I've seen him play, can't say I'm entirely surprised.

Nope, again possible to game if sat behind an island, Des Moines radar with mod is 56 seconds. Plus there's Hydro..... As I said I suspect the detection mechanics are exactly the same in the code, just different ranges and durations, that's why they operate in exactly the same manner. DD's can be very effective and destructive, the game has evolved and been balanced (for want of a better term) with Radar and Hydro being available as primarily anti DD mechanics.

Let's see, I have 4 T10 DD's a couple of 9's and multiple 8's as well as a variety of lower tier ones, does that make me qualified to have an opinion? No you can't verify it, my stats have been hidden for ages as I despise the whole stats waving thing. No it's a silly idea, plus what about Hydro? I suspect the game uses the same coding for both and just different ranges. I find being radar illuminated a massive pain, but making a ship immune after a number of illuminations which could be gamed by a savvy DD driver turning in and out of radar (risky, but possible) is not a good idea.

Don't be daft, with that HP, torps range and general stats it would be useless fishfood in a T10 game and T8's face T10's all the time.

Last time you proposed this (why didn't you just reuse the thread from the other week?) people thought it was silly, people still think it's silly. Give it up it's a daft idea with no merit.

Yup, I was agreeing with you, and disagreeing with the OP's assertions it was stupid o'clock, sorry.

What he said^^. To the OP.... Sorry, you're the one insisting that MM is rigged and trying to get people to agree with you, as you're the one making the claim it's up to YOU to provide evidence other than a vague feeling then people may agree with you, until then you're just complaining. There is no motivation for WG to rig the MM, in fact it's in their interest for it to be fair and unbiased. I've had a nasty losing streak over the last week, quite a few where I played well, capped, spotted, did massive damage and still lost and some where I played like a complete moron and definitely contributed to the loss. Some of the losses were undoubtedly bad MM, but I've had wins with good and bad. I don't think the MM is rigged, just a bit poorly balanced at times and there's a fix in the works for that.

While I've had occasional issues with client crashes, I've not had more than 2 in the last 3 weeks., I'm not sure I'd describe that as most of the time. None of my clanmates have mentioned frequent issues in the recent weeks either. What have you done to try to fix the issues you're having? Fix and Repair in the client tool? Removed all mods? Fresh client install? PC drivers up to date?

Yup, it's not that common, fairly funny when it happens though. I had to read that 3 times before I understood your point, it's true though. The system would have to cope with effectively multiple missions and maybe aggregate things like ribbons in a 3 in COOP = 1 in Random, pointlessly complex to code and a bit fiddly to understand for some players.

I do play COOP occasionally (missions or not) for stress free blapping and it's not that rare to see that sort of chat, I just ignore it or laugh.

Indeed, I see no need to change and COOP games are so fast (missions or not) that there's no impact anyway, just a few more players. Not sure I understand why you'd feel any need to change it.

The only thing that stands a chance of changing the BB camping is a hard cap on BB numbers. They will stop being scared of many BB guns and cruisers will be able to play more dynamically rather than having to cower in fear of 5 BB crossfire, we see this in Clan Battles.

Working for me.

It's an Operation scoreboard. Even COOP ones show the enemy team.

^^ What he said. I'm no unicum player, but I finished both relatively easily by normal playing and repeating a few tasks here and there. It just takes a while.

So you think skill based MM would avoid this type of situation? It would be nice, but I doubt it.

At a relatively low price too @Hailstorm4, it's a nice DD to play, had mine quite a while and it's good fun.

My first win in that ship, I never like having to run, but staying would have been suicide against DD, Hindenberg, several bomber squads and 2 BB's, the Udaloi driver did get rather annoyed. Good to see you as always

What a pile of absolute horsedroppings. I agree the "ideas" in this thread are silly and unworkable, but your statement is blatant bollards. BB's camp because they CAN, they have the range and big guns to farm damage safely, they should be the ones SUPPORTING they have the HP, heals and armour to do so, but most BB drivers flat out refuse to push or actively support the DD's and Cruisers in case they get their camouflage paintjobs scratched.

It will remain there, able to be completed until you complete 1 of the 3 then you won't be able to accept a new third task.

Using cash to convert XP and using free XP to race up the lines isn't terribly wise. There are lessons you learn as you play ships at lower levels that you will NEED to have learned by the higher tiers or not only will you be a complete liability to your teams you will not get any fun as you will just play badly. Just because you have a higher tier ship it doesn't mean the game gets easier, quite the opposite as the enemies are also more accurate, hit harder and will be very much more experienced so you will just be a light snack as they punish your mistakes. WoWs is not at all forgiving of novice players and it's downright savage to novices in high tiers.

It needs to be fully researched + Monarch researched to generate convertible XP. You haven't researched GFCS or propulsion. Why do you want to convert freeXP anyway? There's no discount active and it makes no sense to convert at 25:1, wait for the next 35:1.

One can only assume it's driven by some server side statistics.

Actually there's also:- Jack Dunkirk (Royal Navy) Yamamoto (IJN)

Well with needing IFHE and CE spare captain points for AA aren't a real option, especially if it's not spectacular. No biggie.
