Sounds good but... Missouri, Belfast, Kamikaze, Imperator Nikolai I, Gremyaschi...

or...

Clanbattles

What about your clan?

Well, since he so far didnt get what he wanted - and if he´d lift up one of is old threads, somebody would come and call him a thread-necromancer. So he cant win.

I want to join aswell. Good luck everyone & once again awesome, generous event @lup3s !

I dont really understand the point? Since you own Cossack now - why do you care, whats the price now? Why would you want to buy any more? Am I missing something?

Im not going to give my opinion, what I think about the things, that flamuu does. Quite frankly, im not a fan of him. I was just letting him know, what might happen. It might even be more shocking if some people start to message you in game, laugh about you and what not, because flamuu just humiliated your stats on twitch. Im pretty sure there are people like that around in the stream. And yea, some people will just play and dont care about anything. This is, however, a teamgame, where I cant pick with whom I have to share the next round. So, my personal opinion, in randoms everyone should perform to his best of abilities. If I want to derp around and dont care - ill play Co-Op. Its basically the same game, the same experiance, but you dont piss off other human players with your poor performance.

If you, in a random battle - play a BB - that is one of the fastest on its Tier - do 12k dmg - survive - and lose the round then you played comepltly wrong. There is just no other way of describing it. Its not your team - its you. Now, you can play on like this for 100...500...2000 games until you finaly acknowledge this, or you be an early bird and understand it now, while its still easy to correct your stats and become a decent player. Else, you will sooner or later end up in flamuus stream, where he opens your account live for a couple of thousand people to look at and be the laughing stock.

No, you do not. It might sound harsh, but you are doing horribly. Im just trying to help you understand, what you are doing wrong. *edit Take this advice, its good:

btw: you made a mistake with buying Hood. You are not ready for that ship and Tier 7 yet.

Can you leave this thread? Nobody is interested in your "advice". Quite frankly, your aggressiveness in a super-friendly conversation is more then unwanted. Go troll somewhere else? Id flame you more but you are too boring...

Got my second "will to win" today. Is it really my achievement or is it rather my team beeing trashy?

Yea... they are very different to begin with, as you noticed yourself. I would say: its harder to play a Harugumo but it has way more potential. I guess many people just saw the Harugumo videos of the unicum CCs and thought "ill do this myself" and then failed. Getting deleted in a Haru happens fast if you make a mistake. Which brings us to... Its all about your style. Looking at your stats, it seems like you do well with Kitakaze and the IJN DDs before that in general. You are good with Fletcher too, but many people say, Fletcher is better then Gearing. So if you feel comfortable with the clumsy Harugumo, are confident you can dodge torpedos and know how to deal with beeing shot at while in your smoke: Id suggest Harugumo for you. In addition, I completly agree with what @GulvkluderGuld said, no need to repeat it myself, so keep that in mind aswell.

sigh. Just cuz im bored, ill bite. Not my problem that you didnt manage to score anywhere close to 2 of my 6 Missouri games. My other was 202k. Didnt take a screen, cuz its not that special to me. But you even tried so hard... 2k+ co-op games in BBs. And didnt break 200k. Im sorry, did I hurt your feelings? Also. 141 games in Randoms. What happend? Show us where the mean players touched you, that you hide in Co-Op. You run a pretty big mouth, trying to stat-flame others, for giving such a huge broadside yourself. Might want to rethink that strategy buddy. BlackYeti is absolutly right. I lost a Musashi game, didnt have economy flags nor premium acc and still made +5000 credits. But looking at your stats, I can understand why this sounds like Magic to you. Im pretty sure, neither he nor anyone else will listen to you. I know IanH755 from forums for a long time and I know what he does in Co-Op. Thats why I and the others - unlike you - can give him helpful, valuable informations. btw: Do us all a favor, lead by example and take your own advice, ok? And you dont need to come back and confirm to us. Not having to read you anymore is enough of confirmation for us, thanks...

Play at night, when nobody plays Co-Op anymore. I break 200k with Missouri all the time in that environment (you might lose from time to time tho) Erm... since it even makes profit when you lose, and silver BBs wont even turn a profit without putting real money for a permanent coma in (and even THEN, the maintance fee is higher) when you win, that IS doing awesome from an economy PoV...

A) There is evidence for that. Solid one - a patent, and the fact, its been used in WoT. B) If anything: that algorithm would currently favor the OP, since it lifts bad players Winrates by placing them together with better players. So he couldnt use it as a scapegoat, its rather round the other way - his performance is even lower then what his WR shows. Which I would argue anyway. He doesnt deserve 46% WR with his stats. C) I doubt he will take any advice, no matter what you say to him. He is putting full blame on his team, while having 6000+ random games with all red numbers. At the same time, he is talking about becoming a "great player". Im pretty sure, he wont reply here anymore nor will he upload a replay. He is welcome to prove me wrong tho.

Then again: Does it matter is such or any sort of algorithm exists? Just pretend, that you go handicaped into every round and are expected to carry. Its what I do. Its also not true always. I also have games, where I hardly need to do anything and my team carries me to victory. Then there are games, where I only need to carry my own weight and things go their way to a win pretty smooth. I didnt play that many games the last week and I can recall those 11 games pretty good. 3 of them were super-hard-carry (one failed, i needed 10...15 sec more, then it would have been a win), 3 games I hardly had to do anything and the rest scatters in between. So 3-5-3, which is pretty much inline with the broader picture of Winrates, that people have in this game? Even the worst player would have atleast won 3 or 4 out of those games, if he would have been in my place, placing him somewhere between 30~40% WR. Many players, that cant carry, would have landed somewhere between 45~55% and only the players, that can carry games, could have achieved 60%+ WR in those games. Nah, I dont think so. A loss is still a loss. Ranked has sort of that mechanic and its still frustrating to lose when you come #1 and save the star.

Read about the matchmaking algorithm, that WG has invented. Its calculating a battlelevel for each player. If this is used in wows (not confirmed, it is used in WoT tho), it does mean the following: It will balance the team by giving both teams overall a similar battlelevel. In logic that means, players with a higher battlelevel with be put togehter with players of a lower battlelevel. Since the battlelevel is calculated by damage, games played in a ship, winrate etc... that means, the better you get, the worse are the players in your team. Or atleast: the better the enemys will be. So better players are expected to carry harder and thus work harder for their wins. This has nothing to do with how much you spend on the game or any of that thing. It would explain your observation tho.

Many good players simply dont play YY anymore, that is impacting the stats aswell, have to keep that in mind. My survivabilityrate in DDs after the rework is a nice, straight 90%. Same as the WR :) When did the vast majority ever care about those kind of changes? Bottomline: most of them dont even know. Its hard to tell, what part of the community is following the news around the game so active, that they know and act upon balancing-changes - 20%? Isnt it interesting, were we come from? I mean the same shell once did ~14.000 to a DD, then ~4.500 and now ~1.400. At the same time, new DD lines got more and more health. 20.300 on Z-52 and 20.800 on Daring. Compared to a Zao, that has 40.800, is spotted way more often and still takes those ~14.000 hits from BB AP. I mean, we dont have to discuss the citadel on DDs, that was just plain wrong. But this recent change in mechanics is a little bit like opening pandoras box. One could make a case not only for Zao but even more for low-tier cruisers. A Karlsruhe needs only 2 shells in his cita from a Texas or alike to be deleted. Is that fair, in comparision? You dont even need to shoot AP at low-tier cruisers. Take an Orion, spam HE all day long - if you keep the distance to 13 km+, its even better. You´ll disable engines all the time on cruisers, that have max ranges of 11 to 13 km. They just sit dead in the water without the capability to shoot back. And you got the advantage of having the correct ammu loaded, if a DD pops up. It suggestst, that HE is the better choice for BBs. Im going very far out now, but imo, these things all connect. Its all teaching players bad behavoirs and we see people complaining about that left and right. Like the back-camping, HE-shooting BBs. And even the YOLO-DDs. I personally think, the survivability of cruisers is too low, especially when you compare it to DDs. For a long time already my survivabilty has been better in DDs then in CL/CAs. The recent change just increased the difference.

Im surprised, so few have brought up the stats? You dont get the rubbish team, you make the rubbish team... and the first and only way to get better, is to acknowledge, that you are the problem! The combination of you avarage damage, kills, PR and WR shows: its indeed you. I have almost the same avarage damage with my T3 ships then you have with your T9 ships. And I dont have a high avarage damage myself to begin with... Upload a few of your replays and show us screenshots of your HUD if you really are looking for advice to get better. Your logic is... well explain my Winrate then? Especially the recent?

Easy, add me, @DFens_666 and @NothingButTheRain to your ingame contact. we play operations all the time and are looking for competent people to fill our teams all the time.

You could just try and get the free XP faster? Not sure how you are on signals, but switching to Operations for a while should give you enough free XP to get Musashi this way before its removed. I know you dont have a problem with making ships work economically but ill still mention it: Musashi makes a lot of credit even in Co-Op without economy signals. So there would be no reason to play Yamato in Co-Op anymore, when you have Musashi.

No way. I wanted to respec yesterday evening after the session, but was too tired. Thinking "ah, you got all the time in the world tomorrow..."
