Being radared behind an Island > sitting behind an island not knowing that Radar is active Ok no arguement there, BUT Leaving island cover into Radar >> Being radared behind an Island Its far more dangerous than the other. I mean, there is a reason why you sit behind an island right? Also id like to know from the LoS pro side @AnotherDuck or @Runegrem How you ever gonna bait Radar? If the Radar ship is not spotted, it probably wont use radar EVER. This is especially true for the more dangerous US Radars, which become even more dangerous compared to RU radar, as Shingetsu already stated. Open water caps could become more dangerous when ships with radar range > spotting range choose to cover the cap with Radar, while being undetected themselves, as the other caps are pretty much useless for them. Also why would Radar cruiser run like little pigs to the slaughter house with LoS Radar? They can still island camp and wait if the DD is advancing. US ships can island camp anyway with their Arcs. Could add the BB AP on DD thing, with less BBs around i dont think it would be too big of a deal actually When there are only like 3 BBs, means there are also more Cruisers around to shoot at, so the chance should be far lower to get blapped by a BB in a DD.

Man those teams these days... A few moments later Basicly 5 mins into the game, the enemies already gave up 3/4 of the map... Utterly boring. You are already losing and run even further to hide... why tho

Thats a new one Double kill with a torp salvo OPzov in action

I think a CV player with those stats should be handleable... Since he provided the name, everyone can check it. Doesnt look like someone who is using manual drop to me (or if he is kinda bad at it^^) The opposite is: Not dmgconing one fire despite dieing to it. Because flamu sez "never repair one fire"

Some ppl have a point, f.e.: If someone has high amounts of FreeXP/Coal it only matters if he has bought all available FreeXP ships or atleast one expensive coal ship. Multiple forumites have stated that they dont buy specific ships because they dont like them (or the class for that matter). I only have >250k FreeXP right now, but i own all FreeXP ships currently available. ALso i got like 70k coal, but i already bought Salem. Some other can have 200k coal but havent bought any ship with it. And then you could always buy special modules or flags if you feel like it. But i also used 45k coal for Bismarck/Vive la France collections.

Got a survey today when i logged into the game. Was about Sprint. And the question was in there also^^ Voted yes because why not

Oh and lets not forget like hundreds of oil for your clan If you take container after you buy Warspite and Gallant.

More like try to sniff inhale them in hope for sweet sweet glue Ontopic: Not sure if reporting to support would help - but what does the ingame report system do when this happens? Reporting for AFK probably doesnt work because he did something (did he have XP in the end? then i think it deffinetely wont do anything) which leaves us with unsporting behaviour... not too sure what that would do

I remember one game where the enemy side hat 2x3 +2x2 div from the same clan. They had quite a big mouth in the beginning, but did shut up rather fast when they were losing^^

You could use them to buy more container- you will get special flags out of them + more sovereigns again to buy more containers^^ Will probably take some time for you, but i think better than credits. also did you get bert dunkirk?

Im clan Leader

I know My plan was to get to R8 last season (just didnt work, i played ~20 games on R9 losing like 2/3 of them) then i said its enough. Got a steel SC at some point and i have 4k~ (i think) right now. So i hope i can atleast get 1 Steelship within the next 2 ranked seasons... CBs doesnt really work, since we dont have enough ppl (+ all but Forlornsailor and me are inactive right now ) And lets face it: All good players have a clan or dont want one. Would need to take new players (who can be good ofc) but need to get them to T10 and hope they dont stop playing (which already happened )

Maybe we can expect Bourgogne to cost 30-35k Steel (would be my guess because BB > Cruiser pricetag) so thats like 4 seasons ranked/CB i guess?

On a positive note, atleast right now we can choose which ship we want to get for steel - unlike before where it was first Flint and later Black (and only by reaching R1). Imagine if we would have still the same rules and you would need to get to R1 like 10 times to get Bourgogne.

But the reality is, that potatos will lose the match no matter how many radars are in there. Your side just potatoed harder And if 1 of your other 3 DDs would have played better, i think you could have won this, because i felt that your team had better BB/CA players than the enemy. The problem was that they were mostly blind... (and probably permaspotted)

You know? Or was that a wild guess? Or just to tease us?

We play 4-man Dynamo, if we play equally good we get ~2,5k-2,7k each. If we swap one player to someone less experienced, or someone has a bad game, the best one can go as high as 3,4k~ (what we have seen so far). And you basicly are guaranteed to get 5 stars. With prem acc + best camo + all flags ive broken 30k FreeXP in one match. >100k per day is not even a lot if you get those numbers for one battle. And >70k Cptn XP is nice too, sadly my mahan cptn isnt 19 yet Playing Dynamo with 4 guys who know what they are doing is quite relaxing. Playing in randoms with 5 or 6 strangers is harder more often, since they manage to screw you over

Back when Missouri was introduced as first FreeXP ship, 750k was fine, since we didnt have those crazy flags + camos were also not as good overall (or you didnt have that many). Nowadays i feel that 750k is a joke. Atleast if you play enough or farm hard enough. For someone who wants to convert XP to FreeXP its a different story, but imo that shouldnt be the maingoal for those ships. It should be rewards for playing a longer period of time so you accumulate FreeXP which you cant use otherwise. Imo what WG should have done: Set a price for FreeXP ships like we have now, but if you buy one, the next one will get more expensive (not sure how much, but a little bit) and so forth. With the amount of FreeXP some ppl accumulate, they get these ships regardless if its 750k or 1m. But if it would become more expensive for them, atleast they would feel a need to grind more FreeXP.

Play a maximum of 3 games - after that it gets much harder to keep calm. Other option farm Operations.

I could have stopped reading right there. Thats your own PERSONAL opinion - not a FACT. There have been many reasonable arguements (also from "our" side, who is against LoS radar - but its the same with CVs: WG ignores the problem and the arguements from experienced CV players and rather does something stupid). US Radar could be lower duration yes. Maybe a bit longer than RU becuase it has shorter range. The special upgrade was always a joke as how it favours US Radar. Also they nerfed it after Worcester was released, why? Ofc because Worcester is OP af who can deal >100k damage in one extended Radar session. But they couldnt admit that (because new ship must be OP), so they made the upgrade even more useless for RU ships. Actually, if CVs would be present more often, they would be far worse than Radar. Not only do they permaspot you, but they also spot your torps instantly, which means you can do nothing. You are lucky that majority of CV players are braindead who dont understand spotting DDs but rather snipe CVs, otherwise it would be real fun for DDs... not. You can try to cap without support when a CV is there to spot you. What you gonna do? Smoke up? And then what. Maybe you can cap, thats if the enemy DD isnt in the cap or is trying to torp you because you are blind now. The only thing left to do is run back to your fleet so that the CV cant follow you. How lucky have you been not to play against a unicum CV? BBs create passive gameplay They play passive themselves, and force all other ships to camp, even their own kind to some degree. Ships like Worcester/Harugumo made things worse, as they scare away even more BBs with intense HE spamming. Your arguement is that DDs have to play passive. Do you really think with LoS Radar especially Cruisers would play less passive? Or BBs for that matter? Would get even worse. The team with the bad DDs would fold even faster. You think that with LoS Radar Cruisers would somehow yolo in and die so that they can use radar - not gonna happen. If anything, baiting Radar becomes even harder than it is now.

Was so much crap i skipped it with FreeXP. Otherwise i would have gone to the mental asylum i think GK is better yes, but also not good as a sniper.

You were the only DD playing properly, alltho i would have made some different decisions, but you didnt misplay like your 3 other DDs. Moving on to the real problem You could have made a difference, but holy moly you played bad. When you have 4 DDs, you cant just abandon one flank. Belfast and Missouri were spotted on the other side very early. If you are scared for Atlanta Radar, you are certainly playing wrong. Even your yolo Mahan did you a favor by spotting the Buffalo, and you still sat at the island... The right flank from your team was totaly blind. Nothing did spot there, and they could just surround your team from all sides. Considering how bad the enemies played on that side, your team certainly had a chance - but you took that away from them. They circled around like chickens, because NOTHING was spotted. Funny tho, that your team actually killed advancing enemies quite fast, once they were spotted The map has many island, they can work for Radar ships, but they certainly help DDs aswell. You traded yourself for a 13k Hp Buffalo basicly - horrible move after your side already lost 2 DDs... Why? So mad against radar ships that you have to fight and bite into them AND DIE just to kill it? Makes no sense. Your priorities were not countering the enemy DDs, which you should easily win in a Jutland - yet you didnt even try. 3,5 sec reload, only getting outspotted by Yugumo... And lets not forget being toptier. Oh and btw: Radar did kill you exactly how? Could replace the BUffalo with any other ship and you would have eaten that Myoko torp anyway. Stop whining about radar and help your team. Case closed. So that the other 2 DDs get their share of rant: - Jervis continued to push into a Missouri and Belfast. Belfast wasnt the best player (50% in Belfast actually). Why? Noone knows. Missouri has almost 3km Radar buffer, if you go in, its your own fault. - Mahan. what can you say about that? Probably would have died regardless. Enemies could have had 12 radars or none, for this player it doesnt matter, played like crap.

I dunno. There is a difference between someone who is playing his own game, and someone who is maybe just bad at the game. F.e. a DD in Arms Race deliberately ignoring all Buffs to go torp a Worcester in their spawns is pretty anti-team play (had that once) Or a BB running into the last corner sniping all the time from 25km. This is what i meant. The BB wont die early since he is so far away that there is no need to engange him. If the team loses too fast, he might even survive, and can farm his damage all the time. And XP table might be upper half or even better and he thinks he did good, while actually he did horrible. Compared to someone who might try to play the game but is overly aggressive, lacks map awareness or some other basic stuff, then one could argue that he is atleast trying to play for his team.

Haxx.exe?

Skill.exe ~14km or so roughly. Otherwise i agree with you, it should have been banned from modpack rather than included.
