Can't believe this hasn't been mentioned, but if there is another CV player on your team then let each other know your loadouts and then discuss a common strategy between you that utilises your combined strength rather than you both sending everything down one side and at the same target; plus hundred other things you would do better in a coordinated manner rater than solo.

I've been wondering about this. With there being fewer and fewer "new" players then surely now the majority of people between 1-7 are experienced players grinding new lines? They may not have mastered the tactics for the particular class or ship they're playing, but they shouldn't be an easy kill anymore.

\Rant If your team is winning with a 50 point advantage with a minute to go till we win, and the enemy cannot possibly cap then please please please please REALLY please with sugar coating on top do not take your CV/BB/CA/DD or your aged grandmother or anything that has 140 HP left within in range of ANYTHING that can kill you! To see it once is memorable, to see it twice is disconcerting to see it three times in one day will ensure that the maggots of the underworld will feast upon your body for eternity while your mother is maturely engaged by a goat in front of your eyes! /rant

Good point I didn't consider night action, I stand corrected. I include the op in my retraction.

Don't have a problem with torpedoes per se, especially not from DDs. I do think though that torps should have an RNG of a dud one occasionally though my gripe is primarily against TB borne torps rather than DDs. I don't see the RNG in your argument though. Angles and ship's armour aren't RNG, that's just physics.

So the forums have been annihilated, which makes my response to you superfluous I guess. Anyway, the first response told him everything he had to know in a concise polite manner. Your response was just plain abuse to somebody who was ignorant. So rather than educate him like the first responder you chose to abuse him. You could have looked away and just ignored it or even added some more info and pointers to resources, but you chose to publicly abuse him. Therefore, you exhibited no better behaviour than that which you attacked the OP for. So contrary to your own view, you do not have much self-awareness, at least in your actions. I hope I have demonstrated that to you in a non-snarky non-hypocritical way.

This is very true and happens more often than the rant I had to vent. re. multiquote - point taken

Explain to me after they have hit the water and become torpedoes rather than lumps of ordnance what RNG they have compared to a ship's shells in flight?

Separate turret control - would like to see that documentary you watched as it goes against all naval procedure as you want to bring all firepower to bear on "a" target. Though it is possible to do for sure. Radar was for aircraft not for spotting ships, radar cannot look over the horizon so eyeball is just as good. Though it was used for tracking and submarine spotting, but they don't exist ingame. Why control of secondary but not AA? Do you think it feasible that a captain of an Omaha or Aoba could handle main, secondary and torpedoes in a given moment? Torpedoes I agree should have some RNG to them There was no safety protocol to RoF it was how quickly the crew could load another shell that defined RoF, they're cannons not machine guns.

Point is, I was in port 20 mins ago and I haven't been 6 mths in the Artic and has been pointed out when in port all rust would be removed. If you want reality then sail out with all the damage you incurred err.......just 10 minutes ago? If WG had made their observation with refurbished ships in port you could/would still say, "So all in all.. Nice observation and job made by Wargaming " So your observation is redundant.

So out of all the people who answered only the non-tester could be polite? Yes he fucked up and yes he was arrogant, so politely point out the error of his ways and let him stew when he achieves self-realisation. Hardly anybody reads the manual nowadays and I too wish they would, but it is what it is. Would you rather him learn the error of his ways or think this community is just like WoT?

Interesting concept in general that would need some thrashing out. Sometimes none of us deserve a compliment to be fair, but I like the general thrust of your proposal.

Yup, stayin alive is seen more as a 70s disco track than a viable win option.

Find a place by my side as we look down on the befallen ;-)

Nobody minds a bit of rust, but the OP's point, if I'm not wrong, is that the WG texturers have gone a bit overboard about it; excuse the pun. There is no end point in painting or texturing, the job can always be added to, the point is to know when to stop. In this case it was a couple of hours earlier.

Agreed have a +1

Have you ever considered the flip side that you may have lasted way much longer than you deserved to in some games because RNG from enemy fire meant that you weren't blown out of the water?

It's odd isn't it, in other threads people complain about BBs camping at the back all match and in this thread you hear tales of BBs leading from the front and even capping. Somewhere in between lies the truth I guess.

So always remember to use your heal just before game ends then.

As others have said, enjoy it, you're still making money. Wait till later when you can even win and still come out losing credits. Slight tangential question. If I use the ingame mend/repair ability on a BB or tier 9+ CA does that cost me credits or is it a freebie? All I see in the end report is an auto repair bill, but it doesn't say whether in game repairs are a part of that.

Ummm, you're absolutely sure are you that ranked players won't be abusive assholes too? Mindset and skillset are two different matters. Ranked players will by definition be competitive and I find that it's the overly competitive who tend to lose their rag the quickest when they think their team has let them down.

Stats in a dice game are damned accurate and can be taken as good long range predictors, stats involving human thought processes and actions however can be very misleading, but I see the point you were trying to make. http://www.freemathhelp.com/rolling-dice.html

And after a whole day working at McDonalds you would go home and eat cheeseburgers?

So what you're basically saying throughout this whole thread and others is that anyone who border hugs is stupid and a bad tactical player as they are easier to hit? I just want to be clear where you're coming from.
