If those repair costs are as bad as people saying, then maybe start by lowering those? Tbh, i didnt even know there was repair costs until a little while ago, got 120 millions by now and what to use them for? And no, i want to face off with tier X ships in my tier 8s, thats part of the fun (and why i bought the premiums, if they are reduced to 2nd class aka tier6-9 only, i want my money back). Heck, it could even be fun if they increased the gap to +-3 tiers for more variety. Remember, we are talking RANDOM battles here, no competition. in competition everyone got T8 so thats fine Btw, im not callin you a fggt

Strange! I took my Konigsberg out for a few matches today, i very rarely do, and i noticed just the same. Citadels everything exept that ship. I even had a situation where one was broadside of me for 3 salvos from 6km, good solid AP dmg but no citadels. I know its a very small sample, but i just thought there was something strange and then i come on to the forums and read this

I would like joining some kind of clan. I come from competetive lvls of counter-strike, so i know what gaming is about. I started with wows 3 months ago, but already got 1700+ battles, and steadily improving (my stats are open). I mainly play cruisers, but might give BBs another try now with more exp under my belt. Got the Amagi. Do not have alot of Tier8 ships as i have seen no reason to play anything but Kutuzov hehe

Well, just to adress that little example of yours. Khabarovsk is a gunboat, Fubuki a torpedo boat. You are at a disadvantage becouse of that, not becouse of T8 vs T10. Try torp him like he is a cruiser? Ambush him? Smoke up and spam at him? Anyways, put a idiot in the Khaba vs a unicum in a Fubuki, and we both know who will win that one And i have not gotten higher into RU DDs than Kiev (nice ship), and one thing ive already learned is that american DDs you want to keep at a distance. If there is a close quarter duel, he got to use his guns as effectively as i, and the better player therefore wins. So if i was to attack one in Bensson, get close, and aim / move around better than him. Use small Islands etc, as he cant turn at all compared to you.

Thats a stupid comparison. This game puts you vs ships +-2 tiers. Every T6 can beat any T8, any T8 can beat any T10. The better player wins that duel. If i get matched against T6 ships ,in my kutuzov for example, im just as likely to die as in T10, probably even more since T10 ships tend to bow-on reverse like idiots, wich my HE shells quite like. I can have awesome games in T10 like picture below, and awful ones in T6, and im never blaming MM for it, never. battle result1.bmp

I, for one, have never understood the problem. People whining about MM in almost every game im in. I dont get it, its not ships who wins / looses battles, its players. The better team wins, regardless of tiers, simple as that (usually the team with players knowing how to press "W" at the beginning of battles). Nothing is funnier for me than wrecking higher tiered ships. The only thing i might find a little annoying is when enemy team gets several DDs, and my team has 0. That happens very rarely though and is just another challenge to overcome

Yes, yes, i know all that. You are missing my point. I asked WHY is it like this?

But on topic: I am quite happy with the mentioned Kutuzov. I also got the Tirpitz, but nah, im not doing nearly as good in it. And i find it a little strange that it has so bad dispersion when good shooting was germanys "trait". I would easily drop the torps for accurate guns. Same with Warspite, why the bad range as a "feature"? It has arguably the longest recorded hit in history...

I dont agree. I went straight into premium Kutuzov in like tier 4 or something and im doing perfectly ok. My winrate is highest at tier 8, much lower in the low tiers wich i dont enjoy at all.

Wich might just prove that OP have a point. Why have a skill one MUST pick? How can one expect that everyone should KNOW that you must have this skill? Not everyone reads the forums, watch youtube etc.

For me its the other way around. Went to try WOT, and i really suck at it. Some tips for you, dont show broadside, hold your own fire until enemy shows his. Vs hugely angled enemy, just switch target if there are better options. and early BBs are just very inacurate, you can land perfect volleys and still miss every single shot

Looks like a fair match, you are even on Kutuzovs

This was a great one for me atleast, not for the enemy CV But the whole day have been good, played teambattles as a mercenary with a random team, 7 battles and won all 7. battle result1.bmp battle result2.bmp

Oh really? Guess your norwegian then We could perphaps play together sometime with teamspeak or something, i might have a few tricks to share with you. Heia Norge i rødt, hvitt og blått !

The karma system is kind of pointless becouse people report for bad play if you disagree with them ingame etc. I dont usually check my karma, but i did this time since a whole division of 2BBs and a CV disagreed with my way of CARRY the game for them. Was on two brothers, and one of the sides were ravaged by aircraft, they screamed for me to get all the way from the other side, near enemy cap to help them. I got -5 karma after this, and after that i just started ignoring it completely. i will however, compliment good play by others Nytt punktgrafikkbilde.bmp

How on earth could that be a mistake? MK is my favorite ship in the game, and my performance in it is far beyond any other ship.

I have turned pink once in my short career. A DD desides to start firing at me right from start, i catch fire, repairs. when repair is out he sets me on fire again, and this time , no mercy, i sank the [edited]. was pink for 4-5 battles afterwards

If anything, this +-2 tier thing have never bothered me. For my part, we could increase it to like almost all tiers in a match. What is the point of having a big, fantastic OP ship if the enemy is just the same? we could just as easily brawl out at tier 2 everyone. And i do not care the slightest if im tossed into a tier 10 match, ill show those a lesson

I did 7k AP volleys on yamato with kutuzovs 152mm guns. it simply amazing. There is a reason for why i dont fear BBs at all, and other cruisers and DDs are the main problem

Am i wrong you think?

Yes you are right. This game needs to learn from old CS and other succesfull PVP games. In PUBLIC (large letters again, i cant state this enough), expect to meet your grandpa, or maybe your cousin with his children on his knee wanting to press buttons. In short, your achievements in this mode, PUBLIC, dont [edited]matter whatsoever. When facing a team though, of dedicated players thats something different. In short folks, i am laughing on public, and come with your impressive stats and i dont care

Yes there is. download aslans modpack and select the ones you wish to use. there you have "Zeiss vision mod, wich increases fov. http://aslain.com/index.php?/topic/2020-0551-aslains-wows-modpack-installer-wpicture-preview-v55101-13052016/

You can shoot them down. Kutuzov with AA focus just loves the few games where i actually see a Midway or Hakuryu. 50 planes in a match is my record

I do agree with you, there is a reason i like playing HE-spamming cruiser the most. Another thing about the HE spam that i dont know have been mentioned, is the psyko effect it may have on players. Catching fire might make some players "panic", even if they dont know it themselves, making more wrong decitions etc. How to solve it? i dont know, since without HE, my ship would be useless vs a BB
