    Can we have quickscoping with 420 memes pls? and obligatory 'i did things to your mammy somewhere sometime' comment everytime you win. or this when you lose a match. Although conveh mode will have respawns so you can enjoy a lite version of warthunder i guess.

    premiums in need of a rework or buff ?

    in other news the world of tanks devs thought it would be a good idea to have dogtags in the game that flash up in front of your face everytime you die. Kinda how it was awhile ago. love how they fail to pass on the most basic details and feedback nevermind anything else. krispy doughtnut needs dat love doe.

    Krispeh kreme, because stalin will not be pleased to find smoll soviet ship underpowered Although some of the more lackluster ones could be improved, prinz ewbean, miss hoodings and blyska. (mind you so could the krispeh as well i guess).

    Good DD players - Asashio - yes or no?

    Well stats in the umikaze are solid after 16 games. poor mutsuki doe... Also poi might be worse or as bad as the asashio in most regards too be honest unless they actually buff her. @Raganaxi would focus on lower tier ships first and go up the usn DD line to learn how to play DD's better probs get like 50 games in a few tier 2 and 3 ships then move on to tier 4 and 5, that way you will get a solid understanding of how the game works.

    The mind-set of the 40-percenter

    Yeah, i bumbled from 45-46% after 2,5k games roughly. Back in 2013 and 2014 in-game sources were pretty bad and didn't teach much about the game, also lack of insentives as well. Although when i played i still wanted to help teammates (even if i was more of a hinderance than a useful tool, ally, friend etc.) and also my refusal to use gold ammo back then didnt help either. I had one game before that in my T-34-2 on malinovka where i complained about the terrible grind for the T-34-2 (still is) and someone in the WZ-120 (yellow player) berrated me but i called him out as being average (wasnt aware of xvm) and he mentioned i was using it. ignored him after that but once that second game in ruinberg (got the 100mm finally) i had a somewhat long chat with the enemy superpersh (our team won and he was a 54% winrate player) and told me all about that. helping teammates and seeing improvements made me want to improve (plus it helped pass some grinds faster), i also thought it was great going up the harder lines of world of tanks instead of the more noob friendly tanks (121 being my first tier 10 winrate is kinda f'ed on that even if my gameplay has improved dramatically). 53% is gud doe better than me, might reinstall it and play to 20k games (maybe).

    The mind-set of the 40-percenter

    Well as a former 45% winrate player in world of tanks (now 52% after 19k games and 55% in this game after 2k games) i mostly just spammed battle and drove my tank around shooting at things. Yes i was so brain dead that i remember on particular match where i was in my KV-1 on erlenberg back in 2013 and fired maybe 4 shots and then died right in the middle. I also had it zoomed out all the way for some reason. I also was stuck when a certain zoom function when i got back, once in my arl 44. I never considered getting better untill i (somehow judged correctly) to pull back from this superpersh and kill him in a 1-on-1 duel in my T-34-2 on ruinberg. He mention my winrate and xvm and i checked both things, then i found out i was terrible and was rushing up the tiers, so i decided to take things more slowly after that before i got comfortable. I was never aware of the mechanics in depth, angling, how important map control was etc. untill well that moment. Oddly enough it gave me more of insentive to play the game along with gnomefathers and had the balance on world of tanks stayed relatively decent i would of most likely have 40k+ games by now. but yeah everything i learnt was outside of world of tanks itself, the wiki, jingles (when he actually bothered to do tank reviews and offer decent tips), quickybaby and sirfoch. makes me wonder how many peeps would be suprised to see me as 45%'er lol.

    https://crappygames.miraheze.org/wiki/Steel_Ocean maybe this is what wargaming is aiming for. imagine bb's being able to stop instantly and turn on a dime to avoid torpedos. lmao.

    Tier 9 sucks ?

    yeah it reminds me of world of tanks tier 9 around 2015-2016 played the E75 a lot also enjoyed the AMX 50 120 (despite people whinging about the 3.33 sec reload per shot in a 4 clip drum) plis WZ-120. think for me tier 5, 6 and 9 are my fav tiers, 7 is ok might play miss algerie again and learn how to torp things in maasss. 4 well i only like wyoming, isokaze, hoshhhooo and dugary. 8 well charles martel is the only ship i like there but find myself playing JB and georgia more often. @Bear_Necessities dat was quick lmao.
  12. CptBarney

    What Premium Ship do you recommend?

    Georgia is a solid ship doe. but you can't charge in with her she plays more like a flanker, ambusher, island hopper, support BB. mostly around mid-late game can you start actually brawling, kiting away also works as well (too some degree), also try not to turn in front of loads of ships if there are island nearby try and seek the cover of them and avoid DD's like teh plague, she has quite a weak torp belt and doesn't take torps well at all. i only have 800-900 odd more games than you so it should be fine but i would suggest playing a bit around tiers 6-8 to get used some of the moar beefier mechanics dat come into play later on. and remember to have yer toineh green tea miss @Admiral_Charlotte -'w'/

    Tier 9 sucks ?

    ummm... if you read his comment closely... doesn't it remind you of someone? @Taliesn looks familiar doesn it? @El2aZeR what do you think? also wat do peeps think of miss saint louis hmm? a bit chonky but i havent gotten a 15pt (nevermind 19pt) cap on her, more or less wondering how i should the play the ship in the first 5 mins of the game (top tier or not).

    Basically, He also didn't seem that interested in giving wargaming a good rant about the first iteration of NTC (not that it's still a stupid thing but whatever). Also reminds me of nozoups video today, complaining about people who want the game to fail lists 3 groups of people (leaving another 2) and then contridicts himself at the 3:40-4:00 min mark because reasons. Also saw quite a few 'i pLAy fOr fuN!!11' peeps in deh comment section, the same people that el2azer luvs (lmao) whinging about the whinging and those who provide constructive critism only for it too be ignored. I dont want the game to fail. But too be honest i can understand why people do, even that really good carrier player basically got shot down by wargaming with terrible one line answers to his great suggestions for RTS cv improvements. half the time it seems like the CC's themselves dont even care.
  15. Dunno, the italian cruisers seem like giant citadels too be honest even more so than your usual cruiser. I guess the tier 10 has noticable armour but in general they seem very lackluster.

    Best range to position Yamato at?

    Mind you if the player who focuses is bad then it doesn't really matter too be honest, only idiots focus one ship for anyother reason to kill it and get rid of it asap (so that it can't influence the match later on via whatever means). People do this in world of tanks, but most of the time it backfires spectacularly, and most tried to do it in arty but would end up clicking one tank while the other 14 tanks (who may not even be bad players themselves) can just rekt their team.

    Tips, hints on how to improve as a DD player

    every player over 55% winrate reaction... Either way some great advice for me to nick and utilise myself. thonks ladz.

    Did WG secretly "buff" smoke concealed ships?

    reminds me of the shells through island or torps through island bugs where sometimes shells and torps (very rarely) will pass through islands. like in world of tanks where shells sometimes didnt render or tracers didn't render it's mostly because of the old engine they are using which is bugworld (bigworld).

    wait they are changing how the F-key works now? back in 0.8.0 it would grant total immunity regardless when hit F then they changed it (can sort of be abused via leave-boosting).
  21. CptBarney

    What Premium Ship do you recommend?

    BBs= JB and Georgia if you want flankers that can brawl and excel at crossfire tactics. oktober revolution if you want a noice russian BB, maybe miss hood as well. Cruisers = De grasse, slightly better la galissionaire teaches you how to kite basically, alaska for big gunz and bow tanking, yoshi for HE spam and wall of skill, salem for HE spam but you can use AP as well on broadsiding targets. DD's= umm Kidd, cossacks and la fantastique (high skill floor and ceiling mind). CV= Enterprise, Kaga, maybe ark royal.

    Yeah, i hope they do. i remember the old cv's taking out ships was soo easy back then compared to now, you had to dodge still but well, just press f and you would be immune lol. kinda glad i archived ranger and lexi for now. managed to shoot down over 40 planes with georgia in my most recent game today from an enemy saipan another game where i shot down around 40 thanks to the enmy graf zep. not sure why peeps are so interested in georgy and her AA but oh well lol.
