Camperdown

I fear you have a rather optimistic view on WG behaviour and intentions. Their actions seem to indicate they don't give a flying what we think or say. The beancounters and sales types are in control. Trick the player base in spending money in any way possible and the consequences. Their behaviour is amoral and of the zero sum kind: their profit can only come at our loss. So they don't listen to our feedback to see what they could improve. They only try to figure out how to trick more people into sending cash. Unfortunately that means obfuscation and catering to the lowest common denominator: new players with no skill. They are probably the group they can still fool. So what we write on this forum is of no consequence.

A bit of teamwork, and a bit of skill. The current meta is fed and reinforced by too many players who are quite clueless on how to play. So they play the only way they can: with BBs or supercruisers with large health pools camping in the back. If they try anything else, they just die. Too many times I have asked powerful ships to come forward and help. And when they did, they just perished in minutes. They lack the skills to survive in any other way than camping in big ships.

I have fully specced the 4 or 5 cruiser captains I regularly play. Rest is still unspecced.

I hate Greece because its center is clogged with islands on the left and center. It leads to very static gameplay and makes you very dependent on your team. If your team does not take any initiative and sucks generally speaking it is very hard to carry.

Sorry. Fixed that for you

WG has no love for this game

Btw it also happens that teams underextend (camp). I have been accused of overextending several times when I was simply in the right place but got no support from my camping team

I had 2 terrible days too yesterday and the day before. Sh!t happens

Enterprise is underpowered! Buff Enti!!

My feedback is: WG does not really address key player concerns. Your reply is (after taking it through the corporate newspeak translater): no, you are wrong, we do listen. QED.

I don't think the developers are necessarily bad. It is the management decisions that drive the developers. A very old fashioned attitude that you can over your customers if it brings in the cash. The attitude that kills businesses and industries.

Well, let me put it this way: it sure does not look like WG is interested at all in addressing some of the more problematic issues in the game. And I am quite sure that some of them are quite feasible to fix. So, in the end there can only be the logical conclusion that WG is not interested to fix them. Which in the end will be bad for the health of the game.

I really don't understand why WG is not even slightly interested in addressing some of the strongest felt issues of the player base. Surely you can't feel that ignoring your customers is good for the health of your game?

I play DD too. I assume there is a good chance the red DD is bad at avoiding bird poo, so that's no disadvantage for me

Of course not, everyone knows Soviet BBs and cruisers were the best in the world

There are still a few German DDs on the bottom at Narvik, so perhaps?

Hi, You are a fairly new player. I suggest you grind 1 or 2 attractive lines to T5 and 6. So you escape the CV hell at T4. Then play T5 and 6 for long enough to get comfortable and be able to win 52% or more and do some useful damage. Find out which ship type suit you best, DD, CL or BB. No, not CV you pervert When you get a losing streak, play a ship you are comfortable in or take a break. Play coop or ops for a few games. GL HF

I don't mind radar most of the time. However, if you have more than 3 radars on the enemy side it becomes onerous. Also, 2-4 red radars in ranked is a pain. It simply disrupts your opportunities as there will always be at least 1 radar at a choke point. Also being roasted by 2 radars after eachother is too much.

Just reply: I can curse in multiple languages, oaf

Hi Systergummi, welcom back! I have been burnt out 3 years ago, didn't play for a year. Don't stick with low tiers, here's some advice which I hope may help you. - Choose a handful of ships you like playing. Look back at some ships you may have forgotten, but really like playing. - Play those ships at least half of your battles. - Don't do more than 2 or 3 grinds at any point in time. Choose grinds you enjoy. Grind silver trees you enjoy and lead to a ship you really want. - Buy 2 or 3 premiums you really like. Or collect the resources to buy them. - If you have a loosing streak or feel frustrated playing, play 1 game with your favourite ship and then stop for the day. I play 50% DD, no CV, very little BB and 30% cruisers. I like Lightning, Gadjah, Fiji and Chapayev. Play Daring in ranked. I enjoy those 80% of the time. Find your mix and play that for at least half your games. The fun will come back! Enjoy!

I object, your Honour! The question was asked and answered!

Thank you. I have always hated the speshul camos but did not know how to turn them off.

For DDs in ranked you earn the most points for a combination of cap and damage. He did 1 cap and a devstrike so that's going to give him some good score.

I usually have only 1 or at most 2 captains per line.

I try not to move them. But when I have reset a line, I train up a new captain. When I move them to the next tier, I prefer to use FXP, but may use gold occasionally.
