can't call it honest if he claims Smollie has 32mm HE pen i watched this video, dude seems like a BBaby tbh

While the team composition is definitely something to be looked at, I was talking specifically about divisions. I've had double CV games, but never were they in division as WG doesn't allow this. I'm wondering why double Submarine divisions are allowed by WG; imo it shouldn't be.

Meanwhile my karma just keeps rising; recently passed the 2k mark and soon I'll have another 100 added to that. :edit: Not that in-game karma means anything anyway; though it seems *some* players hold that karma value on a pedestal ... https://wows-karma.com/posts :edit2: Lmao you're one of the players that does 1. Why even bother with this ? 2. For someone complaining about toxicity, you don't have many good things to say about other players on that website - hypocrite much ? 3. Are you sure your reports aren't deserved ? :edit3: https://wows-karma.com/player/517256494,KillStealBoss For someone who claims karma is useless and has no value, you seem to put a lot of value in this 3rd party website. And reading through some of your posts ... wow ... you are very negative and toxic.

this is an issue imo; players can't take 2 CVs in a division, so why are 2 Submarines allowed ?

If this were true, what would be the purpose for WG to implement this ? Implementing a team bias on a per-match basis seems like a lot of work for no real benefits ? (at least none that I can immediately think of) Imo the main issue is that the average player is hopelessly bad, and combined they are even worse - that's why so many bad players have an even worse win rate in divisions (*compared to solo). e.g. if I meet a double DD div and I can sink both of them in the first 5 minutes of the battle without them sinking me, the issue lies not with MM but with those two players

Oof. Poor students

Good point - luckily she received the TRB consumable so it made her a better torpedo boat. Khaba otoh didn't receive much love ... at least they removed BB AP pens

Where Khaba

I thought they were ok in Ops though there are better CLs

Some people would be content with getting more than expected, saying anyone would be dissappointed is (in my opinion) whining about nothing. :edit: Disappointing is when you get 11 Mega crates (expecting 1-2 ships) and not getting any. :)

I would like WG to try out -1/+1 MM but as you say, unlikely they will. I'm not denying roflstomps don't happen, just that (in my experience) they really don't happen that often. (otoh i haven't really played Randoms lately but i don't think it has changed *that* much in a couple of months) About mismatched teams; that's part of a (pseudo) random MM ? One time you'll get the better team, the other time you'll get the weaker team - up to you to make the difference. Most of the time the teams are rather similar in skill, with the main issue being that the "average skill" in Wows is laughable low; many players seem to have no clue what to do or how to play. And thus they complain : "it's the fault of MM!", "it's the fault of divisions!", "it's the fault of pay2win!", etc. Definitely not a "git gud" issue

> gets more ships than expected > "anyone would be disappointed" I thought "snowflakes" applied to ships, not to players ... cry more What's the point of this thread; trying to create drama where there is none ?

What has having a Premium account have to do with one sided battles ? Where is the "pay to win" in this game ? I think Wows is "pay to progress", not really "pay to win" ... most of the stuff you can buy are just ships, cosmetics, or in-game currencies (Doubloons, Credits, whatever-tokens).

And all those screenshots here definitely aren't cherry-picked examples Again, skill-based MM would be dumb af since there would be no incentive / reward for being a good player. All you get are more potatoes on your team that you have to carry - but maybe that's what you want ?

Operations. Most of the times enough bxp to get all extra rewards (4 in my case). This way I was able to get the rewards for all of my TX ships, and most (so far) of my T9 ships.

I got it once (with Mogador) last time I played (somewhere near the end of November). Doesn't seem that impossible to achieve imo.

Starting at T8, there is a 5th Ship Upgrade slot where one of the options allows improved detectability.

Wishful thinking imo ... I think many simply don't care about winning, or learning, or improving ...

Yeah you're right; it misconnected in my head.

How exactly is the firepower of the Konigsberg overpowered to that of the Omono ? The Konigsberg has less shells per salvo, less alpha damage per HE shell, and less fire chance per HE shell; it does get a faster reload and a higher penetration for the HE shell, the latter being one of the characteristics of the KM tech tree. You can find info about HE penetration here : https://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Ship:Armor_Penetration#HE_penetration Most interesting is probably this : Konigsberg falls in the category "1/4th penetration". Omono falls in the category "1/6th penetration".

Imo this is the same as someone coming to your server, destroying everything, and taking all the materials / loot.

They are in every game. Even games like Valheim have loads of griefers; and that's far from a "AAA MP game designed for [consumers] hoarding and gambling".

These types of "players" are everywhere though, not exclusive to WG games

Yes I realise that. I'm unsure tbh - I could "deal" with CVs and Subs, but I loathe these Supershits. At the moment my remedy is to not play Random Battles T9 and above - which saddens me a bit since there are some T9 ships I really enjoyed playing - but it is what it is.

Funny, I'm only playing Operations nowadays. I like that they're not the easy wins they used to be, and that it can be a challenge (though, sadly, too often). Player skill really shines through in the new Operations - as there are no potatoes on the "enemy team" to match yours. If you get a team with all players between 39% and 43% ... not much to do but laugh at their sheer incompetence and stupidity. (though at one point it may become a bit depressing) And yes, this happened couple of days ago - 3 of them died during the initial assault in Killer Whale, the other 3 just sailed circles in the harbour afterwards.
