Mates, this is the same a OP as this one: http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/67415-unrealistic-torpedoes/ 1. You pink; from 2nd or 3rd or 4th or even 5th rowing someone already without taking a clue or lesson from it. Its not like there isnt somebody barking "dont shoot at your allies", every time you dot that, at you. 2. .... with torps of less range than the actual distance to the target, and no consideration of your fellow teammates. Because the game doesnt have "realistic" torpedoes that have friendly-foe-recognition like those invented in Egypt while building the terracotta army. /s After hitting your unfortunate team-mates again, this happened: , which led to: 3. So the game did the same as: It threw you out, probably for the same reason: To much friendly fire, resistance to given guidance and overall ignorance to available sources of enlightenment.

Not just like. I just had a epiphany; this might actually be Steven the Seagull. Everything fits perfectly, now doesnt it?

Way to much rewards for a T4 CV that gets only matched against ships with a. No aa. b. Nearly no AA. c. Only Yubari having defensive fire available. The ship with the best AA was .... the Wyoming? Or is the fighter on the Kuma the strongest AA-asset the enemy team had available? (aside from their obviously useless CVs ) I think taking away 1/4 of the CV rewards and giving it to the other classes would suffice. Nice game tough, you clearly dominated the enemy CVs and thus the whole enemy team had absolutely no chance. Just as a clue thats simply how the rewards on T4 look like, and not any anti-CV bias: Thats less damage (surprise, surprise) but in return a cap. Also this was a T 4-5 game in stark contrast to T 3-4 victims, which should also yield better rewards.

Bots attack, that makes them already better than most humans. If I got a bot, or two, with me I can usually take on the whole enemy fleet (as long as the "friendly" bots dont tk me without mercy) in a melee. If I get a team of humans, I can go in, fight 5 ships at once, sink 3-5 of them, and we might still loose the game.... In general I prefer half of my team being bots, so there is a pretty assured victory. All being bots has the risk of a few unfortunate 1:1 torp trades, and then a 5 vs 1 might not be winable. Also only bots vs bots leeds to a VERY FAST game, and thus not enough time to rack up damage/rewards. Simply depends on the ship and tiers a lot too ......

Wait, .... so what were the last few basically all new released Premium ships (only exception: KK come to mind)? Hell even PE was way better with the inherent premium-ship-bonuses than a Hipper; and certainly not worse. If anything they should nerf that ship along with every P2W premium out there (so thats basically all the premiums, save for a selected few).

Indication: Anamnesis : Co-op player with 43 battles against bots complaining in the forum. Statement: Newbie player that is on the brink to be lost on being a future BBaby or even general N(1-1)+(1-1)B. Already exhibits "nerf torps"-, and "but realism"-demands while neglecting, eg, the fact that his ship has a "healthbar" and completely unhistorical "hit rates". Recommended Procedure: 1. Continue to L2P in Co-op. 2. Watch Youtube videos if you have to (sample handed out). 3. Avoid PVP for the time given until <Indication> is no longer a problem. 4. Loose that attitude. 5. In case troubles are persisting you are more than welcome to visit the Gameguide-, Newcommer or even this forum again. Plz have a attidude-free posting ready when you "do ask for help".

What?! I have played during those times, so let me remind you: Lets take a map like two brothers. Around 8 ships form one big blob around their CV out of fear of the enemy CV, and to protect their own, ofc. A few idiots and the DDs head of solo or solo-ish. Two lemming trains forms, usually both going where the other isnt. A few minutes into the game the first CV strikes land. 8 ships fill the sky with AA - which does absolutely nothing, manoeuvring in panic to not be the one that gets one-shotted. Prime target would be the enemy CV, but a Top tier BB might also do. 7-8 Minutes into the game: The first and second strike have passed. Whats left of the ships arrives at the first cap circle ........ maybe. So less campy? Are you BSing me? In comparison to these CV-only-times we have every single ship going on a rampage on minute 0 now....... even if its a bot sitting AFK in the spawn .......

You should also provide the name of that institute, for I like them already for having the right idea. Honestly, I have been busy at work to a point of not even playing co-op. Now its Sat. morning and I am already up, fresh and early, to take a first glance at the train-wreck, which I knew would be there by now ....... one way or another. And boy, WG at its best: I had no expectations, and was just here for the "fireworks" ........... and yes once again: WG "did not disappoint" me. I still think EU-customers are still getting exactly what they deserve with yearning to shower WG with money; for them to basically never miss a single land mine in customer relations. Me? I am even happy I will run in less p2w-ships with p2w trained captains. I also rather give a donation to research-studies at my workplace than to fund WGs p2w-game. I mean whats there to buy from them thats remotely attractive AND not p2w? ............ yeah, I already got all the port slots Ill probably ever need. Meanwhile, even if you disagree with the above, you have to realise that this is how WG pictures their customers: ... and juding by how much of them show up time and time again, angry to not be able to shower them with more money: They may be even right ......

Who knows, you might even l2p there?! (Its not like the OP is after recommendations or tips judging by the other thread; so I am more than willing to oblige).

Well I disagree, AO. Its a p2w ship. Thats a given by now; and not because of the leak but via WG track record. Make it as excrutionally expensive as possible so he least amount of people can afford it. I'd say 1000 € for the p2w pixelboat is even not enough; but then at least then not every second T 9 BB slot will be occupied by "fun" and "unique". You know where this ship is aimed at? T7 is still possible to play, so WG thinks: Yeah we gotta ruin that as well with another p2w-allways-top-tier premium. At this point I wouldnt be surprised if it gets preferential MM, so it never sees T 10 matches; wouldnt that be "fun" and "unique"?

I needed 300 xp for the mission ........ and after a very solid ragequit (my fault, thau shalt simply not play shitty cruisers) I had the mind to try again. Lets be honest: 300 xp is what? Hitting a shell? Ofc half of your regular random team might still be struggling even with that, but ....... lets stay on the positive side: I thought of which ship to pick. How about NC? That one rarely lets me down! Oh boy, big mistake. MM got me pretty hard ....... But the thing is: What a nice match! I even rewatched the replay: There wasnt a single flame. Better yet, even tough this was a pretty crushing defeat, I didnt feel like I was amongst the usual Oxygen-Thieves, and not once did I feel the need to put some righteous flame in their direction. ^^ Some names are vaguely familiar, but anyway: Big shout out to anybody on that list, winning or not, scoring well or not. Its like a played a entirely different game - in a positive kind of meaning ofc. That Kurfürst tough ....... damn I know T 10s are tough but I pumped that one full of lead ....... and he was still afloat. I was somewhat slowing their advance on C and then to B, but since so many pushed there I simply had to bail. At least I finished the mission. Btw notice that single 2ndary hit? (Nah, I didnt detonate anybody. It just so happened that a salvo left the target at I think 8x hp and the 2ndary finished him of - but still: ) _________________ HAX! CG mate! I will probably fail both ......

Thanks for the synopsis. Saves me the waste of time listening to some people with no clue at all.

This game was pretty hilarious. Our Division carried hard ....... except me. I only got the kills. We had a stand-off at a cap against a Fletcher and for a time a Blysca (+ more but less lethal enemies) for what felt like ages. After that ........ some shitty cyclone, ofc. This was rather a ambush at 2nd attempt, but I wrecked their top tier BB pretty hard. Unfortunately those guns hurt .... so I was done as well, since I was in the middle of the remaining enemy ships. Still totally worth it. Fun fact: If my shells would have been a little bit faster, I could have gotten a kill on a Hipper as well, and with that Kraken. ......... and then nobody in the division would speak to me ever again. Our division carried hard, from winning the cap over winning at B as well, while being behind in ships. The true MVPs of the Match were DJ and Kimmie!

Also make them get wrecked to a state of being useless/floating pinatas by less than 10 "unlucky" shell hits from basically anything because bridge/command-structure/radar/rangefinding/turret-training/stearing/propulsion are gone. Thats not possible? Well the Night of the Big Guns at Guadalcanal disagrees. Still not possible if not a chaotic night-action and preferably on a larger scale? How about the Battle of Samar (Last Stand of the Tin Can Armada) where shitty Destroyers and Destroyer-Escorts and Escort Carriers (whose planes rand dry-runs because they were out of ammo ....) were able to drive off a overwhelming force equipped amongst others with IJN Battleships and Heavy Cruisers? So much for some "pocket-realism" .

CG! - mate. ........ but just ....... how?! 150 dragon flags used along the other xp ones?! Meanwhile, my highest captains put to census from all 51 ships: 13 pts: 4x 12 pts: 9x .... and those figures include eg the free 12 pts GB captain.

I got a whopping 100 % WR today. All nail biter games in which I was "heavily engaged in chat" as well. http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/9009-what-were-your-greatest-gaming-achievements-today/page__st__2940__pid__1442199#entry1442199 ..... and know what? Didnt even loose one point of karma. I guess I have to flame them more like how they deserve it anyway ......

Today was a great day ...... kinda. ^^ At least we won, I have Forumites that can stand my bitching (and add some themselves ^^), and I even got some T 8 victories on top. Yep that right: I was out of reports just after 3 games and I could have handed out DOZENS more. I was _this close_ to go back to co-op just after the first game. This game is completely unplayable without divisions. I definitely rather play co-op than together with the Oxygen-Thieves alone; you know that Oxygen could have been used for something of actual merit - for which even lighting farts would qualify. Pic of the day: Because I only got randomly citadeled once, and even survived in the most highly sought after XP-pinata currently in the game - thx to the ARP-Mission.

Just a fair word of warning; this is what happens if you get spotted in your ru-ship: Its like the Pensacola-factor multiplied by a 100 times.

I see him at the helm of a torpedo armed BB, and since I dont use p2w that would be the Gneisenau. Pretty much the same manoeuvre anyway. Yeah I know that movie is soooooooooooooooo bad - but occasionally it has its merits, if only for being hilarious like this: (Its only available on YT in german ..... so sorry for that): "Silence! .......... theres a destroyer hunting us!" ......... That SoaB is already using the lamest skill ever: keen intuition.

Depend if you can answer the following questions with "yes", then you are: Are Caps lava? Is the border your best friend/waifu? Do you turn around before the enemy is even spotted? Is a 20 knts BB "outpacing" your DD? Do you torp form second (3rd, 4th, 5th, ....) row? Are you "using your range" on battleships? Is your "alt"-key broken? Are the taxes on gas so high you prefer to have your CV stationary? Is the chat just a assortment of funny pixels? Do you think going middle on "Two Brothers - Endless Channel-Idiots" immediately is a good idea? Do you think behind even the CV is the best parking spot for your ship? Do you need to need 6 ships to cap an undefended cap? ......... I could be going on for a lot more, but lets just say there is a difference between being a player that happens to play on weekend, and a god damn moronic coward with no plan no matter the time and days he happens to play this game!

Its you switching to torps and then back. Trust me. ;)

Hey I am above 50 %. Thats like ultra-pro compared to what has been going on the last few days. Only once I met a enemy team quite like what I usually have to put up with - and guess what?: It was equally frustrating!: They lost a DD and a cruiser - so they gave us all caps for free (capped 2 times) - and I got so frustrated I picked a gunfight with a cruiser, that I even won ........ Meanwhile the Takao mission is not progressing since its being bottom tier in a t 10 game every time and I cant do anything about shitty teams. If I do get to be top tier even nearly 260 k in a freaking Amagi (thats _double_ High Calibre) with Kraken isnt enough ....... Honestly screw WG and their stupidly frustrating missions.

Take a wild guess how much work this victory was ....... If you guess is: "We were dragging them to victory kicking and screaming (because chat is overated anyway ......)", you would be right. Big shout out to the true MVP of this match, Kostis. He went (as a true BB player should!) against a enemy Fuso. A certain (Battle)cruiser was very thankful for that. Meanwhile aboard a certain Kongo: Take a guess how dead a another "certain" Fuso was. I just love our manoeuvre and would have picked that game for this sole reason alone. Now, if I only could get T8+ wins. I am still at 5 .....

Dat bot-Kraken! Now imagine one of those games in a Cleveland and the enemy gets 4x Tirpitz, bot edition (so they actually attack and are able to aim) and you get ....... well ...... Gl & hf winning that .......
