You're probably right Hades, but it always feels like I wasted a smoke ( and it usually bites back later on ). So what can you do?

You yourself state that losing multiple games in a row is annoying ( aka not fun ). Rather than going on a rant about elitists players, maybe they just like to win games to have fun? Nobody of the elitists cares that there are good and bad players, what most people do care about is good and bad TEAMplayers. Because that's usually what makes one side win, playing as a team. And there's nothing more unfun than players who seem to think "screw you guys, I do what I want, I don't care about the rest of the team, **** you all" and they can claim all they want about having fun etc etc. In the end this is still a teamgame, you want to play solo: set up a training room and go shoot bots or something. But if you play random/ranked/team.... at least play like a team to win the game.

Look up tutorials and learn the game mechanics. This is not the real life, it's a game.

It's not just DDs, been playing Gearing this morning, actually sharing smoke for team, conclusion is: - most BBs just sail through to it, or do their best to go next to it for some reason, - I call timers and still they get caught sitting death still in the water, - not a single player, not even ONE, says thank you...

Don't see a problem at tier VI. Maybe Perth might be an issue with the absence of radar, but tbh. You rarely encounter them in randoms, so I think they wont be as widespread as belfast last game. Now tier VIII is a different story, but hey: everyone is free to buy those premiums with doubloons. So if you feel they give an unfair advantage: stop being a freeloader, buy a ship and win a lot more (cause they're OP) and support your game in the process...

You want to claim that the majority of players doesn't want to win? It's not like this goes in against the basic human mindset. We're a competitive species.

Maybe stop seal clubbing in your König and Wyoming and start playing cruisers. That should teach you the importance of positioning in a cruiser ( aka using terrain to your advantage ). And if you're always the one taking all the damage, you're probably playing too agressive.

It's pointless trying to have a discussion with Avenger, might as well just ignore him. Will save you a lot of typing, which he doesn't read anyways (or only in his twisted way). On topic, was really hoping the Lexington might stand a chance to be on par/close to Shokaku. From the vids I've seen so far, not really convinced. A pity.

So the problem is only with clan divisions? A bit selective though, if you have a bunch of friends joining in two divisions (whilst not being in a clan) the chat reports will still follow. And then you can't even police it. Just stay out of chat for anything that's not tactical gameplay talk/hf & hi's/response to genuine questions. Any other thing you say is almost always a guaranteed report.

You know why the impact of a CV is soo big? Because of those potatos on the enemy team going solo yolo and then getting spotted and subsequently killed. The reason manual attack (not special attack) was removed was to discourage people from sealclubbing in CV and make the CV learning curve easier (WG logic I know). So a CV player by default does not by other premiums? Can you generalize even more? Glad you talk about OP P2W carriers and forget to mention all the non CV OP premiums, but I guess that shows, once more, how narrow minded you are

You actually need to look at all statistics together. Just picking one or two is cherrypicking. Your survival rate and hit ratio are important as well. For some ships you also need to add torpedo hit ratio and spotting damage (which we can't really see). Rather than XP (premium is taken into account so meh) I'd like to see capping and cap contesting mentioned. And ofc the avg tiers you play one, statpadding at low tiers is a thing

1) Yet you fail to see the issue with your behaviour. A guy brings up an issue, and all you do is go after the person and not discuss the issue. So when I point that out, you simply ignore it. Very mature 2) There is no such cap. The only hard caps are: having 1 CV max per team from tier VIII onwards and having a maximum difference of 1 DD in between teams. 3) Ohhh, so because you have NEVER seen it, it must be true. So erm, out of curiousity, did you actually see the moon landings? Or are they fake news as well cause you didn't see it?

Oh, but at high tiers not that much faster as BBs have very good speed and good manoeuverability. So if he did get behind you, you got outplayed. But it seems you didn't mean it litteraly. Now you are saying a DD should not come as close as possible to maximize his torp hits? He should play from max range like a potato (like a BB sniping?). You are saying that a DD playing stealthy is a bad thing? Like seriously dude, what else should he do? Open up with his guns, type in chat "Big BB I'm here and torping you. Now is the time to turn and slow down?" Do you actually hear what you're saying?

OP at least tried to explain what he said in relation to the gameplay. You just outright attacked his person. If you fail to see the difference there...

So if you know a DD is behind you, why do you need radar? All you need to do is keep sailing forward and you'll have the biggest chance to dodge them torps (honestly, a DD torping you from behind is the dumbest DD ever)

Problem is that in games where you have BBs camping in the back and being the last to survive, they also tend to end up higher in the scoreboard because they live longer thus get to shoot more. However does that mean that they played good and that their team was bad? To OP: BLUF: Go back to tier 7/8 and start your grinding from that point and complete it without free xp-ing. LONG start working on lower tier CVs first, you'll probably need to look into target prioritizing because that's where the CV stands out. Pick up kills on the important ships. Also, how's your spotting? My advice, work a bit longer on Shokaku before giving Midway another go. Missouri isn't too bad damage wise, but your survival rate is very low? Do you tend to die a lot early on, or more late game? For BBs, honestly: go back to NC and start your route from there. Without skipping anything. Your Izumo stats aren't bad, but compare them to your Amagi stats and you'll notice that Amagi did perform better. So, I'd say, get back to Amagi to get some more experience.

Got anything usefull to say? Or just your usual rubbish? OP, while I understand what you are saying, complaining on the forums isn't going to help. WG have stated in recent messages that they are looking into a CV and BB rework/balance. So give them some time to come up with something. And for now, why not join the dark side and play BB? I found this greatly amusing as there is nothing more enjoyable than punishing another BB showing you his broadside.

BLUF: WG, since German BB got hydro and you are now considering giving radar to UK BB. Which special consumables will you hand out to US and IJN BB? LONG: Your latest lines seem to be more about giving each new line something that stands out. Something to make them special. We had the UK CL with AP + smoke, the French with speedboost, the KM BB with hydro and now you're looking to give the UK BB radar. It looks to me like you're really trying to make each line stand out. So, for older cruiser lines I don't see an issue, they have their own gimmicks ( apart from the IJN line that has nothing ). But the two old BB lines get nothing special ( US get great AA you say? well, nowadays almost any BB can get great AA ), so do you have plans (in your balance scheme) to change up the consumables a bit more for those two BB lines?

My 5 cents: You want the floaty shells that bounce off the moon first? Get Cleveland. You want the AA boat? Get Cleveland You want a squishy boat? Get Cleveland You want good concealement? Don't take Cleveland.

Atago: 23-3 = 20 Haven't touched this one in weeks, don't feel the need to play it . Mikhail Kutuzov: 47+1=48 Like the playsyle a lot more.

Campaign was indeed very nice, well balanced missions so GG there. To bad the main reward was handing out a tier VIII german BB, a class that allready has a serious overpopulation in game...

I disagree with that statement that; "if you add a second one they are unstoppable (which at hight tiers is probably true, hence why 2 CVs per match are limited to lower tiers) thus one CV is overpowered". There is simply no logical connection between both statements. Maybe we're not asking for a CV buff, but rather a nerf of certain BBs AA. It's ridiculous that a singly BB can be an AA death zone whilst being solo yolo around the game. Or maybe it isn't? And that brings us to your last statement, I do agree that WG will need to make some changes to core mechanics to balance out CVs, however if you're looking for a mechanic that'll remove the skill discrepancy then I think you'll be disappointed no matter the outcome.

Be proud of yourself, be very proud. Maybe a game where teamplay is needed isn't for you, just go play sologames where you don't bother anyone.

So are you asking for an icon that shows if they have equipped radar or if they are radar capable?

Have you been playing lately? There is nothing short over an overprecense of BB atm. The whole meta is BB first atm. That's probably because they are a very difficult and unforgiving class for potatoes to play in right? BB have, skillwise, a disproportionate influence on this game. Why do you want CVs to be the same on MM as any other class? One CV is no problem, don't sail solo and anticipate the drops when they come in. I died once to a CV today in my BB, that was a stock Izumo sailing solo on a flank. My mistake for being solo and having no defence against that CV. But you sound like avenger, just too stubborn to adjust your playstyle when a CV appears in a match..
