And that is what i didnt know after 2,5k battle as so elegantly some people mentioned before. Damn, now i cant make fun of wg

1)Its 1 hit for 2 citadels. That does not make sense. Its not 3 hits for 2 citadels. The Ribbons first pop up on the side of the screen right after you shoot and hit something AND THEN they update the Ribbons and Damage on the top side of the screen.That means the 2 hits (which where shatters) are from a previous salvo. Once again, 1 hit causing 2 citadels is stupid.And yes, if that is how it really works, well after 2+k battles its the first time i encountered it. Is it really so bad that i am buffled? Because it makes no sense in my mind. 2) -Side bars with hp. I dont even need to move my mouse or turn my camera to know the hp of every1 who has been spotted. Ever. Late game on dds i know instantly when i can actively hunt enemy dds or not. -Huge minimap +lines+ names. Besides me having issues noticing small details the size is perfect.I know everything without turning my camera.Even ships will appear on minimap before on screen. -Ugly notification icons. Vanilla ones are stupidly small and as i said have a hard time noticing the small vanilla ones. -Improved chat. Because the default sucks. Idgaf what som1s name is.I care what ship he is in when he says something on chat. In conjuction with sidepanels and minimap i dont even need to move my camera for anything other than shooting. -Navigator mod. Why would i stay vanilla here? Instead of taking 2 seconds to calculate if som1 is moving upwards or downwards i just check the mod.Again saves me a shitload of time. -Self and enemy info panels. Installed them few days ago when i was setting the mods for 2 friends who just started and didnt bother to remove them. Although i am probably gonna keep the self info one because on low tiers i tend to forget my ships stats.A LOT. -Compass mod because its so utterly useless that i love it.And still prettier than vanilla one. Is it cluttered? No if you can just look at your screen and breath at the same time.Things become more complicated if you also need to move your mouse while breathing and looking at your screen. Is it usefull? Hell yeah. And way more usefull than vanilla. Should that bother you? Absolutely not. My game, my ui.

Unless someone explains how 1 overpen can cause 2 citadels it makes 100% sense to make fun of wg

easy. A shitload of info that i actually use. Well except the mods that show ship and enemy info that i am too lazy to remove. Used to play eve online mate, you have no idea what overload by info means unless you play there! :D

But how much fun can you have after loosing 10 games in a row?

I meant that he is actively trying to entertain people by commenting out mistakes in funny way, making jokes, laughing. Watching flamu is more like documentary where he keeps talking about the ships stats, playstyle, strong and weak points etc and also comments on occasion various tactics or strategies that are not being used by his or the opponent team. Flambass has audio from his teamspeak3/discord with his team and does not actively comment on each ship he plays. But filtering through his dialogues, jokes, sarcasm and jokingly-complains, one can find several good advices and ideas. Notser for learning when to tactically beach and when not.Also great to teach you how often you need to look at your minimap.Because, well, he beaches a lot :D

Improve your game. Watch official wg youtube channel. the playlist "how it works". Youtube for "captains academy" and watch them all. Watch them several times till you know everything by heart. It will take time for all the new info to settle in. Then watch games on youtube by notser, jingles, flambass, flamu that have commentary. Jingles is more of an entrepreneur but still has great games. 45% wr and an average damage of 30-36k on t8 bbs is kinda bad. On the aforementioned yt channels pay attention to the positioning of the ships since that is the next most important thing after knowing the game mechanics. Last but not least, try the aslain modpack. Good luck!

I never said that it is or that i want randoms to be a sandbox where you can do everything.I hate that! I am just saying that these modes are not even close to being competive! Although you are correct on the way you interpret what competitive means, that is strict academism(? acadimaism? academicism?).If that word does not make sense, apologies, not sure how to translate the meaning i have in my mind. Edit:Semantics! Competitive for any-one who plays games is a game-mode or play-style that you play to win, play organized and your sole focus besides winning is to constantly improve. I believe no competent, semi competent or (slightly) above average player will ever dislike a match where he and his team fought to their best but they were outplayed by their opponents. I actually live for that kind of matches since its even more fun than what we get 99,99% of the times here.

There is no known or imaginary universe where You + Random Teammates = Competitive game mode. These 2 things cant go side by side. Again, Ranked is not competitive. Its Random with less people and better rewards. Hell, even CW are not as competitive as they should be. No CVs? 1 bb only? Instead of capping ship types on Randoms they did it on CW. Well played WG, well played!

yes yes no because they don't care

The playerbase will never change. It cannot change unless players actively try to change and improve.And i am only speaking about the game mechanics here and not map strategies which for most, are super advanced stuff. Force feeding information and tutorials in game is not an option.Every one will just dismiss the video that poped on his screen and go on to his first match of the day. About the inmatch communication: -Personally i will follow what som1 calls except if its super stupid in my personal opinion. In that case i will fast explain why i will not follow it, will tell em what my plan is and proceed with my game.-2 or -3 karma follows. -Midgame, its hard to follow chat because wg still hasnt introduced tabs in chat. 1 tab that will show only the fast f-messages that no1 cares to read and another that will show only actual player chat. The biggest problem of the game(regarding randoms + ranked), besides people not being able to communicate in English is people not knowing basic mechanics like angling and also the disadvantage a player running without mods has versus someone that runs with mods. The second part can easily be address by wg by including in vanilla game mods like : navigator, minimap ship lines, zoom out, side-panels with health etc. These alone will boost the average players performance by at least 10-20%. At least that was the performance increase i saw in my self when i started using them close to my 600 battles. Now about the first part of the above paragraph. So far to advance tiers you only need to grind xp and nothing else. Imagine if after you unlock each new ship tier you had to pass a scripted test where it would teach you some new mechanic or tactic or playstyle specific to the ship line you are currently playing. Angling for example since i mentioned it before. You enter your solo "test" in a tier 5 Kongo. 10km from your broadside is another bb that fires and does scripted damage. You are stationary, heal up and the other ship moves to another angle where it shoots again. And that is repeat 3-4 times for various angles. Meanwhile a voice that matches your client language explains stuff. Interactive, not overly boring and most importantly without pressure at all. Same thing could be scripted for baiting radars, smoke shooting, map awareness, push or kite tactics etc. Other than that, i can see no other way to "forcibly" explain to a potato what he does wrong and what he ignores. To give a real example how ignorant some player are. I have a real life friend who after 800 matches still thinks that destroyers have citadels. Prefers to play at max range with bb because he is afraid of fires and is yolo rushing with cruisers because its fun. Thinks that when a destroyer torps, it has to appear on his screen. Blames his team for whatever absurd reason but never himself. Has no idea what those tiny yello exclamation marks that occasionally pop on his screen mean(you really need to either change them or freaking make em bigger). Played a bit of ranked for the rewards. 40% wr and avg dmg ofr 15k on everything. That attitude does not easily change.And that guy, who i really love, will eventually get to tier 10 playing a yamato with 40k avg dmg.

Like Niibler said, BUT. The ships will not have modules, consumables or guns. These will spawn from said containers. Just imagine.. Yamato with shima torps, super heal, torp reload booster and zao guns. Gearings with Yamato guns, TBs, radar. Let the bloodbath begin

Although few people agree with me, on this map, as a South Spawn i never go for A. I dont care if its closer. Its stupid. THEY should go for A and we should go for C. The reason? Look at Belfast and cleveland angles at C and the position of the rest of the red fleet near that cap. A well positioned bb and ca can wreck havoc and we tested that on several occassions with my old clan in friendly clan matches on this map. As a dd i still prefer B since it gives me central control and good protective islands. Even when i spawn close to A in south and people say that they will support A, what they mean is "Yes mate, i will have my guns towards you, shoot twice and hide behind an island. From that island i will be able to come around and shoot again in about 3 minutes, so if you die its your fault and not mine. Well, no.

Genuinely curious! Care to elaborate?!

I didnt read all the answers, so apologies if i repeat something that is already said but: Download "Aslaid Wows Modpack". Install "Navigator Mod". It shows you at which angle the enemy locked ship is moving relative to yours. Wait till he gives you a fair amount of broadside and shoot. In general as a bb you wanna shoot broadside targets and not angled ones unless they are either really low or being focused by many people. As i am not a very competent bb captain (my top bb is german t7), you may wanna judge for your self before taking my advice for granted. Welcome to our salty seas!

Who the hell proposes these changes and is still employed? Do you guys even play the same game as us? You just fraked every cruiser in the game. As if their pain wasnt already enough. This will just promote more camping. You really need to take 10 steps back and re-evaluate your decisions, present and past.

did it in a benson or gearing and also took the task from the "1 week free premium time" campaign that needs 200 gun hits in 1 match. Hardest part was to get the win since every1 kept yoloing.

Actually i have pretty much the same issues. It doesnt happen all the time, or even very often but its not rare either. That kind of behavior comes from getting tired of potato teams in random/ranked or being stupid and blaming others for your fuckups. Disabling chat might be a solution for you although i dont really recomend it.

While playing benson and gearing the mediocre games are 1m and the great ones go up to 1,5m potential 2.6m atago

Few suggestions You might wanna check out flambass and flamu youtube channels.Excelent gameplay videos with commentary and also Flamu has some lowtier guides. Also youtube for Captains Academy to fill any knowledge gaps regarding mechanics you may have and check out official wows yt channel.Especially the how smoke works video. Other than that, you may wanna use the Aslain modpack for very cool mods that will make your life easier and improve your game. Keep having fun :D

150 hits? Benson easy. Also picked the 200 hits task from the shinomone campaign. The hardest part was to win the match with those terrible teams

Actual player name-> Jef Bot name -> :Jef:

for the shake of your son, disable chat through Aslain modpack Welcome to our salty seas
