There is a whole topic about the tirpitz on the first page mate. And yes, its probably the best ship to earn credits, unless you are a total scrub

I had quite big laggs in port as well.

Ah damn, I thought its only the Kiev that is getting nerfed so I sold it because I though Tashkent would be a much better choice for next ranked season. Didn't buy it yet tho.

Got 20 mil, a bit more than I expected Time to buy that long time ago researched Ibuki and probably Tashkent

Well damn then, I should have just kept my mods on then (including the historical flag mod), and get the compensation for doing it... At least now I know that I will check the rules 5 times, so at least I can have a guaranteed prize (compensation) in every competition

There are currently no missions for US cruisers, but for US battleships. Killing 50 (or 60?) aircraft isn't too hard over a course of certain amount of battles, especially on tier 5 and 6 where you get quite good AA on US battleships and where people still play CVs. I agree on the second part, maybe it would have been better if they gave us missions for all classes at once and a longer span of time to complete them, instead of having one class infestation in MM.

True, but sometimes teamplay like that is quite hard, especially in randoms and when playing solo. When I'm playing a BB I just cant stand sniping from 20km+ away so whats the point of sticking to BBs like that? You do more harm than good to your team like that, and that is what, unfortunately, most of BBs do in randoms.

The main difference is that a smart CA can stay away from the BB, while a BB cannot stay away from a CV, especially not with the 22 sec rudder shift time against 150 or something knot planes. Even with ctrl click on Midway planes I hardly manage to kill any before they drop, even if I do, its impossible to kill even half of those 24 planes (at least) that are coming towards you, on time.

True, although those BB shells are much easier to avoid when staying at longer ranges (at least for me) while a BB, has "enemies" in CVs, DDs and pesky cruisers like Zao that make me want to throw my laptop through the window by all those fires and sometimes massive damages and it can be much harder to avoid planes and Zao shells for a BB. And yes, Midway can kill a Montana in one run, been there, done that (on me). Bombers up to 15k and then 12 torps that somehow almost always deal max damage to it. In best case I will be left with 10-20k hp with 4 fires and flooding.

You sure its not e-sexsexes?

What bothers me is that someone got compensated for violating the contest rules, which just doesn't make sense in my head. WG stated numerous times that those flags are FORBIDDEN. What kind of message does this send? Enter a contest, break a rule and you get something for that??

Not saying anything is wrong there, but most of players there are new and still learning a lot and it is nice that they learned teamplay wins, from the start Sometimes, when you got torps like that, the best thing to do is to slow down and let them pass you

I think its about players wanting some good teamwork, nice to see players willing to do that ,even on lower tiers

In most of times those kinda actions (to turn your back towards planes) require showing broadside to multiple opponents, so even an approaching CV (planes) can basically kill a BB. People always expect BBs to push/deal massive damage/tank all the damage/ but that is almost impossible with all the threats in DDs and high tier CVs like Essex and Midway.

That is why I said just Essex and Midway. Hakuryu and Taiho are not able to do that it seems, but they can inflict substantial damage, which is why I prefer playing against them in any ship, especially BB.

EDIT: Never mind, I don't wanna be a drama queen here. Enjoy your spoils, those who didn't respect the rules and still got something...

Then you haven't met many Midways and Essexes (damn, that this is hard to pronounce ). They got really fast planes and even the best BB captain will struggle to avoid their drops if the CV captain is good, and they can kill most of BBs (or just wound them to less than 10k HP) in 1 run, with just TBs, not to mention bombers...

I'd wish we had more CVs (Taiho, Hakuryu) that cannot kill me in 1 run but make me think of my next move and inflicting enough damage so I have to back up sometimes, instead of just killing me in 1 run (Essex, Midway). Also more carriers would probably bring the infestations of Shimakazes to and end, which is just ridiculous and not good for high tier gameplay because I've seen some of them take up to 2 CAs and a DD in just 1 spread, and not to mention what they do to BBs...

Barely?? Are you drunk??? Even in Montana, which has really good AA I cannot kill almost any of his planes while they are coming towards me and dropping those 12 torps of doom, If I'm lucky I will kill 2-3 of them. Normally all the plane kills I get are when his planes are going back to his ship (which actually helps him because he can rearm them faster). Same thing goes for Essex. It is almost impossible for a BB to avoid incoming planes from Midway or Essex (unless the CV captain is a complete scrub, which is rare for those ships) due to the rudder shift time which is getting a nerf now. A good Essex or Midway captain will rule and kill any ship he wants and in most cases their first targets are BBs (which they can kill in 1, or 2 runs).

So 745 battles are enough to be statistically significant, but 653 battles aren't? "Capping and spotting have no relevance in winning games" - Every person with even a bit of brain will tell you it does matter A LOT. Go back to your cave troll.

Since the thing with Ducat has been solved, I guess some people need to find a new thing to cry about...

If you cannot do well or damage a T6/T7 in your T5 ship, then you are playing it wrong

Of course the current ranked system is flawed. It is bad that good play isn't rewarded if you get 6 teletubbies in your team or that the bad play is rewarded if you get a couple of good players in your team. But it has been discussed many times so I think you should better use search next time

If you just look at the minimap, or around you , you can see if someone is afk or not, so I do not see the point of additional marks on them.

There was a break, cant remember for how long (a few weeks probably) but there was one.
