Euh. AFAIK a tool that "predicts" winning chances doesn't exist for this game.

Recently I played for max +-5 games in a row, no problems. Did around 8 yesterday, and also suddenly had the fps/stutter problem happening. I'm quite sure the worst of it happened when there were torps in the water.

I play cruiser more than anything else, you know ;) So calling "you" an idiot, might be ironic. Although it would be less ironic if I said it as respons to this

Well, for me the reasons not to continue playing dds from 5-7 once I unlocked the higher tiers, are - the risk on bad matchmaking, as I said above. besides inherent advantages (better health, better firepower/torps), the higher tiers have way better concealment (in essence, why would I play a mid tier dd when I have a higher and better tier dd of that same line?) - too much carriers, which mainly is bad for that risk of me getting the saipan that has played 40 battles in total versus the good or better kaga (or whatever) - too much belfast edit: - too much standard battles!!! (<< this one is huge for me, can't believe I forgot about it) I would be curious to know if other people have other reasons that those too. But if you meet 0 or 1 dds on these tiers all day, plz lemme know, I might take out my shino :P

I don't understand this comment. part 1. 5 bbs per team is a given in 95% of the games, for a long while now. (I played since autumn 16, never knew anything else) part 2. For BOTH the types of ships you started this thread for, your description (most cruisers except 0-1 dd) is pure heaven. For a cruiser all those enemy cruisers are very good targets, while few dds means you won't be spotted too soon/too much. For a DD it means there is none or only that one enemy dd that can spot you, so you can do all the fun dd stuff in peace. Or am I misunderstanding smt? Where's the issue?

Really? That's impressive. I have another solo account too (NA), went to mahan with around 65% in farragut. It indeed is a very strong boat, but it sees tier 8 quite regularly, and that concealment difference (no module) is huge. Also, it is in typical belfast matchmaking tiers. How did you get that high? Nice though. --- Concerning topic. Limiting myself to t5-7 - t22 will be a turd forever in my opinion. I barely had any freexp on that account, but I spent it all to bypass that PoS after a handful games. - I don't think minekaze/mutsuki are decent. A lot has to do with their matchmaking and quite a lot of cv, but even then, bleh. Besides those I don't seem to recall any as particularly underpowered. There will probably be some nerds here to defend my list of dds from hell above Furutaka is a turd. Yea, good torp arcs. Yea, sometimes you can shoot AP on those idiots that still play cruiser. Still... I never played Emerald myself, but people have certain feelings about it York feels extremely underpowered after (re)discovering the monster that is Nurnberg. === Most of the ships in tier 5/6 just hurt from matchmaking. On NA there is an extreme amount of missouri spam, which drags tier 7 a lot into the joy of +2 mm too. I had a lot of Mahan and Yorck in tier 9, not a fan...

Oh come on, give the guy a break. Those aren't literal synonyms, as in totally interchangeable, but more as #semantically overlapping#. (And they should really stop calling it synonyms) Given that list and example, compare e.g. To his shock, she left him, vs To his surprise, she left him, vs To his fear, she left him He was upset, not surprised

Green team should die of shame if they lose that, unless time is nearly up.

Unholy mother of Trump! That's almost €400 on doubloons you have there.

SubOctavian told us (Yea I know, don't believe anything he says...)

Hope it will comfort you, but The expanse is excellent

You forgot, somewhere this year we would be seeing fix of BB AP on DD...

Could it be related to guns not firing when leftclick? I've been having that a lot lately.

Don't understand the comment. It smells fishy though. Anyway, Algerian doesn't exist.

Exactly. I just saw the notice, but luckily I don't need to respond to those outragious claims myself. I think he needs the seal for the entire statement tbh.

Because those ships are actually quite balanced?

No sh1t Sherlock. Why not just go triple belfast? You know, for balance...

The tests (and nothing more than that) caused an enormous upheaval with the bbabies, so the idea was (of course) immediately thrown away. I'd like it to be in the game as well. There is nothing but bowcampers anymore sometimes it seems. I've even seen bbs that have no benefit at all doing that, bowreversing, such as nagato, friedrich, etc. (not to mention I even see idiots in cruisers trying it in things like schors or hinden... like wtf)

No Plural = Tirpitzes, so possessive is Tirpitzes' or just, "the AA of the Tirpitz"? ;)

Also notable: red BBs have taken their brave pills...

Both are allowed, but if I'm not mistaken, these days one would prefer to add the " 's " because it conforms to the pronunciation [tirpitzes]

Yes, they do it because they want to be truthful to history. Good to know.

Aoba is a great ship. What don't you like? Hipper bow protects against German tier 8 bbs, true. But trust me, tier 8 ships won't be your problem...

While I dislike Yorck as well, I still prefer it to hipper. At least Yorck has very workable HE.

Are you kidding me? I'm doing the german cruisers on my NA account, and the nurnberg is borderline overpowered with the 1/4 pen and 360° turrets. (if you need "hard facts", my username there is PzPz_EU) If you're asking for speed, imho you're doing something wrong to begin with, i.e. fighting in the open, especially given the matchmaking it sees. Search nice and cosy island until most of reds (at least bbs) are dead, don't need speed for that. I'm at hipper now, and if there is a ship that urgently needs a buff, it's exactly that. Constantly tier 10 on [edited] maps, with [edited] DPM, extremely situational AP and laughable HE.
