Remember you played a lot with me to get the Takao - that would explain it. (Hmmm .... It sais, I had around 70 % in a 2-man division in the last 90 games ..... odd .... blame it on AO, that usually works for me and at worst you get a comment about clopping; or maybe thats just me getting those remarks) Love it! A few second before that picture above "happened". Which is even more fitting because I had some sweets just a few minutes ago. Good question. On one hand Id like to try out the russian T 6-8 cruisers with HE-AP. Esp. the Budyoni should have turned from a complete turd to "just a shitty cruiser" - but then I remember why this games so much a$$fudge - at least for me. So whatever, at least I can still bump the Scrubs-Thread before you Windowlickers end up on page 2 again. Anyway, specifically for AO: Its japan-esque, its animated, and the girl with the big eyes is only wearing a bow-tie while playing her cello. what is she playing? Well at least Id love to hear some good bass, cello and violin players interpret this, so close enough. And its my go-to song when doing a desperate counter attack preferably in something like a battlecruiser; in Fighting Steel just like in WoWs before.

Not "only" Reaper has a kid thats "commenting" on the noobs in the game. I distinctively remember some other future players commenting on their farthers ingame performance. Also, did you already forget about my birds? Not really kids, but still noticeable "vocal" over ts. Their opinion is usually "tshiiip" about cruisers, birdish for "shi7" obviously (and they are right!) and "screeeech" + "tweeet tweet" generally which means: "pet me/I want to snuggle under the blanket/your shirt", and: "I wanna destroy this very thing I am looking at for pure fun, and you can consider yourself lucky I wont rend the flesh from your bone pet-human......... for now", respectively . I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request. ...... Means no. (Thats an easy one, but still a cookie to whoever gets it. Anyway in other words Ah I missed the Clop/Hentai-Banter. I read there is some BS thingy going on about a chinese new years marathon. So basically everyone except AO have this: And for AO (and maybe a few others) in particular: Hm that scroll/banner-hybrid-thingy reminds me of the menus in Battle Chess. Anyway, I could switch over to posting music, but I dont think that would change that much. I listened to that song all the way home - and then some more, after a particularly great work day somewhat recently. Still in a good mood because of that. Hell, half of my "skill" in this game came only from creating a playlists with a good spectrum of tracks and then picking the right one for the circumstance! (Now that I stopped playing, I can give away those secret insta-purple-tricks ) Be glad I show some restraint and dont give some thorough examples. (I am much more astute and may do that in piecemeal-technique )

Comes with the lack of Pony! How about a Bat-Pony? They are a thing too! (And they "EEEEEEE" a lot :p) Thx a lot. Well playing some backlog now. Witcher 1 to be precise. Oh and I blew up a Bismarck when I went point blanc with the Hood after disabling the 2 aft turrets and the propulsion ; that would be Fighting Steel ofc. Some Diablo 3 thrown in there as well. Part of me wants to get a 152 mm russian gun cruiser and abuse it to the max (as well as finishing the shitty Ibuki ....), in a division with the Forumites ...... but ..... yeah not really going to happen. Still on premanent leave/or at least break for the moment. Tbh the only thing I miss is the divisioning and banter on TS with the Forumites ..... rest of the game I can do easily without. So hows the meta? Caps even more lava? BBs even more afraid? 203 mm T 8 cruisers EVEN MORE SHITTY (unbelievable as it is)?

Just so you guys know: If am not online any more for a month or so - feel free to throw me out without a second thought and reclaim the occupied place. I have been going back on forth on this for a while now, but I simply dont want to play this shitty game anymore. I have a job, I dont need a second one that is unpaid even. Judging by how fast this turd is driven downhill by the r-e-t-a-r-d-s [shove your censoring up you a-s-s or ban me already from the forum as requested, will ya?] development I should have jumped earlier, but seemingly I cant make up my mind. Even now I am not convinced because divisioning with you guys and the forumites is still nice. Then you play one game in colossal diarrhoea that is the new patch and you ask yourself: Why didnt I already uninstall this crap. (so you know its a post from me and nobody stole my acc ) P.S.: In case you guys didnt see it (because I know the notification thingy is broken as fúck - as comes without saying anything in the mess WG is creating): Loran and Live you guys either had or still have containers to claim, send by me. Do that, as it would be a shame letting them go to waste by being sent back to a inactive acc.

Thinking yet again about quitting this game.

700 base and 8k modified xp to go for the Spee.

Done. Its amazing, they had plenty of that on the forum, and yet apparently its not enough for the blind to see.

Stuck. I need a pvp battle to finish the 3rd milestone for Graf Spee and unlock even the 4th leg of the mission ... Considering how the xp-requirements-parts can be done by (incomparable low reward, high effort) co-op matches, its like WG is deliberately putting shi7 like that in, to regularly get a "random piss of" in once in a while - just in case they missed with everything already designed and put in to piss you off .....

Nice games Abo, and yeah teams lately are a constant downhill; only thing you can be truly amazed of, is that there is still MORE HILL to go down ....... Anyway love the new avatar! (but thats hardly surprising, now is it?) Maybe getting sick here. Yesterday, and today worse. Played like crap yesterday, played like crap today. Decided to be a good boy and quit the game early to get a nice hot shower - aka fall sleep in the bathtub. ___________ Anyway some games: In this one I was pretty useless for the most part - as it comes without saying for playing a shitty cruiser. It was only at the end when the game hung by a thread and we were loosing when I had to kill a low HP floating german T 10 mesa. Since I was in a shitty cruiser I couldnt, he repaired and now I definitely couldnt kill him even if I would risk a oneshot. Meanwhile our CV, who didnt play particularly smart or well was in danger of getting in contact and sunk by said mesa, so I threw some speculative torps of which at least 1 did hit; that was basically the win. Meanwhile the enemy Skycarcinoma came for me. Not a good player - so much that I only took 1 torp - but the bombs were more than enough to nearly kill me. Ofc it didnt help that our CV was busy with letting his fighter idle.... somewhere!, while the enemy CV was happily striking me again, and again. Because one right click on my cruiser with the fighters selected is asked to much. In the end I got some help from our CV (after it was pointed out to him in chat without frilly words ...) but the bottom line is: If I had died there the game would have definitely been lost - and how absolutely not cruisers are countering CVs. I even got my rightful earned Skycarcinoma farming denied as the CVs rammed each other at the end of the battle - at least thats not something you see every game. In total, my entire contribution in this game was one, maybe lucky, maybe skillfully predicted torp hit from a speculative spread while getting lucky with the enemy CV being bad (and greedy!) enough to not outright delete me. ___________ Not that good of a game, but there was a moment when I had a DD at 5 km, a DD at 8 km, a Cruiser at 15 km and another one cruiser at 4-6 km. All those 4 ships (got 3 of the kills) died and I lived. Pony Heika Banzai! - co-op tactics ftw. Ofc then a Nagato put a cit right through my bow, because remember: shitty cruiser. At least I got the Fleshwound on him through fire. The remarkable thing here is the Double Strike (on the two DDs) - a rare medal for me. I could have even gone on and farmed a Langley (yeah two faildivisons tried to rig the MM, but MM did put them into the same BT 7 game ), but the Nagato denied me that ....... Great truth. If you dont get it within secondary range you cant hit or pen anything! In every other BB I get like 2-3 k damage on avg/shellhit (depending on tier and rng obviously) but the Bayern? That thing struggles even with 1 k/shell hit sometimes .....

Freud would had a lot to say about that. Might get actually sick here (yesterday, and then today worse. Another workday tomorrow then at least I have some recreation time), need: Unbelievable, so far no previous Nurse Redheart post? Now I know something is wrong!

Up to and including T 10-ships this game throws bots and players playing like bots randomly on both sides - usually ruining any hope for 1 side even before the game starts. The battlefee-system was a tiny step in the right direction after being requested for over a year. Now for the next steps...... So have 3 Cornerstones: 1. Linear rewards. Unlike what WG thinks, a citadel isnt worth less, or easier done, than hitting randomly 2 times during the entire game. Its actually a lot harder to carry a game and then STILL do something on top to help your team. If anything the whole system should be turned around, so that the guy who killed 6 ships should get rewarded like he killed 9 - and not 3 like its now. 9 would be a little over the top, so have linear rewards instead so every cap/kill/shot/whatever is worth as much as the next one ....... 2. Overall WR as basis of a bonus malus system. We all know them. The stupid *insert insult here* that do nothing to help their teams win games. Also if 1. alone would be implemented it would exactly promote this damage over win kind of gameplay. Obviously we need to have something to counter balance and give an incentive to also play for the win. Now if you focus at winning this very game that is at hand, you might end up punishing a player carrying hard. Thus, winning is kind of a wayward mistress. Sometimes you loose due to afker and noobs and bots, sometimes they are on the other team. So you need to take the WR of a long term. Obviously this is to be set to active after lets say the first 500 pvp battles, as it would be useless and unfair for new players. But hava, you play mostly in a division since Feb. and you statpad your WR, ofc you want a system like that! Right so you need to take eg the solo-WR and compare it to the sewer-average (pun intended). If the sewer average is 49 % and you got 60 % solo you get a bonus in every games reward. If you have 43 % wr you get a malus. If you have below 30 % WR the game executes uninstall.exe after each loss in pvp because you "play for fun" instead of co-op, you are boting or you are a teamkiller. 3. Easy on Newbies, harsh on Noobs and bots. Like I said new player are excluded for a amount of time and up to a certain tier anyway. About which tier: This whole system starts very mildly at 5 and reaches full at T10. This ensure that the low and mid tiers are guaranteed credit-farm areas, while in the high tiers players get their is a reprisal for playing like a defunct bot, or simply being one. Players would still be able to pollute games with their bots farming their "rightfully deserved" Yamato/whatever, but they have to reach deeper into their pocket doing that. Likewise one bad/unlucky game will cost you, true, but this by far outweighed by the other more fortunate games if you try to help your team and play a tier corresponding to your experience as a player. Even WG should be happy, as there is even more reason to sell premium time/ships, either to earn more or have better ships to do well to begin with.

Typical, I dont post Ponies and the thread doesnt get bumped! So I finally got around to send the last gifts. (Well that is if I didnt forget somebody ... ) Wanted to do it for a while by now, but you know how it is: After work even the slightest detour feels like its a freaking expedition. Since the extension on that Santa-thingy now goes to 19th of Jan. I can even consider myself diligent! Thats my Story and I am sticking to it. Anyway, with the amount of "Dashie in a box"-pics out there, we can go on for a few years. Only two conditions tough: 1. If its a ship, then you gotta tell DJ immediately next time you run into each other! 2. If its not a ship, certainly still tell DJ there was a ship inside!

AO you gotta play with me more to know what I am continuously bitching about in recent times. Bismarck is very good because its has the same guns as Gneisenau which I already consider acceptable (although I still need to get manual secondaries first, in order for them to not suck major [edited]); also you overlooked the lines separating the text and the 2 games;). Its the pos Ibuki I am bitching about. Getting citadeled from every angle. Cowering in the back most of the time. 0 influence on the battle per se. Struggling to get even a single ship per game dead .......... what a waste, and what a example of a shitty cruiser. Same here, + the Pinkie-ness. Which in tandem explains the "serious doubts". .... but I spawned north and SBF south so I can honestly say that I dont know how SBF played.

Serious doubts about this game at the beginning ....... but we crushed the opposition at C decisively and then the north group turned south for the mop-up. Unfortunately I was far north due to the need to repair from relatively heavy early damage - so I missed out on the mopping up when the enemy team collapsed. ____________ The good news is: Around 70 or 80k xp remaining and then I can sell that failboat forever. Bad news is: Still 70 or 80 xp remaining to get rid of Ibuki ...... I need to get a Prayer Wheel with the inscription: "Plz Senjo, dont be shi7".

WOT "tactics" indeed.

Well that makes it even sweeter then. Consider it reparations from WG for ...... well pick something, the list of WG fuckups is long enough. ^^ Again CG on that lucky draw!

Metaphorically/phlegmatic speaking. ;) 1. Wow that enemy noob team faltered really fast ... Epicenter on Big Race? 2. Damage per shellhit is still above 1k - thats better than what Bayern usually gets. .... and thats a T 6. .... and it hast only 8 guns. .... and it cant pen even diarrhoea with those 8 guns. .... and unlike Bayern, OP-erator occasionally hits what you are aiming at. 3. Would have definitely lost karma if I were in that red team in that Big-Race game.

CG on the ship ....... but honestly dont play it. Its so disgustingly OP and against inexperienced players that its basically cheating ....... ______________ I could have won this - ofc only with a division. Enemy team had one afk - but they had a CV and we didnt. In the end I managed to kill the Gneisenau, and there was a slim chance on winning this. To do this I would have needed to kill a Leipzig on way more health than me. Very hard but at least doable in theory ....... unlike surviving when the CV comes for you and you are in a cruiser; because you know: Cruiser counter CVs - via ammo costs for sinking said cruiser apparently.... Fun fact: Over 1k shells fired - mostly from distance because: Cant get close, BB will lol-citadel me. Cant turn, BB will oneshot me. Ah the joys of playing shitty cruisers with no carry potential ........ speaking of shitty cruisers: Because playing the most fragile class in the entire game and struggling to even kill 1 ship during said entire game gets even WG to hand out pity-xp - no matter how useless you really are, so people keep driving those shoot-me-turkeys into battle in order for the BB-masterace to keep up the dynamite-fishing-in-a-barrel.

Season 7 of MLP: FIM with 26 episodes is now officially confirmed for Spring 2017 and the movie for Oct. 2017 with some specials around the year. Well, I didnt say it would be good use for you guys. but its at least an excuse to bump the thread. Btw, just for clarification: Thats a purple flying Pony princess - in a giftbox.

So Loran now steals even cap points! ... but damn what a close and tense game this ought to have been! ___________ From Yesterday: Altough this one gave more xp, I want to use this one to renew my love for the NM! The hands-down-best T 6 BB (aside from p2w Arizona ofc). Unfortunately I couldnt shoot a lot in this game. Since it was fault line I had a long time getting into battle on the flank - with islands in the way. After casually getting 2 "Outrageous Killsteals" the enemy on this flank collapsed, retreated and I had to turn my attention to the other half of the enemy fleet advancing on our cap. So another eternity later I faced no less than 32 x 14 " pointed at my NM at close range. A few salvos exchanged later 2 Fusos and a Kongo chose to hide behind the island next to the south spawn on Fault Line because I also had friends coming and the shell exchange didnt exactly favour them. They then got quickly farmed by the CVs ....... Further missed out on the cleaning up and on all chases on the CVs because if anything: This thing is not a chaser. Bottom line: Screw the Bayern! NM is the real deal! If the enemys had the balz to go for a 3 vs 1, this could have ended: a. very fast for me (If they were actually able to aim ....). b. Easily a 180 k game or similar.

Well I call h4x on that. ^^ Thx a lot - I saw it when I was busy entering the damn numbers over and over again ....... GL and remember the Flamu vid! ;)

Oh wow Nassau stats from a time when they were lots and lots of BBs around; unlike you know when the KA was released and the craze had settled down. Tell you what, my Nassau outperformes my König, my original Kongo from when I learned the game, same with NY and is only 7k short of my Fuso. Damn what an OP ship, this should be the T6 not the crap that is Bayern. /s btw: I saw the vids and can judge the grouping from there, and I see nothing out of the ordinary. If you shoot from max range its inaccurate - spoilers: 20 km Fuso shots are also inaccurate. Get around 3/4 of the maxrange and its leathal ....... and OP p2w. EG, It does way better when uptiered than any of the T 3 battleships. I think thats because its a "gift ship" that is also sold. You know the old: A shitty tank for christmal - which you will sell for a garage slot. Nobody gives a damn that Mikasa is hilariously bad too - its the freaking Mikasa and thats all that matters (well + what happens to anything getting to 2ndary range )

This! They did, there was even something called "torpedo crisis" in 1940 - apart from that I cant remember major issues of a similar magnitude - as we cover imperial and late war/fantasy ships too. But if you compare that to the RU or US torps which were notoriously crap... Well in WWII the germans learnt why their magnetic detonators where ........ not (long story short) without issues - on top of issues with the contact-detonator. The british soon followed suit. US torps where crapand crap for a multiple reasons ...... only after those got remedied the weapon wasnt the ultimate crap. Since the Japs had basically no defence program against subs, success of torp strikes immediately came in for the US. It helps too if you can study captured or espionaged material. The japanese were the only onc not only developing new "Wunderwaffen" but also actually doing thorough tests on them. Ofc it helped that they were able to join the major conflict basically with the beginning of 1942 (yeah I know P.H. was Dez 41) while the other already fell into the "beginners traps". The russian torps ....... well they were mainly very bad and low quality copies of 1932s Italian torps which they had bought ...... - so theres that. In contrast several torp programs were scraped because they were just THAT BAD, and they struggled even with simple basic electrical torps in WWII. So yeah, those definitely take the cake. Ofc WG loves to come with some cold war [edited]after which the russian stuffed stuff from acquired materials into their torps to make them less shitty .... Ok they are actually somewhat different, but only as to tailor the completely OP Kaiser at T 3 a little (but not much) down; bottom line is that its a ship droped a tier and with now double protected MM. The main point remains: König Albert - 0 Reason to play the Nassau over that thing. König Albert against Kwachi? Good joke! The thing is: The shells are the same as stock and the armor is just truly OP against T3; I mean surely there must be a reason why you are eating those Imperators for lunch. Can it be the Armor? Yes? No? Maybe? btw: I beg you, do showmatch(es) against Marvin in the OP-erator in the training room. Lets say best out of 10? And you dont even need to pass on p2w. As much as I only would love to see 3 pts captains, let the p2w reign free!

Yeah but back then Mogami could actually out-turn freaking battleships with her 155 mm turrets. Also this was before all the nerfs to HE in general. And best of all: The Kutuzov is a way way way better firestarter than the Mogami at the time of the first ones appearance. Better yet: Remember the lie from WG that things like turret rotation speeds are usually not chosen to punish/nerf and rather historically. Well gotta tell them Noobs than that Mogamis 155 mm turrets were very well capable of outturning her 203 mm ones. The nerfed it so the wouldnt overperform with the old EM, and ever since the change to the old EM they refuse to buff it back to original lvls. Unlike Kutozov which was designed to be p2w from the start and got "compensated" accordingly. Yeah because now it has everything the old Mogami had, and doesnt even need a single captain point for it ...... balanced comrade! So since the turret rotation is not historical, it must be balance? Cant be, since they acknowledged that there is the T8 unholy triforce of shi7-cruisers - and they "dont know how to fix them". That leaves the last BS-argument - calibre progression? Well since the Russian (surprise, surprise) cruiser trees have way way way more up AND downs and there is no calibre progression at all, this is yet just another weak excuse/lie.

1. I doubt that. 2. Lucky IJN players then, as there is no turdy T 4 IJN BB they have to suffer through. 3. Great that you reinforced that point, because the same stock hull-ship is on T 3 - p2w edition, ofc. Rather serves to drive home the point if anything. My money is on Marvin; but he might actually loose on purpose because he had to read through some longer post of mine. We had that already. Why the detour of buying premium ships/time, hording massive amounts of creds and then use it to train commanders? Just directly ask WG to be able to order captain boosters out of the premium store. 50k commander xp for 0,5 € sounds about right? btw: another idea to loose silver: Play T 10 without premium time in co-op. Its already in the game. Its called Perth and Belfast. You could even argue for premium russian/polish DDs, since the very first thing WG does is always give them usable long range torps. Same with Murmans, Kutuzov - after injection with p2w they all of sudden gain way better torps. ...... because you know: Soviet torps, world famous for their stealth; more so than even the WWII oxygen torpedo: Once dropped into the ocean, most were never to be heard of ever again. If its a retrain for credits, this could actually work out, depending on the exact conditions ofc. btw: How about some more copy paste ship of some anime with garish colours slaped to their sides? Would that suffice? I mean isnt there a Apregio xxx-kaze to copy paste and make at least the anime fans happy?
