This so much. Like these 5 retarded noobs that went chasing after a single RU DD "because they needed the kill". I get f*cking mad and frustrated when people throw away games (/victories) like this.

No wonder WR goes down if other players are so retarded to chase a single RU DD with 5 ships into the corner of the map, "because Nachi mission". And in the end there's only one that can get the kill; but I guess that's too difficult to understand for these F-ing noobs. How is this WG's fault? Players should just play to win and not be so retarded to give away victory because they want some kill.

Ok. Thanks for the answer and the opportunity to apply.

Congratulations to everyone that made it on the list And so I will.. I'd like to know what I did wrong so I can be more successful in the future. :edit: Forgot to read this reply: Guess I'll have to do with that.

not in a random battle, but on this weeks' Mingles with Jingles: dCK_Ad_Hominem congrats man! interesting to see you play the Kagero with the Torpedo Reload Booster in stead of the Smoke Screen..

Congratulations to the winners! and as Nethraniel posted:

I've experienced a disturbing increase in teamkillers & high tiers potatoes. I literally saw a Yamato sailing backwards from our spawn because "uh muh 27km firing range". He even had a spotter plane if I'm not mistaken

My thoughts exactly. But this just confirms what I've been experiencing the last days / week; i.e. way too many potato DDs (or potatoes in other ship types). Seriously, how can you get to Tier 10 and NOT know about this? I'm wondering now if he knows about prem consumables, camouflages, signal flags & such..

Very generous of you! Thank you When the winners are drawn, we will publish the list and the name of the winner you can donate the 2500 doubloons to e.g. 2500 doubloons winners: winner#1 (donation by lup3s) winner#2 (donation by Nethraniel) .. winner#x (donation by it3llig3nc3) I hope this is clear?

well said

I like the idea but I don't know if this would help. I would just punish players that consistently get 0 (or very low) XP per battle.

Using lower tiers ships in your division to get a better MM for the higher tier ships in your division, is in my opinion just cheating the MM. -> Why "definitely no T9"? If you play T7 solo you can get into T9 battles; so why shouldn't this be the case for a division with a T7 ship? If it were as you said, nearly everyone would be creating fail divisions to assure good MM for the higher tier ship(s). - with the lowest tier(s) being DD(s) as they are least affected when battling higher tier ships :edit: According to your examples, a division with (e.g.) T8 and T7 ships should get at worst a T9 battle. In my opinion, a T9 battle is still good MM for a T8 ship. Not the best, but certainly not bad. And if they get into a TX battle? Too bad for the T7 ship(s); shouldn't have tried to cheat MM by creating a fail division. Don't want to fight ships 3 tiers higher than you? Then don't take different tiers in the same division.

I sank 4 RU ships tonight, in 12 battles. It can be done but it's just situational. (iirc, I have my Nachi little longer than a month now.. In the meantime I could've completed the mission twice I guess )

Don't underestimate your influence & importance in that battle; thanks to you the allied BBs and CAs on your flank sailed forwards to the enemy (and pushed them back). (in stead of camping at the spawn as they usually tend to do in Epicenter on this map) Remind me to be very careful in my smokescreens if I ever run into you on the enemy team

This is also 'sarcastic', right? Else it's just a lame exploit to guarantee a good MM for the highest tiers in the division.

Sometimes I just don't understand how people can get T8+ ships and still not know how to play them. I would've rage-quit too, but my beer wasn't finished yet. iirc the first game was the one with the potato Shimakaze & Montana. Do you mean the Neighbours - Domination game? That was indeed some excellent teamwork; thanks for having my back! Or do you mean the Tears of the Desert - Epicenter game? I wasn't really helping you out here, but the majority of our team displayed some very good teamwork (especially in the inner circle with the Fletcher and Benson). Both were good and pleasant battles and my F3s wreaked havoc among the enemy ships

Yes I read that; the T7 ship in that division could (possibly) have dragged that T6 ship into a T9 battle. You could say the T6 ship 'got lucky' and it was 'only' a T8 battle, MM that the T6 ship could also get when playing solo. I just wanted to point out that MM only considers the highest tier in a division; that obviously doesn't mean the highest tier will automatically get the worst MM (i.e. +2 MM). You just got unlucky, but it wasn't "dumb MM system" or "some bug". e.g. with a T5 & T6 division you can get: - a T6 battle (best possible MM for the T5 ship) - a T7 battle (more difficult for the T5 ship; but it could still get into such battle when playing solo) - a T8 battle (worst possible MM for the T5 ship; but not unusual or abnormal if you have a T6 ship in your division) The same applies for a T6 & T7 division; but with battletiers ranging from T7 to T9. Sometimes you get lucky with a fail division, sometimes you don't. And if you do get unlucky with a fail division (i.e. the lowest tier in the division has to fight ships that are 3 tiers higher than it), you should just understand that it's because of a fault you made (i.e. creating a fail division), and not due to "some MM bug".

Completed the 4th part of the "Battle of the River Plate"-mission. Finally managed to survive a battle when I completed the other requirements

To a certain extent. You can still have divisions with 1-tier difference. Hence it's not abnormal to get your T5 ship dragged into a T8 game if you have T6 ships in your division. You got into a T8 battle with your T5 ship because you had T6 ships in your division. It's not "dumb MM system" or "some bug", but entirely your fault for taking a lower tier ship than the other players in your division. MM only takes into account the highest tier in a division. The reasoning behind this is that, if MM would consider the lowest tier in a division, it would just lead to abuse to get better MM for the higher tiers in that division. Just use the same tier ships when you're in a division and you won't get +3 MM. It can't be that hard to understand?

Tbh I don't know how people (in T8+ DDs) still don't know how to play them. Tonight I played 12 battles, in 3 of them a DD killed an allied ship with torpedoes (2x Kagero, 1x Benson). And none of those 3 times said DD turned pink. We (havaduck and I) met so many potato DDs tonight that I spent all my reports in 3 battles. I really have no idea how people can be that f-ing stupid and it's frustrating af.

Had an epic game with Havaduck on Tears of the Desert (epicenter); good teamplay and we rolled over the enemy once their DDs were taken out (or nearly dead so they had to flee the inner circle). OT: I accept it; - I love it if (some of) the team know how to play it. - I hate it if none of the team knows how to play it. (e.g. DDs not going to inner circle to at least contest the cap).

not talking about pictures posted in here; just some of the image results I got on google.. e.g. this one is perfectly fine but others not so much..
