Sorreee... but I only stated "Someone worth shooting at" before I chose the wrong flank to get into that kicking contest with the Yorck.. not the best choice of opponents when in a Krispy Kreme... But I promise, if we meet again I shall try my best to sink you... even when we're in the same team ^v^

Did the daily mission give a supercontainer today? 'Cause I suddenly had one in my harbour after a battle.. and I got a Duca d'Aosta from it... ^^ Tested it in CoOp and noticed it's a glasscannon. Tried it in Random and managed to sink a Lyon with a suicide torpedorun.. but lost the battle :/ Had quite a few bad games today.. and only one good one, in the Jean Bart, with 112k damage, no sinkers though, but at least a win...

just had @Riselotte in the enemy team. My team lost and I didn't play well either.. ^^

When taking my Hippster for a ride, I had the honour to get in the same team as @TomBombardil allowing me to watch his Midway being the bane of the enemy team... alas, they did not have to suffer long...

Just looked at Your ships and now I wonder which You would use to go a'clubbin'? Maybe You'd have to use a different ship to club with more success? Vampire is a nice little clubber... I can assure you of that... Orion isn't as good as it was, but still clubs nicely..

Y'know, if everyone would do that, the game would at least end as a draw... and if only one (just one) of your teammates did a bit better - killing two enemies or not dying himself - then the game could end as a win... So this yolo in and sink one enemy isn't that bad... at least compared to "sitting on the side of the map furthest away from the enemy, sniping longrange and not doing anything vital to win the battle" ;) Don't go there... that's the way leading to the Dark Side! It's not only a game.. Only a win will give you the satisfaction the mighty Conan spoke of, when he said: Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of the women!

I play quite a lot DD... and nearly every time I play my BBs I get DDs that do just what You described... steam into cap, spot an enemy and immediately smoke up, cutting line of sight and make it impossible for me to support them I usually smoke up, too, but then steam full speed away in an angle that keeps the target spotted... and only if there's too many shells coming my way, I get my smoke between me and the ships shooting at me... and in these cases, all allied BBs and cruisers usually speed right through my smoke to get gangbanged focussed and torped to the max..

That's exactly what people complain about. And radar. Nice example of russian bias... ^^

Ah, but there IS a large difference between ordinary weekdays and weekends/holidays - during the normal weekdays one usually meets genuine potatoes... on the weekends/holidays it's potatoes, drunk potatoes and drunk non-potatoes-playing-like-potatoes-due-to-being-drunk... There's nothing to be hated about CoOp though.. yes, it is kinda boring with those incompetent and easy to beat bots... but as long as WG puts out utterly stupid and boring "do tons of this to get the mission done" missions I'd rather go at it without having to bother about human players trying to sink me. CoOp makes the success in those missions so much more calculable ^^

At least You didn't run out of targets... happens to me in CoOp all the time before my thirst for blood is satisfied... ^^ Yeah, I did it again... a couple battles in CoOp due to the new PEF mission set. Some stuff just can be done easier in CoOp than when there's people shooting at you and really trying to sink you, instead of getting distracted by something their code sees as a more valuable target and ignoring you completely while you send shells - and torps - at them... Still no battle lost there... Also did a few battles in random... Two battles in the Jean Bart - still trying to find out exactly how it works - with a loss in the first and a win in the second, 3 kills and most of the 230k total damage done in the second battle. Including a poor DD that probably hadn't expected how fast the JB can switch from AP to HE *coughMainBatteryReloadBoostercough* One won battle in the Chung Mu, which is a ship that I probably never will learn how to use properly.. And the daily Krispy "send flaming HE rainbows of love to your enemies" Kreme battle. This time featuring an Iwaki Alpha on the enemy team... and I was like "Wow.. Iwaki Alpha.. haven't seen one of those for a very long time... must be either a skilled alpha player or a very old potato" and as it turned out, the second was the case (it ended at the #12 slot of the losing team) Battle was T5 Standard on "Strait" with me starting on the south-eastern side. I set course north - like about all of the enemy ships on the southern half of the map - which turned out to be a slight tactical disadvantage - and managed to stick some AP shells into the broadside of a Furry Taco while passing that passage between the islands at the edge of the middle, then sinking the Minekaze that was happily trying to cap our cap without bothering about how not to be seen... then I was ignored by two enemy BBs on the northern map edge, while sending my rainbows of fiery HE love at them - they were too busy missing shots at an allied BB in our cap - while the enemy ships that first had stormed north all turned back as it was now our turn to cap their cap... One of the enemy BBs in the north went down, but before I could amass a little more damage the game was won due to capping... unsatisfying, really unsatisfying... So only one sinker and just 47k damage... but a win is a win is a win..

Because it's still christmas - kinda - and I feel nasty, I have to rub some salt into that wound: I needed exactly one (1) CoOp battle in my Yugumo to get those 50k spotting damage... Sail ahead at the bot DD coming at me at the expected course, sink it, lay smoke for the cruiser/BB behind me, spot bot BB coming at me on the expected course, dodge some shells, watch it get rekt and sink - voila, 50k+ spotting damage done.. ^^ 60 fires/torpedo hits/floodings might take another day to get finished though.. ^^

I usually rather remember the games with only a few idiots on the team... those others I always want to forget real fast... ^^

Uhm... no? Why should I get me a premium account when all I want to achieve in the game can be done on a free account without any problems? And I bet there's a ton of players - even here on the forum - who don't need a premium account either.. So no, not an offer that everyone should get... only those who would want to buy a 360 premium anyway... and have the money to spend it... and don't care about CV rework and what it will do to the game ^^

weeeeeell... I'm not really competent in the Emerald... only 25k average damage and a max damage of barely 63k - don't really know how I managed my 69% winrate in the 36 battles I needed to get to the Leander... (43k average damage, 146k max and 7 sinkers, 58% winrate over 334 battles *coughcough*) So under the right circumstances a good player can make any ship OP ;)

Dude, I know exactly what You felt at that moment... I felt exactly the same when this happened to me... 262 battles in the Krispy Kreme later - still only a meager 51.91% winrate - I really LOVE this little trollship. It even carried me to Rank 1 in the first sprint ranked - played her exclusively! And today, I had another trollish battle in it: T6 battle - only a couple T6 BBs/Cruisers/DDs, but two T5 CVs per team - Domination on New Dawn, starting South - and I immediately set course to the C cap, after some friendly banter with an enemy Kamikaze commander (-> "Damn sealclubbing Kamikazes.. always out to club poor, helpless little T6 BaBByseals" which he agreed to). A Spee was the first enemy coming into my range and the rainbow of hot HE love started... the poor sod tried to defend himself, shooting HE at me, but didn't do much damage. I didn't do that much damage either with each hit, but the constant dakka-dakka-fire-dakka-fire-dakka-dakka took it's toll. And with a bit allied help he soon went down and I was able to go after other targets... A while later I managed to club the sealclubber, but only after he had taken his toll by sinking three of my teammates. After that I managed to annoy two more enemy ships, which were sunk by our CVs though, and capped B. Next I went after the last surviving enemy ships - their CVs... The Zuiho send a full load at me, lost some planes, but didn't do too much damage to me. Two CVs sank each other, so it was one enemy CV vs. one CV, an afk DD and me... I managed to spot that Zuiho and got it to burn, but his second plane strike was done a lot better than the first, so my Krispy Kreme went down... As we were ahead by 300+ points and the counter already was at ~900 this wasn't even relevant... and shortly later the battle was won. So.. two sinkers, only 39k damage and 9 planes shot down... not too bad. Believe me, You can learn to love this little trollship... The rainbows of fiery HE love make it utterly lovable!

Yeah.. I bet after a couple minutes there would magically log on enough players at that time to come up with two full 12 man teams... *löl*

That's why there's no OP ships - only UP players ^^

95.02% dude... stay with the truth... ^^

Only if you manage to get yourself caught... burned a Spee down to a nice, crispy wreck of a ship with my Krispy Kreme today from close to maximum range, nicely dodging (most of) the Spee's shots (though as he was shooting with HE anyway that wasn't even really that much needed...) So Spee + good player = dangerous Spee + potato player = just another potato...

Got my Dreadnought missions done Friday. Did some Snowflake missions, but I don't have many ships that gave steel and I don't need any coal, so there's that.. So right now no more (or at least only few) CoOp battles (unless there's some dumb missions for the PEF that might be done easier in a Tripitz B or aT9 DD in CoOp than in random). And to all the poor folks being harassed by us nasty PvP players: itwon't last too long... most will have the missions done soon... so all will be fine for you again. PvP players then will still have 80% potatoes in their battles indefinately... ^^

So many great ideas here... Too bad WG will either never learn of them or when they would do, they'd still ignore them as unqualified opinions... And of course they will fail to address the problem with a proper solution... Just WG things...

Check winrates for a majority of < 45% players - proof

If it wasn't pink it wasn't the real Starbuckscrying... If it didn't rage in chat... see above... WG should check the IP - he must have sold his account it seems to me... ^^

I think (!) this game would allow for a lot more balanced battles with a smaller team size - like 8 ships per team instead of 12 People would need a lot more map awareness and flexibilty to react to the enemies' actions... Which is exactly the reason, why we will never see something like this - too many players would be unable to adapt...

*insert Arnold Schwarzenegger voice* You'll be back!
