MM - Good team players win matches, not tiers
Ictogan replied to xenopathia's topic in General Discussion
Player skill is a stupid thing to take into account. It means that good players will be more likely to be matched with tomatoes and bad players will be more likely to be matched with good players. -
The new ribbons look fugly, but I like the additional information.
-
I prefer the old version when it comes to looks, but prefer the new version when it comes to information(ricochets and such).

Which forum members have you seen in random battles?
Ictogan replied to Cobra6's topic in General Discussion
Just met cro_pwr playing his Des Moines while I was having my first battle in my Benson. My team managed to win and we both placed first in our teams. -
Even with the chance of being hit being reduced by 50%, it would make using smoke for firing out of it useless. And the 3s delay to becoming invisible after not being detected anymore made using smoke for running away kinda useless, so the only reason that would remain for using smoke would be if you wanted to sit still in it, but not firing your guns. So US DDs wouldn't need to be buffed in some way if their smoke firing was taken away?

Big ranked battles compilation thread so we dont have multiple other threads discussing the same thing.

It's also a problem of shell arcs. -
Yubari and Sims back on sale in Premium Shop
Ictogan replied to OldGrandad's topic in General Discussion
Got the Sims today and it seems really nice. Great speed and AA compared to the Mahan with the drawback of crappy torps. It's only a 4% difference in DPM between the Mahan and Sims though. -
You can use the "P" button to turn off secondaries.

Really? Taking a class completely out of the game for a few minutes for no [edited]reason?
-
They can be rather annoying for CVs too. Your planes are approaching that Nagato and suddenly they are in the center of a Kutuzov's AA because you can't see ships further than 3km away from your planes.

Do you guys use 4th row Captain Skills on you BBs (and if YES - which ones)?
Ictogan replied to Leo_Apollo11's topic in Battleships
AFT and/or manual AA. -
The Forum Tavern - Off Topic Thread - Bring Your Own Beer !
Ictogan replied to bazdaris's topic in Off-Topic
Izumo is great, you just have to know how to play her. Actually it's pretty easy to kill a broadside Izumo, even from longer ranges. The important part is that you have to shoot below the turrets, not below the superstructure. -
I highly doubt that the penetration will be low enough to not overpenetrate superstructures.

Irrevocable rank 12 not best solution. One more irrevocable rank REALLY needed.
Ictogan replied to albinbino's topic in General Discussion
Pretty sure the brackets are 16+, 11-15, 6-10 and 2-5. I don't think I've ever seen someone with a rank above 10 after I got 10 myself. -

Ictogan replied to txtspeak's topic in General Discussion
I have to oppose this opinion. At t7 the CVs start getting a good amount of resupplies and the AA is quite a bit weaker than t8+. When comparing these numbers you should keep in mind that they include the extra xp of premium accounts and people using a Saipan are probably more likely to use a premium account than people using a Hiryu. -
It also gives the DD less time to react because he sees you later.
-
Think I'm gonna try it on my Kutuzov and various DDs as it seems like it might be useful when using smoke.
-
Still won't work when the cruiser is on low HP or the BB gets lucky with RNG.
-
In my experience it punishes cruisers most by forcing them to a range where BBs can citadel them regardless of angle and they can't dodge. Only chance a cruiser has against a BB in a cyclone is a successful torp rush which may not be possible depending on the situation.
-
MM did a poor job of balancing BBs, but I doubt your team would have won even if they were properly balanced, because their BBs don't seem to have done much anyway. Looks like your team just played badly.
-
F*ck yes, this is the best news I've heard about wows in a long time.
-
Haven't played my Amagi in a while, but haven't noticed anything like this on my Izumo which has exactly the same guns. Still able to citadel Yamatos, Montanas, etc. with it.
-
Why does everyone hate the Ognevoi? It's a very solid ship imo.
-
Who was the "wise" guy that made the new upgrades in the last patch?
Ictogan replied to Anthoniusii's topic in Archive
Those ranges have been EXACTLY the same before the patch. And quite frankly if someone wants more than 20km range on a ship, he's playing it wrong. -
I'm not saying that these nerfs weren't bad, just that it isn't really standard practice for WG to do that kind of stuff as the majority of premium ships still are at least as strong as they were when they were released. Although for some ships, I actually think that really should change - looking mostly at certain t8 cruisers, the gremm reaper and OP-erator Nikolai.
