This. Exactly this... And as a proud owner of the Polish Blitz I can assure you, @ForlornSailor that in 90% of the cases BBs were my prime target for stealth fire, as cruisers were way too nimble to be shot at those long ranges. Those fat and clumsy BBs made perfect targets...

I usually look at the MM before every battle... often I scratch my head or shake it slowly a bit... and sometimes I let out a sigh...

any of them..

"meet people"??? "Make new friends"???? If I would want to do that, I'd leave my house and go to some spot where I could meet people... So for me, a good day in game means: 50%+ Winrate. That's the base line. The day gets better when I manage to sink someone I know through the forum manage to sink someone in an officially OP ship (Orion, Nikolai, Gremlin, Kamikaze etc....) manage to sink someone I know through the forum who is in an officially OP ship... That hasn't happened to me ever...

Is that in the line of some "God exists because you can't prove he doesn't" schmock? And as personal experience with being hit in smoke: I play DDs and RN cruisers A LOT and I never ever encountered a situation which would have lead to me thinking "Oh my, that guy must use some hax to hit me here in my smoke..." When it happens, it usually is because one of these chain firing guns, which gives your position away easily... shells already on the way when you smoke up... good guesswork by the shooter... (something I'm lacking at, and even though I managed to hit quite a few ships "blindly" in smoke...)

I think you have to ask Admiral Yamamoto about the "how"

Where? Official statement from WG? Or some obscure source on the interwebz?

sounds extremely like an *edit

Not liking a game mechanic is okay... Whining about it in forum again and again and again and again and... etc. is a bit suspect.

& & I'm totally out of popcorn, so maybe You could take this comparing the length of organs used for reproduction into personal messages instead?

Considering the abilities of some players one meets in the game - PvP and PvE - fighting the bots is often much more competitive...

A bit... Maybe start a support group for all those "we's" - like... "Anonymous Detonation Victims" or suchlike... seems to help a lot in other cases of special problems?!? It might keep the flood of always the same posts in the forum maybe a tad bit smaller?!? And it would help when stating someone for a group of "we's"... You could then state it as "we, the ADVs think...." instead of trying to speak for rather undefined groups of "we's", y'know?!?

I play(ed) quite a few games... Ultima Online, WoW (World of Warcraft... the first WoW...) and a couple other MMORPG - Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Games; the first MMOs - and a lot other stuff.... Pentakill sounds like something that would happen in one of those "shooter games" that usually are played by people later going to school with an automatic rifle or suchlike, and no, I have never played any of those or been interedted to any... As I wrote, I am "oldschool" - my gaming started offline with the C64 (and shortly later Amiga) and slow games suited to old people like me... My oh my... hit some soft spot there, right? Don't worry.. I won't bother You again with my potato ideas... not that it would make any difference anyway, as neither me nor you will have any influence on WG on how to solve that "BB/BaBBy situation"

Please define "we", 'cause I'm at least are no part of it. I like detonations... Even though a couple days ago my nearly full hp Amagi got detonated by a single shell hit... I gave the shooter a friendly "darn laucker You are..." and switched to the next ship... Compared to being torpedoed by an allied player - usually a cruiser - getting detonated is much less annoying. So if "we" would want to get rid of detonations "we" should also get rid of getting torped by not too bright allies, too...

Seems You misunderstood my intent... With BBs being able to play a mode in which they only face each other, they would not have to wait long in a queue. Which is one of WGs arguments for not restricting their numbers in random battles to three per side. With this extra BB only battlemode, the hundredthousands of BBs could be easily restricted and nonetheless enter battles - among their peers - immediately. It's a win-win situation... especially for all other players, as BaBBies will probably flock in great numbers into these BB only battles, as they won't face HE spam, Torpedo Soup and Death From Above their... merrily shooting at each other from opposing map edges, hitting each other once in a while and smiling gleefully, whenever their main guns make Booooom! And no... they will not "just disperse in other classes". If they would, they would already have done, but they didn't, so they won't. Remember, we're talking about BB players here... and BaBBies in detail... they don't even know what "disperse" means or that they could do it to other classes. And in their mindset they couldn't, as other classes aren't so mighty and powerfully and guaranteed to win like BBs are... So special Battlemode for special players is the way to go!

Look at patchnotes update notes for next patch update, due on the 28th Dec and You'll see that it was indeed a bug and had nothing to do with anything player hardware/ping/I-net provider or connection or whatever Just a bug... and hopefully they found it and exterminated it...

sorry, I'm oldschool... I don't know nothing about League of L... whatever.. Can You maybe explain it in WoW terms? I mean the other WoW... the one with Elves, Dwarfs, Orcs etc... I can only guess You mean it's a bit like those WoW Random Instances, where a bunch of people is queueing to get into one of those "dungeons" as a group... Warriors/Paladins (Tanks) and Priests (Healer) get instant groups, and all the DDs - no, not ships... Damage Dealers, like Rogue, Hunter, Mage, Warlock etc... - have to wait a bit longer in the queue..

Tomorrow, tomorrow, just wait for tomorrow... it will be a whole new world.... wait... what? Not tomorrow but the day after tomorrow? Darn... just wasted a songline...

You didn't look at his stats, right? There probably is no way for him to ever be able to "feel relevant" in any BB. Dude... the one and only "Fat Lady" in the game is the Warspite. All others might be "voluptous" or maybe "a tad bit overweight" - but only the Warspite is THE (!) Fat Lady... and everybody knows, no battle is over 'til the Fat Lady sinks!

soooo... how long would I have to be inactive to get this incentive, too?

The solution would be soooooo easy... restrict BBs to a mx of 3 per battle to keep waiting times for BBs low, insert new battle mode for BBs only. Where they can shoot at each other 20 minutes long from the map edges ??? winrar!

Well, I usually play "operations" - if that's the PVE missions where you can get rewards for getting "stars" - only until the first time I get a five star win. I'm playing with random teams nearly exclusively, and it's way too frustrating to see people fail against those bots... So no, can't say I really "like" operations... And if anyone wants to know what I like in the game: sinking other people... or detonating them... 'cause it's fun!

sooo... you get a "Welcome back" present, even though You haven't even been away for more than one day in a row? Cool... (Nothing against you... cool that you got something... it just makes this "welcome back" thingy a bit more strange...)

Easy explanation: in 90% of the battles you get no support when trying to compete for a cap in an IJN DD. So there is usually only one way to go: go for cap wait if any enemy turns up if so, hope he's dumb enough to get torped smoke up when he isn't run like crazy... Works not so bad... at least on lower tiers. Really sticking in a cap and trying to "compete" only works rarely, even when there is support... IJN DDs are kinda.. squishy.

What this guy below said: I'm just a really mediocre BB player.... and even I manage to get twice as much damage as You with some BBs and a lot more kills. Maybe you should either get closer to where the action is, enhance the chances to score some (vital) hits or stop playing BBs I'd advocate You to do the second....
