Just imagine there you are, just downloaded WOWS, been working up to the point where you unlock random battles, in you go all excited, lose the first one and that's that.

Nah only ban those with sub 50% wr in ranked from ranked

Are you in the teaching profession?

Basic maths fail on your part there Well done

install days of the week mod and then it's 1 day from the weekend Whoop

Nope And then what do we get in the first container with a ship in it? Yes a Sanzang. Ah well gift horses etc. F7U12

I am apparently a cheater I torped a cruiser for first blood and dev strike and go accused of cheating. Was going to put that in "greatest gaming achievement" but didn't get round to it.

You have mis-diagnosed the problem - clearly you are just a whole level above the entire player base. Well done.

Would definitely be a help at low tiers though. Imagine if your kawachi could have it's turrets pointing at whatever targets they could actually bring to bear rather than continually trying to cross-deck fire when they can't That would easily bring your hits-on-target per game to 2, maybe 3.

Ah I see this is actually a thread about how the game is going down hill because of the player base not understanding the game mechanics.

You can do this already. It's slightly annoying that you can't stop the turret traverse on whatever guns are not going to get to the target you're aiming at but only slightly. I frequently keep 2 targets under fire this way, not very effectively as i'm a terribletm shot but if you're bow in at one target and another happens to pop up that your rear guns can reach without maneuvering, all the better. Would be even better for ships like the Bogatyr if you could get the guns on both sides doing something as those low tier melees would in practice have both sides firing at whatever came to bear rather than only allowing fire at one side.

Me too Nelson is currently a bit lonely in the sub 500k FXP category

lol so the result of that one was pushing in and getting murered by a minotaur. Tsk deadeye eh?

I'm really not sure that players are actually keeping to the back more than they were. Sure there will be a certain number trying out this new pinkeye thing, but also, everytime you see someone at the back you tut and blame it on pinkeye whereas you didn't before. Confirmation bias

I agree. Just got Eritrea and it's a struggle. Sure looks nice in gold tho

XP? Steady there with your flash modern technology.

Video won't play on Netscape. What should I do?

I like the idea of choice Don't want to play against CVs? Fine, pick a mode where they won't be Fed up with campers? Fine, pick a mode that doesn't have it Bored with current predictable games? Fine. pick a new mode. I'm sure not every mode would suit everyone but that's rather the point, pick one you like and kwicherbitchen

While we're at it is there a reason that all the santa captains in the recent campaigns are male? We need answers here.

What would also be quite fun is to have some CA or maybe CA+DD battles. Could be a good laugh, fast moving mayhem.

I think it's true that some cruisers are extremely challenging to play effectively. For example in my limited experience, Kotovsky (weak guns, weak armour, short range torps no smoke, no upside), Yahagi (I mean the torps are great on the rare occasions you can get them lined up without dying) and Neptune (ship has good DPM and if you can land torps, great, but it has effectively 1hp so you have to be super careful to stay stealthy and healthy). Others have some really nice features which you can make work, though my stats show that I clearly have not quite mastered this yet!

Looking at the data at the top of the thread, it looks like CVs are not popular enough. What can be done to support this clearly weak class?

mystery solved

Also, epic first post, well done!

Feel better? If you torp your own team mate, apologise straight away regardless of the reason If you get accidentally torped, sheet happens, move on. 100% of the time, ranting in chat achieves nothing
