You dont seem to own ARP Yamato? Or any Yamato for that matter...

Yeah, should also tag those guy who claim "YoU OnLy HaVe LuCkY MM". The only player who might have been somewhat decent was the Sinop. And it kinda shows the issue with matching CLs against BCs. Enemies only had Alaska, we had 2 Neptunes. Neptunes played "shoot my citadel here for instagib" and you see how tough it is to kill an Alaska.

Very good point indeed Afterall, this might have been the only way to get more ARP collabs...

Thats like companies try to greenwash their image. Imagine, WG would add extra boni on the Arkansas Beta camo - does it matter? No, not really. If it benefits only a few people, due to different reasons, then it doesnt make a big difference. Or what if they would give everyone, who has a Kronshtadt, a Kronshtadt B? Sounds awesome right? But its the same ship, so while it clearly is only for veterans, it makes no difference to have that ship in port for a 2nd time... Unique ships on EU Server

Its not like, these are the only premium ships available to new players. I think people are more inclined to buy historical (looking) ships than historical ships with added fantasy stuff. In the end, noone could buy non-premium ships, you only got them for free (as far as i know atleast). And i wonder, how many players actually kept playing ARP ships actively after they became premium status. I think the amount is rather small, seeing how rarely i see any ARP ships. Or lets look at 2months data on maplesyrup: Thats overall stats, so atleast 1 game in 2 months More than 10 games in 2 months here: Who cares if they are premium now? Literally only a handful of people are playing them... I played my >500 games when it was not a premium.

Agreed, the combination is just mindblowingly stupid. I have all Myoko clones - why would i buy another one which looks different with another Commander? Oh wait its an Atago right? well i have Takao, played it >500 times, dont need a 2nd one... I have Musashi - another permancamo i dont need, you can buy yourself 200% bonus for 2 months. Aint that great? pay to skip grind. Btw i dont even need extra FreeXP and co anyway... I have Yamato - why would i buy ANOTHER Yamato, which only looks different for 35k dubs? It gets more evident every time: As a longtime player, you are dirt, WG would probably celebrate when we just all GTFO and stop raping newbies, so they can spend more money. If you have played 100 battles, thats where the money is! Time to grab it while its still warm

Let me rephrase: Something NEW 4 free... i already have Kirishima twice

I was hoping that we can get SOMETHING for free... guess i was wrong

Even at 10k alpha, SAP would deal twice the damage italian HE would do (reference Roma 381mm HE deals 5100 alpha). How many Overpens/Pens/Cits do you get with normal BBs? Now imagine, almost all of those could be Pens, dealing more damage than the AP pens you had before. Why do you need AP?

Must be WG accounts showing off ARP Yamato One has 320 battles and 9!!! other TX ships, the 2nd 280 battles also another TX ship. Also they literally play nothing else than T8 or higher, yet their stats are not that bad at all.

Because they are [edited]OP otherwise??? How does it make sense for BBs to Citadel Cruisers with SAP (possible on midtiers) and get MORE damage than with AP? Also its more reliable because you dont get overpens like AP. SAP just needs to be deleted from the game. WG wont ever balance it properly.

If you whaled it completely it was 80k IIRC. edit: no wait, thats a bit too much, maybe 60k... somewhere around 200€

We definetely need facepalm!

Do you even believe that yourself? I mean, why do you keep playing Yamato then? Why not play Kremlin? And why dont you perform much better with Kremlin if its the OP monster everyone says it is?

In reality, BBs and DDs earn exactly the same XP (last weeks stats, T7-10) 2 Months stats they also have exactly the same. Looks pretty balanced to me, when BBs also deal like 80% more raw damage.

Better this way than it gets swept under the carpet because 20 CV players (who dont need to abuse this in the first place) get to enjoy this mechanic. If everyone uses it, might be a chance that WG does something. Or they did it on purpose - can never be sure

Well, i dont think you need to deal that much damage actually. If you get damage on DDs and couple of caps, you are usually already quite high in the XP table. Couple examples from last month

Smaland is popular?

Well, the Hipper does not say anything really. Apart from the past 23 games, you only played 26 total. 3 / 3 you won, and if we remove the last 8, you won 12 out of 19, which is a 63% WR. With that little games, losing a couple of games which naturally impact your WR a lot. And i dont know if a >60% WR with Hipper is something you should demand, when your avg damage/kills are more in line with your 57% WR Thats the top 25% Hipper players vs your stats. Seems quite reasonable, except your avg kills are lacking a bit behind. But i dont think, Hipper or Huanghe are the issue here. Ive calculated your WR for your last 21 days, removing Kansas and Wooster out of the equation: 55,06%. Thats almost what you have on your acc right now. Why do i think those 2 matter? First of all, you have played the most games in those 2 ships. Second, i consider Kansas to be a poor ship for carrying games because its so slow. And 3rd, your Wooster stats are very bad in that timeframe. You can say, you were unlucky with Huanghe - maybe, but you might have been lucky at other places (Jervis, Halland, Shima, Kita). - Being a bit unlucky - Playing badly - Playing new ships / bad ships All this can contribute its own, resulting in a slight drop in WR. If you would have playing HUanghe for 50 games instead of Kansas and Wooster, i doubt you would have 52% last 3 weeks... I just gonna say, ive lost games because people suicided without any need, which could have been won. So you never know, you might ruin it for some others on your team, thus ruining your own WR. Always fight till the end.

He can always accidently find him, because they are playing airplane-simulator and not "attack the enemy ship"

So when i say, i killed a Belfast 1v1 in my Marblehead, that means Belfast is UP and Marblehead is OP? Thats not how it works. Basicly any CV player, good or bad, has a disproportional impact on the other players game. The worst CV player can spot the best DD player and ruin his game, sounds fair? Dont think so...

Your average performance during these 24 battles is also extremely bad. It doesnt help to say "but that one game i did so good and i still lost". If you would have done that in every game, i doubt you would sit at 37% WR. The problem here is inconsistency. My first 11 games in GK. Is it justified? Certainly not. But there are only 2 options: - Look at your own performance to see, if its your fault or not. - Look at what happened to your teammates to see, if it was bad luck. I didnt see anything wrong with how i played, so i just kept pushing through the bad streak. At 30 games i was still between 40-50% (dunno exactly anymore). In the ~70 battles i got >70% WR. You can get bad streaks with consistent good results. But you cant expect to have decent WR with consistent bad results.

Since your damage is very good, i dont think anyone can say properly whats going on. Best to upload a couple of replays to see if there is anything to be changed.

CVs dont count

Salvaging 5 min losses is impossible. 99% your team suicides, and you cant prevent them from doing so, 1% might be you having bad RNG to not kill that broadside Cruiser. But even in that event, you might be looking at only 1 more minute of play time.
