Well, then I think you might have found an untapped market, and you could make your own channel & vids? A suggestion for a name could be "Crack's Safe Space"? Sounds nice.

You mean, e.g., he is showing a vid of let's say a ranked game in a north cal, and makes fun of some random **** in a hipper who sails broad side in front of him for the whole 2 minutes he is in that game, despite him having reached let's say ranked 7 and having played thousands of games? Yea, that really is a deep deep character flaw of flamu. He shouldn't be mocking those guys...

Sure. Show me one, give me a link of a youtube vid that is designed to smack talk just some random players. Just one.

Also, do you even know what you are talking about? In the original video there is no smack talking of other players - afaik, skipped a lot of it. It is just some guy doing some extreme clubbing at t10. If you are talking about that piece of flamuvid, that is just a fragment of a stream. He does not make video's to smack talk as such. Even that piece of stream was more about bb implementation in game than players. While would-be video's that would smack talk other players might be, I quote, "[not contributing] to anything good and [be] very negative", so is spouting of opinions about things you have absolutely no interest of investigating properly. Very 21st century though...

dunno about BB/DD, but for cruisers that is already happening. Not only at tier 8, also tier 5 and 6. I have a NA account, where I am at aoba in ijn cruisers now, and furutaka and aoba are just painful in their mm. I'd say they see +2 in minimum 75% of their games. Ppl above always give bbs (at t8) as examples, why "certain ships can certainly carry" etc, but I'd really like to see how you carry a game in an aoba if half your team is dead, and reds still have 2 bismarcks & a northcal & company running around. (In furutaka it's easier in a certain sense, because forward torps) By which I am not stating they are just cannon fodder, to make that clear, nor that +2 is bad as such, but the balance of being downtier vs uptier could be a hell lot better. But WG and balans...

If you mean beginner, as in it isn't their first battle, when they play a tier 8-10, of course. What I meant, is something you can test for yourself. Next time you are in a tier 10 battle, check the stats of all tier 10 ships. You will see Yamato's with worse wr and even damage than some players in a kohlberg.

You do know that specific vid is just a part of his stream right? He didn't record that specifically. He was probably playing for quite a while, and then some crap happened, as per nambr9's reply. It's just that these pieces get listened out of their context.

In general ppl recommend battleships as smt to start with. Besides that you should really try every class to understand the mindset. I'd recommend "as noob friendly": For BBs: doesn't really matter, all idiot proof these days. In the current borefest of a meta I'd recommend US, because stealth. (Brit BBs have that too, but I don't recommend those out of principle) Cruiser: Russian or Japanese DD: US (CV: IJN) Your pain at tier 5 is justified btw. Starting the game, like you, with cruisers must be pure pain. Starting tier 3, you see the horror of things like orion, starting tier 4 extremely overpowered bs like cesare, and starting tier 5 you'll be uptiered about 80% of the cases. There really isn't smt as "noob friendly" cruisers for someone new to the game I'm afraid... And it isn't smt that WG will change soon. Not AFAIK. @Exocet6951most likely made a (decent) estimate based upon his xp/kills compared to those nitwits.

I agree to disagree.

Standard reason I see for said threads being closed is "non constructive". Well, this one must be constructive, since he proposed 'a solution' to his frustration

Hmm. Every civilized person has a limit though. What you hear there is just flamu reaching his limit. And he is less flaming at bb players than at the implementation of bbs in the game by WG. He has asked WG changes to BB (and other things) in a civilized way many many times, made suggestions, etc. He just gets ignored, cause WG has its own sekrit stats that show everything is working fine. (Conqueror, the removal of citadels, etc) That those ships are being constructed to fulfill the wet dreams of extremely bad players, and are then of course played in such a way, is extremely predictable and infuriating. This is, in my view, just a guy who loses his sh*t because he sees a game he loves so much being ruined in front of his own eyes, after, once again, noticing that that would happen in a polite way more than once. Wows will never be a professional game... And calling it abusive? Meh. A bit explicit maybe ;)

Why close this? Finally we have one of them just being honest, not unlike @MortenTardo's dream of having insight in bismarck/tirpitz players in the other thread. I for my part find it very informative. My first game of the day i had a haku on the team that looked like he never played cv before. Even if I find his opinions horrid (especially the ones about I'm not playing for the team), I applaud his honesty.

And while you wait for them to come here and give a comprehensive answer, might I suggest something to read? https://www.amazon.com/Waiting-Godot-Tragicomedy-Two-Acts/dp/080214442X

Yea, and how is that, you think? Starting from your Essex you are a certified risk of losing when you are on the team, Essex 37 percent wr Midway 32 ffs Aka 68 or superunicum lossrate... You have no right to come complain about people bitching to you, because4simply, they are right. And then even trying to minimize your own responsibility by claiming it must be the team, when driving one of the most powerful ships in the game. Ffs Please stop playing high tier cv....

Yup. Missouri as such disgusts me, but even more a tendency of them to play in idiotproof divisions Missouri X 2 + fletcher Missouri + des memes + carrier etc To all ppl ( @Negativvv et others) that it is all ok if you know radar ranges & duration, sure, but lately there have been too much of those games like OP posted, with 4/5 radars - do you think it is fun as a dd? DD was the only class where you can play a little bit active - with crap amount of radar they can now join the ranks of the passive meta. Just what this game needed more... I agree.

ignore - forum hickup

I'm quite sure nobody has said that in a gazillion years

WG ripped me off, I don't have radar option on my kutz

Even if there isn't a CV, there will be that BB that will go off alone cause "muh need to use secondaries"...

25 red dragons + 25 normal dragons A day before I got an SC: 50 gamescon camps Utter pfffrrrrrrtttt

I don't get it

most fun: CA/CL - disregarding matchmaker: marblehead: that dpm, agile, etc - regarding matchmaker: kutuzov cause smoke trumps your r3tarded tier 8 cruiser machmaking and those pos maps all day - Degrasse - Yubari - Zao BB - scharnhorst cause it isn't a BB DD - fletcher cause best torpedoboat in the game (ah, was that supposed to be IJN dds? good one) - v170, maass, z52 - kiev - kagero with torp reload (if there isn't no bloody cv of course) least fun: CA/CL: - have been replaying some ijn cruisers on my NA account: I really don't like furutake. It might be better with different matchmaking however - hipper, which makes me unhappy because it is such a beautiful ship, and the last historical one - Algérie. Somehow so much more boring than the others BB: Slow fatso's DD - t22 cause ugh - minekaze (ppl say me it used to be good? well, try it now) - hatsuharu - yugumo to the point I sold it and didn't even care for shima anymore - gearing (plz don't hurt me)

This. And leave hipper/mogami/kiev/torp reload kagero at home as well. Thx
