    [SCRUB] The Scrubs - Recruitment thingy

    Maaaaaaaaaaybe? Actually I dunno, maybe over the years overproportionally more of that stuff is gone by now, but at least you can always say: Lets ask John DeLancie (that guy played Q and ofc other roles and VAs over the years) at one point or another we have to go over the concept of " * pomf * " when it come to Pegasi . But lets just stay for the moment with non-lewd ...... Ill think about it ....... *stocking up on pictures intensifies, but I actually wanted to play today too ......... hm choices, choices ....)

    [SCRUB] The Scrubs - Recruitment thingy

    Oldie but a goody! To bad a lot of stuff from when Rule 85 (I said 85! not 34! ) was first enacted is gone. Unrlated: Yay, have been hugging my pillow today (not one of AOs pillows!) because weekend! means I can go around an spam Pony! P.S.: Philosophical question: But do/should pages in other threads also count for this one?!

    Captain slots in consumables containers.

    And I thought 5 ramming flags already was "striking gold". I wonder if there is a "improved variant" in TYL - you know not supercontainer-like but TYL sometimes has 2 rarer camos which you cant buy for creds -> 10-20 slots? Yeah but those other things you can sell are worth jack ....... I think people with 200 reserve slots _might_ end up being able to afford ~150 consumables ....... _if_ those consumables are on discount.

    Captain slots in consumables containers.

    Holy .......... ?! Thangs for that info man, I GOT TO TRY THAT! Naturally I didnt even try for a while now ........

    Captain slots in consumables containers.

    Also have a lot of spares - received some out of containers. I remember the times I had my barrack ship full on purpose so any addition in captains via missions n stuff would automatically come with a free slot. Even more so WG still hasnt figured out a way to let me dismiss the countless duplicate anime captains. I dont have the good one like 15 or 10 pts - but I have a ton of 0-3 pts one .......
  8. If these Scrubs are in your thread .......... Anyway, up with you thread squit!
  9. And here I was thinking that badly phrased and spelled bile would be unique enough to be easily recogniseable. What we would really need tough are pitchforkes and torches + YTubers also also burning the WG (B)Witch at the stake - or nothing will change. Its not like we have that fluent amazing CV UI by now after all those years of "regular" complaining - now do we?

    something wrong with inetia fuse for HE shells

    Actually that allows you to pen basically anywhere on shitty cruisers with the KGV HE - not necessarily the citadel but you will get through the common ~ 100 mm belts with ease; when you see a broadside cruiser and dont have AP loaded. Thing is that prime targets for British tard-shells are other battlepotatoes since the ships mainly rewards aiming like a donkey in the first place. 3 % FR reduction is actually not that bad (considering the retarded base chance). If I had a 14 ++ high experienced commander I probably would try it for the lulz between re-specs. So in total: No, not overly useful - learn proper ammo usuage/aiming instead - or recommended but ive seen far more useless ideas.

    Battleships are reduced to targets

    I would believe you - in a sense of a very isolated case that is compensated for by said Budyoni getting annihilated more often than not countless times trying the same. I let a Budyoni rush me and one-shotted that guy when he angled out to use his torps - doesnt mean that a guaranteed outcome - but still magnitudes more likely than the cruiser getting the upper hand. The main point is: I have 55 k avg. damage in Budyoni (which I consider on the pitiful side - but thats just the state cruiser are in) and I know for a fact that I am certainly not rolled over any BBs anytime recently. So when you tell me with half that damage (and not enough base xp for that damage to be mostly on DDs - or the WR for that matter) you easily own them I call heavily BS on that. 25 % HR and 27 k avg. damage on the other hand tell me a few things: 1. You spam from long range and still get blaped out of the water before you can inflict any meaningful damage. 2. You deal less than your own ships hp - which is never a good sign. 3. The damage a Budyoni deals is mostly inconsequential HE and fire damage and ...... 4. ........ and that damge is easily healable with just 2 or 3 charges from a BB in the MM spread. 5. BBs in the MM spread have usually 4-5 charges ........ and there are 5 of them ......... do the math ........ 6. With 50 % WR I aint seing the big impact in a fight around caps or in support in DD either.
  12. FIFY! Also: Yeah, I had more games in BBs than in cruisers back when I decided to grind some of them BBs - and then some more when I couldnt stand the random double citadel through fully angled cruisers. But that stopped for the most part when this shitfiesta started. Dont get me wrong, playing a BB well and good is hard and requires a very good player - and even then you have to get lucky from time to time. But that still doesnt change the fact how this farce has become beyond ridiculous - WG isnt even trying at this point anymore. In fact all they do is target the very few BB players which are actually still trying and playing well - and ofc provide the way bigger circle of free range BB-potatoes with the finest manure so they can grow into even bigger potatoe without repercussion or punishment!
  13. Killer Whale - the one in which 50 % of the potatoes still floating have to go to a spot on the map indicated by an icon on the hud AND the minimap? With the announcer telling you so? With the objectives in the left upper corner telling you so? With some idiot will leaving the cap or sit next to it while the time runs out to farm 10 more base xp? That thing was NEVER a basically guranteed 5 starer let alone winable with any star count solo. I can do more damage than the rest of the other 6 on my team combined - I can not win this map by exiting on my own provided I am not the last one alive -> unwinable.

    Battleships are reduced to targets

    Everytime I hear stories like this, I cant resist to check certain facts - because who knows? Maybe I can learn something? I have shitty stats in Budy too because I am simply not that great and dont play much in total + I played it mostly without IFHE (like probably most others too) but I gotta say: (and the base xp tells me that dmg aint mostly on DDs) Cool story bro - I too like to solo Izumos in my Tenryu - those poor BBs! One of them being forced to pop a heal 2 or 3 times/battle ..........

    [SCRUB] The Scrubs - Recruitment thingy

    Time for some "inside" (NOT insider!) jokes? That license plate: 10/10 - Death to the enemy! No mercy, no second guessing. There is this green chair at work - I cant sit for 5 minutes in that thing. It kills ......... slowly -> that the problem. Its like this thing was designed by Torquemada ........ Also years ago when I worked self-employed as a freelancer I had a chair fail under me (a ~50 years old rusted pos) at my buyers place and smashed my upper cerviacl spine right on the edge of a desk while falling in a clock arm motion; and then the the head impacted on the edge of a metal box too. Didnt hurt myself (permanently) but lets just say next thing that happened was that said fúcking assassin flew through the room and went from "damaged" to "scrapped" via stomping and kicking so you could carry that thing to the trash in a small box ....... Its actually very unusual for me to loose my temper like this but god damn ...... Pony-denied: I actually had some more pictures in mind, but let cut this short: Tomorrow long again - then finally weekend = (Thread needs more FS!)

    Give all cruisers heal?

    I am on board if Missouri gets the same "treatment". Actually no, Radar is was makes Missouri "fun and unique" as everyone will tell you, just take the heal away without choice and be done with it.

    Best Mascot! Even better, she fits here perfectly. I mean, that sums playing on a weekend up perfectly. Have some double-W: It less than 2 weeks now for season 8 to start. Also I know PI day is getting close and I know just the right thing for that! Also earning a declaration of war or two from Finland probably.

    dude, something is wroooooong with this game

    This - and its not only 16 because ofc not only 1 BB is shooting at you, its anything up into the 80s - without a Minautaurs aid ofc. Thanks to the shitty damage system in the game, taking 3 regular penetrations from the carpet bombing can and will often exceed taking 2 same-shell-citadels - and 2 citadels means you are nearly dead and will get focused down for the remainder of you health anyway - not that it changes much, BBs will shoot dodging cruisers at 18 km over a BB 10-12 km right in their face anyway. One is easily damaged and cant do nothing about it after all ...........

    Yeah, from 2013 so definitely not a complete compilation. Anyway ........ and for last:

    Battleships are reduced to targets

    This is probably the part which hurts the most. All I can say is: There, there, knowing WG they will make the class even twice as OP now. The always do that after nearly getting drowned in BB tears - something I suspect to happen right now after that Aigle mission.

    the dreaded event

    Nah, I checked the requirement of missions for this boat and immediately decided to not pursue it as I would only get frustrated. I would have ofc loved to have it, but those missions are always designed (for the masses) around ruining an infinite amount of games and get lucky. Even better when you get missions to break MM and ruin gameplay that way. A different matter are cases like ARP Takao or Graf Spee - and even there I barely make it with the help of forumites; so far I havent achieved a single christmas camo from those missions. But I still remember the great christmas-treason on EU so for the first of those they can still shove them camos up anyway.

    I had stuff to do - mea culpa. I should really post more ....... ? Anyway I noticed there is some lack of in the thread.

    FPS drops and stutter - update 7.2

    Ofc like a lot of others I had issues since the patch. I had the 2nd most up to date official driver so quite new but I thought ..... 2nd most is still isnt most so I tried that one. Yeah ....... Huge success: The rate I crash at the beginning of a battle is higher than my pvp winrate, thats quite something WG! I think they might even be aiming for my co-op WR and are actually not that far behind.
  24. While I dont have a great variety of T9-10 played, the Hindenburg is definitely a good ship and fun to play if you can put up with playing a shitty cruiser in general (and the Hindi is one of the "unshittiest" (awesome term ) amongst them ). It is, but for more reasons like that. I am half tempted to open a topic on it. Not awfully good games here. A few time complete useless fucktards or the game ending to fast. This for example: Just entered farming position on the remaining enemy ships as we finally had the upper hand: game ends, half the enemy team still alive. And that shitty result gave me top place even. This game was as least god damn tense: I know the damage is not great, but live and I fought like 6 (some died during) ships in a delaying action, waiting for our south group to find their balls, do something and get the upper hand in the south. I had literally the whole remaining (Tirpitz died early) enemy BB fleet shooting at me. Most of the time I could use only the back turret because every 5 seconds there was another salvo in the air. I mean you can get huge pot. dam. numbers by being HE spammed or Minotaur-Umbrella but several BBs targeting a shitty cruisers? Thats a death sentence. I think any other T8 cruiser and I would have just died there. Anyway the wankers in the south took their sweetass time, thankfully we had Ken there pressing the assault, and just like I was getting hammered from a solid 130 ° angle, their sides were exposed as well to our ships in the south. And a Zao game for last. It showcases the enormous difference between a true potato and a players that tries and obvious has a vague idea what hes doing. I am even tempted to put an analysing thread here. too I mean that guy in the Fletcher was a god damn idiot if I ever saw one - and the only reason he got even that score is because his captain obvious torps hit an enemy potato-DD after he was dead. Potato DDs - what else is new. Then again we had a Gearing in the north who fought a nice delaying action. You know how it is, without another DD or a CV or at least radar, you can do jack shít against a DD that doesnt want to be spotted. So he capped which is ok (a potato Richelieu went there with him, took the longest route NORTH of an already taken cap an died in vain while being useless) and then harassed the enemy. They ofc responded and had several ships after him and that Richelieu. A T10 BB, 2 Minautaurs - you know nothing that could threaten - aka spot - a Gearing that is not stupid enough to get randomly spotted. I was in the middle again anyway because I saw our team in a boxed in a stalemate at C. Enemy had B and that we had A - which was a huge boon - so when I saw a Chapa join the fun on A, I decided to do something about that. Got a devastating strike by taking that guy out in 2 salvoes. Whats next? Ah yes 1 Minataur and the french BB have pushed through the cap after the Gearing. Well I cant take them out alone, but I can load AP and make them think twice about not angling against me. Thing is, yes, my HE will do more damage, but I cant win this fight anyway, BUT I do have a Gearing sitting on their broadside if they angle against me. Even a Minautaur feels the sting of 2 Gearing torps ....... Sure enough they turned around and ran way after this. I really felt nice helping the Gearing out by first "intercepting" the Chapa, and then using AP to create a perfect killzone for his torps, kinda like a .......... teamgame. After all he did bind several ships north, therefore helping the fight on C, and before it got flipped we had that A cap as well for a time. Only earned 3 reports for flaming that Div. with the floating potato in the Fletcher - but hey I got 78 karma. What is that good for if you cant "use" it.
  25. Somewhere a little shipgirl with bunnyears is crying ........... (the feels!) From the ops yesterday: Now not only the overal performance is garbage, on top I do now have the huge stutters whenever torps are close or a lot in the water in general. Doesnt help that ships sometimes pass right over torps so obviously I dont see their right positions ..... ......sucks. Damge isnt so good, but mostly on DDs, so its ok. another one: but honestly screw all the heavy cruisers in this ops.
