Hush... Crispy Creme is utterly dreadful.. it's in no way anything like a "Beast".. it's a total victim, even when high tier... etc. etc. Remember the first rule of the Crispy Creme Club - Nobody talks about the Crispy Creme... or about what it can do...

Where are those supposed to come from? I mean, considering the usual playerbase, you will have to be very, very, very lucky to meet a "highly motivated group" of players in a battle. I's probably just the same assortment of afk'ers, potatoes and dimwits you meet in any normal random battle... at least that's how it was the couple times I played ranked before... And random even can be fun. If you see it as an opportunity to play the ships you like to play and don't fall for the pressure of "I have to get to T10 to prove I'm worthy..."

I didn't say there was no interest in it... just that nobody should take it serious... it's just random with the same potatoes, but different rules... how could anyone take that serious? Like in "I got to Rank 1 so I must be a great player" serious...

Don't know when... but it probably would mean to play a ship more often than just the times 'til it's first victory... ...and... where would be the fun in putting 19 pts captains in the ships for ranked? It's not as if anyone should take those "ranked battles" serious anyway, right? Right????

The funniest thing about this is, that there are really people who think this would be true...

yeah, some even whine about other people whining... horrible, those humans..

Pfft... I play my Crispy Creme at least once a day... always the last battle of the day... always in random... usually a T7 battle... already played 187 battles more in her than You did... so I guess I should be allowed some slack Didn't say I'd take out my Kamikaze/Minekaze... everybody knows tm that Emerald and Königsberg are sh*t...

Gesundheit.... * Yep, I will... shooting rainbows of fire at everything that gets within range... Though I would still love to get a spotter plane for the Crispy Creme.. No Unicorn here, but CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! ** * every time I read Ochotnik I read it as the sound someone makes when he sneezes... ** Though I might cheat a bit sometimes... Using the Emerald with one of my spare British 10 pts captains is quite tempting... Or the good old Königsberg...

Not playing high tier helps me a lot in the fun department. Yes, there's tons of potatoes in the lower tiers, too. But at T5 or T6 a CV that is utterly better than his opponent has less chance to totally dominate a game.

Not in this life... And as You can't go below zero, You're at least sefe from being reborn as a cockroach...

Only played five battles today, won three of them, even though I got sunk in all five... Had a nice battle in my Musashi - 101k damage, 2 sinkers - on Shatter map, Domination, starting on the eastern part of thenorth side. There were quite a few T10 ships around, so I decided to play it a bit more passively than I usually do and set course directly west, shooting at targets of opportunity - even lighty hitting an enemy DD at 20 klicks (lucky shot...) - before I turned south to the A cap. The game was a quite passive one, and I had no interest in being the "idiot who pushes and gets annihilated" (at least not this time...). I managed to take down a Des Moines and a Bismarck, then decided to go for the B cap in the middle, which wasn't a good choice. I became the main target for a BB, two Cruisers and the enemy CV... which allowed other ships of my team to go unthreatened for a while, but ended with me getting sunk... Nonetheless shortly after the game ended with a win. Last battle of the day was the traditional Crispy Creme T7 battle... and then my least favourite battle mode and map: E-Peencenter on Trident... Considering that the soviets forgot to use stalinium when building the Crispy Creme, I staid in the back a bit, using the rainbow of shells to demotivate the enemies. Nonetheless I nearly (!) sank two enemy DDs, if not for some other ships finishing them off... but then my great moment came, when a Fuso tried to sneak around the island behind which I was hiding! I missed with the first three torps from the port side launcher, but managed in time to turn around, so the Fuso took all three torps of the starboard side one.. switching to HE I sailed straight at the Fuso, then turned hard right and then hard left again, giving an allied BB the open field of fire it needed, all the while sending HE shells in the deck constructions, finally getting it burning and soon after sinking... Shortly after I met my doom though, as my action had exposed me to no less than all three of the enemy's surviving ships... so it was Kaboom time... Nonetheless, it was a win with a sinker and 63k damage and a unicornish WoWs S&N rating... And now I even managed to get the Crispy Creme to >50% total winrate.. Yay!

Why the eff should I be excited about another Trumpistany ship? Just one more radar to dodge...

Good choice. Having another potato driving around clueless in a DD is nothing we need in the game. Now if you'd want to do us all another favour, you should sell all your other ships, too, and then find something else to soend your free time on.. maybe... Bingo? You'd be able to annoy some helpless grandmothers then to no end...

My best battle of the day came in my Crispy Creme... Only one sinker but 65k damage done in a T7 battle. And that, even though two Scharnhorsts tried to eradicate me right at the start... and the enemy Hiryu tried several times to bomb me out of the water... As my team vaporized around me I dodged and dodged and dodged some more, still got hit a couple times, but always managed to get away. I added at least four or five cap defenses to my score, which gave me a 2790 WoWs S&N Unicorn rating... but didn't help to win the game. When the time ran out, the last three ships on our side - including me - were about 200 points or so behind... a loss...

Seems You don't really know that much about the low/mid-tier game. Real newbies get newbie protection, so they don't have to face nasty sealclubbers like me until they could at least know the basics. And as I already mentioned, the number of non-newbies in low and mid tier is larger than the number of more or less new players. The assembled shown ranks from ranked battles prove that. I've seen even Rank 1 players in mid tier.. and more than once. And there's quite a lot of fun to be had when you enter a battle with your Kamikaze, just to see that you are the low tier DD in a T7 battle or getting in a battle with some other Kamikaze or Gremlin or any of those "must have been playing since beta since the ships aren't available anymore" players. And yes, when BBs use WASD hack games get a lot more interesting. Too bad so many of them haven't learned to do that even at T10...

Mead with BUBBLES??????? What kind of sacrileg is that? I never had any bubbling mead, and I had lots of it, when I was still doing viking re-enactment as a hobby (many years ago...) AFAIK there's at least two different basic setups to make mead. One delivers something more beer-ish (hence the bubbles, I guess) while the other results in a more wine-like version (without bubbles, more like some heavy wine... Port or Tokay...) with a kind of oily consistency. Starts with choosing the yeast, I guess...

As there's very few seals around mid tier - or even low tier - it's more sealclubber-clubbing. Whenever a ranked season is going on, you can see many players from rank 10 to 1 playing in mid tier to relax a bit and get away from the ranked battle potatoes. And it also has been confirmed - I think - that the next ranked season will be for T5, probably because many people asked for it. And please enlighten me, what the "higher skill cap" in high tier is supposed to be. I mostly encounter potatoes there, who don't have a clue of tactics or mechanics and got to T10 by throwing money at WG for T8 premiums to gather Free-exp to get their holy grail T10 ships... Knowledge of game mechanics is also optional for most high tier players... most try to do without. Most often those who drive around in BBs I know, players who mostly play their T10 ships want to see themselves as the elite of WoWs. Some are actually quite good. A few even impressive. But most players on T10 are not a bit better than those playing at mid-tier (for different reasons). Too bad that the ships offer them the chance to stay far away from the enemy, which leads to many island-hugging-and-hop-to-not-get-hit battles, which I find extremely boring. And I try to avoid boring battles, so I only do the minimal amount needed to do the T8+ missions. I don't expect You to understand that. And I have to admit, I don't really give a flying eff if you do or not.

Wasn't that said about subs for quite a while, too? You mean as in "business as usual for a radar spotted DD"?

That is the number of Battles by my Warship tier... Yes, I ain't got a T10 ship (yet), but I get in T10 battles all the time with my T8 and T9 ships... so maybe check fact before posting ox-feces And yes, I prefer to play in mid-tier. Mostly because BB players there aren't usually as toxicly dumb as at the highest tiers. Makes it quite frustrating to do all those "use at least a T8 ship" missions, when one get's handed a team of full potatoes in T10 ships...

I agree with Epeencenter being great for Two Brothers. Would surely be hilarious to see what happens there The only other map I'd love to see it on would be Ocean though... but then for all ships (with fitting map sizes) from T2 on up... Though getting Epeencenter on Pig Race when I go sealclubbing refreshing my skills on my T4/5 ships is often nice... so many people without a clue how to win that mode on the low tiers...

Did my second battle - total - with the Icarus today. It was south team, Domination mode on Estuary with a 4/4/4 MM setup - 4 of each class, 0 CV I started on the right/east-middle spot, with another Icarus on the far right/east. He went straight up to C, while I headed straight up, to slip into C from the western side. When I made the turn towards C near the island in the middle, an enemy DD showed up - Acasta - which turned out to be really yummy... First kill... Had to dodge some shells after that, as some enemy ships were heading to C and seemed eager to sink me, but managed to get away nearly undamaged. The second Icarus was busy fighting another enemy DD in C, which had the misfortune to come out of his smoke right when I arrived at C - second kill... After that, the two Icar... -usses? -i? held the cap almost alone against several enemy BBs and cruisers, with the most funny moment being me using my sonar to light up a cruiser and a BB hding behind the island north of C. I also managed to stick some torpedoes in a BB and set it on fire when he repaired the flooding, so he was barbe'd nicely - third kill... if not for some shells coming from a faraway BB finishing him off In the end, there was only one more enemy DD left near C, but when the two.. of us RN DDs started the hunt for it, the game was won by points... Result: 2 sinkers, 86k damage done and a 5243 WoWs unicorn rating... having played some RN DD and cruisers before sure helps to play the new ones

Hadn't they announced that with the next patch in CO-OP there will be a limit to DDs and BaBBies?

There might be no need, but it makes me feel a bit better *Edited

Nope... rather remove Epeencenter.. The trick for Standard is not to hug your cap, but to advance carefully, being ready to pull back on the side where the enemy is more present and then push on the other. It's a quite simple tactic, yet it is to much for too many players, especially all those BaBBies who expect DDs and cruisers to think for them...

How to deal with it? Report and ask all other players to report too. *Edited
