But still its not reliable! You cannot apply this on caps without cover and thats where my question was mainly pointed at! What you said is obviously true but again,even on scenarios with cover islands sometimes you cannot help it ,mostly because of the reds flanking the cap from 2 sides so you will get shot from somewhere. I have been playing the benson for a week,working on improving my positioning and damage and training my captain for the 15th skill point so i am not the most qualified to provide proper counter-arguments here. But what i can say from my so far experience is :If for whatever reason you get spotted by radar/hydro you are gonna loose at least 30% of your hp most of the times. You can still be aggressive with 70% hp and outfight enemy dds but eventually,just because that radar ship wasnt taken care of early on , you are forced to a more passive play that doesnt benefit you and your team.And that's my,and i guess OPs,problem! Another problem is that if you try from the beginning to play passive,all the team will go passive.And you loose before you start. So,to my understanding,i need to be aggresive and i need them to take care of radar/hydro ships the moment they are spotted!

Apologies to OP but i am gonna derail the thread for a while@Barkyro : Wanna elaborate on how i can reliably be able to deal with radar?

-What is the xp modifier for winning a match? For example,if i loose a match and i got 900xp,how much would i get if the match was won?

i feel sorry for your loss Edit:He is not complaining about radar.He is complaining about sh1theads who cant shoot radar cruisers even if they are broadside to them at 7km holding a sign that says : Please shoot,free citadels"

I am fairly sure i tried to check his stats before i post but they were hidden.Checking again 2day proved me wrong.Sigh..It was meant mostly as a joke and not as an insult , so you dont have to wall of text me mister

Do you even dd bruh ?!

As a dd captain,yes radars and hydros annoy the frack outta me and every time i get spotted by one i rage like there is no tomorrow. BUT the truth is: -It was my bad position that got me killed/wasted my hp -It was my poor knowledge of what ships have it and which not. -It was my fault for not paying attention on cruiser positions/distances. -It was my fault for doing the same mistake again and again! Try whenever possible to keep islands between you and enemy cruisers. If you expect them to use it,have an escape root ready Try to remember or write down what ships have used it. Also,in my opinion radar mechanic is annoying as frack but complaining about it doesnt make us any better than the average BBabies that we see on the forums. If you take radar out or nerf it then what is the point of cruisers?

Welcome aboard!

Shaka ,in all due respect: This thread is like a sunbeam in a very cloudy day. After the sh1tstorm that has been going on on the forums the past days its great to see an initiative like this. My guess is that expert wasnt used to promote elitism or any crap like that but used in a more liberal way. No1 is gonna check and analyse the stats of those who answer to decide if they are experts or not. My liberal interpretation is :If you feel that your answer absolutely covers the question in every possible way,go ahead and post it.If you are unsure,dont. There is no need to create more drama than we already have!

In motha russia they pay you to play

How does ramming work? Excellent answer from this thread http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/63867-ramming-damage-is-just-absolutely-stupid/page__st__20#topmost

I second the index idea and a huge bravo for the OP! -Why do i get spotted when i am behind islands where no enemy ship has visual on me or no radar/hydro has been used? -Why i cant see ships shooting at me from the distance? -Why even when i not die i have to pay credits for repairs? Some of the most common i hear/see around!

Well,i guess it all comes down to how many press accounts exist and how often they are used. If they are a lot and are used often,then they need to be restricted to t5/6. If not,i m sorry for your bad luck

You can either choose an instant properly working solution or wait a couple of months in case you get a hotfix,which probably wont happen. However , i do agree with you.There are many things that could have been natively in the game but are not

Google " aslain modpack". Download the mod,and select one of the zoom out mods. Just scroll down when you cant see the indicator and you ll get a better fov

Did you even bother to check when his account was created?

What he says is that premium people who dont have to pay for repairs are not afraid to push,brawl,ram,whatever, in order to win. What i think he is missing , is the recent changes in the economy

If implemented properly it can be epic. But i highly doubt it. Keep believing,you never know!

Well..If anyone gets torped its his and only his fault.Either you sail in a straight line or you got ambushed.Either case your fault.If someone gets torp sniped from 15-20km,again his fault.Well,i m not talking specifically about you but for captains in general so dont take this as an offense. I am not very sure what you mean on point 3 but you might wanna give a read on how proximity spotting works.http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/49421-new-spotting-mechanics-guide-rework-patch-055/ Personally i really dont care about the historical accuracy of the game.Although i agree ,for different reasons,that it would be very nice to stop treating the game as an arcade shooter. A last important note.Why does hardcore bb player equals hate towards dds?Did you ever try to cooperate with them?Because as a dd captain i love it when my team backs me up on caps and on spotting/killing enemy dds.And , well,to be fair i do hate most bb captains not because of the ship but because of the stupidity and incompetence.

As i said,i voted yes not for team battles,since after 1k matches i never had issues with intentional tking but only because they need to improve the tk penalty system. Fair is a kinda relative term. Assume that me and your friends start getting punished. What will happen then? We will be forced to get better situational awareness and improve our decision making. Sh1t out of our control,or because of forced situations will still happen but overall we will improve our skill. And thats a good thing! Also there should be a "forgive" mechanic where the player who took friendly damage because of his fault chooses to forgive the "offender".

Voted yes for the same reasons as mtm78. Also being pink should have medium to severe penalties that increase the more tks you get. To be honest ,in almost 1000 matches i havent encountered intentional team killing ever. What i have seen though is pure hate towards the pinks from the whites so i assume there must be something wrong. I have been pink 7-8 times so far. 3 because of bad torps when learning the game and twice because of bad inter-division communication while brawling in narrow spaces. As i usually try to save , by smoking up, friendly bbs and cruisers i end up scratching their ship sides with mine,because since there is no real harm,i dont really care if it qualifies for team damage. Add to that all these times a bb or cruiser drove into my smoke,point blank,infront of me while shooting my guns and you can guess how i got the rest. What i am trying to say is that ,yes there should be heavier penalties for TKing but not everyone on pink is to be blamed as an intentional teamkiller.

Seriusly. Is this what the ranked battles experience is supposed to be? [edited] Bring your set together. Start by fixing the [edited]matchmaking system. Every single [edited]match in random mode ends with 1 side 1.2k+ base xp and the other sub 700. Thats the [edited]you wanna promote as fun and engaging gameplay? Find a [edited]way to equalize teams both in terms of player skill and ship types. If every [edited] wants to camp and snipe or yolo let them do it with others in the same mindset. If people wanna be carried to wins without [edited]trying let them have that game experience with others of the same mindset. About ranked. A dd [edited] in maps with 1 or 2 flags? Seriusly you put 4 freaking bensons and 3 bbs versus 4 freaking bensons and 3 bbs to do [edited]what?wasd torps? What kind of skill do you measure that way? What is the point of [edited]ranks if its just the same [edited] from random mode? Ranked matches promote and require nothing. Its just keep trying till season ends and hope your teams have less [edited]then the other team. Both Random and Ranked modes are a huge failure. There are [edited]people out there who when they enter a match consider: -Island layout and how it allows or discourages to attack and defend certain flags. -People who look what their team needs and try to provide it. -People who work for the objectives no matter the cost. -People who [edited]respect their teams efforts and needs. -People who dont [edited]play to pew pew boom [edited]up but actually try to work as a team with strangers to win. -People who will almost constantly analyze each situation in both personal and team aspect and try to make the best out of . Give us team battles or any other game mode that will allow that kind of people to play the way they want and not force them in stupid situations. This game is more like chess than an arcade shooter. Start treating it that way.

What i meant is :To unlock a tier 8 ship you have to do,lets say, 300 battles. I think this is enough time to learn your ship and how to play it. Not very sure what you understood

First of all, the MM can wait a bit more than 10 sec to create the teams and the equalizing algorithm needs adjustments. It has already been discussed on other threads on how it works and where its flaws are. Second,remove the swears from the from the post and point by point tell me where you disagree. Because at the moment we are looking at the tree and missing the forest. I of course accept the blame for the swears but not for playing almost exclusively dds or going ranked with a fubu.Especially since its my only t8 atm. I do agree that i dont really think its a wise choice for several reasons i have no control over,but its my only choice. And like Jengkins said earlier, i second to get a class cap on ranked for the next season. Since dds roles very generally speaking ,among other things, are, and correct me if i am wrong , to spot,cap and damage, more than 2 dds on ranked and 3 on random per side defeats the classes purpose and utility. Even on the bb weekend past week i didnt see any random matches with 7bb +cruisers/dds versus 7bb + cruisers/dds.At any time within the event, the queue always had like 200-300 battleship captains waiting to be matched yet bb numbers where the same as when the bb event was not live. So,i am sorry but you are wrong.The problem is not the high number of dd captains.Its the MM. No more 2 carriers per side on up to t7 matches and no more than 3 dds per side has already been shared in a suggestion thread a couple of weeks ago. What remains constant is:For players who see more to the game than "lets yolo pew pew boom sh1t up" the game provides no quality at all. And that,plus the inability of the matchmaker to equalize teams in terms of ship types and player skill properly,plus the meaningless game modes is what feeds my anger.

Remove the swears and you ll have the constructive critisism. The problem is the foundation of the MM system and not the many dd captains.
