We can just sum up this thread as bad player doesn't understand game mechanics. And close it before they embarrass themselves any further.

You can tell by the consistency of a player over 1000's of games. WR and other factors after 1000 games such as Kill Death and to an extent PR (though PR can be HEAVILY skewed) show a players worth. Of of the things I've found is between my three accounts on EU and NA. That I'm consistent, even taking k to account the 1000's of games played when I was new and a full blown potato. I'm happy to use mine as an example. The 1st (EU) and 2nd (main NA) show that while my EU doesn't look as impressive, my EU also factors all my learning games. But it does match a lot of the same numbers as my more recent NA account, showing the consistency. The 3rd is a an almost pure solo account I made as a personal challenge. That also highlights how stats can be interpreted with or without context. EU NA 1 NA 2

To be honest I don't think you ever stop learning and improving of you're willing to put effort in. The game and meta is always changing in many ways. Either adding or taking away something or adjusting in game mechanics. I can now comfortably sit on a 70% WR solo in DD's, as I have been doing on NA. However I haven't stopped trying to progress further. I still potato like the best of them. I still have many other lines and classes to achieve top results in. I've never really taken high level competitive seriously, but now? I want to get involved in my NA clans future attempts at becoming KotS champions and consistent clan season winning contenders. The game is what you make of it.

The long and short is this will only affect bad CV players. Numbers will then drop and they will in turn then get a buff of some sorts as WG can't and won't let the rework be seen as a failure. Simple really.

I swear the games I get in this ship but are still lost games is giving me heartbreak....

No. Just another BB buff isn't otherwise.

You said it's unplayable. We've simply and easily shown you it is. Not our problem you didn't like the answer.

Yeah, She's a REAL struggle theses days......

Start a new session with this. End with this beauty of a carry https://replayswows.com/replay/128440#stats

I'm about to regrind it....again.... Already Adored the old version so this new version should be even more of a pleasure.

Stats are not the be all and end all when you don't have the full pictures which I don't consider anyone's fault when they look into mine as I don't really play on EU much at the moment so the stats your seeing are stale. I haven't really played the German line since they came out on my EU acc. And now it's a VERY different meta. I'm on NA under both Pay_Your_Torpedo_Tax and Vasili_One_Bonk_Only. And I've grinded or am grinding through them in the current meta and we'll, you can see the personal improvement if you wish to. I never said your a potato. And didn't mean it to come across so bluntly like that so I will hold my hands up an apologise. But even the best of us misplay. God knows I still do. But that situation (a single event only) sounds very much like that. You talk about Daring DPM, but the Z-52 has the better hydro and due to longer smoke can easily trap a Daring into a death sentence. I know, because I've done it to Daring and many others. It's a trait that all the German DD's can do. (Classic line and Prems that is). And as I have and others have stated. Daring is probably too strong. It will probably get a nerf at some point like Jutland did (which was also too strong). Creeping smoke will make it to strong. you'll see that when Vampire 2 comes out. That DD will be ridiculous. Just look at what a Paulo can do. (Another broken DD).

The Royal Navy line play very different to the German line. And just because Daring has it and is almost too strong doesn't mean every other DD should have it. And that's a you issue for the record. Misplaying doesn't make the ship you are in bad.

The current line of German DD' are very solid and already excel at killing other DD's. Lets not make them even more oppressive. Again. They are already strong in that area. That added heal would just make them another broken line.

I just feel at one with the ship. And I murder my own with it. Sooooo many DD kills. So many.... Across all 3 accounts I now have. I just find it a very good DD. And people who aim German DD's are inferior are not worth seeking advice in DD's as far as I'm concerned.

Finished grinding Maass again on NA. And realised how scarily consistent I am....

Think I'm going to have to take out my Fujin and Kami this weekend.

What do I call another DD without SE? My next victim.

That's me and it's totally normal for me to do this. Honestly. Prepare to be amazed. It's become a running joke in my clan. Here's a few screen shots from the last couple of nights. Just look where I am and the time stamps. You can only do so much for your 11 team mates. They have to take responsibility to pay attention to the game and map. If you are spotting and aggroing the red team, you are doing your job. I have developed a refined aggressive approach and can smell a gap to exploit (hence the above replays and screen shots). It's the way I play, and always have. I have 1000's of DD games behind me so it's just become organic and natural for me to do so. In Kag and Yugumo as they play the same. Exploit the weak flanks. Draw ships away from your team. Make them constantly worry about torp threats. If they come for you. Make it take ages for them to finally pin you and do as much damage on the way. If a gap isn't possible. Block channels or access and deny areas and caps.

https://replayswows.com/replay/113890#stats Kagero with it's stealth and TRB is a threat at any given time. Set up for the basic skills and and then invest in torps as well as torp focused modules. RPF is optional but more info is always a bonus. You can easily kite flanks and slam torps into the side of mobs of ships. If you are on a heavy flank, it's a great DD to kite in, that's when it's guns are good as they hit hard and have decent kiting angles. Don't fear scouting caps early. Back into the caps and if you have to leave it's VERY nimble and small. So it's easy to juke shots even when radar'd. Smoke is meh, it's short ish IJN smoke and if anything often only gives to quick cover if a CV attacks. TRB however offers the option/opportunity to nuke ships and turn games. I mean, if the CV is good smoke won't make a difference so go for the damage dealing option. I've just recently ground it solo on NA and I think my credentials speak for themselves.
