Yet you lost the game? Actually, you had no chance, because if you would have tried to torp the kremlin / block the center, CV would have spotted you for the BB and BB could have blapped you so... Did it help you to dodge the rockets? No, you still lose the game, because the CV prevented you from doing it

hope i dont get banned for that

If you ever shot HE with Orion at a Cruiser, thats basicly exactly what happens: Engine damage, rudder damage, turrets/torptubes break. I always feel dirty doing that. There is basicly no option but to use DCP for the Cruiser, but 30 secs later he gets the next smack in the face and then he is a sitting duck, waiting to slowly wither to death. Imo thats the most horrible gaming experience one can have. Unable to do anything, to a degree even unable to fight back. There is literally no counterplay to that. Getting deleted in one salvo by AP is unlikely by dodging and angling. However if that happens, then it was because too much broadside, and you can learn something from that: Dont show broadside. But against HE? Well, nothing you can do against that. We are lucky, that this really only happens on lowertiers.

Met @CeKyPuTo in a TX game just now, which was close as hell.... (see greatest gaming achievements). Sorry, didnt say anything, we werent entirely sure if you are active in forums, alltho we had seen you name

One of the closest games ever! Basicly we were losing all the time. Our Rep died 3:30 into the game... half of our other flank died by yoloing into enemy spawn, enemies camp harder ofc and understand how to play Camping battle... i mean, standard battle. 30 secs before the end. 20 secs later. I launched RPF torps at the shima out of desperation and didnt expect the Conqueror to die. He had like 20+k 20 secs earlier. But SAP is no joke and he showed broadside. Torpedo damage feels like an utter joke tho... 2x kremlin, 1 was 9k. 1 on Hindenburg not even 10k i mean wtf srsly? I take a torp in a Cruiser, its like 20k always

Yep, ive seen that more than once actually. But more often that eiher team gets 1.

Im at the same point, for some reasons you mentioned aswell + some others. The main reason tho, its not enjoyable due to the abysmal low capabilities of the playerbase. Why play, when the majority of players are basicly not playing at all: Half of them suicides 5 mins into the game, the other half runs away for the entire time. If maps/battles would be endless, some people would be trapped in a game and keep running forever So im just playing CBs right now, i didnt bother with the directives, and for sure didnt bother for the RN captain. CB season is over this week, and guess thats it for me. Future looks even worse than we have now (subs incomming, apparently german CVs, IFHE rework on the doorstep....) so not sure why i would want to come back to "play" this game.

Stop kicking my poor Marblehead in the dirt If it wasnt for Murmansk, i think it would be the best T5 premium Cruiser. Sure its squishy af, but the firepower is insane.

When you talk bad about Marblehead, then the joke ends right there

And when the game ended, his entire team at "A" went like this: " whaaat, why the game ended?! ooh they capped our base, [edited]NOOB TEAM"

Gets kinda interesting, when those players actually talk about how everyone is wrong how to play that map, and going behind A is smart way. No joke, saw a YT of a 40% proclaiming that!

But does it matter if they get more careless since nothing will happen anymore? Im not familiar with WOT, but it might be harder to push someone away in WoWS? And ontop of that, ramming someone out of cover doesnt get you pink anyway (atleast not that fast). Ive seen people push others out of smoke/Island cover because they are speshuul snowflakes, and they dont get a punishment for that either. So while this will never change, it would remove getting torped / citadelled by salty , which would be good imo. I mean, they could ofc remove Friendly fire, but keep the penalty system

Yeah, they changed a lot of stuff over the years. No fires, no floods and no damage from secondaries.

So all Steel ships are TX only? I think that might be a reason...

Found a preview how the T4 queue is gonna look like

How to deal with Smolensk #1 Kill both his Front turrets - he gets as calm as a puppy How to deal with Smolensk #2 When devstriking him is easier than destroying his turrets Both in CBs ofc

That looks like you reported him for cheating - not for teamkilling. Ive reported people, when they did something against the rules (not playing against clanmembers, deliberately avoiding to play), and to me it looks like they did something. Basicly they always said, they will punish them if its correct, but they cant disclose what kinda punishment they receive. Write a PM to MrConway, he will deal with that. But you should be sure about it. Not long ago, i messaged him about a guy having like 2k battles in 3 weeks, thats not humanly possible.

I think he couldnt cut it as a BB main, so he became a CV main

Ive rushed 2x smolensk twice so far, killing both each time. Once with Montana, other with Stalingrad. Without a CV, i would have survived in the Monty, but i survived with Stalingrad. Panicking is often the worst thing you can do against a Smolensk. When you stop and start to reverse, he can easily hit any section to set you on fire everywhere. And you cant escape fast enough.

Are you sure that it works? Imo it shouldnt, as its a sector lock. So if you lock them, they stay on the spot, but if the island gets in the way, it should still shoot the island. Could probably try that even alone in a training room using spotter plane.

No, since you simply cant aim behind the island. It will stay on the island, unless you move it over, which basicly is much further away (you can see the circle jump on the minimap then).

GK is almost immune to Yamato to bow overmatch. The 32mm area is just too small to actually hit it reliably. Also russian bias ships (Moskva/Stalingrad/BBs) have thicker lower bow plating, but the 25/32 mm area is atleast bigger than on GK. Well, it was a bit confusing, since the 3rd option on number 4 is to increase the penetration. Thats why i asked. Im not sure if they would want to do it. Also its counter intuitive. And it would be a straightup nerf to certain Cruiser (US/KM) which currently have 27mm bow and they would get overmatched by 380mm guns if it would be changed. I think, for french BBs this is less of an issue, because they have decent HE, while germans on the other hand, have pretty bad HE. And often less turrets, or in a worse setup than the french ones. And germans have superior secondaries in that case. So a Cruiser locked bow in towards a BB, will still get overmatched through the bow, unless they have thicker bow armor. But that doesnt change, as we already have it in game now. A Hipper can rush a Bismarck bow on, while a CM cant do it now, and it cant do it after the change either. He can however, use his central plating to bounce shells if he is properly angled. A Bow on cruiser will eventually get problems if the BB is getting too close. If the BB is loading HE, it will deal decent damage (also HE can break torp tubes). If you can hit the bow and the citadel behind it, its still better than overmatch pens at the side. Kiting Cruisers are a bit different, but then the BB need to disengange. But then again, we already have those Cruisers like Zao on TX which are a toughnut to crack if they are kiting, even if you shoot them with 406mm guns. Btw i dont think this is a huge change for CLs, as they still have upper belt armor of 25mm, which can get overmatched. DM used to have 27mm upper belt and 30mm deck - doesnt help one bit against 406mm guns. And for heavy Cruisers... yeah, it will make some difference. But i dont think it will be such a huge difference. Maybe the french are getting a bit out of hands, as i think CM is already too strong, and with MM changed, it tends to see T6-7MM more often, which will make the change more prevelant.

You assume for some reason, that Cruiser will suddenly all be angling against you. Thats not the case. Do you constantly shoot angled Cruisers now? I dont think so. They present broadside often enough. And f.e. a Bourgogne in TX only MM (which happens quite often right now) is already fighting many Cruisers with 30mm plating. So while i disagree with the IFHE/Plating change in general, i dont see a reason to give compensation for the changes. Also are you familiar with overmatch mechanics? Its 14,3 for everyone, even if 380mm guns would have highest pen in the game, they would still ricochet against 27mm armor if angled.

Ok, you gotta start reading buddy. Ive NEVER said, the current O-marker is a cheat. Ive said, X-marks the Spot ONLY AVAILABLE IN ASLAINS was a cheat, and would be by CURRENT MOD RULES posted in this forum too. Ive provided all links to this. Go read it up before jumping into a discussion and telling others they are talking BS. btw, you defended someone calling the minimap a cheat - so much for making nonsense discussion about game features in vanilla wows. Never did i state otherwise. But as i also said: Under current rules, x-marks the spot would be a cheat if its in a modpack, as it provides aiming assistance. Its totaly ok that its in the game now.
