Gotta share this aswell, i didnt spot it myself, but its quite funny Note: This wasnt intentionally done (how could i ) Last 3 weeks stats Same amount of games + same WR

How can you know if there arent occasions where this doesnt apply? They dont have to get punished - if they use a CV, its actually very likely that they wont get punished at all, since MM needs a similiar anchor division to screw both of em. But other divisions can get punished, or not. Depends on MM. Ive seen both.

PEF - not a bad ship imo. Atleast works great in Raptor Rescue. Blaps Cruisers and Secondaries are good too (almost 30k^^)

Whats that? collective suicide attempt by breaking their necks? Ontopic: Raptor Rescue still horrible. Just now a team with 3 DDs i thought this would be a loss. Turns out was 5 stars - thx to RNGesus blessing my PEF and i got 251k Major contribution

NC > Musashi/GK/Kron All others were >100k games aswell, but NC feels so much easier. Pretty much every broadside you hit is a Citadel. I was in a bad crossfire tho... And enemies really hold their shots until i was showing broadside this needs special attention: Cossack/Ognevoi division just rushed in, but smoked up in my hydro. After they died, my game was over however. BBs ran away, and a Chapa kept blocking my path, while our BBs kept ignoring him. Our other flank won easily aswell, all caps -> enemies no points left.

You know what happened to me lately? Was playing CV moving with Raptor (usually i overtake him to go for the capcircle - because most people are too stupid...). So ofc i was set to autopilot. What i didnt realize in time, one of my teammates "blocked" me so my autopilot steered into the ranger. Ranger impaled me, and i was pushing him sidewards, while he pushed me forwards. We ended up beached on an island, raptor died to enemy fire So basicly we got screwed by several "game mechanics" - Autopilot evading other ships - Being stuck together, as i couldnt reverse/accelerate/stop - Perma beaching (couldnt get away)

Couple of days ago i overpenned a Tirpitz broadside aswell at <10km... The shells are just really fast, which makes hitting at range easier, but it also means that you get more overpens. Even if the shell is arming, it might detonate outside the ship because its too fast. But with monty there is another possibility actually: Its upper belt isnt armored enough to arm Kronshtadt shells. So if you hit that at flat broadside, you will most likely overpen it. Aim lower for the armored belt and it should overpenetrate imo - BBs are kinda fat And Montys citadel sits kinda low in the water. With those railguns its probably hard to get to the citadel.

One of my favorite ships in the game (well Marblehead that is, but more or less the same) For me i skipped FDG Bismarck was painful because of the guns, but FDG felt worse because it is even bigger than Bismarck. Basicly skipped Colorado aswell, i was just about to play it (first game i hated it instantly) and got NC from a Great 8 container, so i was good to go (NC is awesome).

Some nice matches with LaGal in Raptor Rescue, here is the best one: Had some others, mostly >160k / >200k. Paper armor + reload booster = OP ship And as @El2aZeR has tought so many aspiring CV captians: Git gud, get the cap and be the last one alive That last Kuma literally killed our whole division

Yes, even the Cruiser use last stand. And you would think they use DCP for their broken engine - hell no

Just had one match and basicly our own CV edited us to death Dropping every target with TBs so that they turn and beach angled to us. Then he triggered the far most CV right away so im the target to several strikes and die to torps because i cant evade both DD torps and CV torps at the same time. Half team was dead by the time anyway, so we lost soon after.

The rules are clear: If you play in a T8 ship, you can face ships ranging from T6 to T10. You dont like that? Dont press battle. If you go AFK because of that, you deserve to get punished. Voicing your opinion about bad MM in the forums or wherever is your right. But its not your right to go AFK because you dont like what the MM has given you, EVEN THO its perfectly clear what could happen.

Just some thought as i voted now: - Free XP is devaluated imo. You can farm huge amounts with little effort. This creates problems, because people who play a lot are drowning in FreeXP. The only use for it is skipping new lines/upgrading ships or to get Premium ships when WG releases them. At the same time, WG is introducing new lines with means to skip to T8 right away (RN DDs f.e.). So people need even less FreeXP to jump to T10 right away. Removing FreeXP premium ships at times puts a strain on those people who play less. They dont use their FreeXP for upgrades on their ships, because they are saving it for a Premium ship. - Captain XP: The more 19 pt cptns you have, the easier you will accumulate Captain XP. So it kinda favors longtime players heavily. Thats something im lacking all the time, because i have only a handful of 19 pointers. And i would need to play those ships all the time aswell, to get more Captain XP - but have to play other ships too.... At the same time, you need 10-14 point commanders on most midtier ships too now, because either the ship requires it (CE+IFHE) or you need to stay "competetive" against players who got 19pt captains. F.e. played La Gal with 7 pt captain couple of days ago (to get Credits for PEF) in T8 MM - and it kinda sucked. Concealment was garbage and HE deals very little damage because no IFHE.

No its not. Your statement is only true for a limited amount of battles. Over 1k games, the only constant in every game was YOUR performance. Basicly you say that people with high WR are luckier with their teams And what would happen if noone would upgrade their ships anymore just to be toptier? You can research the upgrades but you dont have to use it. Extreme case would be: T8 stock ships are in queue for battle, waiting for upgraded T7 ships. No upgraded T7 ships are around since they are all stock waiting for T6 ships. Endresult would be same tier MM. Ofc this is highly hypotethical, but its true basicly. There are ships which perform better when stock compared to others. So a DD which requires Torp upgrades gets the finger, while f.e. some BBs arent really dependant on any upgrade when they are hightier. Also would premium ships always be top or lowtier because they dont have upgrades to research ?

With "XP" you mean XP sitting around on Premium/Elite ships? Or XP for grinding ships, i.e. i want to grind a line and i use all flags and i can get like 40k in one match?

Minsk good AA boat

Ive felt that most of the T6 OPs seem to give underwhelming results with less than 5 stars and average results. So the more good players are in one game, the more it will even out the XP, leaving everyone with a mediocre amount. In a 5 star game today, i managed 1646 XP as top earner, while the other 6 had an average of 1060... So it aint that good even with 5 stars

Thats what im wondering: Currently the AA dies simply to the splash damage from BB HE. Question is, does that change if the AA gets buffed? And then there is still the problem with -> 2 salvos = AA still dies. So it might not die with 1 salvo, but it will be destroyed after a couple of salvos...

1. BB HE deals ~2k damage. Doesnt matter if the HE gun has 200, 400, 800 or 1200 HP in that case. MAYBE it doesnt kill so much AA with one salvo, dunno how the splash damage is calculated. 2. Cruisers deal also ~1k damage with HE - with better ROF. They kill less guns per salvo, but over time it accumulates. 3. Even with RTS CVs it could have made sense to shoot HE with your BB against heavy AA ships.

Yeah like getting shot at from a Conqueror at 20km... basicly dead ship right there. Oh no wait... Especially US ships with their small caliber AA guns tend to lose huge amounts to one BB HE salvo.

I thought about playing Operations tomorrow - think that works better than Coop Wanna join us maybe?

I think its more like the same with Stalingrad as many people see it. They see T10 Ships playing their T8 ship too often and they get frustrated for whatever reason (same with Stalin). Get frustrated = play worse = get more frustrated = play like horse crap - its only downward spiral from there. If you play like a moron, anything will rape you. If that thing is a Stalin, people will rage even more. Thats why i think it fits well to compare. [edited]myself 500+games with T8 in my first 6 months of playing was probably a good thing afterwards, as it made me "git gud".

Im not sure if they really will remove any steel ships. Removing steels ships would mean, that they have to introduce new steelships aswell. Ofc it could mean, Flint gets removed (as its the oldest) and Wichita will take its place. Personaly i dont think Azuma will be Coal - they have to introduce a new steelship because people have to grind more steel. There are people with Stalin + Bourgogne already, so its either Wichita (probably because of the silhouette) or Azuma. Or maybe both, but Azuma in 1-2 months, because Wichtia will be "cheap" maybe ~2 Ranked seasons ( ~12-13k Steel?) One possible option could be: Wichita replaces Flint Neutrashimy replaces Black Azuma replaces Stalin. This sounds actually very reasonable when i think about it

Took me some time, but i dug it out • All aircraft carrier commanders reset their skills. So i simply assume, all other classes dont get a commander reset?!

I thought the respecc is only for CV captains? But if you played CBs i guess you will get one from there afterwards?
