Oh indeed: communication is the key for better gameplay. DD's can play vital roles with smokescreens and spotting. Had a game once in which I was able to give our Yama 2 screens i which he could send off 4 or 5 invisi salvo's off. Doing tons of damage. I did find out however it's a usefull thing to at least ping the minimap before smoking up: that way the chance is slightly less the BB will happily sail full speed ahead through it.

Yes. Again: please people. I kindly and politely ask you to agree to disagree and get on topic again. Otherwise I'll request a thread closure. By far did I ever mean to start a dispute in here.

Bit off topic: when can we grind for her as a game icon!? "Greetings "FELLOW" captains!"

Sorry. But no: we have banished you back to tier 1... http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/69263-should-i-focus-on-a-main/page__p__1507699#entry1507699

OMG. Clear Sky is the only achievement which I never have been able to get at all....

Hy, you can buy 500 Missouries with that!

Nah, the torp hits are impossible. I'd rather opt for "Destroy 20 ARP Nachi's with a Russian boat"

@ Pajosaurus: yes we have. I opened this thread to adress the BB however. Like I said: being part of the whole problem of insufferable boring games. @ Kyoshi: Indeed I seem to notice BB players have discovered the presence of the "W" key lately. I see a change happening for the better....

As far as my retard insights of numbers is going your stats aren't that bad. What I did notice is you don't have much battles per ship. My advice: stop the grind for a while and play more battles with each boat untill you have the feeling you know it's ins and outs. Or: keep pushing until you have T10's and stick with them. It will take a lot of time to get those optimal that way but it is a possibility. IMO that way you won't get the most out of this game though. Nearly all the ships have their specific charms...

AFAIK subs in the game era were mainly lone wolf (packs) hunting down transport convoys and sniping unaware warships and didn't play a huge role in actual sea battles. A spotted sub was a dead sub. They only had to wait until it had to surface. So I get it why they are not keen to implement that class in this game. And indeed the DD's have more or less the role of subs ingame.

Lol. What I always find hilarious are the small ego's of chefs! Kings of their hills. On topic: OP, I think you have made the same mistake I had: thinking the higher the tier, the easier it becomes. Because the ships are getting stronger. Well that last one is a fact. But so will the opponent's ships. And the higher the tier, the more experienced the players are. It seems you have been following the USN cruiser line. The "trap" in that line is the roles of the cruisers are varying highly. St Louis having a BB role, Phoenix and Omaha more a DD role and from Cleveland they starting to play actual cruiser roles. The other lines are more the same styles. Indeed I recommend: start low, go slow. And also try out other nations/ classes. Even if they don't appeal to you at all: know your foe. Please I'm not mocking you. I was there too: bought Atago when I was still saying my Omaha. After 3 matches I kept it in port for a long while untill I reached T8 on the regular lines.

Only vs RN cruisers. But like you said: I probably won't notice the difference. I can bounce those pingpong balls from any angle in any ship.

Chief, MtM please: let's not make this into a personal bout. Everyone has a right of their own opinion. My whole purpose was to open a debate to get rid of the stalemate which is plaging this wonderful game. BB camping being part of the problem.

Soon!

OMFG!!! I'm having a Mandela effect moment right now! http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-mandela-effect Until now I was convinced they currency was Doublons. And not Doubloons! Have I landed in a parralel universe?! Luckily I know my WR is 85%... So that's a relief...

I always like your suggestions OP! I agree: the animation is getting a bit old. I collect containers whithout opening them right away: that way I can comfort myself after a lousy gamestreak (the community got a bit tired of my: whining for group hugs ). Don't fully understand your "black market" idea. Do you mean: be able to open the container but not collect the content right away so you can trade/ sell with other players? Supposed I get a Nicolai in my container, which I already have and you a Granny which you already have and we both could trade? I highly like that idea I must say. Don't know if the game engine (and WG for that matter) allows that. It's not an economical exchange game, like Sim City f.e. to begin with. Premium commanders? Hm, why not? Neutral about your campaign suggestion. In my pace it will take me forever to complete all the tasks in the first place. Still hve no idea how I managed to spot a DD first in my BB. Guess it won't happen again any time soon. Not such a CV serial killer as well. Don't play CV"s myself and in other ships I usually have bigger prio's. Settings: why this hasen't been programmed already is beyond me. Same thing as still not saving the key settings...

Maybe you're seeking advice OP? IMO you're overstating Iowa a bit. I actually like Iowa better than NC. It shoots more accurate. But Iowa is in my xp a more "extreme" ship: either I have awesome battles in it or I seem to shoot fluffyballs making lots of riqs, overpens, pen-but-no-dam shots and taking citadels by splashwater. Also like Montana a lot. Don't know what they've done with it but it's no longer the sucker in which you don't even have to angle in your Yamato. Sure Yama is still the apex BB but I don't mind that at all. And I have the feeling Montana is on par with Friedrich/ Knakwurst ( I always mix those 2 boats. I mean the TX German BB of course).

You have ships with citadels INSIDE the vessel?? Where did you find these??

Wow. I was about to ask the same Q regarding my stats OP! I suck in the realm of sucking with numbers: really they don't mean anything to me. I have the same question as OP: would somebody who likes numbers (didn't want to say "stat nerds" so I won't ) want to take my stats through the grinder and give me feedback? Don't spare me: I'll take any advice to improve. Really like to hear from you!

And I got word from Major_Riff. The second winner has been drawn: Werfrettchen Ship: Molotov Excellent choice. Would have been mine too if I participated (and didn't own it already). She's a beast! You will LOVE those guns. I'll kick it onto your account: have fun with it and all the best holidays to you and all!

Tolerator. I neither love it nor hate it. I actually like the idea bordercamping is being discouraged. But I don't think the maps where you see them are very adequate. Now it promotes camping around the circle too much. I would advise to make a special map just for that mode. And I'd suggest some more tweaking: now the outcome is fixed by the start: the side with the most DD's or most stealthiest DD's wins.

Oh SHOOT!!! I forgot to send you the disqualification list for those competetors that shot at me during battle!! How stupid!!!

Yeah! Demo expert! Together with expert loader! Seriously: are people really grinding that pathetic line? Why? Do you like to be one shot?

Oh come on: give OP some slack. He's quite new. It took me quite a while to figure it out. Look: there's a circle around your ship. You can actually make it visible on the minimap (MM). Click ctrl and the smal gearweel above the MM. DD's have the smalles circle, than cruisers a.s.o. Everybody that comes into that circle will see you. It's exact to the cm. Whenever you fire your gun: the circle widens for 20 seconds. Torps don't have that effect. Sometimes it happens the enemy has a tighter circle: that way they can see you but you can't see them. When someone enters your circle you'll see a "detected" alert. Whenever you see that: assume there are torpedo's coming your way. Furthermore: all ships relay positions automatically. So when 1 ship is seeing you, all their ships are. I know: this isn't the whole story but it will give you a start in how to understand the mechanism. Indeed: I strongly advice you to read recommended articels Gilly!
