Oh man! I'd rather have 10 more Nachi missions than this one! Try to win it when being in the worst losing streak spell of your "career!"

Time for the annual checkup for arthrosis on the server hamsters WG!

First: just assume you don't have a CV on your side in a CV match. YOUR CV player is utterly garbage until proven otherwise. A regular well playing CV is launching it's planes within the 10th minute tl;dr: assume you have no CV in 99% of the cases. So don't count on them never ever (while a DD and CV are the most essential allies in the match: it's the game. Count your CV as non existent). Second: assume you're on the worst part of a radar line up (even when not). Just hold back a spell. Don't rush into a cap until you have enough support. Just keep scouting. Going back to to he CV issue: IF your CV is acting at all an IF he/ she's knowing how to launch planes (yes, that's going way up to tier 10!!!!) be sure not to take a position in direct line of the planes and the CV!!!! Your, noob until proven otherwise, CV will gladly pull his/ her 1 remaining bomber over your position to have it killed 2 seconds later. Again; tl: dr: you're absolute worst enemy in this game in a DD is your friendly CV.....

After Lepramore I don't even want to try this boat. Des Minor is a trauma for me as well. MY DM gets; citedalled/ one shot by any ship looking funny at me regardless what angle Yes: it's me, not the ship.... But I'm inclined to let BS-ullow to rot in port indefinitely....

Maybe upgrading your Commodore 64 might do the trick, N9....

tl;dr (all). What's your point OP? All that they're saying (AFAIK): you're in my house, accept my rules or PO. That's their perfect right. It's your ground right to think whatever you want but in your house, you're in charge.

Actually I like your train of thought OP. I "cheated" some missions lately in coop. Missions I really wanted to get and coop seemed the easiest way. Indeed: AFAIK only ships are mirrored. Not the cammo's/ captain skills etc. I find the coop to be too easy to play. But not to offend the coop fans, which play a vital role in this game altogether I don't think the "solution" is to add more ships (go play operations for that one) but what I'm thinking is a cammo/ captain mirror would be acceptable. Still give the player the signal advantage and not mirror that. Parallel on topic: I can so highly recommend playing a coop just once in a while. It is such a blast to do: you'll get away with stunts which will be mortally punished in Randoms! I had a "hit # secondary mission with any match type" once. So I took my fully secondary specced Tirpitz (Flamu may forgive me (-;) out and ended in the A (? the cap with the "big islands on the left from south POV), parked there and harvested 75% of the mission against Yama's and all other "Geneva forbidden vessels" because the AI didn't comprehend a BB rushing a cap in front of a DD. Man, I did have a blast there! Though the "ctrl left clicking" was a lot of work....

Trolling on the forum and bending the rules since 2016. Pls ban me, I am rare unicum Carrier and you lack on them already. Tnx FIFY

Yesterday I won this captain. Happy I accomplished the mission but I'm a bit at a loss as where I should put him. I have all the non CV silver ships and a few premiums. Getting a first blood is very unpredictable for me. It's really a matter of chance and I can't say in this or that particular ship I'm having the highest chance of getting 1. Krakens are quite rare in my case. Not so much of a "killstealer" to harvest them a lot. Yamato popped into my mind at first but I suck in the realm of sucking in that boat. Dedicate him to a premium? Kamikaze R is one of my best performing ships overall. But I already rarely use all my consumables cause I often don't need them. Though I'd say K-R is the ship which gives me the best chance of first blood/ kraken the rewards aren't that hugely important. The torp reload is already lightning fast and the heal? Meh. I either full health survive a match or I get stomped to the bottom in seconds when I screw up. And I could go on forever going through the whole ship tree. but I won't bother you with that. My question is: what are your thoughts? Why do you place him on that ship? Maybe it'll help for me. Thanks in advance.

I know I can't qualify as a newby anymore. But my question might affect newcomers as well. One thing I haven't figured out is the "hard to starboard/ port function. The only difference I noticed compared to double "D" "A" is using the hard function the ship automatically goes neutral when releasing it. My question: is there a difference? Does the ship turn some harder with the "hard" function? Or isn't there any difference other than the one mentioned?

Interesting outcome of your poll so far OP. I voted for the "none at all" option, which, now, carries the majority of votes. I actually like all the different game modes so far. Though, even with the upgrade, I still think "tears of the deserted" souldn't have Epi. As a matter of fact I'd still vote for this abomination map to be get rid of this game all the way. And while you're at it: please restore the best map "ocean" WG. To "a very sinister place" for the island bangers. Ocean is the one and only true map in which only naval tactics count. It'd be a good riddance of the RN boats (never ever will call those sods a ship). tl:dr Bring back Ocean NOW!

Hear, hear n9. Same here!

I suck in the realm of sucking with Yamato. My WR is beyond abysmal. IIRC my last match in it was well over a year and a half ago when I managed to inflict 1080 dmg to a LoYang with 8 hits who devstruck me on close range with torps. Haven't dared to touch this greenpeace vessel ever again. Hence Musashi is for me of the lowest possible priority. I know: it's me, not the ship but I'm not eager to grind another tennisball shooter, match losing guaranteed piece of ship only to rot in port. However: I am curious to K. But not high prio for me as well. If I'll manage to grind it? Nice. If not? I won't shed a second of sleep about it.

This. Came in too late so I won't repeat it. Awesome props OP. +1 for that as well. Especially the recall option for the spotter plane. I've been in so much quickly changing situation where the spotter aiming was giving a disadvantage (mid/ close range shootings) I'd begged to be able to call it back. Yes, let me ruin the consumable, I'm perfectly fine with that. Rather that than the encumbering aiming at said ranges with it.

OK, I know I'm going to be "crucified" here. But I actually love your post OP. Just one slight tiny fify: Indeed turn into the torp plane squad, UNLESS you somehow turned out of them (that's happining very often when you need to angle from incoming): then keep committing turning out. Don't alter your turn! Yes: it'll mean eating one more torp but that's better than taking the whole drop. And you'll be giving broadside again from the threat that was present in the first place. Simple math: 1 extra torp is better than taking the whole drop AND being full BS at the gunships. Now I won't repeat my opinion about CV's and the players here again. I have 1 cry from the heart to rudimentary competent CV players: your biggest allies are the DD's. Would you please, please sacrifice that 1 bomber/ torpedo squad over giving away the position of your DD in a futile attempt to pull them back from the red fighters straight over the head of the DD??? They'll be strafed anyway because they won't make it back to your ship (and by some miracle: it'll give your position away as well). I've lost so many matches because of this! Taking position to scout/ harass or even obliterate an incoming threat on the edge of the knife, only to be given away by a CV player who didn't want to lose his/ her pixel planes and thus giving the whole match away.

Ah heck. I didn't get anything I'm afraid.... Don't understand why though. Surely not having ordered one could possibly have anything got to do with it, can it?

Me too. But now I'm seriously starting to doubt my skills....

Oh this is going to be suc h a Picknick. 600 battles a day? Piece of cake.

Sorry, can't vote for you. You already had your terms....

You can?! Wow I'm going to try that out right now!!!

I'd love the KroBer Kurfurst Lima! Lol. Nice mission WG. I've enlisted myself. Now, I'm suffering 1 of the oh so loved losing sprees right now. So I won't grind it that actively but it never hurts to try.

Didn't watch the whole vid. Actually I didn't know PMM was an issue in wows at all. If I dig deep into my second neuron I think I remember something about it was said regarding low tier premium ships (t5 and below) having tier protection. But that was, again IIRC, in the time +/-3 was tolerated by MM. So my Imp OP-rator (I LOVE the way OP puts that) couldn't face T7. I did however had plenty of 6 matches in it (before the "global PMM" for T1-4 came in). Nowadays I have the feeling (can't back it up with numbers) all premiums are treated equally in MM as silvers. The "infamous feeling" of 75-25% (bottom-toptier%) all the board. And I don't mind being the bottom tier: all the more xp and credit income for me. Especially in the "OP deemed" premiums (Kamikaze (clones), Kutuzov, Belfast etc) I don't have any problem with being bottom tier. Heck IMO if you can't stand your ground playing those ships... In other words: I don't really understand what the fuss is about. I didn't notice any PMM at all (said Nikolai PMM in the Cretaceous era excepted) ever. Keep bringing those T7's to Kamikaze R (except Belfast. That is one of my "mortal enemies" in that thing. Though a cloud torp dev strike is one of the most satisfying things ever!) Edit: I found the hard way my second neuron can't comprehend WOT. Tried and failed in the realm of failing. My retard brain is having enough difficulties here in a two dimension playfield. There are 3 of them. Also drive 100m, get tracked, get blown to kingdom come and back to the garage. And ONE gun?! Yuck!!! Not my glass of milk....

tl;dr. From what I've read I can say only one thing: *edited*....
