Ferry_25

Sorry then. My bad for misinterpreting OP. Please accept my apologies. Looking at your stats I'd say you're doing very well as it is. What I did notice is your WR is the best when you play solo. usually WR is increasing when playing in a div. That goes for me for certain. My advice to bump your WR is taking out the ships in which you have the highest values already. That way you will optimize your chance to win that battle. Keep in mind the WR can only be influenced that much. You still have 23 liabilities with you in a match. I also see you're a very good allrounder (disregarding your CV experience). There's not a class in which you clearly under perform. Overall I don't think you need to worry too much. You've increased 2% in 1.5 months. That's amazing. But keep in mind: the more battles you play, the less impact 1 battle has overall. So the curve will flatten down over time. Last but not least: there will be losing streaks. We all suffer through them. No matter what you do you will lose. I'd advice to stop at that time for a while. It will end and when you're frustrated, you're only likely to make more mistakes, leading to higher loss chances.

No not karma. Only proving you're still human OP.

Granted. I'm highly biased. Still undergoing heavy psychiatric PTSS treatment with electroshock therapy after my Lepramore horror. That piece of ship was the most godaweful experience I had in wows. It took me over a year to get to DM. I know it's me and not the ship but in mu case I couldn't handle a citadel the size of 9 squares around me on the minimap. No matter how I angled, dodged, stay on the 3rd line, hide behind islands or sailing into the islands I cried my eyes out of tears if a salvo was only 95% shooting me. I literally lost my way to Des Moines. Stay back, do nothing until the very end of the match and tried to hit something to get my 5000 dmg. Heck I even ran in panic when a DD was rushing me. Baltiless for me ALMOST make RN cruisers look good. Only tried 13 matches in DM so far. Yes my stats are "meh" (WR of unicum doesn't say anything with that low of a number) but I'd be in the extreme high purple if there'd be a special "Ferry" standard for that ship. I highly liked the US cruiserline uptill New Orleans. Yes my Cleveland stats suck too but that was in the "beginning of my career." So with this background I'm simply putting out my POV of not getting too excited about new USN cruisers. I shunned Indianapolis like the plague for the same reason. Being a wallet player, granted, I'm not willing to be set back almost €30 to be a XP pinata and getting oneshot over and over by any ship that's looking funny at me. As a matter of fact I'm in high doubt if I'll ever grind the upcoming split. Edit: and before you start: "Ferry, angle properly and you can even bounce Yamato shells." Please: not in my US cruisers. All shots go smoothly into my citadel. Regardless of what angle whatsoever. The same goes for "shoot behind islands, the shell can be lobbed over it easily!" Not on my maps. My islands are 0.000000001 microns to high to shoot over it. "Shoot AP on close distance. it's so powerful!!!" Again: my RN cruisers don't survive the trip getting close to an enemy and if by some biblical miracle it does, it'll shatter, overpen or bounce. "use your radar and chase DD's!" Same un-survivable trip to those DD's and the shatter/ bounce/ miss problem. OK Ferry, spec it AA. You'll do fine with a CV match... eeer yeah? What CV are your talking about? Every point upwards in AA rating means -50% chance of facing a CV.... No. I highly like the US DD and BB lines. But the cruisers? The only thing that's going above the RN boats is the ability to load HE. Otherwise for me the USN cruiser line is for me the worst in this game. At least with HE I manage to deal damage in 1 out of 100 shots.

It was a nice match. Now eliastion: don't let me ever hear you say NO BB's are willing to tank, You hear me?! You played well my friend. You did do a lot of spotting and harassing. We couldn't have done it without you. Edit: it was a Forum session for me as well. Like @_VAMPA_ Always nice to see you guys in battle! Though a Forum compliment I highly appreciate since I'm always giving them!

And take the acute diarrhea attack sound when taking a hard hit while you're at it WG. For me that's the most annoying sound in the game. Yeah I get it: I took one in the soft spot. Don't need to get a typhoid epidemic with that.

Not getting too excited yet. I'm a bit worried this is another floating citadel with glacial speed shells for which you have to make an appointment to hit in the third match after the current one and which has monstrous AA together with a CV repellent (every point added to your AA value halves the chance of getting into an actual CV match). However: it is looking stunning for me!

Wasn't my most epic battle either. Land of Fire in Kurry. Spawned at the punishment location (10 light years away from the nearest ally (Yama) who spawned 10 LY from his). We had the least retarded CV but I didn't know that: tried to catch up asap before being focused out by planes. Our DD's gave their lives to rush the caps before we could group well and team made a major push to the east but kept camping before the cap. So Vampa's team had a blast focussing us out 1 by 1. Proud-ish I still knocked around 50% health from his Khaba though. GG, well played. Deserved loss from our part.

finding bots OP.. Thank you OP. You made me believe there's still hope for me!

Unlocked Monquerer today. Did 2 or 3 matches in it and I love it. Does it feel OP? Not for me. Powerful? Yes. But FFS it's a t10. Go back to Eerie if you don't like powerful ships. When focused out it'll go down like a charm. Let it be and take your drumsticks for the BBQ. As a matter of fact I'll be lading HE more on other BB's. Just for the consistent dmg. Getting real bored of those thrilling 1080 dmg on full broadside cruisers at short range AP salvos..

wanna swap with me? Guess not. So stop whining please.

phew. For a second I thought I was the only one clueless of what OP is talking about. my advice OP: go rinse it for the sack to carry. You'll know what I'm talking about! Please explain it to me too...

Wow thanks! This isn't useful in any way whatsoever indeed! So glad I've learned this. +1 for you OP!

I am at stage 4. Not too big of a rush though. The special captain isn't that interesting for me to be honest. First blood and Kraken are quite rare for me. Actually I find the "sub missions" far more interesting.

Don't bring yourself down. You played well. We were just lucky cause your DD's screwed up. And I was very lucky: had a "Flamu" all stars aligned position where I could keep harassing you and blinking in and out of vision and was very lucky with setting fires (even for RN BB standards). And I'm not going to whine to nerf this ship. It was mere luck.

Just met @Vanhal at the most hated map in this game with dito mode (epicenter on tears) on opposing teams. I played Lion. I'm almost at Monqueror. Like always it was about which side has the dumbest DD's. This time it was their side. I'm still clueless as why the DD's charged out spawn 1 by 1. We on the other hand had the genius CV player who tried to sneak into the middle circle in the opening phase. Vanhal and me had a good fight. But I can't remember my friend: you did ask for a light, didn't you? It was a good match, despite this POS map. You played well (ended up 1st on his (her?) side. This time we were lucky.

I don't mind if they're selling the cammo's for RL money but this inflation seems a bit over the top for me indeed. 20 for 200 cammo's for me is within reason. This isn't. I once bought the Victory salute pack because of the great captain and free XP bonus. Also the people in hazmat suites are still busy cleaning the environment disaster of tons of cammo's which I won in the past. So 2 reasons I'll pass this one. But I do love the color pattern of the sci fi cammo (won a few with missions).

Also not cheering right now.... What if all servers are nerfed to EU standards. How will that help us??? Missions like "earn a witherer and arsonist in 1 battle with a RN cruiser, get 5 cap ribbons, destroy 6 BB's and spot 75 torpedo's and survive the battle" to win 5 speedflags..... I am not sure whether the EU server or the rest of the world will be happy about that....

I think this was a troll post after all by OP 9he/ she didn't respond to his own thread after this kine of response). Still: I love the response and if OP is a trolling parasite but other players can benefit from the advises given. It's still worth it.

I disagree. Now I don't have Kii but on Tirpitz it's more a gimmick as well and by far it's main weapon. Only very usefull in close BB combat situations. And that doesn't happen that often. Also the torpedo tubes are made from soaked toilet paper. Any ship looking funny at Tirpitz will destroy the tubes.

I would participate. I visited USS Texas 15 years ago. I tried to give a donation through the regular channels but got "drowned" in all kinds of nonsense links.

Granted not the most likeable things they wrote but aren't you exaggerating a bit by making this much of a fuss about that?

I couldn't agree more. I think it's the best what happened in wows! You either prevail or go down together as a team. Also the communication with the "enemies" is very benign and often extremely funny. I'm having a blast!

Oh Blixies: I'm so delighted to have you back. You completely stole my heart with your Fuso cake,... Keep it up please! let's div soon again! Edit: please keep voting... The yes camp is in a dangerously advantage here. Shiratsiu (of WTF it's named) is an abomination after the line split. We don't need any more of that filth ingame, now do we?

Met @rnat in CW just now. Awesome nailbaiter match. we were lucky this time. GG bro (sis?)

Blixies... Now you have amazed me. What kind of dumb question is that?! Like there's more reason to install Warships other than this boat!?
