Looks like a 'Back to the Garbage day'.... Not a single enemy ship sunk.

@Verblonde maybe for one day, as a one off.... just to see how it goes... I bet you'd end up with two teams of 12 Shimakazes each...

I feel you... really do. Takes about half an hour to learn and if players are stuck they should use post-it notes around the monitor until you know them by heart.. Some people expect things too easy. I don't fear CV's at all... usually I evade pretty much all of the time.

Simple enough if you think about it.. The only hard part is remember the nationality of the ship you face... couldn't have put it better myself @Verblonde

Why not? Is his question not valid just because we've heard it before? He may not have read other posts, which by the way will be some way down the numbers, so he asks the question. The answer obviously is the same but a few taps of a keyboard to give an answer is too much... The OP will then know the answer...

Every player has the right to ask a question.... and I am sure the Moderators will agree...

@Mambo_King11 if your title had been 'Time to learn Radar' I would have agreed. Radar is fine, if you're having problems it's because you have not learned the capabilities of your opponents or you're playing poorly. I am a DD main and radar is okay to me... Not difficult if you know what you're doing.

Back to playing with the melts... last man standing once again as per usual... and Montana can eat some torpedoes...

It took me over 6,000 battles to get it.. Woeful stats... 38% Random Winrate at one point... Now, after playing right I am sitting on 48% ... Still below my target but certainly better than before. If your Winrate bothers you make the effort to improve it and feel good as you do, you're mastering the game... There are plenty of experienced people here with tips and tricks that'll help you improve.. For example if CV is your thing you've got players who are CV specialists, you've got BB specialists, Cruiser and DD too... Most forumites will happily help you, some might be sharp with advice or criticism but that is their way and they mean no offence.... But, above all that enjoy the game... good WR % will come if you're prepared to learn from the more experienced and remember a full cup cannot be filled...

I still play my Yeuyang and Chung Mu occasionally with success... They nerf the DW torpedoes you just change your gameplay tiz all...

So you don't approve of the flooding chance being restored then ... whether or not Destroyers can reload in 100 seconds or not... a striking torpedo creates a big hole.

That's fine... I accept what you say with no problems at all... It was a just in case scenario nothing more...

Mine do... But, I consider I know best how to use them.

I have already been advised and will NOT deny that I didn't know Torps came into the equation too with PT... I am not alone though in being curious as @gopher31 said the very same..

You're asking me if I know the difference between COOP and non COOP games... that's very funny my friend.

Not at all... she cannot torp DD's or Cruisers which means she is always at a disadvantage in any game.. She has to be handled carefully and the concealment is your safety... Playing her, it is vital that you know the strengths of your enemy. She is NOT a ship for inexperienced DD players but played right she is lethal... I have both and I am successful in both even if there are few targets for me...

Although I do agree with you @loppantorkel I think that given that there are people who do use cheats in this game forewarned is forearmed and if something IS amiss it can be stamped upon quickly.. Everything you've said makes perfect sense but you have to be in game at a specific moment to be sure and I still have a niggle of doubt to put to bed...

Maybe this is something WG can look into @MrConway because @gopher31 describes what I have seen also... The second you launch your torpedoes the BB makes an abrupt turn.... and I talk about launching well out the range of detection or Hydro (Even if it is Hydro to avoid 8km torpedoes@ 80 knots @ less than 7km takes something special)

That explains what i see... So I am not alone then....

Do you know, I didn't know this had any bearing on torpedoes and I've been playing years... I thought priority target was for guns alone.. Mashum now has a new plan... Thank you @gopher31

I use RPF on my DD's... that now explains it. Thank you.

@MrConway I have noticed occasionally that in some games, now this is NOT a frequent occurrence for me but I found it strange, the minute I launch my torpedoes the target BB immediately changes direction.. I am out of their range for Hydro or eyesight, so what is this Mod @Altsak mentions?

Flooding has increased... I almost got a Liquidator last night until an ally snapped up my targets remaining health points... I did ask WG directly to explain to me what happens when a torpedo hits the side of a ship, in all the films I have seen (fact of fiction) it rips a gigantic hole in the side of a ship, I also asked how, in the old format, would 14 torpedo strikes only produce one flood.. Maybe they listened for a change.. I am loving my DD work again... I have added a few Screenshots of recent games to show the flood to torpedo ratios...

I had just enough to get Vasteras... Never once got a high value container.

@ForlornSailor So many absolutely useless players, so may low tier players, being able to buy/acquire ships that put them directly in the top flights. But, having no clue how to use them they just totally 'profanity up' the game from the start... I watched a 3 division JB team crash out on Saturday, in under 11 minutes, without sinking a single ship.... It is so discouraging that this is becoming the norm... But, I suppose WG have to recoup for their disastrous 8.0 from somewhere and anyone who claims it wasn't a 'profanity up' forgets the flying Shimakaze...
