    Advice: Git gud at BBing. Right now you are terrible at it. (Your hitrate with BBs speaks volumes.) Don't expect to carry ranked games which means you will rot on rank 15 for as long as you refuse to learn. There is no I-win-button. Sorry, not sorry. What does a good BB player do? He knows stuff. He knows how cruisers and DDs play (from own experience), he knows where radar cruisers like to sit. He knows how cruisers dodge when a BB shoots them at long ranges. He studied all armor schemes so he knows where to aim in every situation. etc. Then he just uses his knowledge to position himself in the right place on the right time and he punishes even the smallest mistakes instantly. Why don't you just do that?

    @Tiger1019 Hast top XP geholt, sieht man nicht oft im Ranked bei DDs. Auch von mir ein gerne wieder. (Obwohl Du Dir das überlegen solltest, hab aktuell 47% WR. ) Na ja, hab's endlich auf Rang 12 geschafft, jetzt mach ich erstmal ne Ranked-Pause.

    Smoking up BBs in the times of changed spotting mechanics

    Ze_Reckless replied to FixCVs_Nautical_Metaphor's topic in General Discussion

    In this situation he wouldn't benefit from a smoke at all, smoke yourself and shoot the BBs for free. Maybe tell him to stay angled and to not close the distance so he doesn't die in 1 - 2 minutes. When I see a random BB in need of a smoke (he took a torpedo or CV strike and is about to be HE spammed to death) I spam the 'set a smoke screen' quick command and wait for his reaction. If he showed before that he has a brain I'm a bit more lenient and give him the smoke asap. However, most of the time I prefer to smoke up cruisers, especially radar cruisers because they are the ones who help me to cap and deal with the enemy DDs (and unlike BBs they can't just angle to do their job).

    DD problem

    Ze_Reckless replied to maminulenka2's topic in General Discussion

    Seal clubbers are OP no matter what ship they play. Kuma, Myogi, Phoenix and others are strong in good hands. (Believe me, I speak from experience. ) DDs are even stronger because you fight against enemies who haven't learned WASD-hax yet.

    DD problem

    Ze_Reckless replied to maminulenka2's topic in General Discussion

    OP survived 2/16 DD battles while doing very little damage (except for the lucky tier 2 battles). Yep, DDs are totally OP. If a DD can bring down your BB with his puny guns you are very much out of position or you are just so stupid to repair the first fire instantly. So, change the thread title from 'DD problem' into 'I suck at playing BBs, how can I improve'.

    Tips for shooting with a spotter plane

    Ze_Reckless replied to anonym_2hneAFaIyP4T's question in Newcomer Questions

    Some people change their crosshair to the one with lots of diagonal lines. It didn't help me but it's worth a try. When aiming with a spotter you have to look at the range to the target, take into consideration if he is moving towards you / away from you and aim at the correct range where it will be when your shells arrive.

    Invisi-fire

    Ze_Reckless replied to anonym_EFwxJOPWzlER's topic in General Discussion

    @Kiagy, look at my solo stats for these two ships: Why these two? I play them with F3 torpedoes, that's 8 km range (and Yugumo without smoke). I get into radar range all the time. Totally unplayable, right? Stop your BS and start with facts or you can close this thread yourself because it's pointless.

    First you have to prove how radar is OP.

    Tell us how it went on Okinawa / Ocean. ;)

    Because all flags are equal, but some are more equal than others.

    Ze_Reckless replied to Blixies's topic in General Discussion

    Sure, but sometimes you spawn at C on Okinawa. Range gives you more options (e.g. fighting in the open), reload is more fun.

    Public test round 2 - 0.7.8: Improving the detection mechanics

    Ze_Reckless replied to WG_Lumberjack's topic in Archive

    Ships render much faster on the PTS. The delay on the live server is around 2 seconds, on PTS it's more like half a second or shorter. There still is a delay however which is especially noticeable when a DD shoots while smoking up at full speed. The delay is long enough for the DD to not render. Overall the spotting works much better for surface-detected ships and detected ships which enter the visual range, I haven't seen any artifacts. PC: i7 8700K, GTX 1080, 16 GB RAM, game on SSD Samsung 860 EVO 1TB, Ultra settings, 2560x1440.

    Showing a symbol in a historically correct way like a hammer and sickle on a flag on a ship should be fine. Showing a symbol in a glorifying way like that CCCP camo on the October Revolution is questionable to say the least.

    French Cruiser Changes

    Ze_Reckless replied to MrConway's topic in Archive

    The Henri IV is a very strong ship, I like the agility and the guns. It doesn't need a gimmick, it's fun as it is. I loved the reload booster in last year's Halloween event, please keep it out of the 'normal' gameplay.
  16. Ze_Reckless
    WG could make a video about the history of WW II and put it into the game. Or a campaign. Tadaa, historical content. But is it worth it? Very doubtful. There are mods for such stuff anyway.

    Signale für den Kampf

    Ze_Reckless replied to The_Noob_Commander's topic in Allgemeine Diskussionen

    Man kann Signale für die wichtigen Modi ansparen indem man im Random ohne rumfährt. Oder kaufe Dir 1000 Go Navy Kisten und tausche die Kohle in Signale Deiner Wahl ein. Tadaa! P2W mit ganz großem P.

    Es wurde schon viel Gutes und Richtiges gesagt. An Deiner Überlebensrate sieht man, dass Du an Deiner Defensive arbeiten könntest. Versuche herauszufinden was Dich umbringt (z.B. Gier, zu riskante Position ohne Ausweg, sich mit dem Falschen anlegen, etc.) und ändere Dein Verhalten entsprechend. Es gibt nur sehr wenige Situationen, in denen es sich lohnt sein Schiff wegzuschmeißen. Manchmal ist es besser seine Kanonen vorübergehend stumm zu halten und eine bessere Position aufzusuchen. Zerstörer verzeihen Defensiv-Fehler am wenigsten, da ist es logisch dass Du sie nicht so gerne fährst.

    Ohne Seeding lade ich das Update im alten Launcher mit 212 Mbit, mit Seeding sind es niedrige zweistellige Werte. Das fällt schon auf. Wenn diese Option im WGC fehlen sollte werde ich ja richtig viel Spaß damit haben. Steam kriegt es irgendwie hin, dann soll das WGC es auch hinbekommen bevor es auf uns losgelassen wird. Ich habe nichts gegen Neues, ich habe nur keinen Bock als Tester missbraucht zu werden für ein Produkt das mir nicht viel bringt.

    Only your Zao was helping you while we focused you whenever our Shima spotted you. I got a lucky 5k first salvo on you. Thanks to my hydro and your torps I finished my special task 'Spot 9 torpedoes' very early in the battle. Cheers for that.
  21. Ze_Reckless
    I was using the WGC until it failed to update WoWS, even after reinstalling WGC. I'm using the good old launcher without problems ever since. I hope they ironed out all problems and the WGC will run as it should. But who am I kidding? This is WG.

    I played the Nagato not so long ago, the guns are still pretty accurate if you aim well. I sniped a Kronstadt's nose for a citadel and pens. Amagi and Fuso are more forgiving because you have more shells. I haven't played these ships without the module. The Kongo isn't as accurate as the Nagato, but in comparison to all the other low tier non-premium BBs she is still the accuracy king. If you don't trust the module you could play 100-200 battles each and compare the accuracy. The best method would be to play 50 - 50 - 50 - 50 - ... because your aiming will improve over time.

    Mir schon. Mit Seeding hatte ich nach kurzem Download eine elendig langsame Verbindung beim Update, Haken raus und sofort maximale Downloadrate. Manche ISPs mögen Seeding nicht, weil das ja nur und ausschließlich von den pösen illegalen Torrents gemacht wird. Ich habe das WGC halb freiwillig genutzt bis es einmal das Spiel nicht mehr Updaten wollte. Da habe ich alles deinstalliert und nutze seitdem den guten alten Launcher ohne Probleme. Ich möchte nichts verteufeln nur weil es anders ist als das Gewohnte, aber ich hoffe für WG dass sie die Probleme wirklich in den Griff bekommen haben. Ach, wem mache ich hier was vor? Freut euch schon mal auf die Gratis-Premiumtage.

    [How to:] Play around RADAR

    Ze_Reckless replied to __Helmut_Kohl__'s topic in General Discussion

    I'm the opposite. When I unlocked the Shimakaze radars already were in the game, so I have not played 1 game without radars (unless I got lucky with MM). I played a couple of battles with the 12 km torps, more than 300 battles with F3 torps. Let's compare! Fonfalk's no radar Shima: Ze_Reckless' radared Shima: Conclusion: Radars give + 13% to your Shima win rate!

    Developer team, can you explain that?

    Ze_Reckless replied to MNR1978's topic in General Discussion

    @MNR1978 I checked your stats briefly. Your DDs up to the tier 7 Maass have a good win rate, from 8 to 10 your win rate is worse. You said you have problems with radar, this is your answer. From tier 8 there is lots of radar ships around, even more so since the US CL came into the game. With less than 1000 battles you don't have much experience, maybe you are at tier 10 too early. I would suggest you play some more DD at tier 6 - 8 and try to learn how to play against radar. Or maybe stop playing DD altogether for 2 - 3 weeks until the number of US cruisers drops to normal levels. You could start a new DD line, for example the American destroyers. You don't need to worry about radar at low tiers. I learned a lot about DD gameplay from watching Flambass, check his stream on Twitch or search for Z-52 gameplay on his Youtube channel.
