(Homer Simpson voice)....mmmmm tavern Wench...

IMO deto flags will always be more us full on cruisers where there are bigger and more ammo racks etc to detonate. Why waste them on destroyers. Doesn't make sence. ..

Yeah see...thats where kind of disagree. Die to the Mino's high DPM it makes it a bit of a priority target and the fact that it's survival is based around the other mechanic smoke and it's ridiculously squishy, I find you can't play to its full strengths without it. IMO the Mino is stronger with smoke as you can provide cover for others whilst also spotting due to its good concielment.

That's what I'm afraid of...thats terrible of WG IMO..

No actually your right...I'll show myself out...

Sorry...ment 4 or 5 more WINS....doh

Seems a shame to give up so near the finish line.....but I do understand your fustration if indeed the teams are as bad as you say they are... 4 or 5 more games mate and your there...you've come this far.

How true....90% of the time you get the abuse from someone who is already dead... I have noticed that in the last two/three weeks the way teams have just thrown games has Actually increased...wich seems also to be supported by my drop in win rate....whilst all Other stats are on the increase.. It gets more and more fustrating when all I want to be able to achieve is a solid 50% wr and i try hard to win each game I play. But because the level of skill/ability/understanding has got worse at higher tears of late this is harder and harder to achieve for someone like me.

I don't understand this.. .. So....what's the primary skill of players if the level of skill itself is secondary??

OMG.....

sorry but that means nothing to back up your claims my friend.

That maybe what you ment but that's not what your saying from your post... Your comparing data from Cursers HE to BB 's Ap stating that you have less chance to cause significant damage with Ap in A BB wich is laughable considering you can take out a cruiser with a ACURATE single volley of AP. How many shots were fired by HE and how many landed, How many shots of AP were fired to how many landed to cause damage etc. (accuracy percentage fired etc.) there's 1 element that is very relevant that needs to be taken in to account in you spreadsheet no? I feel your spread sheet does not have the full story and all the necessary data to be accurate and there fore your conclusion is incorrect.

where to start on this one..... Your comparing He from a cruiser to AP on a BB ...two totally different rounds with very different mechanics...depending on wich type of ship you are using!!! What you XL spreadsheet doesn't appreciate is that the accuracy from a BB will be way less due to dispersion on BB's. Can you imagine if there were as accurate as Crusier rounds...come on think about it?!! If your scoring more damage with HE on a cruiser than AP in a BB Then its down to you not the game imo.

Perhaps a sort of flag draped over ones ship would be more subtle?

Many thanks @Leo_Apollo11would have forgotten to check. You mean the competition where you fought Against your fellow team mates even though you are on the same Team. Don't know about anyone else butt hat Never made sense to me....

WASD my friend. As others have stated this situation you have described is a result of poor situational awareness and being in the wrong place at the wrong time. We are all human and mistakes are made when learning. Fact of life.

Ahhhh yes.....those moments...

Has it occurred to you that its screwing up the game and is contributing to the abysmal skill level that seems to be rife in most tiers now? The Use of bots in random battles seems to be on the increase....should we take this as a sign that the player base is decreasing? I had 2 matches yesterday where bots (DD's) totally screwed the game for us as rather than spotting the oncoming wave of enemy players from the east they desided to go to the total opposite side and go on a sight seeing jolly for whatever reason there programmed to do? I Have to agree with @havaduck..... Seems strange to dismiss such an obvious issue at present, even when proof is posted....

This^^ Every time a Belfast pops up I now think ""Easy Kill"" instead of "Oh SH*T its an op Belfast!!".....as they just eat citadels. Funny how things change... That doesn't mean I wouldn't like one to add to the Rnl ships I have...... my collection will never be complete without her

Got 20 each of those special flags.....

How the hell do those actions you have described above guarantee a star for the loosing team? capping at the start?....well its easyer to cap and hold than re take enemy cap no? The whole point of Keeping the star for the top player is because the top player has done most of the work for his/her team( that's why he/she is top) and they should loose a star because the rest of said team is a bunch of sunday roast potatoes as you have aptly described above?... No sir. And I find randoms a lot less of an organised team than ranked unless you division up a lot...

I Can appreciate for some this feels a little like this ..... but please remember everybody that this is a business first then the game, not the other way round. No business no game.......When People leave any business, that drop needs to be replenished to continue growth and existence of the very game we play. New blood almost always guarantee's new Money that will have a retention rate (or % that will stay) usually based on a forecast from previous years. This IS a business decision done by companies all over the world. Its not PERSONAL. Having SAID THAT..they probably would make a lot more if the offer was open to everybody of course but I would be very surprised if they did not offer something else for the loyal player base (of which I consider my self one) as this would have the reverse desired effect in existing player base retention. Lets wait and see if we do get anything....if not well then that would be the time to kick off IMO....

This^ Jumping from ship to ship and line to line is a very confusing way to learn. Obviously different ships have different strengths and weaknesses. You need to learn to play to those but this can only be done through a level of constant repetition done over a long period of time. Its just the nature of the beast. But if you progress to fast, wich to be fair is kind of the nature of your post, this game will allways let you know, ( Besides its normal to progress to a higher tier and get your arse handed to you for a couple of times. your fighting against more experienced opponents with a higher skill set mostly due to number of games played, it comes with the territory) and if you have been jumping from line to different line etc this will make the learning process a little slower and more frustrating. But stick at it OP as has been said some great advice by forum members.

Im sorry but....
