    this is just a very bad game

    Are you sure you just havent turned a frown upside down previously? In either case try to use double-A batteries instead. He has a name, you know? And that name is Skynet. People like you are the reason he is sending out Terminators to kill John Connor. He got many jobs you know? Edited. You should have searched the Altair Systems planets for clues on defeating the Shivans! No argument tough that this is a bad game - its a Wargaming title, it basically said so just with that Logo. Same deal with LJN back in the day. Well If you however want a good game that is actually free (well the SCP is, you gotta have the old cds or isos): Also has fighters and bombers, warships of all sizes .... (Wingmen are still more useful teammates than the avg WoWs team ...... ) (Amazing ....... ~ 2 decades and when I see a Basilisk close up I just want increase weapon energy and cry havoc with both cannons and Fury/Tempest rockets to farm that heavy assault fighter in seconds ........ unless he is in rocket range of a transport or other escort target in which case: FÚCK!, GG and new game) Was better on a tech side at its time than this game ever was and probably this old 2014 built outdid WoWs in its 2015 release ....... yeah both got "no trees" but for example one of them DID HAVE built in AA.

    [SCRUB] The Scrubs - Recruitment thingy

    I see: You have seen nothing yet. The same way they put on their socks or use refined tools ofc! (or just MAGIC if its about a horn wielder ). Divisioning ........ Friendship also does the trick: (I bet a lot of Scrubs approve of this one ) And if everything else fails, dont forget how resourceful those Ponies are ... You see: The more you know ......... Or in AOs case: Speaking of socks: (obviously from the same guy ) I dont care that its nearly 3 Kings, have some Derpy in Christmas boots. (It only rains around here ....... Envying Wolf again who has probably a Winter Wonderland right out the door )
  3. Had the mission to hit shít - have done that. Can ragequit now. Unplayable without division. Highlights: - A and C on Trap - pretty self explanatory from there. You know you got a team composed of hazardous bio waste if b and c turns into a and c. - Shima getting two Dev. Strikes at C. Told you that was some weapons grade human waste ...... That flank got obliterated entirely and pretty much assured the loss within the first 7 minutes. - Scawy DD is keeping BBs from pushing - also a Martel raining fire. So I move to rape the cruiser and zone out the DD/shoot him if he gets spotted. All the Battlecancer had to do is to move up behind me. Hell if they had, they would have had free broadside shots on the retreating Iowa to a point of either cutting him off entirely or assured deletion as well as keeping him spotted. But nono, rather sit there and let the fully angled Iowa take shot after shot again completely undisturbed. Seriously BB players in the wild: <---------- 18+ km --------> 40+ cm AP Red Green Both facing each other not moving. Very accurate, as indeed no on gets hurt here. - I actually forced that Iowa to retreat by flanking and putting AP into his SS after running the gauntlet while 2 BBs just sat there fapping. Seriously, turning the cap circle green is fine, but when its gets white maybe switch hands and press w once in a while. - Enemy BBs able to cloak at will thanks to truly marvellous DDs (and ofc WGs infinite stupidity in the first place). Got one Fire? Extinguish, get unspotted and proceed to retreat ......... - Remember that scawy DD? Well pushing into one is a nono. Well pushing into 3 other Battleships ..... and that DD ....... and another DD ....... and several cruiser is just fine. Its really hard to look at the scores or the minimap once in a while and realise its a retreating battle ....... - Our last DD is completely alone, leaving all the rest of us behind and running head first into the enemies entire remaining forces. So I point to him that he has no support, will get outspotted and then shot to shít. Well .... he got outspotted, had no support and got shot to shít ...... Who would could have seen that one coming?

    Again! I think I ll just murder you with some dashiebetes (enjoy the snow (if you got any that is ......)) followed by some finger pointing like or so again you Scrublords
  5. Ive been summoned Also I gotta say: Still makes more sense and has a better phrasing. But too be fair - from a technical and game design point of view Wolfenstein was actually leading instead of limping behind like WoWs.

    Tier 8 ships for ranked and random

    It very much is. I would make my answer dependent on the amount of experience and result you got with your ships to be able to gravitate towards one of those 3: The most OP p2w ship ever is wrong with you if you cant play that class/style ... Like if you are good at brawling, with DDs or BBs ........ now guess whats 5 pvp battles in T1 ship is telling me? ........ Exactly!
  7. havaduck

    Tier 8 ships for ranked and random

    All solid choices - but I would rate the Tirpitz last. Thing is ....... what are you experienced and skilled in using? If this is not some sort of re-roll account I strongly advise you to get some experience in the game first - at least grind to those T8 yourselves - and stay away from ranked until then.
  8. No! Same ship and style basically. Trades spotting plane for radar tough - makes it easier to run def. aa instead of hydro. Doesnt have the AA of Kutuzov tough, doesnt have the range (so loosing the plane actually hurts), doesnt have the health of p2w-zov, doesnt have the manoeuvrability of p2w-zov ...., doesnt have the smoke (which is way more useful since radar is covered by the "best cruiser with actually working AA, enhanced HP pool and removed citadel": Missouri) ...... you get the picture. There are matchups in which I even would rather want to be in a Shores instead of Chapa ........ Due to the MM it gets (there is a difference between getting shot at by Fuso from 17 km and Missouri from 17 km ....) I would rate it as a "shitty Shores" with way more versatility tough. Of all the T8 silver-peasant cruiser I played so far tough (Hipper, Mogami, Chapa, NO pre buffs on pts, Martel 2 game stock so cant comment on) I would rate it as the strongest. So its a huge huge improvement over the other silver T8 cruisers ....... but ........ Yeah, I had to enlist some help here to convey that massage - which I consider important to get the right picture. T8 (peasant) cruisers are notoriously useless. If you can however use the HE to burn something down or throw your ship away to kill 1 or 2 DDs - you made a dent into the enemies lines which the other sides cruisers will find hard to do as well. Today will find its way in history as the big CV-potato/sealclubber day in WoWs history. Those that actually know how to play this completely and disgustingly op class; unrelenting face rolling ships that are supposed by countering them - and then still cry on the forum. And then the potatoes - no clue about CV, not even tried them in co-op or ops probably (ops would be actually a good place to train manual drops and handling def. AA fire while preserving planes) and ruining game after after game. Dont get me wrong here, the bad thing is not having a mission for the CV players; the bad thing is that the CV is the most influential class in the game and if yours is way shittier than the enemy one ....... Anyway ........ Needed to play BB for the campaign - Sky Cancer everywhere. (Almost all) shitty cruiser completely useless here anyway ....... At least Gneisenau lives long enough to complete the mission ...... I played a lot and I even got a 75 % WR ....... but you wouldnt believe the back and forth between the polar opposites of your team having [edited] in critical spots. There was this one game ...... T10 on Islands of Ice and we had this Essex (naturally as high tiers our only CV): and this a our Fletcher (only DD): Now take a wild guess how that game went. We had no vision. No caps (2 held by the enemy and the last one contested by their DD) and got shot from all sides being boxed in less than a quarter of the map thanks to those 2 idiots. Nothing wrong with class balance - I guess the cruisers should just have tried harder in that situation ...... and countered both the CV and the DDs as this is what they are designed to do. I really wonder if things like the Spanish Inquisition came of a cleric having a vision of future event like this game playerbase ........ would explain a lot. Anyway this was the very next game: How dare I show this here? Well ...... I went in with my Senjo to support my DDs, got some solid hits in. They lost 3 DDs + 1 BB alone on our side immediately ...... aaaaaand .... the game is over. The actual fúck + big fun I tell you. So this day has been roflstomp after roflstomp for either side with (for me) shitty rewards again and again. "Fun and Engaging" This game could have been fun because of tense and close: but we had a full HP Izumo running away scared shittless and driven off by a single Prinz Eugen without any support. Yes ....... that actually happened and its not fun loosing that way at all. .......and very next game went basically similar - but we won that one: and this one ....... I actually got a few first bloods today (which is a rare medal for me) ........ in this case I expect another thread about smoke-h4x-shooting soon. That all being said ........ I played CV again today after a long internal struggle and contemplation in order to preserve at least a chance of getting the 15 missions done. I only had less than 1 hr left and I didnt know how I would do; hearing all the horror stories about how up CVs are (I loled!) - so I rushed in hoping to get it done in the ~ 4 games possible in that timeframe. Now to get a few things out of the way: Me playing CV is like giving an guy who played 3 games in his shiny new T2 Cruiser an Atago. Yes, like THOSE Atago players ..... They die and achieve nothing ....... not so much in a CV tough. You might be saying that I am playing against potatoes but what you dont understand that is that I AM the potato here when it comes to CVs and this class is just disgustingly overpowered. First game and its as hard as it probably can get: T8 MM against an AS Ryu with 3 fighters - he knew how to strafe so not completely clueless guy either ........ yet despite all this the killcount was almost equal and all in all I outscored him even if you take the bonus for wining/loosing into account. (There was this one instant when I wanted to set up multiple attacks and suddenly all the planes on the screen went apeshit ..... going in wavy circles like injured bumblebees ......... top notch quality from WG! ) That being said, even tough the enemy had 3 fighter squads covering them, "insane AA" (i loled!) I could have gotten more torps in (at least 6 more I think) if not for potatoing this completely. All in all ..... 1k xp in a class I have no clue about in the worst mm possible. I take it and try again, empowered by a whole game worth of experience! Next game: - I now know the arming distance of my torpedoes (ultra 1337 pro knowledge - borderline h4x ). - I still have an alt key (a lot of keyboards are missing keys like "W" or "alt" altogether ) - Better MM. - I (try to ) take into account that incredible shitty UI - it still screwed me over tough loosing a whole squad early on + not being able to cancel stuff for a whole 20 secs resulting in the relentless bombing/torpedoing of corals, fish and other "dangerous indigenous see live". But dont you threat - Sky Cancer doesnt care about such trivialities! Two things noteworthy here: 1. Fúck. That. UI. 2. Amazing. I thought the BBabies were the biggest source of arbitrary tears. Well maybe they are in absolute numbers as a group but on a individual level the CV players are actually worse.

    Is there any smoke haxes out there?

    Wasnt that its affectionate nickname here on the forum? I still hate this thing to be in the game .........
  10. Yeah ...... I actually didnt want to be there in the first place - but they all left the cap and there were 4 - later 2 ships ready to take advantage of that. Tried to make use of the island and kept them in the AA for a long time - didnt do jack shít ofc because below T6 all the AA is basically in your own CV and even then ...... Asked for help - ofc got none. Funny thing is I dont get what our CV was thinking ..... If he had gone for the other CV we would have had a chance: I would had more chances of dodging (because the other one is busy), I could have maybe even helped him with the attack if he forced to dodge him out in the open but like this there was no way I could have survived in any way. Sooner or later I would have been dead. Which wouldnt be a problem at all if he had at least used the distraction to get a blow on the enemy CV ....... but no ofc not. Thing is: If the enemy CV would have been dead and I either dead or alive - this would have been winable (still dubious .... bu eh at least a chance). But with with you guys having both a CV and BB in the end ........... The irony is ofc what happened next: Devastating strike on this CV guy .......... who would have thought CVs could stike each other ..... Thats why you can hardly win if your CV misplays. € : @aboomination Also tried to invite you to our Community chan (we have a few players from outside Scrubs as well) .... but this stupid game cant find you ...... I even copy pasted you name from the Forum - no avail doesnt find anything .......... *sigh* €2: Didnt particularly focus you - I would only do that when other Scrubs are on the enemy side - but when I saw you on the other side: https://imgur.com/AWctBMF So keep shipping! (whait ..... what?! ) Anyway: Getting used to the new ship. shells are slow and (relatively) light - didnt quite expected that, think I missed you once relatively close to with a good grouping - that would have been painful. And that Königberg ........ he had like 5 shells going for his broadside cit - perfectly into the turn ........ and then all but 1 fell short and that one was an overpen. Why cant I have such luck in my cruisers? €3: Everytime I try the queue I see like 4-8 Sky Cancers sitting in it .......... €4: Its 10 now. 10 god damn Sky Cancers are sitting in queue. There isnt enough Platin in the world to turn into Oxaliplatin lacced AA shells so you can actually have a decent game. CV extinct my 4ss ......... € 5: 13 ......... its 13 now.

    [SCRUB] The Scrubs - Recruitment thingy

    Happy new one! knowing you guys: I wish you a healthy and happy 2018! Just remember to keep keep licking and spamming Pony all over the forum. I put even one aside for AO. (better?) Enjoy your food, enjoy your ........ company? €: Went to the cinema ( ) yesterday and had company so no Window- or Icicle-Licking for me.
  12. As opposed to highly scientific "one AP shell fits all" and eg "enjoy retarded buffed Montana HE starting on T4 which citadels AND sets fires". Now I get it. It not like the other 2 main classes that do actual ship to ship fighting have to actually switch appropriately ammo type depending on situation and still do very little damage and its only Battlecancer that can get away is highly effective with just spamming one. Lets take a closer look at the ONE BB-SHELL-RING, enjoy: (and its doesnt matter if its AP or RN HE as both are ridiculously easy to use and way over performing.....)

    Is there any smoke haxes out there?

    I did already, people just cant read apparently. ;) Well I think I found the culprit: (yes its Admiral on purpose since its WoWs) (I wonder how many will get this - in case you dont:) (p.s.: Not to spoiler anything but the new one is utterly crap ..........)
  14. I am done with ranked ......... again ........ after just 1 game. Yes, I did win. Yes, I was on top of my team. ...... but no, just NO! On the plus side I did todays mission of 1500 base xp and surpassed it by a couple hundreds xp quite easily - immoral ranked rewards ofc. Also done with WoWs for today I think, again after 1 won game ... Definitely unplayable without a division. I rather play a solo game which offers equally as much teamplay and I can shoot every enemy instead of marking them green and putting them on my team.
  15. Sure. We gotta make sure tough there are other Scrubs online (and willing to play) because since the patch has been live Newport is ops of the week so we can select what we want. This. Why am I even playing this shitty game is beyond me. So ice for the two containers is getting thin and already need to do basically all the upcoming missions: Ok ....... solo play it is then. How about the KGV? Havent played that one really and I could use the xp? -> 4 carriers in queue -> Nope.mov. Well if Sky Cancers waiting for me, why not go in a cruiser? I mean the AA is absolutely and tragicomedy like shít on them, but I can maybe create the illusion of actual team play if I cover an ally; my range is maxed via captain and ship mods. So naturally: Remember the conditions of this daily mission: 1. I have to win (neigh on impossible sometimes). 2. I have to survive the battle ... So the prem. def. aa is wasted. That "hardcap" on Battlecancer. That map. MM for me as a whole lately in general. Hell, apart from the DDs I am in the ship with lowest gunrange. Indeed, WG would be definitely looking at one here. So the MM and stuff got me so pissed off? No ofc not alone; it was rather the exiting and rich gameplay on this map + my team. I literally bitched at them the entire time and I guess it partially helped: As I explained the key was the enemy DD and I spamed priority target every team he was spotted so we wouldnt loose our Shira and any chance to win. Indeed the Mahan went down first and we had a huge unbelievable advantage with our Shira still alive. Sadly I didnt land a single shell on the Mahan myself. Every time he got spotted I was just 1-2 seconds late or early or missed with the few shell going past obstacles (necessary positioning in a shitty cruiser). So with the game basically won, our team decided to test new and exiting ways to throw it. The camped a. The didnt go b. And after finally moving an inch, they ofc needed 4-6 people going after a single Alabama when told and explained why not to do that. Tried to cap B - but since I am in a" japanese stealth cruiser" - which is WG bullshít-speak for: "As shitty of a camo rating as a battleship". Surviving alone was hard and I played this fairly risky, I admit: I looked at and checked their turrets constantly, but since WG decided to give BBs ultra fast turrets, its not uncommon for a shitty cruiser to have BB turrets turn faster in comparision. This means a BB using rudder and rotation can have its guns on you in like 5 seconds. Meanwhile your turret rotation is to shitty to even keep up with even slight evasive manoeuvres - and god help you if you need the turrets on the other side.... So no capping. No push at b and slowly loosing to points. Since I am in the shittiest ship immaginable I am doing mostly 3 things: 1. Nothing. Yes, I am rather constantly constantly closest to the enemy (with the exception of the Shira), but they are either out of range entirely or I cant shoot because I am out in the open and dont want to evaporate instantly. 2. Hoping for ambushes. Launching a few torps, picking a fight with the Kutuzov and the KGV (which worked .... kinda) at the same time to get the dangerous smoke cruiser removed (left him low) and ofc some damage. 3. Bitching in chat. But at least they did heed my targeting calls when I explained how we needed to get rid of low hp ships to not loose on pts. Was about to cap B when the game suddenly ended because we went 1k, so a pretty mediocre reward has to be expected: (You have no idea how often I envied the Shores for his range ...... and range plane) Yeah I know nothing awe inspiring but considering the circumstances it feels rather like 170 k damage .....More was simply impossible as I can already consider myself more than lucky to be alive at the end. Oh and 750 k potential and some 25 k spotting. I even got complimented despite all the bitching. I am now at 70 karma for the first time. Who would have thought that calling them names and calling out targets would not only win the game but also get you complimented. I am serious, I can do 3k base xp and only get 6 reports in return ......... And that one game already was certainly a sign to not play any more ........ its simply not fun and I have no idea how to do the campaign like that. I only managed to finish the first chapter so far ..........

    Is there any smoke haxes out there?

    You can expect a target to reverse. Its ultra 1337 pro tactics to reverse at an angle instead of straight to make it harder to guess .......... He probably didnt have the attention span of a goldfish and remembered you were there in the smoke after likely seeing you smoking up and slowing down and "guessed" your path from there, which again isnt hard; but on the other hand he had Gearing reload which allows for quick blot of an area with shells to find a target via explosive hits. Its really hard to just keep following and shooting at those explosions with 6 guns that have less than 3 secs reload .......... Explosions start to slow down ....... *adjust aim* ..... explosions stop moving ...... *keep aiming 50% fore and 50 % aft and wait for pretty foreseeable movement forward* ........ explosions move forward ........ *keep aiming ahead of last explosion* .......... again with Gearings incredible reload .... thats really hard to do..... Also there is the potato finder out there and a Gearing is likely to run it. Which basically shows the same order of events of slowing down, halt, moving forward again if he is close enough for the indicator to react to such small movements. There is even a old showcase out there which illustrates how effective smoke firing done right can be: I do have "a replay"; at least one that matches roughly and it even incorporates some of that Gearings PoV too ...... just replace "shields" with "smoke". "HA! ...... That guy is smoking up and starting to reverse" "Adjust our aim to: "DD slowly starting to reverse in smoke" ........ AHAHA!" Enjoy from there: Yeah some artistic freedom here - because I dont think you hit the Gearing with a return torpedo. Seriously, there is no need for h4x if even a weak player like I can do it ........... I am not the best smoke shooter - not even quite - but even I can tell you only need to have 1 of those 2 available to do it.
  17. Get a 3rd one and hog all the kills. These are the players WG is looking for. Playerbase perfectly matches the developers. If you want to change one, start with the other. Did grind a lot of ops today and Lord, the things I saw! Imagine if there was a mode in which 1-3 players are on the bots side. Whichever ship has the focus is commanded by the players, other AI as ususal. If you get sunk you hop onto the next one or you may switch at any time. The fun I would have with those sacks of potatoes ......... One thing I realised tough: I am not nearly giving WG enough shít for the p2w in this game. Anyway onto some good results ....... Good game - crap rewards. Maybe I forgot some flags or this isnt 5 stars. See this is the thing. I have seen so much WG grade stupid BS today that I simply cant remember it enough to point to a specific game. Just look at this one: Huge carry, 10 k free xp ....... and its a 3 starer. How is that even possible?! That would have been 800 k creds and 18 k free xp if not for the dumb potato sacks ........ You see all the ships I played so far can do well. I played BBs - but then my cruisers are shít and the 2 other BBs are hiding behind all the transport ships. Plus there is a good chance I am taking up the space of a Scharnhorst, which is so op here that every decomposed Zombi can do well. I am surprised I dont have a better game in Shores, its a little fragile yes (but then which shitty cruiser isnt), but the firepower is there (against the common targets). Maybe I didnt screen or I got even more unlucky mm in that ship ........ Anyway its actually quite easy to do well, get 5 stars even and TE on top IF they press W occasionally and dont play "hide and dont seek" instead. If a Algerie can do just fine, a Pepsi will do too. In fact, considering the Algerie is a heavy cruiser, I got one of my sickest results in her: 260k? A awful of that not with torps? ....... but hm..... rewards are suspiciously low?! So why go and intercept the transport ships when I tell them too? Way to hard and ofc what do I know. You know I accept I cant expect them to think, but even 7 year olds are better at understanding, following and executing instructions than this bunch of imbeciles + they can read simple sentences. Next game nearly the same damage - but its 5 stars and a Fiji. One of the highest base xp games so far (not quite double the next guy but close enough to say it is ). Also notice that I am dead in most results? Right, there is nothing up for grasps to stay alive. You wreck face so that maybe the wallet warriors, steam users and WG staff cant throw it even if they try. I cant tell you the amount of lost stars or better yet, even complete games with 180-220 k damage because of the re-enactment of Planet of the Apes happening live on my screen. Its good that I dont keep track of the flags and camos wasted in that fashion ........ Thankfully not all games are like that (or I would have quit far earlier). You tend to forget but with an ok team you can counter attack and spawnrape the enemy ...... and yet everybody is alive (TE) and gets good results. Still feels good to leave the Scharnhorsts, Belfasts and Atlantas a little bit behind, which, lets be honest, you have no chance in hell competing with if they are played properly. And you know what the really sad part is? I played ops while this pestilence must be raging even more in ranked. To all you poor souls out there suffering and wondering whether you have gone crazy: No! You eventually will go crazy ofc if you keep playing ranked but probably havent gone mad yet. Aboo is right you know. I have had it more than once today that got me convinced I played with bots. Thats the only explanation as no human can be that stupid and still draw breath.
  18. Yay, I can now actually look at the damn pictures again instead of just blankly staring at the text without context. Ofc I am out on ups halfway through reading up again ........ *sigh* I hope I dont forget to put out some next time. Very! But you gotta learn to share with your fellow team mates like I do: 50 % for me, 50 % for them. (we played a few non weekly ops to give everybody the 5 stars, damage isnt that great but that KSing (kill-sharing) made up for it) BTW, see if you can spot the p2w in the above ...... it was free p2w-time but still ........... effin retarded ......... On the ops: Just to reiterate, you need roughly 2 good carry players if the team is not completely beyond hope and redemption ...... (and tbf RR, thank god, doesnt include "highly complex tactics" such as hauling your áss to a specific spot on the map in time ...... you wouldntt believe the amount of star lost because of not having outrun Raptor .......) Certainly couldnt have done that on 5 stars without Lulu, hell coudnt have even won this with 0 stars without Lulu .......... Next up, told you it would be a fairly fast grind from 18 to 19. (dumped all the accumulated captain xp on this guy ........ and boy is the p2w retarded: I am already back up at 80-90 k captain xp AGAIN) So previously I thought someone going full p2w earns "only" around 10 times ..... but scratch that. Since WG is devising every more ways of p2w it rather 15-20 times that of a silver peasant. So much for the "just faster" Ill play 5 games and you "only" need 100 to catch up ......... yeah ........ Not really playing much in the last few days ......... or the last 2 months? So rather out of the loop. Also I simply dont want to play pvp alone ...... sure I can win ..... more than half the time even but its just so bad ...... and then MM on top. First try saw me in a Kongo (trying to get the cits for the mission -> BB) in a T 7 match ...... and there were only 3 T 5s on both teams combined! and I had 4 T7 BBs against me (+ that other unfortunate T5) ......... Team was so bad that although I got ok to good damage in, they melted so fast and without hope, there was simply nothing to be done to salvage this. Next game: Lesson learned, dont play T5, try T7 instead ........ naturally: FÚCK THAT MM (again) I mean seriously? Top tier CV, again only 4 bottom tier ships (again 2 DDs which dont care to much about it?). You gotta be kidding me..... Sky Cancer meant I couldnt do anything solo or clever - so I did the next best thing: Bitching at the top tier BBs and the other noobs with them who went NORTH OF GOD DAMN C on tears of the cruisers (cant blame the cruiser to much tough, if the BBs play stupid like that, what are they supposed to do?) while you could clearly see that the majority of the enemy team was A and B and hammering the south group. So south got annihilated completely and fast - naturally - and they had 2 caps. My bitching got them to attack B ....... in one big sheep blob instead of multiple directions, so I had to force the enemy into crossfire by flanking alone (because support or AA cover from my team which could win us the game; are you new?) - which worked marvellously and why I consider this game show-worthy. Although we were down nearly half the team from the start while only killing 1 or 2 of them + by 2:1 caps we turned this around. I was lucky that the Sky Cancer decided to shít on me only once - and that late in the game - probably because unimportant low tier BB - but could have been easiy a "easy early farm" if the enemy CV had been any better; or even worse: purple + XVM + CV = mucho fun. Lost "only" 50 % hp because of that immediately. Yep carriers, punishing smart play and attacking at all since 2014. Also that "insane" high tier AA (omitting kills by fighter but including any potential float plane kills by the other ships) cost them 25 and 11 planes ....... thats what? Combined a bit over 1/3 of 1 Essex. "Insane AA" indeed. Believe or not, that bitching (something about top tier BBs and the state of their balls ) + carry got me complemented in the end (or at least outweighed the reports positively). Recently the Karma ratio has been positive by far from all the bitching. Which brings us to the next one: Another game alone after trying like half an hour to get into a game (T8, T10, T5, ranked ....... no avail) for the mission. (No idea how to do the campaign, certainly not by playing solo ........) I saw they had only one DD I got a spawn close to c. So I decided to rush cap, explained this in chat an asked for support. Arizona immediately went for the nearest border and when I had 3 Cruisers and 1 BB against me at the cap my team wasnt even in the middle. Got help from another Fiji who secured that the enemy couldnt push through the middle as well and pincer me. Got the cap, annihilated 2 cruisers, bogged a BB down and made the last cruiser run away. Meanwhile we got B also but then they decided to suicide one by one into the remaining enemy team - without reason or pressure ofc. So I tell them to maybe not throw this game and form a defensive line. Might have moved myself a little late, but I left the Arizona and only one other ship to keep the half dead Bayern out of C - which you cant be sure they can do with random plebs. Told them where to form a defensive line south of B and for heavens not to attack any more as we were starting to loose this. So when the Gneisenau pushed C, instead of having a solid battery awaiting him and obliterating the guy, they ofc left me in a 1 v 1. I will never understand their way of thinking how it a smart move to let the guy that carried you so far, die alone without help. Even worse without using the distraction he provides to get some damage yourselves in. Anyway, enemy team got decimated enough that they couldnt come back and even the HE firing Arizona could kill the low hp Geisenau. And for closure: Yeah not even near the insane game lup3s got, but I think for a heavy cruiser this is pretty decent. The go to ships for this ops are (unsurprisingly) again the premiums: Atlanta, Belfast and Scharnhorst (maybe Sims?).

    [SCRUB] The Scrubs - Recruitment thingy

    Pictures are working again as a test round of replacing the links above positively showed. Which is ofc good, how else would I spa..... drou ..... erm ..... bump the thread accordingly. So I hope you all got what you wished and hoped for - material and immaterial likewise ...... and you had a happy and blessed feast with your loved ones....... and you and your loved ones now have another save and healthy year up ahead together - which is probably the biggest gift of all. Believe it or not, I got actually something from Hasbro this Christmas - although nothing from MLP FIM (believe it or not) which ofc own the MLP IP. Anyway although the year is fairly old and the nicely wrapped ones are long torn open, there is still the chance of finding something really nice in a unexpected not so pretty cardbox? (and there is that extended grace-period into the next year too for that matter)

    Tried again, still doesnt work. Last time it took them ages and with christmas around I can see why this could probably persist for longer. So giving up hope here and in the mean time replaced it all with links. Have a bonus round:

    Page 2? Shamefur Dispray!!!! Luckily I do know how to attract my fellow Scrubs - like showing some fresh seeds to the terrorbirds causes imminent air attack ........ (actually this from a scene and it allows me also to get in some happy sealcubbing wishes: ......... because we all know the only chance to win during the Zombi appocalypse is form a complete tryhard divsion at the lower tiers .......... and even then) That should help, now for anyone interested of joining up during the holiday, footage from the super pr0 ultra secret Scrub-Training camp: So have blessed Holidays, enjoy the company of your loved ones and play "some" games. Happy Christmas! €: It seems embedding pictures doesnt work ...... again. *sigh*

    I actually like quite a few tracks from Two Steps from Hell ......... One more day and I am free to not be whacked out on coffee and sleep deprivation at the same time. Thx to @Live85 and @Skyllon to drag my noob áss around for that one daily mission victory-thingy and listen to my incoherent bitching on TS. ^^

    Level of treason ....... and appropriate reaction: https://i.imgur.com/AWctBMF.mp4 Maybe because? How about a comic instead? Or some crafts? That one should suffice for AO ...... Quted again because: No Pony spam? I am triggered already by There are so many bad puns about Apples with Pony, I could drown you all probably even more efficient than with socks. Speaking of rather random shít: Mine prefer suffocation and heat collapse by being completely covered, but that still sums them up nicely. So you all got your trees? If not you can take our mascot to help you pick one:
