic in General Discussion
No US cruisers to grind (stopped at Cleveland), no Japanese captains to train (stopped at Minekaze). No stressful weekend -
Your grandma told you you're a funny boy, didn't she?

WOW It's the only word that comes to my head. When you think they can't get any lower, they surprise you with another well-thought marketing move.
-
I didn't want to make a personal attack, but yes, his stats are really poor to be in rank 7, as it shows currently. It's a clear example of climbing through spamming battles.
-
Played a ranked battle where we had a pleasant victory, get the screen where it confirms that I have made it into the 8th rank, close the screen , press to battle on and I'm in rank 9 again and the last star of rank 9 has disappeared. And no, I haven't lost any other battle that I left unfinished. My three games this afternoon have been victories.
-
What really surprises me is that you say you reached rank 5... with a 46% win ratio.

why dose a DD's have more range than my alanta?
JapLance replied to jellopie's topic in General Discussion
Oh, then you're going to love the German DDs with 15cm guns when they arrive -
With King-Kongo you can support your own cruisers without the danger that when they turn around at the first sight of enemy you are left alone. This is something I hate when playing US BBs in these tiers, and happens often.

Regarding Ranked Battles from an 'ok' players perspective
JapLance replied to OldGrandad's topic in General Discussion
My experience: I have two different accounts that I play, and I'm trying ranked battles at both. As I played the pilot season, I started in Ranks 17 and 12 (I think). The road to Rank 10 was pretty fast, specially with my alternative account, that started so much higher. But at rank 10 is when things get much worse,and watched things that I didn't expect with players that have tier 7-8 ships. Not only they played terribly bad, but often they also think they are good and the rest is doing things wrong. A match comes to mind in Ocean (everybody's favourite map) where, after capturing one of the bases, our cruisers and destroyers rushed to the other base leaving BBs behind in a DD-infested battle. I spent the next minutes dodging torpedoes from invisible destroyers, and one of the cruisers still had the cheeky face to say in chat that BBs were losing the battle by doing nothing. These 2-3 past days seem to have been terrible for me. Today I have found better players, or at least lesser number of bad ones, and that reflects in the ranks, got all stars from rank 9 and a couple from rank 8 in my alternative account. and played 2 games with my main account and they were both victories, so I'm in rank 9 again.
