Franz von Jütland new german comander with special cpt perks
Jethro_Grey replied to cpt_sparrow_jack's topic in General Discussion
EL and AR would make an awesome combo for the Germans, too bad WG picked the less useful ones. At least they didn't go for advanced priority target and advanced incoming fire alert...that might have been too obvious. ^^ True. -
3.12 torps and 4.44 ships...you also can slot the HAS module for maximum Hydro fun!
-
It's against WGs policy to use sadistic, insane mass murderers so Janeway will never make it in the game.

Franz von Jütland new german comander with special cpt perks
Jethro_Grey replied to cpt_sparrow_jack's topic in General Discussion
I think the German commander(s) have the worst perks so far, which makes them for me personally and my playstyle useless. -
All German DDs have the issue with the anemic guns, that's why you see most of the better players use AP. The 150mm guns may be good against broadsiding targets, however if you face a gun boat in close quarters combat you'll get wrecked, the DPM on these guns is really bad. I suggest getting the Gaede fast and trying the 150mm gun setup before you buy the Z-39, unless you want the ship regardless. As a top-tier, the Z-39 can be played quite aggressively as the combination of smoke, hydro and torps make her lethal. So yeah, it's a torpedo boat with big guns that chew through broadsides, but are otherwise useless. I have thirty 19 point captains, with 6 close (14-16p) to 19 points. And once i have these, i can start turning the rest of my 224 capatins into 19 pointers. #TheGrindNeverEnds EDIT: just checked to see how i'm doing in my Z-39, and aparently i suck badly in it...unless the stats site doesn't have enough data to make an appropriate evaluation that is.

[PSA] All CC's get Camo and Crate codes each month that can be used on ALL servers
Jethro_Grey replied to WarshipsPodcastEU's topic in General Discussion
Flamu was one of the CCs who gave away a few of these codes yesterday during the stream. Some others did too, but the number of codes they can give away is limited. IICR(!) it was limited to 10 container codes (subs/ Twitch subs only) and a bunch of camo codes for non-subs per week. -
I have you have a Maass and/or a Z-23 than you'll be quite familiar with this ship. If you can do well in these two, you'll do fine in the Z-39. My opinion on the ship is: tl;dr: i like it. The guns are anemic, the HE lackluster and AP is the way to go. I was able to citadel cruisers from a range of 6 km and below. Don't go into knife fights with other DDs, as the Z-39 is sluggish and turns like a brick. Torps are short-ish range (8.5km) which is a bit low when you meet TVIII. Concealment for a TVII is nice with 6.1km and the AA is useless. HP pool is rather nice and gives this a ship staying power. Train the DD captain in a cruiser (Prinz Eugen, Graf Spee) 'till you reach 10 points, then put him in the Z-39.

[PSA] Basic guide when you have CV in battle
Jethro_Grey replied to Boris_MNE's topic in General Discussion
1. ...only if my team supports me, i don't want to get wrecked because my team stays back while the enemy team provides close range support. 3. no worries, i've seen enough Eurobeat(Yuro) videos to know how to torpedo beat...in theory 4. once may not be enough tho, messages get buried at the start of the game in all F key and "we lost" spam 5. ...well, with the black dress, white Bonnet and skirt kinda... 6. ...he could try, doesn't he know who i am?? 7. been there, done that got blasted and called noob, that's when i realized, i should stop taking everything literally 8. as long he isn't in the center of the map or stays in his spawn location without moving 8.1. saves fuel, helps mother nature and lessens the global warming effect 9. if the CV lose his fighters, nothing will help. Although i usually advise him to sell his CVs and play Hello Kitty online if he lost all his fighters in the first 7 minutes of the game 10. what does qualify as provoking? Added two more, which i personally think should be on that list. -
I voted no to all, because i already own all and we don‘t need more OP ships.

Whats really wrong about ranked.....
Jethro_Grey replied to Gojuadorai's topic in General Discussion
I haven't played many ranked games, but those few were mostly horrible. After the last game, i made a decision to tell the team right at the start what we do. If they agree, i'll be a nice team player, if they don't i will do whatever is necessary to keep my star. So yes, i will be a "star chaser" the second i see my team doing stupid $hit. I'm glad that at least WG is having a good time with all the ~20% - 45% WR bots buying TVIII ships to ruin this game mode by being glue eating window lickers and doing the most stupid $hit imaginable. Personally, i'd say that people who graduated Magna cum Laude at the University of applied re7ardedness shouldn't be permitted to play ranked (or get near a PC for that matter). For nine seasons now people are telling WG that this game mode is flawed and they still don't listen. Maybe because the graduates of above mentioned University are running this company? -
I like then Richelieu more than the Gascogne, the guns feel less trollish.

Jethro_Grey replied to Hanszeehock's topic in General Discussion
It seems, i just can't win in my Henri IV, no matter what. It has speed and makes a great flanker, so i flank. The last 4 kills were all done in close quarters combat, for which this ship is not suited for. WTF do i have to do to get a win in this ship? I sank a Minotaur early in the game, capped C with another ship, pushed through to B, burned down an FdG there and shortly after, i deleted a Zao near A trying to cap because my team decided, let's hide at C. Too bad for me there was a nearly full HP Alsace, which i APed to smithereens all while dodging torps from a Fletcher who stalked me throughout the game. I couldn't cap because of a Saint Luis rushing me down which i also sank while avoiding his torps as well the torps of the Fletcher. I was so low on HP at this moment that the Fletcher managed to sink me. What was our surviving - nearly full HP - Alsace doing (apart from eating glue)? He was very close to our CV running from the enemy Kurfurst. -
Nothing you suggested here would make BB players camp less. The only measure that would indeed help in that regard is, humiliate BB players by giving them chicken points with a Player X is a chicken text in flashy red letters and message pop-ups in the chat. Also, make them visible in the stats and base the XP and credit gain of BBs on the number of accumulated chicken points, not on damage done. This will either motivate them to be less campy or drive the chicken player away. Personally, i'd prefer the latter. What our suggestions have in common is, that WG will never introduce anything like that. Chickens with a credit card are WGs target audience after all. EDIT: Ninja'd by El2aZeR

Jethro_Grey replied to Hanszeehock's topic in General Discussion
Sometimes... And this one tells a lot about the majority of the player base. First one to get sunk, and yet still top of the scoreboard...no kills, no caps -
After playing a few games and having more of his kind in my teams who literally threw safe victories away, i have to change my mind about what i said earlier. So, goodbye, never come back and take all other players who are like you with you.
-
Hm, nice. Am i the only longtime loyal player - that never got offers like this - who wants to strangle every WG employee there is right now? Hey WG, how about such a discount for me when the Centurion 5/1 hits the shop?

First things first. You are a bad player as others here have mentioned it. But no worries, there are many more like you out there, in fact way too many more. And when the number of bad players in a team reaches critical mass, not even super unicum is able to carry the mass of a black holes worth of bad play. You can either go all-caps on WG and the forumites, look like a tool in the process and continue to be a bad player, or you can choose to listen to advice and become a better player with time. Pls upload a replay, so we can give you advice on how to play and not be a burden to your team, or alternatively sulk in your impotent rage and move on to the next game where you probably be as bad as you are in WoWS/ WoT. Choose wisely.

Jethro_Grey replied to Hanszeehock's topic in General Discussion
Unlocked Alsace yesterday and the first three battles were meh. This one, however, was pretty decent. Most of our BBs went to A - because one of the players often had pretty good results going there, according to him - while i pointed out that he can do whatever he wants, but B+C was the smarter choice. At first, i supported our DDs by taking shots at the enemy DDs, then i pushed around the island east of C straight into the enemy Yugumo. The Baltimore that was following me finished him of after i blasted him for half his HP and kept following me. I helped wrecking the Iowa in the C cap, nuked a Edinburgh and then rammed a Republique. This might be a good boat afterall, cause i liked the Richelieu and was first disapointed with the Alsace. -

Which forum members have you seen in random battles?
Jethro_Grey replied to Cobra6's topic in General Discussion
Met @Leo_Apollo11 (Lyon, my team) in a TIX match on Trap, sadly he i spawned on the other side of the map in my Yugumo. The obvious lack of team play lead to a rather unfortunate defeat for us, yet the both of us ended being top scorers. Was nice meeting you mate! After the game, i checked the replay and tried to figure out what went wrong. Long story short, it turned out that some (not all) of our teammates graduated Magna cum Laude at the University of applied stupidity in gamingTM so they rushed one by one into the guns of several enemies, while the rest waited in the back for their turn. It was like watching a bad martial arts movie. -

Jethro_Grey replied to Cobra6's topic in General Discussion
Well, must be crappy players at the helm of said BBs, considering we didn't have had much opposition at A anyway. A chicken with a lot of armor and big guns is still only a chicken. -

Jethro_Grey replied to Cobra6's topic in General Discussion
Met @MortenTardo (YueYang) and his Div mate (Des Moines) on Warriors Path. We did quite well, despite me (Kutuzov) being sunk very early on, our BBs, however, did not and so we lost. Was nice meeting you mate! -
For me personally, neither. The former would see Bbs camp hard at the edge of the zone border, only moving as fast as the zone shrinks. The latter would be putting a strain on the MM, and since it's a single tier game mode, it won't happen in WoWS ever.

Jethro_Grey replied to Hanszeehock's topic in General Discussion
This game yesterday had everything: eating friendly torps: check BBs sailing in a straight line: check DDs sitting still in smoke: check aiming at target A and sinking target B instead, twice: check team pushes into enemy spawn and gets rekt: check enemy sits in our cap but we win anyway because it takes ages for a single ship to cap in standard battle mode: check Managed to get chat banned today after a loooong while, as it seems to predict an epic lemming train fail warrants reports...or was it arguing with lemmings and telling them that doing stupid things usually has consequences? Seems i forgot since my last chat ban was long time ago. -
Double punishment playing Dm. Donskoi
Jethro_Grey replied to Yogibjoern's topic in General Discussion
If a player reaches TIX and still has no concealment module and a concealment specced captain, he shouldn‘t really complain about being focused and deleted, or subsequently punished for being ‚afk‘. I wonder tho, is my phone bonkers or does OPs profile shows no Donskoi at all?
