Check YouTube, Aerroon already did a video on it.

Can we plz get rid of the fact that the top player of the losing team doesn't lose a star? So manny people just play not to lose a star rather than winning. Just so annoying.

Maybe next time you come back after a three months break, plz take your time to do a search on the forums for topics similar to the one you intend to post. Cause, maybe, just maybe, this has been posted before and it's useless to post it again?

So OP notices this after some 3500 battles ( granted is introduced a few months ago ) and has the sense to come to the forums to ask a polite question. This makes OP rather smart but: - Why do you need to come to the forums, shouldn't there be a page on the website where you can find 'basics' such as this? - New players ( not case of OP ) should learn this when they first start playing the game. - So a lot op people actually never read the patchnodes ( or never visit the website / forum apart from premium shop ). What can we do about this, maybe give a pop up screen in game after a new patch was installed with all highlights ( no long text, just the changes without too much info, but with link to website )? - How many more players don't know basics just as this and get frustrated or play in a sub optimal way because of unknown mechanics?

OP, TB cannot launch on top of an Island. If they do so the torps will not hit the water. Also, as requested by previous posters: plz share what ship you were in and what CV was attacking you ( and in what state your own AA was, cause having a 97 AA rating is great in a BB, but if you've been seriously HE spammed, most of that AA will be non existant ).

Hey Dr. Phil, As the latest lines you've been introducing have soom "special gimmicks" ( eg. UK CL smoke only AP, KM BB Hydro, FR CL speed boost... ) are you planning to revisit the oldest lines to give them something special as well?

Oh, but outright lieing on forums ( Fallekezef claiming he plays no cv ) is all right? You have some very special way of thinking. And if you would have bothered to read my previous post you would have seen I said his CV games are worth investing time in, cause they seem more his cookie. But hey, if you'd rather sit in your ivory tower and not read the complete context as to why I posted stats, then be my guest.

LOL, you just can't stop claiming rubbish and straight out lying: So far (out of 636 pvp battles ) you played 74 cv games ( 46 bogue, 17 independence, 11 langley ). So why exactly are you claiming you haven't played them? You are doing terrible overall, those few good games make up for overall teribble average. So on average you are not getting the best out of those flags... Edit ( some green actaully appears on your cv stats ):

You won't be. Don't fool yourself, you are playing a certain way and you're teaching yourself bad ways to play. Unlearning stuff is very hard, so unless you're a special snowflake you won't improve that much to actually be able to matter in serious gamemodes. I do suggest you invest more time in your CVs, they are the only class of ships were you seem to get closer to an average player. And for now, I'd try not to waste your dragon flags as you'll hardly get your moneys' worth out of them.

Hehehe, it is like that. But not for everything, industry wise: most certainly. Wish you all the best in this game, take your time to learn it and you'll have great fun AND you'll be able to use your ships to their maximum potential.

This one's funny, detonated by a ship that never even hit me

@OP, if you see smoke as the only defence for a DD, then you're doing it wrong. I see you are mainly an IJN player, so your biggest defence is your concealement: - You don't have to shoot your guns ( sure finishing off low health target, or whilst kiting away from other DD if not to many other ships close by). Your main weapon is torps, which can be fired from the safety of your concealement; - If you do get spotted by radar, just gtfo. Tho getting caught by radar can be avoided in 90% of the cases by looking at the minimap and the positioning of enemy radar ships; - If you do get in a tricky situation ( mostly cause a gunboat DD caught you off guard ( to avoid 90% of this: use RPF as skill ) ) you can use smoke as a trail to cover your retreat and regain concealement advantage. The fact that you are struggling very hard with credits and making a profit is, I'm sorry to say this, due to your subpar results. Now It's impossible for me to see what's the problem with your playstyle, but it could be bad aiming ( relatively easy to fix ), bad positioning ( a tad harder to fix ), bad knowledgde of certain game mechanics ( easy(ish) to fix ) or just the fact that you have yet to find the ship that suits your playstyle best. But without replays, it's pretty hard to give you any clues on how to improve your playstyle ( and subsequently increase your credit profits ).

Just admit it Moon, you were cheating, like all WGP2L scrubs

Really miss his posts, his trolling was epic. Have yet to meet him in game tho

I believe that for a Clear Sky you need to select the planes in order for them to count, so maybe it's the same when counting records like this ( just guessing ).

If you want to sail in a tier X DD that is prone to being shot at a lot, without the detonation flags, well then it's your own fault for detonating in one. It's annoying to detonate, but as you said, certain classes are more vulnerable to it, but you have flags or a module for it.

Maybe some planes shot down by your cv / attack planes with out clicking on them?

Honestly after looking at all the videos (so no hands on experience), I don't really know if I want to swap the current bombs on my Midway for the new AP bombs. The lack of DOT is massive, plus if you can catch a cruiser with DefAA on cooldown, then that's Always a very viable choice with your bombers, something the new ones seem to fail at.

Because in a cyclone surface ships would be able to fight eachother without any downside to shipworthyness, aiming, reloading...

In what universe does an ognevoi kill a whole squad of Hakuryu planes? How can you mess this one up as a cv? Also, if you see a smoke, why would you fly over it if you know a minotaur is in game? Anyways, I rate this troll post at 1/10

So OP, will you also post us the games where you as a tier VII or VIII were top tier? And then make the same statement that MM is a fail?

But that's exactly what ShiGetsu was explaining, you're better of targetting the BAD players (who is likely to succumb much faster) and thus isolating the GOOD players.

Truth be said, the number that states that a player is of a certain rank needs to be put in some perspective. Some people ( like me ) just didn't care much for ranked and only played a few games, so you might see them with tank 15 or something just cause they played only a few battles. Whereas some players with rank 1 might have grinded their way up there in 500 battles, yes he/she made it to rank one but is still a potato. Second point, rank was a tier VII game last season, we're now talking about tier X. So maybe tier VII just works better for certain players. Or maybe he/she played the entire ranked season in anything other than a UK CL, meaning his rank might have no correlation with his ability to use UK CL. Thirdly, he might have been drunk All I'm saying here is: looking only at the magical number that says rank ... is only looking at half the information. Dig a bit deeper to get better input.

Every game struggles with this. Another prime example is EVE Online. I tumbled into that game a few years ago. It was horrible at first but thing is, there is a lot more cooperation in game, because the game allows you to set up new player training corps etc. All that makes it much easier for a new player to pitch in. It is harder in WOWs, because: still a limit to amount of people in a division, the ways to chat in game are a joke (at best), the setup of training rooms still requires you to mess in a settings file... So yeah, it's harder, even tho there is some good stuff to be found on YouTube. @Fallenkezef: stop spewing out that BS
