That would have been the Tier VIII.... You expect too much.

But you do not, you hide behind false accusations.

No, for being dishonest...

You can do what you want. But do not complain when you are getting called out on it.

I did not say anything against voicing your displeasure. I just consider it false and dishonest when you do not say so and instead hide behind false accusations.

That is your personal problem. The rules are quite clear. When you do not like them, just say so, instead of claiming something else. We have too many people on this forum that pretend to complain about bugs, OP™ or UP™ mechanics, ships, etc, instead of just saying that they do not like how some game material is implemented and just want WG to change it according to their (the players) wishes. But that would just expose their egocentrical nature, so they make stuff up instead.

You wrote: " 'Dishonest' is the meaning I mostly mean, here."

Do you plan to glue that to your screen? There are game crosshairs that are similar to that (wihtout the percentages).

Which is a bit questionable from the realism perspective...

But that is not dishonest, as you just explicitly stated! That is you not liking the mechanics. And when you write "dodgy", and mean dishonest, as you stated, instead of of not liking the mechanics, then THIS is dishonest!

There is nothing dishonest about the spotting mechanic, the rules are known.

You can. Either get better, alternate between other Tiers or pay money. Somehow WG has to keep the servers running. Many player think, me included, that the upkeep on higher Tiers should be more expensive, to discourage bad players from spending too much time there. At the moment it is quite easy to play high Tier and make money with the all the free perma camos flying around, economic signals and free premium time. There are too many players that want to play only Tier X. That is the reason the MM of others Tiers is messed up. Unfortunately many players do not belong there and whine about the game and its mechanics, instead of getting better or playing a lower Tier were they could have success. Someone like you plays one of five battles below Tier IX to finance your Tier IX and X battles, something you might do anyway. Even if you were forced, it is not a big issue. For bad players it is maybe one battle in three, which is not a huge issue either.

That you do not know what "dodgy" means?

Do you not think you are overdoing it? How many threads did you open about that?

Planes, Radar and Fire Penalty are a normal mechanics of the game.

This is the way ships come to the armory for quite some time now. Thank you for noticing. As many other companies, WG is not interested to sell their new, highly anticipated merchandise on discount.

That seems to be a personal problem. My DD get spotted and shot at when I have an enemy inside my concealment range. And I see other ships when they are supposed to be seen.

Das ist auch ne Behauptung, die noch nie bewiesen wurde.

When you always have these situations, that should be no problem then.

The mechanics works as always...

When you still can sink DD, that should be valid. And there are quite a few DD too sluggish to react.

But that is not the case. They get sunk as usual.

Have you taken a look at the playerbase recently? Is playing a ship badly a rare occurance?

It was 14 from start and it is quite easy to get these "report". When people do not read the description of the event, it does not matter how much they write.

Apart from the fact that they are not screwed...
