I had one a while back who I ran into in two consecutive games.. Reported to WG with the Video evidence of two games and they acted straight away (As if they had had suspicions already).. I had a reply within 15 minutes that they were taking action... The cheat, the player seemed to be immediately alerted that torpedoes were fired at him and every torpedo fired missed. Game 1: I stayed with this player for almost 15 minutes of the game after I became suspicious. the very second I launched torpedoes he moved and avoided them.. the player avoided 60 torpedoes without a single one hitting him... 12km @ 70 knots. Game 2; The suspect player launched opposite side to me and my DD ally complained repeatedly that he suspected this guy was cheating because he changed direction the minute torpedoes were launched. Now, obviously with a DD concealed there should be no possible way that a target can know the instant a torpedo is launched hence the report... Thankfully in the 4 years playing this game I have only come across a suspicious player twice....

Welcome to the new breed of WG player... OP thinks thus; If I torpedo and they hit you it's your fault because you didn't plan for the torpedoes I am going to fire... God help us when the OP hits the higher tiers...

As a DD main I am doing pretty well... I have adapted to the Nevsky and her near stealth radar.. I am at the moment enjoying my new Halland with her 95knot torpedoes (Haven't lost a game in her yet) and with careful attention to the mini map I can usually avoid the attentions of the CV... I am NOT afraid to retreat for AA cover. Regardless of the disadvantages of RL the advantage of having means I am usually a step ahead of my enemy and have had great success with blind fire torpedoes (Nailed 2 DD's on an Epicentre map a few days ago firing blind just using my RL)... You must be patient in todays DD play, you must at all times watch the mini map and in todays game it isn't necessarily important for DD's to hit the caps early... if you have a switched on team a DD spotting takes precedence, you light them up and watch the big guns take them down. Don't chase the enemy CV ever because unless allied air is close the CV knows that a DD is near and he will hunt you... if you die the team loses a vital part of its attack. I still play close and fast with my torpedoes ( 8km @ 80 knots for my T9 and T10 IJN torpedo boat line) and TRB always when possible. I am also improving with my Kitakaze and Haragumo (My WR on these is up).. and applied this to my Halland play style with great sucess... I also have a level 19 Captain for my Shimakaze who equips 6.4km torpedoes @ 85 knots for when I am really up for a scrap... no ship escapes those and usually 10 hits will finish anything big apart from the Kremlin. In a team of twelve you can only really rely on one ship... your own... if the team is bad you do your best and move on.

Always... because in a team of 12 I am the only person I can rely on....

But, don't let that fool you.... I still hunt them...

As a DD main I fear Alaska more than any of those you have listed. I also have Alaska and she is a powerful Cruiser (I have had only a few battles in her)..

The 'Ronsons' also known as the 'Tommy Cooker' were festooned with bits of track, metal and yes even logs in the hope that they would deflect the dreaded 88mm shell...

Usually by tier 6 or 7 you should have a grasp of how things work for BB's. Cruiser Tier 8 onward and the same for DD's...

WG successfully dumbed the game down enough... I can imagine him glued to his computer chair screaming obscenities at his computer monitor whilst hitting the keyboard with his head... 'Betrayed, 6 torpedoes no rewards, betrayed WG ripped me off , betr...... oh Random' ..........Silently moves from his chair to the bathroom.... Next year it'll be even worse when the five year olds come in....

As a DD main I was wondering how members of the forum would equip a Worcester captain who has 15 points? Thank you in advance. Stay Safe.

Had an encounter with @MrWastee and two of his clan members... Played my FDG as no DD play for Mashum at the moment as I am sick and tired of lately facing sometimes 5 or more radar cruisers per game.... as good as I am I am not that good. Some light banter at the start then some heavy shells into his Missouri... His clan mate put me down in his Jutland towards the end but all in all a satisfying Victory..

Well if the DD class stops playing leaving only CV, BB and CA.... the Subs will just move up and wipe out the last three groups... Then World of Warships just becomes another version of Silent Hunter.... the only ships on the surface will be the Bots... and eventually even the Sub player will get bored because Bots play to a specific pattern always...

As am I... I used to play my Shima 6.4km @ 85 but with another Captain she is also back to 12km.. I expect that with the increase of Radar Cruisers we might see DD captains switching to BB's.... who knows.

Maybe it's time for 20km Shima torps...lolz...

I was just getting into RTS CV's before the change... I often focused on the fighter support and earned more praise for wiping out the opponents aircraft than anything else and later in the game when the enemy had no fighter support left I would attack... RTS CV WR % was I think around 63%....

Suits me fine.... bring out your BB's.... more points for me....

In my first game today there were 3 enemy Nevsky, a Salem, a Donskoi and a Stalingrad on the enemy team... The Nevsky can almost stealth radar... I think 0.9km is all you've got between the radar and concealment range.. As a DD that was quite a bit to contend with... I concentrated on spotting and thankfully my team did knock them for six... I did however get triple spotted and it took some luck or skill to avoid being slaughtered...again the near stealth radar of Nevsky is going to take some getting used to. In my second game with Shimakaze... there were 8 Cruisers per side and 3 radar Cruisers each.....the enemy had a Nevsky, Donskoi and Neptune.. I did bag 3 though. In my two games so far that's a dramatic increase in Cruiser population and radar.... as to whether I think it is too much (The Jury is still out)....

I had that too... so many shells falling short even though I am aiming bang on the mark... Perhaps they can only afford the cheaper mechanics now after last years debacle maybe the financial affect of 8.0 is beginning to bite now on their purse... (15 players gone from my Clan and all were financial contributors)... I don't know, but it is a possibility.

Well I know, they won't admit it obviously, but i know 8.0 cost them a fortune... 15 members of my Clan for a start and all were financial contributors.

Aw Mate... he may not have known... what happens now if he scuttles his ships in port... all his dream (His illusions) crashing down aside him... Shame on you

Lmao...Priceless.... I had a Tirptiz Captain yesterday say his torpedoes were faulty because he couldn't hit a Roon that was 10km from him.... I didn't reply..

That's the way my clan works...

I can understand the frustration of the OP .. before having to use the crappy 'Game Centre' to get into game I simply clicked the World of Warships Icon on my taskbar; the game loaded and I played. Now, I can be waiting to load into a game for up to five minutes at worst. On average now I have issues logging in to one in every five games... at the load in point the clock ticks down and I am sitting their twiddling my thumbs not able to play... before the 'Game Centre' one in every twenty on a bad day. @MrConway why was it necessary to change a system that worked better than the 'Game Centre' does now?

After the game centre updated I can no longer log in... Is there an issue with the EU server? I have been trying to get in to the game for about an hour now... @MrConway any ideas or information?
