1. I personally don't like the insignia much, I find them meaningless. I use a mod to disable their display in battle. 2. After some clown tried to stat shame me for having the temerity to ask a tactics question when I'd been playing for 2-3 weeks and I found out there was a stats page I also found the hide stats option and turned them off for good. I'd rather people were paying attention to the match than looking at stats, inspecting insignia and drawing silly unfounded conclusions.

The correlation and assumption you draw is utterly meaningless. 1. The insignia for damage just display the ability to farm damage, which can be done at the expense of winning the game and camping or in the case of the DD ones ignoring the caps, flanking and farming BB's. 2. The insignia for Nation top 3's can be done by plain spamming, although at least it's wins related so arguably has a tiny bit of validity even though they can be done by playing loads with an awful win rate and farming enough damage in winning teams. As discussed plenty of people have insignia but prefer some of the patches or having none at all. Given the choice I wouldn't even use the default patch. Until you provide hard data on the bit I've bolded it's simply confirmation bias and your own assumptions, just another form of the stats obsessed fools who "won't talk to people with hidden stats" or will only support people with good stats, both of which aren't rare to hear.

Hardly so, quite a few have default patches even though they have access to many insignia, I don't like the patches or insignia and I use the default one, we've had this discussion before and you're still wrong. In fact the insignia signify next to nothing about how well someone can play. That's as idiotic as saying that people that think writing u instead of using 2 extra letters and writing the actual word you shouldn't be allowed to post on the forums. This way we all know that the guy is literate (see it's stupid). Some people don't like T10 games and don't go higher than 8 or 9. I've sold all my Tier 8 silver ships other than the New Orleans that I'm keeping for the spit line, only got the T10's and a couple of T9's in silver ships, oh and the Bismarck with loads of XP on it as I'm not interested in FDG or GK. People who are too lazy to write an extra letter? Your assumption that someone playing a Premium ship hasn't reached T8 or higher is ridiculous. That's also totally daft, why would they cut off paying customers? It would be an absurd business decision.

Having seen you play and you've posted in the past you play stock ships with no point captains erm, you sure about that post? You will have a very nasty shock as a newbie in tier 8.

I've had several ranked games with 4 BB a side, in that situation being a single cruiser just means you're dogmeat since they will focus you (hell why not get an easy kill?) and you're screwed. Ranked is worse than randoms with BB overpopulation as proportionately they are 3 or 4 7ths of the team. I won't play any cruisers in the T8 section and will look at the T10 games and then decide. More than likely I'll just play DD.

Which forum members have you seen in random battles?
BeauNidl3 replied to Cobra6's topic in General Discussion
I derped epically in my Missouri in that last one (went to bed finally after that), boy did the team hit the neg votes for that, but I deserved it. @Estaca_de_Bares and I had some good games having spawned on the same side earlier, he carried me more than a little I think in some of them -
Really? And the head of the Roman Catholic Church is a Buddhist! It's a game, the realism is limited, if realistic all Radars and Hydros would be on 100% of the time + endless other elements that the game doesn't model.

BeauNidl3 replied to Cobra6's topic in General Discussion
@Captain_LOZFFVII in his Benson while I was in Chung Mu, game won after it looked very dodgy at the start and he played most of the game with a few hundred HP after being bombed badly, mind you I got to 2k HP early on after a radar incident so my AR skill paid off nicely. Well played that man @Cazador_Luna managed to farm the new plane kills achievement in his Missouri and came top, also a crackingly well played game with 2,339 base XP. -
I don't have a screenshot from a match with economic flags on to hand, but I'll try to explain what you should see. The Anti Detonation flag - Fairly self explanatory, basically there's a chance your ship will detonate from a hit when you've lost 25% of your HP or more, mostly used on Destroyers as they're very prone to detonations although it can happen to other classes, my last was in Cleveland the US Tier 6 cruiser. The Economic signals apply modifiers in the results screen, you need to expand the details to see them with the little arrows you can see in the XP and Commander XP bit I've drawn a bad box around. If I'd been running the Equal Speed Charlie London signal it would appear in the XP Modifiers bit like the Type 10 Camo and Clan Bonuses you can see. I'm certain that the economic flags work, so you just need to know how to see the benefit by looking at the details in the Credits and XP part of the results screen. I hope that helps a bit.

Let's face it ALL cruisers should have BOTH Def AA and Hydro, they are after all supposed to be utility ships, they're flimsy, have the same duration gun blooms as BB's, but they don't blink out like BB's on reload and they have to keep firing to do any real damage so they're visible to any BB that has a shot. People are doing a real Chicken Little "the sky is falling" screaming session about the Worcester, mostly from a few video's by Flamu who is a stellar player and did a completely unreal test of maxed AA in a training room session. I was watching that stream for quite a while and in several games he got completely molested on maps that didn't suit the ship or with teams that played poorly or both.

WG please stop stupid game with 5 DD
BeauNidl3 replied to FRMrBoumBoum's topic in General Discussion
Odd that as I find it far from rare to meet 7 or 8 BB a side, admittedly I sometimes play at odd hours where the MM takes a minute or so to make a game. As I said earlier the large BB population has driven a lot of cruiser players to play DD's or BB's to actually get to play the game rather than get zapped due to BB crossfire and citadels from all angles. -
As expected... with new Ranked season #9 the "Asashio" is now available in "Premium Shop"...
BeauNidl3 replied to Leo_Apollo11's topic in General Discussion
I've now actually met 2 decently played Asashios (from about 30 encounters, guess they've sold well) and 1 of them was in Ranked, he's clearly a very competent player and came second in the win having cap contested and spotted like a pro. Edit: Just had a game with 1 on each side, both were completely useless and the enemy one even committed suicide by my Kutuzov (def AA not Hydro) when he kept sailing into his own detection range in front of my guns. The one on the green team I suspect had absolutely no clue how to play DD, wide spreads at very distant targets (including a Minotaur), didn't spot, didn't cap, totally clueless. -
To be fair the UI is a bit poor, an improvement along the lines of Picture A would do no harm and some good. To newbies the interface is far from clear even though obvious to old hands. The poll options though aren't exactly unbiased.

modifying ship slots (inventory i guess?)
BeauNidl3 replied to EboyLarano's topic in General Discussion
I've no idea how many containers I've had from usually 3 a day, plus missions and events, but it's a LOT, never had a port slot in any of them. You're entirely welcome, the interface isn't exactly intuitive, it takes a bit of time to get used to the way they do it which is confusing to new players. I hope you have fun playing and get to grips with the various odd ways they have coded this game -
WG please stop stupid game with 5 DD
BeauNidl3 replied to FRMrBoumBoum's topic in General Discussion
It's far from unknown for games to have more than 5 BB a side, I've seen quite a few 7 and 8's. Limiting DD numbers to protect the precious BB's from the nasty fishes won't bring more cruisers. Many people that would prefer to play cruisers swapped to BB's and DD's because they got sick of being deleted by BB's, the number of cruisers being played is unlikely to increase due to the BB numbers. -
NEW PATCH: POSSIBLE BUG? Especially Ranked. Unfair new "DISCIPLINE"

NEW PATCH: POSSIBLE BUG? Especially Ranked. Unfair new "DISCIPLINE"
BeauNidl3 replied to SamuraiShakaViking's topic in General Discussion
That may well be how it reads, but not how it operates, on my Win 10 machines it doesn't download any patches without manual intervention. @SamuraiShakaViking, it's entirely possible for people from all over the place to play on whichever server they like, but each server has separate accounts. In my Clan we have 1 player in Saudi, many from various European countries, an Indonesian and at least 1 US. Many of the MMO's have different regional servers which aren't connected and have separate player bases. Additionally don't take what your ISP says as gospel, they're hardly famous for being truthful when a customer has an issue that means they would have to spend any time, money and effort to fix. -
NEW PATCH: POSSIBLE BUG? Especially Ranked. Unfair new "DISCIPLINE"
BeauNidl3 replied to SamuraiShakaViking's topic in General Discussion
Actually in Windows 10 if you set the connection to a metered one then Microsoft patches (all of them) will just sit and wait for manual intervention. I have mine tagged as metered even though it isn't for this very reason. A Clanmate had a real issue with game loading until he replaced the Norton suite with a different type, there are a fair few things that could cause the problems the OP is having, including mods, that aren't down to WG problems. -
PSA: Some nice deals in the premium shops right now
BeauNidl3 replied to tamagotchi's topic in General Discussion
I picked up a few as I'd been meaning to buy some Doubloons anyway, good value relatively. Thanks for the tip and also thanks for the Doubloon value table, it was useful. -

BeauNidl3 replied to Leo_Apollo11's topic in General Discussion
Now had 6 games with Asashios (since release, seen them in test a few other times) on one side or another, only 1 of them made any impact as in finished 1 ship and came 4th bottom. I'm sure people will learn how to play them better, but when on 2 separate occasions they flat out refused to go near a cap I don't hold out much hope. So far the ship is living up to my expectations of being really meh. -
Because it doesn't have smoke, he's exaggerating and quoting a divisioned situation with ships capable of smoking the Worcester. Additionally the really high numbers are from a build that people wouldn't play, Flamu used the training room with maxed AA modules and captain build done specifically for the test and changed from his random build and back afterwards. Sargento is prone to overblowing anything that risks his ability to pwn people with no counter.

WG please stop stupid game with 5 DD
BeauNidl3 replied to FRMrBoumBoum's topic in General Discussion
As a cruiser (and DD) driver I can interpret your nonsense this way. 1 team = 12 boat 5 BB = half of the team (!) 5 isn't half of 12, but what the hell, we're making stuff up here. 5 BB = Less cruiser (BB's delete cruisers anyway, so less food for easy XP pinatas) 5 BB = a stupid game It is not difficult to restrict the game with 3 BB (in one team) than stupid games with 10 BB on 24 boats. Thx ! See your post can easily be tweaked. -

BeauNidl3 replied to FRMrBoumBoum's topic in General Discussion
Same here, in DD's, especially low tier the one thing I'm concerned about is other DD's that spot me. I guess the OP is a classic BBaby who doesn't like the fact that DD's can do their job which is spotting and torpedoing him. -
Let me tell you whats *edited* wrong with high tier CVs
BeauNidl3 replied to Sargento_YO's topic in General Discussion
All absolutely correct and most of it boils down to the way they've currently implemented CV's and a daft response to them. I agree at least the Worcester has the utility all cruisers should have. There's an awful lot of core stuff that needs a total rework around CV's and AA. -

BeauNidl3 replied to Sargento_YO's topic in General Discussion
Indeed, I was watching the stream, the kill rate is ludicrous. Admittedly it is a totally extreme example as he used a build no-one would ever use for Randoms and there were no HE spammers blowing his AA off. As to the OP, guess you just carry on clubbing seals in your maxed out T5/6/7 CV's where there's next to no meaningful AA on most ships and the CV players are relative newbies. Have fun pwning people.
