I am not blonde but I missed that..... never mind.

Well, given the feedback I have from my friends about Subs, those still here after 8.0.... you'll probably find yourself alone in your little Submarine with nothing but the BOTS for company... @iFax I am much the same as you, Subs come into the main games I am out too.... You want Subs play 'Silent Hunter'....

This happened to me in a Random game too... I experienced something strange in a Random game where one ship was able to evade 60 Shimakaze torpedoes, I never miss with 60 .. The player was then in my very next game and an allied Z-23 said in team chat that this player was a cheat because the very moment he fired torpedoes the player moved to avoid them.... and we are not talking close range either at 7km - 8km ... So I created a ticket provided my evidence to WG, I got a reply within 15 minutes and they said that they had acted immediately... obviously I do not know what WG did but I had never had such a fast response.

Mini Map, Mini Map, Mini Map... as big as you can tolerate. Make sure you have max concealment (5.4km). RL in my opinion is a must. Be aware of your opponents strengths, know their radar ranges. Certain ships are faster than you make sure you know which. Remember certain DD's cannot hit you with torpedoes but their guns can hurt you. If there is a CV in game don't rush. Caps aren't essential at the start as the game is twenty minutes long (The CV will be watching the caps). AA off always and in smoke too (CV can guesstimate your location) and can hit you. Don't sit too long in smoke for you'll easily become a torpedo magnet. Don't use TRB (Torpedo Reload Booster) until you have at least understood the ships capabilities. Have your escape route planned before you make your move and if you don't feel confident to make a play don't make it. Help your team if you can with smoke or a torpedo salvo to dissuade an enemy from chasing. Be the eyes of your team, spot, spot, spot and if you can get undetected behind the enemy you may not get many points for damage but spotting will help your team kill the enemy team. Practice via COOP your torpedo angles... learn how to torpedo and understand the different speeds of the ships you target. Take your time and as I said before Mini Map awareness is key...

Finally got back to rank 10... done. This ranked event is a bag of stinking Dog... WG you've really outdone yourself this time. No matter what I did (In one game I sank four enemy ships and we still lost) the team did their best to melt...

I cannot get beyond rank 10....dropped back to 12 last night.... the brains of the players in the teams I am in... well they haven't got any and nobody uses chat... It reminds me of a football match where the players are all 5 years old... They perhaps think 'Tactical Play' is something that happens at the Theatre....

Strategy for this ranked event is impossible. In all but a few games I've played everyone does their own thing and nobody obviously reads the chat messages...I have never seen so many idiots in a ranked event ever. I suppose that whoever has the least amount of morons in their team wins.

Well I made Rank 10... Sinop was not what I expected, I didn't expect it to be overmatched by King George V or Duke of York... but I couldn't dent them with AP.... Need 20,000 xp for Vlad so probably going to grind for it via ranked... this ranked event for me is dire..

Just reminded me I have a Cheesecake in my fridge.... lolz

26 Battles still can't make rank 10... I seem to be getting all of the idiots in my team... last three Sinop games I sank three ships each game and it still wasn't enough... My favourite saying to my sons is 'Take brains not trains.' Come on guys someone else can take a turn shepherding the morons surely?

How have you enjoyed the games at T7 level? Do you not find the teams somewhat frustrating (To put it mildly) as if you're teamed up with a bunch of 5 year olds....? @LateBloomPlays arms race was cool once you understood how it works.

I for one won't hold my breath.... some of the teams I had to suffer were beyond stupid... and as happened with @MementoMori_6030 I had an allied Belfast just rip my DD to shreds before the game was 30 seconds old... I was left with 256 hp.... Needless to say the first salvo I took and it was game over.... It's like a classroom of 5 year olds... (WG will consider their dumbing down of the game a success then)

For the whole of the game the Gneisenau sat there after 5 minutes of AFK.. seems I am getting the 's in my teams today..... May as well just use this event to grind my Sinop....

This ranked event is .... RNG is a nightmare... a full Sinop Broadside at 9km into a Fiji on the waterline in front of the middle gets me 3 over pens and that's it....this ranked event is also full of morons.... players deliberately just ruining the game for others... My last game a Scharnhorst runs into an Island at 6 minutes and stays there he wasn't afk because he was firing his rear turret......the game before a Z-39 who decides he is going to YOLO an Atlanta and Sinop and a Sinop who chases a Fiji all over the map... A Gneisenau who sat the last 8 minutes of a game on full health behind an island spamming the F key... and in almost every game I have been in... Wow.... Just wow... WG is this really what you want from your ranked events?

In a CV game I have been sunk twice in as many weeks and usually after I was mauled by another ship (Excluding CV)... and you fail like the other guy @Deckeru_Maiku to understand that Rocket Attacks follow specific patterns 'before' the CV fires the rockets. Like I keep saying, watch the planes see the pattern avoid the rockets (or the worst of them anyways)... It's not a hack, it's not a cheat it is something anyone can do if they can be bothered... If you believe there is no counterplay why play? Everything in this game has a counter if you look closely enough. Watch the aircraft, learn their pattern prior to the rocket launch, avoid the rockets.... Not rocket science really.

Keep being swatted then... I won't be.

You mark my post boring yet my post is correct even for lower tier (as low as Tier VI)... You can keep being swatted by the CV or if you actually apply what I suggest you can beat them... A solo DD can beat the rocket scourge .. I do in almost all games I am faced by a CV. Follow my advice, watch the planes, they have a specific pattern before they attack and that is your strength, that gets you away with minimal damage if any... Anyway another post for you to mark as boring eh.

1) Nowhere in my post did I say take her on.... have a read again of my first post because you're getting confused... 2) You fired first when you commented on my hidden stats.... can't take the return don't deal the cards. 3) With only 2,251 games you've barely scratched the surface of this game...

Then why are you crying? Learn how to gain the advantage.... I mean your title says 'Beta Tester'; so you must have at least some idea of how this game works right?... If we all carried on like you they'd be 24 ships every random game on the border lines crying about how unfair the game is, how strong this or that ship is, nobody would do anything. Give another 2,251 games and you may just understand.... As to your snipe at hidden stats that shows your immaturity ... what were you going to do try to use them against me for what.... my WR if you're so interested is 48%. My WR for DD's (My main class) is 59% combined... It used to be much lower but instead of whining like a 2,251 game player I took the time to learn how to beat my enemy... and I am beating them every day including Venezia What are you going to do now?

Well I guess with only 2,251 games you might need some help I suppose. If you fear her don't attack her alone, or if you fear her ask a DD that is close enough to have a go at torpedoing her, or if you fear her ensure that the area in which she sails you avoid and leave her to the BB's... If you fear her so much choose an easier target.

I am a DD main, I don't have the Venezia; However, if I have an allied Venezia supporting me I feel that I have a ship that can easily support me in any and all situations.. I prefer to see her beside me as opposed to the Smolensk. Why is it lately that so many people whine about the strengths of Ships rather than learning how best to deal with them? Don't you whingers, you whiners want a game that has challenges... so you face a strong ship... that's an everyday occurrence for a DD player.. adapt and overcome..

Rubbish, I quite successfully dodge rockets.. Watch the planes, watch how they move, especially when they make their attack move... and you'll learn how to dodge rockets... or just carry on telling yourself you can do nothing.

I am afraid to inform that there is a way to dodge the rockets... but whilst @El2aZeR prowls I am not giving away what i have learned. But, trust me, if you figure out the attack pattern of the aircraft (Watch the planes and you'll see it) you can beat the rockets.... As a DD main I have been sunk twice in .. in... well let's say a long time... by rockets. Watch the planes, see how they fly to attack..... watch the planes and you'll figure it out. I'll give you a free one... AA off unless you have AA consorts close and in smoke ALWAYS off....

I have opened all available Crates so far.... 75 tokens. I think I got like 10 tokens in one go twice.... 5,5,5,5 @DetonateMeDaddy I haven't heard the word 'Kek' in years...lol

Seems to be Tier VI for subs as my Tier VI DD's now have ASW.... depth charges etc etc.... Guess I won't be playing Tier VI again.
