Any in Intel on when you got the mechanics to have a chat thats readable, stays readable and doesnt swallow/delete/fraud whole lines? Pro tip: Get programmers instead of the mechanics ( pun intended) you currently have on the job ........ Just a example of today: After the battle the chat is empty save for 4 lines (huge luck, usually is completely empty), while there should be a lot more (because of older) lines. So I do the close-and-reopen-thingy and alas: The old lines are back, some new ones are there and ofc ........ at least on 1 those afore mentioned 4 lines lines is perma gone. I can look a petroglyphs from the last ice age (or before) and have an idea what the author meant. Cant say the same about the Wargaming chat. Do you think you will be able to beat the guys from 45 thousand years ago anytime soon?

No random as in hitting a flagpole (which contains several grams of antimatter in a magnetic-bottle) of said ship or not even hitting the ship at all. That sort of randomness. Btw: Count your blessing AO, WG being the scum they usually are, they are going to let you detonate again and again in co-op and then dont even hand out ANY flags/medals. Trust me, there is a bill, theres a loss to be had, ofc nothing changes for years despite being told of the problem, but there are certainly no flags and still no big explosion to be worth your while. Thats really fun and engaging I tell ya. Cant wait for pve scenarios on high difficulty setting being decided after half an hour by RNG being the bots MVP and turning a certain hard fought human victory into a total WG-design.

A monument for the ages truly! Scrubs dont even have to do damage to come on top of most of the rubble. CVs might be usable in pve-scenarios. CVs against hordes of bots = no moral dilemma ........ but gotta get a T6 CV first ..... so some XP was expertly whored. Almost 700 base xp in a T 5 cv in co-op.

Most certainly! Blogis got a treat, now its our rubber-duckies turn. Just pretend your waifu-cruiser is visiting Japan ....... and ponified: Anyway, windows done right: (At least this time the "have the recruits running for the hills" is totally a team effort.

Anybody if WG does the like with the Elements again. Wouldnt be surprised if the russians soviets won that one in the end ...... Hell no, it might be the objective of one or even both belligerents but take it from King Phyrrhus that victories and defeats have many facets. The key word is ground here - as it rarely applies to fluent (pun intended) theatres of war with way vaster dimension and less clearly defined geographic properties. One recent iteration would be aerial warfare which got outdone by space/balistic missile warfare. Holding 5 drawn lines on a continent means little if you could theoretically park missiles/warheads up there (thats banned) and have them strike anywhere within 2 minutes of the begin of re-entry. You are still holding those 5 lines afterwards, if you have the appropriate bunker and supplies, but you gotta wait a few thousand years to really use them again if it was a dirty bomb. So again, in that sense Nazi Germany would have won the battle involving the Bismarck because while British forcing where retreating due to fuel shortage or bound up in convoy-duty, while U-Boats still freely roamed the whole battlefield, free to attack targets of opportunity. Truly a horrible defeat for the RN. Another case would be the destruction of the Egyptian air force be Israel - which clearly Egypt won. After the initial bombing Israeli planes were tied up defending or attacking targets Jordanian - so truly Egypt held dominion of "the battleground", albeit only with toy-planes ......

This gives a better idea. And while 22 % is not abysmally low, its not as high as it very much could be on one of the most accurate BBs in the entire game. Looking at the other ships give an image of "low range" ships ranging 23-25 % while those ~ 20 km ones get uniformly 20-22% at best. Ofc hit rate doesnt tell it all about a player, but the damage (i. e. barely higher than the players T4 Kaiser) is not high either (+ WR as shooting DDs gives low dmg, low hit but higher WR) ...... together they pretty much rule out the "yolo in, do some damage, die"-playstyle. Imho Nagato in the hand of a truly capable player is bound to be max. caped around 30-35 % hr; unless you go with "gametactics" that are not trying to help your team win at the foremost place. Also hr doesnt tell it all ...... besides (as targets) cruisers (those suck so much that only pointing in the general direction is required) all ships need at least somewhat careful targeting or even ammunition choice for best effect.

Imho its not a bow-tanker at all, but it has a small turning circle (due to being slow and fat instead of long, like all lower tier US BBs) you you can hide/angle that bow-cit while driving S-curves like a wounded bumblebee + changing speed - which also helps with any HE-spam. and tbf - who doesnt suffer from T 5 mm? Cruisers are shi7 anyway, Gnevny back then/new thing now against Blysca ........ all oh so much fun. Tbh only ships like the Kami dont really suffer to much because their gameplay doesnt change all that much ..... If you are in a BB then: - CV shi7s on you (speaking of non p2w ofc) - they do that anyway, - High tier BBs shi7 on you which IS a problem because 5 high tier BB and you as the token T 5 has some flavour of being a cruiser ....... - BUT you still oneshot cruisers just fine, and they can basically do nothing about it. - Your guns are still more suited for destroyer destruction at mid/longer ranges than any cruiser ..... - You can still take a stray/unlucky torp with "only" being seriously hurt instead of just completely crippled/dying. If you are in a bottom tier BB you gotta find a way to those juice soft and shitty targets (if present, MM is approaching its "final form" envisioned by WG) without dying. If you are a top tier cruiser you still gotta find a way to just survive because everything is able to randomly crapon you; and then you are supposed do some damage on top of that ......

True, I even forgot of Blogis. Damn its a extended weekend, so everyone should get a treat!

€: This should have been right under AOs post, but Mutsu did ninja me. Tbf "ninja" might be an exaggeration considering the amount of lines/pics/memes/vids. €2: Now lameoll did it too! And yet we havent gotten ourselves in a duel of waifu and death ......... yet (also d'aaaaaaaaw ); only (I hope you guys can tell which one is supposed to represent AO ) - should show the recruits that when it comes to window licking true Scrubs unify. See, without AO I wouldnt have even known what the "text" (as its short enough) means. So whoever is on the shipwaifu (or none) side of the buffet, remember that it could be way "worse": Dying to hyperglycaemia and a heart stroke at the same time because of "dashabetes" (yep, thats a tag ). Also because weekend, and because related, and because; Just for the hell of it (without Pony even): The weekend brought out the biggest noobs ...... Our stronk WR took ........ a nosedive.... ..... and yet, they could not shatter our windows. For we are Scrubs, a hilarious union of random crapposting, TS-salt ....... sworn to lick those windows. *capping starts* - *cruiser charges a contesting DD in the smoke* *Scrub in a stock CV vs some other unicum CV* *2:36 - what happens every game: Your team either fled or is dead /// Only a Scrub is playing the objective* *2:42 - capture* - Today ..... we win on pts and with that €: Actually I hope those pve scenarios will be exactly like that. .....and before anybody tells me to stop being ridiculous: €: Also wtf: I like Shogun 2 too, completed several campaigns on higher difficulty (when having practise ofc) settings, but Uesugi? No way - always getting slaughtered there even on normal. This time on the very same normal difficulty I just randomly derp around and make due and progress towards realm divide. How? I means seriously, just HOW?! Even my vassal from the start is still alive! Not even an random multiple fronts war waiting to crush me? I even maybe get to pick the Date or Hatano (west) as a temporary ally/shield for realm divide - I call full scale hax on that!

Except if you are a BB, those wreck cruiser just fine cause their armor or angling doesnt matter. Sure you can put you Aobas (picked the imho strongest one) bow on a NY and not get citadelled, instead you get reg penned by at least 3 shells = 10 k damage = basically the same as a citadel = Aoba crippled. Meanwhile, try to "counter" a Saipan with the likes of Omaha, Emerald, Furutaka, Königsberg or Kirov ..... Ever played a Furutaka in a T7 heavy match? Ever? (My bad, you already do 4 times the Damage in NY than in Furutaka and still 3 times the damage in NY to Aoba which is a tier higher ....... so whats exactly the problem?) And I dearly recommend you stopping grinding BBs this very instant. Fuso, Nagato, NY - those are amongst the best and your critique points with them wont suddenly vanish just because you go up a tier. Just wait until you get to face a Bismarck in a _Bayern_ for example.

AO is going to love you! ^^ To safe us time when he turns to his pantheon to make it stop, the answer is still:

Also we learned from the BS-sprouting Warnoobs ..... form their newest p2w ship: So 12,6 km with camo on is "baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad", guess what 12,9 km and worse bonus (12 % vs 16 % ) with CE then is? Thankfully even WG is admitting that we can add the shitty camo of the Schores/every cruiser to its/their weaknesses. Ofc even the same tier IJN stealth-cruiser could only get to 12,7 with camo (but not CE) - balanced! A battleship with some extra floorlevels of hight added outspots a "stealthcruiser" because ......... obviously cruiser counter CVs!

Khajiit has the wares ...... (Seriously I recognise only the yellow thing as pokemon, I cant even tell if the others are something renown or just there as generic jap/anime symbolism/ease of drawing) (Also totally about Overwatch this time so nobody can complain I only focus on 1 thing solely)

No multiple choice. Dont get me wrong, but considering the playerbase and the developers of this game, this isnt saying much. ;)

I wonder if they just flipped a coin ....... but hey its here before the summer solstice so WG has already outdone itself. I wonder what happened to: "Nobody" checks/cares about the portal".

Excellent. How I imagine it goes/looks like every time somebody joins : Its weekend - yay. And there is a holiday coming up to extend it - double yay. And some cooler weather is promised and hopefully coming - triple yay. Related: Damn, that would be nice ........ you guys hoard al the good weather!

@ lup3s: This would have been exactly my first pick too! It even contains scrub-worthy derpiness at the end. Tired as all hell, but I still want to take the time to cg- seems something has been expertly licked: Its god damn hot around here ........ record has been (not exactly here) 35 °C ........ screw that! Cant sleep in a blast furnance ...... its disheartening that there will be at least 4 more whole month like this ..... or rather worse.

KoVexPulThul! For anyone that doesnt get it: Anyway, gl recruiting!

0. Through heavy use of Dragon Flags I was able to enlighten my T 10 Zao captain to 16 very recently - but he is by far my most experienced guy - as it should be on a T10 - the most experience others are .......10-13 max., I think.

Doing what we/I can! After all we gotta make due until the clan-member limit gets increased, or else we have to expand again with another sub-sub-subclan. (d'aaaaw ) And some Waifu for Blogis so everyone gets something:

Cant sleep, might as well post this today: First ever time divisioning with Skyllon, fellow Scrub. Sadly no TS so a lot of salt couldnt be shared. Frist game this MM: So DDs and BBs are only ~ 85 % of the teams. Something is wrong! Nerf cruisers, buff BBs, I guess. We won ..... but damn had we beat them to victory. I want to suport a Z-DD - he camps behind an island. No one can do anything on C because he isnt screening/contesting - so everyone goes to the other caps -> He potato-suicides on c. We have no caps so I ask them to cap while mentioning that I will fight the Minotaur on c, but that I need vision (just light him up FFS). Guess what? 3 DDs are needed to cap D on Nothern Lights while the enemy got all the caps ....... you cant make this shít up! I point to where the Shima is (way south, flanking us) - Fletcher is scared of a Iowa sitting in smoke, that cant even see him coming and refuses to enter the cap. ___________________________ Anyway ..... second game, epic game: (Little spoiler: "Co-op tactics" and "Pony Heika Banzai!" were used ftw. We had only 1 division - those 2 HKF guys werent in one. The enemy had another one that apparently disbanded before the end. I have been told that the enemy had a nice arrangement of Unicums/good players and we ...... not so much. So while the MM was more reasonable, its was still (randomly ofc) against us - which is what makes the carry (I dare say that) even sweeter. At the beginning tough ... - I think my exact words were those: After an already good game came the pivotal moment. Tried to cap, killed in a gangster driveby a low hp Tirpitz off, got a few shots into the Benson and dodged his torps. It was at this moment when ...... (Seriously there needs to be a way to only embed a small sound player - not this huge thing) I was dead long before, but here are all of them unveiled (the Benson in the smoke ofc). I was turning out to reconnect with the fleet, but when the Minotaur got spotted in the cyclone ..... there was no turning any more only ..... ZUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUL(-Pony)! 1 vs 4 ? Time to channel the powers of Co-Op and let sound forth the call of: Pony ....... (That is definitely the right voice actor to use - I dunno why but its hilarious and I dare you to let it run to the finish and imagine my Zao charging) So how did it end? With havoc ofc. I was able to turn the 1 vs 4 into a 0 vs 2. Tbh I feel kinda cheated out of the double strike. Could have gotten Kraken if hadnt potatoed, but first the Gearing was out of sight, then behind friendly ships ....... and tbh honest I was kinda busy and pressed ....... so I didnt get any shots at him at the end. All I can say is: Anyway, the rest of the screens - damage-screens: Didnt even do a lot of HE-Spam. But oh yeah, 5 Fires, 5 K damage - against T10s! Fire op, cruiser OP, plz nerf! Got even a good chunk of spotting damage - gee, I wonder its that worth 3 or 4 pts of base xp? €: You know what probably was the most surprising thing? Both Skyllon and me came to the conclusion that we didnt hate our team and had little reason to tell them how to play. I mean sure, now that I think of it our Hipper suicided into a cap with Mino, Gearing, Moskwa, Atago, 3 Battleships - and then complained about "no support", but aside from that I got the feeling that they were actually playing to win; instead of the usual sabotage you get thrown at you be MM like a wet and heavily filled diaper.

More enthusiasm plz, after all we are a "well renown clan" or something like that (moderated cant check). See, this is the level of enthusiasm we are looking for: and finally something to properly go along my T10 Banjo:

Had some good games actually - towards the end on this day - at least as good as it can get for a shitty cruiser. I "blame" it solely on having a fellow Scrub I could share the salt with on TS. Ofc there were also those game, like on doing a massive gangster drive by and smacking an DD with 11 shells (out of 12) with a single slavo from like 2 kms (and avoiding his torp angles at the same time!) ...... only to get 6 (or more?) shells from a Fuso from over 15 km (balanced 50 % or + hitrate) and be deleted (also obviously balanced double citadel). How dare you play objective comrade? Its not what true cruiser do; but instead resort to shitty long range HE spam ....... Anyway some good games while playing the shittiest class that there is to not add to the brown-plague: Wasnt sure we would win that one ...... Takao in T10 - the peasant version of the p2w boat is still a better "T9 cruiser" than that fúck that is the Ibuki. Also I was just about to line up a glorious torp ambush on a Yamato when the game ended. Tears of the cruisers with fúcking epicenter. Who thought it was a great idea to combine this map and this gamemode? Anyway have another FochYou-Salut for that one. So while it doesnt look like much, oh boy - 2 Shimas and a Neptune ...... duped one Shima around a island and went Pony Heika Banzai on his boat with hydro. Citadeled the Neptune, had to turn and dupe the Neptunes shots at the same time because I got torped by the other Shima and took 1 (no hydro anymore) which I just couldnt evade anymore and balanced 18k damage from a single torp (because cruisers counter DDs, right?) - still derped him into the face once with a full salvo before going down. Ofc I had a camping full HP Iowa to the south, which didnt even bother training his guns on my attackers ....... playing dogeball with the other BBs is way more important! And the best for last - wait there is a superlative to the Iowa not even training his guns to help you? You bet! Just see and be amazed! In the beginning there is even a "plan?". with and rather expected outcome - so its up to us 3 to hold that flank. Us 3? My division and clanmate Freyr met somebody he knew, and we invited him into the division. There are no formal rewards yet for divisions but its at least a moral boost ..... and we are working the flank alone against half their team - so we are outnumbered 2:1 + their CV is working our side. Obviously 3/4 of our team is not able to push against not even half the enemy team ...... but for now its just normal random madness, right? So far our tactic has worked. We denied their cap for as long as possible, staling their advance and falling back with our DD doing some flanking and interference. Now guess what happens when a wild cruiser appears in the centre? Ofc the very same scum that would happily have us get slaughtered on the right flank goes full greedy retard mode. That cruiser was never going to exit the centre to the south with Freyr and me there ....... In the end we sold ourselves pretty high (our DD ofc getting crapton of capping xp) considering we were bottom tier and left to die for not even thirty pieces of silver by those incarnations of Judas ........

Cruiser were not meant to fight anything but maybe other cruisers in this game. A quick glance at their Edited guns and long shell flight times makes that obvious. Still that doesnt mean that BBs holding such an ridiculous advantage over any cruiser playing the objective is acceptable. The argument is despicable true but just like the Hitler-appeasement-policy it might actually be present at WG conference rooms. How else would explain this whole schizophrenic bullcrap like promoting BBs in an already overly BB friendly environment and BB queues in the hundreds? Well I opt to stay for now and spread the bad rep any time I can. I would encourage anyone to go to full Napolean Era Moscow-tactics and rather burn your wallet then let supplies fall into the enemies hand. Dunno honestly. I despise p2w crap like WoT or even this game generally (and besides WoWs I dont even bother) - and yet they are doing fine apparently. I mean every once in a while Edited like that Dungeon Keeper game from EA comes out and gets smashed, but even drug-dealer-games like CandyXXX (crush? I cant remember) are hustling even the most little ones out of their pocket money - and their parents - are running for years ...... I seriously have no doubts that the the majority of the player base of this game would be happy by just playing dodge ball with 1+ ton projectiles over 20 km.

Remove Skycarcinoma or balance them (and make the UI workable/working for fúcks sake - its like 4 Years by now?), buff CA so they can actually fight DDs without lol-deletion. Look at a triangle, write BB, CA, DD on each sharpy-edge and draw arrows from one to the other. Thats the balance you strife for, and not this:
