Nope.. but at the same time not everyone sees the Big 10 as the main goal in life, so your statement was a wee bit to global for my taste

Uhm... nope.. I rather have a little bit of fun in the game instead of having to go through the campfest meta of T10

Aaaand the third day in a row with a 100% winrate - Yay!* Okay-ish battle in the Furious, with meh 42k damage, no sinker and more meh 1.2k PR. But it's good for the Furious' winrate Okay-ish battle in the Krispy Kreme, with 42k damage, 3 sinkers and a 3.4k PR. Also a win... Then I did a couple CoOp battles in my Black Massa to get the last credits and damage I needed for the Italian BB missions. At least in CoOp going in really close while secondary specced still works nicely, so the missions were finally done... * aaaand then I tried the new ship... in a random battle, 'cause, hey, I know how to BB, right? Well.. turned out that having suicidal DDs and a CV who, even with a 54% average winrate for the account and nearly 60% in that Shokocola can utterly f*ck up, ignoring enemy DDs, not spotting sh*t and being utterly useless, even he managed to get a T8 battle for his T8 CV... So at first I tried to help defending a flank on which our DD suicided after three minutes, which wasn't helped by the single cruiser on that flank suiciding a minute or two later, leaving three BBs - including me - against two invisible DDs, three BBs and two cruisers. Our CV took one look on that flank with some torpedo bombers and then went damage farming on the other flank where, nominally, our team should have been able to advance due to superior numbers. Just that they advanced in a such brainless fashion that the enemy team was able to pick them off one by one, even though they lost the flank in the end. But only two of our ships on the flank survived and got finished off when they decided to take the B cap (domination battle on Two Brothers btw). After that only our CV - without a kill until then - an Andrea Doria and my Franz Caratrollo were left, while the enemy team still had their CV, two DDs and two BBs. One DD went to the A cap, the other and the BBs entered the C cap, before I was able to leave it, taking me out when I tried to defend it. The Andrea D. tried to go through the channel, managed to get stuck and torped by the enemy CV. Our CV managed to sink a badly damaged enemy BB, but soon later the battle ended due to the enemy reaching the 1000 pts. I'd rather not post my stats for that battle, 'course they were horrible and fitting for the Team Performance... and of course it was good bye to the 100% winrate for the day and hello to 66%.. ah well... not too bad either, right?

syntax error... can't compute... redo from start...

I miss the option to turn off special (ugly...) camos for single ships, not for all... 'cause I really like my "Southern Dragon" camo. But all other of these "patriotic" (which rhymes finely with "idiotic") camos are just... urgh... In the other WoW (the fantasy MMORPG) they implemented for armour to make it suit the taste of the wearer. You got the option let each item that your figure wore look as another similiar item in your posession... In WoWs that could work by adding a "pure grey" camo, that could be activated for the looks, showing instead of whatever buttugly graphic designer wet dream one uses for the stats.

as I drive my ships with the arrow keys, I put all consumables on the number pad, like I did with the ammo/torp change, alternate view and about anything what I need in combat...got used to that layout in other games...

I have to inform you that an only 92% winrate in CoOp is close to potato level because of... ...this

I'll do just a little bit of copypasta for today, with some minor corrections due to slight differences: I managed a 100% winrate today... and I didn't even only play CoOp for the Italian BB Missions... CV Research "Furious" Chapter... <snip> Got a T6 battle today and was able to do a shipload of spotting and sunk two enemy ships - poor little BaBBies that didn't tried to dodge, even though they had enough room and no other enemies threatening them.. getting three torp drops on each with a single flight made me feel nasty... and it was kinda weird to see two faildivision T4 CVs getting pulled in a T6 battle... or kinda satisfying.. depends on the POV I guess.. So 2 sinkers, 59k damage, 2.5k PR and a win... In my Krispy Kreme on the other hand I really, really, REALLY had no need to worry a bit or have to work hard. I sunk one of those pesky enemy DDs, peppered some BBs with HE and watched how my teammates obliterated the enemy team all around me... I even managed to get some shots and hits on the enemy CV, but the battle ended before it could get too serious... 24k damage, one sinker, 1.6 PR and a win... All others battles today I did in the Hill Monaghan in CoOp, which is one of my "go to ships" for CoOp missions... torps with decent reload.. fast loading guns... long lasting smoke... WG bots as opponents... all checks out... I only added a few one more CoOp battles in the Monaghan Black to my day, just because... Winning all of those battles wasn't a feat, but for once I also survived all of those... 8? or so.. battles. and I managed only get sunk once Guess I'll make it to the end of the mission chain in time... two parts done, two missions to go...

Like was Krispy Kreme... and, do You see ME crying? And yeah, I AM crying... my poor little baby got crippled by that sh*tty captain reeework...

Looks - by the stats - like the average WoWs potato of I meet anout 14 (own and opponent team) per battle recently. Ok, the movement pattern looks kinda suspicious, but there's no bot needed to start a battle, hit the "full starboard/port" button and "full throttle" key and then go and watch some educational videos about the reproduction habits of homo sapiens... Yes, making it into silve league like that would seem improbable, but on the other hand, many of the players going into ranks don't have really much better winrates either and still manage even further up, as their opponents are equally skilled... and sometimes they get lucky and get a player or two to carry them... or just out-potato the enemy team... So.. yeah, looks utterly normal and utterly frustrating at the same time to me...

Count me in... Or T3 for all classes... time to take my Vampire out for some fun then...

It's not "great AA" that kills planes - it's potatoes playing CVs and the nice "catch all of the little black clouds" that makes it look as if some ships have great AA

AFAIK they promised an about equal time as low, mid and high tier battles IN ALL TIERS after ~20 battles, not only restricted at T10 The only problem was, they didn't define these "~20 battles" They didn't define if it was "20 battles with the same ship in a row" or "20 battles with a Twhatever ship in a row" or "20 battles in a row, independed of ship and/or tier" so trying to reproduce what their "promise" and MM changes really do is impossible. For me, who usually jumps through several ships in my harbour, without touching one twice, it usually is: a shipload battles as low tier, few as med tier, fewer as high tier. Like before those announced MM changes.

I managed a 100% winrate today... and I didn't even only play CoOp for the Italian BB Missions... CV Research "Furious" Chapter... Got in a T8 battle once more... with even one of the enemy DDs being T8 (Orkan IIRC) and didn't expect to get anything done. And I wasn't wrong... no sinker, only 9535 damage, 609 PR... but not only because I had a bad game, but my team was just storming over the enemy Blitzkrieg-fashion... the enemy ships got sunk faster than I was able to get my sloooow british planes to them. Got a bit damage on the second enemy DD - a Fubuki - when the battle started and some bomb damage (and a bit fire) on a french cruiser and then the battle was over... well, a win is a win is a win... or so.. In my Krispy Kreme on the other hand I really, really, REALLY had to work for that win. Okay, it was only a T5 battle, but with a nice T4/T3 fail division on each team. Ours was a Campbeltown, that spent the first 2 minutes afk and then suicided in the first enemy cruiser it got in it's sight - gone after 4 minutes or so... Luckily I already sank an enemy DD at that time already, too.. In the end I managed to sink three of four enemy DDs... and did a nice bit of damage against them cruisers and BBs, too.. (92k overall..) and I even managed to not get sunk, even though I sailed happily straight ahead towards one of the last two surviving enemy BBs - a New York - who probably wasn't happy about this sh*tty little russian cruiser bouncing most of his full salvo and annoying him with a torp enough, making him turn his broadside to one of my allied BBs, resulting in a satisfying "Boom..." Did I mention I also got two cap assists and a couple defends? Well, as I wrote, I had to work for that win... and the 5.7k PR for that win. All others battles today I did in the Hill in CoOp, which is one of my "go to ships" for CoOp missions... torps with decent reload.. fast loading guns... long lasting smoke... WG bots as opponents... all checks out... I only added one more CoOp battle in the Monaghan to my day, just because... Winning all of those battles wasn't a feat, but for once I also survived all of those... 8? or so.. battles. Guess I'll make it to the end of the mission chain in time...

This is so far in the range of "absurd" that it doesn't really deserves a well-thought reply...

Could it have something to do with the italian BB missions being doable in CoOp maybe? At least that's the reason for me playing a shipload less random battles recently & I bet there will be people who will miss You. Or at least I guess there will... might... or not...

Maybe this is an indication of the number people - like me - who deactivate that useless horn effect, which is only used by mental kiddies "because it sounds cool" and/or to annoy other players?

Wouldn't it bit great if WG would manage to implement "retreating" by having ships that touch a mapborder for an extended time (like... 15 seconds?) taking out of the battle with a message for the player "You retreated from battle" and counting that ship as sunk for determing the score... All the lulz we would have... all the salt in forum...

Luckily Excavatus isn't. And on the utterly weird chance that You don't know what a "Moderator" (which Excavatus is) is: a volunteer who spends a part of his free time to make sure this forum isn't full of BS. And on the not so utterly weird chance that You haven't any of Excavatus' posts about CVs in this and several other threads: He's one of "us" - he agrees that the CV reework is basically a failure andisn't really good for the game - but he also has the opinion (as many other players) that WG will not change anything even players are a wee bit miffed, because for WG the reework did was it supposed to do (= slightly raise the number of CV players in the game and generate some income by sales of CVs)

But everybody knows, that those shares aren't really equally spread One might nasty enough to say, the bigger the ship, the smaller the wiener bigger the share... Yeah, I'd just LOVE the average 43% winrate DD to follow that guide... Fun fact: usually when I take out a BB for "get secondary hits" or some other stupid mission, I don't have to do those many battles, as the number of potatoes in CoOp is as big as in random battles, which means that of 4 DDs out to follow the above guide three are sunk before they manage to sink an enemy ship and the last one gets sunk because even against WG bots doing a suicide torpedo run often is exactly that... so DDs all gone, only enemy ship sunk = tons of targets left for me...

On the other hand, I am extremely anxious to see Epeencenter Mode on Two Brothers for normal random battles... seeing 23 players fail to understand this mode on that map would be utterly amusing...

Fixed that for You...

CoOp Campfest... Choose one of the two, as bots aren't really known for their camping ability... On the other hand, whenever I do missions in a BB in CoOp there are occations that make me want to have a "no DD mode" option for CoOp. But usually I still get them missions done - even the "kill x ships.." ones - because there's so many potato DDs in CoOp who get a single suicide kill and go back to the harbour, leaving some targets for me in my BB to sink.. When I'm in a DD though...

Sims = DDT it seems... played three battles in my Sims (with the AA consumable) and meet exactly zero CVs in those battles... got of course T8 battles and horrible teams as a reward, so only one of those battles ended with a win..

So after my daily CV battle - now featuring Furious (and a potato team at T7 leading to a loss...) - and a battle in my Krispy Kreme (and a potato team, which I graciously joined on equal footing = so playing like a potato myself... another loss..) I decided to go for the Captain exp I needed for the italian mission... So took my Hill out for a ride and managed two sinkers, 59k damage and 3k PR in a win. After that I tried my Monaghan twice, without success (and playing not good myself...) for two losses. Inbetween I also did a battle in my newly harboured Andrea Doria, in which I had to fight an uphill battle from the start, as several teammembers decided from the start to play as useless as possible. So even after sinking a DD and a Cruiser while trying to keep the enemy to taking a whole flank and after that defending the cap, doing about 70k damage in the end, I couldn't keep us from losing... So last chance for the get the needed captain exp: Ganja Mama... sorry... Gadjah Mada. Oh what a feast that was... I got lucky to get a non-potatoish team and also was mid tier, but also had the luck to get some really, really, REALLY BaBBy-ish BaBBies on the flank I took watch on. So after barely evading dodging death right when I got spotted when advancing, with a Jervis spotting me and a - luckless and radar-less - Cleveland behind it, I took a torpedo hit, while still managing going full dakka-dakka against those two and a Bismarck in range. The Jervis decided to leave that flank (?!?) for unknown reasons, while the Cleveland spotted some BBs behind me and turned heel... which left the poor hepless in the sights of me and three BBs behind me... which made it last not really long. After a looong turn as another DD had appeared on my flank, I decided to push the flank with the surviving BBs, got a nice Devstrike against an Amagi, that was too busy sailing straight and was oblivious of my torps.. I also managed to get the last hits on another BB - from maximum range... - and took the last 25% of the - guess what - the Jervis from the start of the battle. The battle ended, when I just got close to the enemy Lexington that had ignored me for all of the battle... Win.. and due to flags, camo and whatnots a shipload of Captain exp, finishing part 3 of the italian missions. So from tuesday on I can start the grind anew..
