OK... you must be clairvoyant :)))))

True! Bit with his detectability, and if he is smart, he doesn't come in to close and hammers from further and rains fire. Whenever there is like a damage challenge, I always take the thunderer. It's the easiest ship to make 200+k damage in a battle

I agree though. Not in ranked but Random. Since several months, there has been a big increase in walkovers in the games.

Read his first line (there is a reason that it is the first line), then my comment. I am not reacting to his second line. His second line has nothing to do with his first line

I remember the good old days when I had my Montana spec'd for manual AA. If any flight would come near... I'd shred them before they could do anything. When the game started and there was a CV in-game, it was like getting a special container so good it felt :))) And all the friendlies were coming in your umbrella of AA defence. Now AA sucks on the Montana compaired to that. I was paired up with a friendly Missouri, bot AA rating 94, 1.5 KM apart and we could not prevent get torped or rocketed and shot down 1-2 planes. Amazing...

Captains don't change when selecting a new ship. they still have some items to fix I assume....

cause you have different captains on different ships. So you switch ships and the captain stayed the same in the screen.

Read the posts, not once the word Matchmaking or abbreviation MM... It's 95% about player competence.

IF (big if, and yes I get annoyed too) you would implement such a thing, I would suggest not so much a penalty as a forced training session :-) Something like if you score less then 200 points (depending on tier), play 3 games minimum at a tier lower, less than 300 2 games, less then 500 1 game. Advantage of this system is, I think: - people will try and live longer - Yolo assaults in min 1 will be less - AFK all game people will notice this rule too - people will (i hope) think more, learn to count, don't push on what they don't know or when it is 5-2 - people will be regularly playing at levels more to their play style - people will be playing at levels where you play longer - new CVs player will have to play more to their skill level And something like 500 point is easy to get...

There are several things influencing this: - Bad play (people progressing to fast up to high tier, parking light cruisers thinking they are BBs, people that can't count and push 2 - 5 odds, happy people, if only 5 ships are spotted, assuming they are all somewhere else, etc basically a member of the potato squad) - OP ships (if you have less or lose yours due to bad play and theirs are still in game, you're f*cked) - DD incompetence (if your DDs die early, you are fucked. Usually caused by bad DD play - sailing into caps announcing their presence with radar ships not spotted yet) - CV incompetence (if your CV sucks and theirs is good, the game is over) - Doorbell issue (I have seen people steam up so stupidly who are clan members and in tier X with 1000's of games played. That I am sure the doorbell rings, the mom or wife demands them to do something so they want to quit asap without going afk - People giving up cause they are 3 ships down in 3 min. When you have a combination of the above, things will occur exponentially fast and it can be over in under 8 minutes. 7 min 30 sec is the record for me.

Sometimes the game starts, you are uptiered and you know you have NO place in the game. Being tier 8 German BB and coming in the range of Smolensk and Yoshino, 1 you can't see, the other impossible to hit with your dispersion. Meanwhile, they melt you don't with fire and damage in seconds. What, for f*ck sake, is the fun in that game WG? Seriously??? Can you make it impossible for your incredibly stupid OP ships to come out against lower tier ships? How hard can that be? Show some intelligence and competence... (intelligence and competence is not making a DD that can do 40 torps btw.... that's the opposite)

Dear WG, With players having the possibility to go tier X within 26-29 games. Reaching tier IX within the press of the button in the store. Can you please make the following rule: if, in a tier VII-X game, you can't make 500 points, the next 3* games you have to play at least 1 tier lower. So that: - people steaming in caps in cruisers and BBs straight at the start of the game - people that can't count and don't see that they are vastly outnumbered from all sides - people that overcommit (usually without knowing what enemies are there) - DDs that go DEEP into enemy caps with the whole enemy team alive without knowing where the radar ships are - DDs that race for caps without AA protection in a CV game - AFK people that never show up (or incredibly late) - CVs that sail forward from when the game starts and get deleted in the start of the game At least can't be present in the next 3* games!!! *Preferably 5 games. You never know, maybe they will also buy a brand new ship from the store a tier lower?

Absolutely true, and to get 12 stranger to play as a team would be amazing. If you could get 6 it would be awesome. Unfortunately, that's rare. Personally I am already glad when I am not 4 ships down in 5 minutes.

500 is not hard to reach..... If you enjoy the game, I doubt you will not make it.

Nope, the other raises up too fast in comparison to their skill level. It takes under 2000 Coop games to get to the Yamato With a tier IX you end up in tier X games very often...

Of course, you disagree... you are WG. Here are your players saying telling you, all you need to do is press a button in the premium shop and you are instantly tier 9.

Go to the store, tier IX for sale. Flambass made a video about it, and he did not even win all games. Same a guys, got his Yamato after 3 weeks. 1870 coop battles.

Nice discussion guys, I come from a sports background, there you need to train hard to be good and to win to go to the next division. It's ok if you don't want to.. but then you end up in a competition where there are similar people like (some are called beer - teams). Its where I ended up after I got too old to be competitive. I have had to do many annoying assignments for this game, so for me, if I don't make my 500 points. I would not mind playing tier IX or VIII for 3 games. So many games now are done in max 12 minutes and I think it's a combination of spam and OP ships combined with players that lack skill. Hoe over when your team is massacred did you not lose all DDs in 3-4 minutes? How often were there not ships pushing a cap without knowing what is there? People see this is punishment, I see it as making people practice on a level they should be comfortable with.

Most other games have normal progression modes.

This is not incompetence, i can handle someone trying but not succeeding..... this is ignorance, they should not be on tier X.

Just plaid clan ware tier 6 (really stupid) and I noticed that even at the end of the game the CV was pumping out full squadrons. The game after that I noticed that hardly any planes were shot down? Is AA broken at low tier? Couldn't BBs and cruisers in that era not shoot down simple wooden biplanes? Or is a free training ground for CV players??

Is it me or do the under 10 min games happen more and more? Annihilate or get annihilated. Today first game 8 min, second lasted 7min31.... WTF is going on with this game? Is this so no one makes any credits anymore and they have to buy credits/Doubloons???

Today I got a Kraken and lost.. My team killed 6 in total... the other flank evaporated, I don't even think the ships coming from there had any damage. Today, tier 9 game, Sinop my right just sailed straight into cap.. CV game so you know you are spotted, 5 enemy ships on all side, I say 'Go Back", but full speed into cap... didn't last 3 min. I shoot 2 times... look at the score... 4 ships down in 4.5 min wtf. Perhaps if damage counts for less experience in the beginning then in the end.. then maybe people play more to stay alive and play a little smarter??

JOIN VLOOT!! Fun, relaxed, TS server where it's always friendly, young and old. People that are willing to teach you, learn you the ropes of the different ships. gezellig leuke clan, jong en oud, we gebruiken TeamSpeak voor communicatie!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Make it harder to reach the high tiers for CV!!! by going tier 4-6-8-10 people reach the highest tier WAY to quick!!! Put some kind of skill demand on it, even IF you have the experience points if you don't have something like 20 games above 1400-1500 points you can't progress!!! FFS, no spotting, no DD focussing, minimap oblivion, how to use the defensive planes to help teammates, deaf and blind to chat and help requests, torpedoing from the front or back instead of broadside, attacking AA strong ships, not knowing on who to use your AP bombers, Going with torp planes and bombers after DDs, etc etc My fav. thing is when a CV doesn't spot DDs is when they get torpedoed by them cause they break through :) :).
