Yea I went 1 on 1 with my myogi vs. a cruiser spamming HE at me yesterday. He died first.

What's that supposed to mean? For a start I play BBs and cruisers mainly and with the latter I wouldn't say they are an easy target. A good BB player is terrifying to my cruiser...

Totally agree with that. Cruisers are more fun to play imo

Firstly to the OP - looks to me like you were in deep trouble surrounded by enemies. I tend to retreat for a while after an engagement which uses my repair... Secondly fires don't seem to burn like flooding kills you, so I really think now before pressing R for a fire. Thirdly - upskill your captain with repair skills of you haven't already. Makes life a lot less irritating! Finally... What were you playing? A cruiser? BB?

I think people are just excited by battleships. As for tutorials... There are plenty. And lots and lots of YouTube videos to help. Will people watch them? Tutorials would probably make sense though.

This is actually funny. I did not realise this could happen!

Yes. That's because only one side fired in collisions who can say who's fault it was?

When has a BB ever run from destroyers? 1916 - battle of Jutland - entire British fleet turns away from Scheers fleet to avoid destroyers... Of course Warspite had left by then after getting mauled due to her rudder jamming...

Won't be for long they will all rage quit

I play BBs. This doesn't happen to me. Maybe you are at fault? Also it's world of warships not world of battleships. Try avoiding DDs. At first I got torped to death by them but I learned. Now I have an aversion to them

The game has no way of determining who was at fault.

CV players - ask for AA support and I will come escort you... Once I have Cleveland Seriously so people ask?

I don't think it's broken. Or changed since CBT. You're just getting bad luck. How many games have you played with Kongo? You might just be on a RNG dry spell.

Hard to see how else it could be done in game. DDs in poor visibility and moderate seas would disappear from view in the swell. Thus blinking in and out of existence. Not really something a game can do "well"

But that would make games longer and trap sink ships in game for longer too.

And sometimes RNG will just scree you over. You have to be patient. It's actually quite realistic. 2% hit is quite ok in a BB and when you do hit a citadel... It can be frustrating, but BBs do the most damage when I play, and sink most ships. Mostly cruisers 1 on 1 with a cruiser I expect to win, and usually do. Open range, turn 45 degrees on, range in then broadside him. Usually works.

I thought something had changed in game when I went a whole game missing with Kawachi. Then it got better. However when I had Kongo in CBT her captain was all skilled up. If you are having trouble with dispersion keep playing and spend some skill points on gunnery. After damage control obviously ;) Sometimes you just get unlucky. My friend has Kongo again and is hitting everything.

Plus cruisers are fun. If you know what you're doing I suspect a lot of players will fail at playing BBs and rage quit.

I still hate playing St. Louis. Everyone loves her but I find her pit fighting style yucky

I'm not a fan of the Warspites brawler style. I've seen it used brilliantly but I'm a battle cruiser man... Smash cruisers for fun and run like a girl from proper battleships

Keepers: Omaha (T5) Cleveland (T6) New Orleans (T8) Kongo (T5) Fuso (T6) I can't get past how much I dislike Nagato so I doubt I'll ever reach Yamato. Without paying money (which I inevitably will I expect) Lower tiers... Meh, nothing is fun. I kept the lowest tier US battleship just so I could division with low tier friends, but I can't even remember it's name so I had no love for the slow gun bucket.

But... CL vs. CA after the treaty of London is based on gun size. Some of the "light" cruisers were a damn sight bigger than some CAs in tonnage. So being able to identify a CA vs. CL on the map would be spurious. Same for CC vs. BB. Kongo fast battleship? Hood a battle cruiser? Hmmm.

My friend just managed 7 kills in a Wickes. Meanwhile I just can't play DDs As for no hard counter to CV... When you find it its defenceless. My Omaha another cruiser and two DDs found both enemy carriers near each other today. It was a massacre!

No cruiser support? I've been on loads of games where the CV requests AA cover and more than one cruiser obliges. I've done I myself in New Orleans (which I miss lots)

Something else people forget. Full reverse and turn... However the "perfect drop" is unavoidable. A perfect anvil attack is probably going to sink anything. I've never achieved it myself and only seen it done to me once (in 700+ games).
