I often give -1 if our CV is killed in spawn (even though karma is meaningless) because dying in spawn is imo the ultimate proof of sheer stupidity from someone already playing the laziest class

So, what the title says. We have now had 2 seasons T8-10, what tiers should season 3 be played with? Please also post why you have your preference.

Fine to choose other, but this would also fit under option 2: T5-7.

When the ports function badly, I switch to Ocean.

You could also argue: play a BB properly and you can have a positive impact on the game. OP: as you seem to be a BB main: what is your play style? If it is sniping from the back, you will not have a large positive impact, which could be part of the problem.

Man like in human. Oth, how many 3 woman divs would you have in WoWs? I always assume 80% of the player base is male

True. But that is because a lot of mediocre players play in divs. They lose. A three man unicum div can have very high WR, higher than you can achieve solo.

I think you overestimate the intelligence and foresight of companies riding a wave. WG is cashing in on a couple of good games like there is no tomorrow. If you are earning millions and due to Corona you can do just about anything you like and your numbers still stay up what do you do? To quote a rather annoying potus: they can get away with high street murder. Why would they even try harder when the wodka and caviar flows? You want a better game, they aren't too much bothered.

I play Lightning, and Bis is imo the easiest prey. Just rush and one salvo of 8 torps does the job reliably.

No, subs are lizard

I would think that anyone who goes circle around loses on points if you cap center and middle ring? Circling is not a viable tactic imo.

I seem to have missed this previously, but it says in the battle selection screen and in the battle start screen that "Teams are matched on player skill level". Does anyone know how WoWs does that?

Worked, standard combat mission. Thanks!

For a long time I have been avoiding T10 because of the unattractive gameplay and punishing economics. But now ranked is offering some of the more attractive gameplay (imo), I have started to think a bit more about T10. My thoughts before were: hellhole, avoid. I have started playing Daring in ranked, and after a bit of getting used to T10 opposition and learning about the ships I am doing reasonably well. Still, I don't like playing Daring in randoms, and I asked myself why. So, I will briefly summarise my thoughts on this in the hope that other, and sometimes more experienced T10 players can add. The key issues at T10 are imo: - 18" and over overmatch. Too many BBs in T10 have 18" guns or more, which makes cruiser life miserable as they can be blapped from the other side of the map. Deadeye is oc making this worse. - Too may radar cruisers making DD life miserable. This oc combined with op T10 CVs and RU balanz cruisers. - Too many inexperienced players buying T10 ships when they don't even understand the basics of the game. This makes the first two issues much worse, because now small mistakes will send them back to port early. As a result, many of them play BBs or CVs, as they die like flies playing DD or cruisers. And many adopt a camping playing style, as otherwise they won't make it to the second half of the game. - As a result you have a camping meta, and many stomps, as having a few more patatos on your team quickly destabilises a battle. Combine this with harsh economics, and pronto you have a hellhole. WG has created this on purpose for financial gains or let it happen because they don't understand their own game. Wadayazink? Is this a good summary, or did I miss something?

Yeah, 1 or 2 tirps surprised me in the beginning, but now they reliably eat my entire spread of torps

Nnnoooo, say it ain't so!!!!

I can confirm they were less than stellar

Cossack is surprise: you can't devstrike a BB with 1- 4 torp salvo, so ...?

So far I won 3 out of four DD vs CV brawls, by capping and smoking up in Lightning. One game I lost to an Enty, in part because I ate a torp which I should have avoided. If CVs are stupid OP, what does that make me in my Lightning?

What is your exp with various ships and types? I have only played Lightning last evening. She performs well against various classes. - BBs: primarily met Tirp and Bis. Mostly win these if I don't screw up. Charge and 8 single torps give devstrike. - CVs: easy win against a couple of Shoks by capping. Met one Enty, lost, perhaps avoidably. One Zep was fun, he was so arrogant he did not even try to strike me at first. Won by caps - Other DDs: easy wins except one Terrible who gunned me down. Perhaps avoidable. - Cruisers: lost to a Belfast 1943 and Colbert (?). Toughest class to oppose so far

I don't mind radar, and I am a DD main. In fact, I believe radar improves the game as it removes the detection immunity from DDs which would be op without radar. And it increases the variety of the game and the ability to employ different tactical approaches.

You are being argumentative. Your reasoning boils down to radar does not matter. It does.

No, but they have a broader unhealthy effect on the meta because they can bow camp and thus patatos play them as they can survive a bit longer in them.

I think WG balances it so that patatos can just manage IF they buy premium, gold and silver

Thanks for sharing your story. I quit WoWs for a year and got back some 2 years ago. Came to very comparable conclusions as you have. This game has to be fun. But it is sometimes challenging to accept all the frustration WG and bad players create. Hou je taai
