    Stuck on Island on Shard map

    Seems like it's working as intended here, and like cosmo said with more time you could've escaped.

    Elimination thread number Two: Tier V

    Bogue (1/1/0): 16 Bogue (0/1/2): 11 Omaha: 20 Nicholas: 15 Zuiho (1/1/2): 14 Zuiho (1/2/1): 21 Kongo: 27 Furutaka: 16 - 3 = 13 Minekaze/Kamikaze/Fujin: 34 Gnevny: 8 Gremy: 24 Kirov: 5 Murmansk: 23 König: 26 + 1 Königsberg: 26 Fureutake is an obvious choice for a downvote König, is a btter BB than Kongo, so it has to go up further

    I can only say that when I'm on a losing streak, which seems to happen just as easily as a winning streak, I start to play worse. You fall into the trap of trying to quickly make up lost ground and that just isn't the mindset that you need when you want to play good. It's the same with all online games really. If you have a couple of bad rounds in BF you also think "well let's just rush that objective and take half their team out" and fail miserably. Anyone even taking their own frustration and failing into account, or is everyone just blaming "potatoes" ad infinitum.

    Sound "improvements" and player sound setups

    walter3kurtz replied to shockinhockin's topic in General Discussion

    I think the changes are ridiculously bad, the voice over, the chatter, the ambient water and wind noises. It's like they put it together in an afternoon with no effort. Using quality Sennheiser headset.

    Upcoming Captain Skill Changes (Leak)

    walter3kurtz replied to ThePurpleSmurf's topic in General Discussion

    Yes but when the enemy see the cap get red, they already know there's a DD there. So the enemy DD can push into the cap as they often do (I don't have Kagero but I read it has 6.8km detection so you won't be hiding for long) or a CA with radar. Or airplanes etc.

    Upcoming Captain Skill Changes (Leak)

    walter3kurtz replied to ThePurpleSmurf's topic in General Discussion

    At first I thought keen intuition could be a nice buff for my IJN DD, because I hate running into another IJN DD. But I guess it works both ways and it ruins your stealth in most situation. However probably only in later game stages. Because in t he beginning of the game there will always be a nearest enemy somewhere on the map so that will not really be an issue. The issue is when you are prevented from laying an ambush or disappearing behind cover.

König means king for a reason.

Especially after Clemson with double gun setup that can wreck other destroyers in the blink of an eye. Forget doing that in the Nicholas and be very afraid if you are facing tier 7 competition. König is just a deathmachine. I average over 1.5 kills per game with that thing.

    Battleships ARE balanced at the moment (just)

    walter3kurtz replied to Redcap375's topic in General Discussion

    Cruisers are hard to play, I give you that. But some people really want cruiser to go 1 on 1 with a BB, regardless of the situation. That's just ridiculous. If you want to kill a BB with your cruiser use the appropriate tools. Every other argument made is just very situational like the hydro example that you used. And therefore isn't very strong or convincing.

    Battleships ARE balanced at the moment (just)

    walter3kurtz replied to Redcap375's topic in General Discussion

    Help me understand what is mostly bothering some of you good folks. 1. Do you feel that you should be able to go 1 on 1 with a BB in your cruiser? Use cover / stealth / smoke / torp. 2. Or is it that some BB have a secondary build that can own a DD player? If you're a DD captain and you play the game on the Bismarck's turf you're just not very smart. 3. Or does the problem lie with the AA? Difficult to comment on for me, but it seems like other targets still work and you don't need to attack the most difficult target. Just like you don't do that in other ships. I consider none of the other arguments (BB can deal massive damage with their massive guns and they can survive a lot of punishment) valid, because that is just working as intended.

    The adventures of a Cruiser Captain

    walter3kurtz replied to HMS_Antelope's topic in General Discussion

    You don't have the weight to push in a cruiser, but instead have to let yourself be pushed around. That doesn't mean you can't do high damage and be useful. You have to know where the enemy will be in 5 minutes. You have to stay with as much friendlies as possible. And this is where the problem lies for me. Depending on others is too random. One minute you're sailing into cap, the next your team starts chasing a lonely BB at the edge of the map. Another thing is that people don't use change in speed and WASD nearly enough in cruisers. It's mind boggling how lazy most players are. If you're that lazy just go sit behind an island instead.
  14. walter3kurtz
    This is just patronizing, like other games don't have slightly more difficult things WITHOUT A WARNING!!!11! People that care enough about doing well will soon find out what OP or UP is for them. People who don't care about that will keep playing anyway. Case closed.

    more loot crates per day

    walter3kurtz replied to svadilfari's topic in General Discussion

    It's a bad idea for the game like the poster before me pointed out. And it will be bad for the player also, because the value of the goodies inflates. If you have too many stuff the rewards become meaningless.

    Do we need a "radio silence"-feature on DDs?

    This might be the most one sided poll in internet history

    After rejoining a match because of a crash during the loading screen, I joined the match with missing sound (only the voice warnings and notifications remained, nothing else like sound from firing guns could be heard) and missing textures in the mini map (no land and it looked very transparent). I have no idea how to reproduce this bug - but the crash upon loading a battle has been happening regularly since 0.5.13. It did not happen before 0.5.13 as far as I can remember. I also can't say if it has anything to do with the type of ship or setup. The example above happened in a South Carolina with no flags etc. selected.

    German BB dispersion

    walter3kurtz replied to Dirty_Filthy_Scrublord's topic in General Discussion

    I have noting at that tier, but I think it is just something that you have to accept when playing this game. One time you land a couple citadels at once, most of the time it feels like you are shooting a watergun into the wind.

    Because sailing away from the enemy and hiding behind an island for 5 minutes is more fun and engaging.

    A bracket system based on individuals is not needed and will increase difficulty in matchmaking exponentially the higher you get. A global rating system that matches teams is better. It would match teams with uneven players but overall similar strength. This type of automatic matchmaking is vastly superior to the roll of the dice we have now, where you can end up with all Flamu's on one side and only walter3kurtz's on the other. The good part is that it is available for free, and can be implemented into the game tomorrow, if WG so desires. See http://trueskill.org/ It was used by Microsoft in Halo 3 and other types of (team) games. I've personally seen it in action in 6v6 team games in FAF. http://wiki.faforeve...Trueskill_works Problem solved and the solution is right there for the taking.

    People tend to not talk a lot, or never respond at all. Perhaps they don't speak English or they are just very young or blind. Or old. Probably. Not that I'm complaining, like said before, it's a pub game with randoms. Stop having expectations and accept you will have to be smarter than the opponent AND your own team.

    I've had some epically bad games yesterday, and it was one of those days you keep playing but only make it worse. You have to see the humor of it I think. All these teammates scurrying around like insects with no plan. Not even working together in a camping spot. And then of course you get an idle carrier in a tier 8 match, twice. Fun times.. Some days are just bad. Have you ever played a public team game with randoms that was any different? Quit feeling so bad about losing a few games. Maybe it's time to take a break.
