If I've understood this correctly, there will be Kitakami torpedoes going each way....

Gamewise, I have sometimes theorized that the effective/optimal range would be the zone between your concealment and maximum range. This may also be why I hide my stats....

Hope he at least has the decency to play them poorly!

The Canticle for Bayern?

Well, that seems to make sense if it is a zero sum game. While sometimes you may lose because of some individual player, the same is rarely true in the opposite case. Winning most often requires the actions of more than one good player, and this is where those divisions come into play (no pun intended).

I'm wondering. How much do the red stats have to with bad knowledge of the game mechanics and how much do they have to do with bad knowledge of team mechanics (tactics and communication).

So... the reason why it happens a lot more lately is because the teams are.. shall we say.. behaving in a less 'predictable' way than before...

Judging by your tone, I take it you see them on your team. Others will consider them floating pinatas...

That was a classic case of miscommunication there, mate. @Excavatus was doing his job as a moderator, and AFAIK he usually makes pretty good calls on the forums. We've already seen what kind of flak you been getting. On topic, I still get slightly surprised when this happens. More so if it happens early but I know of the rule so I know why it happens. When it happens at the very end of the battle, I don't get that surprised but I do get annoyed a bit because the game usually ends just one second or so before my devastating salvo hits the enemy or my torps reach him. Otherwise, I have created the same kind of 'mystery threads' on the forum myself and gotten pretty nice (considering..) responses, then I have quickly 'ed.

I'm experimenting with the fixed FPS. I tried the setting 48 FPS to see how well the game would run on that. It runs.. but not well at all. FPS now keeps dropping and fluctuating below the set 48. I have to see how it will behave with the default 75. I assume it won't reach 75. The ping seems to fluctuate as well. No spikes exactly, as far as I've been able to see, but not exactly stable either.

Beat me to it.

Scroll down for those you have.

The Iron Cross fetishists strike again!

Yes, it happens more often when you are at very high end of the points. It is mildly surprising then, but you don't usually stop to think about it. When it happens early on, it kinda feels like some kind of a game failure.

TBH, Pommern has an advantage in terms of cost of other German premium BB choices being available for coal. Considering that the closest alternative is Tirpitz, and it costs real money, Pommern is a good choice for those not wanting to spend money or doubloons and needing a high tier German BB. True, it does not fit a similar playstyle as Georgia or some others.

Yes don't do that.

I noticed an older thread with you and Tuccy posting in it, related to patch 7.2. Based on that, the rule is older but for some reason people haven't really noticed it before, as such. https://forum.worldofwarships.eu/topic/98220-games-ending-too-quickly-mercy-rule/ I also spotted elsewhere something slightly controversial; when battles end early due to the Mercy rule, it robs you of your chance to fully make use of your camos and flags in terms of lost damage farming potential.

Whenever I'm playing BB's, my signature move is to troll the opposing team with my broadside. Bonus, gives me nice quick battles.

I tried to google for an answer when did WG introduce this Mercy rule of theirs, but couldn't find an answer. Judging by one discussion on Reddit, people are often still taken by surprise when the battle ends due to it.

Speaking from personal experience, trying to stick in like that for the missions, will give you many defeats.

I think this is the so called 'Mercy rule'.

Curiouser and curiouser.

Correct. Losing 13 out of every 12 battles or so loses it charm sooner or later.
