Honestly, took me two games to get 5 starts and then I stopped playing it. It's some nice rewards, but now I'm really really looking forward to then second part. Oh and: if you wanna get 5 stars, you gotta play with your friends.

Too many weekend teams, sometimes you can drag them to victory, but most of the times I just lose. What's really depressing is looking at players' stats afterwards...

And how does that solve the issue with ship upgrades?

Thx for the info

But it will trend to a 50% winratio as I've explained. Sure, it won't go as fast as I've said but the trend will be to pull everything towards 50%. Hence using WR alone is useless. As is any other statistic on it's own. This game has so much data one can use to attempt to determine a skill level. Limiting to just one would be retarded. Average damage is also tied to your opponent, if you encounter good players whilst playing a BB you're less likely to one shot them. Get terrible opponents and those devastating strikes will keep coming. All statistics of a single game are linked to all players in that game ( get a very good team and you might get less damage cause they know how to win, get a bad team and you might be able to get more damage cause your team sucks , get good DDs and you'll get no capping points in your CA, get terrible DDs and you'll be forced to cap in your CA... ). Therefore quantifying skill is very very hard, and I've yet to see a value that manages to do so.

2 torps = one detonation = unlucky. Getting killed by CV 1 minute in game is factually impossible. And ofc it's your CVs fault and not yours... Please tell me what you've been smoking, cause it's some good ****. Calling the Conqueror the easiest BB to sink? Maybe you need to look at tour positioning and correct use of your superheal. And it's super stealthy so getting out is soo much easier than any other BB when getting focussed. ? And there you have the problem, no need to even switch ammo cause HE does it all. That's just braindeath gameplay. Look at your positioning. If you always die first, you probably play to aggressive.

Then what was the point you were talking about?

OP, might I suggest the following: - Stop buying more premium ships for now, - Start grinding the US DD line from 1 to 10 without using free XP, - Look up some movies on how to play the US DDs Why? Sorry to say this, but you spend a lot of money on a game, and yet you fail to grasp the basics of its' gameplay. This shows in your statistics.

At last I managed a decent game in the KGV.

Since you only quote the last sentence, I'll assume you agree with the statement before that sentence. Ofc there should be other statistics than WR, WR in itself is a meaningless statistic.

Let's put it this way, why fo players attain 70% WR and such ( let's forget about the advantages divisions give )? Because they can carry teams made up of potatoes, nothing more, nothing less ( and I'm not saying carrying is easy ). Unfortunatly, it'll be much harder to carry in a game of 'unicums', they are less prone to make bad plays, they should (in theory) know how to communicate and how to work together. So their own skill level is less imposing on the result of the game. In that league he'll win or lose 50% ( give or take ).

Yes but shifting in and out isn't going to be fun either. And then there is the question on the ratings you'll use: will you go ship per ship, or rather per ship line, or per nation? I'd like to see this into action but I really have doubts ... NB As for all shifting to half: if you play 1000 battles at 60% WR and another 1000 at 50% WR you get 55%, go to 5000 at 50% and you're at 51,6%. So in the end you'll converge to 50%.

Okay, but then on what will you base the skill? I truly hope WR will not be part of it. Know why? Throw all 60% WR people in one league, if they are all more or less of the same level, the results will even out and in the end they'll all end up with a 50% WR. Same with potatoes below 40% WR, their WR will just flatten out.

He left and all he does now is rant. What is there to take serious about that? What fight are we talking about?

Well, it's either the target or some of your teammates that reported you. If it's the target: nothing can be done about that one but I don't really experience that in Khaba. It could be your team if all you do is shoot BB and ignore the enemy DD when they pop up ( questionmark ) ?

If you've stopped playing, why are you still on the forums ranting about the game? US CA line is really worth it in the end. The Des Moines is a great finishing touch that is worth all the hardship and suffering.

It's not because you have purple stats that you can go about insulting everyone... Could you for once admit you were wrong, or is that too much to ask?

Just go to warships today that'll give you an idea. To OP: CW is a TEAM effort. Preferably a team that knows GAME MECHANICS and works with TACTICS to match them. And sailing blind into a cap with enemy radar cruisers not spotted isn't a viable tactic. Sitting still in cap is even worse of an idea. And smoking up in a cap and sitting still in it is signing your own death sentence. So explain me, why on earth would you sail in a cap, pop smoke and sit still in it? ( PS: I'm mostly intersted into the popping smoke issue )

Not in the same range. Go look up some tutorials on YouTube or something. Cause your lack of knowledge regarding game mechanics makes you useless in CW anyways...

Tell me again which competitive is played at tier IX where Missouri is in play? German tier X DD is the best capping DD in game. German tier X BB is the second easiest BB in game to play. German tier X CA has great armour, amazing guns, great hydro and some torps. And now you also want radar? Btw, have you actually already played these tier X ships?

Your error was getting caught in a smoke sitting still. Has nothing to do with you not having radar. Even if your DD would have had radar you would've been caught. 101 to deal with radar: - look at enemy team and see who (potentially) has radar ( you already fail here ... ) - asap find out where they spawned and sail accordingly ( and keep constant track of this ) - if none are spotted, avoid locations that are in radar ranges where ships can sneak into

And the fact that the Conq has all of these together isn't a gimmick?

Why should they strive to do such a thing? Maybe they should limit the amount of top tier ships in a battle but the more you level it the more boring games will be cause you'll meet a smaller variaty oh ships. Don't see a one tier game as balanced either ( wonder what ships will dominate tier VIII and which will be less valuable...)

Because the +/- 2 MM doesn't need to be fixed, it isn't the issue, nor is it outdated. Sure it adds for some thresholds in grinding but we can't have everything be super easy? As for bad players: yes, but skill based matchmaking is a nightmare to put into the game. What basis would be used to determine one's skill? @OP: You say yourself that you do not want to spend doubloons / captain XP / free XP to avoid having to play a stock ship with an untrained captain. That's a choice you make and as you already have multiple tier VIII ship you are well aware of what you're getting into. Rather than blaming the MM, maybe you should rethink your choice and see if nothing can be done there.
