Somehow I am a bit bothered by this part. Automatically making the move from "retarded players" to "people with cerebral palsy" sounds wrong to me. I would never even think about calling someone with a serious illness "retarded". But I assume those players who are titulated as "retarded" usually are of quite good bodily and mental health, but nonetheless manage to play as if they have not been awarded a brain at birth. So, I'm a bit worried that you seem to automatically make a connection between "retarded" and "cerebral palsy". You shouldn't do this. You should know better.

As I mostly play DD and cruiser it gets a little bit annoying trying to dodge 16 shells coming at me with a spread that reminds of a cruiser.... but it's a BB from 15km away. Not funny.

Betatester starts post with utter BS, as damage-% of a target is more important than damage itself. 100% of sunk DD = 100% of sunk BB. So getting exp/money is easier by sinking DDs did not read further...

I'm playing a lot.... and I'm playing a lot DDs... and I never (!!!) had the chance to stay within 10km of an AA bubble if I wanted my team to win the game. BBs stay so far behind usually that any cruiser getting close to a cap will be focussed by the enemy team. To win this "focus battle" the DD has to go forward to spot, as the CV usually is busy sending his planes along the map edge to snipe the enemy CV... So no, in random battles I do not think this playstyle would be possible or achievable.

Sorry, but I am so special, I don't like to mingle with others...

Nah... they implemented the Orion as punishment for all those Nikolai players, who thought themselves to be invulnerable... Boom comes the MoO (Master of Orion) and Nikolais start to burn down like candles left and right... I wonder though, what You might be able to do in the Bretagne... 86% winrate (okay, 7 of 8) looks nice, too... I got her through one of the containers missions, so the only battle I did in it was with a fully researched ship, but she felt like a beast to me. First attempt in a new ship and sinking 3 enemies (two of them DDs though...) and doing 69k damage was a bit of a surprise... the last time I had that was when I started playing... yepp, exactly.. the MoO Is Bretagne as OP as MoO?

The main problem with BBs is, that players with an IQ lower than that of the average cabbage tend to see BBs and "big HP, so I don't get sinkered... many big guns that make BOOOOM! a lot... big names they recognise from TV/Movies..." and all other classes need at least a minimum amount of brains to be not instantly deleted when facing the enemy. So there is only one obvious choice for all the incompetent player: get a BB. Possibly a T10 BB, as thery have the most HP, make the biggest Boom and have the most known names... I guess, if there would be a BB named Titanic these type of players would flock to it in an instant... So the class, which is important to win battles due to it's ability to soak up damage is in a majority of cases played by people with the least ability to be successfull in this game, but they usually don't care, as these ships still make big Booooms and still have their big names... and more often than not the large amount of HP helps them to survive even a lost battle. Which can be seen by the fact, that quite many BBs with a <50% winrate have a higher than average survival-%. So the class, that is played by the largest amount of utterly incompetent players in WoWs is also the one which is present with the most ships per average battle. Which gives these players many opportunities to show their lack of brains to all the other players out there. And as you mentioned CVs and their importance for battles and the effect of having a potato CV in your team: As WG did their best to make CV play as problematic as possible, the players still ready to play CVs usually aren't potatoes. Most of them are even better than average players. And I would even say, that the % of Unicorns in CV is higher than that of unicorns in other classes. Which also is the reason, why some - average or even better than average - players seem to suck heavily when they have to face one of them Unicorns. Fun fact: As I play on medium tiers usually and all classes (though CV not that often anymore...) I can live with BBs usually being potatoes. When playing a DD they are my main target. When playing a cruiser, they are the ones to harvest damage (= silver and exp) on. And when playing BBs they are best, when they are borderhugging, so I can harvest DDs and cruisers without them interfering. So borderhugging potato BBs are great... okay, not so much when they are on your team... but as they would be utterly useless even when not borderhugging, it doesn't matter that much anyway.

Just met fellow SCRUB @Kostis_Larsson (in his Giulio Cesare) who divisioned with @We_Just_Dinged_Em (in a Kamikaze R) in the enemy team, while taking my Yubari for a ride... Those two (and my wife, who was watching videos on the interwebz again, making my ping go upt into the 1000ms+ regions every 20 seconds or so...) kept me from being effective Nonetheless I had the luck to end at the #3 spot of the winning team... Too bad I couldn't finish off the Dinger - - as he got nailed by someone else and Kostis was one of two survivors on the losing side.

Orion OP? Really? Who would have thought...

The only DD buff I would like to see is Minekaze getting back her pre-nerf torpedoes.

It is not "toxic" It is a vitally necessary learning process. It teaches them: "Right now you are a potato. Those who destroy you easily aren't potatoes anymore. Learn how to not be a potato." And of course it's quite a lot of fun to go sealclubbing... especially, when one uses usually UP ships to club them seals...

Because russians don't have an effing clue about american sports? Just check the number of russian natives in the NFL and there will be about as many as russian BBs actively engaged on the seas in WWII

& = Exactly. Especially in a BB that number should never get higher than maybe 100k or so, better when it's even <50k. Anything else means, you got close enough to enemies for them to shoot at you, which is something you have to evade in a BB at all costs. People shooting at you means your expensive paintjob might get scratched and the looks of your BB might get permanently ruined.

Update: Three wins in a row today with the Crispy Creme. Two in T7 battles - survived in both of them! - and one at T5 - where I didn't. Winrate is at 52% now - hooray! - and it is just effing fun to go full russian in this ship and shoot at anything red that moves - or even better, that doesn't move... In one of those T7 battles I even managed to secure the #1 spot in the winning team.. ~60k damage done, only one sinker, but nearly all that damage came from a french T5 BB that tried to solo cap and had to face my Crispy Creme at maximum range. I'm not sure, but I think I resetted those cap attempts about a dozen times or so... I really start lovin' this little firestarter...

The main reason is, that people playing only BBs are required to EDIT when playing WoWs. Due to all the HE fired at them, it might otherwise overheat and deliver them a fatal stroke. The danger for players who play different classes aren't as big, as most of them are not shot at with HE only, but also with AP.

140 hits done when battle ended with a win 140 onehundredandforty Eff that mission!

I think it's too funny that people seem to get chat banned for nothing, while me, always given tons of salt to my teammates whenever things get tough, never got chatbanned at all. Not once... probably I'm not playing good enough to deserve a chatban Guess I might probably get one these days, though, as today I titulated someone as having a not so nice historical political standpoint, which lead to that guy shooting at my BB with his St.Louis. Of course I didn't repair the damage, so after a while his selfdestruction started and - after he had a short engagement with an enemy - he continued to shoot at me and then went boom. The battle ended with a win and me having two kills and surviving... and the St.Louis at the end on the list... Nonetheless I guess I might get a chatban for that...

Had the displeasure to get annihilated by @AgarwaenME in a battle today. I only noticed him after he sank me, so here's a late "Hi, nice to meet you" At least I was able to give +Karma...

I only have a couple games in th Ibuki under my belt yet, but for me the Ibuki is a great step forward from the Mogami. At least the range is big enough to stay were she is supposed to be - behind the BBs.

I guess ya'll love this one then: Finland, Finland, Finland...

....and probably only 20k in french BBs, right? I think WG is doing a great job in fighting the BB flood, by releasing a new BB line and adding some special missions to be done with BBs to the list.

Add me to the list... with a ping between 30 to 60ms there are drops in the framerate from the usual ~60 to 30 and below...

Met @WolfGewehr in a battle today... too bad he was on the enemy team. He had the pleasure to sink me, while I had the pleasure to be on the winning side...

Petropawlowsk aka Marat aka Wolchow was not really sunk, as in "sunk and destroyed"... As Petropawlowsk she got torpedoed and put on ground in flat waters. And she was repaired and put into service again as Marat... which then got bombed by Ju.87s and, again, was set on the bottom in flat waters.. she even was able to act as defensive artillery... And, again, she was revived... now under the name of Wolchow, and she did service until 1953. So she might have been damaged near fatally, but she was never ever really destroyed. In my eyes a perfect example for the unsinkability of russian BBs.

Of course I can't call for BBs going through the middle first when I'm in a BB myself Yeah, that was a fun battle... I thought I'd buy the farm when I got all that lovin' from the enemy on the right flank, but for once I knew when to run away and for once there were others going forward to do the job... And changing to the other flank gave me enough time to heal all that fire damage I had taken... Wasn't a great game statisticwise, but it was a win... and a win is a win is a win.. Oh... and I only called for (EST) to go first, because one from Your clan was on the other team, IIRC
