I don't give a flying eff about an event, that happens at times when I'm not in the game (= evenings), but I'd volunteer to get my Kamikaze hunted by the whole enemy team... would be business as usual anyway

Would be easy if we just chose a really ugly emblem that all the forumites would use... so ugly, that nobody else would use it...

655 battles in DD 532 in Cruisers 1063 in BBs DD main... Yeah, sure... pull the other one, this one got bells on it... Oh and please play at least 1 battle more than I before You call me a "progressive". Weekend, the best time to play if You want to drag your winrate down. And yeah, I fit in here perfectly. Mediocre player, sometimes playing like a noob and sometimes like a Unicorn. Too bad You're hiding your stats... would love to see what You did in the Beta.

Not my experiece of T10 battles... Probably due to the fact, that I experience T10 battles from the "T8 DD/Cruiser/BB" standpoint, meaning my battles either are very short due to getting rekt very much filled with action due to trying to dodge shells to not get rekt sneaking around trying to find something to get rekt The fun part of T10 battles as a T8 is ending up in the #1 to #3 spots right in front of all those T10 ships in the result screen.

Wrong starting point... As a DD you are ALWAYS alone on the battlefield. ALWAYS! NEVER - never ever! - expect any support at all. all others whose ships are showing the same colour on the minimap are bots. Or potaotes. Or both. They will never give any support to you, as they are not programmed to support you. When starting a battle from this presumptions, you will never be disappointed because of getting no support, but, in the really, really, really rare case you get support, can be very happy.

I only get the "game ends without battle report" when I got rekt in a battle and immediately started another one. When this second battle then ends, it does not deliver a battle report. Oh, and I suffer from terrible lag and bad fps as soon as my wife - who's laptop is on the same network client - starts one of her idiotic browser games and gets flooded with video advertisements due to being on a "free to play" game... usually gets me sunk only once per day or so...

Nahh, of course not... you always ever get potatoes on YOUR team... on the opposing team they are just "easy targets"

Nothing has changed, there's still potatoes everywhere. You probably will fit in just great.

Vulture killing can win games... If you just kill enough, that is... I think that was a well thought of and helpful answer to this important new fact that new player brought to the public. Just remember, none of the long time players does play < T5 anymore, as they are all way to busy camping at T10

I admit, it feels as if it's 80% T10 as a T8, but if you'd really write down the numbers, you'd see it is not that high. Maybe 50% or so.. And come on, everybody enjoys being the T8 in a T10 battle and ending up among the top three spots of the team in the final result, ahead of most of the T10 BBs

One of the dumbest missions ever, as it would mean I would have to play my PADD more than needed to get the "win of the day with extra XP".

Just follow the motto: "Go to where the DDs go, but never eat the yellow snow!" unless you're in a DD... then you just go where YOU think you are most valuable for the team depending on your skill and ship. If you are bad in a DD, then getting rekt usually won't hurt the team much anyway.

There' several things wrong with your base position: There is no such thing as "team communication" unless you play in Clan Battles. I would bet that >80% of the players in all other battles don't look at the chat except right at the start. Just because some potato BB says "let's all go to a/b that doesn't mean it is really the best tactic for the map/situation. Especially in the case of DDs just "going with the sheeples" usually isn't a good course of action. You might rather think of it as "Go to where the DDs go, but never eat the yellow snow!" Battles are not lost because of one ( ! 1 ! ) DD going to the wrong cap, but because of the other 11 not going for their target hard enough. If that one ( ! 1 ! ) DD fails to take his cap and gets sunk, that is not really problematic. But when 11 ( ! 11 ! ) ships manage to fail to take a cap, with usually 3 or 4 of them getting sunk, then the feces hit the ventilator...

That really is debatable. 5 BBs per side in a battle means a really high chance of having at least 5 potatoes on your team... One can still do good in cruisers, even in the current meta... one just has to be a) more careful and b) stay behind the allied BBs... okay, that second one can be hard, but it works...

Potatoes don't read the chat or react on it anyway. except to spam "good luck and fair seas" and all the other BS at the start of a battle.

seems that allied BB did what I would do in such a case of "idiot friendly fire" - he just did not use repait to see you getting pink'ed.

In Warspite with the same average damage I get 0.98 kills per battle and 56% winrate. Survival rate is only ~30% though. Maybe being more aggressive leads to more wins? Dunkerque - 53k average damage, 54% winrate. 25% survival rate... again being more aggressive = more wins? Mutsu - 46k damage, 13% torp hit % (^^), 60% winrate, ~30% survival... being aggressive = winrar! New Mexico - 49k damage, 59% winrate, 35% survival... AGGRO WINS! See the problem with these statistics? Too many idiots hanging around at maximum range doing next to no damage, but surviving the battle, yelling at those who got killed because of no support" look how great we did, while you deadish people lost the game!!! Dunkerque is fine as it is. Just ltp issues... as with all ships.

Nah, that's wrong... player skill hasn't declined. Player skill, like human intelligence, is a limited resource. So with more and more players - and more and more humans - the same amount of skill - or intelligence - has to be divided among more people. But the total amount of skill - and intelligence - stays the same...

12 containers through mission 11 collection items - 1 double no ship missions don't care a bit, as it's only french BBs and they will be available in game soon anyway...

looks like an effing bonboniere - which of course makes it utterly perfect for a ship of the glorious french navy

awfully tough to get those pills in the USB port...

Luckily there aren't aht many of those around in the game...

I LOVE getting smoked up in my Bismarck with enemies within 11 klicks

I can assure You, sealclubbers don't need manual drop to club them seals. Even a Hosho can sink a DD with a well timed auto hammer&anvil crossdrop.

In my not so humble opinion a chance to get players away from BBs would be to no longer award stupendous amounts of exp for damage and only small amounts for the really vital things like spotting, tanking and just doing your effing job! But as this would mean that WG's largest part of the community - BaBBies - would suddenly no longer be able to get to T10 as easily as they are used to, this will never happen. Which, to be honest, is okay with me, as it means that BaBBies get to T10 fast and I can play at lower tiers with a higher percentage of good players.
