Picked it up. Probably won't play it ever, but it was FREEE

I can't analyse or rate your stats. Better and more knowledgeable players will have to do it. ...but I thought about this too - what and how do I improve, then I thought 'well what ships am I thinking about?' I usually play the way I want and have found the ships I like - mostly high tier US cruisers and dds. Those ships I play like I want because I find that gameplay fun. So, I ended up giving up on improving by altering my game. I can still improve it by understanding game mechanics better or just don't play when I shouldn't play. What's the point with my post? I think you benefit from selecting one or a few ships that you want to improve and maybe tell how you want to improve. WR? Maybe even add a video of some of your games. I'd enjoy seeing a Fletcher video or so

I've seen the radar/hydro symbol post patch. Although, at one instance there was a normal detection symbol for a odd long time when I thought it shouldn't be. Could be that I was proximity detected, but it felt a bit off that one time.

You watched him on stream?

Just make fail div. It's not as big deal as people make it out to be. It's allowed by mm.

Having to do things to earn cash sounds awfully close to work for me ..or prostitution. I'll rather just give WG some money and play what I want than resort to that.

You could still earn credits in some tier 9 ships, it's when you hit tier 10 the cost goes up. If you like the specific tier 10 ship - why not buy premium camo for it so you can sail it without feeling you're spending money to do so? Sounds a bit counterintuitive, but it works for me. I can play Des Moines and Gearing as much as I want without worrying about credits. I don't have to earn the cash in another premium ship. If you want some premium ship, that's fine, but for me - premium camos let me play whatever I want and enjoy it. Edit: tier 10 premium camos that is. Not sure if lower tiers are worth it.

I've got range now, mostly because some battles in the open you need to keep the distance and pester bbs, but I've noticed these are often the losing battles regardless of if I managed to do well in these fights or not. For me Des Moines is better in another role, so I'm thinking of switching, either AA or Reload... I need to learn how to citadel bbs too..

He grinded all the way up to tier 10 and you tell him that now? Tnx a lot WG

I'm having less issues with Khabas since I started using AP against it more frequently. Not sure if it holds up, but I'll continue until it doesn't. Seeing Khabas on the enemy team is still a bit of a pain though. So few counters to it so it can wreck havoc on its end of the map if there's nothing there to stop it. Not sure if it still needs a nerf. It seems powerful, but I haven't checked how well it does recently.

bb smoke probably wouldn't be a disaster if they made it happen.

You performed great in Benson and somehow can't find Fletcher or Gearing useful?

It seems you're running out of gimmicks due to oversaturation of the current ship lines, bbs taking over some cruiser duties, cruiser taking over some dd duties. A new class in works would explain this. Have you reconsidered or found a way to make submarines a viable class in WoWs?

In a small sample size this may be true, but likely not in a large. I checked your stats - it doesn't look like you're getting shafted by the MM.

This is probably the biggest reason why I'm hesitant to play ranked this season. Ships seem fairly balanced across the board and having a high tier captain is almost mandatory if you want to contribute. Respeccing captains is an option, but do I want to..? Is ranked worth it?

UI bug probably. Happens occasionally.

That doesn't tell you that. High average damage/XP doesn't equate the same high WR. There's usually some correlation but it's not like you can tell you're getting bad MM because your WR doesn't keep up.

So, I've skipped past the whole German bb tree and got a Bismarck. A brawler I've learned. So middle in Two Brothers - unload full battery AP on broadside Prinz Eugen 3km away - minimal damage and torped to pieces. I noticed overpenned bounced all 6 shells - 0 damage. Disregarding all faults in strategy, all the usual bb complaints and issues with bbs being too strong - should WG dumb down the damage model a bit to let players see more reliable damage making it a bit more predictable? I know in this specific example I can get better and next time I'll aim lower, but if the average potato play it like this, I get the frustration, and this isn't merely a l2p issue. Players won't get much better than what we see today, regardless of what forumites hope or try to teach by friendly ingame suggestions. Gameplay is dictated by how the players play and most players learn by playing the game, not from unicum players on youtube videos. Should the damage model be simplified if gameplay is improved by it? edit: bounced shells, not overpenned in this example. The argument could still be made.

It says you have nearly 70% WR over a thousand games in Yamato.. If you didn't end up in potato teams all the time, what kind of monstrous WR would you have then?

I bumped into Tyrendian89 in a British cruiser on I think it was Sea of Fortune. I acted bait in Fletcher and he kept whacking their dds. Fairly easy win after some initial drama. No other forumites seen

Radars will be do nothing to the submarines that are coming

Grind the US cruiser line and punish them

I got that, haven't played through one session yet though. I like the concept but it takes so long to play one game. Maybe during the vacation.

Answer in spoiler No cheating edit: clarified the question

I'm on Yorck still, it's a slow progress. No answer, or answer 'No'?
