Uhm... yeah, sure.. I'm THE GREATEST WG FANBOY EVER... not... lol... And no, You don't seem to play "the game how you want", because if You were, You wouldn't be whining here. For me it seems You're wanting to play chess but using dice rolls to decide which figure wins when two end up on the same square... To play at lower tier no Premium, tons of premium ships or captains or whatnots aren't needed. It's enough to have a couple ships and captains and just play the fu**ing game FOR FUN. No need to go to Campertier 10 where most of the fun gets destroyed.. But that is the one easy solution to your problem which you don't want to take. Instead you whine here. And get pi**ed and pottymouthed. Which doesn't help you a bit with your problem. But suit yourself... just go on... will not change anything, but maybe you feel a bit better after whining some more

So you seem to be one of the fools who thought that T10 would be full of more qualified players and stunning gameplay? And now You're disappointed and not ready to the part of the game that still is fun? Well.. Idgaff... you don't want to take the available solution to your problem, so don't whine.

Which is now easily explained if he's american...

fixed that for you...

I just had the unfortune to join @ColonelPete in a lost T8 battle... him in a Via Veneto ending at the 4th loser team ranking, me in my trusty T6 Furious ending at the 3rd loser team ranking spot with four sinkers to his zero... not his fault, as the team s*cked royally...

Had five good battles today, even I only managed to win three of them... Got a 50:50 in the Krispy Kreme, with only 1 enemy ship sunk in two battles, and that even in the one that I lost. In the other I managed a shipload of damage, but didn't managed a ship kill, while taking 15 planes instead... I also had a 75K damage, 1 sinker (BB) battle in my Leone which was lost due to the team throwing the battle away... With the T-61 it was another win with 76k damage and 3 kills (two DDs and a BB) which showed that some people still don't seem to know that german DDs got Hydros... Aaaaand the funny battle of the day... Okhotnik Domination Battle on Fault LIne, with me starting on the western side of the northern map half. Had a Nicholas at my side, a König behind us and an Emerald moving to our help. The Nicholas sailed straight for the A cap, while I took a slight detour below the bigger island beside the cap. So when the enemy DD (a Skane IIRC) took a spot above that island I managed to slip around it undetected... at least until a was so far around it that I could launch torps... which made the Skane go "boom..." Next I had to dodge some shells from a german cruiser and a couple BBs while taking the cap, but got out of that fight with my pride and half my HP intact. Leaving that Cruiser and BBs to the Nicholas - still alive - and the König - Emerald had the unfortune to be brave and got punished for it - I concentrated on taking the cap until I saw a Gneisenau sneaking closer from behind another island. Luckily - for me - my torp launchers had reloaded and I could use the island between me and the Gneise to get in range (4.5km...) without the Gneise being able to shoot at me. Next thing the poor Gneise player saw was some 12 torps coming his way of which enough hit to make him go "booom". Second DevStrike achieved... With our team ahead by a lot I got a bit too cocky and got sunk on the way to the B cap... Still... 82k damage done, two sinkers... Okhotnik is always a bit hit or miss it seems... I either get a great battle or a really sh*tty one. This one of the better ones...

+1 Still whining about dumb names should still be allowed

Gun bloom of bigger and smaller calibres has been discussed for years and WoWs seems to not to be inclined to change anything, even when good ideas were proposed (like 5 sec + (gun calibre in cm seconds) which would help smaller calibres going undetected faster with larger guns having no chance to go undetected when firing continuously) Won't happen.. Instead we get cruisers calling in airstrikes because... well.. reasons...

wow... compared to that the CV reeework seems... balanced. Nearly. Well, kinda... At which tier those stealth bombers come into the game? T8? T9? Just so that I know which tiers to evade when they get into the game...

So the Welthund is Swiss and the other two are more or less regional "Geistergestalten" (ghosts) that aren't really known except for the Grimm Brothers and some Linguists from the 1930's. Ah well... probably copyright reasons or whatnots...

Welthund (Worldhound?) - yeah, sure... Feuerputz (Fire...whatever...?) - uhm, nope... Glühschwanz (Glowco.. uhm.. Glowtail?) - number three of "utterly stupidly named and never heard of famous german mythical creatures" Looks as if some russian trainee with only marginal knowledge of the english language used google translate to give their idea some kinda german-ish names, with google translate only getting one out of four kinda right.. But hey, it's only german... so of course nobody in the russian wows HQ will give the slightest of f**ks about what damage they did to the german language with this...

Easy to explain: I rather play T5 than go camper hunting at T10

Can I haz has a T5 DD with 3 single torp launchers with that 11 sec reload plz? And maybe 10 km range to go with it?!? Oh the lulz....

WR > dmg/PR by miles... All those "Well, I didn't win the battle but got a ton of damage done... again..." players are utterly frustrating to the players in their team. A CV player who ignores what he would have to do to win the battle but only goes to damage dealing, without being able to do enough damage (and sinking of enemy ships) to have the battle result in a win is a bad CV player. Nearly as bad as those camping BaBBies who survive a lost battle with 80% of their HP intact and tons of (mostly HE) damage done late in the battle.

I'd even enhance that penalty to "no reverse movement unless beached" And make "breaking" harder... No slowing down to 0 from full speed in a couple seconds.

Won 10 of 17 battles today, after doing good or bad in them, like in those that I lost... But one battle stood out a bit... Got in a T8 battle with my T6 Monaghan. It was a Domination battle (forgot which map though...) and of course the enemy team had a (T8) Shokaku... There were three DDs per team and I spawned in the middle position, but I didn't head to the B cap immediately, because... well, planes... but when it seemed obvious that the enemy team went for the A and C cap and RPF showed me no enemy ship near B I went in and managed to cap it unmolested. Got utterly ignored there... not a single plane coming my way... wow... I thought... time to have a look at that Shokaku... So full steam ahead, damn the torpedoes and go boldly where no DD should go alone... and only when my RTS lit up the CV he seemed to notice the danger and started sending planes my way. And I could see an enemy Dallas going to support that CV, but I knew I still had the chance to get it. And yes, when I got past that island there it was, shiny, new and undamaged... well, at least until I started shooting and launched torps - even when my first spread missed *cough* but gods bless the Torp Reload Booster - and launched more torps, dodging planes and shells and finally watched my torps send that damn Shokaku below them waves... I tried to run, but a Talinn had joined the Dallas, and together they managed to take me down. And of course a player in a X-mas tree camo'ed Vladivostok who had spent the battle to that point near the spot where spawned started complaining in chat about what I had done... idngaf and in the end he seemed helped winning the battle for us... For me, there was a solo cap, a sunk T8 CV commanded by a potato, 53k damage done and 18 planes shot down... t'was a good battle...

IIRC one had to gather a couple hundred pearls or whatnots over a limited timespan... wasn't that difficult, so I think there were tons of players who got one... And on my second account I got a Kamikaze from a supercontainer a long time ago... So yeah, there's proabably quite a few Kamikaze (R) and Fujin around. And some might even be in able hands...

Krispy Kreme was the first ship that I got in the game from a supercontainer... At that time I thought the game was trying to troll me... ... 974 battles later she's my most played ship, with a 54% winrate (yeah, not glorious, but it's the KK, right) Oh, and I made a habit to give a +1 to any player in a KK that I meet in game...

The concept is the same in both games, only the detailed mechanics are different.. and seem to work in WoWs in the favour of the smaller ships which of course is more appealing for those favouring bigger ships..

AFAIK spotting in WoWs is handled exactly like this, except for the spotting ranges for most ships are way larger than the visibility ranges of most ships. A Minekaze for example can only see ships up to about 13 km, while a Fuso can see ships up to 28 km away. Of course only when either their visibility is larger or they are spotted by an allied ship that is within their visibility range. Easy to see in game, as on the minimap there is an about 90° angle shown marking the Line Of Sight for your ship...

Hier ist noch einer... auch wenn ich jetzt im fränkischen Asyl lebe... for those non-germans here: I outed me as another Brunswicker, living in Franconia now... And "Heinrich der Löwe" would have been a nice name and way better than "Hannover"... the town were the first buttress for the ramp of the direct autobahn Braunschweig-Tokio will be build...

So You want to have surface ship players have to manage steering, shooting main guns AND manually shoot at planes in a game, in which CV players can play automated CVs that douse fires, start fighter planes and whatnots like a good little bot and only have to look for setting their course properly and control the attakc/bomber planes? Yeah, sure... in a 1 vs 1 that might (!) be managable... But manual AA in a normal battle? I'd rather not have that, thank you very much...

WoW and WoWs... Leroy "Leeeeeroy" Jenkins and that other Leroy Jenkins from the Kidd... Someone who played both games and knows the meme probably will always that "Leeeeeeroy..." sound in his ears when the name is mentioned in forum or in the game.

I wonder how many people know why Leeroy " Leeeeeeeeeeeeeroy!" Jenkins is famous. And how many would put him on a BB and act appropriately... Leeeeeeeeeroy! Oh.. and how much WG did pay to allowed to use that name in a game that uses nearly the same abbreviation than the one where Leroy Jenkins became famous in...
