Accurate but slow shells - no wonder the playerbase cant use that ship properly If you aim badly, you wont get proper hits in, and aiming properly is made harder because shells are so slow. NC probably best T8 silver BB, maybe on par with Vladi. Havent played the latter in Randoms tho, only CBs, so dont want to comment on that one.

Well, WG should just ban both accounts if something like this happens

You misspelled "more money"

Just to show the impact the MM change had on me: 19% of my games ive played with T7 ships. Last year ive played 18,4% with T7 ships, so almost my normal amount. This year its 2,85%... And if it wasnt for divmates picking a T7 ship, it would have been even less. Comparision my T9 games are at an all time high with 25% this year, while my overall games are only 14% T9. When i play T7, i expect T9 all the time... While playing T9, you cant really lose. Doesnt matter if you see T10 - thats to be expected. But you get T7-8 all the time, which feels MUCH better. I guess at this point, unless they can cash in on it, they wont change anything. And if they find a way to make more money, i can only see MM getting worse than before

@Migantium_Mashum said, he marks targets with F3 so his team shoots them. Apparently, that means something else than "shoot that Cruiser"?

I think it got worse after all the "T8 is always lowtier"-whining. Sure, T8 is a bit less often lowtier, but T9 is toptier much more often, and T7 is lowtier all the time. Same for T6. So 2 tiers got thrown under the bus, only to make it slightly better for 1 tier, and vastly better for another, which was supposedly not the intention... and i dont even believe that. Having all midtiers+T8 being unattractive to play is a good way for WG to encourage people spending money.

Im pretty sure its by design, that earning XP is easier these days. If you can progress faster than you can earn credits, you are kinda being forced to spent money to get credits, be it premium acc, premium ships or outright credits.

They also have only 20k HP, give or take a few k depending on tier. Lets say, you get ~1300 damage in on him with one hit, thats pretty much the equivalent of dealing ~7-8k on an enemy BB, which has 100k HP. And thats not factoring in the heal from the BB, which most DDs dont have. So if you deal 8k, he can heal 4k from that back. So basicly you would need to deal atleast 14k to an enemy BB, to have the same impact as hitting one shell on a DD. Which one is more likely? Hitting one shell on a DD at almost any range, or hitting a BB for 14k at >20km? Ignoring some outliers, like Yamato overmatch or Conq shooting HE (the latter would also deal more damage on a DD with a hit, since he has HE loaded). BBs that dont want to shoot DDs are just hiding their incompetence behind excuses. That cant hit that DD, because they dont bother to learn to aim properly, so they rather not shoot at all. Then whine at their Cruisers for not hunting DDs when they get devstruck by said DD. Then just shoot the Cruiser - period. More often its worth prioritizing the Cruiser than a BB. And a Cruiser sitting at 20km kiting wont radar your DDs. Or is it too much to ask to know, radar has a maxrange of 12km aswell?

The system is indeed not the problem - the playerbase is, or ultimatively WG is, since they allow anyone without experience to play T9-10 with whaling (more or less). If you would move all those players down to midtiers, who have no business in hightiers, game would be pretty nice. You have less but better players in hightiers and more players in midtiers, who are atleast more capable than if they would play their Yamato. And you might aswell just ban people, who refuse to play when they are lowtier, who constantly go AFK and all that other crap they pull.

Hmm... no?

Because people would only play CVs, when they are blatantly OP even when you are noob? Imagine making your own game toxic, so one class gets a few more % players

Yep... i had high hopes, that they would change Hindi LM. Then i saw their reasoning how to balance LMs But doesnt strike me as odd for one moment, seeing how this playerbase is terrified of fires/floods.

Well, since they didnt really change anything last time they reworked them, except for making good ones more useless, and not making useless ones more useful, i have my doubts about them being any more useful in the future. You can thank our abysmal playerbase, who uses everything regardless of how bad it is, to keep the numbers up I basicly stopped caring for LMs entirely after they reworked them.

That is mutual exclusive. So my WR wont drop, but then my WR will drop? Which one is it. Also you forgot divisions f.e. with players from group 3 and 5.

Well ive played Balti and Reloadmod Buffalo, which both have same range, so i guess i got used to the 15,6km

I assume Grind + paying. Either on its own wont happen imo.

Report all-button when?

Stop insulting people in port?

I think i replied to someone saying, that "a guy from reddit" was sailing around looking at the water, legitimizing this action. Which it isnt. But since you wanna hear it apparently: You reversing into the harbour with Graf Spee can also be seen as passivity/inactive gameplay. You can do the same things in traning room, without interfering with others, who wanna play the game

Angling is less important so to say, as its mostly about overmatch. Best angle wont help if you can get overmatched as long as the BB shell hits you anywhere. Probably the easier things to remember are: - German/US CA T8-10 Cruisers with 27mm bow, which can bowtank </=381mm shells, f.e. Bismarck, Alsace, Roma... - Petro/Stalin/Moskva which can practically bowtank any BB, alltho there is still part of the upper bow which can get overmatched by basicly all BBs. Then TX CAs with 30mm midsection can bounce up to 420mm BB shells when properly angled. Its probably easier to take babysteps, and look at the Cruiser(s) you wanna play now, look at the armor, and then check which BBs cannot overmatch your armor. The rule is Armor*14,3 > caliber, then you can bounce. Ive looked at your recently played Cruisers: - Fiji cant even bounce 203mm Cruiser AP. - Moskva see above. You are good to go Bow in, but Moskva has 50mm midsection, so if you are angled, you will also bounce on the sides. - Hawkins, probably the tankiest T5 Cruiser, you can basicly be bow in and be pretty safe. - Exeter, dont recall that one, never bothered to play it. I dont think it has any decent armor tho. - Nevsky, gets overmatched at upper bow/stern/upper belt by basicly all BBs (25mm), deck can bounce up to 430mm (30mm deck), but i wouldnt count too much on it doing anything, since shells can still hit bow/stern and overmatch you there.

Coop ?
