FYIF, this is the only game ive ever played online where i have not encountered any cheating, or if i have, it simply doesnt matter att all. NEVER i have i died in this game and thought there was something suspicious about it, never. I can complain about 1000 things with this game, but cheating is not one of it

It happens, and when it does i use to switch to Khaba and go pew-pew [edited]u team i aint capping or teamplaying or whatever. And then i usually win

Then you need to learn to play around your detection range, and use your smoke wisely.. Not only use your smoke, but also plan for when it ends to relocate unspotted

First mistake you do in a Smolensk, and almost every other ship, is to go into the islands. Smolensk shines in open water. The ships that you would go into the islands with, is Des Moines, Atlanta etc.

Been there, done that several times. Been taking breaks for 6-12 months at a time aswell, each time i come back the game is worse. First "break" was stealth fire removal. Next i think was RPF. And the free you are spotted captain skill, wich is perphaps the worst change ever. Then alot of radars and hydros, and every single fokking ship having random planes did cause some breaks, and the CV fukkup aswell. Edit: And now the contant chatbanning for telling idiots thay are idiots

I play mostly Cruisers and DDs btw, and ocean is the best map in the game for me. There you get no islands blocking your dmg all the time and vision for that matter, and you get to play smart around your detection range etc. There are exactly 1 ship that struggles a bit if you dont have a dd in division, and that is the Atlanta. There is a reason i always go to the more open parts of any map, in almost any ship. Too often i see for example our only dd with consealment advantage goes to the part of the map with most islands, just so he can make sure he can be surprised by a minotaur or something, instad of going to the more open areas, where he will have total vision control, full control over enemy radars and so on. And when asked why he goes into the islands, answer is alway "enemy radars".... Yes, as if its better to be in a area where you cant actually see the enemy ships....

No, make it appear as often as other maps instead, its the best map in the game

So there should be no counter? thats what you are saying right? You just want do brainlessly spew planes at the enemy like the Edited*

That i dont remember RTS time?

No, i dont forget about the RTS time, thats exactly what im saying if you can read

I still remember the exitement of having a cv in the game when playing some super AA specced cruiser, now that is all gone. And i equally remember the horror of CVs when you played something not. And that was exiting. Now its just stupid, you wont get deleted, but you will get hit every now and then UNAVOIDABLE, and the perma spotting

Becouse i have tried it in coop? Besides, i dont like the spam of planes that do low dmg indefeitely, before, you planned your strike far ahead, it took minutes, now you just braindeadly throw planes at the enemy

Yep, stopped completely spending a single euro on this game, and not playing regularily any more

I honestly think the whole rework is garbage, before it was fun with CVs in the game, both as a non-cv and as playing as cv. Now both is boring

I also couldnt select it earlier on some ship, i think it was T8 french CA. After switching captain to another ship and back, with the retraining costs, it worked.

Not looked into your stats, but it might be purple becouse you do high dmg in ships others struggle with

Atlanta on ocean? Borrow a smoke :) Yes some ships will struggle a bit, but they can all be played well on that map. I honestly belive all my best games have been on that map

Well, if they want to camp on ocean, let them! Im still gonna burn them, unlike any other map where islands blocks vision/dmg

Maybe for you it is a campy map, for me its not. And there campers can be shot at anyways, thats whats so good about it. There you need to know vision mechanics, slipping in and out of vision if in cruiser etc. Its the kind of map you can get really good games in, becouse islands isnt blocking your dmg / vision all the time

I totally agree on the island thing, too many islands on all maps. And ocean is almost never to be seen, so sad since its the only really good map

I dont get how one can get so bad if one actively try to play the game, i just dont

Just upload it

Hehe, or just use free xp for everything, so you can pay WG a little aswell. I havent grinded a single line, just cant stand it :)

Wow, a new player looking to improve! Best of luck, glhf

The level of idiotism is so high right now, just had a game in tears of the cruisers, me (smolensk) and shima pushes to the southern cap. Shima goes inside, i am smoked up and farming some enemy cruisers next to the islands. Then a enemy shima arrives 6km from me, spotted by our shima. I get of two salvoes, taking more than half his hp in a few seconds, and what do our shima do? He smokes up, so enemy shima barely gets away. Now, i could understand that if there were any danger for him nearby (no, i cant really understand it), but there was nothing there. So many idiots have the "auto smoke if detected". Then he proceeds into the islands were all the enemy radars and CLs are to die, instead of going wide and provide vision. And when i tell him in (very) harsh language what i think of him, i get answered in german ofcourse :P Also, rest of team dead in less than 8 minutes, no kidding....
