Yea, but we need special module upgrades as well

I think you know well enough it's the last thing I want. The type of selfsufficient ship I referred to is exemplified by the Missouri, which has extremely good anti air, anti cruiser & anti dd capacities, which is retarded. This one I don't understand. Yes, dds are powerful e.g., but they are (most of the time) not 1 per team, unlike CV, so the skill difference will not be that vast. They have counters too. Same goes for most classes. I didn't mean "counter to cv" as the 1 on 1 when a carrier strikes it's target, but counter as in countering the cv from determining win or loss of the whole game. And yea, playing AA cruisers, especially high tiers where the most powerful carriers are, is for a big part bs because of huge maps & bb meta. But who gives about the unterboats.

I think, El2a, what ppl have problems with isn't "equal chances", but rather "fair chances" and how much the difference in skill in 1/12 of a team utterly disrupts that fairness. You are absolutely right if you state that, when opposed with a superior carrier, a coherent agressive push where let's say two parts of the fleet support each other can balance the scales. I will never deny that, cause it is true. As you said yourself, competetive proves it. At the same time, you can not deny that you are asking the impossible here. Agressive, coherent play, in the current meta, in randoms? No offense, but that almost sounds like a cruel joke. The random player is a braindead monkey, and you know it very well. How can any of us change that? You must have had (many) games yourself where you asked/begged/yelled one or more teammates to do x/go y/... and got replied with comatose silence or the ultimate respons "stfu noob". This is why I hate a comment like: Most likely most people on the superior carrier's team will also be utterly useless. They just had the luck of having said carrier. Nothing more. In the end, that is what makes people (including me), angry. Seeing let's say you in an essex on the enemy team, and mr potatohead who first gathers all his planes and then tries to snipe the red cv, in the friendly team, you know there is just nothing to be done, unless by utter chance the skill difference between most or even all other ships than the cvs are as different. (which can happen, as per your description of you losing in carrier) But it removes every bit of personal influence. You talked about game development - well, putting the outcome of a game in pure chance is extremely bad game development. It's the same reason why detonations are hated. The fact that a hugely influential carrier can only be countered by teamplay, in a game that knows no teamplay only makes people who are aware of that feel absolutely powerless, gloomy and angry. (Only to get to full fletched depression once they realize how this game and its playerbase continues to "develop", stimulating less and less teamplay, creating more & more autonomous "islandships" etc) --- Also, I quite respect the fact that you keep arguing this well & polite, given that you most likely must have had this discussion dozens of times. I wish more ppl had your way of thinking.

It is also speculated (by me ) that 0% of WWII warships could press a button which would engage the autorepair mechanism, or engage a radar that generated perfect vision of enemy ships behind mountains,... (to name a few)

Omg. I would be frustrated the most about the fact that I couldn't drop myself

Well, you would have to have a restore point in the first place. Tip: Make one about every month or so, when you are sure your system is stable. To go back there: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/faq/id-2866655/restore-windows-earlier-restore-point.html

Not from me, but saw it on reddit. Quite hilarious. Playerbase much improving.

yea @MortenTardo really can be an annoying little c*

Maybe not. After all, what is one bb more or less.

Not saying it isn't impressive, but it obviously is a reroll. And i'm quite curious what he brings with him in those statpad divisions :P

There's a guy with 90% wr??

Random winrate generator, duh.

So, besides troll of the year 2017 edition, you also are going for the coveted WG's forum Mr Likeable title? You, sir, have ambitions. (Also, how does that not get edited @Nohe21 ?)

I'm quite sure he means on the long run. Of course when your team is full 40% winrate potatoes and the enemy team has 2 full unicum divisions you will most likely lose. But in the long run, you will also have the reverse situation. So the amount of bad vs good teams evens out somewhat, and the only constant therein is you. So 40% winrate in a ship with 10 games means nothing. 40% winrate in a ship with 100 games is worrysome.

Hmm. Not entirely true. They could e.g. make defeats way more costly, or make xp less related to damage done. Also, they certainly are not discouraging certain playstyles. They could make e.g. german bbs have less range, or just make it clear with a brightly coloured popup that those ships fail hard at the sniping game. The british BB HE is another thing.

Dear 85% BB and 1% DD player, I am terribly sorry, but the rules for "best trolling post 2017" clearly stated that any submission should have been entered before 15/12. Certainly quality people like yourself will have ample opportunities for next year's award. Greetingz, The fkn chimpz PS Can we have at least on of your unicum friends coming here repeating your unbiased opinions?

You mean, you *wish* you had bots as teammates?

I don't get the leetspeak :(

So poniest people are also trolliest people? I didn't know that. One is never too old to learn!

Meh. I just went through the ru dd line (khaba). I did a lot of kiev games solo, but in tashkent... I remember one where I was only dd versus fletcher & lo yang on mountain range, spawned north at A (not sure it is A - it is the only one of the caps at one side of the mountain range). That cap was contested, so was the center one. Sure I could have contested the remaining one, but even with glorious speed, that costs a lot of time. Game in the end was close but still defeat. That's the problem with high tier maps, a lot of them are quite big. Or consider bloody okinawa - go cap the noobcap in that situation I guess. And what to even begin in haven if those other dds have a functional brain & contest both caps? Certainly. Most games your ruski won't be the only dd & you try to help the "real" dds. That's the theory. Another one of my rare solo tashkent games: shima + me vs three "real" DDs. You would think, yea painful but if I support shima hard and maybe a brave cruiser and/or bb, who knows. Well, shima starts moving, goes towards border and engages in the great circling movement of 2017, to get behind some enemy bbs at the time enemy has all caps, half the team is dead only to be flushed out & killed when the enemy realizes he's there... Great fun. To conclude: at OP, take a division mate who plays the "normal" DD, and you'll be fine. I can't say if solo games were better in the so called early(/ier) days, but they certainly ain't worth it for a while now.

Next time, take a tier 8 cruiser. You ain't seen nothing yet.

Apparently so...

1. Being offended by flagrant hatespeak --> total SJW bullsh1t 2. Copy pasting a made up nickname of said hatespeaker (which the OP maybe even didn't know wasn't allowed) --> WOW, THAT'S REALLY NOT COOL BRO No one else slightly annoyed by the difference between 1 & 2? Or am I too liberal/SJW/communist/fascist/illuminati...?

Well, when I play wowp and then try to login back into wows, it asks me my password again as well. Dunno why though.WG reasons

You play any other WG games? WOT, WOWp?
