2 otherwise nice games, but first game, one of our DDs was so annyoing, he just kept insulting me all match long. And obviously the MM in the T7 game...

Great little story about your pos teammates Me in a GK, and a Fletcher (who even didnt more for a good minute at the start of the game). Went towards C on Loop together with some other ships. Our Fletcher went to B and capped it. Meanwhile, the enemy Benham smoked up their Mino and DM, so we were permaspotted and got farmed. Luckily, they couldnt aim, so i had like 1,4 million potential after 5 mins without receiving too much damage. Just tried to get some shots in on the Cruisers and stuff, but nothing good ofc when you have to shoot 15+km. Then our Conq mindlessly rushed into C, so our Fletcher started to open his mouth why we are sitting in the back. Ofc he was still camping in B, still not spotting. Or excuse me, he spotted the DM/Mino for 10 secs, than ran away again. Conqueror died in less than a minute. Enemies went towards B, so decided also, now i can move closer to B and get into the flank. All the time getting flamed by our Fletcher, that i play for myself and what not. Then i told him, while i was in C already, that he should come over and spot the Benham for me. Answer "I dont spot for Egocentric player"... which makes him one himself actually? So in the end, i had to dodge 56 ! Benham torps, because that runs his mouth all the time, NOT playing for his team. Extra bonus, i got more XP than him That triggered him even more

WG will probably do both: Nerf Daring while buffing all others... just look at the Cruisers, when they nerfed Hindenburg but buffed the direct competition called HIV and Zao. Then Buff Hindi again... and again.... instead of reversing the initial nerf As for YY: Id rather not have a ship with Smoke and Radar, would make it probably too strong in CBs.

Just wondering if anyone else noticed this, or is there a different kind of problem at my end? I think it happened with the patch before the previous one: The shells dont visibly exist the turrets, but suddenly materialize into the air ~0,5-1km away from the ship. All in all, doesnt really matter in normal combat, however, if a ship is smoked up, and the shells appear randomly on the map, you cant pinpoint the location of the concealed ship. Ive had a GK game 2 days ago, where i got shot at by a Bayard and Edin sitting in smoke. When i tried to track them down, the shells started being visible OUTSIDE of their smokescreen. Looking at the minimap and last known location, no way that they could be standing there. Blindfiring literally impossible, tried it 2 times i dont think i got any hit at all. Also yesterday, i did a drive-by on another BB, and my division mate told me, he didnt actually see my guns fire. Its also not something you would pay attention normally, at first i only realized it when i was spectating other ships and the shells just plopped out in thin air. Bug? Secret change to (once again) remove skill from the game (cant have people being able to blindfire into smokes i guess)? Your thoughts / experiences?

Guess i missed that one

I rather wonder what kinda sick crap this one here is? Salem nerfed into oblivion ?!!? 182k base credits, which is worse than a silver TX... (got >200k one match later with my GK, dealing a little bit more damage).

Oh yeah, definetely happens outside of smoke aswell. Just thinking if its a Bug, or intentional If its intentional, then its to make smoked up ships safe against shooting/CV attacks @MrConway @Crysantos You guys know/noticed anything like that?

Oh yeah CVs... good point. Its easier to spot from a top down view like CVs, Spectating of Spotter plane (thats when i realized it in my GK). Guess its a sekret CV nerf, other ships were just collateral. Cant have CVs attack ships in smoke, because pressing P or not shooting for 3 seconds is too much to ask. In before "Many people dont use this option, so we will not fix it"

Hmm interesting... alltho i have to say, im not sure if it happens in every game. On the other hand, i dont feel like i would pay attention to that either every game. But if it happens, it seems to be the entire game. Maybe depends on the map? I can be sure it happened on Two Brothers, Land of Fire and Trap. Maybe i try to do some testing in the training room.

No more BB AP pens? Also id like to add, smoke firing penalty favors DDs much more than it hurts them, as they can spot ships inside smoke (or even while sitting in smoke themselves) Imo you have torps for that.

NTC goes live next patch? And wows anniversary starts early~mid september right? Guess one could wait till then. On a personal note, im not sure if i reset anything. Maybe german Cruisers as im not playing them anymore...

Imo its very easy to citadel. Much like Yamato/Musashi if they show too much side. Have had some very nice salvos on broadsiding conqs, best was almost 50k @ 18km with my Musashi Im not sure, if a well played Conq is maybe too hard to kill... havent seen one yet

Yes, but its in the limitation of the MM. Maximum 1 division difference per team. Enemy side has 3 divs, your team had 2 divisions. Whether they have 2 or 3 players per div is irrelevant for the MM afaik. All of the T9 BBs were in a division, so the MM didnt have much options there. Your side could have gotten the enemy B division but.... The -TWI- guys are <48% players, so it should be beneficial that they were on the other side. And CG is a good clan.

I had the pleasure....

Ah ok, i thought you meant, you couldnt influence your own WR and it depends on the teams you get But i agree: You shouldnt get hung up on games where you did awesome but lost... happens to everyone, and as i explained, its even perfectly normal why it is like that.

Please dont spread stuff like this - it doesnt make any sense. For an individual game: Yes, this is very likely to be true. If you play thousands of games, you have had both lucky and unlucky teams equally, thats why you will both win and lose ~3/10 matches always. If WR is independant of your own performance, you might aswell make a few accounts and be AFK every battle. You should get one with 70% WR after several hundred games... wishful thinking Having great games while losing are irrelevant. How often did you do poorly and still win? Probably as often. Great games end often in defeats, because your team was so bad that they let you deal all the damage. If they would have been more capable, you would have gotten less damage, but won more likely. However if the rest of your team is so bad, that they just die faster than you can deal damage to the enemies, naturally you will lose. The problem is, if we do well, we feel, that we should get rewarded for it. In a 12vs12 game this doesnt really work that well, even more so since we dont respawn after dieing. The faster you stop blaming your teams, the faster you can get beyond a 50% WR. Upload replays, ask for help here. You have room for improvement, better start there than to hope that your teammates will do it for you.

Because those unfavourable matches balance out over a large amount of battles played. Sure you get those games where all your DDs die. And some other games, the enemy DDs will suicide. Those games dont mean anything. Some you will always lose, some you will always win. But then you have games, where your contribution does matter. And if you cant produce in those games, you will lose more often ofc. You never know in advance, which games you will win or lose. If you can constantly play on a good level, you will turn the games more often tho. You seem to have problems with playing BBs, as you have the worst WR in them. If you want advice how to get better, you have to upload some replays here so some people can have a look at them and tell you, what you should be doing differently.

That would only work, if people would accnowledge that T7 has it atleast as hard in T9 MM as T8 vs T10. Most people ignore that when they talk about T8s in T10 MM.

Was actually a rather good day today. Musashi game after the Alaska And Kutuzov wasnt bad either. Not that much damage, but nice XP, and was fun. Would have been better if i had Hydro instead of DefAA so i could have dodged the torp... i was thinking before which i should take, and i went with DefAA Last game with GK was mostly tanking damage. I had a Missouri and Musashi full HP behind me, and when i wanted them to take over, they started to push me ahead Isnt that nice of your teammates? Full HP, but let the half dead ship tank some more 2 million potential with mostly HE spam. A couple of salvos from Yamato and NC, but thats it. Atleast got me Dreadnought and Fireproof

No, no infos currently out there... guess they first have to decide, which will get a good one, and which a bad one. I bet russians will get something awesome

Doesnt matter why you can perform. Simple fact, a lot of players arent very good at this game, so you have the opportunity to also perform with T8 ships in T10 games. All very recently, the 2nd Kutuzov i played just now. Sure not every game is awesome, but neither is every game in a T10 ship awesome. Look for opportunities. Got tons of damage on DDs when they didnt expect me. Even used only 1 smoke, and even that was useless before someone starts whining "its a Kutuzov".

Alaska Toptier - Noice

T6 facing T8 is more unfair than a T8 facing a T10 ship... T6/7 DDs dont have concealment modules compared to T8/9 so they have huge disadvantage in spotting T6/7 BBs cant overmatch T8/9 BBs, but can be overmatched in return - often everywhere. Cruisers are often in a bad spot regardless which tier their at when being bottomtier -2. But T9 BCs can lolpen some T7 Cruisers. The goal cant be to shaft midtiers into oblivision, so people can spam T8 ships all day long because reason. What some T8 ships can do when toptier is unholy. Lately ive had some toptier games in Balti and Massa... you just violate them. Get the right BBs, and you can just sit there in Baltimore and snack them slowly while they shatter on your armor

Do you think this might be yet another BBaby buff?
