Camperdown

Wow. I thought I would drop by on the forum to check how things are going. Boy am I glad I stopped playing this shitty game by a shoddy developer. Good luck to y'all.

What has changed is an inflow of new players who can buy their way into T9-10 in no time. So imbalances in MM are more likely to occur, which lead to frequent stomps. As a results you may have more losing streaks.

I will lurk a bit just for the good old times. Take care m8!

I am quitting WoWs as of today. Not because of subs, but because the game is in a free fall. Wedgie has given up any pretence of trying to maintain a decent game. Too may players with 300 battles are floating around in T9 or T10 ships cluelessly. As a result battles are completely random. If you have a team of noobs, there is nothing you can do. It sucks the fun out of the game. So I bid you goodbye, I hope you will still have some fun. I am done with the game.

My impression is that Wedgie has no interest in game improvement. They focus on milking the game for cash and accept this is making the game progressively worse.

You are a missing the point by a few miles. The point being that mismanagement is making the game progressively worse and WG doesn't give a rat's bottom.

It does seem as if the game has entered a new phase, where any pretence of quality has been dropped and it is just blatantly about selling stuff.

I have never bought a dockyard ship and never will.

Maybe too much of a simplification, but the team which understands you have to stay ahead of the airship wins? So average team IQ is paramount and basically random.

On Monday we start T5 brawls. What ships do you intend to use?

I have given up on WG, I am not indifferent.

I figured that in a previous season and took my Lightning. Was surprised how tough that was as I normally don't mind being uptiered even to T10 games in Lightning. Love to seal club those 17.9K Shimas . But didn't work in T8-9 ranked and I switched to Jutland and did better.

I can really recommend to have a couple of favourite ships at T6-8 fully equipped and with high point commanders. Imo much more fun than powercrept T10 where you meet disfunctional teams of rookie players and camping snipers.

I had a hiatus a couple of years ago because the game had burned me out and it felt like a chore to play. When I came back, I decided to only play stuff that was fun. So no endless grinds, no CVs, almost no T10. So it's mostly DDs and cruisers and best tiers are 7 and 8. But I have grown sick of WGs wanton mismanagement of the game and will largely stop playing when GT7 comes out in 2 weeks time. It is basically a game that was good and could still be good, if WG would have some basic respect for the player base and would focus on a decent player experience. But it's milking the game for revenues only with stoopid gimmicks and increasingly bad ideas (yes subs, I am looking at you). So to quote officer McClain: yippee ki yay motherf*ckers

T10, no thanks.

All AP from about 1905 is APC. Around 1908 this changed from 2 CRH to 4 CRH nose shape. After WWI in the 1920s and 1930s 6 CRH (or even more streamlined) was introduced with a ballistic cap. These shells are what is provided in WoWs if you check the shell type and mark numbers you can track that. Your claim of more than 1 caliber penetration needs to be greatly qualified, as this has always been very hard to achieve in naval shells under real life conditions, due to body hardness and toughness, filler and fuse complications. Any more than caliber penetration in working condition should be considered very satisfactory performance.

Well you can have camper and yolo too

Thanks WG, season 6 has welcome format: bronze T6-7, silver T8-9, gold T10. Much better than T10(+) only.

It also depends whether the sea floor is below the crush depth of the sub.

Nope. Crippled by a stream of bad decisions.

I only use deto flag on DDs in ranked, because for other situations it is an unnecessary luxury. Even though I mostly play DDs in ranked, I get enough of them for free and never need to buy any.

To the gulag comrade! Only the game's owners determine what is a failure or not

We will henceforth call you "The Fifth Satsuma"

Surprised to see Satsuma so high with the average Joe's. In my experience, Satsumas suck 4 times out of 5.

So let me rephrase this. You very much object to being bottom tier because you think it is not fun. So you then think it is OK to quit the game or yolo and die so the other 11 players on your team then have 1 ship less, which is ofc unfun for them. Ever heard of the golden rule? Do not do to others what you don't want done to yourself?
