Radar is fine if your team is switched on, there is a key that is marked F3 on your keyboard and the idea is that when you F3 mark a Des Moines or Moskva, for example, the BB's of your team turn it to scrap. Radar is not something that changes, if you take the time to learn the ranges of enemy radar you can for almost all cases avoid it. Marking all radar down to 9km where's the challenge playing against that? Why should games be limited to 2 radar ships per team, there's no challenge in that either. You want that boring scenario stick to COOP. As I am a DD main and not a Cruiser main even I think that to limit radar uses to two is being very unfair to the Cruiser don't you think, I can have up to 6 smoke, 5 Boost, 4 TRB etc etc... If you're struggling with radar you are doing something wrong so why complain about the Cruiser (or the BB) when it is you that needs to re-evaluate how you play? You are playing a PVP game and every other Captain has chosen a ship that best suit them, they want to sink you and you want to sink them... You want to spoil their game? I am a DD main, not one radar ship bothers me whatsoever... 12km radar is fine because I know how to beat it... Take the time to learn the radar capabilities of all opponents that carry it, take your time in game and use the Mini Map... I actively hunt radar ships in game and I am very successful. The only thing that I do agree with on your post is, I think Radar should be able to be Incapacitated or destroyed in the same way Torpedo tubes or ships guns can be. You're probably not going to like what I have written but this game has to stay challenging, rise to the challenge.

Epicentre game with many timid players on my team.... From the start of the game I go north on the 1-3 lines to spot and almost immediately find the Stalingrad and Des Moines pushing south with the Halland and Smolensk... With the enemy Stalingrad and Des Moines pinging their radar for fun they isolate and eat their DD harvest... Thanks to their radar my two Tier 10 DD consorts are dead in under 6 minutes... So there's just me left which seems to happen more often than not lately... But Mashum isn't a dumb dumb... I keep both radar cruisers spotted and Stalingrad is blapped by allied Moskva and Des Moines succumbs to a single torp salvo from Groz who dies pretty quickly after... Allied Moskva at that point disintegrates and is gone... But, our problems are only just beginning, it's an epicentre game and the enemy control all zones... After the outer ring is capped the enemy Smolensk is gone too by our Allied Republique (His only contribution to the entire game) but it is little consolation... We are however at a disadvantage as we are down six ships to their three and all of their DD's still live.... At that point the enemy is at 540 points to our 200.... So seeing no other option I head to the cap zones and retake the centre cap with Smolensk as Venezia takes the outer ones... These two guys stayed with me throughout and followed my instructions completely.... One enemy Shimakaze comes too close to me as I head SE and is spotted whilst I remain undetected (maybe stock or doesn't have CE) but anyways he goes under the guns of Venezia and that's that... Enemy Halland falls next to our Smolensk within 60 seconds as he tried to come in from the North East. Smolensk also at that point takes out the second or three Shimakaze . An enemy Shimakaze runs NW out of the epicentre with Henri and I have to tell Venezia twice not to chase... From the centre, after telling Smolensk to stop and take cover, I am able to put enough torpedoess (3) into Bourgogne to make him an easy kill... I also get a torpedo into Montana from the same salvo and he too is an easy kill for Audacious who succumbs to the torpedoes of the dead Shimakaze straight after... Maybe he was running the 20km range. Within 5 minutes of me turning to the cap we have retaken all zones, all ships have been spotted then sunk and the enemy is reduced to 3 ships.. Our allied Montana took out Bourgogne, Hindenburg in quick order as they were all packed like Sardines SE of the epicentre outer zone... My Torpedoes also helped make them easier kills.. The enemy Henri has fled to A2 so we ignore him completely and the enemy Shimakaze turns back into the cap.. My RL, love my RL, keeps him in check and I bounce him just at the edge of the centre cap and take him out with my guns.. The enemy CV tries to attack me twice but I am too old a fish to be caught. venezia then comes to my aid and shadows me until the game ends... We never lost a single ship from the point of me entering the cap and taking charge... Thankfully my team read the Chat...

Apparently, I am a crap player for bringing out my Asashio B... How dare I.... (-8 Karma) Still not a bad game...

Well it was such a bad performance that earned me -8 to my Karma... given how badly I performed I suppose I cannot complain.... 109 down to 101... Apparently by bringing out my Asashio B to any game I deserve it because I am crap... was too busy in game to Screenshot but oh dear...

Can anyone recommend a reliable program that will allow me to record the games I participate in? Any recommendations would be most welcome. Thank you.

Perhaps we can call it the WG Triangle...

I have noticed that when firing at two ships very close together your shells seem to have a life of their own and don't land anyway near your aim point...

@MrConway now WG has seen fit to allow us to mount more signals do you think that when we click for signals to convert game XP we could get just signals? Coal, FXP... forgive me if I am wrong, I am quite sure you cannot mount Coal nor FXP like you can Sierra Mike or Juliet Charlie... Again, forgive me if I am wrong, I am pretty sure coal is a resource.... Not a hard fix is it?

We all know them, we all see them and they're a right Royal pain in the backside. Yes, I speak of the humble Potato, you've seen them. Marfona Marauder, King Edward Krush, Wilja Warrior and the famous Maris Bard Monster.... Now there are some very sensitive Potatoes of late and I just wonder if we're being unfair to them? How about a new collective name for them? Something that may not hurt them as much as the word Potato... I choose 'Snowcone'.... Why? Well it's because one bit of heat and they're gone... Let me see what names you would like to use... Disclaimer: This is a bit of fun, to alleviate the boredom of lockdown so I am not responsible for any names others give.

It isn't difficult to hit a target who is in the smoke either with main guns or torpedoes.... smoke is for escaping or covering a targeted ally..

I had one yesterday in my Asashio... 2 CV's per side and only 7 players per team (Random battle too)..... It sucked.

It makes no sense to me either...

I have to say that this last sprint event is the most enjoyable I have had to date.. I made it to rank 3 with a 100% WR, with some pretty spectacular scores, and ranked out with a 60% WR.. I certainly carried many games to victory and with the Heal Buffs thrown in... I was lethal... Best score 271,000 damage dealt in my Gearing. Took my Elite Commander XP from 221,000 at the start to 1,004, 218 at the end....

I have noticed that my torpedo tubes get incapacitated more frequently (More so on my IJN lines) and it seems only my Gearing suffers from tubes destroyed. In three games yesterday I lost a set of tubes.... The numbers seem higher... Watched a JB yesterday with both turrets destroyed sink 4 ships on secondaries alone before I put her down... quite funny really.. @ForlornSailor it increased around the same time as the flooding chance changed.

I had only my third Ocean map today in over a year... It was glorious... 4 kills, 3 caps, loads of spotting damage, 1.9 million potential damage... and I survived until the end... Oh how I miss the Ocean map and how the salty tears of the Non DD players made me chuckle... Ocean is one of the few maps where there are NO campers, NO radar cruisers sat behind islands and you must play as a team to win... and if you mess up you die.

42 battles... 100% WR to rank 3 then 60% from Rank 3 to Rank 1... Best performing ship: Shimakaze @ 71% (17) Kitakaze next @ 54% (13) Chung mu (2) and gearing (10) @ 50% each...

For the whole of the game they sat there... 6 of our team and surprise surprise all of them Premium ships.... I capped C and a single enemy DD and 2 Cruisers kept these idiots from supporting me... The only BB to enter the cap decided to YOLO and was sunk by torpedoes despite me locating the enemy DD... You couldn't write this...

@dommo77 What ship do you feel most comfortable in? Asashio can be a hard ship to understand at first, but once the penny drops she is lethal. Mutsu is a good BB for Tier VI (I have her) and she has Torpedoes that reload in 21 seconds... I am not a Cruiser man so that's as far as I can go.

+ 1,000 this.... As far as I am concerned you wants Subs then go play Silent Hunter....

As a DD main I can sink a GK with 10 torpedoes or less.... I can fire 15 at a Kremlin, it laughs in my face and shouts back: 'AND?'

As I was advised... Even if it's true just don't say it...

+1 I also always message a player after a battle if I think they've done really well... to me it's good manners. Also, why not unlimited compliments + Karma? I also think @MrConway that if WG are going to have Karma why not have rewards for players who accrue it? For example if you get +10 karma in a day you get 5 flags... Isn't that an incentive for a player to try to perform better in a game?

@Sturmtiger_304 Looks like you were very busy.. very impressive numbers.

I had a few dodgy games between rank 3 and rank 1... YOLO DD's who must have been burning their lunch... The worst was in one game we had a Yamato Division who sat the game on the West border humping each other.... They played no part in the game as their flank failed.. then they decided to push when the game was lost. I inquired as to what new ship they were hoping to create together to the amusement of my other team mates... Then some others let fly... let's just say their comments were colourful...
