Great news everyone, absurd AA build on best AA ship can kill planes from a 42% CV player if he eats all the flak. Visual representation of nozoup/notser videos

I agree for tanking, feel like you get nothing for tanking, BBs getting something for tanking could actually be good for the game. Reward for spotting is pretty decent actually, DDs get rewarded 40% of the damage on their spotting, that's a lot, or at least it can be. Thing is, if another DD is spotting the same ships getting pummeled, you share that 40%. I tested this once because the situation was ideal, I was the only DD, there was no CV, I got behind enemy lines and did nothing but spotting. Got big boi rewards without shooting my guns or capping anything.

You get nothing spamming AFK games in ranked. What I did see ranking out was people who are exceptionally bad at the game, they know, but they really want the doubloons so they spam over one thousand no-camo DD yolo rounds to rank out. It's sad, but it's also very uncommon, seen it twice so I don't let it bother me. Last season I've seen one CV bomb himself to get out of the match, that too was sad, but again, one guy. Tens of thousands of people play this, occasionally running into a clown is inevitable. AFK boys on your team either don't realize you get nothing if you're AFK or they actually disconnected.

When I was a complete noob at the game I set Grozovoi as my first goal, followed a guide from the N°1 Grozovoi player in the world on how to set it up and how to play it. I screwed up 400 battles trying to play the ship in ways I could not pull of today, nevermind back then. Superunicum advice is bad advice for a potato but it can even be bad advice for an average or a good player. I understand what Sriver is saying and I'm sure he's right, but there's no way I would play Smaland like that because I know I couldn't pull it off.

OP knows why this happens, the only cruiser he's ever played is anchorage. He's fully aware of the fact that the only role cruisers play these days is so 457mm/460mm battleships have something to farm devastating strikes on. Deadeye just made it so that cruisers now get devastated in their spawn, nobody plays the class anymore and OP is big sad there's nothing left to devastate.

Explain why anyone would play a cruiser when every battleship that's being played has 457mm/460mm and deadeye to overmatch+citadel+devastate cruisers in their spawn? People are not going to play a class just to give you something to farm devastating strikes on. Battleships got so powerful and there's so many of them, cruiser players just noped out and are playing battleships themselves, or destroyers. But you don't need me to tell you why cruisers are not being played, you know why, same reason you're at 65% battleship + 35% aircraft carrier. BBs are the majority, they wanted to devastate every cruiser in their spawn, they got what they wanted, now there's nothing left to shoot, how is this shocking to anyone.

I have 21pt kuznetsov in Sinop and recently got 21pt lutjens in T61 (yes, I'm terrible, sue me) - Lutjens is worse, or better, depends on your perspective I didn't think much of Lutjens initially because everyone kept saying kuznetsov kuznetsov, right, until you try it, healing for 2K a few times in a DD is more impactful than living an extra 30 seconds in a battleship.

Haha, not setting you straight, sharing info is how we all get better. Well not Dfens obviously he's OP plz nerf

You do realize that for every 70% super unicum two 40% mega potatoes have to exist right? Complaining about math won't change math. You can argue against random matchmaking, there's a topic for that. But I'll just drop the argument in favor or random matchmaking to save you some time : "Fair" matchmaking would result in everyone having 50% winrate, quality of play would be even lower because bad players would always get carried to 50% wins, they would have no reason to improve nor would they, good players would be forced to carry 100% of the time and be punished for doing so 100% of the time, eventually they would just leave because why bother, they'd be forced to carry until their backs break and they would still be capped at winning 50% of their games, the better they play, the worse their teammates are. All games like this have random matchmaking, it's just how it is, you're going to have to deal with potatoes like the rest of us. The best you can do to alleviate the situation for you personally is install matchmaking monitor, not to frustrate yourself further, but to know which players on your team are reliable and which are not. When a DD in front of you is 44% WR 15K average damage 15K games, you leave the flank, he's going to explode in one minute anyway, no point in dying trying to support. Just take that information, leave and support somewhere else, team is better off with you alive. If the potato asks why you're leaving, don't tell him why, shut up and play your game, he just straight lined into the cap fifteen thousand times, you saying something won't change it. He's going to explode soon and he won't talk to you anymore after he's dead, they don't stick around to watch other people play - If they did they wouldn't be potatoes. Hidden profile = assume 40% or less. There's a handful of exceptions to this of people with god stats who hide but there's so few of them you can remember their names and/or know by the clan tag. You can use monitor to calm yourself down even, if you use it a lot, you'll see that for every team of potatoes, you get a team of great players. And you can adjust your play accordingly, if you're in a team of potatoes, don't play to win, you won't win, see it as an opportunity to pad your damage numbers instead. When people on your team are doing absolutely bizarre thing, consider children play video games too, you can't expect big brain tactical play from someone who eats their own boogers. You seem to hate monitor but ironically, it's the solution to your problem, if used correctly.

Not sure if ending to a forum post or dramatic ending to the greatest science fiction novel ever written. Nobody talks like this IRL kek

Is too damn accurate - spent the last 35K steel I earned on unique captains. The only ones vaguely interesting to me were stalingrad and plymouth but stalingrad ehhh, whenever I see one since the patch it's on fire, no hydro is a tough sell too. And plymouth, sure, if you really hate destroyers I guess. But if you hate destroyers so much, play daring or smaland, they're still useful after you killed the enemy DDs.

I'll take things that didn't happen for $200 Alex. Did you even read this topic before commenting? You can go back 8 pages, don't think anyone said don't touch deadeye. Nothing changed, the skill itself is fine but it has unintended consequences that made a noticeable amount of (especially high tier) matches boring. For example, I like hindenburg, always liked her, I never once thought to run rangemod and spotterplane on her for 27km range, that's silly, why would I want 27km range on a damn cruiser. Now I have to because I want to shoot the Thunderers and yamatos slapping me silly me from across the map. There's no way wargaming intended for people to hump the border and tickle eachother from max range, not to this extent anyway. Game devs sell fun, it ain't fun.

I read the translation, they didn't say deadeye was messed up, they said it had unintended consequences. That's basically what we are seeing. Deadeye itself is not problematic, it's the way some people respond to having the skill. I'm willing to bet the new deadeye will be a flat accuracy buff, regardless of where your ship is. So people don't derp-rush (and shift the meta completely to Russians or bust) and people don't border hump in Thunderers for 20 mins (what we're seeing now) If people use deadeye in a "normal" way, i.e play just outside of your concealment range and enjoy an accuracy buff - i.e still push up despite having deadeye when the opportunity is there - the skill is totally fine. What's pissing people off is seeing deadeye rangemod battleships humping the border, cruisers being blapped without having anything to shoot at within main battery range. A shocking number of people are incapable of using the skill in a normal way, so we are seeing dumb things. What I think and hope we'll see is a (maybe slightly nerfed) version of deadeye that does not incentivize running away OR pushing in. Both are stupid, if you make it so you get a buff for pushing, you're going to see potato BB suicide yolo and Russians crushing everyone because that's when Russians shine. If you have a problem and you want to fix it, the solution is doing something else, not doing the exact opposite of what you were doing. Nobody ever mentioned Russian ships being very much screwed since deadeye meta, Imagine playing a kremlin when everyone is 26km away. Maybe mentioning Russians getting screwed is not popular? Either way, please don't 180° this and create (actually real this time) russian bias

Ehhh, if anything deadeye reminded everyone to be careful with drastic skill changes. Remember how massa was the best T8 BB by a lot until 3 weeks ago? What you're suggesting there would make every other T8 BB an absolute waste of time. Just one example of what could go wrong. You know how Russian accuracy works yes? Imagine if everyone was trying to get close, I can hear screams about Russian bias from the future. Whatever they do, I hope they think it through, several meetings, bring coffee.

How is this complex or controversial. Premium for WOWS and WOT is the same price, but the ways and rate at which you can acquire gold in both games is different, it makes sense you can't buy WOT premium with WOWS currency or vice versa. I don't know why WOWP is an exception to this but if I had to guess : WOWP is nowhere near as popular and they want to make it easy for you to play planes sometimes. It's no secret weegee beat the other guys with boats and the other guys beat weegee with planes.

What fumtu said. Pommern is a cool ship but she's not OP, not super meta or getting spammed by everyone like Thunderer is and to a lesser extent Georgia was. She's going to be around for you to pick up if nothing else comes out you like more, don't worry about it. She's also always going to be an amazing pick for small map T9 content, so if you do pick her up, don't worry about her not being meta in randoms, she'll be useful.

Maybe it's time to let it rest, everyone is pleased with the outcome. - If you like DIE IN A FIRE 39% WINRATE POTATO NOOB content, good old Flamu will always be there for you, praise the heavens. - If you do not like this because you think it's inappropriate for some weird reason (?) - Wargaming is no longer sponsoring him.

Every time I see him in game he's in a CV dropping me hard so I spam forum to make him go away, big brain tactics.

Changing it would be messed up anyway, deciding between a unique captain and a top tier premium ship is not easy. I got all the unique and enhanced captains for coal, all of them, was a tough choice every time, you got ships instead. You can't go "I will go with the ships and then ask captains become cheap because I want that too" They're expensive because it's supposed to be a meaningful choice - And because you were not grinding during the time when there were other ways of getting these captains, this too was a choice. Sometimes I think damn, wish I got smolensk and thunderer when I had the chance. Sometimes you go damn, wish I got Lutjens and Kuznetsov when I had the chance. It's intended to be a choice.

Pretty sure CCs don't get paid, just get tools like cc account and promotion. They get paid with youtube ads, twitch donations etc. Also I don't need to get paid, knowing I annoy half of you, make the other half giggle and making @Excavatus do overtime is invaluable. He plays CV a lot and he's pretty good at it - I'm wasting his time reading through my mess so he can't play CV.

Agree, this stuff is freaky, whenever someone says this, I check if they played recently. Half of them play every day - Imagine saying I QUIT I QUIT every day while playing every day, hilarious. Half of them really did stop playing months ago - They're even more crazy because they spend time discussing a video game they don't even play anymore

Get paid? This is an outrage, I'm a forum content creator and work for free. I've entertained more of you here than many CCs on twitch. @Excavatus We need to talk, I'm clearly an expert in memeology, how do I get paid accordingly.

I see, didn't think of that

AA skills work - I am killing planes and the CV totally cares.

Taking AA skills is a coping strategy. You cry and say 'planes killed me but I killed some planes too' The cope is worth 6 skillpoints
