Takru

Bin übrigens durchaus noch forenaktiv, aber wie beschrieben waren die letzten Q&A nicht wirklich interessant, daher gabs nur Zusammenfassungen.

Your average damage in ranked Kiev games is 18.633. According to your stats, you're doing even worse in Kiev than in strike Ranger, so I expect a lot more "advice-ish" topics from you on that ship.

Looking forward to this, if CV captains follow your advise it'll make things a lot easier for me when playing CV.

Coming from you, this actually is a compliment. Because the only thing you can do is trolling. And even there you suck.

Judging by his stats, he needs to be carried. A lot.

30-60 seconds is enough to avoid streamsniping. More delay would mean less interaction with viewers i.e. on twitch as what they see has happened too long ago for the streamer to comment upon at that point.

...or a boring forum troll.

They want fighters so they know where the enemy DDs are and can act accordingly. It helps winning battles, you know.... no, you don't know. Says the same guy who wrote earlier in the same post: Only when it comes to numbers of games played in Ranger in ranked and other, non meaningful, categories. You consistently lose more games in Ranger than you win. After about 400 games. If this isn't giving you something to think about, nothing will. Your winrate is below 50%, which means that it is unlikely that you'll reach rank 1. Ever. Adapt and evolve. Strike Ranger is, by your own statistics, obviously not the way to go.

Breaking news everbody, sinking DDs in rankes gives you an advantage! Your usless strike Ranger has 4 attack squadrons, an enemy can only have up to 3 fighter squadrons. One of your attack squadrons should get through. There is only one way for ranked games: bring fighters. Stop being selfish, start helping your team out. Cruisers don't bring defensive AA to a ranked battle usually, because CVs are a rare sight. Don't expect the team to tailor all their strategies around the vague possibility to have a CV on their team. Something which you seem to lack by your own definition, not bringing fighters to the battle yourself. Belive it or not, Saipan brings attack aircraft itself, invariably. If he has 2/2/0, he'll still be able to torp BBs/CAs relatively reliably, if he is 3/0/1, he'll just pray to RNGesus and nuke your Destroyers while you can do exactly nothing to protect your own teammates. Your season 4 stats so far: For all your bragging about the strike power of your Ranger, you still have to life up to it. On the contrary, from these stats I'd rather conclude that your teams are losing not neccessarily because they're bad but because you are. Again, it's not. CVs are not a regular sight in ranked battles, how could you possibly expect other players to equip their ships exactly for that rather uncommon occurence? And even more, how can you expect 6 people to play to your bidding. If you were to put yourself in their shoes, you'd not do it either.

Autodrop in ranked battle... Well, this does explain a lot.

Lexington 1.000 pound DB bombs disagree

I wonder what the difference between Tirpitz and Bismarck will be then, other than the Torpedos.

I see citadels, citadels everywhere!

I noticed that there're relaively few DDs in random games these days. Rarely saw more than 3 per side in T7-ish games.

Gun range on US DDs isn't that much of a thing for me because of their stratospheric shell arc. There will certainly be people out there who can reliably hit at long range when sailing a Mahan or Sims, I'm not one of them. Kiev has much worse concealment than IJN DDs, and we're talking several km here...

They have good guns, but turret traverse and rate of fire are horribad. Mahan is acatually a better choice for ranked than Sims, she does have one more gun with equally bad good torpedos. Sims has the upper hand if you happen to find a game with skypigs aircraft carriers. Kiev is reliant on others to do the spotting, but packs quite some guns. Blyska might be the best allrounder.

I wonder if the OP will accomplish 1000 games played in ranked season 4 before the season ends. We'll know eventually. Until then, stay tuned for the inevitable next episode of "Horrors from the flight deck".

Sims is actually hilariously good, especially when there's a CV around. Mahan is probably the most played DD in ranked right now. Kiev is extremly dependend on someone else doing the spotting because her concealment is more that of a cruiser than that of a destroyer. Blyskawica is a good allrounder and if anybody finds out what rare/special premiums you're dreaming of, please let me know, I'm curious, too.

Rrrriiiiight.... the T6 CV in a T8 match is the most powerful one..... You heard it here first people!

Geoffrey, a middle-aged British tourist on his first visit to Germany finds the red light district and enters a large brothel. The madam asks him to be seated and sends over a young lady to entertain him. They sit and talk, frolic a little, giggle a bit, drink a bit, and she sits on his lap. He whispers in her ear and she gasps and runs away! Seeing this, the madam sends over a more experienced lady to entertain the gentleman. They sit and talk, frolic a little, giggle a bit, drink a bit, and she sits on his lap. He whispers in her ear, and she too screams, "No!" and walks quickly away. The madam is surprised that this ordinary looking man has asked for something so outrageous that her two girls will have nothing to do with him. She decides that only her most experienced lady, Lola, will do. Lola has never said no, and it's not likely anything would surprise her. So the madam sends her over to Geoffrey's. They sit and talk, frolic a little, giggle a bit, drink a bit, and she sits on his lap. He whispers in her ear and she screams, "NO WAY, BUDDY!" and smacks him as hard as she can and leaves. Madam is by now absolutely intrigued, having seen nothing like this in all her years of operating a brothel. She hasn't done the bedroom work herself for a long time, but she's sure she has said yes to everything a man could possibly ask for. She just has to find out what this man wants that has made her girls so angry. Besides she sees a chance to teach her employees a lesson. So she goes over to Geoffrey and says that she's the best in the house and is available. She sits and talks with him. They frolic, giggle, drink and then she sits in his lap. He leans forwards and whispers in her ear, "Can I pay in Pounds?"
