I'm absolute with you on this... as I wrote, it's an utterly dumb change

As the reason was supposed "sealclubbing" WASD hacks can be ignored. And, as has been said, even many "non seals" don't know sh** about WASD hacks... that's the reason why I always state I'm doing sealclubbing, when I end up with my Kamikaze in a T7 battle...

Of course the target might be a nasty sealclubber in his Yubari, changing "direction" on the map edge all the time, causing the BaBByseals shooting at him to go into a frenzy, due the shots missing, while Yubari's guns do their little "plnk-plink" damage and start fires every couple seconds... So yeah, it takes a bit of practice to hit targets on the map edge. And some players/ships are better to use the map edge to their advantage...

you could also park your ship behind that afk ship and wait to see it getting torped or sunk by stray shells aimed at your ship..

Uhm, I did.. once... when in a DD I got torped by an allied DD (in enemy cap.. he said he had "misclicked the button, as he wanted to fire at the mountain behind me with his guns" - yeah, sure... pull the other one, this one got bells on it...) and suffered only 9k damage... he turned pink immediately and - as I didn't repair - started to take my flooding damage, while I didn't take any further damage at all. I whined, begged me to repair, threatened to torp me again (!) and even tried that, before he got sunk, which made me repair, as now I started to take damage again... So yeah, it probably happened. And imho the people deserved it. And I see this new change as utterly dumb, as it only helps those [edited] players who torp allies on purpose to do more damage and annoy their "teammates" more.

You really get chatbanned for something like that??? That would be a very friendly version of me going salty. I'm usually very... open... when commenting about the skills of my teammates, in those cases when there are none... and yet I have never ever been chatbanned at all... curios and curiosser said Alice... Okay.. I will not talk about the two games I played yesterday. Not at all. Don't ask me about them. Just forget that there even was a day, yesterday... Today started a bit like yesterday though... Lyon - loss... Normandie - loss... Lyon again - another loss... and teams that probably would be finalists in Monty Pythons Upper Class Twit Of The Year Award competition. I guess I would have made it to #3 at least, too... At last, the third game in the Lyon, at least turned out as a win. Nothing to brag about, though... but a win. And the second battle in the Normandie gave me another win. Again, nothing fancy, but a win.. From then there were a battle in the Gotcha Mama, where two enemy DDs were unlucky enough to not being able to dodge shells, and a cruiser showing the same symptoms of inability. Only 31k damage, but three kills and two caps giving me 14k experience (with flags, bonusses, bells and whistles..) Time for some sealclubbing and testing the Orion Nerf again. And yes, it's a horrible nerf. Really, really horrible.. Although I expect the two (I think) DDs I sank might see it a tad bit different. Sinking DDs doesn't give much damage done though, so only 48k damage, but three sinkers total. And finally... Crispy Creme... this time as high tier ship (among many other T5 ships, a couple T4 and - on each side - a poor T3 DD divisioning with a T4 cruiser and getting dragged up into painland territory... The battle went as always: start shooting as close to enemy territory as possible right from the start. Wait 'til the yellow "!" shows up and find an island to hide behind, without stopping to fire away at anything a) in reach and b) being able to get targetted... I didn't manage to sink anything in this battle, but 48k damage in the Creme is Unicorn Level - at least, that's what WoWS Stats says - and seeing enemy DDs getting nervous, when a rain of shells from 12 klicks away starts to come down around them is just too funny... especially, when even these shotgun-scattershots manage to do a "plink" of damage once in a while and then even start a fire... Even better is seeing BBs just sailing straight on through this hailstorm, ignoring the "plink-plink" as 60% of the shots miss them.. and ignoring the fact, that every 3rd or 4th "plink" starts another fire... Crispy Creme right now is my "LOLship" - win or lose, it's always just pure fun... the only thing that could make it even better, would be to have a spotting plane available to plink away on even longer range... Edit: oh.. forgot... it was a win.. so with todays battles and those from yesterday added in, I'm at a nice 50% winrate over both days

Uhm... nope? Seals can be cluubed really, really good using autodrops. In fact, it's a much more relaxed clubbing, as you don't have to watch out for strafing fighters (unless when teamed up into strafing territory) and you don't have to micromanage your drops, but just set up the TBs and adjust the drop circle a little. Hammer and Anvil with two TB squads works greatly with autodrop... So that "autodrop stops sealclubbing" argument is utterly wrong.

There is no "Carrier Problem". Every little... disharmonic... will be solved in 2017 2018, the Year Of The CV (YOTCV)!

Dude, You played a Kacka... what did you expect to get called? When I'm out with my DDs I always have a little tourette attack when a Kacka is in the battle on the other side...

Yester-fri-day I had only time for five battles. Should have not played... two battles in Normandie. 57k average damage, but zero kills.. and two losses one battle in the Garuda Mama... 55k damage and three kills... and a loss one battle in the Lyon - shi**y shippy - with 50k damage, no kill, but a win and the Crispy Creme battle of the day. 54k damage, one kill and a win Nonetheless that makes just 40% winrate... but an average damage of 55k makes that looking a bit weird. Today it went a bit better.. ...though it started really meh... 77k damage done and 3 kills in my battle in the Lyon... still was a loss, as in an very close battle the last enemy - CV - managed to torp the only ship left from our team - except for me - which was our CV, who had been out of planes for 5 minutes already, and then followed me closely, while I was engaging an enemy Lyon and a cruiser - sank both - and then went looking for the enemy CV. Our CV had been too close to me - and the enemy cruiser - and caught a bit of fire. And the enemy CV was smart enough not to waste his planes to try to torp me - with 60% hp or so - but went after our CV instead, who managed to get torped and hull breached and went down exactly 5 seconds (!) before the battle ended due to time... so we went from being ahead by points to being - ta-dum-tssssss - being behind exactly 8 (eight....) pts while the last ticks ticked down... had to +Karma the enemy CV of course... second battle was in Normandie.. 75k damage, a sinker and a win... nice battle in Garuda Mama got me a win, 34k damage and two sinkers... also nice... took out Orion for a ride - to check how nerfed she is - and only managed 33k and two kills in a win. Yes, feels nerfed... I went sealclubbing a bit in my Yubari - no CV battle.. - and got oneshot by an Red October... but had done 24k damage already and our team won clubbed more seal in the Katori... only one though.. but 47k damage due to burning ships everywhere - and a win and before I had to prepare dinner, there was enough time for the Crispy Creme Battle Of The Day, netting me another 60k damage, a sinker and a win in a mostly T6 battle, where each side had a T7 DD. Had a lot of fun sitting behind an island and plinking away at every enemy that was a) in range and b) targettable from my safe spot. I got a bit sunk in the end, but the battle already was won with only three enemy ships remaining and six or so alive on our side and a couple 100 points being ahead... and yeah, for once it really turned out well. Winrate of 85% and 50k average damage done... and a couple more sinkers than the day before... making it 66% for both days together. Seems okay for the start of the weekend

So, from now on You're no longer Abu but Hodor, right? I only had time for 5 battles today and that didn't work out too well... first a win with 50k damage done in the Lyon. Still don't like that ship... two losses in the Normandie with an average damage of 57k - potatoes did potate too much though and I played like them... 55k and three kills in the Garuda Mama and it still turned out a loss.... can't really say why people throw away games like that by doing the utmost stupid and tactically dumb things... and the daily Crispy Kreme battle... a win with a sinker and 54k damage done... burning BBs and cruisers everywhere... so much fun!

Sounds ok to me...

Yeah, do that... best set fixed times, to people can use their Orions to show you personally how terribly nerfed it got...

There is no unlimited amount of 6 pt captains needed by me. And, as said above, it makes looking for a certain captain you want to assign to a ship a bit more tedious (like having to go through a list with 234 unneeded 6 pt captains while looking for the 8 pt one you want to train...)

Well, there is no reason why T10 at ranked should be different than T10 at random - it's the same potatoes after all... T10 potato theory:

But take your time to look who's the ship's commander... might be a big surprise if you target someone who knows what he does... And yes, that nerf was a terrible one. Couple days ago I did a battle with my Orion and barely managed 100k damage and two sinkers - one DD among them... - which made me feel terribly helpless and underarmed...

So instead of Mr. Peeman we get two quite useless brothers? Not cool, bro, not cool...

I nearly started an thoughtfull and detailed answer to this, but then I saw... ..so it would be a waste of time. Instead I just leave this here: What the internet is for

#1 - not a problem of the game, but of too many potatoes in the game who don't have a clue of game mechanics and sometimes even think that damage has to be costly repaired... #2 - some high tier cruisers are more vulnerable than some mid-tier cruisers. Not all cruisers are the same. Nürnberg and Königsberg for example can be citadelled by snowballs, some mid-tier russian cruisers are citadelled by nasty looks thrown at them and others are nearly uncitadellable *looking at you, Cleveland...* What really makes the difference is the skill and experience of the people controlling the cruiser. #3 - of course few cruisers survive a battle. They are the ones doing all the work, together with DDs. BBs just idle along at the back, trying to not get shot at - repair bills, remember? - and often do just nothing.

Because due to not being able to avoid fulfilling those ARP missions I ended up with 10 quite useless captains, which made transferring the usefull captains to other ships a pita. And I only need one Kongo clone, not four or five... So: sell them off... just to get rid of them. No, I call black people "extremly pigmented" and I know for sure that some, but not all germans are rightwing material, because I am a german myself. Alas, I don't have an effing clue why you came up with the above, because I just stated a fact and - other than you - didn't even use derogatory terms to do that. So, if you can't post something without acting like the backside of an donkey, please don't post at all..

I think that is a quite unfair remark. I've seen many bots playing way better than OPs stats seem to imply how he plays.... First entry on WoWS Stats&Numbers from the 08th of April shows a winrate of 47%. Now you're down to 42% Is a decline of 5% good or bad? I guess that's for you to decide... But whatever you may think, please play a couple hundred battles in Co-OP before you take your poor ships to Random battles again. Your average damage with all of them is way below that what the usual potato would achieve. And taking a T8 -Kii - out into combat with the lack of skill you show should be punishable, as it's utterly unsportsmanlike to you team members in those battles. Some might expect you to "do the job" and you definately don't. If you want to go on playing the Kii, then please do me the favour to always be on the opposing team in case we meet. Or, if you happen to be on the same team as I, please just go afk, as that would probably give a better result for the team than you "fighting" in the battle.

Remember how long it took to make players able to sell those ARP ships and release those captains and how often players asked for those options here in the forum? There's probably more people waiting for some more historically relevant ships instead of spaceships and those girlships.

I'd rather have his First Lieutemamt Hellmuth von Mücke or Karl August Nerger, captain of the SMS Wolf (IV) And if there's problems with the "real names" just call them Hellmuth von Wespe and Karl August Berger. Edit: Alas , I forgot... there can of course be no german war heroes (even if they were recogniced as such and respected by their war time opponents) as we germans are always the villains (which isn't that far from the truth globally, except for some individuals who definately weren't)

You should add a #4 to that list: 4. why would the average player give a flying eff about why or why not any japanese manga company would collaborate with WG as most don't even know those manga or, if they do, only are interested in the hentai pictures that can be found on the interwebz

No, you have not. One T6 cruiser. Two T4 BBs So it's not a thing about upgrades or anything, but probably just a LTP thing.
