457mm guns cant ever overmatch BB plating. Yamato and Musashi are the only ones which can overmatch 32mm. I guess WG want to keep it that way... but we all know what it means if WG says " we will never do it"

Well, first babysteps i guess But learned already something. And i dont intend to keep playing division with a CV in it 6 games 4 of them Haku is pretty brutal Feels like you have limitations right away.

Most players shouldnt be too scared if they arent getting shot at. And most of the time, it works. But not this game. They had their pants full despite me taking heat from 5 ships at the same time But if Izumo and Yamato are scared of 2 woosters parking full broadside... all hope is lost.

Got couple of longrange Citas on Georgias and Soyuz's. But mostly only one at a time, the shells do land in a weird pattern...

Yeah, weirdly they were all pens But not citas @OttoZander also called the Mino lucky when he was spectating

Best game of the day, 6 out of 6 wins. But you get focused like mad. Then again, if i get a win out of it i dont really mind Only last game was really crap. Had Gearing infront, Izumo/Yamato/Alaska next to me so ii thought, no problem, i can tank that and we get it. Little did i know, that they will run away immediately, and let the enemy SE ! Yamato get into A cap Then get called a noob by our Izumo who yoloed in after i died Back to the game: Minotaur was so lucky, not one Cita when he was angled against me

After careful consideration, which got even worse for the last few days, i actually did take it instead of Bourgogne. In the end, i just had a better feeling towards Stalingrad.

Is glorious russian icebreaker bow, nothing to see here

Plays CV... with secondaries (or musashi for that matter)... Ive said too much, i go to gulag now yeah.. i dont understand the reason behind it either. I mean, the base XP in the team tab stays the same, why wont they just take that data, instead from the overview page.

Guess the joke didnt land? (certain person(s) have been saying, that basicly they play for credits...) Sadly no, the XP WG is tracking is with Premium account. And since we even have 2 different values now (50% standard premium / 65% WoWs premium) gets even harder to track. However, does it really matter in the end? I dont think, any class will have more premium account players than other classes (or ships for that matter). But you cant use XP if you look at someones stats to see if he is a good player or not. Can be a noob running prem acc 24/7, can be a good player never using premium acc.

Well duuh, you obviously play for secondary hits ... no wait, that was wrong You obviously play for Credits. Now i got it right The XP which WG is tracking is skewed by Normal/standard premium / WoWs premium. Can be without modifier, can be with 50% or even 65% bonus.

Did you fake it? https://wows-numbers.com/de/user/snapshot/ships.ajax?accountId=507236751&date=2019-06-23_2019-06-22&type=pvp Says no plane kill. So either bug or fake.

Do you have the 3rd page result screen? Would be interestng if you dealt any plane damage

Balance? Seattle and Wooster have tons of other consumables (and AA), they dont need more of them. Also they dont need a spotter to shoot further, same for Alaska. I think that would be imbalanced. If you wanna shoot further, take range mod. If you could take a spotter plane, you could just go with reload mod and have both... kinda.

Id say, 600 can never be enough. I dont even remember my first 1k games really, was just playing a lot back then Im still wondering when i played >500 battles with Takao back then PS.: i like the warn button right below the user avatar LOL

My opinion is, if players would spend more time in low-midtiers, they might get better sooner or later. By playing constantly T10, they just left the tiers where they would learn by playing. If you havent learned the game before, you wont do it at TX either. Lots of good players have expressed their views how to help new players - WG ignores them. The best thing as an individual is, to dont rush to the higher tiers. I dunno how old you are, but i feel games used to be more punishing when i was young. You failed? Suck it up and git gud. Games didnt feel like easy mode, you could fail, multiple times until you get it right. Nowadays it seems like you are getting everything handed to you (not only talking about wows here) Maybe you should open a thread and ask for help? POst some replays, somebody is always willing to give advice. To your questions: 1. I think its mostly about reading the minimap. Check the lineup, which ships are dangerous to you, if they are spotted, where are they going. Am i on the weak flank or not? and so on... 2. Dont make yourself a target, or know how to evade it as good as possible. If you face something with AP bombs, you certainly dont want to sit at an island where the CV can approach from stealth f.e. And if you play BB, ask yourself if taking a Torpedo is so bad when it deals like 4k damage. 3. ye well... experience id say. 4. Turn out in advance. If you are on the weak flank, survive as long as possible. Hope your other side gets the advantage and will eventually help you. If they do, be ready to get cross-shots in. 5. Maybe that toptier "squishy" cruiser isnt actually as squishy as you think Playing BB will also help you with the other classes. You cant force to tank for your team. You cant make the enemy shoot you, unless you present yourself as an even juicier target than something else on your team which is... hard to not get punished for. You can show broadside in a BB (other BBs like to shoot you then) but you have to turn in in time to angle against the shells. And even then it depends on the BB you play, or the BB shooting you. Sure BB needs to be the ship which can make a move in and survive long enough. Can change the game, but you need to take the right moment to do it. And your team needs to cooperate. Gets easier if you have a division profiting from your sacrifice. I have no problems dieing in a BB, when i change the game with it.

I think the problem is (same as what @El2aZeR 's opinion is imo), that the game is too easy to play (maintain) especially on hightiers. You can get by simply by "drooling" over your keyboard by playing a premium ship, earning credits, XP and what not.. You can even see that in forums sometimes, when people complain that they dont get enough credits (even ignoring wins for that) We really dont need those 40% TX players doing nothing but playing TX all day long, because they think its some kinda endgame content. If the economy would be harsher for them, they would get forced back to midtiers and, god forbid, actually learn to play properly.

Ofc you gain more experience the more you play, but with "only" 660 battles played, i can safely say you have very little experience. Id say you need 1000-1500 battles to have the knowledge to actually become a better player, before that there is just too much stuff going on to just learn while playing. I agree, having no tutorials is bad. On the other hand, values like concealment differ so much no tutorial could easily teach them to you. But you dont need to know exact values to have a decent game. But it will help if you play a DD. But when you play BB, it doesnt matter too much what concealment other ships have. You need to work with your own concealment to not get trapped in a situation when you are always detected. As for the 10 pt captain: You can use the captain from the previous ship, so you level it as you advance through the tiers. 10 pts is not even much, but it sure helps, especially if you are lowtier.

Being outspotted mostly matters if you are playing a DD. From your stats i see, you are playing a BB on T7. BBs dont spot for themselves, they let DDs (or even Cruisers) and CVs spot for them. If you are AFK, that makes matters worse. Even if you dont like it: You are waaay to inexperienced to make the right calls on what is the issue when facing 2 tier higher ships. - play more lowertiers, try to get atleast a 10 point captain for your T7+ ships so you have concealment expert. If you dont have that, your concealment is really bad, especially against T8 ships which have a module to get their concealment lowered even more. - KGV and DoY are very thinly armored. Especially against T8+ BBs, they have a hard time as every one of them can overmatch your armor. Stay at range, use HE (DoY has good AP tho), try to dodge enemy fire rather than to absorb it. - The best bet for you is, play more lowertiers, all classes different nations, if you want help for a specific ship, make a seperate thread asking for help, post a replay or 2 and people will tell you how to get better. Yeah, thats why T6 ships dont face T4 ships. T1-4 has +/-1 MM to make it easier for newer players. Once you start playing hightiers, you have harsher MM, but you should also have more experience. Sadly, the way WG is pushing the ability to grind through the tiers is mostly hurting new players, as they advance much too fast. Well then i guess, the most logical step would be to quit this game. It might not be for you. They will not change +/-2 MM, they have said so often. Also, if you dont like MM when playing T7, dont even go to T8. Its MUCH worse there, because T7 MM is considered to be one of the best out of all tiers.

1. Then show us how much damage your secondaries did to that DD. 2. Yes it does, as its a seperate issue. Your musashi game you have high damage without any kills. In the Kii game, you have literally no damage and a kill, so you are a killstealer like you claim others are...? 3. 1 game, as i showed, your other game from today was server average. 4. But 1 game says something? Thats great logic right there. 5. Ofc its a one time result. You didnt post your 82k damage game, but stats show it anyway. You are deliberately creating fake stories by cherry picking results which fit your agenda (and even then they are proving yourself wrong).

133 581 in 2 musashi games, one being 184k, so the other is 82k, which is just server average. And we all know what average wows player is capable of Soon you might be able to have more average damage than i got in my Marblehead Btw doesnt it bother you, that you die to fires literally on every resultscreen you show us? Its not like we have been saying that this might happen

Personaly i prefer Alaska, the dispersion feels better. Which is weird, since i have both more damage and hitrate in Kron compared to Alaska But i put that down on the different gun characteristics. Alaska slow shells, so you miss more if you aim badly. Kron has easier time hitting stuff because of railguns, but it feels like you miss more, since you will always have shells going left and right. Alaska is a bit more tanky. I agree with @ShinGetsu on that one, its harder to punish an Alaska. And if you have lucky MM, Alaska can bowtank lower caliber BBs, while Kron can only bounce Lyon/KGV/DOY/Scharnhorst. And ofc Alaska has much better AA, which is good these days.

You might want to stop playing coop... you wont earn too much credits there

Ofc i agree coupons should line up with the patch day... but i also said, that their schedule has been planed months ahead, they knew patchday will be on 26.6. They could have changed that literally 2 months ago without any problem. Wouldnt have said a word. But 1 day before? cmon... typical WG. Thats the biggest issue imo. Its same crap all the time. But on the other hand, i dont see much logic here: People wait for a coupon, who currently already have a coupon, but they dont want to use it, because they might take another ship in 4 days So why deliberately waste a coupon? That i dont understand. Ok, you dont have enough Coal for both ships, but what happens when in 1 month they release Smolensk for Steel, and you just used your Coupon for Coal Yoshino? Imo either you want a ship, or you dont. And if you wanna waste a coupon - be my guest. "suffering" : didnt find another word, so i just went with it

Id go with Alaska. Its better than other T9 cruisers. While i see Georgia not being better than most T9 BBs, especially not the premium ones.
