Greatest achievement for me today was my first battle in a Yamato (on test server...) gaining "base" 150k (or so...) experience for sinking NO ship and doing about 60-ish k damage. Oh, and shooting down about 20 planes...

Had a nice match in my Cleveland today and was faced with a Tirpitz on the opposing team. That mother can take a lot of beating. I stuck around 70 HE shots in it and it just sailed on happily... On the receiving end, it took her quite a while to sink my Cleveland, as I was going straight after her, showing very liitle profile, so shells were killing lots of water all around me. So, I'd love to play one, but right now I'm not ready to pay too much for it. Instead I'd rather wait for the Bismarck...

No, I wouldn't - but usually a DD should be used to being circled (by other DDs usually...) in a knife fight... so he should be able to aim his salvos a bit better

That's about one of the dumbest DD drivers I've ever seen...

During 0.4.1 test I had a couple normal - non-ranked - battles with only 6 to 8 players per side... and depending on the map I liked them more than the usual - crowded - 12 vs. 12 battles. Especially in lower levels and the smaller maps smaller teams make a lot of sense IMHO. Most fun I had in a BB on Hotspot map, three cap domination mode with 6 (!) ships per team.

I had some of my "best" games - exp-, damage- and kills-wise - in losses or draws. Kinda like me sinking four or five opponents with the other eleven player sinking another two before getting sunk themselves... But most of the about 5% draws I got happened because of dumb play by one or more players on each side. Trying to cap too late... not capping at all... hunting the last enemy ship... stuff like that. Alas, players can rejoice - with 0.4.1. there will be a new "domination" mode with only two cap zones, which are already owned by each side at the start. Each team starts with a cap and 300 points, and gains another 3 points every 5 seconds unless their "own" cap is tapped or captured.

I've played several matches this weekend, where BBs ended up in the Top 3 points... so what now? Your "facts" vs. my "facts"? And buffing would be great - but there's no way to buff player's brains, or is there?

Wenn ich mir anschaue, was da zur Zeit an CV Fahrern unterwegs ist, gilt das mit dem Skill --> Random aber ebensogut für diese. Wenn es autodrop Nutzern gelingen würde aufmerksame Spieler mit einem Anflug ihrer Torpedobomberstaffeln zu versenken, so würde ich da auch ein Problem sehen. In der Regel sind es aber eher die etwas erfahreneren CV Kapitäne welche Dauergeradeausfahrer aus dem Wasser schubsen. Was ich unter "natürliche Auslese" verzeichne.

Game crashes at least once a day for me since 0.4.0 has been implemented. From what I read here on the forum, the "access violation" crash happens mostly (?) to players with an AMD CPU.

At least the ability for ships to dive is already implemented... Too bad there's still trouble with the ability to surface again...

I know that situation, OP, from both POVs - being the sender and receiver of torpedoes... so a +1 from me

I've got a 3.31 planes shot down per battle average, without the patch 0.4.1, so IMHO the Yubari is already a quite good support ship. The guns do quite well against DDs and other Tier 4 cruisers and can be quite nasty against BBs, causing quite a few fires. I think, people might have problems with her, as some people have problems with the Furutaka. Both aren't the standard cruisers... but both can do quite well if handled right. Kuma is nice... but Warspite is real nasty, if played right... But people and preferences are different, I guess

Only if the island is high enough... which they often aren't on several maps... And even then, those islands are the first place an enemy CV will search for you.

I started playing online games some 25 years or so ago... when I was 30 or so... ...community hasn't changed a bit since then.

There's an Ingame Report Option - use it. I guess WG can then also see what happened in chat before those shots were fired... BTW... what's an DD doing at that spot of the map at that time of battle? Trying to sink you some CV?

Jep, terrible nerf. Now you have to guess where the planes drop the torpedoes... no more sinking ships 30 yards besides an island...

Even with a slow CV you can move away from the places where everybody expects you to be. Being behind most of the small islands on the map does NOTHING for the visibility rating. And moving around the island so you can shoot at the CV takes nearly no time at all. So the only reason left why a CV hides behind an island is: Dumb Captain!

Das ist als Scherz gemeint, oder? Taktisch ausmanövrieren? Mit "hinter inseln Versteckern" und "zum Schießen Anhaltern"? Ist nur eine Variante des Domination Modus. Und den gab es schon auf dem Testserver als 0.3.1 getestet wurde - war aber für viele Spieler noch komplizierter als der "normale" Domination Modus, weil sie nicht kapieren, wie die Punkteverteilung erfolgt. Also daß man mittels Präsenz im gegnerischen Cap die Punkte-Ticks unterbrechen kann bzw. für das Erobern einer Base mal eben so 250 Punkte kriegt.

1. Lemminge sind niedlich... 2. Es ist blanke Erfindung, daß sich Lemminge Hordenweise in den Tod stürzen -> https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echte_Lemminge 3. Wahr ist, daß Lemminge während der in großer Masse durchgeführten Wanderungen oftmals zu Tode kommen. Insofern paßt der Vergleich mit den WoWS Lemmingen dann doch wieder

Naja.... So als BB kann man durchaus zwei Gegner gleichzeitig bekämpfen... Den Gegner VOR einem bekämpft man mit den Fronttürmen... wenn die abgeschossen haben, hat man 30 sekunden die hinteren Türme auf den Gegner NEBEN sich auszurichten und diese abzufeuern... dann wieder nach vorne etc. pp. Mir persönlich wäre es zwar auch lieber, wenn man Geschützgruppen festlegen und diese jeweils auf eigene Ziele "fixieren" könnte, aber sowas wurde von WG schon abgelehnt...

Naaaaah... can't be that high. I only have about 5.6% draws or so... I don't think the average will be much higher than 7 or maybe 8% And usually there's only two reasons for a draw: players being frightened by a bad MM so one team stays close to the starting point and playing not aggressive enough, with the other team not taking that chance, because they also don't play as aggressive as they would have to win and players going YOLO and getting sunk, making the survivors losing faith and - again - not playing aggressively enough or - yes, a third reason - players just being dumb, taking the long way along the map edge and forgetting about the time limit...

Let's not forget that many - and I mean MANY! - players who started to drive around in CVs recently do that because "CVs are totally OP!!!!111eleven!" and usually know nothing about HOW to drive around in a CV. I'm only a mediocre CV player at best, but even I sometimes would love to bump my head unto the keyboard when I see what those people do... BUT - and it's a big but - often people offer advise in chat that doesn't help a bit to better the situation... stuff like... yelling at a Langley/Bogue player that he should keep up with the fleet. Sure Sir, I just start the magical CV speed boost and be with you right away... telling a CV player where to hide his ship... like, behind some island near the spawn (first place an enemy will look for a CV)... or at the map edge behind the spawn (so far away from the action - due to slow planes - that the CV will be utterly useless)...

You did most of the damage - you get most of the Exp. Kill brings only a little bonus Exp, afaik. Yeah, dumb move by the CV to go for that near-sinking CV instead of the BB, but people make dumb choices in this game all of the time. Ne need to whine about it... IMHO there is no "kill stealing" in this game. Every ship sunk helps your team to win. Exp are rewarded mostly for damage done. Even a ship with only 1% health is as deadly, as if it had 100% - so to sink it ASAP is the best choice.

Anybody noticed that each team had a player with -1 kills in it? TKs - they are EVERYWHERE!

Ein "Lemming Train" - oder besser: Koordiniertes Vorrücken über eine Flanke - funktioniert insbesondere auf der Two Brothers Karte im Domination Modus sehr gut... Als erstes den nächstgelegenen Cap einnehmen und ggf. einen DD zu der Flanke schicken, über die der Pulk NICHT vorrückt. Danach dann im Uhrzeigersinn - oder auch dem entgegen - möglichst dicht um die großen Inseln in der Mitte herumfahren zum nächsten Cap... usw.. Klappt, wenn wirklich alle mitziehen, recht gut. Wenn nicht.. naja.. dann eben nicht
