Yes, i hate that when playing DDs. Because i have to turn away as the CV will look around the fighter. But in this case, it was even worse, as the Kronshtadt realized that at popped radar soon after

He is grinding the Z, im grinding the Amalfi. Apart from Amalfi, i had no ship to grind on T8 other than DDs. Since i dont pick another DD when my division mate already chose one, i had limited options. And our 3rd picked a CV, because he likes to play CVs, and we lost games prior to that thanks to idiot CV players who not only cant strike enemies, but also screw your own teammates (popped a fighter in my direction when i was playing DD, to tell the enemy CV "Hello, here is our DD, please attack it" ). Guess i gotta blame WG for that one, when teamplay is actualy counter teamplay... What does that have to do with anything? Even while true, all it does is reduce the base XP pretty much. Also enemies had 2 Hurricane clan players + a 3rd on in their division, which didnt help their team, because quite frankly, they played like crap. So dealing 66k damage in a BB getting first place XP doesnt support the case, that raw damage is not the only deciding factor for XP??? Then how about this one: I can assure you, our Kiev had less damage than i did. And im pretty sure, the Atago had less damage aswell. Went to check, and that guy had 4 games with the Atago in that timespan, with an average damage of 39k... i think im good to go. The difference here is, i had 70k on BBs, which is worth... nothing? Oh wait, but i thought, damage is most important Then play in a division? But you are currently condemning others for only playing division / not playing solo. If you play in a division, you can make all those teamwork options go to work if you choose to do it. There is someone, who can use your smoke, make use of your spotting, can shoot when you radar and pop fighters for you. If random people cant make teamplay work, then you have to use them to basicly make teamwork happen.

Ever since they changed MM, im way less often in T9-10 games than what T8 ships used to be. Even T9 faces T10 less often. But the price is T6-7 being lowtier more often. I dont fancy playing those anymore... And T7 was my favourite tier! Getting too many overpens might just be the Desync problem going on. And >400mm BBs wont bounce that much on higtier Cruisers, unless they are T10. Only the 380mm BBs have it a bit harder. But then again, i dont agree with the general opinion, that small caliber hightier BBs got shafted with the Cruiser plating buff. Sure a little bit, but they sure werent made useless by it. You always want to shoot broadsides, even before the change. More hits + More cits = more damage.

I disagree mostly with people in this topic. First of all, you play to win, because thats the goal of a game. Sure sometimes you wont do spectacular when you do something, which gets you the win instead to farm some damage (which probably gets you less XP btw), but often enough, if you play good and win, you will be a top 3 XP earner in your team. For every ship: Shoot DDs, Shoot DDs, Shoot DDs. That will already give you a lot of XP. Only some DDs, which are outgunned by other DDs have a problem with engaging them, but those often can outspot the other DD. Help your team get rid of them, then go torp something, preferably a Cruiser for more XP. Or get a Cap. Get defended ribbons. Thats all worth something. The more you do, the more XP you get. Playing for the win and getting high XP is not mutual exclusive. Thats not a good game, not even average. Sure it was a faceroll. I got 20% damage on the DD, ~2/3 on Albemarle and ~45% of a Mino. 1400 XP in itself aint that much either, but still first in a game where we didnt lose a single ship. So it was hard to get more out of it. - Play for the win - Make the right calls - Shoot the correct targets = Profit I know you probably wont read that anyway, and i only quote that because i call BS on that one.

Imo, T8 BBs became really strong since T8 gets to be toptier more often.

Only because more potatoes play due to Corona-virus. Its not MM fault that the players suck.

Maybe i should apply to WG

Many people play the new sub gamemode WG: Its a complete success, everyone likes subs, so we can move them to random battles Noone/few play the new sub gamemode WG: Due to low player numbers, we cant balance subs without further testing in random battles.

Other nations ships arent OP - they are fun to play

That only happens when both sides have a faildiv with a T6 CV, because CVs are always mirrored. So it doesnt provide a disadvantage for one team only, but in general, i could live without faildivs. Most people only do it to get some kinda advantage. I mean, you could allow faildivs only from T8-10, since there it doesnt matter anymore.

We have been talking in Discord, and V Dispersion is currently unknown how it works. So i wouldnt trust the picture to be correct. Anyone who has played IJN BBs pretty much knows, thats not how their shells behave.

Riga has a turret bug aswell from what ive heard. Constantly loses turrets to HE according to Flamu Yeah, probably a bug (havent checked the armor values), but since we are just plebs in WGs eyes, what do we know? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No, not really. Since the damage is so dependant on tier and class you are playing, like a hightier DD main could have less avg damage than someone playing midtier BBs all the time. F.e. Gearing all time avg damage 44k, Orion avg 41k. BB&CV mains usually top the charts with avg damage, its not unusual that they can have 100k avg damage and more, if they play TX all the time.

I disagree with that. Having a cap at the start doesnt change much. Ive seen so many throws by the team, which had more caps because "must win harder". Its like, green caps give them some feeling of safety, if you go there, nothing will happen or i dunno why they suddenly rush in. But unless there is no CV and no Radar Cruiser, i dont attempt going for the cap right away. Or atleast know, that the Radar Cruiser is not on my cap. Trying to get a cap, without being able to get it and trade your health for it, is a really bad trade.

That would be interesting to know, but i assume so. Yamato is vastly more accurate for me than thunderer and Kremlin. Granted, i havent played neither of them that much, but Yamato is leaking by a nice margin. Probably the sigma + LM makes more of a difference. But Kremlin is one of my worst TX BBs, this thing doesnt hit at all for me. And no, im not sitting in the back with it lol

Since there are 3 Shimas in the game, one team would have had 2 regardless. At best, both teams could have had 2 Smolensk. You should be glad, your team got a Stalingrad and PR, as they eat Smolensk for breakfast. Not to mention, they also tank for their team while Smolensk doesnt.

Just met @Darkeid in a T8 game. He wasnt really happy with the MM

Sorry, but i have to do this^^

Reroll account. There have been quite a few lately, f.e. from ASIA, there are entire clans with new accounts from there, and many of them have ~1k battles with 65+% WR.

I wouldnt call playing Cruiser much relaxing either. Easiest is BB followed by CV (if you dont give a crap about losing planes).

Well, they could have tweaked the secondary dispersion to be somewhere between german Secondaries and GZ secondaries. But since WG only knows on/off (basicly) they couldnt figure that one out... Its like, they can change 20 different stats, but they always do the wrong ones

And how often does that happen...? Sure it has happened to me over time, but thats so rare, it doesnt bother me. It bothers me, that those players doing it a) think have a god given right to be mid/toptier when doing a faildiv b) if that doesnt work, simply suicide because they dont give a crap. Especially this one is complete BS. If you do it, atleast play properly. So if it happens one time, STOP DOING IT, because then you learned "well crap, the game can screw me over". But people do it PURPOSELY SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW and then complain.

There might have been a chance if they would have gone through with the Ägir secondary approach... which they didnt. So i guess secondary cruisers is a failed concept for WG by now.

I think WG showed T9 Cruiser stats once based upon player "skill". Neptune was last till top 20-15% IIRC, when it basicly overtook all others. I rather wonder, how St Louis is last...

8 games doesnt mean anything. What targets are you focussing? Try to use AP even at longer range broadsides, it does hurt. Almost 2k pen damage is no joke.
