This isn't just happening in one game with a single DD... This is across the board.... I don't even bother with Juliet Whiskey anymore because it does nothing... I have almost every DD from tier 5 to Tier 10... The 7th of January 2019 was the last time I earned the Liquidator....

I tell you what I have noticed as a DD main... Yes the predictor is wrong but you should never fully rely on it in my opinion but it seems way off now. It is now nigh on impossible to get a flood... 13 Torpedo hits last night in a Shimakaze and not one flood even with the +15% flood chance.... I haven't had a Liquidator in months.... I mean a Torpedo hits and ship and explodes (Or at least that's what happens in real life) Some real cry babies in this game to whom WG pander and they have as mentioned above virtually killed off the DD game.

Oh No.... not another MOSKVA to watch out for......

Well with the influx of morons from 8.0 how could they possibly hope to play competitively against decent DD captains... so what does WG do? The usual... panders to the useless to the detriment of the game... This game becomes less and less appealing as time goes along... fine I will continue to keep my wallet closed...

Stalingrad is a nightmare for DD's; I fear her more than the Moskva... I don't ever take them on at all ( Is Mashum telling the truth Not telling) Always take great care with the Stalingrad in play.

I can actually hold my own with a MOSKVA, although I grant you she is a tricky opponent, torpedoes will still kill her... and I know how to compensate for detection of torpedoes by radar... But, that's my secret.. As to the lower Tiers I treat them as carefully as any Radar equipped DD killer... if I don't feel I can command the engagement I leave well alone and just F3.

Useful to know... so now when I see you in MOSKVA I shall employ my counter measures... Remember (gopher31) ... You don't frighten me.... much.

As a DD main the MOSKVA is a ship I try to avoid and always F3 so my team can nail her, if they're awake that is, before she nails me or pushes me away... She is the DD nemesis if played right. --------------------------------------------------------------- Buff? What's the plan for YY?

I must have abnormally high skill levels in both my Asashio and Asashio B for randoms.... every ship has a strength and I do know mine. But for rank battles, I have only taken an Asashio into rank battles once (Victorious) but never to be repeated because it really was hard work.

Catch me if you can...

20 Minutes is fine.. ( I wouldn't actually mind 30)... As a DD main it would give me an extra 10 minutes to try to salvage a bad situation... But, making random games shorter means you destroy any possibility of playing tactically the game becomes a rush... Have you ever thought of playing Destruction Derby?

Which is?

What about 'World of Potatoes'? USS Marfona against KM Wilja or the great HMS King Edward... I'm going back to sleep now...

Buddy... If you start badly and it takes a while for you to understand the game, or like me I didn't listen to sound advice from fellow forumites who knew better, your Win Rate will only improve as you do and it will improve slowly compared to other players. If you've suffered many defeats there is much to claw back before you break the magic 50%... But, if you think 43% is bad think again.. I was at below 36% at one point and did I know it... Some games you will not win even if you play spectacularly and some you'll win without effort. I was told in the past that the WR will go up eventually, it just takes longer with such a poor start, but as you get better it evens out. Personally, I just aim for the next % up so I am currently working on reaching 48%.. If you monitor your performance weekly you'll get a better idea of your own performance... https://wows-numbers.com/ and don't worry about blips for even Unicum players can have a series of bad games even if they played out of their skins. My weekly stats, 21 day stats, usually show me as Very good to Super Unicum in my favourite class which is the DD. You'll get there yourself.. maybe even faster than me who knows and if you don't make the mistake I did, ignoring all the advice given, you'll have a head start.

Thought it was a thread about making Vodka...

Chung Mu is still pretty good as a DD... I have her and my Yeuyang... With all the change so far if I was going to play my high tier PA DD's it would be Chung Mu over Yeuyang..

So I am begging my team to kill the enemy Des Moines for almost 15 minutes of the game so that I can retain and defend a cap I had taken.. I have to flee the cap I have just won because of Des Moines radar and for the whole game my team leave him alive and expect me to retake the cap he sits in. Also in the cap is the Jean Bart, the Massa and the Atago... For company, a long way back, is the Tripitz and Georgia who continually attack the enemy BB's doing absolutely no damage... I keep messaging KILL DES MOINES ELIMINATE RADAR and I can help... I keep the enemy all lit up as best as I can... get a few torps in to the BB's until finally only DM remains... but we are down on points... Tirpitz was sunk by the DM and Georgia too... In fact they account for his 2 kills... So fed up with asking them to kill the Des Moines, with the clock ticking down, knowing we are in trouble, with 36hp I took him on myself.... I win the fight. We win by 38 points and I make the end with 36hp... Kill the damned radar ships guys... it's not rocket science...

Having a few Port glitches last few days.. This is todays glitch... The Battleship Bayern has changed a bit don't you think?

Of course yeah I totally forgot... You can associate yourself with anything nowadays...

No but that won't stop them. To the total detriment of the game. You have to be good to play a DD... you must watch for the CV, avoid radar, avoid Hydro, watch for other stronger DD's, be the eyes of the team, cap zones, smoke or defend your allies and be ready to avoid enemy torpedoes.. You spend more time on the Mini Map than the main view and yet you're punished for playing well because of the SuckTards in the other classes... I mean as @Europizza highlighted it's near impossible to even get a flood never mind earn a Liquidator achievement... 13 torpedo hits on 4 ships to get a single flood ribbon is a joke.. A torpedo when it explodes rips a big hole... But, not to WG... WG is taking the fun out of this game yet again... they'll only realise their folly when they are left with the 10 year olds.... drive away the DD's you kill the game because all the other Tiers will have to take over the DD job..

German Hydro works for nothing if Asashio launches at 6.2km and uses TRB immediately after... Dodge that. I regularly torpedo from between 6.2km-6.7km.. Also adding TA makes them even faster whilst still giving 16km range which works great for the BB 'camper fest' huggy groups... Waiting for the BB 'Cry babies' to claim foul now...... Boo Hoo!!!!

This annoys me more than anything.... 13 torpedo hits on 4 ships and only 1 single flood... other games no floods... A torpedo, when it hits the ship, rips a big 'profanity' hole in its side so: HOW CAN THERE BE NO 'PROFANITY' FLOODS?? If a BB shell can cause a citadel or critical hit and even disable a gun then your idea of reducing the flood risk for torpedoes strikes is utter 'profanity'.... Tell your Johnny 10 year old that this game is supposed to be a competitive game and if he wants to cry because he gets hurt too much he should go back to playing MINECRAFT.

Someone who doesn't have the ASASHIO knows nothing about the ASASHIO so your comments are to be taken with a pinch of salt... I certainly know far more about the ships than you do... But, I am sure you'll wade in again with your assumptions for people like you who know all, know nowt, don't enjoy being put in your place.

As a DD main.... "I want these Torps" the chaos I could cause...

I would have been interested to know what would have happened had it hit you...
