For someone with premium time/ships ........ probably no. The remarkable rewards are 4 stars = 10 pts captain and 5 stars day of premium - and I already have the 4 pts captain of the one mission without 5 stars - and I dont care about the p2w-time. So the 10 pts captain is actually very valuable for someone not doing p2w in any kind, esp now that those with p2w run rampart elite xp buffed captains and even a normal 10 pts captain for those without p2w is harder to come by in the first place. On the other side its pretty easy to do when in a Scrub divison. Take the last misssion as an example: I thought "how can you loose this if everyone presses just 4 x w at the starts, reads a little bit, and generally shoots crap". Well, play it with only 2-3 scrubs and the rest random fúcktards and be amazed. You can even tell them EXACTLY what will happen and what to do, and they only react by thinking its opposite-day! It should come at not surprise that the same idiots, cowards and parasites that plague all tiers in random and ofc ranked are there again too, and a fair amount of them leeched 5 stars of us, while doing the very best to sabotage the team effort. At least team damage is deactivated in operations - WG truly knows and endorses their playerbase ......... Tbh its more about collection-finishing in my case (1st operation 4 stars only due to bad luck) - and thats because WG has not yet managed to piss me thoroughly off with their missions, a task they are undoubtedly working hard on with their entire crew. I usually am using a "they shove it up until they puke it out of their nose" kind off approach in their other poorly designed attempts - so this is actually something of an exception.

Well it helps explaining why his St. Louis has a higher avg. damage than his Pensacola.

Well, we are still waiting for 7 of us to be online so we can to catch up on the older operations with 5 stars for everybody.

Best scenario from today: ofc no operation-Kraken because: So 12 apparently will do. because number 'n shitz is like .......... haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard. If WG is not a example of why to stay in school. kids, then I dont know what could be ...........

What competitive play btw? If I want a battle of the wallets I can go on ebay and successfuly outbid my "opponent" - or not. If I want coin-flipping and dice rolling I can use those instead of the game. If I want to see interface presenting me the game world in in unbearable lag, I just drink a sixpack beer (wait, its a WG game, 3 sixpacks then) All those alternatives have the very much appreciated side effect of WG being unable to directly profit from that, which thus might present an incentive for them to change their ways. (Yeah, right I dont think that they will do that soon or at all either, but it beats receiving confirmation via being showered in money) And finally Is it? Those are the same guys that cant have a working ingame chat after years after years after years. Its like expecting someone who is comatose to not soil himself when he needs to take a leak. Sure most humans, you would expect, could do that, but lets just say that I have more confidence in any toddlers control over his bladder, than in WGs general abilities when it comes even to the simplest of tasks.

Players like the OP are the reason why I still play cruisers, besides not-adding-to-the-plague. From the deepest recesses of my heart: .... you can repair, but it wont stop. Fun fact: If you watched the whole things, its roughly the same time a cruiser has to spent shooting/burning a BB without get randomly deleted for doing nothing wrong at all.

Its actually a pitty they have not been shown in pony-form canon wise ........

I spot pantsu there on the side :

or game ........ I even know witch one: hm somethings, wrong with that picture tough ....... better. A true division stronger than blood wading through hordes of zombies and despicable human beings.

Windows have been licked, lup3s listened to Lorans and mine sleep-deprived babble about .......... well everything. ....... and I cant even imagine how bad it must have been to listen to us (ok, me mainly). Definitely more than time already for: (and its even cool enough to allow sleep - yay) Ofc I hope Loran is careful tomorrow but lets just say a ordinary limb-cast COULD potentially have its positive sides and merits : ...... but there are still ways with less ......... "shattering" side effects to Pony, so take care and stay well! CU guys after a "small torpor" (literally, fell asleep in my chair again ) tomorrow evening so we can continue the bitching about the heat.

Weekend! Now I gotta figure out a way to play with you guys with the ventilator on without the TS mike receiving only pssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhchchch ......

Heat is trying to kill me (to slowly, just get it over you !"§$% !!!!) . Its sleep time (time only, no sleep to be found, nearly awake for 24 h and hadnt had a lot of sleep beforehand - still .....) From doing a quick overlook I see some major trolling is required, but I simply dont have the time/strength now as I got to "get up" in a few hours. Played today on the radio ........ and its been STUCK in my head the whole damn day! Ofc you could take some of the lyrics as being about Dashie/Windy. Well ..... Ofc there is weapons grade cute too, but Fluttershy just like Marble Pie or Coco Pommel feels like cheating in that regard. The last one was intended as Imperial Knight Fluttershy being the closure when I am done reminding you all that of all the Scrubs around (at least afaik ;)), I am the only one with The Order and thus get to call the shots in terms of heresy. Sleep, falling unconscious ........ I take both. See you guys probably at the WE earliest (fúcking 35 °C forecast! You guys know my TS avatar? I am MORE LIKE THAT now ...)

Well the fellow Scrubs will be pleased with that last Haruna picture for sure. ( wait just a second: Thats Roselucks CM right there. ) btw: Any reason why Haguro is so ......... "destroyer-esque" compared to the others? (Also red hair could mean Fausticorn, but I am not dead set about that yet). btw2: Kirishima and "teddybear form" ........... I have not yet made up my mind whether I should ask or not. btw3: Nachi has green hair (for future reference), somebody is going to be happy to hear that: Obsessed with humans, so shipgirls should count too. btw4: Ashigara has basically Lilys cutiemark on her stockings. And boy is she a worthy embodiment of a cruiser in a BB-Meta: Pfff ... Photo Finish can turn anybody into a star brighter than even a Hypernova; and for the last part ...... Golytely does that too, tough I wouldnt call the result exactly a white hole.

________________ Comes even with a 2nd opinion; no turning back now. (btw. you missed something in "Die Epona"; of which I would actually like to know the translation. I mean I do know what they say in the unvocalised version but that doesnt guarantee the same word is at the same spot. ) Damn. Sad to hear that ....... but 9 hours WoWS on a weekend?! Do you want me to get a sledgehammer and knock you unconscious to ease the pain? Its faster and cheaper than any Propofol-Sedation - and compared to the "rest" you could still carry with your face drooling onto the keyboard. All I can say is, whoever made that scene (and probably nothing else for 3 years ^^) _HAD_ a pet bird or something. ^^ Thats ........ solid. btw last time we had an conversation in TS - long story cut short: The chan erupted in unrelenting laughter when it was hinted that we might take things to serious - (It was about clans in general and more about the competitive side - which makes is understandable, but still: ) - to which I simply asked: Have been in our recruitment thread? .... this reminds me of something I usually forget when I am at home and _could_ post. ...... needles to say, the noob got citadeled. No p2w-boat could save him, and the wallet-warrior was done. He asked us: "be u purple unicorns/(or: h4xXx0rs)?" And we said: "Nay! We are but Scrubs! - Carry!" It actually took a while before it would even try to load. I guess someone was hoarding all the bandwidth?! Well adding some Takao, Myoko and what is yellow? Nachi? (I think because Haguro was the green one?) Well if I failed completely make that Haruna. Something has got to be ARP-Yellow.

Ah screw it, double on purpose because: If only! They are not exactly big "singers" (think more of a Raptor while its charging and pouncing you - just more light pitched - also I am not that cute ) but they certainly dont lack in enthusiasm ........ or stamina. Well I actually did play with them a lot. Weather was perfect this WE - a little cooler and when it was to windy to open windows anyway, Terrorbirds would rule the sky. Several of the empty cardboard-rolls from toilet-paper-rolls have been destroyed as well as some branches -> big fun. Also ofc taking a bath in the sink and sleeping under my shirt = Terrorbird heaven. Also since I am in a trollish mood anyway and Wolf is here again: Fields of blood! "Call me a noob" indeed ......... also 1:14 ......... I nearly choke every time that comes. I can even use it to pull Wolfs leg by saying "Wolf should understand, its basically the same language anyway". And if you really hate Epona from Legend of Zelda ..... well: Die Epona! So that out of the way .......... how did the other Scrub spend their Weekend? With something nice I hope. ;) (I actually still need to clean some windows here ....... even tough I would love to honour Scrubs-sacred-tradition, I simply have to prefer a sponge and some soap-water; the dirt from the local traffic is to cancerous. )

Last time only the guys from the PVE-Clan were not asleep - good bunch, and I do meet them from time to time in co-op. Did do 2 rounds with them.

H4X! I see a shitty cruiser that has not fully submerged yet due to random citadel hits. Something smells fishy about this! Oh, and nerf fires + HE, ofc.

Now at least I know who to thank for my neck killing me (so slowly it has to be considered unacceptable cruelty) when I fell asleep after work on my couch. "I am just thinking about something for a minute or two" ....... my 4ss! Rather: Anyway good to have Wolf back, although I didnt recognise him immediately because of the new avatar. Why not something like FlufflePuff or her big sister Red Marker (if you know Dead Space, you know what to expect already! )? Damn I just love that scene, and although its recently released work I have extreme deja vu. Maybe I did read the comic that predates the vid-adaptation 1 or 2 years ago? Anyway thats exactly the same evolution that happens during one played evening with losses, wallet warriors, idiots and so forth ......

For very sad reasons I am not even surprised at all ............ ______________ This game: Doesnt look that impressive but I blind shot a Minotaur several seconds after getting unspotted (and moving + turning at full speed, not in smoke at all) -> double citadel + @. At least Zao has the sigma so its shells dont go full retard at normal distances even without a target lock. Later on I went and cornered a german DD that had flanked around and was threatening our backs. Took a unnecessary torp, because I angled in just those 2 seconds to late (and hydro having run out, used it to screen friendlies). Maybe he had the reload skill (the captain one, not the consumable)....... dunno. I am not playing enough to be educated or experienced with all that new stuff. Still - good game so far. Ofc I was then very detached from my fleet, and it did take a while to even get in gun range of anything. Still a cruiser being able to to its job -> happy Hava. btw: an even harder Scrub-carry once you realise that the entirety of our 3 ships lost ....... were due to another Scrub in the enemy team. Cheer to BloodVessel and his brave Shima keeping the last hope to win alive by contesting our cap. _________________ Next up was operations. Still remembering the HORRORS of random shitteam lottery I got some fellow Scrubs to team up, as well as two friendly guys from the [PVE]-clan. Firs game I actually HAD already the Budyoni selected and kitted out, but then I learned of the amount of CVs ...... literally: So I went for emergency Cleveland ...... tough I wouldnt recommend it. HE is good, but not that much better than the other T6 cruisers. AP is garbage tough, and thats the problem. Nürnberg has great AP dps - on paper, but the pen is so anaemic, as is the HE, as is the arcs at range, as it the durability (it can be a choice if you dont have IFHE captains yet, because it comes integrated with it now). Leander is good because of versatility (smoke) and HE/AP-shells - Budyoni is imho best. Ofc if your aim is rather crappy anyway for AP use ...... Cleveland might have its merits. ______ Next game with Budyoni ......... "slight difference" in AP performance - can you spot it? ...... and not many plane kills. But tbh just slot df and survive the one big wave - then your team will hopefully already have the upper hand and is in the process of killing those CVs. Anyway we actually wanted to play the previous operation, instead of this one a second time, but we couldnt get 7 guys - and the non highlighted operations dont give you random rubble to fill slots, which would mean being 2 ships down from the start! Well looking at this last Budyoni game, I feels we were also down at least 1 ship from the start. CG to this guy, he successfully leeched one day of premium and that 10 pts captain ..... Anyway, compared to the atrocious fúckfest that is random bullshít team lottery (including craprewards from loosing due to them) this is actually fun with fellow teammates. The thing is: How long till everybody that can piss straight will wander off to pre-set teames? Loosing creds and getting craprewards for a futile carry vs ez 5 star win and actually not that bad rewards? Are you serious? Thats not even a choice at all ..... Which then leaves only the newbies and the unsalvageable noobs in one big cesspool ........ and they probably arent going to be happy to loose this every time ......

Yep, I think I know a thing or two about playing the Shores, but I committed the crime of trying to play the objective, shooting at an enemy DD and worst of all: being spotted ...... 4 BBs immediately opened up from more than 15 km away - they wouldnt stop and pick other targets (way closer to them) even tough being around 18 km. Even tough I died _IMMEDIATELY_ I still accrued half a million potential damage - which isnt bad considering 2 fun and engaging citadels heavily angled through the stern and a lot landing far from the ship because they missed heavily. Nothing more than stray shells from the high dispersion did hit me ..... but in a shitty cruiser thats more than enough. Fun & engaging. ......... and then they really wonder ...... - or even have the brainfart to complain about rock-hugging cruisers.

No, because even in their weakest and darkest moment, the creators of said bingo couldnt fathom the sheer vast expense of BBaby crying and WG catering to them. No one, literally no one could foresee a day at which point the BB cried about so much (and got to have their way!) that having ridiculous shell flight times that enable them to counter DDs better than any cruiser, as well as forcing cruisers to hug island tighter than their waifu, so there was finally nothing else left to cry about, but how their arcs fall short of enabling them to counter battery a cruiser covering in fear behind a island. I am actually surprised no one posted that one yet, because thats immediately where my mind went, but my post was long enough already (but since this another one ): (form the vid info: "10km traveled, 3.1 million potential damage the dream.") The irony is big with this one. Where to begin? The OP and the Song? What the BB does? and how dead a cruiser would be trying to pull the same? Another "Tears of the Cruisers"-map by fúcking design? (and ofc still in the game, told you the only thing worse than our BB-polulation is the "population" designing the game). The amount of cruisers (thanks to 2 years of constant nerfs) being stable over the months since the vid released at: "there are ........ some ........ maybe", "Great and careful positioning" that is needed in a BB. Great use of WASD-Hacks because BB are so sluggish, thatt BB dying to HE spam in 3 minutes (I think it was even in this thread, but the BBaby whine is so omnipresent, I could be wrong). No need to call someone excessive names because this is just a direct result of: Lets look for a contrast how others are dealing with that situation: So WG have been nerfing cruisers and catering to BB + general to p2w since ...... well forever since the game left CBT. So what do they do when they ("lately"- read: before german BBs were released) recognised there is an BB imbalance forming (which even THOSE NOOBS acknowledged) they Buff BBs directly, via skills and in general even more + give more and more incentives (missions, events) to play BB. God damn geniuses I must say. On of the thing concerning me is being able to write on this form. If I am not banned yet, I feel I have been way to lenient with WG in general. It like having a survivelrate higher (more than just a little) than your winrate ....... something about your actions is not right in that case .....

Definitely. you know what, I could give some tips about what to do, but thats exclusive to OPs who dont start a BBaby-whine thread about what a bad bad cruiser done to them. I mean I knew the day would come that: + connotation of the rest of the post, BB arcs are suddenly perceived "bad". I guess WG will give soon give in, and create the firemode selector for BB (radar to look through islands is on its way already): The only thing I am unsure about is, whether or not the "green-selection" will be premium only or inherent to all BBs ........ Instead of some advice that would only fall on deaf BBaby ears, I have, in perfect accordance with the current YT-Generation of players, the perfect video to give insight about playing a cruiser and its strengths (lol, cant say that with a straight face) and weaknesses. So watch and learn: (You can take the Gul and the Major a Angel/Devil like concious of a cruiser-captain; only in this case its the one trying to play the objective/cruiser role vs the rational voice that knows that even getting so much as spotted is asking for deletion! .......... somebody should turn this into a Adolf-reacts-to-xxxx kind of video) I recommend you watch the whole scene and ofc you have to replace some words: Klingons = BBaby, Bird of Prey = Battleship, "full angling against him" + "your armor wont mean much anyway" or "load Main Battery!", "I am not going to let them cap unchallenged!", "target the superstructure", shields is armor ofc, "lowering of the shields" = turning broadside, worthless freighter would be shitty cruiser, and etc - you get the idea. If you dont know how a BB can decloak in front of a cruiser, IMMEDIATELY stop the forum whine, dont go over start, dont collect 500 credits, and instead go and read up in the god damn wiki. I know the vid is unrealistically towards how a random BB would NEVER pass up the chance of free xp/creds of a cruiser, but thats basically its only shortcoming; or rather its stray into CV territory there, as for them a cruiser is so shitty its usually not strike worthy until it poses an unacceptable threat to x or its cleanup time.

Yep. Ever seen how hard to hit they are? I truly think that the only reason my co-op hr is higher, is that the battles are usually fought at much closer distance (and the bow on locking at that distance becomes an advantage); at least I - contrary to some others - have a hard time missing a broadside battleship from 6 km. Didnt have the time to play lately but just take a look of what out there: Operations: The hard mode is already there, its called: play with the randoms; unless you got a superocntainer - aka 2-3 okish guys, then its easy to at least scrape a 0-2 star win. (It seems to be quite fun in teams tough; a lot of rage goes away if you call it team-co-op-battles) Ranked: Truly that game mode is ranked as the most parasite, bot and p2w driven of them all. I just cant play that; at all. Co-op: Oh so fun, 1-2 cruiser against 4-6 Tirpitzes (and worse: Tirpitzes on your side too). Enjoy. And if not: All the same BS that happens is random, happens there too. Just imagine this, I have a K/D of over 7 !!!! in co-op; and usually since nobody moves or would support me I play by just throwing my ship against the next enemy blob and take out as much of them as I can. So even tough my K/D is better than the total amount of bots in a match thats not enough. My co-op WR is amongst the lowest of the Scrubs, for example - and you have no idea how close and hardfought some of the others were! Random: Nothing random about that. Shitteamfest every time. Its only a matter if its A or B or both. If both are equally shitty it may be a tense game or a boring campfest; but its the steamroles that we see nowadays (comes naturally with such a playerbase) that are the most disheartening no matter what side you are on (ofc winning is still preferable). Wouldnt it be a great feature to be able to hoist the Jolly Roger, turn on the fúcktards of your team an play a ffa in a separate faction, with the only goal being to cause as much havoc as possible (with increased rewards ofc)? I think every player above 60 % WR need to get a few packages of those flags a day automatically ....... All of this is probably nothing really new into the world of online games; but the p2w of the wallet warriors and the catering of WG to the absolute most worthless idiots is definitely of a new magnitude. There is even a BBabby-Thread in Gameplay right now, complaining how "bad" his arcs are, so he cant one-shot delete a cruiser that is making use of the terrain, because lets face it: thats all that of what is left that a cruiser actually CAN DO in the face of a legion of ships he cant even hope to reach/hit/damage. Fúcking awesome and impressive shít if I may say so. Sure I [edited]in TS about getting shot for free over island, out ofsmoke and what not (esp. if its a p2w boat like Kutuzov or Belfast or whatever) - hell I keep bitching for being shot at all, thats a basic right of online gaming - but what BBaby do you have to be to put that as a complaint on the forum? I think most of the current situation has been utmost foreseeable and directly fostered by WG, which is why I searched for and bookmarked a screenshot edit the moment I saw the episode: (I bet the animators DID KNOW what would come inadvertently when the made a scene with wing-finger counting and rage) Hope I ll see ya bunch tonight ...... its a "free day" I got so much crap to do still. ........... I dont want to play on the weekend and Friday is workday again.

Totally. Little story: Yesterday and today I got a little time on my hand and was checking on my ol' bunch of Scrubs from work. "This content has been blocked or disabled due to ethic, moral and corporate-guidelines", well not the first time - and I didnt even click AOs YT vid at that time. Needless to say I never had any Pony blocked for that reason or at all. There you go, matter about heresy settled even directly by "The Order" itself. But thankfully I am done for now working, back to to more important stuff; like, take notes and learn from that Deadpool guy!

+ Minotaur doest count, it can equip radar. *sry I just couldnt resist* Tbh like with anything else, british cruiser are not as affected. Smoke + Hydro + good torps/angles + ub0r heal + nobody is allowed to turn away from them ........ geeeeee that all together nearly reminds me of a certain other class. Still, I rather face a Minotaur (+ friends) all of a sudden in a cyclone in a Zao (you can read in the achivement thread how that went for the Mino last time. Lets just say we did go from 1 vs 4 to 0 vs 2 ), than even only 1 or 2 BalancedBoats. Its philosophical. If a cruiser is the epitome superlative of shít and it gets worse, did the cruiser get shittier? Also add gunboat DDs. Nothing spells "fun" like a Gnevny being utterly useless because there is a cyclone and 3 Tirpitz bunched up together for him to "fight".
