Dont play ranked, dont play ranked, dont play ranked

Some are playing so badly, they might aswell be rentals

Im a F2P player and i dont have problems with economy I dont even play that much anymore, and im still bursting with Signals/Camos (even some premium consumables in stock). I would be in favor of a MUCH harsher economy, so this [edited]30% TX players can [edited]off back to T5 and learn to play

I kinda have to agree about the part with having no easy wins. I only have played 8 battles so far, but all the wins i had to play almost without mistakes. Well, one game i did made one, by going too close to WGs glorious coded islands and i got glued to it, which then got me killed. I mean, we had a tremendous points lead, but my remaining DD and CV wanted to throw it, DD rushed towards enemies with 2k HP, and CV reversed broadside to a Yamato at 10km. Luckily, we got 1k points. And the one loss might have been preventable, but its hard to make a call with 14k HP left on a Salem, when enemy repub with 20k is capping B, enemy Moskva with 40k is at C, and enemy CV is also coming from B. I told my remaining 2 BBs (50% GK, full HP Conq) to rush C with me together we take Moskva first. I could have given them aircover (which i did the entire game because they [edited]sat behind me all the time). Ofc they didnt go C with me, but lost 130k HP in 3 mins to the CV and the Repub - ofc Repub didnt die with 20k HP against full HP Conqueror While i even managed to kill the Moskva Maybe i should have went B aswell, but that would have put me in the open against CV spotting/Dropping and crossfire from Repub/Moskva. The other 2 losses were no chance of winning ever.

In return, rentals are premiums and can use any captain available without retraining. I think thats much better than to now have a Camo. And i also think, thats why they removed that option.

Yeah, game is ruined because Cruisers dont do their job .. ...

After playing Salem and Mino in ranked (R12~), which didnt work too well, because many Cruisers and BBs were too dumb, i went in with my GK. Team wanted to Lemming A, and i said, ill stay at B for crossfire. Much confidence in me i see Blapp (after i already got Moskva broadside and Yamato broadside) Roughly 8 mins and 210k damage, not too shabby i think - and a Cap aswell I mean, the enemies were rushing towards me after they realized it, and my team kept camping... but still tactic worked

T7 ranked was my first season - was the most fun i ever had in ranked. Most people hated it because Belfast... i dunno why

Maybe i should give Hindenburg a try Salem and Minotaur have been... mixed so to say. But not sure if any of those losses could have been prevented. Might have saved a star more tho...

1. Dont play secondary build, try something else. Nobody says, that Secondary build is THE best build for german ships. Its an option to play it like that, some like it, other dont. Bismarck for me was manageable with Secondaries, but the T9/10 certainly not. With GK i went tank build, and its much more fun. 2. Not a Bismarck problem, its T8. Also, Bismarck can do the same to a Montana and vice versa. Both shoot each others bow -> both will bounce. Germans have much better armor, try playing a NC or Amagi and face a Musashi / Yamato. They cant bounce at all. Bismarck can bounce Upper Belt/ Deck where others cant. 3. Thats a german BB problem in general 4. I think it would be beneficial for you to play more midtier games. Play Cruisers and DDs aswell, will teach you a lot. There is no "endgame" at TX. If anything, frustration will be waiting for you. Its already showing. If you go to TX, it will almost guaranteed get only worse. 5. Again more a problem of T8. Why not shoot the lower tier ships? They have less HP, but get the same damage. If you play Gneisenau, wouldnt you shoot a T5 Cruiser aswell? 6. Then play those. Games should be about having fun, why you wanna waste your free time by not having fun? 7. Eh... who has tho? Does Bismarck need a buff? You could say so for other german BBs too, but it might end in a tradeoff, where something else gets nerfed in return (like getting a citadel?). The Meta is crap for closerange ships, but if you buff them, and meta changes, suddenly they might become OP. As i said before, go back to low-midtiers. You are not experienced enough to compete in hightier matchmaking, especially in ships which in this meta are subpar. The FDG and GK will feel even worse compared to the Bismarck. They are much larger in size, they move like bricks, the dispersion is still "questionable" and you eat even more superstructure pens compared to Bismarck. The only way you will get a better WR, is by learning more about the game. If you could swap your Bismarck for another T8 BB, the results will most likely look similiar.

3 Rental ships and my Midway - all from one game ofc... not sure whats worse. im gonna go with Rentals tho They played like they were freshly lobotomized

Yep, this is so true. One of my games, had 3 rental ships on my side (Moskva + 2 GKs). Moskva yoloed in, both GKs basicly ran away first, then turned back in only to get farmed full broadside There was never a chance to win it. CVs... yeah. Problem is, i feel ive had the worse CV player everytime. Ive been playing mostly Salem with M-AA + BFT, got 60k plane damage couple of times However, after losing the first squad, they usually dont go for me anymore, and just kill all my other ships. When thats done, they can focus on me again even if its only for permaspotting. Funny thing, even with CV i feel that i usually had barely any vision, dont even know how thats possible...

Im at the same spot - trapped at 12 WLWLWL basicly... Saving star hardly works, its almost always a BB

I think those are just horrible for the game. Along with Smolensk. You guys remember back when they introduced RN CLs, and people were asking why no HE? And WG said, no, minotaur cant have HE it shoots so fast (from smoke too). So Smolensk is good to go with 16! guns, fast reload and smoke ontop of that

Oh yeah, now i know where i went wrong

No why would that be? If AA would have a more simple mechanic, then balancing between planes and AA would be much easier imo. Same thing about immunity zones. Why is that a [edited]thing? It only leaves room for exploits and what not (like slingshot). If you cant balance AA <-> Plane HP without making them immune in between, then think of something else The more we know about how AA works, the more retarded it gets in my mind. Its a total [edited]up.

Rentals are worse One team with 3 Rentals today - i called loss right away. Totaly stomped

In those cases, i think they actually do. Ive observed people, which i have reported for that stuff and usually they happened to "not play" for 1 or 2 weeks. I even know of one, who came back one week later and told the guy who reported him, that he was banned

Send it to support? Id do it (and did previously^^)

I think if AA starts to shoot instantly, you could press "P" all the time to reset the reload?

Nobody checks what you wrote. If you write ANYTHING in chat, and somebody reports you for misbehaviour, the automated system can ban you for it.

Same - thats why i was wondering... would fit WGs BBaby agenda perfectly

Yeah i know, but he hardly ever attacked me (even less so with bombs). So my AA should have been working most of the time. And Salem AA tick isnt really slow... well neither is Conq Mid, just checked, but their DPS is lower than mine

That was easily winable, if it werent for those 2 BB mongs, which lost ~130k HP within the last 3 minutes If i wouldnt have taken the Shima torp, i could have pushed the Moskva and the Repub in the end too. But with CV dead, and basicly both DDs dead, i had to take a chance against the Shima and radar it, in order to get it down. Ofc the shima only torped, because our idiot shima smoked itself up in the cap I want 11 atleast (doubloons), probably not gonna do more Nope

I rather wonder if certain ships target low-HP planes, because some ships seem to get all the planekills - especially the ones with weaker AA. Today ranked 60k planedamage with SAlem, but only 18 shot down. The GK/Conq which were hugging me, got 45 combined
