I have tried many times to stay at t2-4. T4 is actually really fun. But I always go back to t5 and then t8. The lack of game-progression at low tiers is to anoying. But in my view t4 is the most fun you can have in this game.

Not t2-3

As Im farming captains xp Im slowly moving my 21p special captains to t2-4. I currently have Lutjens on v25 and Kutznetsov on Izyaslav. More to come. High tiers are crap and my time is better spent clubbing other clubbers at low tier without subs and superships. Im having fun again and the occasional 8-9kill games help.

T2-4 are fine and enjoyable. The rest not so much.

Honestly Im more annoyed with triple divs of really bad players. Carrying them is often impossible. Also lately the meta has been YOLO... So carrying has been hard and my WR is suffering.

Thank you

T8 is by far my most played tier... All the good botes are there and t10s are just more xp and Hp.

4 racks of 3 would be awesome 😁 And yes we can hope they won't nerf it into oblivion. Jag håller tummarna

I think its 3 racks of 4, so Östergötland torps and racks. 42knots with boost and 5.4km consealment 🤤 I would be sooooo happy if it came out like this. But likely nerfs will be comming. 70 seconds reload is not likely. Would that be sub 60 with module and skill?

So what is your way of coping these days. I myself try to only play one random per day. For whatever reason it works for me. I have been getting great games, often very close ones. Im also playing some CB when I have time. If I want to play more I grind new ships in operations. Just now Im working on Tallin, Harbin and Amalfi. If I feel like I have to do missions I do them by spaming Shliefen in CoOp. Just press W x 4 and let the bots do the work. You can spot (ships and torps), get tons of ribbons, fires, decaps, torp hits, kills and you tank some. When ranked bronze goes uneven tier again I might play some of that.

Today I did the misstake of playing 3 random games instead of the one. So back to hating the playerbase. The games were pretty good though.

Im also really hoping for t9 and 10 operations. The only problem being that I'll probably stop playing anything else.

I found last ranked season to be fun at tier 5. But I had a string of horrible battles at the start of this one. And sadly I cant enjoy myself if Im not winning. In randoms at the moment it feels like the better and experiensed players have left. Last I looked I had 21 games played in as many days and 19 wins. When it comes to div mates, I used to div up with my brother a lot. He sadly refuses to play the game any more. Reasons being bugged gunnery, subs and CVs.

Strangely I cant remember last time I saw a sub in CoOp. Skipping the grind has been a goal of mine for years. Every time I get sucked in to one I end up wanting to quit the game. In the end playing should be fun, not a job, I already have one of those.

Yes divs help a lot. I just dont have the time to get stuck playing for hours. My clan is full of really nice people, but sadly I seldom div with them.

You are right its a bad ship. They wanted to make it unique and not just a copy pasta premium Akizuki. And they thought that not giving it the 1/4 pen would be a good idea. I think it has lower reload speed, worse pen, higher alpha and fire chance, it also has better AP balistics and pen, but not pen angles. Disregarding the torps you could play it as a firestarter with lots of smokes and use AP to do direct damage. But in reality that just makes it so hard to use. A slight angle and you bounce your AP and you cant even farm superstructure (except on DDs) with your HE. A DD must be able to fight other DDs, and you need IFHE to do that in Fen Yang. The consept doesnt work, its a bad ship. I still have Super Unicum stats in it though

Its not Op, but fun and often relaxing to play. I have 959 games in the Asa and Asa B combined. Its one of the ships i enjoy most in the game. WR is 65 and 67% in favor of the Black one I should however say that I also own the Cossak and Cossak B... I have 73% WR in both, so If you are looking for the best ship, that would be it in my view. They do however play quite differently.

I am fairly decent at playing DDs. Figured that I would give subs a chanse, playing them as a DD. Spotting and capping mainly. What I found was that I can easily cap and spot, diving renders you immune to CVs and radar. The issues I found Is that you are slow. Against a pushing flank its easy to get caught. Also other Subs are hard to deal with in a sub. If he has support you loose and vise versa. But if you get to play without hydro DDs and subs around you its all free realestate. You can sit at 2,5km and slam non homing torps into them and they cant even detect you. In the end I enjoy DDs more.

Be the team mate you want, or atleast try to be. In 5000-10000 games you will probably be a good player. It has taken me about 8000 games to get to 59.45% WR. In another 500 games or so I'll have purple numbers. Also playing less works somehow. Being frustrated makes you play badly and probably drags your team down with you. If you still feel every one else suck and only you are right.

I do however think that subhumans should learn DDs as they dont seem to understand basic gameplay, like spotting and capping.

Humans that play Subs = Subhumans. That is my opinion anyway

The meta swings every way. The reason for the current influx of DDs is really BBs with overmatch (also borderline BBs like stalin/Alaska etc.). A lot of the players who used to main CA/CLs now play DDs or BBs. The combination of getting spotted In bad positions (hello CV), combined with BBs that can smach you in every angle, draw people away from cruisers. With less cruisers DDs are more popular. Some DDs are basicly CL anyway without the citadell. Still as long as BBs continue to be the most played class they are in my view not hurting to much. A couple years ago you had 5 BBs, 5 cruisers (3-5 with radar) on each team. That left 2 DDs/side but often only 1 and 1 CV. And as its so popular that DD was more often then not a 17900hp, 20km, Shima.

170mil kept one of each though 😋
