Nope the noticing that particular match while ignoring the 10 that had 0 cvs in them is though

IDK I mostly "tank" passively (ie dont even think about it and what they fire at me they fire) sometimes I will say present a bait (ie broadside a bit) to draw fire from a high value target such as a low hp cruiser or a dd, and you know what it actally often works out, ofc you cant stay like that for long but say turning while spoted instead of dark and allowing them to damage you a bit can make it possible for the ally to go dark or behind cover, many times dds i pulled from the pan like that actually capped later on and won us the game in the end

Aside from the rest of your case which is understandable confirmation bias (we have all been there so i get it) but this is just untrue m8, overlaping auras do not absolutely stop a strike and that is very different from beeing not effective, going through a bubble like that will cost the cv basically an entire wing, such loss will hamper him severly for a good while and on some cvs even for the duration of the match so its hardly nothing

In AA departement yes, in damage departemement Atlanta is still as good as ever

Well I guess all AP bombs overpen by default?

Byska isnt a bad ship at all, she is just a living dinosaur, a remnant from another time when she was a true power in dd world, she can still do ok damage just not the way she used to and in meantime other ships overshadowed her...

IDK prob some small value is added couse otherwise they wouldnt bother counting it but really minimal

Slow dd + smolensk = balans

Occasinally, but really not that often m8... We never seem to be short of bbs though, cant remember when i last had less then 5 in team...

Exactly this is what happened

Its worthless xp/cash wise simple as that, want high base xp (xp and money) do lots if damage to dds and ships that are higher tier

Well I finally managed to get a chatban due to some ranked battles over the weekend, dont regret it at all, small price to pay to explain my opinion of their playstyle...

Ah ok I get that, well I dont have much issue with flak unless 3-4+ ships are in range to dakka but I guess in that case thats poor target selection on my part anyhow...

Too bad, they would be much more useful as teamates then about 2/3 of the playerbase...

Could be fun, we can ask Flambass, spreadsheet sais he had fun when I dumped bombs on his from the Implacable so maybe he agrees to stream...

Wow wow wait - what? You mean you are immune against flak during attack run when the sights are green? Couse at the beginning you sure as hell are not immune

Looks at the 0 number, laughs in Hakuryu

Oh pls get off your high horse, like the Smolensk is the only ship on the enemy team so you can tailor your tactic to it and its weaknesses, I happen to run max fire prevention on nearly all BBs i play FYI and guess what that POS ship is still annoying AF, I didnt say I dont know how to counter it I say its annoying AF which it is and yes other HE spammers can be nasty as well, which is actually something I used as an argument on this same forum when people called out for smolensk nerfs but in all honesty this ship is broken, and its not broken for its smoke, its broken becouse it can have 10% fire chance on the shells that stream out from it like pi** and hit stuff easy at 15+ km ergo they can start a fire on you inside 10s guaranteed and likely 2 fires and it overtaxes the DCP (not even kreml can reset the DCP fast enough not to take significant damage not to mention you have limited charges) the only way of dealing with that thing is to either rush it (which again isnt always an option couse you know its not the only ship on the enemy team) or run away, and that is not good when one ship changes meta like that and dictates how the play will unfold around it its overpowered, just so you know (you can look it up in my old posts) this Smolensk thing folded out EXACTLY like I expected it will...

Not in T4-5 it wasnt... Besides between drops you had plenty time to sip

Nope you need teo hands for the cvs now, RTS was better in that regard...

The funniest thing is that Stalingrad itself is somewhat powercrept already by the IFHE spammers added of late and only the fact its still somewhat rare in genpop prevents its gen stats from sliding to the proverbial pit... I dont play it much in randoms but still somewhat in cw and its just ridiculous what a smal can do to you... At the beginning of the cw season m8s couldnt belive when i melted a kreml 1on1 with it but there is just no way to mitigate that much fire you have to kill the pest or it will burn you to death

Well on the one side competitve mods dont neccesserily need to be fun as they are well competitive, on the other side however here you dont compete agianst other team for win what you compete at against 15 other players is farming damage and staying alive longer to farm more damage...

Well folks reported some glitches in parts of services (armory etc) so prob part of larger issue...

Well at least I can have the satisfaction of have predicted it, when Colbert and Smolensk were to be aded it was clear what would happen, they should have put Small in RC for say 65000 RP and Colbert for coal in the armory then they would be wery rare and much less of an issue...

Becouse at the time you were supposed to finish that collection (and most of us did) that ship was awailable for free?
