I assume you are talking about the Epic drops? I got PEF, long time ago. But i already had it, so @Admiral_Noif yes, you can get them even if you have them already. But you only get credits as compensation

Fun mode- but why is teamkilling on in the Event?
DFens_666 replied to FizzlePopBerryTwist's topic in General Discussion
That would be the sensible thing to do ofc... but apparently WG thinks its good to cause more toxicity -
Should I, or should I not, buy the Massachusetts?

Well, its your choice to ignore facts, but dont be surprised when people tell you its not what is actually happening. -
High XP earner plays for the team/win? NO!
DFens_666 replied to DFens_666's topic in General Discussion
Well i did consider closing the distance towards the islands, but its >99% chance that it would have just caused an ever faster loss. - Basicly the entire enemy team was going that way - Alaska is a strong brawler which you can hardly citadel, he could have just tried to Ram me aswell. Mainz, Hipper and Gneisenau - all equiped with torps, all (almost) immune to being citadelled closerange. - My 2 BBs made no attempt to help at all. When they always shoot from maxrange, you cant expect enough firepower to kill those ships before they Ram or torp me. Also they shot HE so... no chance for them to deliver crippling blows to ships showing broadside to them. - Going towards the island could have resulted in me getting rushed from both sides. Other ship compositions and more active BBs, yes there was a chance to take a stand. -
DDs Gameplay and no teamwork these days
DFens_666 replied to OsamaBinLantirn's topic in General Discussion
The thing about Cruisers cant add up tho. If Cruisers always camp behind BBs, how can they radar you in the cap? Unless the BBs would actually sit next to the cap aswell Now you know why they cant just rush forward to radar the cap. Im not saying you are entirely wrong, but you lack perspective. You have focused a lot on DD gameplay, while neglicting the other 2 classes. The only radar Cruiser you have played is Baltimore, and you are outperforming it with your DDs. With BBs you jumpstarted right to T8+9, one of them which is definetely on the stronger/easier side (Massa) thanks to its fast reloading repair party. You need to play other classes and ships to understand what they can and cant do. If you constantly get flamed while playing DD, you need to start reflecting if others are maybe right. They are not always right ofc, but they are not always wrong either. -
Yup... also we have to consider, that free premiums most likely keep the players interested in the grind. I think its a lot of work for a bad T5 premium BB. However, most people wont bother to do the research in the first place, they grind the ship, maybe play it a few times and let it be once they realize its not that great. By that time, WG is already giving us the next free Premium(s): Strasbourg, Tachibana and Yahagi for the new years event. So at best, those medicore free premiums are there to fill the gap between bigger events.

Couple of issues i want to point out: Roughly 1/3 of your games have been in divisions. Obviously, you didnt filter them out. And there are 2 problems with that: 1. if the players have your skill level, naturally you fill more places with yellow players than with green or purple ones. So you already stacking it against you. 2. Playing in a division can cause a Unicum division to be put on the enemy team. Quite often ive seen people complain about rigged MM using MMM, when they are in a division with average players. In the enemy team, there is a superunicum division... well, they themselves put them there in the first place. If you play solo, you dont affect Divisions, so you can get the unicum div on your own team. The other issue is, by which metric does MMM show a green or purple player? I think there are different settings, could be overall WR or ship WR or PR? Ship WR is especially bad, as it could mark someone red who has like 2 battles played and lost them both, which doesnt indicate anything about his skill. I think its better not to use MMM, as it usually ends in a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I think there are more HP perk BBs than DDs... but only because Shima makes up for like 50% of the DDs And 80% of them have no SE, or 99% if they are on my team

DFens_666 replied to DFens_666's topic in General Discussion
There seem to be a growing number of people who think otherwise, thus i created this thread. Its mostly to have something to show the next time someone comes around "Best XP earners played for the win" or "best XP earners are good players". -
Should I, or should I not, buy the Massachusetts?
DFens_666 replied to Purnylla's topic in General Discussion
Id say its mostly subjective feeling that that they are less tanky, here your stats for german and US BBs, then surviability and avg tanked damage As comparision my own stats: Monty and GK basicly equal for me, alltho i survive more often with GK. For you, Monty is a bid behind but you survive more often with Monty. Pommern/FDG are ahead of Missouri and Iowa with basicly equal survivability. Same for you, alltho your FDG survivability is behind the US BBs, Georgia is fairly close to FDG tho. Massa and Bismarck are fairly even for me, NC is behind quite a bit (but i had some really weird NC games). Bismarck leads on your side, but your survivability with massa and NC is much higher. You tanked more with Colorado than Gneisenau, with similar survivability. Didnt take my Colorado, as i only played it once. I dont see a big difference overall, atleast not a noticeable one. With a low survivability, you can assume that you are leaning more towards the maximum you can tank (obviously because you are dead), while a high survavability could leave room for more tanking, alltho we cant know how much. Atleast for myself, when i die with Massa i often have healed the maximum amount possible. -
Well id say, the premium T5 ships i mentioned are also worse than their techtree counterparts. In the end, WG does the balancing with the ships, so even if Oklahama is supposed to be better than NY, WG can just disregard that. Im not saying that you are right or wrong, but its unlikely that WG intended it to be good to begin with. I saw that you play mostly coop. While i do find Mikoyan hilariously fun there too, ships are generally balanced for random battles. And those ships are kinda on the lower end of the scale, which might not matter for Coop ofc. I can see tho, why Oklahoma is a bad ship there, with being slow and bad reload. Well, i wouldnt put my hopes up that WG is gonna buff it.

Well, your toptier ships sucked the most apparently (appart from yourself). Enemy toptier ships take the top 3 spots. Most of the times, thats why games steamroll out of control, because one side has toptier ships that do absolutely nothing. F.e. yesterday had 2 Neptunes just get blapped out of existance, and our Izumo camped behing our CV on J-line. 3 useless toptier ships, and we lost. Could have won that one, if atleast the Izumo would have had some interest in playing the game... Dont wanna say, that lowtier ships have a freepass at sucking, but more often its hightier ships not doing their job (thats why TX is such a mess)
-
Those T5 premiums we get for free are often just bad Siroco, Hill, Genova, Mikoyan... They arent intended to be good, just a "have a free ship once in a while, which you probably wont play" The only redemption i can see for Oklahoma are the secondaries... which you probably wont use because its so slow. But you can bring them to 8km with pretty decent dispersion. The dispersion is better than Massas secondaries, alltho Massa gets ofc a greater benefit from manual sec. But this might be irrelevant when WG reworks the captain skills. Still doesnt change the fact, that getting into secondary range would be kinda tricky, as you are the slowest ship on the battlefield, and as you said, the torp protection is on the lower end, which is not good for brawling either. So the concept is questionable at best.

After couple of those games, at some point you gotta let it go I wanted to go ham even before it, but then i went back and tried to get them to help me. The only reaction from the KGV was "...", whatever thats supposed to me. Apparently "yes, i die in 1 sec" which he then went to prove by dying flat broadside. Those people should play Coop only, there is no difference. They dont understand anything, they just play cruiseship simulator. I bet if WG secretly re-route them into Coop games, they wouldnt realize it. Maybe they would be happy by winning >90% all of a sudden Yeah, i kinda expect a chatban. Alltho i didnt get reported, so maybe not. But lately WG has handed out more chatbans, longlasting ones. I know a few which are banned this entire month They cant even use their own clanchat lol... -
Can i return Thunderer and Kremlin? They are broken

T10 is crap even if they wouldnt sell them for money. T10 already became crap the moment they started with any form of premium/freemium. Not to mention those TX mains, who have Yamato/shima/GK, who do nothing else than play those ships day in and out with 40% WR. Best tiers have been T8-9 since they reworked MM, T9 even slightly more since it gets to enjoy CV free games occasionally. T6-7 stink. Lowtiers stink because of CVs.

Research Bureau Seasons... when are they?
DFens_666 replied to RevelAndQuaff's topic in General Discussion
Why not check in game? It has the accurate date. Wiki is not published by WG, thats why it said "estimate" for season 5 and 6. Its players who roughly guess how long it will take, only WG will know the exact date. Sorry to say, but i doubt you have any chance for any compensation from WGs side. -
Where has the "Rewards" tab gone from the Port screen, has it been removed or is it a bug?

yes still works for campaigns, just checked. -

How to layer up your x2 Research for the Bureau
DFens_666 replied to J0LLY0LDCHAP's topic in General Discussion
- Reset line - FreeXP to TX - Reset again = stacked bonus Because you lose credits. If you keep resetting it, you only have to buy them once, when you want to collect all RB points. -
I wouldnt be surprised if WG would make a german BB split. They already made up enough BBs by now with different caliber guns, that they could fill up 2 branches from T7 upwards. One with smaller and more, the other with bigger and less guns. Something like Odin -> Pommern -> GK Bismarck -> FDG -> new big gun BB I wouldnt want more overmatch BBs, alltho i think it doesnt matter anymore at this point. They are so widespread, so you constantly have enough BBs around being capable of overmatching Cruisers. And some others spam HE anyway, which also doesnt matter.

Funny and sad game situations shown with map screenshots.
DFens_666 replied to albinbino's topic in General Discussion
3 Stooges in the octagon in Key battle mode They coordinated getting into a division at the start of the game (in chat ofc, because using voicecomms too hard i guess). Then they tried to hunt other players down... which ofc they didnt succeed in. They didnt fight each other, and gladly waited to die on their own when the safe-zone was gone. Naturally, the BB won because it had more HP -

Overall, the BCs are much tankier than normal Cruisers, maybe Nevsky is the only exception for CLs, and Azuma/Yoshino are a bit less tanky than the others. Saying Stalingrad is not tanky because it can get deleted broadside doesnt make for a good arguement. That some ships like Henri can overmatch certain CLs is a seperate issue, and i would welcome it if WG would buff their plating to 19mm. Getting overmatched by MBRB Henri is just silly... Atleast the RN CAs have less DPM than a Stalingrad f.e. I think WG could implement a BC class, atleast with a softcap of 1 difference (so 1vs2 BC is ok, but 0vs2 is not). Could remove/lower that cap with a 1 minute waiting time. -
Had one too with a bit more than 100 games... also he was in a Typhoon Clan!? But he is not in that clan anymore lol I thought i could find him there, because his nick was like Darthvader34298292 and i dont see the exact name so, cant find him.

I think the new season started today already? If you would have resetted one yesterday and one today, you would have gotten 2x20k points. You can still check in game tho, it says when the next bonus will start. I think it was today..
