Sure DDs need counters. But 1CV against a DD is much worse than 1CL vs 1CV dont you agree? The CL cant be everywhere, its limited by speed and being spotted in open water aka getting citadelled by BBs. The limitation one CL could have over the movement of planes is laughable at best.

Ofc he could limit the effects of my thermonuclear HE, but sadly, there is no cptn skill which does the same for CVs (atleast not in a similiar way) On the other hand, can one demand taking last stand on a floating Citadel like Phoenix? Down the line, it would be rather obsolete. Personaly havent bothered so far using last stand in any Cruiser ive ever played. That would automatically mean, for the majority of the players DDs are actually dead? Which kinda makes it true really... You have to take into account, tons of people are playing Space battles. Yesterday there were constantly 100-200 BBs in the queue, which means, less players in random battles. Since there are no CVs in Space battles, i guess the CV players are still sitting in randoms, meaning more games will get CVs. Strawman We are not Borg

Who would have thought ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Now someone will tell you how they are wrong because reason. Which ofc makes no sense, since you cant argue against someones feelings

Atleast it was over then... Slowly dieing without being able to do anything is much more unfun actually. Couple of days ago while playing Orion: - Phoenix had used DCP, my division Orion broke his rudder -> Phoenix kept running in circles. - After he repaired it again, i shot another volley into him, breaking his Rudder and Engine again. He was just a sitting duck waiting to die. Its terrible and unfun to play against something like this (i was in a state of lauhging and feeling sorry for that guy), CVs are on the same level. They keep coming, and coming, and coming, and coming. RTS CVs needed several minutes to get back with a full strike force, which gave you the opportunity to do something. Or your own CV shielded you right away from the enemy planes

Probably nothing wrong with the way you tested it eh? I guess, the Z just easily citadelled you to death, and you couldnt do it, because DDs dont have a Citadel You could sit a Minotaur broadside to basicly any DD bow on at closerange, the DD will easily citadel the Minotaur while the Minotaur keeps bouncing on the DD 3km is not a range Cruisers would normaly fight DDs. How about try 10 km when the DD will not Citadel you anymore... So you never had a good Cruiser player against you? Cant tell if thats weird or not, since we dont know how many battles you have played.

I feel the left side where the armory and stuff is, that ive went back to the year 2000 from the looks of it Not sure what was wrong with the old one, except that it was a tad large maybe. Premium shop/Armory could have just been moved somewhere else (dropdown on your nickname maybe? like inventory), and keep the mission stuff as it is. I really dont like the new looks of those...

TBF, nothing gives anyone the right to harass other players - whether you have good or bad stats is irrelevant for that. Ive been called a number of things based on my stats - CV hater (because i dont play them apparently) - Sealcubber (because i play too much lowtiers?! also because i have played lowtier CVs ) - T10 Sealcubber (hows that even a thing ?!) - Statpadder (yeah... because i play a ship like Marblehead which boosts my PR/WR i can only boost my PR with Marblehead, because most people suck with it) - Getting carried by Unicum Divisions (based on my Solo WR, which is down to me being a newbie) But why should i care? Will it get better if i flame them back? Not really.

Met @MrConway and @Sehales when they were playing Space battles on stream Sadly, our team lost Was kinda funny tho, when i re-watched the stream Mrconway "Ill be aggressive now" -> eats my torp

They choose not to play for the team - there is a difference. Also, 3 players cant sealclub 12 others, thats not how it works A division may get 10+ kills, but usually you still need your teammates, and if its only as sacrifical lambs Players not focusing targets is their own fault when they are tunnel visioning. A 40% guy wont become super unicum only if will be put into a division with voicecom. You should do that yourself, i dont think you understand how it works. Even if a divisionmate is in trouble, its not guaranteed that you can help him. Or when a target used DCP. You can try telling that to your random teammates, see how they care - not. Tried that often enough, they wont shoot it anyway. Or they start shooting AP at it And to "smoking each other up" thats again the fault of the random teammates. Been there, done that. They either keep shooting, because they dont understand smoke firing penalty, or they just keep sailing through the smoke, making it a waste. If you smoke up your division, you can either save them, or they can deal more damage. Its not that i wouldnt help my random teammates, but most of the time its to cast pearls before swines so to say Instead of hating divisions, use your energy towards WG because they are removing teamplay all the time. Most players are focused on their own game, they ignore every teamplay aspect, which makes divisions stronger... so its not our fault ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think you can account for the division WR by upscaling it basicly. F.e.: Someone who has 60% 3x Division WR is most likely not THAT great. Or he would need to play with 2 average players all the time. Thats ofc the problem with division WR overall, as you never know who the other 2 persons were. My 2x Division games are 99% together with the same player, and so is one of the 2 others in my 3x division. But the 3rd guy has changed/changes all the time.

Shouldnt WR be the ultimate measure? Because winning in WoWs is not only done by dealing damage or killing stuff. You could deal 0 damage and still win the game by just capping the base. Ofc thats the most extreme scenario, but that should explain it the easiest way. Then you still have other means to help your team, spotting enemies, smoking up your teammates, screening for torps... And 2 important factors: Map awareness, being able to read the flow of the battle and having a good aim. Being able to hit your shells is ofc easier, you can be a good shot but if you dont understand that a DD is flanking to torp you, then it wont help you as much. I think its very complex, but in the end, WR counts imo. The better you are at every single aspect, the more battles you will win.

If its really going over the line, report them to customer support. Otherwise, if someone is just being salty, i ignore it. But some people never stop (go on by messaging in port f.e.), and they might start with some imaginary RL threats (i know where you live blablubb). Then i send screens + replay to WG, hope they ban him for a while. If he does it again, and gets reported again, maybe they ban him totaly or for a longer time. But if someone says "fag/[edited]/gay" i dont really care... There is no need for WG to go through the daily insults in every match, that would certainly be too much for them

YOLO THE NELSON On a scale of 1 to 10, how much is this sealclubbing?

If i can/want/have to get undetected i will DCP one fire aswell. The chance has to be reasonably low to not get several permafires/floods afterwards. Letting a fire burn just because its only one fire will cost you a heal too for no reason. And always remember, that you will slow down if you let the flooding be. Is something which should be considered aswell.

Retard-Armor? Kinda the same

FTFY.

- If you dont care, then sure its your own fault So you deserve the WR you have. Same if you go AFK in your example, which is probably an extreme one in the first place. Based on what you say, id guess he is a good player if he still can influence the game enough despite being AFK that often. But since ive never played WoT, i cant really say anything in that regard. Being lucky / unlucky is statistically not possible over a large amount of battles. You can have 10 games in a row, losing most or all even if you play good. Then you had bad luck with your team. However, if you play 1000 battles, the enemy team will have had an equal amount of bad players, where you would have won even if you were AFK. One specific game ≠ every single game. A Certain amount of games you will lose no matter what, and vice versa you will win a certain amount even if you were AFK. If you play Division, you will minimize the fluctuation and win more games than you could playing solo (playing in a good division that is, otherwise you will lose more often^^)

Someone who has 60% WR in 3x Div is prolly not the best player (but most likely good none the less). Or he would be playing with 2 worse players than himself who would drag him down. You can always compare WR on Account with Solo/division, but i know there are many guys around who are basicly playing division only, so their stats are skewed by them not playing solo for a long time. I havent played any serious amount of Solo games for almost 2 years i think. In the last 743 days ive played 227 solo games. Between the 8.9.2016 and 8.2.2017 i played the other 545 solo games on my account, which are the first 5 month of me playing wows. Thats why i always laugh when people statshame me for my solo stats So if you want accurate WR comparision between Solo <-> div you have to dig deep. If you see someone who has a High Division WR, that means this guy is a good player (basicly guaranteed) I agree with some part of your post, here id just like to add an example https://wows-numbers.com/de/player/500701135,RNGsama/?type=solo Others are there aswell ofc, Flamu has >60% aswell on T8+ https://wows-numbers.com/de/ranking/type,div3/?p=544 Explain these players have <27% 3x division WR while having much better solo WR.

Happens all the time Team: "Lets go A" *9 out of 12 go A* 4 minutes later watches minimap while being at C cap fighting 3vs8 A Cap is red, 9vs1 DD or some [edited]

Boyard meets Zao (probably works with Atago too): IJN accuracy will help to find the sweetspot, if not, use HE Profit

Because its their personal WR when they have played enough games They have had enough games to influence the outcome of x amount of battles. Thats why we have guys with 40% and 60% WR

You have to differentiate between writing your opinion, and stating something as a fact. Like this: "I dont like Fiji" -> thats an opinion, you can have this opinion even if you havent played Fiji "Fiji is a bad ship" -> this is obviosly not an opinion, and in order for you to make any such clame, you would need atleast have played that ship. If you have played Fiji, and you cant make her work, then this ship might not be for you, but it doesnt make it a bad ship. The problem with this is, most of the time people dont write an opinion - they write facts. Thats when you get shutdown with facts (or your own stats basicly)

So i just have to ask at this point, since i guess you changed your playstyle today. How is this more fun than this First of all: Average tier is even higher on the first screen than on the second. Then you have - much lower survivability - halfed your average damage - and less average kills This is not statshaming, but i genuinely dont understand why the first would result in more fun playing the game To put it into perspective using my own stats: Yesterdays Alaska game -> Fun. I won, had good damage, 2 kills. I pushed into C on Mountain range radaring a Shimakaze, torpedobeating (well, took 1...) And i survived too. Compared to this couple of days ago. The only thing, which makes this remotely ok was getting a win out of it. Otherwise, the game was totaly unfun. Changing my gameplay to make somekinda retard rush into 3 HE spamming Cruisers (because noone wanted to spot...) would only have made it more likely to lose for me, while not getting me more damage anyway.

Yeah, this is very sad imo... And i feel its getting worse especially on T8. They dont like to play vs T10 ships, how would they feel if their T6s would do the same when they are toptier themselves? Just throwing the game from the get go
