He does have one : We need more inclusivity, but also 50% of humans on earth are sad and pathetic for having opinions that don't align exactly with mine.

Quote removed You're talking about +- 4 billion people here mister tolerance and inclusivity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservatism

The prime minister of Canada would like you to say perpeopleent voiceover, it's more inclusive.

They're the same words activists use to shame game developers into forcing players to listen to 9 minute monologues about how some NPC cut off his peepee. It literally always starts with these words. When you say "Genders, equality and inclusiveness" - We are worried wargaming will add pronouns to the game by the end of the week, because that's what happens every time. Vox, salon and buzzfeed wrote ten thousand articles with those words about mass effect andromeda and in mass effect you literally land on a planet and are forced to listen to a 9 minute monologue about some dude that's now a lady. The developers felt they had to do this and everyone laughed at them. They're the same words that were used to force the developers of magic the gathering to remove 100+ cards from the game two months ago.

This isn't like kingdom come deliverance where the developers could say no. No women, no trans people, no black people, only white males, our goal is historical accuracy. Nobody other than white men were knights in 14th century bohemia. Meanwhile world of warships has literal santa clause and anime characters for captains. Just say you want female captains (even though no such thing existed) and cut out the buzzwords, it frightens people because they have seen too many books, movies and videogames they love ruined by this.

No problem, great, have at it. Women in uniform don't piss people off, your buzzwords do, because we have been on this ride before in many video games, books and movies. Those buzzwords led to landing on a planet in mass effect andromeda and just as you are about to murder some goddamn aliens, an NPC walks up to you and gives you a 9 minute lecture on gender reassignment surgery, we couldn't even skip it hitting escape or clicking next, we couldn't goddamn skip it. We had to listen to it, we don't care what you did to your peepee sir/ma'am, good for you, now please let me kill aliens.

Who says I don't appreciate women in the military? Women were famous snipers in the red army. It's the words, the buzzwords, we know what OP means. "choose between the gender of captains" "the game is not inclusive at all" "I'd welcome a step in the direction of equality" All of this is code-language for wanting to stink up this game with xer/xie/xem pronouns

I mean we have to drop some memes here before it gets closed.

How do you guys deal with the enormous influence DDs have on the match? I'm finding it harder and harder to play cruisers and battleships because the outcome of a match is almost entirely determined by whichever team has competent DDs, I don't like being at the mercy of someone else, for the most part I just play destroyers now to actually enjoy myself, but when I do play cruisers or battleships - it's changing the way I play in various ways : DDs on my team die early or leave flank for "muh flanking torpedo" enemy team has all the caps => This is a loss => Stop doing things to win, just pad damage numbers and hope it's over quick. Enemy DDs die early, my team has all the caps => This is a win => Play super aggressive to get some damage done before the match is over, hope some of your teammates die so you have time to do some damage. It's influencing me to the point where if I see potato DDs on my team, I don't even bother getting in good positions to radar anymore, because I know they won't win their DD vs DD duel even if they are smoked up and the enemy DD is lit up by radar, they likely won't even shoot the enemy DD when they are safe and smoked up while the enemy DD is radared. And if I get myself into a good position to provide radar coverage, that's usually a bad position to kite away from and farm in the (inevitable) loss. Lately when the enemy team has a very good DD that's obviously doing what needs to be done for a win, I will chase it with radar, even if I know it will cost me my ship, because in the back of my mind I know, if that thing lives, we lose anyway. I'm noticing in my own behaviour that it's gotten a bit silly to the point where I see a radar cruiser on 6K HP and a full HP BB, if my DDs are potato, I will farm the battleship, obviously this is moronic but hey, more damage, winning was never an option anyway. Basically Enemy DDs good, your DDs bad => Farm damage, stop trying to win Your DDs good, enemy DDs bad => Charge in like a maniac to do damage before the time is up Enemy has a superunicum DD => Charge into him like a maniac to kill it knowing full well you will die Is this a normal way to respond? If not, how do you respond? It's even making me appreciate competent CVs in a weird way because competent CV can at least partially fill the role of several dead potato DDs. The only games I enjoy in cruisers or battleships is when both teams have potato DDs or both teams have competent DDs, I can't remember a match where one team lost their DDs early and it was fun, for anyone, not for the team steamrolling or the team getting steamrolled. I'm thinking maybe play DD exclusively solo and play other ship classes only when in division with a good CV or DD?

I've seen this once in the last 6 months or so, a dude spawned, sailed to the corner and laughed at the team like "haha i'm not playing you're screwed now etc" (we won anyway) - It's super rare though because to do this, you have to be an actual psychopath, I mean, imagine spending your free time playing a video game for the express purpose of not playing said video game to piss people off. These are the kind of people that torture cats and stuff, they're sick in the head. It's not like you'll see one every week

40% is as low as you can go solo. The only way to go under 40% is division with other useless people to screw your team extra hard. So like, if you find someone with 35% winrate, you'll find their solo winrate is actually 40%. 40% means you're so useless, you might as well play a DD, spawn, sail to the edge of the map and say naughty words in chat. This guy wouldn't have contributed more if he played those games, he's really just that bad lol

I'll give you one organic example, took my kid out of school and started homeschooling her when the supposedly very not-racist anti-racists were teaching my kid classes on "the evils of whiteness" - This stuff is sick, it's a plague, an actual plague.

People pretended to care about this crap in some countries 10 years ago to humor you, I mean, your movement kinda peaked when you got transgenders storming the beaches of normandy fighting african nazis in battlefield 5. Wargaming is Russian, Russia never fell for the 945 genders meme, I don't think it's going to happen. I'm sure someone with a very useful degree in gender studies and underwater basket weaving made a mod for it though, look around.

The rework didn't break the game at all, it broke my spirit though, battleships asking carriers to please stop spotting enemy destroyers because it messes with their deadeye skill broke my spirit. Also my faith in humanity, it broke that too.

I have literally never been in a match that does not have the maximum amount of BBs, there's always a ton of BBs sitting in queue waiting for other ships to play with.

Woah I just had an epiphany. Hear me out What if wargaming added deadeye for the same reason they removed the old survivability expert? Force BBs to stop being potatoes. Think about it, what does the potato BB never do? Shoot DDs. What will the potato BB do if the DD is messing with his precious deadeye? That's right ... Shoot the DD. 4D chess by wargaming confirmed.

CV-only game mode already exists by the way, it's called tier 4

Yes I drive straight into a cap in a chapayev to kill a shima and go back to port, don't look at me like that, I'm grinding, I did my job, played a T8, traded with a T10. Thanks for the 1500 base xp and first blood, took me 2 minutes. You boys enjoy the next 18 minutes, I'm out Also, sorry to all the T10 DDs out there, no worries, I'm almost finished with this grind. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Wait..

No, if you play a T8 and do 15K damage to a T10 DD, you'll get more XP than farming 100K damage on T8 BBs. How do you think people get 3K base XP games? They're bottom tier and are very specific about what they shoot. Reward is based on percentage of HP taken, so 5K to a DD counts as 30K to a BB and the result is heavily skewed towards shooting something higher tier than you. In fact, if you spawn in a T8 cruiser, rush a T10 DD, blow it up, eat a torpedo and die. You will probably top the scoreboard with 120 seconds of playtime. It's a brutally efficient way to grind. Feel free to not try it out because I would like all the T10 DDs to myself when I'm grinding.

If you have a lot of German premiums of different classes, Lutjens might be worth, because of the rework. Unlike Kuznetsov, I bought him for 17.500 steel to use him in one ship and he's worth it Oh you thought I'm dead? Haha I'm not dead, silly goose. I'm perfectly fine, here, look, my heal is back up.

That would become very boring very fast because there's a few DDs that are very good at dealing with other DDs, not so good at dealing with CAs and BBs. You'd just see those. Same applies to cruisers and battleships. So like, class only mode destroyers, who in their right mind would bring a torpedo focused DD, that's half the ships of that class useless on day 1. Class only mode for DDs would basically be whoever has the most Smälands and Darings wins ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Whoever brought Shimas and Somers loses, because the ships Shima & somers are supposed to kill are not there.

You're going to get a lot less value out of Lutjens than you think. Doesn't do anything in T-61 because carriers exist, even if there's no carriers, you spot ships in the beginning of a match when you're full HP, the ability doesn't do anything. Doesn't do anything in Tirpitz because secondaries are a meme. Lutjens does something in Hindenburg and Mainz in the last 5 minutes of a 20 minute match, how often do those happen lately? Pommern meanwhile is a unique T9 ship, not meta in RB/CB but very fun and an absolute bully in T9 ranked.

No, secondaries always were and remain a meme, deadeye is also a meme. This is my captain build for every battleship I own, North Carolina, Sinop, Kremlin, Ohio, Georgia, don't care, same build. It's exactly like the classic BB build before the rework except AR now buffs AA and heals got 10% better. You don't get massa, georgia or ohio for the stupid secondaries, you get them for the fast reloading heal. It's literally in the word, secondaries, as in, not primary (although I do have a second captain to play the secondary meme when I feel like having a laugh, it's not actually good, it never was, but it's funny)

Don't worry about it, it was bad. Pommern is the exact same style, it's also not meta, but at least it's actually good at what it does. If you want this style at T8, Tirpitz. But i'd go with pommern, tier for tier it's better, better matchmaking and economy too, and it's free, just need coal.

This is an odd question, there is no best and worst T10 BB. They're all the best and the worst at something. Kremlin is still the best at bow tanking and close-midrange blapping power. GK is still the best brawler and holding a position, you can't citadel the damn thing at close-medium range. I fell for the meme of X is better than Y and Z, people told me to get Ohio because it's a better Montana. In many ways it is, in many ways it's not, when I'm shooting DDs, light cruisers or any broadsides, I wish my Ohio was a montana.
