Yepp.

To cap B, you do not need to get through. DDs can get through undetected. With spotting, more ships can come.

You need a team to cover middle. Otherwise you will lose B in Domination and in Standard Battle you will have a DD or more in your base. A CV is not strong enough to stop a push of DDs and Cruisers.

Option -Continue playing. How many polls do we need?

My stats do not take a dive.

Yes.

That is what DDs and CVs should do.

Yes, that is a basic tactic for thousands of years. Generals do not attack all enemies at once, but focus their forces on select positions.

Die Aussagen ueber Linien haben sich bisher immer bestaetigt.

Von Tier II bis VI sind genug Spiele da. Von Tier VII bis X kann man eine Tendenz erkennen, die sich bei frueheren Linien auch immer bestaetigt hat.

Use your Shima captain. I would not make dedicated captains for premium ships.

Yes

Which will be at least a week or two.

Do you not have an commander lying around then? Basic Firing Training, Last Stand, Vigilance or Superintendent, more HP, Concealment

Use the same skillset as for Minekaze, Mutsuki.

Bad teams will lose. Better teams should win and not lose because there is nobody at base. Unless your team sleeps, the enemy will not be faster.

Skill of players is never taken into account. MM tries (and fails often) to balance the number of divisions per team.

That is exactly the reason you do it. Losing 50% of the time is not a good success rate. I have seen too often teams lose that were numerical superior, but were on the wrong side of the map. And combining fleets gives you more firepower, makes focus fire easier and in case of CVs in game makes air defense easier.

In domination it is better to go for B from south. In standard battle it is a valid tactic to combine on the side of the base. If your base team fails and you are on the other side, you lose. If you are on your base side, you can still defend the base.

Mathematicly there is no problem (unless you start with a ship you are not good in). But losing again and again can demotivate you and increase your chance of losing. Better to take a break or play a different ship.

Best way is to change companies. I know it is sad, when you worked for a company for years with a good reputation, to see it go down the drain, but you have to think about your own future.

All Tier VIII cruisers should have heal. Depending on performance, all cruisers should get a HP buff. Pensa really needs better concealment. Depending on the resulting performance one might speak about a better firerate for US Tier VIII & IX.

Wie kommst Du darauf das ich mit ihr aufgehoert habe? Habe sie gestern noch gespielt und werde heute mein erstes Spiel mit einem voll ausgeruesteten Schiff machen.

Placebo, ich denke das ist ein gutes Stichwort. Interessant ist das die "Meinungsmacher" sich bei ihren Argumentationen gerne auf die weit unvollstaendigeren Statsseiten beziehen, wenn es ihnen in den Kram passt. Dann sind Zahlen gut genug. Sobald die Zahlen der eigenen Meinung wiedersprechen wird die Datenbasis von Zehntausenden Spielen angezweifelt.
