Got it Friday, as planned, and tested it already... nice little ship.

Nice... and what are the numbers of all the other Naval Combat MMOGs?

Ah, well, okay... but even if a CV wastes load of torp/bombs it's not kill stealing... just an utterly dumb choice of targets ^^ If I can see that BB it probably can see me too... and maybe, just maybe, his guns will reload for final salvo just before he burns down... so I rather be safe than sorry and stick some final shells into that BB - when I'm in a BB too, then only from one turret, so I don't waste a salvo, but nonetheless... Yep... but no killstealing. Just total lack of social competence... Dumb waste of a planeload. Considering how CVs will be played after the rework - and the new peopletatoes that will play them - there will be lots of this in the future... And to write something fitting for the thread's theme: Had a good day considering the win/loss rate today with 62.5% wins, but my stats... my oh my... The game to save the day came - once more - in the Krispy Kreme. After calling out a Kamikaze in the enemy team for "intending to club poor helpless (T5) BaBByeals" I then set course from the middle of the southern side of the Solomon (Domination) map to the C cap, starting to molest poor little BaBBseals as soon as the mountains were low enough to shoot over them, not stopping with it 'til the game ended... Gathered three kills and 62k damage and a win doing it... Damn nasty sealclubber, that I am... but at least I do it in a Krispy Kreme ^^

just have to intervene here: There is NO killstealing in WoWs. Any enemy target is a valid target. Any ship can use it's full arsenal of tools of destruction even if it has only 1 hp left. So the only good enemy ship is a sunk enemy ship. Anybody getting pi**ed and whining about killstealing in chat should immediately get sunk by an enemy ship that has only 1 hp left...

Tell that to this one

Ai nevar you's a spelchecka four that reson!

Indeed you did... Using DDs often myself I can imagine what that poor DD player was going through at that moment... CHEATER! You, Sir, must be a effing cheater using MM hacks... nobody gets decent teams on this game on weekends! Nobody, I say! Nonetheless I managed to win four of my five random (!!! no more CoOp (unless for the more stupid missions) for me) battles today. Got a win and a loss in the Jean Bart. Still have to see how she does against a CV, but as the spearhead on a flank push she does good when someone follows her and continues to push when she goes down... got that once today, and it ended as a win, after I took out two Fijis and stuck some more shots in a couple other ships, causing them to turn away from that maniac sailing straight at them at full speed... ^^ Got a win in the Yugumo for sitting in a cap behind an island and torping two enemy DDs trying to sneak around it... Got another win in the Dreadnought. Went to the C cap on New Dawn Domination, watched allied DDs, cruisers and a BB suicide all around me and got the attention of a South Carolina and the enemy Dreadnought... I managed to take the SC down but failed the ram against the Dreadnought... so 48k damage and only one sinker, but the team managed to take it to a win from there.. And the last battle - as always - saw the Krispy Kreme doing what my Krispy Kreme is supposed to do: end up in a T7 Standard battle on Trident and annoy the living sh*t out of all those nasty T7 BBs after losing 50% of your hp to two salvos from a Southern Dragon (= Myoko clone) after 3 minutes into the battle... didn't get a kill, but 42k damage were done by sending flaming rainbows of HE love to all enemy BBs that though standing still or backpedalling slowly and "bowtanking" would be a good idea... And it still makes me wonder why I do seem to do better in a T7 match with the KK than when being top tier.. too many people - especially those T7 BBs to my experience - seem to tend to ignore her and the little plink-plink-fire-plink-fire-plink-plink-plink-fire-etc damage she does... but in the end it adds up. Add to that the poor folks thinking them immune to enemy shells by hugging their island waifu, just to see shells falling down from the sky at them... those shot angles are rediculous!

From what I've seen and read the planes are controlled using WASD, so count me in for the "struggling to get anything done" group. when it goes live... controlling a plane that way didn't feel comfortable to me in WoWp - gimme a good ol' joystick and I'd probably be wrecking ships with my planes left and right... even better, give me a flightstick with buttons that I can assign all those stupid keyboard commands to... Right now, CVs are ruled by prople being able to micromanage their squads that can handle the strafing mechanism... After the patch the rulers need no micromanagement skill. They don't need much minimap observation skill and agile fingerwork will be the most important part of success...

Well, my personal maximum in the Taco Banana is 59k damage done... (91 battles with 22k average damage) so I'd say that might probably take a while... but I wish you all the luck you need to do it!

In Beta and a while after release I did play CVs and enjoyed it. I was not that good, but not that bad either... watching videos from really skilled players at T10 made it clear for me, that ~T7 or so was the highest my skill would allow me to play without being a pita to my team... Then strafing came into the game... pretty neat concept, but for me (!) the mechanics to do the strafe were utterly beyond my ability. Tried it a couple times and decided that I didn't enjoy seeing my planes do strafes into open air or just getting dodged... and I only played T4 CVs from that moment on (not often, but when missions asked for it.. and I didn't even do that bad..) Seeing these videos makes it 100% sure for me that: I will for a while concentrate on playing T4 CVs If CV play turns out as fiddly as it seems and as nasty to anything that is not a CV I will probably only play T1 to T3 ships until there is any kind of solution WG surely won't give a flying eff about me and what I do. But I guess I will not be the only one to restrict his playtime when this sh*t really hits the fan as hard as it can be expected from these videos...

Would love to see you do those 100k (damage I guess...) in a Mikasa ^^

I've been playing CoOp for 20 days now to do the Dreadnaught daily missions and I wonder what you're talking about, as for these whole twenty days CoOp was exactly as you described it... Bots melting like ice in the sunshine, battles lasting only a couple minutes, no chance to get any caps, as the bots get sunk too fast... 100% winrate for the last 298 CoOp battles... If this is not how CoOp is supposed to be, then one might question the abilities of "CoOp only players" as these bots are using exactly one strategy and are extremely easy to win against...

Done... Dreadnaught missions finished and it's in my port. Tried it out and it's not that bad for a T3 BB And as I had a shipload of coal already, I thought about getting me that T10 US Cruiser Salem, but then I came to my senses and got me the Jean Bart and the Charleston instead.. And now I can spend my time doing the missions to get the PEF... a couple are done already... like going for caps in my Kamikaze and getting ~125k damage while only trying to cap... ^^

I lack the trust in my "teammates" to do it like that - every game they would lose would keep me from getting closer to the 99.99% CoOp winrate... ^^

And right now I had @xXx_Blogis_xXx and @Randschwimmer at my side, spanking bots... and we gave them a good spanking... cheers mates!

met @MrWastee and we both proved to be true windowlickers... though he outdid me by getting sunk before me, sinking no enemy and ending in the result list behind me *lol* The team slaughtered the leftover bots without us though, so all ended well...

okay... what was special today... hmm... got +karma'd so now I have 4 pts and I still did not fall asleep during the daily missions - so there's only tomorrow left for me to finally get the Dreadnaught aaaand still no lost CoOp battle since I started this mission for the Dreadnaught... though I have to admit, there was a close one today, where I effed up and was biting my fingernails while watching the team going on without me... but at least one wasn't a potato and secured the win...

So... you got a good spanking, I assume? ^^

As I am in utterly no need for more coal - not really anything I would want to buy with it, that I don't have enough coal already - I only got the coal for using ships to do the "get base exp (from wins)" for the daily/Dreadnaught mission... didn't bother to remember how much it was... don't think of it as important...

Donkey... yeah, very fitting.. especially as I'm sometimes acting like an a$$ too ^^

Couple days ago: Battle with my Krispy Kreme in a T7 setup. Epeencenter mode on Trident map. I started shooting before the first enemy showed up - a) good way to find out if enemy is close enough to spot me and b) often leads to people shooting back and ruining their "how not to be seen" application, which was what happened here... From that point on I send shots at each and every target that got into my range, just to annoy them and start some fires, while dodging tons of metal chucked in my general direction... Shortcut to the end of the battle Only me and another cruiser of our team still alive. Enemy has a DD, a BB and a Cruiser and has captured the circles. BB already was down to 25% or less health, DD was invisible and the Cruiser - a Fiji - was severely damaged, but smoked up the BB to keep it from getting sunk... The other cruiser went down, and I was the last to try to win the battle, being behind 400 to 850 or so... nothing to shoot at, so I went for the circle and got torped... battle ends 90k damage done. But it was all spread out over probably 9 ships or so, so there was no sinker done by me... 1000+ base exp. #1 slot on the losing team. 400 exp ahead of the next ship... Even with the "loss" exp I would have been ~#5 of the winning team, probably higher with the win bonus applied... So yeah, winrate is kinda useless, except for being able to say: I get teamed up less often with potatoes than others or sometimes manage to carry a sack of potatoes to the win...

Hold the press! Breaking News! Scientists discover that water is wet!

Wow... one of the two that rated the above post as "bad" has in his "Top 3 Best Ships" the Nikolai I and the Fujin... isn't that ironic? ^^

Survival of the fittest... natural selection at work...

lol - just lol...
