That was never different. When you do not use boosters, it takes time. But you should have enough of them. That is a 1400 Base XP match without boosters: Then you should activate the boosters. Looks like you used them before and now you stopped for a reason.

Where do you earn less? Do you use less boosters?

a: Chat (Return Taste drücken), b: Kurzbefehle (B Taste gedrückt halten und mit Maus auswählen), das ist aber auch in den Einstellungen im Spiel zu sehen... Das ist ein Thema für sich. Du musst die Panzerung des Gegners kennen und wissen was deine Geschosse an Panzerung durchschlagen, alternativ kann man auch testen, es aber wirklich von Deinem Schiff abhängig Nimm die Japaner, aber andere sind auch ok. Das kommt darauf an wieviel Geld Du investieren möchtest. Der Klassiker bei den Kreuzern ist die Atago auf Tier VIII. Sag nein zu Ubooten.... BB sind Schlachtschiffe und CV Flugzeugträger, das die Nomenklatur der US Navy Je besser Dein Kapitän, desto besser Dein Schiff. Schiffe, die man nicht oder selten spielt, brauchen keinen Kapitän.

But the slots are there... WG cannot create players out of thin air, unless you want to face bots.

Skill is the defining factor. Try your luck with being afk and experience yourself how that will get you.

What is the problem with DD?

There is nothing mystic about it. They make up your stats.

Sure...

Some people even believe that...

I play Gearing without LM and I feel more confident in her. Her higher gun DPM allows me to remove threats more quickly and my torps work vs DD. Vs bigger ships YY does more damage with her torps, but Gearings torps are not weak either.

Then you know why his whining is not helpful.

Theses players do not play in one enviroment. We have CoOp, Random, Operations, Ranked, Training and Events. Random offers 10 Tiers to play. Just take a look at the queue numbers. You see dozens, maybe hundreds of players, not tenthousands. People are whining and declare the game to be dead since 2015... One has to be deluded to think that WG acts on that feedback.

Read his posts. He is beyond complaining.

You are mostly incapable to voice your opinion, which leads you to vent your frustration by mindless downvoting. You cannot stop yourself, since you are whining and doomsaying about the game for over two years (basicly since you joined) and you are still here and playing it. Either it is not that bad or one should wonder why a person sticks to something that the person dislikes this much...

You will be here longer than me. Somebody has to do all the downvotes.

These other games can use skill based, MM because they have a bigger audience and smaller teams in game, without the playerbase being divided among different game modes and Tiers. And in the current Random MM, personal performance is the deciding factor. And no, PR and MM monitor are based on WR and therefore useless as a measurement, which was explained dozens of time in this thread.

If he is in weapon range and you have line of sight, yes. If he is not in line of sight or out of weapon range, no. Line of sight can be modified by smoke.

Maybe they do not think it is a good idea to reward players for playing badly or punish players for playing well, apart from the fact that they need to invent a measurement for skill, that is not based on WR first. There was a certain popular tank game that introduced skill based MM and it was awful.

"if the teams are roughly the same strength", then the teams win around 50% of the time, otherwise they are not "roughly the same strength". The more incompetent a player is, the more this 50% winrate will be an improvement.

Except this: Skill based MM would make this players happy, as they would win more. Their lack of skill would get compensated either by better teammates or weaker opponents, depending on which route is chosen.

Kommt da noch was? Ohne Boni funktionieren die Crediteinnahmen wie vorher, sind teilweise sogar höher, gerade für schlechtere Spieler Das durfte man vorher auch oder hat sie sich erspielt Aber das muss doch jeder selber wissen ob er da mitbietet. Niemand ist dazu gezwungen. Wer nicht will kann es doch einfach ignorieren.

And that is the problem. WG is catering to these customers.

Das kommt darauf an wie Du Dein Schiff ausstattest. Und die Faehigkeiten eines Schiffes haengen nicht allein von der Feuerreichweite ab.

What is the alternative? Should game companies run on goodwill?

That is how all commercial games work. They run until they do not earn money anymore You could have told us that dogs get wet, when they jump into water. That would have had a similar information yield...
