In my Yubari I have an average of 3.43 planes shot down per battle. Considering that at T4 there are many battles without any CV (~30% I'd say) and that usually a Cruiser isn't the main target for sealclubbing CVs (who prefer yummy BaBBies who don't know anything about WASD.exe hack) I think I'm doing okay in the Yubari... quite a few Hoshos lost their entire TB loads on the fruitless attempts to sink that cruiser coming at them... and Langleys don't do much better... So in an average battle with one CV who makes the mistake to get his planes close to Yubari it's about 6 planes shot down... with two CVs this may go up to 10 to 12... my personal record were 24 destroyed planes in a single battle... some people just don't lean from failure, it seems... So... given the number of planes the T4/5 CVs have available, the Yubari has all it takes to be a pita for them... the only problem might be that experienced CV sealclubbers will stay as far away from her as possible... I've seen that happening a lot... Nonetheless any AA buff for her would be greatly welcomed by me... And as this is a thread about ships needing a buff: Krasny Krim needs a spotter plane!

How about NOPE!

So... I take it that summer holidays have started? Or why are even more potatoes on the loose than usual? No weekend, so I tried to play high tier... boy, was that bad... two battles in the Ibuki with 60k average damage and one sinker each... but both ended with losses as the "team" was just... yukkk! So down some tiers... Königsberg was sure not going to... disappoint... me... oh Lordy, Lordy... the teams did it again, and I played like a potato too... so time for the "sure win ships" Tadaa... Vampire... 83k damage... 3 sinkers... 3 caps taken... survived the battle with - wait for it.... - 27 hp... yes, twentyandseven... and the battle was won. That was FUN! Yubari was next. And it was Epeencenter mode on Pig Race... but two CVs on each team - yummy! I only managed 7 plane kills - - and no sinkers and only 17k damage... but I got a couple cap assists and survived to see the win Ishizuchi with Yamamoto as commander... got into a knife fight with an Arkansas B, but I had some DD as help - even though I had to dodge some allied torps - and was able to have some fun after that.. even managed to sink the enemy CV... and another win... Still felt a bit naughty... so the Kamikaze came out. Business as usual, though for once it wasn't clubbing T7 BaBByseals but only T5 ones... still was good for 3 sinkers, 61k damage, some caps and a win. Good old Kamikaze rarely disappoints... And Crispy Creme... Did some of the good old Dakka-Dakka and managed to sink a - very surprised, I guess Omaha by sticking a full broadside of AP into it's broadside... Kaboom... Next was a FurryTaco that didn't expect torps coming around that island's edge... Kaboom... and then I managed to get torped by the dying Taco's own torpedoes... kaboom... Nonetheless the battle was won and 2 sinkers and 32k damage ain't too shabby.. So... 55% winrate. 47k average damage and 1.56 average sinkers... and an okay-ish PR of 1961 - I'll never get to a unicorn winrate if I don't play more constant, I guess.. but who wants to be a unicorn anyway, right?

As long as I can do my best Atlanta imitation at T5 - sitting behind an island and spamming HE at anything that gets in range - I don't bother much about hitrate yeah, that is the most logical reason... nonetheless the Mikasa still works great against those low tier russian cruisers and DDs

Ah... generation smartphone again... How about "You want to learn something? Then try it until you have mastered it." All the kids today just want to get their stuff served on a silver platter, so they don't have to do much themselves... Add to that, it helps nothing to watch a unicorn go sealclubbing, when oneself has not a spark of skill at aiming and all that... the newbie watches 10 videos and enters the game and everything goes south from there... the team doesn't play as he has seen it in the videos... he is solo and not in a comfy division (like CCs usually are...) and his aim is utterly bad... So no, "we" don't need those guys at low tier. And newbs don't need them either. Some training missions by WG would be nice to learn how to play this game.

I hope they just stay at "high tier". Low/Mid tier don't need them people.

Map is okay as it is now, but players are losing braincells at an accelerated rate nowadays it seems... the potato percentage - P% - has increased greatly over the last couple months... or rather since WoWs hit Steam. I often wonder how all these people manage to function without a working brain in everyday life... but they probably don't and play WoWs instead...

@UANick Listen to this man, OP... he does nearly as much damage in Mikasa as me and even has a better winrate! And I don't really see any need to buff Mikasa... alas, any buff would of course be greatly appreaciated. There's another ship that, compared to Mikasa, is really in dire need of a buff: please give the Crispy Creme a spotting plane!

Best DD for T7 battles is - as for T4, T5 and T6 battles - the Kamikaze. 'nuff said...

So... got back in the afternoon and had time for a couple battles... two in Ishizuchi - a loss and a win - with mediocre stats... two in Königsberg - a loss and a win - with okay-ish stats (in the lost game) a loss in my Ibuki, with some horrible teammates and mediocre stats by me... time to take out the safe ships... a win in my Kamikaze. 29k damage, 1 kill and the cap to win the game (standard battle) a win in the Yubari - 41k damage, 1 kill, 11 Hosho planes shot down and the cap to win the game... (standard battle) a win in the Vampire - 29k damage, 4 kills and the cap etc. etc. a loss in the Crispy Creme... darn it, but I became the main target of half the enemy team in a T7 battle right from the start. Still made 26k damage and ended ahead of 5 other ships in the score list of the losing team.. Teams today were quite ugly again... so I did my best to secure wins by capping when possible. Worked out a few times and didn't work out a few times... Still it was good enough for a 55% winrate, 31k average damage (meh ), 1 average sinker (meh2 ) and only an average 1200 PR (meh3 )

Spend too much time rendering nudes and having pizza from a grill with my wife's family the last days, but today was BattleTime tm again. Weekend... so low tier... or rather even lower than usual tier for me... Did horrible in three battles in my Vampire today. I have a 70+% winrate in it usually... today it was 0%. Did only 28k average damage and horiible teams didn't help either.. bah.. just forget about it... Ishizuchi with Yamamoto on the wheel... Felt nasty, so I went after the enemy DDs... got two of them and a cruiser for 36k damage and a win. Itchy Suzi - the first HE spammer! Orion in a T5 battle - so what? Okay, I got sunk, but I did 64k damage and lead a - solo - push that made half the enemy team break up their attempt to go ahead over a flank and go after me, giving our side the advantage on that flank. I got sunk, but the team managed to win against a disrupted enemy. Felt even more nasty, so Kamikaze came out... 58k damage and 3 sinkers, a cap or two and being a pita to the enemy team... the usual stuff for a Kamikaze, right? In every battle before there had been CVs around, so Yubari was called into action... and no CV was there... so I had to go and look for some DDseals to club. Got one... and a cruiser too... and some damage on BBs... 72k total with the 2 sinkers in a won game Arkansas B - and of course there's a CV in the battle... My team entirely ignored the enemy DDs which secured our loss in a Domination Battle. I only managed 47k and a sinker, but couldn't carry a T5 battle with mentally handicapped players being in the majority on my team Still some more battles to go in the Königsberg before she gets grandfathered... although.. I'm not really sure if I want to grandfather her. And a battle like the one today, with 101k damage and a kraken in a won game. Finally got taken down by a really nicely done torpedo cross drop by one of the enemy team's two CVs, but that didn't keep our side from winning a minute later... Seems Kö'berg tries hard not to get finally grandfathered and gives me good games lately... And the last one... for once a win in the Crispy Creme. Didn't manage a sinker, but 41k damage and a lot of annoying was done against the enemy team... So... 60% winrate, an average of 50k damage, 1.6 average sinkers per battle and a 2200 PR at WoWs S&N... looks like last friday somehow... Tomorrow we'll meet some fiends so no battles for me again... but there's always sunday...

I got me my Solo Warrior so long ago that I don't even remember in which ship I got it... Probably was in a low tier DD... And I had a battle, where running as fast as possible secured a win for my team, too... it was my battle in the... ...Ibuki. It was a dmination battle on "Ice Islands" in which I first went to the northern-most cap alone - at least for a while, until a Roon followed me. Together we sank a Minotaur there - the only enemy ship challenging the cap. Went west and south from there, sniping at the enemy around the other two caps and trying to fade from the enemies' memory between salvos. For a short while our team held all three caps, then attrition set in and more and more of my allies went down. Enemy took the south and middle cap, but with only 30 seconds and a big lead I chose wisely to leg it as far as possible. So I secured the win - yay! - and ended the battle with (only) 66k damage, a sinker and - tadaa - a Dreadnaught Award. As the weekend is over it was some higher tier battles for me today, so I took the Bismarck for a ride... valiantly steamed ahead, right into the enemies, leading the push... except there was none, as usual... so after a while I went down in the focus fire, with nobody around to give me a breather... only 66k damage and not even a sinker, but at least the team managed to win the battle Hsienyang... not sure if I like this ship. First battles I did in it I tried radar and learned that I'm no good with radar, especially with a not fully retrained captain... So the battles before ended with me sinking fast and mostly losses... or all losses? Well, this time I chose smoke instead of radar and it felt a lot better... Yeah, I'm more of a sneaky sealclubber I guess... two sinkers and 49k damage and a win... Captain is now retrained, and I'll see if it makes much of a difference... And the fourth and last battle of the day: Crispy Creme... somehow I wonder if it's the ship or the unluckyness of the non-irish, but I seem to get potato teams with a much higher percentage in the CC than in any other ship... My alled ships decided to suicide hard and fast against the enemies while I was fighting a retreating battle nearly from the start. As too many ships were able to target me after a while, the "retreating battle" didn't go on for long. I managed a sinker and 27k damage, but went "Boom" myself soon after. The only loss of the day... One thing that really makes me wonder is how I manage to have a 74% winrate (over nearly 50 battles) in my Ibuki, even though my stats are rather... mediocre... only 51k average damage and 0.7 average sinkers per battle in it.. still I often survive and games are won... luck with the teams? Surely it can't be skill from my person... Among all of my ships with at least 10 battles the Ibuki is #6 by winrate... #5 is Vampire (75% / 49 battles), #4 Gadjah Mada (77.5% / 40 battles), #3 Tenryu (80% / 10 battles), #2 Storozhevoi (80% / 10 battles) and #1 is Chikuma (90% / 10 battles). The next T8+ ship by winrate is my Bismarck with 53% on place - tadaa - 76. Seems I fit better into the low/medium tier bracket, except for when using the Ibuki?!?

Yes. Usually there's also at least 1/3 of the BaBBy Driver's brain removed in the process. Then there's a reduction of their manual skills as soon as they get close to an island, so they can't use the A or D key properly, leaving them with only the W and A key. Which fits their "kemp bush" mentality perfectly... Any more questions?

This sounds too much like "american" to me. Which I ain't. And have no intention to become. If You want an answer to your question, than adressing me as a Forumista would be more proper

Nope... and why should it? Rank 1 reached in raked battles doesn't mean someone is very good... only means that someone a) is lucky to get lots of good team and/or b) has a lot of patience I wonder whoever came up with the idea that Rank 1 means anything else...

Had a couple deserved wins and losses today... and a couple undeserved ones, too. Only a few games were worth mentioning.. A win in my Yubari... didn't do that good damagewise - only 20k - and didn't sink a ship, but managed to take down 13 enemy planes as the enemy Zuiho didn't learn from the first attempt to torp me. I also managed to make the last two (!) enemy ships - BBs - back away from the island I was sitting behind, clearly visible to them, but not reachable for their guns... Seems they expected to get torped to death and so they rather backed up to get shot into pieces by my allied ships... the last game of the day was in my Crispy Creme... 52k damage but only one sinker... but I managed 22 "cap saves" or whatever it's called when you reduce an enemy's cap points... too bad, that when the enemy won the game I was the last ship alive... well, except for a Pepsicola on the far off side of the map... yeah, a loss.. but it was fun to get all the attention of the enemies... Sealclubbing is most fun in a Kamikaze in a T7 battle... especially in a Two DD per Side battle, where I went to Cap A (Neighbours map, Domination mode) and capped it without any resistance. I had asked the two BBs and two cruisers following me to A (well, not TO A, but to the region BELOW A) to support our second DD at B, which they utterly ignored. So while I went on to B after taking A, they circled around A below the cap (!) being utterly useless because of no enemy ships being available for them to get shot at... So I got a wee bit salty in that moment, calling those four players something not nice - starting with "Idi" and ending with "ots" - and as someone wrote in chat that I shouldn't call them names I wrote "If they play like *censored*, I call them *censored*" only I didn't use "censored" in chat of course... Well, managed to push the enemy DD out of it's smoke at B, capped B and then went on to harass the rest of the enemy team, that had taken C and now was going SW from there, with only a single allied BB in their way - and most of the *censoreds* still lagging around north of A looking for enemies (who were either at C or SE of B)... After taking B I had tried some suice run against an enemy Normandy, which I had failed to sink while paying not with my life but only about 96% of it for the mistake... So now, only a fleshwound away from getting sunk, it was my job to keep the enemy ships SE of B from winning the game... I managed to keep invisible, which was something our defending Scharnhorst (I think?) didn't manage, as it went down in focus fire. Soon after followed an afk New Mexico, which was still sitting at it's starting position... just then the enemy Gneisenau (I think..) ate some more of the eels I served her from 8 klicks away... (yes, 7 km torps sinking a ship from 8 km away... a T7 ship... must have been a BaBBy...) Now those four *censoreds* finally managed to get into range to shoot at some ships, too. And while I now moved into B again - which had been taken by the enemy inbetween - they started mopping up some damaged enemy ships. I decided, that capping B would be enough for me, so I did... and shortly later the game ended with a win... Of course I got reported and lost two Karma... getting me down to zero once again... but who cares about karma anyway... at least when you do 95k damage, sink two ships (yeah, that Normandy didn't get away in the end... no instant kill, but flooding took it down...) and get three (solo?) caps... a 4285 PR at WoWS S&N Weekend has been ups and downs... but during the last 21 days I've managed a 60% winrate... will take a few *cough* more weeks like that to get my 55% winrate over 10k battles to 56%

I never did 200k in the Kami... I'm no filthy sealclubber, so all I managed was 169k Did 240k in the Tenryu though... well... over all ten battles I played in her I totalled 243k I mean...

Well, I get quite excited when I manage a 150k+ battle... don't have any T10 though... so I think it's still okay to be a bit excited when I manage 196k in a.. say... Minekaze... for example...

I agree... Italian BBs sink in the most stylish way possible... But I agree on that 10% off € 30.- minimum buy... especially when WG gives them out like sweets during cologne carnival... *throws a couple kg of sweets into the masses* Depends entirely on you. I had some real fun in the Emerald and it just got better in the Leander... now I have to see how I can do in Fiji with a captain that needs retraining.. One might be tempted to say, that the reason might be the common denominator - You?!? No, really.. it's you... you are trying to do them missions, so... what do you expect? Didn't do that good yesterday, but today was a bit better.. 11 battles done, 9 battles won... and I even survived a couple... two battles needed in Königsberg to get a win. 35k average damage and 3 kills (in the second battle, which was the win) is okay-ish also two battles needed to win one in the Podvoisky. 21k damage and one kill per battle... in the first the team was meh and left me all alone defending a cap against 3/4 of the enemy team... in the second I went down quicklike, but took the enemy Shiratsuyu with me... T5 vs. T7 sounds okay... and the team won the battle.. after that and remembering that Friday is the first day of the weekend, I only took "sure win ships" out for the next seven battles... and they indeed all were won. Like in my Orion... did 65k damage and a sinker, but got sunk when engaging five *cough* enemy ships... we were ahead far enough to win at that time though... or Yubari... only 22k damage and I lost a lot of HP due to bad positioning, but shooting down 13 planes (10 of them torpedo bombers...) was fun. Minekaze was also a success... 45k (exactly) damage done and a sinker... in my opinion, she's nearly as OP as the Kamikaze (*) even with her slower torps... at least if you have a 10+ pt captain in her Campbeltown... so underrated I guess... and still sometimes such a little beast... two kills and 43k damage done. Could have been more, if the game hadn't ended with us reaching the 1000 pts Vampire... oh my, I feel so dirty... but taking out this monstrous little sealclubber just feels too good... like.. doing 47k damage and a Kraken while being visible 75% of the time... doesn't matter that it only has this three-torp-one-for-one launcher... it still manages to hit them enemies... and if torps fail it's "dakka-dakka-dakka" time And now the above mentioned (*) Kamikaze... even more reason to feel dirty.... although I didn't even sink more than one ship... but 104k damage done (and seeing other people sinking my targets), some spotting, keeping half the enemy team from moving forward on one flank due to being in panic because of "torpedo spam" and then helping to cap (in standard battle) still feels sealclubberish... last battle as usual: Crispy Creme... dakka-dakka-dakka... taking one big ouchie... sitting behind an island and going dakka-dakka-dakka again... and in the end there's 39k damage done and a burner... sinker... whatever... and a win. The flight-angle of the Crispy's shells is absolutely terrific... Poor little enemy ships sit right behind an island, thinking they are immune to shells due to them nearly scratching the rocks... and then the stars fall from the sky and set them ablaze... The nastiest thing was, that I even scored three citadel hits with Crispy's HE shells... okay, granted, against an Emerald at 14 klicks range or so... but still... citadels with HE! So... weekend again... more low-tier sealclubbing to come then...

or have them torpedo bomber use "double load" for one attack.. so each drops two torps...

I bet he can't explain that... I did 167k in a Warspite... 159k in Bismarck (low... but I have also 125k spotting damage in her!), 193k in Fuso (the "shotgun ship") and even managed 166k in a Mogami... So 160k in a Yamato is extremely unimpressing... I expect to do better than that when I finally get her

especially all the DDs!

#1 - it's "rassistisch" with SS. #2 - yes, I've been a racist all of my life... 50m dash, 100m dash, 110m hurdles, I did them all...

Dear OP, the very first mistake you made when playing the Yamato was taking her for being a junk. She isn't. She's no chinese junk, but a japanese BB. I guess this might explain the problem You have doing the right things with her...

Königsberg, 'nuff... no wait... ain't go no nice screenshot, so I have to give some detail... Königsberg was among my "soon to be grandfathered" ships.. then I decided that 265 sounds not half as nice as 275 and rebought her... yes, I already had sold that precious little diamond. Today I played my 266th battle in her. Of course it was a T7 battle - what else, as George Clooney would say... - and after a couple of minutes I had been spotted and shotted and lost about 3/4th of my HP... time to run away and make good use of the two nasty backwards facing turrets... Some running away later, the battle ended with me alive and with three sinkers and 77k damage done. So my trust was rewarded.... Was the only battle worth mentioning though... played bad, still got carried to win four of seven... better battles tomorrow, I hope..
