I had one of those days yesterday. 4 defeats in 6. Mostly teams refusing to push (one of the enemy teams played really well), RNG refusing to give me damage. Getting multiple citadels against me - in imperator and Arkansas One of the wins was a rewarding game with me defending the weak flank. The other was a roflstomp. Once again. Peak time before 10pm = unrewarding games. Kids and casual players?. Oh well. It happens Popped on this morning. 100k damage in imperator in a tier 6 match. That's more like it

I quite like warships.today although I was "yellow" yesterday thanks to some spectacular fail games It's overly focussed on damage though. There is also warshipstats which has graphs, but doesn't update quickly.

Well the stats are sliding. Apart from Novik. As expected. I'm probably pulling down Kirov stats. Can't keep from blowing up if if I had to bet at this point I'd say Buddy OP

It does end up in a lot of tier 6 games. It's not OP stats wise but the turret placement makes it a big fat tier IV easy button. So it's OP. Kinda a placeholder for "Russian ships". So I can see it going on sale again. Maybe in a long time. i got her because I think she's pretty

It is a valid comparison. I don't use the gym every day and I have a monthly subscription. I can't switch off the internet/gas/anything when I go on holiday. The main reason for WG is guaranteed income. If we all paid per game WG couldn't prove they had a reliable income stream. Banks don't like that The reason why "premium per game" isn't there is because people would use it, unless it was priced much worse, which would make people complain. WG want you to buy longer term subscriptions/investments. It's just good business logic. It might also encourage people to play more, which they also want.

This mode should be the next season of ranked battles

As a cruiser and bb player only it's hard to choose only one of each. But I'll try. BB: it was Kongo for a long time but now the winner has to be... New Mexico. She's just awesome. Tanky, good guns. Excellent AA and wonderful rudder shift. Yes she's slow but I'm not in a hurry. As you learn BBs and the maps you learn good places to go. She's not terrible in a tier 8 game and when she's too tier she's just funny Cruiser. It has to be Murmansk by a mile. Nimble annoying pest with a troll scout plane. Fire HE and watch the world burn. Then dance away when someone looks at you. That scout plane keeps her competetive in tier VII games too. Special mention (non premium) for Koenigsberg. Love that ship too. I would have picked Nurnberg but she's too fragile for tier 8 games really.

Can't have that kind of thing on WG servers. Otherwise they are putting themselves at risk. So deleting is the proper action. agree with OP in principle but there is no way WG can allow that once they've found it.

+1

Agree totally would like to see more pre dreadnoughts and early dreadnoughts. It's a shame we rush through WW1 by tier IV

I have something like 25 ships in port. And these are only there if I intend to sail them. So a day of ships might mean 6 or 7 different vessels played. No wonder I never get to tier X

Angling doesn't always work. However not being the juiciest target often does. And if you're sailing around in the open bits of the map and are furthest forward for long periods blazing away without paying attention to what the balttleships are looking at, you deserve to be annihilated.

Off peak is the way to go for good games. Weekends, evenings and holidays usually end up with very one sided stomps. Sometimes it it is a ridiculously easy win though, have to remember that. But the influence you can have in these games is limited. For or me it's the tier 8 games which seem most bizarre. You'd have thought that by tier 8 people would understand the game. But when I'm top of the team by a mile in a tier 8 game, sailing a very bottom tier New Mexico, something is wrong. Battlefleet gothic armada is also out so that might have had a minor effect to for the more strategy fleet oriented players. Well I've been giving it a go anyway.

The origibal bug was fixed. This might be a new one. Suggest you raise a ticket with as much detail as possible.

...and 50% of the time it's going to be the red team who have this problem

I don't usually like "mirroring" because I like variety. And the side with more DDs doesn't always win if they are dealt with by cruisers etc. However there ought to be some kind of "moderating" influence In MM. I've seen 1v5 DDs before and it's not a "good game" usually - because it becomes all about the DDs. Either the team with the DDs gets all the caps and it's over too fast, or the DDs die and the team is quickly destroyed. In short few vs. Lots of DDs leads to short, often unfulfilling games.

Maybe they get free XP instead of what we get. I quite like the credits tbh. Made 750k very fast

I regularly play IV-VIII. I have a tier 9 but generally the fun is around tier 5 and 6. I even play some tier 3 sometimes but it gets a bit boring. I like historical ships but the main reason for playing so much mud tier is its just more fun.

Oh no I'm devastated. Well done for making a really useful point.

But am pretty sure you can exit to port while alive. Dunno tho.

Regarding the ability of large companies to communicate. It's not that they "don't care" about customers. Far from it. However in a large company it's often difficult for those who can communicate to know what they can and can't say. While the "bosses" don't understand the details. So you end up with a lot of paralysis as the people who are supposed to do the talking don't, for fear of "saying something wrong". So big companies generally don't say much. Which is annoying. I know. I work for one!

I'll have to have a good play with them all today. The money and flags is a nice bonus. Plus you can complete daily missions +1 WG

Yes. Suddenly got better. Must be cheat? This happened to me when I took advice on how to play cruisers (I wasn't using cover. Thanks Notser, Voulezvous and Flamu). In the same time period (this person plays more games than me). The increase looks nothing like as dramatic on warships.today. I checked. So stop throwing cheat accusations around when someone improves!* *ofc anyone could be cheating. It's the accusation with no actual evidence I don't like. Pls lock thread.

You've completely lost me anyway. Looking at same stats on warships.today - looks very much like my stats only more games. So what exactly are you naming and shaming (not allowed) about?

I believe that it is possible to exit a match and start a new one with a different ship *before* you are dead. If that's the case then I think people are getting into a match, don't like the MM/map/whatever and are simply quitting to port to play another ship. Is this true? If so, don't let people start a new game if they are alive in another one. The number of afk-ers I've seen, though not huge, is too many to be explained by hardware failure, disconnects or valid reasons. I believe some people just leave if they don't like the look of the game. It's usually DDs or BBs in my experience. Rarely cruisers... So being able to start a different game while afk in another I think is the problem. I've not tested it of course
