True I would actually like to play ops sometimes ....... but you need 1-3 more guys so you can sure you will win most of them ...... the things you see there make you give up on humanity entirely. Just like today - we won the game against a entire omni divsision - not even desperate despite me missing a lot of shots/shots being in the air while target dies/bouncing of a freaking Mino. ......... and then those indeed desperate games which are simply unwinnable. Holding/winning your flank against overwhelming odds, while your bucket of potatoes get smashedand mashed to truly the purest puree ever. Over 20 torps spotted ........ no problem comrade! We won north, south lost unbelievably. They did sent more ships north, we killed some of them. South lost even harder to make up for it........... Made the error of shooting to much AP in this game. Clearly HE is the way to go ....... (Seriously I had one game where I did only like 30 k damage in the Orion (I think) and that was because the enemy was camping like you wouldnt believe it. There was a Orion sitting behind a island the entire game on Epicenter watching his team dying and ofc not tanking - but he ofc claimed he was "keeping them in the game". I rather would like to think of a concrete block chained with barbed wire wrapped around the neck to a drowning person ....pretty much the same effect) In a T 10 match holding against Radar cruisers, Shimas, Radar-Missouris and other top tier stuff ...... defending middle too later ....... but alas the 21 players on the enemy team proofed to be too much. (Seriously how do you loose so decisively and unsalvageable on A in the meantime ......) Like I said: Hindenburg is not completely and utterly useless like Ruin. Last but not least: I bounced 6 AP shells hitting the citadel of a barely angled Minotaur with a Zao.

Unexpected yet great! (I love that gif way to much ^^) Weekend, off somewhat earlier (too many hrs recently) so ofc its a great day. (Although sharing a beer or to with a friend tomorrow, not today so not completely accurate ....... but oh well I suppose I can also drink one while divisioning later with the Scrubs on TS). Mood is ............ odd tbh. Some things I dont want to think about to much and also some need for relaxation (stress), but then I hadnt had a bad day recently. So, if I am completely honest current mood is ........ trollish! Lets see what we can do about that: So I take from around 1:20 that AO also likes cute maid-outfits, over knee-socks and garters (or that he probably shares the japanese view of those conveying a happy day [which you cant deny entirely anyway ])? Well ........... = Well unlike Ghandi form the original Civ who would nuke your posterior every chance he got, Ill even follow AO along (somewhat, I think Mei is supposed to be chinese not japanese ........ well close enough) = Also have a nice day/weekend!

And just like the soviet-era technology this game is build around; did you know that this very ship got paid off only 5 years ago? Nearly 25 years after it caused the oil spill which it its notorious for? Anyway, I suppose right after clan size either xp increase or battle fee decrease could be a thing - but which nation/shiptype? Also (licking + salt) is also a Scrub thing; and ofc a Pony-thing. and since we had a lot of litteraly lately, some normal Pony (in socks - to appease AO):

Take these two examples of upcoming ships and This example is as good as any, even better as it clearly shows how WG thinks a cruiser and a battleship should be like. Ill save up on further comments and let everybody else make up their mind except: I am not really worried about the Pancake-cruiser since its a premium it will get buffed to OP levels or at least be no worse state than the shitty silver cruisers currently in the game. Seriously WG I admire the ballz you have to still keep sprouting the nonsense about "addressing BB overpopulation" and right after the RN disaster this is how you guys think your next try on a well balanced BB should be. But hey, no cruiser consumables this time, "only" Zao dispersion - the highest tier cruiser long range specialist - while the shells are still fast as any other BBs shells and no less deadly in terms of AP and even ofc completely OP in terms of HE firechance. Meanwhile the base dispersion of an Omaha is even WORSE - on less range ofc; and dont give me the BS about Sigma, a Omaha aint got 2.0 sigma too, and unlike this thing its shells are slow and cant do anything + the ships dies to absolutely everything. All in all: This game cant change aka "adressing the BB overpopulation" if the people behind the gamedesign are allowed to do the same stupid things over and over again with no consequences to them. In case you are wondering: A - 2

Didnt post yesterday and of today barely anything is left - thats my excuse for the spam and I am sticking to it: daaaaaaaaaw Well guys if it helps, imagine what could be "achieved" if this thread got flooded with real weirdness on purpose! I mean I can think of a thing or two; and the internet would probably explode if AO would release the weird arsenal of Japan. Well I guess you are all in luck, because whilst tempting for me, Dashie doesnt approve of such shenanigans in excess to much: Well yesterday I had my birds bringing me to some well sought after and deserved sleep. Ofc they shrieked in the morning , so I grabbed my Terrorbirds and did put them under the blanket with me. Problem solved, so I could sleep in some more on my free day - imagine 2 warm little soft feathery pillows. I am so glad the damn summer is gone, although its still (too) warm and if you open anything around dusk, you get zerged by vermin .... Even tough its Thursday already; the feeling when the next workday "knocks": and yeah, that probably fits my mood in the timespan between getting out of bed and having the first cup of coffee in the morning: (I need to play FO again .........) btw: Something On-Clan-Topic: So whats the first building going to be? Bigger clan I assume? And what to build next? How do we organise the decision making about this?

I suspect thats from that "era" ^^ ~1,6 mio potential damage in the Charlie Chaplin! ..... even did my share of damage even tough I sometimes didnt know which direction to angle or even where to run. The enemy had us surrounded on 3 sides; and no that wasnt during the mop up, that was right during the middle of the game. Also the team had a complete idiot in a Tirpitz - but hey, he came second behind me (D-cap on north is all you need to know) so he probably thinks of himself as a carry and a true pillar of the team. Did almost 4x the damage to the p2w-zov than he did to me. Best part was probably when he thought I would run despite the game being lost and not turn around to radar his smoke despite the Nagato next to him. He thought wrong! Although I only got one 2k salvo in for that radar since he immediately got moving again - out of his smoke. Naturally the returning full HP Tirpitz stole the 100 hp kill with my shells in the air, despite a Nagato broadside to him in a possible one shot distance for him even ....... followed later by the WORST torps ever. Much skill. Typical BB player. Also had a ~105 k Buddy game with Confederate ....... but the game crashed afterwards so ........... well damn.

One? ONE? ONE? This thing got it all from a heal over armor over speed and manoeuvrability over firepower ..... just name something and it will probably do it better than a same tier cruiser. Ill give you even one example: Torp reduction on GC: 19 % vs 0-7 % on a T 5 cruisers. Just for comparison: Zao got 19 % ...... on T10 ...... and GC still got more health than the T10 Zao and doesnt run the threat of meeting 15 F3s with 21,5k damage potential each. AA: Lets pick the Omaha -> An cruiser (supposedly the "counter" (I cant say that with a straight face) to CVs) and on top of the "AA-nation" (US) with the following auras (top Omaha AA hull): 36 dps at 2 km vs 27 at 2 km of GC 56 dps at 3,5 vs vs 70 at 3,5 km of GC 0 vs 26 at 4 km of GC Naturally the BB has the better AA ......... what did you expect? but we are not done yet. Ofc both can slot the AA range module, but its the only viable choice on CG (basically). Ofc you could slot it on Omaha too but the gap wont close this way and the dispersion is way worse (adjusted for the same range) if you dont slot accuracy. Meanwhile: GC doesnt need IFHE at all because its guns are not pure useless crap. Thus it could run camo + aft + manual AA. Yes, thats another thing: Since its dp guns are 100 mm their DPM gets doubled unlike the 76,2 mm of the Omaha. Well lets talk how an Omaha has like 300 m "camo advantage" over an GC if both run camo + CE -> Not really an advantage since the Omaha get one shotted every time bevore even starting to turn .... not even contemplating CV/DD spots. The only thing I see a cruiser like the Omaha has over this thing is ... hydro. So naturally a BB with hydro would be have a completely vulnerable citadel, horrible AA, being slow and not manoeuvrable, would basically have worst and useless guns in the game etc ......... to make up for that advantage, right? wait: doesnt fit any of this descriptions - yet still has hydro. Odd, isnt it? So in all honesty: B. Please! ..... dont give the crap of *Edited playing a *Edited cruiser, or even a BB as good as the Kongo and this grossly overpowered piece of p2w in its current state would do equally well. *Edited

More something along this: .... as it is a real B. to have them on your team.

I knew I started something here. Lets just say we probably wont run out for a while if needed. Also I KNEW I probably shouldnt visit this thread from work, glad I didnt!

They had no ruder. They had no engine. They had no magazines except when one blew up. Just a few gamechanges we got due to german cruisers: One of the patchnotes regarding early fixes said something about them no longer loosing propulsion/rudder/magazines due to DD calibre (~100 mm) HE MISSES!. Another change due to german cruisers brought last stand down to a lvl 2 skill instead of 4! Magazines became much sturdier not only due to how frequently they blew up (they did ..... a lot - you could could consciously farm det. flags on german cruisers and there was complaining about only receiving 10 anti-det flags today thanks to them), no, but also in regard to "magazine hit received, unable to reload". Repair times for modules became much lower - and then the introduction that the 3rd slot module also reduced the repair time further when picking the appropriate one. I am not even touching on the matter of Hover-berg that would make Jesus Christ blush when gliding above water and only got lowered after Kirov got lowered (might want to check the release date on german and russian cruiser trees ..... no bias at all comrade!). On of the most common tactics against a german cruiser was just firing 2 salvos of HE in its general direction. When its dead in the water after blowing DC and ofc getting crited again on the next salvo innevitable, you would then switch to AP. Even the Yorck could use its AP on Königsberg/Hover-berg under these circumstances ........ if no one was faster on the kill ofc because both the turrets and the AP shells took one eternity each to reach wherever being commanded to be. The knew all of this as CCs and STs pointed it out to them way in advance of release. Hell any one doing internal testing and giving this a pass voluntarily needs to be put under a custody of a legal guardian .......... I mean other more recent events lowered the bar on premeditated BS by WG quite a lot, but the german cruiser release is still a "fond memory". I played german cruisers all up to Hipper rather immediately and in the beginning I had both the propulsion module and last stand on the Hipper, as any HE shell MISS from ie a Tirpitz (HE Tirpitzes anyone?) amidships would disable the propulsion. Those cruiser made IJN cruiser look goodlike and the sturdiest things in creation ........ To sum it up, this was a german cruiser at release at the beginning of a battle up to the first few seconds in a battle: Addendum: Naturally no one had a 10 pts captain for last Stand before ..... Hipper/late Yorck maybe with flags ....... well except those doing p2w ofc.

You sure? I bet there still would be dark clouds in the 20+ km sniping paradise: Seems like some are already considered cheating! It truly has started already: BBs finally crying about other BBs ..... via the cheat0r route even - a privilege usually only bestowed upon a dev. strike by "surprise" torp spread that took 1 minute to get there.

Certainly is! Bottom tier ofc. A result that would be more than decent for a (naturally) top tier T10 cruiser .... is no problem for somebody basically no longer playing BBs at all (I just want QE and KGV .....) - balanced comrade!

You are in luck then: lets see if we get all the Mane 6 +@ in bunny suits (RD will probably be hilarious) So now nobody cant say I dont then tend to the waifu-needs of my fellow Scrubs, wonder where @mtm78 Marvin is tough, 3 x times bunny ears in a row should be sufficient bait .....

Please do remember that British Battleships got released. I cant really hold a celebration for WG that there is no defensive fire and/or radar on top of everything else. In fact, pleas do remember that it was probably only the public outcry that got it off those ship before release in the first place. In that sense: "Early detection of WGs BS might save balancing if the outcry is loud enough for WG to raise their heads and look/listen instead of continue the brown nosing on p2w/BBaby-faction. Please do remember that Missouri got released with radar - and still has it. Please do remember that high tier KM BBs had and still have their hydro. Please do remember that German cruisers got released, despite warning from your own STs, the community contributes, and anyone else that got a preview on them. Pleas do remember that König Albert, another ship that got released despite warning how ridiculous OP it is on T3 has to be removed from the shop, a proud tradition shared with other ships like the OPerator. Another example for this could be Mogami/p2w-zov. One was being nerfed (constantly) for being to strong as a silver ship, and the other one got buffed despite being already more powerful WITHOUT a captain, than the Mogami ever was. Please do also remember that WG said the p2w boats that are so grossly OP wont be sold again; except when they are like last year through Christmas container gamble. Please do also remember that WG didnt even take that detour via gambling when, for example just outright selling the E25 again in a cashgrab. Please do remember all the attempts to "address BB overpopulation" that are summed up with: Buffing BBs, releasing more BBs, giving out high tier BBs to everyone botting enough, nerving everything else. Pleas do remember how things go when WG decides to actually change things up: Even the short lived memory of the EU-mikcows should still be able to remember the GZ-incident. Please do remember things like the Flint and Black do exist ingame - the Belfast as well - apparently totally balanced comrade! Please do remember the completely ridiculous changes recently that left cruisers (in high tiers) basically the only ships who still have a citadel. (CVs are protected by the distance/speed/camo, DDs dont have one, and BB got "fixed" so much Submarines would complain because the cant set their torps to run low enough) Please do remember that, as stated it isnt even about those two ships in particular weather or not they are going to get released (ofc both shouldnt). Its more about how WG OUTRAGOUS this thing is at any point of design process - let alone that this has made it at least as far as the CC testing it, so its not like it some fantasy of a noob game designer put together with some place holder values. This hole thing is so reminiscent of the GZ cashgrab that you simply gotta ask yourself: "Are they planing on another GZ-disaster already? or is it just another op p2w premium thats going to stay". Also do remember that its really insulting that just like a spoiled rotten child WG having a temper tantrum due to no longer "being allowed" cruiser consumables on BBs, is now switching to putting cruiser dispersion on BBs guns. Also do I really need to point at the BB-Bingo again? I think you can understand why I wont give the benefit of a doubt but rather the benefit of my boot when I see things like this. at 16,4 km! This is Zao levels of dispersion. For comparison: A Omaha has 137 m base dispersion (a whole meter less!!!!!) but only on 15,2 km - on 15,2 the BB naturally has the upper hand. Könisberg 136 m on 16,5 km range. Kirov 145 m on 16,3 km. Bertain 136 m on 14,9 km. In total this is actually slightly better than avg. cruiser dispersion! Pleas do note however that those cruiser shells are completely and utterly useless and do nothing, with shitty arcs and taking forever to reach their target; fired from a ship that takes critical damage from every seagull emptying its bowels. On the other hand no cruiser can angle effectively in any way against BB return fire let alone with this dispersion; meanwhile it might takes dozens of HE shells from a cruiser to sink a DD - and cruiser AP bounces clean of DDs, while fighting a BB is entirely out of the question - let alone a p2w infused and enhanced version like this. I actually offer to playtest this thing in its current state as a T9/10 cruiser if I get access to the T8/T9 upgrades - like any other ship of that tier does. I dont even need cruiser consumables, although they would help naturally even more.

*blows dust of a really fat book* Looked it up on the encyclopaedia and it says: "When WG thinks they have done a good job and are satisfied with the results for the years to come". *clap* + *puts fat book back into the shelf*.

(depends weather or not you know and like Dead Space. Its also japanese so pretty random wtf all around, but I still enjoyed the first part - haven played 2 and 3 tough; EA ruined them pretty hard) How about: Tell you a secret: Marksaline* () is my undeniable favourite from that particular series. *: If Derpy ever needs reinforcement being the mascot, she will fit in nicely. .... but no talk about Fluffle Puff is complete without this: and naturally .......... this: (*green fluffy unicorns dancing on nightmares .......* ) Mission achived: anyway since I recognise serious Waifu-deprevation lately and I know what I owe my fellow Scrubs: Bacon-Waifu for you. I know at least Marvin heavily aproves of "bunny ears" (Let see if it also attracts @Themisto97) ^^

Unfortunately the game is rated 18 or adult pretty much everywhere, so I cant really post anything as the scenes I have in mind are probably those causing that very rating (and since I know on which forum I am on: violence, not hentai ). I know, pretty frightening right? ^- when your BBs and DDs all fight over who get to use the friendly CV as their meat shield in domination ........ and you are in a shitty cruiser yourselves. There needs to be a function ingame to form your own (3rd - so blue?) faction and turn on the idiots hiding in the spawn and border and farm them for xp/creds. This. I look at at the upcoming T 5 RM p2w BB and I already feel the suspicion again that the avg. (god awful) player base is godlike compared to the noobs behind the scene.

Meanwhile I get a sizeable percentage of my compliments from games in which I distribute righteous salts towards those who deserve it ........ 0 chat banns - believe it or not. Anyway, still feel your pain. I recommend playing melee-Joel in Last of Us to get back on some of the Zombihordes of the weekend. (bottle/brick + 2x4 will do nicely against those "spawn-sitting long range-clickers" )

Again: So, to fit the theme - a few cruiser only games from yesterday: After some horrible crushing defeats by winning the all time grand prizes of the shitteamlottery over and over again we cam around around ~70 % WR in total for the day. I actually cant really complain considering how tired I was playing the game. ^^ They say Sky Cancer Kraken is sweetest Kraken ....... unfortunately since I got in range late and whole team was firing anyway: denied. Not much damage here, but went against flanking DDs. Still ok xp considering the (usual) MM. Hell when I can play the cruiser role, shoot some DDs and keep the sheeps save I am already happy. Huge carry: They had all their main fleet of T10s on A, so we fought a retreating battle to allow our shitteam to cap c and then with some flanking fire b before outright counterattacking them on a. This would have been a roflstomp by the book without us on A ..... I think it was this game which even had us meet a certain - - liking forumite. @Themisto97 (I was tired as all hell yesterday, I might be wrong but I think I aint) Still not enough buoyancy to carry the rest of the team: Hindenburg is solid too: Tbh I feel like its really hard work to get consistently around 100 k in a high(est) tier cruiser (and try to be influential too) ...... thing is ...... I have now no clue how to ...... play more aggressive or whatever in order to do more damage or be more influential in the battle without getting blown to kingdom come immediately (which still happens from time to time anyway ). .......... we should actually be careful posting any gamewins with cruisers. As long as cruisers can do more than 10 % their own hp in a battle, WG thinks they have to nerve them even further to "address the BB overpopulation".

I guess Loran found his favourite Pony - at least one that fits perfectly. (Strongly suggest that you watch at least from 1:07 ^^) Only those capable of braving the Waifiu-, Window and Pony-Spam are worthy! Cleanse the rest by Pony marathon and those not willing or able to stand that have to subjected to the hardest "trial by fire"; by throwing them into "the pit". Old footage from clan-archieves: (The pit would be a ghastly place full of unspeakable horrors, a warped reality where no ordinary human soul can endure the unrelenting strain ......... or simply: AOs place. ) Speaking of AO: Somebody likes her present from AO a lot. Problem is, as we cant have the others miss out, we have to mug "ask" AO for the dimes to pay for the rest too:

Playing WoWs should suffice for that already. Finally weekend. I better start harvesting some oil but I am pretty much ready for bed ...... but then again I need to get some salt out of my system.

Consider yourself an honorary Scrub then and feel free to drop by in our thread or ingame chan or ts any time. Anyway some games from today: Locked down the enemy push even tough the had way more firepower on our flank. In the end we got the cap against superior forces and won the game clearly as our stronger flank also won (tempted to write naturally, but potatos manage to loose a 2:1 more often than not ). Sadly not more damage since 2 of the enemy ships were bow-on Dunkerques ...... Next on was won by 2 things: 1. Our divison _winning_ again overwhelming odds on b + c on Okinawa WITH 2. the help of our DDs who played well and stayed alive and playing the DD role really good. Why "against overwhelming odds" on b + c ? Because we had idiots going north of A on Okinawa - and naturally not able of taking it before we eked out an advantage in general. See this pisses me off: Our Division-Missouri played the important role of the tank and our only BB backbone around b + c -> naturally he got focused to hell n gone by the enemy main force; so again that BB that played right and did a very important part doesnt get its effort recognised. Last (somewhat interesting one, potatoed out also a few times ofc ^^): Hindenburg on tears of the cruisers epicenter without range mod ......... verdict: Not nearly as shitty as the Ruin. Also look who did a monster carry. I actually cut todays session short to go to bed earlier (even tough I had a lot of fun)....... lets hope I get some sleep:

He is talking about the lightning gun (and it says UT 2003 next to it ;)). ..... and just for the record: Love the ASMD (called the BDSM back in the day for a reason ) with its combo of ball + shot = insta gib ....... if you could make the combo ofc. I mostly sucked playing UT as I mentioned. Love the Flak in the original - mostly hated it afterwards. Loved the Sniper in the original and for example UT 3 ...... ........ absolutely hated the Lightning Gun. See? No Pony and thread + clan goes to hell n gone! Anyway ........ its really really hard to resist the urge for a new avatar: Highly related: Plan for today: Do 2 co-op games for those medals, find divison, play a few quick games - go to sleep early. Lets see how hard I fail to do that ......

Good to hear, we are too: ......... and if you got no idea wth is going on, then lets just say you will find out in the future.
