    Kiting in general describes shooting a ship that is chasing after you. It can be if you are just being chased, but some ships (IJN and Russian DDs, cruisers, some BBs like Hood) might even try to bait such a response. The main advantage of kiting is that your shells have a shorter travel time than your enemies and if you are agile, you can dodge some. Or when in an armoured ship, you might just tank it while angled. It's pretty annoying for others to deal with and is best used to remove a specific player from the battle, by making them focus on you. Or multiple. As you remove yourself from the battle too though, try to gaugge when it might be useful and when not. And no, French are rather consistent.

    Shoot enemy 15-17 km away with HE till they shoot back. Press speed boost. Dodge. Given you do like 40+ knots with speed boost, people have a hard time getting the lead right, especially on a dodging target.

    Being shot by team for not 'obeying'

    I mean, by the same measure, do you expect this thread will make people shoot OP less often? Likely not. And all the pink in the world will not stop it, the other circumstances have to change. But nothing we can do here. So, in a way, telling OP to improve their decisionmaking skills imo is more useful than OP telling us that he doesn't want to get shot and will grind us pink if we do. At the very least I addressed the correct person.

    It's not silly and just because there are worse things you can do doesn't mean what you do is especially useful and justified. I guess next time someone rages about damage farming Conqueror or suiciding Shimas, we can say, "Well, I rather have them, than have someone who actively TKs". Being able to assess the situation at the start shouldn't take 20 seconds into the match, also because you can already start it at the loading screen, if you aren't loading fast enough. So, someone who needs 20 seconds into the match needs like 40 seconds to come to one of the easiest decisions to be made in a game? How are they ever going to make a timely call in response to a spontanously evolving situation during the battle?

    Yamato or Nelson? Frankly, Yamato is harder to get through grind than Nelson. Especially as Yamato requires grinding a specific line, Nelson you can grind with whatever you want. Technically, Nelson is free and in practice, the amount of free exp is within the boundaries a mortal being can still farm within reasonable time if they put in the effort. Nelson also is not time restricted like some mission marathon. If you want to use the logic that potential exp conversion for Nelson is a cash grab, than the entire game is. And at that point I'd prefer if we not use the rather derogatory term cash grab and refer to it as a business model, which pay-to-progress-faster is. And these folks need something to pay their living expenses from.

    My original post stated and not "that others deem to be pointless". As you might guess if you read my other posts here, this includes taking 20 seconds at the start just to figure out where to go in a DD. Unless you want to tell me what hidden purpose that serves that only looks silly on the minimap. I'd prefer if we would stay clear of pointless relativism that might look like OP could actually be right in wasting 20 seconds on indecision.

    Some of the things you do and that irritate the ignorant fools serves a purpose though. But what's the point of pretty much wasting time? You are figuratively shooting yourself and your team with that, so even if you don't literally get shot in return, it's questionable gameplay.
  10. HaachamaShipping
    Not like Nelson costs you anything though. Yes, you can pay money to get your free exp instead of grinding, but by that measure Yamato is a cash grab, because you could buy your way to free exp it.

    They are training for post rework, maybe, when they need to do this too. But really, it's just infuriating how garbage the gameplay is this week and I basically started to play more Kii, just because the AA is so worth it. Also Ryuujou, because no need to rage at the CV, when you are the CV. Also, ez WR.

    as said, if you take 20 seconds, no, that is not justified. you might not deserve being shot, but you deserve at the very least the criticism. But you seem to not want to learn, so, whatever. Continue getting shot by those with less patience than me.

    And I criticised nothing but those 20 seconds yet, because it's the one case where you don't even need to see the battle. There just is no excuse.

    Dunno what happened, but this week, the amount of stupid behaviour just kind of exploded. And sadly so did the CV population, where some are laughably incompetent. I can only encourage AA builds.

    Yeah, ok, you are not a 40% winrate crapshot that is completely helpless. But that's no reason to not try to improve. If you'd stop spamming posts and tried to take the valid criticism of your playstyle, you could maybe one day be a good player. Also, frankly, just screenshot any toxic ingame exchanges after being shot and create a ticket to report it. More useful to solve the teamkilling than posting here. Nah, most of just would prefer if our DDs wouldn't yolo off without support or take their sweet time to do their job.

    Not worth a volley, but certainly worth criticism. And personally, worth a report if I feel like wasting one on it. Also your last sentence actually is an absolute statement...

    HaachamaShipping replied to PassTheSalt's topic in General Discussion

    My, you are flattering me. Is it irrelevant though? What do you expect will change from this topic? I'll tell you. Nothing. However it is best to avoid doing silly crap that serves no purpose and just irritates others. It's not ok that they shoot you for it, but everyone would be better served if you'd not continue your questionable gameplay. It's not even just for terrible team mates. Even you yourself win more often and winning gives you more rewards than losing. You took 20 seconds. You said so yourself. The only reason to take 20 seconds at the start of the battle is if you have difficulties loading into the game. But not for deliberation. You can deliberate already during the loading screen you know. Look at the lineup, look at the spawns on the map, think about where you can go.

    You have 7+k games. You should actually know by now what a game plan is. I take at most 5 seconds at the start of the match while powering up the engines to see where the others go to make adjustments to where I go, but usually it is set. After all, I know where I spawned, what game mode it is, where others spawned, what enemies to expect. That's all the info I need and after 20 seconds I'd be none the wiser. Please stop dilly-dallying around, as a DD you got a job to do. What if a CV would need 20 extra seconds to decide what plane to launch. Naturally people get pissed.

    HaachamaShipping replied to PassTheSalt's topic in General Discussion

    I don't understand why people shoot yolo DDs. Usually the enemy shoots them up fast enough... But really, you need 20 seconds to find out where to go?
  22. HaachamaShipping
    Ideally, most cruisers are as far away from DDs as is necessary to make any enemy DD that could be spotting the cruisers likely spotted by the friendly DD. e.g. Chapa could follow a DD by 5 km, given even a Kagero would have to first let itself get detected before it would spot the Chapayev. BBs follow maybe 1-3 km behind that, which for concealment specced ships allows similar comfort, while secondary specced ships or other absurdities can follow closer to the DD (after all, you already gave up pretenses of subtlety when sacrificing concealment for close quarters fun). This would spacing would be most effective in DD scouting, would keep both DDs and BBs easily within the cruiser's defAA bubble, keeps cruisers close enough to shoot up whatever the DD spots and allows cruisers to easily rochade with BBs, if necessary, once enemies were found and the engagement begins, so the squishies are behind the heavies. Ideally...

    Which forum members have you seen in random battles?

    HaachamaShipping replied to Cobra6's topic in General Discussion

    I actually was concerned, as I run hydro and spawned mid. With a Gearing and a Yamato. Given I don't entrust those with my AA defense, I went C. In that sense, our B people mostly went C too. I first tried to help work over that Z-23, which I had a few times, but it escaped, so next target was Shima and then everyone of you pushed through and I tried to get some distance and work on the flanking Zao. By the time I was done, the whole push through Z seemed pretty disorganised, the Montana was dying, the Conkek sadly didn't give me much to shoot at and ate torps, then I tried to get cits in the sides of the Hinden and Zao and sadly the match ended, as I think your side ran out of points. My main issue with my performance was how I had to spam HE basically for most of the game and didn't manage to make the AP felt. In the end, I feel like I just about broke even in pulling my weight by occupying that Zao.

    I mean, I pull that when we have like 5 BBs and so noone cares if three stick together. And triple Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya is lulzy and at T5, I don't really care. Or triple Varyag div. I do get what you mean, but just saying, just because you can [edited]up doesn't mean it needs to be hardcoded that you can't sign up in three ships of the same type (except CV). Else, can we please have something to prevent potatoes to sign up in ship type x so my CVs/BBs/CAs/DDs aren't crap?
