So you have the advantage except everything else basicly, even if you have less gunpower. Well Lightning/Cossack boast very good concealment and good DPM, alltho Benson has higher DPM than Lightning. Benson also has 9,2km torprange, which is better than lightnings 8km or close to Z23s 9,5. Fletcher has better torprange than Z46 and Jutland, while also having higher DPM. US DDs are jack of all trades. They can do everything while not being best in anything. One can argue, thats its not a strong trait these days with all the min-max ships, but i think they are in a better spot than german Cruisers, which are also jack of all trades.

Had to do that yesterday to our DD... Hit W, sailed right at the border of the cap, ran into 4 enemy ships *POOF* Its clearly intentional, like just hugging the cap circle to not touch it. Those people arent that stupid. They know "uh, if i touch teh circle, they know ima here, so betta not touch da capppp", but they just dont give a [edited]about their team.

Kinda depends on the situation. Do you have a replay of the game (you automatically have the last 20 replays in your wows folder anyway), so we look at it? Its easier to see it than to have someone explain it to you But if you are correct, that your group died against inferior forces, than what difference would it make if you are there or not? Its not like, a DD, especially on T4, is strong against kiting ships. Torps cant reach, gunpower is meh, and with <10km range the enemies would easily kill you anyway. But maybe if you have the replay, you can upload here so we can have a look. Btw yesterday i had an equal situation on two brothers. We were on the left side, and the enemies were just sitting in spawn, reversing with their BBs. Our other flank kinda collapsed, and the enemies were heading for our base. So i turned around and surprised them as they came around the corner.

Its mostly players who do nothing but suicide as fast as they can. Dunno why they do it, but it seems they just dont give a crap about anything. Thats not exclusive to new players anyway, most of the time, they are rather too passive than too aggressive. Its those 20-30-40k red WR, red PR bot-like players that cause this. And for some reason, the rise in number. Yesterday, in basicly every TX match a BB managed to be first blood (once it was close, there the DD died slightly before the first BB). First game, a thunderer died after exactly 2:38! How the [edited]do you do this even?! 2nd game i managed to radar an Asahio for first blood, but soon after that 2 of our BBs just popped. 3rd game 3 BBs basicly suicided within 5 minutes - 2 from us (Bismarck/Yamato) and one from the enemy (GK). Our Yamato takes the cake, just going to the center than turning flat broadside to half the enemy team You simply cant stop this, especially if you have several BBs suiciding. That some Cruisers always go poof is given, but that often doesnt matter. Its BBs that threaten other BBs, but if you are left with only 1 or 2 BBs, there is no crossfire anymore and enemy DDs/Cruisers can just push ahead, take the caps and dig themselves in behind an island.

I think Stalingrad 2 was the one with AP only and DM AP angles? Dunno if it had some other traits... Played one Stalingrad game yesterday... 54k damage because you cant just be caught bow in Well TBF, it was a roflstomp win, so i guess same result with any other Cruiser too...

I liked her, would rate her top 3 from the T7 BBs. Sinop made both Colorado and Nagato obsolete. Lyon has atleast armor compared to those 2, even when lowtier you have a chance to bounce BB shells unless they hit your bow. I liked Nelson more aswell, but these days i just wouldnt play it. You are just an XP pinata for CVs.... Gneisenau and Scharnhorst kinda lost their role aswell with all the T9 uptiering, you just cant brawl, even less because they are all camping like crap. Well i guess you could play them with a tank-builds... but might aswell take Sinop instead, which has better guns. Lyon has small caliber shells, but they are good against Cruisers. And if you have bowtanking BBs, then you can still fart HE their way.

Thats because playing more games is like increasing the 100 euros

Also: Secondaries are dead! My Massa disagrees Dunno why people complain about it. Had 2 secondary kills - 1 on a DD at maxrange, the other on the CM. Almost 22k (+7k fire) secondary damage - thats plenty. I guess people are only happy if secondaries would shred everything to pieces in 30 sec, dealing 400k damage or so Also the only game out of 7 which was fun today...

Oh look, a Thunderer outside of his natural habitat (aka not turning around in spawn) Dead Thunderer in 2:30 Some time later that game... see where the enemy Thunderer is going? now thats where you want to be as a Thunderer...

SE? AR could also be nice.

That was one hell of a game too, was like playing DD chess or something. The enemy Öland/Takao div recognized me - i recognized them. Neither of us wanted to take a risk to fight the other, because all knew we are good players. They RPF torped me for several minutes fighting around c cap on north. I had like 52 or 56 torps spotted in the end. At some point, one of them flanked around into our spawn, when i started to hunt him down and kill him, then i relocated back to the center to grab B cap and by that time, my other flank also came around to fend them off and we barely won after 20 minutes. Hell of a game really, even wihout much visbile effort in the end.

thats why i rather go the middle route and rather buff the mainbattery. In case you have a BB or Cruiser within 9km, secondaries should hit (somewhat) even without manual sec. Sure, you can go full secondaries with the sec mod, but a hybrd makes imo more sense. As for the heal, i dont feel its that necessary. Too often, you dont need it anyway, especially these days with steamrolls left right and center. 2 out 3 Tx games today.. boy oh boy. 10 minutes and 11:40, but they were lost waaay before that, and it got only prolonged by a lot of camping. But even playing BB (which i didnt) you couldnt use so many heals because either someone else suicides instead of you, or game ends before that. I basicly dumped that skill on all BBs, id only take it on russian BBs. FP > CE > extra repair.

Was even more surprised when i checked afterwards, that those were >65% WR players

Thats often a misconception imo, especially for DDs. You can get good XP even while dealing little damage, if its on DDs. Didnt even get much spotting damage (27k), because the team on my flank just suicided pretty much, while i was left together with one BB against 2xÖland+Atago div. No chance to attack them directly, so i had to wait till they split up. Luckily, our other flank won.

Well, i guess it can work, but it will take some time. With those high DPM ships, you can dismantle a BB quite fast too. Thats like >90k with the help of 3 torps in 40 sec. Moskva has less health than a kremlin.

I can only explain it to you, if you keep an open mind and concider, that i might be right with what im saying, so last try: What is 100% WR? 100% WR is you WON every game you have EVER played. So if you play 1 game, and you win that, you have 100% WR. That should be clear, right? 1 game: 1 win = 100% WR 2 games: 2 wins = 100% WR 10 games: 10 wins = 100% WR Makes sense, right? Ok, so now we move on. Our guy with 10 games and 10 wins plays 2 more games. He now loses one and wins one. 12 games: 11 wins - 1 loss = ??% WR 91,66% WR He doesnt have won all games, so he cant have 100% WR anymore. So if you win 1 and lose 1, you dont get the same what you previously had.

And the equivalent in wows is what? Playing T1 all day long, slaughtering newbs? Those people exist in wows, they play 3x div all day long with 90% WR. Do you see those playing in some sort of tournament finals? Or in any good clan for that matter? OFC NOT! Noone would play with those, because they SUCK when it comes to actually playing this game. You put them in a T10 ship, they get like <40% WR with 10k avg damage. So your example makes very little sense...

Thats only true for one scenario: 50% WR. For everything else, 1 win and 1 loss can either decrease or increase your WR, depending where you come from. Next example You have played 1 game, you won it. What is your WR? You play another game, now you lose. What is your WR now?

So if i have 60% WR, and i win 1 game and lose 1 game, i still have 60% WR... allright. Please tell me you are trolling? Lets take an example: We take 20 players wth 60% WR, and everyone has played 10 games, so thats 6w and 4l. We let them play 10 times against each other, now they have 20 games. 10 of them get 6 wins and 4 losses. The other 10 get 4 wins and 6 losses. 10 players now have 20 games with 12 wins and 8 losses, they still have 60% WR. The other 10 players now have 20 games with 10 wins and 10 losses. Their WR is now 50%. And so you are dragging everyone down to 50%, while at the same time, you will reduce the size of the brackets more and more.

Yet, you are trying to tell others what they should want from this game - think about it. Yes, you claiming that makes perfect sense. We will just take your word for it, because...? Is there some study where leading scientists followed the gaming life of wows players and they discovered "omfg, once those wows """"UNICUMS"""" leave wows, they actually suck at everything else" Once again, you project something else from a different game (which we cant verify btw), and assume, its the same way in wows too. Like suddenly good players in wows are playing like bunch of [edited] in Clanbattles or wherever. Btw why dont we let the best formula 1 drivers play football against messi and co.? Or the other way around, im sure they will have a fair chance outside of the thing their are best at. Within what matters in wows and what we are able to prove, its actually correct.

Thats 50%, not 60%?

Talking about assuming things...

Then why dont you go play those games? Let the others enjoy wows randoms, because thats 99% of the game anyway...

Apperently it matters so much to you, that you keep making threads about it on a weekly base Then why dont you make your own clan and get all the superunicums to play with you - because you apparently are one of them? Ofc you cant join their clan, because noone would take your word for it... So prove us wrong, win whatever tournament is coming up next. How about KotS?

So lets say 20 people with 60% WR only play amongst each other... they will keep 60% WR?
