If this statement were true that affects the game how? It's Coop... no way you should lose even if you have only four players... And not once yesterday in any of my Coop runs did I see static stationary ships...

OP is your computer up to spec? Is you internet up to spec? If yes to the above run the repair program...

Why do you need repair? You can heal most of the fire damage you receive... flags and skills cut the fire damage even further and you can heal +20% with another flag... If you know that there is a Thunderer within range of you to be in its range means you're not positioned correctly. The minute I see a Thunderer fire I cut my speed to zero and usually avoid the worst of the damage... If you see the enemy team has a high HE potential play accordingly.

Okay, so I used the wrong word.... Sue me Rewards.... suit you better?

I had 14 Tier X Ships: From 14 Super Containers the best bits: The Sims. 50,000 Free XP. 14 days Premium time. 1,500 Steel Some nice flags and Camos... Pretty happy with my haul. (Rewards)

+5 to AP damage... I never use AP. and IFHE becomes a 3 point skill... I never use IFHE... So, does this mean that secondaries on all sides do damage? Can you sink a ship via secondaries on the opposite side to those you have directed? For example: You have a Kagero on your port side on to which you lock your secondaries and on your starboard side a Cossack emerges, do your non directed secondaries have the potential to kill the Cossack whilst your targeted secondaries deal with the Kagero?

The game has been running long enough for the absolute morons to have made the higher tiers now... and those who are new but emerge into the high tier games by buying their way in... I enjoy the game, I want to win, I do my utmost to help that...... I then encounter players who by rights aren't even capable of playing Snakes and Ladders never mind WOW's... and I am encountering them more and more with each passing week.

@Europizza I only had three DD games yesterday and in each game there were no less than three radar Cruisers and like your games they were nearly all still alive when the game ended. As a DD main, in the third game, it was no support no spot, no caps... then when they said I wasn't pushing I replied. 'Are you fcking blind or stupid there are three radar cruisers to my front'.... (Chat ban) This is happening all too frequently now in all DD games Tier VIII or higher.

I had the same yesterday in three consecutive Halland games... First game nobody for the whole game attempted to target two enemy Stalingrads or Des Moines... result was my three allied DD's dead in under nine minutes and I was eventually killed at 15 minutes after being pinned. Second game, again the team left the 4 radar Cruisers intact... all DD's including myself dead in 13 minutes. Third and final game, I am trying to cover the right flank, there is a Salem, a Donskoi and a Wooster to my front.... the three BB's and two Cruisers right behind me focus on the three Red BB's which I am trying to keep spotted.... they then complain I don't push... after that encounter... with the reply I gave them, I have a 24 hour chat ban and just turned off the game... This is happening every day and I am reaching the point where it is becoming hopeless... I sort of know within 5 minutes of the game if my team has the correct brain for the game...

Or may be they don't and use it to boost their WR because as we know WR is all....

But the increase of CV play was the reason for 8.0... WG wanted more than just a 10% take up. But, WG haven't realised, if they frighten off the new players with walls of CV players in the lower tiers the new players will just leave the game as they have no real ties to it so then who fills the gaps of players who have played for years when they leave the game? Eventually you'll only have CV players left.

WG will eventually kill a very successful and enjoyable game... 8.0 was their first big blunder and now in my opinion Subs will be their second. The CV rework killed my clan.. all the players who left the game were the ones who regularly spent money.

Nothing about this game surprises me anymore mate.

I have noticed that too... When I was helping out a friend new to the game the lower tiers were absent real live players. In one game played 7 of 12 team members were Bots. Either the game is losing players or new players are buying their way forwards (Which explains the dire performance of some high tier premium ship captains)... This will not do WG (WOW's) any good in the long run.

I didn't bring up PR it was another Ally totally frustrated with the camper who did, I haven't even researched his stats. So what's your point?

Ranked out with a 64% WR... even with some Maris Pipers and Marfona... had some excellent game.. The amount of carries necessary for victory was higher than normal. Last game against: Sov Soyuz, Jean Bart and Kitakaze it falls on Mashum to take out the enemy DD and Sov Soyuz whilst giving JB a tickle... leaving a simple ram for allied FDG who didn't waste the opportunity. Allied IOWA couldn't hit a Barn door at 5 feet and was dead within 5 minutes... Rank 1, 10,000 Coal, yeha!!

I am beginning to find the high tier games frustrating to say the least.... In fact some of the games I have had recently are really beginning to turn off the enjoyment factor for this game... For example: I am in my Halland yesterday and in this one game, A GK ally parks up behind an island for the whole game never moving until late in the game and only to reposition themselves to avoid detection; another player as equally vexed as I was saying the GK player had a 718pr, A Shimakaze ally barrels into two spotted radar cruisers with the obvious result, A Pomern ally decides to show full broadside to the enemy Jean Bart and is dead in literally one salvo... and the Zao decides to patrol the map edge... I am tired of just being in a game, trying to do my utmost for the win, to face yet another defeat because I am in team populated by absolute fools...

Against BB's or Cruisers, as a BB if I can, I aim for the waterline just behind the first set of turrets and as I fire I lift my sights through the salvo...

Lose your DD's and you will lose the game...

That's just wiped out how many of the WOW's population?

I had the same today in my Halland. I refused to cap because had the enemy radar been close I would have been detected and most likely sunk. However, spotting from the enemy flank I turned 3 oncoming enemy ships and even managed to land some torpedo hits... I then continued spotting (five ships in total) of which all but one were sunk. I then capped a safer cap, sank an enemy DD and put paid to a GK with torps causing 21k flooding before an allied BB nailed him.. I get to port to see -6 Karma... It's like players think DD's has such great health pools that they can play recklessly.

Sometimes I despair... I cap, I spot and I kill but that isn't good enough.... I refuse to enter a cap that would see me destroyed if radar gets me as there is no room to move nor easy escape so I spot for the whole team and in doing so three ships who would have otherwise moved up the up 8-10 lines to create havoc are turned and they flee back the way they came. Thanks to my Spotting, Edinburgh and Tirpitz are sunk within minutes (Tirpitz also ate a few Halland torps in the process)... ARP Takao goes running and actually ends up as last ship standing. So I continue spotting and the enemy Pommern goes next.. On then to a cap I can safely take and I torpedo the GK making him an easy kill for the team with 3 torpedo hits and 21k flooding... Ostergotland burst onto the scene and I quickly sink him with my guns... I take the cap and the game is won... My Karma drops 6 points...

First Random Game with my Pomern... I think I did rather well to be fair. I held off 6 ships with a Z-46 sinking two of them before being nailed by Montana. I say that was a good trade off.

I got mine with Coal.. so I have not used any coin to buy her. She isn't that bad for a Tier 9 and the torpedoes do catch out the unwary... Also, as she is a premium ship you can use any of your BB captains on her without cost.

So I have decided to brush the cobwebs off my Yugumo and take her out for a jaunt. Random it is then... From the outset of the game one of my team tells me my choice of DD sucks given the obvious superiority of the enemy DD's. We are apparently going to lose... Game starts and we have two AFK ships, a FDG who never shows for the entire game and a Somers who turns up after 9 minutes... We have the usual weekend island campers and it looks like the prophecy of defeat may be accurate.. But wait, you've not seen Mashum at play yet... so off I go supported by a Tallinn who stayed with me the entire game (Bless his Cotton Socks, he was lovely) So, the doomsayer aside and ignored, armed with 8km @ 80 knot torpedoes equipped with TRB Mashum goes on the hunt.. I take the C cap with Tallinn and after a minute or so my first target is the Amalfi who thinks that he can just do as he pleases without consequence and he succumbs tamely to my second torpedo salvo perhaps not understanding that this DD, Mashums DD, has TRB... I then spot the Moskva who has tried to use the main Island for cover and keep it spotted long enough for it to be sunk well out of range of its radar. Odin is my next target as he comes charging to defend the Moskva and he takes a full salvo to the belly and dies... Whilst this is all happening the enemy Halland decides to try to break through to my port side... I ain't having none of that, how dare he think that I will let him get away with that, spotting him I quickly send him down with my guns. (Hallands only consolation was getting two torpedo hits on the AFK FDG taking his health down to 6k)... So it's 3 down and after retaking the C cap I am clear, i am free and in the open behind the enemy team keeping them all spotted... like shooting Ducks in a barrel honest...Tallinn holds back with 900hp after receiving a drubbing from one of the three BB's near A and at some point the afk Somers has come into the game and after taking a quick kill he is torn apart by the enemy Thunderer... I shall avenge you, cries Mashum, and indeed Thunderer falls to my torpedoes... after burning for a while... I do love a Bar-B-Q you know don't you.... A moist flank of Thunderer cooked to a turn... dammit no Ketchup. Now, considering that I held the flank with Tallinn, sank 4 enemy ships, kept the Halland from breaking through, do you think I got a well played, a +1.... Not on your life... Miserable Gitz.
