Well, could be bad luck... Ive had some bad luck with my GK in the first 30~ battles. Then it started to get better. Sometimes you get those "cursed" ships, but usually it ends for me after 20-30 battles. Or you are focusing on the wrong targets maybe? Damage itself doesnt mean much, especially TX BBs have so much health that you can farm them for quite some time. Its not helpful tho. Before CV rework, i liked to play Radar mino, which mostly only got me like 70-80k damage, but my WR was good while playing it. I could take out the DDs, which can influence the game a lot.

Guess it was mostly to remove different class/tiers which sometimes used to happen f.e. one team has 1DD/BB more, the others had 2 CAs in return. Sometimes the DD was +1 tier compared to a Cruiser, and a Cruiser was +1 tier compared to the BB. I always hated that. When they changed that, they also removed that other "feature" where fail-divisioning actually punished you.

That happens when MM gets changed: You used to get f***ed by fail-divisioning since the enemies didnt need to get a same tier ship in return. Nowadays its a calculated risk, as MM can [edited]you up ONLY if there is a similiar division to match against you.

So BBs are 3rd class at influencing at best? Thats why i say, BBs dont have that much influence. Ofc you need them, but BBs need also teammates around them. Whether DDs or CVs have more influence right now... hard to say i guess. I think it depends mostly on the match setup. A good CV can keep a DD at bay.

Because BBs cant spot, they lack a huge aspect of influencing the game. Certainly some are better than others (missouri because Radar and AA f.e.) Most BB players simply lack the ability to influence the game. Whether they are there or not, is almost irrelevant. Only if all BBs sit on one spot it starts to be problematic. CVs and DDs have much more impact on the outcome, so you can get higher WR with them (or worse too). One can hardly suck so hard in a BB to get a very bad WR imo.

Either i dont understand what you mean, but if you cover all BBs in 32mm armor, then it will promote even more bowcamping, as it cant be punished anymore

I dont think playing with secondaries is usefull because the good secondaries are facing aftward, while your MB is facing forward only. Also you are covered in 32mm armor, so i would go with the usual tankbuild. Cruiser HE alpha already will hurt, no need to get cooked with too many fires at the same time (+ less flooding duration aswell)

An Asashio used TRB against my Benson yesterday

Thats the ChungMu which decided to gunboat me... (almost 6k games on account) I mean, the amount of players which are at this level is just too big to explain with some kinda disability. Ive even seen a guy here in forums, who said he has a physical disability and he produced MUCH better results that these guys. On the other hand, ive seen streamers which are perfectly fine but are playing like absolute horse crap. So i go with: Too many people just dont care, are dumb af or simply suck at this game. The one guy i watched a couple of times actually had to pump 10-20€ per day (!) into the game, just to get credits for his maintenance and buy B-hulls and such. Once he got to Yamato, he basicly stopped to play, havent seen him since. But being so bad is a stream of income for WG, as they need to put in money just to play the game. And the good players are just showcasing to those noobs what we are doing with those shiny premiums and whatnot, so they want to have it aswell....

True, but even a good game will usually not give you much more than 500-600 BaseXP, because the rest of your teammates will accomplish atleast something. Using flags for that is... not that great. Ive had really awesome games with 700-800 BaseXP, and i believe, you could go beyond that if you could farm everything by yourself. Maybe you could get 1k BaseXP, and then using flags+camos actually becomes viable. Its not worse what you can get in a decent loss either. Ofc. sadly tho, with only 4 OPs in rotation right now, the only usefull one is Narai. The T6 ones are actually too hard to complete with 4 People (Narai is possible), and the results are bad. Narai with 4 guys gets you awesome baseXP. Probably still better than Coop, but limited to T6+7 atm.

I guess you could farm too much while playing a full Coop div. Since boni are % based, the more base XP you make, the higher your total XP/cptn XP/FreeXP would rise. For me personaly, i wouldnt care for such a thing if there would be a bunch of people who would like to waste each others time (well, technically its not wasted, as the individual reward would be higher by using Camo+flags only when its your turn to farm), but maybe WG sees it differently, as they potentially might earn less money.

Had an enemy ChungMu open water gunboating my GK while reversing WITH engine damage Luckily, he had like 3k HP so my frontturrets send him back to port. Was one of those "must win harder" enemies, as they had like 700 points with 2 vs 0 caps... little did he know that basicly he lost the game. He could have torped my broadside, which would have made me either take the torps, or turn into them for opening broadside against a Musashi and a Yamato. After him i killed their Cleveland and 70k from the Yamato, and we won the game Average players these days

Is that a serious question? BBs are a very limited class on its own. Slow, sluggish and cant spot (almost). And BB is one of the hardest class to actually have influence on the game (imo). Ofc you need BBs, they are the ones which prevent other BBs from doing what they want. The worst roflstomps are games, where all BBs from one side sit on one area and you get flanked both sides. BBs are the easy class for a reason. You cant do much harm if you fail, as you have 4 other BBs as backup. But also means, having a good impact is harder. And you dont die that easily (usually, ofc some people manage to die within 3 mins aswell )

Sounds like my GK game just now They had all caps, and we were sitting in our spawn pretty much. Had a Repu/haru in my right side, Chung Mu, Cleveland, Musashi and Yamato infront of me. First blapped the Harugumo which tried to flee with 4k HP. Then turned frontguns for ChungMu, also blapped (openwater gunboating with 4k HP...). @ForlornSailor cooked the Musashi with his Henri. Cleveland reversed out, ofc only overpens but dead anyway. then Yamato drive-by Game winning push right there. Im kinda baffled why this wasnt a devstrike, i used my frontturret first (other one was broken), then turned a bit to use backturrets, but it wasnt much time in between Last second High Caliber on the A-line camping Conqueror, when Forlorn killed the DD. When everything else is crap, GK saves the day https://wows-numbers.com/de/user/snapshot/ships.ajax?accountId=540423429&date=2019-07-13&type=pvp I mean, look the other games. Pyotr totaly facerole. Game was over before i could reach anything. Z-39 was not possible to do anything: CV + 4 radar cruisers + lowtier only T7s.. ofc CV went right for me, Seattle steamed into the cap with Radar so i had to run away. No chance to torp anything, then i tried to get back into the game but didnt make it anymore, also didnt want to risk it since i was half HP only. And we had 2 AFK ships ontop of that! (both hightier BBs...) Iowa game was not winnable, our C flank bailed at start, we were stuck at A on warriors path. I tried to prevent the collaps by going back, faced Neptune, Minotaur, cleveland and Soyuz. Smacked the Neptune for 40k, Mino for 22k, then i died to the dakka + CV also going for me (i was the furthest target btw) Amagi game no chance either. All hightier BBs sucked total [edited]. Conq+Soyuz camping in spawn, Yamato went at the corner island at A on Tears of the Desert. Enemies just rolled right through. The Conqueror died to a GK rushing him, while dealing no damage in return. I got there when GK had ~38k Hp left, killed it myself in 3 salvos with all damage done myself. (Also the Soyuz was there aswell...) Did i mention they were like 6 km away from the GK and i was 13km away? Total joke really

Imo they could make mechanics, which would force people to move around more, f.e. dispersion buff against ships which are not moving or moving very slowly (maybe from reversing to 1/4 ahead ). Currently, a ship sitting full broadside can be tricky to hit at the citadel, because of WGs stupid auto aim correction. You can try to aim at the waterline, but it will fall short very often (maybe always - not sure). And for torps no RNG spread, because hitting a bow on camping BB with torps is like playing the lottery. Then atleast, people might move around a bit more. Then just increase the dispersion at very long range, so that BBs wont hit reliably anymore. But Slava does ofc the opposite so... gl with that.

Also easier to camp it out You can sit it out, and hope most of the other 9 kill each other, then grab the rest for a win. MUCH easier than trying to kill everything yourself... ive seen multiple times 3 guys camping their spawn/buffs, and getting the win because its too hard to kill them if you are half dead.

You can go back to ~febuary on my posts where i said: Meta has to be stopped RIGHT AWAY, because noobs will grow a custom to blob-meta, as it makes them feel safer than being alone. Too late i guess... maybe DDs can break that blobmeta, but i think they would need more torps for that (Benham maybe ?) and ofc the noob DDs die within the first 4 minutes anyway so...

There is still the option to play 3x division as ive adviced you several times before. If your own clan doesnt want to (is not good enough ) try to find other people to play with. Cant be that hard, throughout the years ive played with so many people from different clans. Many of them i actually picked up while playing Operations, so if you like to play those, keep an eye out for decent players and ask to play with them. Even if its only for Operations, its still more enjoyable. If you get a lot of people, you can stop playing randoms Ops and make 4 people runs.

You gain nothing from surviving, unlike getting a kill which equals more XP. If the game is won already, no problem in dieing to take one other out. However if you might still lose, then i wouldnt take the risk.

You basicly gave the reason why they do it. For me it feels like, they want that people have as little knowledge about the game as possible. And still IFHE would need to reduce HE ALPHA damage in order to have a proper balance. It will always suck because fire chance is not measurable in a meaningful way. It just feels like getting screwed always (either you still receive a fire, or you dont get a fire at all, which is annoying game design)

The same way midtier BBs work? As mostly slowloading ships can punish you, you can turn in and out to use all guns. Currently you can just sit bow in unless its Yamasushi opposing you.

Going mental after 3 games... joined a streamer to play with just 4 fun, man those carries But got me +3 Saipan survived with 290 HP when points ticked to 1k Both Balti and Kutuzov wins by running away and hiding. Luckily we had more caps most of the time.

Wooster gets ofc Worcestershire sauce camo

Had @Sugertukas on our team in his Kebab. Were you chatbanned?

Had that too - decided not to do it after 2 pages
