I rather see it as the end of BB rear map edge camping... especially if torpedo reload boost is added to that.... Would be the first time, that BBs would have to evade torpedo soup by getting closer to the action

Slenderman!

well, 54% is my solo winrate... my division winrate is at about 80% or so... but as I played 8863 solo battles and 10 division battles that doesn't account for much But yes, division winrate as a rating for player skill is quite useless

Axeactly! And that 60% winrate guy can be a utter potato 40% of the time I got a 54% or so WR and I DO play like a potato quite often...

ftfy "The IQ of a crowd equals the IQ of it's dumbest member, divided by the number of people in the crowd" - Terry Pratchett (at least that's about what he meant)

Exactly what I thought when reading the OP

That's no cruiser - that's a Danae. You could citadel it by throwing wet sponges at it

*raises his hand* me Sir... I like standard battles way more than those three to four cap battles, where 60% of the team yell for "cap XXX" while they sit near the rear map edge themselves.... Don't know if you ever met me, though... I prefer standard battles over domination... I HATE epicenter mode... My main class are DDs btw. which kinda invalidates your argument, right?

To be honest, many of the things You describe are more proof for a really bad player than a bot. And to be even more honest, I sometimes wish I had more bots inmy team than the usual potatos..

That's probably one reason for a good winrate - no T10 means you keep away from the potatos maximus... the "Überpotatoes" in their T10 ships, who think of themselves as "great players" because they managed to die their soggy behinds into the end-level.

By that logic, the shells would travel fastest, if You were shooting them from behind Your target, right? Because shooting port guns at an target at starboard would mean negative distance...

When You check this you see my progress for the last week (or so..) As I'm trying to do the Yamamoto missions (with the few T8 ships I have...) I played T8 ships a lot, ending up in quite a few T10 battles. Fat chance to throw your weight around in those with a T8... And what can be seen from the stats for the ships used each day (by clicking "details") that I very, very, VERY often really suck hard... Those are the battles where I either take too many risks (like... going to cap in a DD and expecting cruisers and BBs to support me...) or that I got handed a really bad team (...that doesn't even manage to support a DD going for a cap or a BB trying to lead a rush...) In the end it all evens out around 55% which is quite okay for me as a solo player. Maybe it's time for an old proverb: "If RNGesus hands you a team full of potatoes, it's time to make a Shepherd's Pie"

Knowing WG, the Godot probably will be a BB

Tried that quite a while ago (sealclubbing account) and nearly was unicorned... With my original account (since Beta...) I can't compare to that. Even though there are phases of 65% or higher winrate... sooner or later the potatoes drag me down again.

But he's a weekend player... only plays on Caturdays

William Wallace Monument? Isn't that the horribly ugly thing that looks like Mel Gibson in Braveheart? 'Cause if it was, I would be shooting full broadsides at it whenever I see it...

means "was only allowed to test ships on the weekend"

sounds cool to me... *goes to check if CVs in port need a new paintjob...*

Doesn't need an Iron Duke to sink a Red October.. even the T4 Orion can do that.

And even a lot funnier is, that I don't really give a flying eff if it's a C or a G or whatever, as I will never buy that ship....

Seems italians don't know how to write (or rather: paint) a G - cause in both pictures the (wannabe) G looks like an effing C to me

soooo many ships I won't play

The problem for me is not that T8 ships can't compete in a T10 battle - they can... or rather, they could, if one wasn't teamed up with cute little kittens driving the T10 BBs.. I often wonder how I make it in my Bismarck one of the top 3 spots in the results screen in a T10 battle with 3 T10 and one T9 BB, that all end up behind me... And often enough near the end of the score list.. My very personal impression is, as soon as I choose a T8 to play, I have a 50% chance to end in a T10 battle. And in most of those battles I manage to get into the top 5 results, winning or losing. With quite a few T10 ships behind me... For me THAT is the reason why I don't like to be upgraded into T10 battles when playing T8

Is there proof that he did? Or is it just an assumption? He might have looked the other way all of the time...

As said above, I do not see a need for an even more restricted MM for the Mikasa. The number of battles I did in which the Mikasa was lowest tier BB is very limited. In most battles with her, she was the ONLY BB in the battle, among a bunch of T2 cruisers and DDs (and sometimes a few T3 cruisers/DDs) and she didn't fare too bad in that setting. Nonetheless would I appreciate giving the Mikasa the Targetting Modul 0 (from Katori/Yubari) even though that would be historically utterly inaccurate. But everything that enhances those secondaries would be pure fun.
