Dont hurt your back while moving that goalpost all around the field.

@Bear__Necessities cant? He just did... funny that we have another neutral forumite as a witness. Feel free to tag him and ask him how much counter play the Halland, played by a super unicum, had?

Now he will say "HaRaKaZe DiDnT eVeN sAnK" or "HaRaKaZe HaS nO gOoD aA" - Yea, because AA matters and because he was hiding on the map border behind his cap (it was standard battle) and he didnt made any efford anymore to stop me. I was in that game too.

All your post did, was exposing @Vardog even more. Because up on this page, he stat shames someone with hiddes stats. Such as you. Oh and PS: my solo WR is 3% higher then his. In the only field that matters. Ranked :) And that you dont use your own stats, tells me enought about you :D Nice try tho. Almost. Wanna try again?

Nice arguments you have there @Vardog - oh no wait. it was just an entire post of stat shame with no arguments at all. thinking, because you have higher WR then them, you are right. Alright buddy, ill use your own logic. You know diddely-squat because im almost 10% ahead of you on WR. now bow down to your master. Thats your logic you know. Lets see if you fail your own standard?

Its indeed crazy talk. Id like to refer to my own post above - On your screen its even visible, that this player played T4/T5 and thats where he decided to accelerate. Why? Prolly because he was constantly beeing ***** by CVs. Which makes sense, that he bought a premium CV himself because the game tought him "this class is strong". So stop hating on the individual players when its the current state of the game forcing you to make these moves!

Well, if you thought it was boring because of this back then, then you sure would "love" this season ^^

Imo its even fair game to use a T8 CV for this example. Could be worse. Imagine Hosho in heavy T3 and ask the same question again.

Alright guys, ill try to give another perspective here. So some guys here argue, that new players rush through the tiers too fast. Leaving aside the point, if its players choice, whaling or too easy these days, ill ask you guys one question: where should the new guys learn the game? I used to give the advice to go back on tiers and learn the game from scratch. I dont do it anymore because its not realistic. Learn on T1/T2? There is only so much you can learn there. Also we have some lans around, that club on T1 in 3x divisions. I suppose you run into them quite often if you decide to play T1/T2. T3? Sure, you will constantly be in half full games with 2x CV, many of them also clubbing. And please dont say "new players have protected matchmaking" - this is the first 75 games. Thats nothing. T4? Same as above. The only think you learn is how CVs in this game work. T5? prolly somewhat workable. Depening on the class. Cruiser? Would you like to slow grind a Königsberg without CE and other captain perks for days to come? More then half of the games beeing in T7 environement, not to mention CVs? T6? Same as T5. But you start to get into T8 area. Which means you will also face the first big boys with their Enterprise f.e. T7? yea sure. with the improved matchmaking, facing T8/T9 all the time. BBs bow plating getting overmatched, DDs concealment beeing nowhere near competetive against higher Tier DDs. Want to fight as a Yorck against Alaska or Kronshtadt as a new player? You cant learn the game here. Starting T8 we are in hightier gameplay anyway so need to discuss if its possible to learn the game here. So honestly, how can you advice a new player to take it slow and learn the game at one specific low/mid tier? It doesnt work anymore. You enter the hell at Tier 3 and it prolly feels better to reach 40 % WR with a premium T8 BB and 30k avg damage then Hoshos constantly having their way with your Wyoming. Only way out is: rush up the tiers or buy a premium ship. I wouldnt want to be a new player in 2020.

The thing is this: they can hardly call a blanket violation of rules, if there are 2 (or more) members of the same clan in one game. The entire thing is, once again, more complex then you would think. I do meet clanmates regulary in coop or even randoms. Most of those times - we dont even know of each other playing right now. Ive been in the same game AND on the same side even in ranked sprint with another clanmate while I was even in a division! So we were 3 on one side and many of the enemy team flamed us, reported us, what ever. My division had no idea that the other guy was playing ranked aswell at that time and neither did he. So it can just happen. Then, you say: why dont WG implement a check, that forbids to put same clan players in the same game? Because it wouldnt solve a thing if people were attempting to rig. Many clans have 2 or even more seperate clans. Many guys know each other across clans and play together. The system could never identify that. Matter of fact: No player in the game could ever spot it! lets say you and me, we are going to rig Ranked. We meet in Discord, teamspeak, whatever and we sync drop. How could anyone spot it? its just random guys, one NWP clan, another FAM. or we take a third guy in so we make sure atleast 2 are on the same side and the 3rd sacrifies, activly playing against his team, voice comming infos to us. I have so many people from different clans in my friends list I could ask to be the thrid guy. Which would add someone with clantag [___] to the mix. Nobody could spot it, no automatic system could spot it and neither could you proof it with replays (you´d have to have a suspicion first aswell to look for things like that). Also, 3 guys from the same clan, planning to massiv rig ranked: 2 could just leave the clan. then its random noobies without a clantag. How would it be suspicous? Exactly, it wouldnt. So the question: How to ban syncdropping? you cant. You cant even spot it while happening. It might happen all the time around you and you never notice it.

Not sooo much actually. His experiance is hugly influenced by all the free stuff WG is throwing at him + the things he has accumulated on his account. So saying that he needed 29 battles to get to T10 doesnt translate to most other people (you also need good games to pump up the modifier for the XP, aka need a lot of base XP). And one other thing: He actually needs 0 games to get to T10. So the point is kinda moot. As a conclusion, I agree with that. Not necessarily with (all) the points you made to draw this conclusion, but at the end of the day, that doesnt matter. Those guys are, at this point, doing it for the money. They leech on the community because they have no other means to make this amount of money in their life. Its just the way it is. If they wouldnt pull that amount of cash out of their activity, many of them would have prolly quit a long time ago. Nevertheless, they set the example for the community and its a bad one (2nd time I write it today).

Because it was rare to non-existant about 3 years ago. These day, its a common sight. Yesterday you could witness in this very forum a guy reaching T10 Yamato with a couple of hundred games, making his first post, about how dissapointing the Yamato is, that he was expeting to win everytime now, because he is in a T10 now - and a couple of minutes later, the avatar/nick changed to "deleted user". So how is this helping the game in the long run?

User Error

The thing is: he is setting an example. Can you imagine, how many **** are going to copy this now? Its the same when flamuu was bored with a game and exited to port while still alive. After that, the incidents of people going afk during the game, that ive witnessed, skyrocketed. Talking about lead by example huh.

So the guys with <400 PR play among themselfes but with the same rewards in some kind of parallel ranked universe?

Yea, there are always some people, that are egocentric or simply ignore everything you say. And we all dislike em. But Ive also developed the habbit to just go with what other people suggest (unless its really stupid), because following a mediocre plan is still better then no plan.

Try to communicate with the random people on your team? I do it all the time and usualy there are a few that are willing to. Remember, we are all in the same boat (pun) so others might feel the same way.

It is working fine. He made 586 base XP, thats what it recorded and he needed 900. Nothing to see here.

Eh hard to give an answer to that really. Stick with what you are comfortable and what suits the meta imo? Havent played the last few days cuz no time so I dont know what ships are plays a lot at the moment. Just analyse the last games, check, which ships/classes are most played and whats the best counter to that (and if you feel comfortable with that). Too much self doubts are not good, imo. Either quit, if you think its you, or play with confidence.

Havent you got the memo? Good players cant be stat shamed. They can literally be thrown in the dirt & insulted to the bone. But it cant be stat shaming since their stats are good - need a certain emoji from our Discord right now. Try posting a screenshot from OPs stats and either say nothing or try make a constructive point why he experiance the game the way he does and feel the wrath tho. Argh. Might already have said to much, its getting cold here. Must be Sibiria getting closer... So topics like these are virtually impossible to discuss unless the policy around here changes. Because SOMEONE with good stats will come along, making a reasonable post and then will have his own stats torn apart in an attempt to ridicule him. Thats exactly what happened here. Im so out of this... like Sure dude. im sure, since this is what ALWAYS happens, you dont have any problem to quick find one quote, where someone of the good players literally says "you have to kill all 12 red players if not you suck". Dont reply to me with anything other then a quotation of such case.

Im with you on that one. I dont have a problem with +/- 2 mm but one cant turn a blind eye on some of the, lets call it effects, it brings along. You mentioned one, which is the overmatching on T7 BBs. Id like to add the concealment of T7 DDs, which is horrible, when paired against T8+ DDs. For almost all DDs, concealment means everything. Then you get outspotted by higher tier DDs, who arer faster, have more health, better guns... etc. horrible situation, T7 DDs like Maass or Mahan suffer a lot because of that. I wouldnt play either of them voluntarily in randoms. And thats a problem. In theory, you should be able to pick any ship in the game and not be afraid to shoot your own foot (leaving aside personal preference or, well, incompetence aswell). But as you say: even +/- 1 mm wouldnt solve that. But WG COULD solve the problem, if they wanted to. You could simply give T7 DDs (and T6 and lower ofc) lower base concealment, so they are competetive with the T8+ DDs, that have access to the concealment module. Or, you remove the concealment module for DDs as a whole and adjust the concealment across all tiers to be on pair. So now the conclusion: - This is a situation, that exists since the concealment module exists (same for the BB overmatch situation, its here ever since the plating is the way it is) - so forever - WG is either so incompetent, that they do not understand their own game even in such rather obvious matters OR its done intentionally. - Since they can hardly be THAT stupid - it must be intention. Thus nothing is going to change. - Why would they do it? Ofc to push people up the tiers. Buy free XP to skip the rotten ships/tiers. Buy the shiny T9 BB that you always lose against because it is faster, has reload boost, better concealment, better armor - you name it. It is what it is.

Well, at some point and in some situations, you just have to admit, that you´ve been outplayed. Thats absolutly fine and its actually a sign of light at the end of the tunnel, that people teamplay and cover each other (ill take your word for it now). Would you be happier, if everyone just yolo suicides, camps or dotn care at all about nothing? Nah I think you would be crying about stupid players. And please dont argue with "the matchmaker should destribute evenily" etc. no. it shouldnt. There is a reason why some people pick bad ships for ranked - cuz they dont know better. And the matchmaker should unter NO circumstances cuddle these players and put them ALWAYS in the team with the better ships to even it out. Which would mean, you give worst players, that are dragging their feet, way better chances to reach rank 1, while making it harder for the good players. Sorry bro, you just have to admit defeat on this chain of argument.

The Belfast, Sinop and Indianapolis, that faced my Gneisenau one game and thought they are really smart, sure thought like you. I guess they would disagree with you now.

No, it shows, that you have no idea what you are talking about. But the same way, you completly missinterpret the feedback given to you via the reactions, you also fail to analyze the games situation in that post. So it seems to be something, you might want to work on. Looks like a continous problem. Just another example of a one-dimensional-thinking. You prolly also think, russian radar is OP since it has 12km range and thats super unfair for Khaba because it only has 6 km torps right.

More in line with Ognevoi and Grozovoi. I never understood why you lose 2 km torp range coming from Ognevoi. and lets face it: 8 km on T9 is really bad. I like the change.
