Love it Hava especially the second picture I still have to see the new Alien movie, I hope it's better than I went to watch Logan; loved it. Still have to think of this every time

just SCRUB things

Very fun game with the Atlanta, too bad the result was a defeat. (potato team ) Sailing my Belfast: - time in battle: 5min 45s - battle duration: 17min 24s Still first on XP. I don't really like the Hiryu, but this was quite a good battle.

<- this

saved by the bell / border very entertaining to watch!

e.g. I think I'm an okay-ish CV player, grinding both lines (currently at T7) look at my CV stats (apart from Independence.. ) at T7: - Ranger: 24 battles, 67% WR; ~108k average damage per battle - Hiryu: 17 battles, 53% WR, ~66k average damage per battle I play Ranger in strike (0-1-3) and Hiryu in balanced (2-2-2). I hate playing the Hiryu because of the T6 TBs.They get shot down so easily, I just hate them. Of course the fighters are a nice asset, as well as the good DB drop (against DDs). I love the strike Ranger, but I miss my fighters when playing against a (very) good CV player. You would think one would have better stats with Hiryu than with Ranger; but I don't (and here is my opinion why). In my experience: - with the Hiryu it's easier due to having fighters - with the Hiryu I don't have to sink the enemy CV as soon as possible - with the Hiryu I think it's harder to have effective drops against enemy ships, especially with the TBs (one exception is the effect of the IJN DBs vs enemy DDs, but that's due to the area of the drop) ==> with the Hiryu I have less worries about the enemy CV, but more worries about enemy ships' AA =====> if the enemy CV is equal or worse than me, I'll still have a "hard" time damaging or sinking AA heavy ships (of which there are quite a lot at these tiers); if the enemy CV is better than me I'm just doomed to be (nearly) useless - the main problem with strike Ranger is that you have no fighters - with the strike Ranger I need to have the enemy CV sunk as soon as possible - with the strike Ranger, if I can sink a ship, I will sink that ship ==> with the strike Ranger my most worries are about the enemy CV (and the ability to snipe him in the first part of the battle) ====> if the enemy CV is equal or better than me, I'll have a very though (nearly impossible) battle; but if the enemy CV is worse than me, I'll have a field day and will wreck havoc among the enemy team

Detonation Solo Warrior and Die-Hard (both I've had only twice). I also got Unsinkable only 3 times, but that's mostly due to repairing flooding <> not repairing fires.

basically scrubs

as if torpedo spotting would help the average player potato

Seems like it's time to take out my Shima

If no cider, maybe an ice cream? :edit: Damn that picture is bigger than I expected

Yes, I was referring to that Hood player who had played only ~40 battles in total. Back on-topic: At least you got some anti-deto flags OP. And if you really don't like this "fun and engaging mechanism", use the Magazine Mod 1.

That's true. I just think that a player shouldn't be able to buy a high(er) tier premium ship with few battles played (e.g. less than 50 ). It's not much fun for the player itself, and not much fun for the other players in his team. e.g. Last night I was in a Saipan against an enemy Saipan. That player had ~160 battles played in total (of which ~50 in the Saipan), and he had a 14% WR with it. Yes, I was free to dominate, but it wasn't really much fun. On top of that he raged in chat about cheats (= strafing), and other enemy players were raging because their CV was such a potato.

I had few battles yesterday where I met the Hood. Every time it was played by a moron. (One of them had only ~40 random battles played) Anyway, OT: I didn't get detonated for months in a row; then one evening I got detonated 3 times (once in every class but CV). Sh*t happens, and it's fun and engaging.

I agree. + balance divisions (like I said on previous page) so each team has roughly the same amount of players in a division e.g. this is not balanced: 2x 2-player div vs 3x 3-player div

had a battle where the enemy team had 2 Belfasts, an Indianapolis an a DD advantage; and still lost (my team had no radar ships) I see your point; but the ship's player is much more important than the ship

oh you!

This was a victory literally "WTF?"

The story of 3 DDs vs 3 DDs Each team had three DDs. An enemy DD got a Double Strike on both my allied DDs. I got a Double Strike on two enemy DDs. I hunted and killed the last enemy DD. I was the only DD left.

This is just insane... and BBabies were probably still crying due to that 1 CV and 1 DD...

still my #1 And Kongou is frigging awesome..
