Because the mouth breather with 40% WR and 2k avg damage really did a lot to win 4 oiut of 10 games. well deserved fpr his hard work. only 2.1 games below an Unicum. Thats it. newsflash: winning 5 out of 10 is pretty much a given if you didnt stick a combination of glue and crayons into all your breathing holes. Which actually means, a 50% guy wins 0.0 games out of 10, while the one unicum is able to influence the match outcome between 24 players in 1 out of 10 cases. and THATS it.

Ty :) I actually broke 200k like 2 weeks ago with Henri and had 5 games above 200k since then :D Must have been some kind of psychological barrier that I needed to break XD

You just need to be more in Discord. Senpai @El2aZeR is teaching everyone how to CV there ^^ we are transforming into a CV players clan lulz

We need a "sad" emoji for the forums to react to posts.... man your streak with CVs is not funny anymore :D

20:28: raised personal damage record. .. 21:15: raised personal damage record again

This. And is it me or does it feel like some time ago Mino (and other RN CLs) had a better (but still not awesome) deaccelaration? I could swear they feel heavier these days...

Especially when you are struggeling with Neptune - dont try a radar build. I play Radar on Edin & Mino but on Neptune I still pick smoke. Play it like Fiji but beware of radar and torps. Id like to keep a DD between me and the enemy fleet. That beeing said: Neptune IS powercreeped. Over the years, my influence on the games shrinked as did my WR. The Battlecruisers on T9 shift the balance. You bring a Neptune, that relies on beeing hidden, while the enemy push a Alaska or Kronshtadt in, that tanks and has radar on top. Also: if you dislike Neptune compared to Fiji/Edin, chances are, Mino is not going to be much better for you. Yes, concealment is better but Mino has again other problems. the huge dakka rate makes it much easier for ppl to blind fire you. Expect that to happen much more often then it do to you in Neptune. So dropping the line right there, as Bear suggested, might be an option... No use in forcing something, just play something that suits you more.

I actually wanted to continue the list but forum fucked up , as it didnt even mark El2a properly so I called it quits right there :D

When ppl that call themselfs "CV players": - are atleast equally skilled in other ships and dont use CVs because thats the only way they can survive longer then 2 mins - stop screwing their teams over because they are so bad that 11 other ppl on their team suffer. If one team has you in your Lexington and the other team has @Bear_Necessities or @El2aZer then your team might aswell go to port. just a waste of time to even try. and btw: I dont hate CVs but I hate piss poor players in CVs on MY team. I never flame the enemy CV for beeing good. But ill always call out the CV that im stuck with. Which is rare since these days you need to bring your own CV in a division, because you cant trust any random guy these days. And a DD. And a BB. And a Cruiser. Oh wait...

Yea I saw you played f.e. Umikaze. You never ever WANT to use your guns on a Umikaze. T2/T3 DDs arent fast in comparision either. Its very easy to hit them. With Umikaze you dont really want to use your smoke either. You want to be outside of the enemy detection (as with all IJN DDs pretty much) and use your torps, so that the enemys never see you and thus dont expect to be torps. Ships like Umikaze/Wakatake/Isokaze are 100% Torps only.

Question: what is a "fast destroyer" for you? 95% of the DDs are not supposed to be played as gunboats running in the open and dodging - especially not when you are unexperianced. So what DDs do you play like this?

tbh: I doubt I´d cash in on that (right now). I have everything I need and dont really crave any ship. Yea Asashio or Kidd maybe but im fine without them too.

Meh, seems like WG knows their little paypiggies better then we know ourselfs - they know theyll either get all their money or sell them everything they offer. So no need for refunds

No need for a screen, this happens all the time now.

In game, in the armory, you find a lot of them.

I actually suspect the torp, that hit him, beeing launched from the Yorck

Yes, that IS a problem. And I cant understand this way of thinking. But its maybe a mind-set, that WG is sort of planting in ppl heads? Its almost as if the way to T10 isnt playing the game but a necessity. Grinding a ship, missions, directives, what ever is as much playing the game as anything else. But ive critiziced the behavoir of people in my "why does the exit to port button exit"- topic only recently. There are people, that will only play, when the mm is to their liking. Thats even worse then doing bad in a round, as presented here. Oh, and ill break something to the public now about twilight battles: Everyone that is grinding his a$$ off, playing 15 mins to get a couple of hundred filth out there - here is how you really do it: Select ship - play solo - battle - exit to port right away - next ship - rinse & repeat. You have 2 other guys on your team. They are sure motivated to farm some filth. You get it for free by clicking your mouse 3 times and pass the loading screen - done. This is already happening because of the smart gamemode WG invented. Im just thinking: this should be public. So not only a few guys profit from that. Just do easy farm guys :)

Well its prolly not the best example. And he should hide the names of the 2 guys worse then him, because now it rather looks like a personal attack on them, wheil I think, the point he is trying to make, is rather general. See it like this: there were 3 guys on the team, that contributed pretty much nothing expect beeing easy targets. Yet they won. That way it kinda makes more sense and we can move away from this bashing of who-did-nothing etc. So pretty much what @CptBarney said above.

And what do you concider "doing something"? Banning everyone with <45% WR?

I have a game, that was released down to the month exactly 19 years ago. You wanna know, when I played it the last time? Today. 2 hours ago. Its great fun. Its not the only old game I love and still play. So that argument is moot. Also: you and @Yoshanai for the sake of the discussion please finaly understand that im NOT talking about me. Im NOT talking about CVs exclusivly. Read my innital post again, incase you mist it - I name a ton of other things. Ive made it clear many times that im talking about others and im trying to picture the game from the perspective of a new player. And im worried for the future of the game. And why do I care about the future of the game? Because I hate it like you claim? Does that make sense? Now get of your high horses, understand what im trying to say or dont answer any more.

Nah, the one thing has nothing to do with the other. Listen. You have to see the broader picture and put yourself into the position of a new player, for example. Did you forget, that as a new player, you cant slot signals? you have no captain? And once you get to have one, you have no skillpoints? How are new players suppose to get into the game? How do you expect them to learn, grow and be a vital part of the community in the future? We can all push our egos here showing what great guys we are sinking weaker players 24/7 because we have access and knowledge to things they dont have - and those mechanics / ships are broken to the core. But you know what that ultimatly leads to? Ill leave you a gif, think about it...

Amen to that my brother. Its the plain, honest, hard truth.

Dude, dont try to teach him about how to deal with CVs. Matter of fact, I played mostly DDs since CV rework. And I have a 79% WR on my account in 2019. and He has even more... But still the game is turning into a shitshow. Edit: But maybe its round the other way - that is just another prove the game is effed?

It goes much further then this. IF 75% of the CV playerbase would only be close to his skill level (which is not easy, granted, but not impossible either!) then the game would be dead. Because CVs would dominate every tier even more then Hosho does T4 right now. As simple as dead. There would literally be a bonfire in front of the WG headquarter and ppl would demand to burn Kislyi and SubbO on it.

Just came out of a T4 game. Used to be a Tier I really liked to play. Sealclub CV-Divis with matchmaking monitor (how obvious that they searched the map and once saw me did NOTHING else but focus me the ENTIRE game). Every other player with brain has left this tier range, its obvious as daylight. Totaly stupid DDs are left - taking TORPS from CVs like candy and suiciding into the enemy. So its basically a farm area for wannabe good players in CVs and the poor souls that have no other option then to play T4 aka new players. Well done WG, REALLY REALLY [edited]WELL DONE. And btw @ OP - ill give you credits for trying but you really thing SubbO will come here and discuss with you? ha. But hey - he can always prove me wrong instead of right. I really love it how everything, that SubbO says or does, is 180° against what I would like the game to be. Ofc they cant always do what I want - im not delusional. But during 2019, WG manages to kill everything I loved about the game: Scenarios, T4, T7. Nice things like the Campaingns wont be continued. Yea, cant have something that gives depth and long time content - also for new players that join years after the campaign was originally introduced!! Nah, we need heavy grinds, force you to play 8 hours per day to grab shitty ships so we can stay competetive on high tiers with all the moronic ships that have been introduced hugly in 2019 aswell. And here goes another sunday evening btw, where im pissed after 2 randoms games. And I only went to play randoms games because our clan of 45 people once again couldnt field 8 guys for clanwars - because everyone is fed up with the game. Close World of Warships - open Steam - thats how my sunday evening continues. And this is for you WG Oh yea, I turned totaly off-topic. But at this point - do I look like I care?
