Mostly to quickly knock off the missions for the Supercontainers... completed the last ones in 2 and a half hours....

When your team absolutely refuse to kill radar...go get them yourself. Sank one with a devastating strike and kept the other spotted until someone finally thought.... hey let's help the DD's... All of our DD's made it to the end.... no thanks to our big guns in the team...

wrong topic.

Everyone expects so much from the DD... but how can the DD perform when abandoned? I still will ask for help before the game starts.. if I don't get it I do my game as best as I can. I got fed up last night though and so I typed in one game at the start: Please do not kill enemy radar ships.. you wouldn't want your DD's to survive would you. Then I typed: Maybe asking you not to kill something you might just do the opposite..... It turned out to be an excellent game and both enemy Baltimores were dead inside 5 minutes.. so maybe asking them not to kill radar ships is the right way... -------------------------- As a BB I will always try to get my consorts to understand that the priority targets are the radar equipped ships... kill them, the DD's survive and wreak havoc... I don't camp or border hug and try to be close enough to support the DD's and always will, if in range, fire at radar ships... Got a one shot kill on a Moskva 2 nights ago in my Alsace. I know as a DD main, if ships like DM, Alaska, Stalingrad, Moskva, etc etc, are slaughtered quickly, I am free to molest the helpless BB's or perma spot them for the team to kill. Sometimes I have managed, if enemy DD's die early, to sit behind the enemy team for the whole game keeping them all spotted, I get very little damage obviously, but the enemy cannot move freely and are eventually picked off one by one...

Have you noticed that Bot CV's always seem to only fly their aircraft towards DD's at the start.. you can guarantee in a game with a single DD the planes fly directly to it...

In recent CooP games I have seen full death TK's with torpedoes, Bots who now use Radar or Hydro, Bots that fire into the smoke... and yes I have seen Bots run. To be honest I like it... it makes the game a little more unpredictable.

A few of them around today....

I haven't heard that mate... I still love my DD and I still play with my old tactics as well as the new tactics I use when CV's are in play...

First game of the day... damn do those bombs hurt you...

Oh yes.... Can you imagine it... triple strike.. quad strike... maybe more and if I equip my 6.4km @ 86 knots... with my 5.6km concealment.. it will be.. will be.. oh the ecstasy... it will be a slaughter... Now, Mashum calm yourself... it will never happen... But, what if? (Mashum asks)

First ever Dreadnought in a DD...

So far 4 games played... Kagero (Win) Benson (Loss, but should have been a win but for 2 dumb BB's) Asashio (Win) Benson (Win)... later Supper over...time to go back...

Just had 4 of the best Ranked Sprint games with @1MajorKoenig He is an amazing CV player... I came in with my DD's even braving my Asashio... 3 out of 4 victories. @1MajorKoenig I salute you sir

I do everything in my Shimakaze and when I feel particularly aggressive, if games have been right that day, I equip her with 6.4km torpedoes at 81 knots... nothing escapes them not even other DD's. If played right the Shimakaze isn't the lame Duck everyone thinks her to be... The only problem is that your brain has to be switched on from the game start. I have written to WG to ask why if Kagero and Yugumo has the option of TRB Shimakaze does not.... You don't need to reply to this as it is only a half hearted joke... but I did write to WG nonetheless...

How many games I have had where the big guns ignore the ships lethal to DD's and abuse the DD for "Not doing their job." Countless recordings where I am literally begging a BB or group of BB's to drive off a Moskva, a Des Moines, an Alaska, a Stalingrad.... yet these ships stand untouched and the DD's are picked off one by one or they just leave the area.... all the while the big guns spam F7...

Yes they are the two Submarines I mentioned...

Just looked up Leyte Gulf engagements and find no submarines on either lists of battle... However, only in the Sibuyan Sea battle, it was mentioned and acknowledged that 2 Submarines did engage. On the strength of this information I will concede to your point..

I never refrained from commenting ever.. In my eyes it was no different than the UBoat sinking of the Athenia in 1939... and my Prime Minister of the time did not enjoy the questions from the public after the sinking... I also take your point on Smolensk... Seems I am not doing very well today... I will have to watch out for you ...

Okay, you got me.....

Seriously?? 1982..... what does that have to do with World of Warships.... which I may add is a second world war themed game... and regards to threat perceived, threat removed the Belgrano was actually outside of the zone of action laid down by the UK Navy sailing away and as a UK citizen I find its sinking abhorrent...

Yes, but they only played a part after the battle to pick off the lame Ducks or to collect survivors/prisoners for interrogation. Absolutely, give them their own sphere, their own platform, their own specific missions and any DD joining has no grounds for complaint...

Name me a battle where Submarines actively engaged in surface fleet actions? They either attacked convoys, dropped or retrieved agents, ran supplies ie. Malta or IJN, collected beach samples, attacked port installations or moored capital ships. The Warships sunk by Submarines were usually ships damaged in fleet actions first and finished off in the days after.. If these Subs hit random, random will not be worth playing...

If WG give Subs their own game platform: Like convoy attack, Agent drop or pick up, Port attack where the target is a specific ship... Subs will in my opinion work. If WG put Subs in random games... it's over.
