We know what the tech tree is going to be from the “info from around the world thread” so I thought I'd make an educated guess at what this line is going to look like based on the real world stats of the ships and the 2 premiums already in the game. Reportedly, similar to Le Terrible, none of these ships get smoke generators, presumably they get the main battery booster instead (whether that's from T2 onwards we don't know). Here goes: T2 - Enseigne Gabolde T3 - Fusilier T4 – Bourrasque T5 - Jaguar T6 - Guepard T7 – Vauquelin T8 - Le Fantasque T9 - Mogador T10 – Kleber Overall my concern is that the smoke-free open water gunboat concept works (sort of) with Le Terrible because it can do 53.8 knots with flags and boost active and with the Soviets because they're almost as fast and can deliver "balance" accurately out to 14 km, but how's it going to work at T5 - T7 when you're stuck with an unremarkable 36 knots (boost not withstanding) and 700 m/s guns that'll struggle to hit much beyond 10 km?

8 plane kills against a 46% bottom tier CV, I'm convinced (oh, and BTW that Yugumo nailed to the bottom of the scoresheet is a pretty damn good player).

Patch 0.8.2.0.1: https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/game-updates/patch-08201/ We've introduced a soft limit on the number of carriers in Tier X battles. Now, in the majority of instances, no more than one carrier will be allowed per team So evidently someone at WG has worked out that SkyPox has not been entirely well received by the players.

The new CV are terrible in co-op but much better in random. The problem is that co-op games tend to be much shorter than random and since CV tend to live the longest of any class they need to accumulate damage more slowly than other classes hence it's difficult to perform in the shorter games. Also the other big ability of CV - spotting - is worthless in co-op becuase the bots don't make any attempt to use concealment or cover, whereas in random you can just park your planes above a 60%+ DD player and ruin his game that way. So long as you can master the basic mechanics and hit stuff with the weapons you'd probably be better than 95% of the CV players I've seen down at T4.

Flamu has started a poll, link is from his latest vid (T9 RU BB): https://www.strawpoll.me/17702395 Probably worth a thread of it's own, but I'll post here since that's seemingly no longer allowed.

and repeat ad-nauseam................

And this is relevant to anything I posted because...................

Then next game you have an AFK T10 CV on your team who gets away scot-free because you spammed your last report on the T8 DD who was doing his best in a 2 x CV + 5 x radar cruiser game at T10.

Only 7 reports a day, one needs to ration them to the players that really need them rather than just spamming them in the first game you play. What I found was that playing as a BB and tanking I got a lot of +1, once I stopped that and became mostly a CA player with some higher tier DD thrown in it became mostly -1 because I don't commit suicide in the first 5 minutes of the battle and generally tend to be the last ship of the class left alive (and thus the cause of all the top tier BB sailing in straight lines and broadside to the enemy).

We get this post every day, please read the thread before commenting.

Which kind of implies that the OP was on the right track to start with. Has anyone ever done a test on what earns and loses karma (outside of points from your own clan)? It feels to me mostly like a result of the ship you're playing rather than your contribution to the battle.

Only solution is to play CV until you break the game.

What do you use in the 3/4 upgrade slots for USN, are the aircraft mods worthwhile in slot 3 or do you buff the AA and which aircraft benefits from the extra HP most in slot 4?

But then BB can dev strike cruisers and cruisers can wipe out DD, so the whole thing is balanced (sort of) in a kind of rock-paper-scissors way. CV sit outside of the circle of joy/misery dishing out punishment to other players without really taking any in return.

How about an option for "now I play nothing but CV"?

I took the Superintendent skill but the police weren't impressed in the slightest.

de-sync/lag spike maybe? The ping goes up from 35 to 61 just before it happens.

What about the unspotted Paris down at H9?

Why, and what alternative tests would you apply? It's called Texas Sharpshooting, you start with a very large dataset then focus in on a small part of it that shows an unusual pattern and use it as evidence for something, the problem being that a large dataset is always likely to have some odd patterns in it by chance alone.

I can see an argument for some cruisers because it's often not the torps aimed at you that are the problem but the ones aimed at the straight-liner behind you and outwith an AA build there's not that many really useful 3/4 point captain skills for cruisers. Not saying right/wrong either way, just that I think you can make a case for it.

Sorry, I seem to have confused you with another completely unrelated Besserwisser. Using a Chi-squared test, and assuming that you're happy with a 95% level of confidence 231 games (about 400 if you want 99% confidence). Details: Also note that you are cherry-picking your results at T9 only whilst ignoring that over the last 243 games you've had a 62% WR from all ships (61% last 79) and won 5/10 yesterday. Edit I've done an extra calculation for you, the chance is actually 25%.

Not entirely sure about that, sounds to me more like a case of knowing what you're doing at a tier where most opponents don't.

WTR is too heavily dependent on dmg and frags to be a meaningful skill metric so high WTR and low WR means you're good at farming meaningless damage (fire damage to BB) but poor at doing things that win you games (killing DD/cruisers). So hypothetically player A can do 60,000 damage per game and player B 30,000, but if player A is just burning BB for repairable damage whilst player B's damage is all on DD then A will have the much better WTR and B a better WR%.

22 games in a Kongo and you think that makes you an expert in what DD can do. I can't be bothered to post a gif.
