What`s the point of punishment if it doesn't hit where it hurts?

Most likely because without his spotting, other players wouldn't have over 100k damage so he deserved to be high if not top by respecting his ship role. btw raw damage only gives more silver me think

Just once? Funny thing is, after PT survey with last question about disconnections, my answer was 3-5 in last 2 weeks ... that day had 4 with my personal best of 3 in same battle. My connection is fine otherwise I would have same problems with other games which I play online like iracing ... btw OP - no crashes. So far I had only one client crash in almost 2 years if we forget PT client, and my PC configuration is "ancient" with phenom II, ddr2 ...

I guess that MM issue with radar ships is because of ships that have radar at disposal but not using them as they have to give up on something more important to them. RN T8+, vast majority is using smoke so can they be really considered as radar ships? On the other side for example, what would you gave up on upon Des Moines or Moskva not to have radar?

If that`s true than can you explain this - on EU servers i have 34-35 ping, no crashes but occasional slow start or disconnect especially with 30k+ players on servers. On the other hand not a single hiccup on NA servers with 109 ping. No slow starts, no disconnects. On the OP, if that was a joke than it`s fine, but if it wasn't than no other choice except reporting in game or ticket to WG, or ignore. Had similar situation with player openly stated that he will be afk if dd don`t state in chat where he is going. At the time our only dd had other things on his mind, more important than letting his ship go without control while typing, and answers from others (including mine) was to use minimap to see. He was "half joking" (read: insulted that world is not gravitating around him) as he moved far away from battle not shooting his guns at all.

Personally, i'm fine with +2 tier mm, but there is situations when it is really frustrating. For example, few days ago, in 8 out of 10 i was lowest tier. Or being lowest tier with Edinburgh on tears of the desert map ... Every situation when MM try to force you for to play in "survivor" mode ... ...you know, 1st priority to survive, 2nd priority to stay alive, 3rd priority to not being killed, fight not an option. Sorry but it`s not interesting to me to be just a spectator.

Are you doing that in random battle with at least tier V ship?

@ Favuz I guess it may be language barrier but line between camping and pushing (recklessly) is huge. What i see as problem that ppl don`t discern camping from holding the ground aka defending. When ship/s stay for majority of battle around area that is already secured, too far to significantly make impact in battle which can go both ways or play bb like ca, scared of 1 volley damage that can erase him not understanding that RNG is not that much evil ... basically avoiding conflict as much as they can. That is camping. Yours example with Izumo, is defending because, with that amount of damage and kills, it is obvious that enemy was showing interest for that area ... impact in battle. Personally i`m aggressive (sometimes too much... most of the time ... whatever) because i like active role and my style is based on using good sides of ship first, than thinking about bad sides. A lot of ppl do the opposite which is not a bad thing as long as they are not obsessed with that to extent to ignore good ones ... and vice versa because my way is not the only right way. I find myself a lot in situations as overextended but i never push if there is no reason for that. Example - offer myself as target because i can take a punch and return a favor, all that in order for my teammates can do more important job like finish capping without being disturbed, run away or simply pick a target which will not fire back as he is preoccupied with me ... Ok, I`ll get my coat ...

How about to turn team killing into suicide - no damage for victim and double damage for shooter? Accidental hit would not sink you nor teammate, deliberate would. OP, yes, it is frustrating but this is game with set of rules which are, most of them, right. By that rules, if you fire back, you are no better than him and, to me, that sounds right.

Got some consumables, 50 "paddle faster" flags and Mutsu. Thanks OP.

EU account: 300db 10k free XP NA account: 300db De Grasse + 10pts captain Happy with both.

Possible explanation could be game damage calculation. Instead of new algorithm, divide existing by 2 and shown result is actually amount of damage that you get xp for like done by your weaponry. ... or it`s a bug.

Kill indicator is buggy, at least in co op. On test server, friendly Zao (bot) torped me right when i was about to finish Des Moines, and indicator showed that i was killed by Des Moines with torps (???) ... Also had similar situation with torps dropped on island still able to kill me ... btw first torps looked like too close manual drop.

In that case you have choice to believe is he an as****e who abandoned ship or he had technical problem and you choose first one? I`ll give you an example (personal experience) ... got disconnected approaching cap in dd, reload game to see that I`m already sinking and other players yapping about me being coward ... great. Have rock solid net with no such problems on NA servers only on EU ... aaaaand I live in EU.

Yes you can to some extent. On start, if guns are in cruise position, player is not on server - not AFK. On start, if guns are moving, he may be "slow starter" so wait for few minutes if ship starts moving. - not worth reporting In game, if ship stops, he may be disconnected - not worth reporting Why to be so light on report trigger? Report someone who really deserved to be reported.

Why report someone for technical problem? IMHO AFK report have different purpose so I`m using it only if it is blatantly clear that player have no intention to take part other than observe, or if he park ship on map border and go away. btw feeling that you "failed" your team ant thus apologize is an healthy attitude even if it was out of your hands.

With "naked" Mahan ... camo resupply on auto but I deplite all of that type. Pans out that you only have to be stubborn ...

Can`t remember is that my pb but it is funniest. Almost full health Hipper (about 42000hp) with 4 HE hits. About 30 sec later, Minsk with 1 HE. Latter in chat, Hipper guy said it was no detonation while Minsk guy was angry because antidet flag didn`t help. btw, why HE - needed some fires for weekly mission ...

Starts on saturday and ends on monday ...

Well, i don`t have late loader experience at least not to extent to be forced restarting client so, thanks for correction. My worst late loader, from "battle starts" voice (loading screen is still on), to game screen and fully controllable ship, was about 5 seconds so no big deal for me.

AFK or "away from keyboard" means that game is loaded and ready to play but player is not or he just spectating and that behavior deserves report, punishment, whatever ... unlike discoed which is, usually but not always, due to technical problem. Discoed ship can be recognized by guns in "cruise" position unlike AFK where guns (rear) move in side position. Done with nitpicking ... few words about actual problem. Last week right before weekend and during the first part of it (yesterday was fine) i had several discoes, heck on friday i had 2 discoes in a single battle. Funny thing is that i had that kind of issues only on EU servers while on NA not a single hiccup - i`m from EU ...

Of course it is. Here is the proof...

Regarding Mogami, 155 configuration is 5x3 while 203 is 5x2 ... 5 extra shells in the air. On top of that, with 155 you can have 3 salvos in 32 sec, 203 can have only 2. Damage per barrel is on 203 side but total damage is on 155 side. Hmmm, difficult to choose.

Missions ended with "bad taste" happens mostly because they don`t read tasks or, even if they read, they interpret them wrongly. First try and 3 star win in game which was easy 5 star simply because they didn`t read tasks and 2 ships left west fishing instead of helping to sunk second cv and little b*s*a*d sinking service ship with torps. Second try was 5 star win (easy because team was really good) but not with misunderstanding moment - they were so pissed at me when i left extraction zone to help them with last 2 enemy ships calling me an idiot, and cv out of frustration, drop bombs on me. Meaning that they don`t understand what was written as task - "outrun Raptor..." as soon as first team ship enter the extraction zone, task is done so he can go out; main task - only Raptor have to be in, not all ships as they believed ... maybe they figured out things after battle, enjoying 5 stars staring at them, at least i hope so.
