nah he means Yamato not trying to rush Smol in smoke and perform a drive-by.

I'm quite sure he means something like, for every CV that wins (and griefs the red team) the red team has a CV too which griefs his team even more by being the main potato factor in the defeat...

Yes, this is why I think Ark Royal is a challenge. The challenge though is to get 100+ games every time, so... it's still broken AF, somehow.

I'm liking it too, in most ships. Especially in Conqueror or Thunderer... lovely. Hit me, then! One of the best games I ever had was in Conqkek, on epicenter-mode, in a snowstorm. Did my damage record in that one. I didn't park for a second, everybody else did and there wasn't a ship that I had not hit. I'd really like the last option... let's see what happens. Generally I am sick of the three-caps-always-same-camper-maps. At least Epicenter mode forces the teams to either fight or die.

And you forgot, still no Yorkie.

Today we saw @SkybuckFlying.... my clanmate in the CV this time.

In my case, every time something "pops up" it stutters. Could be minor, but sometimes you suddenly get 6 ships spotted, and then I get huuuuge stutter. Not all the time though, so what it is???? I think some server-data-sending issue.

Same thing happening here, not so much with torpedos. but other stuff will. More of that:

Ditto!

It does... well for me. This time you were in the Kaga as well. You managed to blap one of my divvies... LOL. And then you started to collect my pelt hahaahaha! However my team were sniffing glue, they followed my one teammate around whatever he did (he was cursing in discord, too). When he set something on fire, what they did was all spam HE at it... disregarding anything else. And as such they were getting killed. Also seemed only my mates wanted to cap... duh... so I got slaughtered. Only 45K for me. Grats on doubling my score! But just when all seemed lost... a guy named @bathtub_admiral in his Thunderer (and @ChrisAmon, the guy in the Petropavlovsk) saved the day - turns out he is also a forumite. And then your team found the glue (my team left plenty I guess), so we won. Undeserved must say, except the mega-carry from Bathtub_Admiral & that guy in Petropavlovsk!!

Well I sent all that a while ago, got a standard reply, and still have stutters... Did you send your specialist to Siberia to catch more hamsters @MrConway?

Just practising for... ehh... uneven battles or what is that called... Those two Izumos now owe me pictures of their flabbergasted faces. Yeah T9 is really just sealclubbing.

This weekend, I saw @LoveZeppelin (we promised to not remember this match happenend). Even with 2 divmates couldn't carry it. Well at least I sort of matched Parseval output.

BTW @El2aZeR look at those poor T9 seals. I'll try to be #1 next time, I promise masterrrrr....

I'll try predict what it will do. A CV will no longer spot anything at all. Why should he, to get his planes dead? CV will just wait for something to be spotted. And then decide to attack or not. As simple as that. Because if he has to go spotting for it, he'll find the AA first and then he'll find out if it is a fat snack or indigestible crap. What it will do is make CVs just wait what will happen. Like a BB sitting at the back line but worse. Compare it to, a BB that has a hint/feeling there's something, and then you fire, depending on what you shoot at your turrets get blown off. You'd not shoot. You wait for somebody else to spot what it is, and then you'll shoot. If it is not a nice snack but just blows your turrets off, you do not shoot. So, suppose you see a cap being turned, but the enemy team has a Halland and has a Mino and a Wooster. Screw that, not shooting it. Makes sense?

Well, rockets have been nerfed (no way to insta-delete a DD unless he goes broadside... mostly), and some think that they should now start attack the CV and get away with it. Muhhhh!! Not!! Next a planned even more reduction of spotting-distance for DDs, what's next? Invisible DD for CV until its torps are up the CVs behind? Usually DDs are not my prime target, but really, maybe I should make it so. Meanwhile, every other ship gets spotted... nothing happening about the BASIC problem. WG, finally fix it - make CV spot just for the ships ~8km away from the planes - like in storm. @Excavatus IMO that would solve MOST of the problems.

Yup. And, like those, Smolensk usually gets blapped by "I did not see that one coming". My usual way of blowing up (in) a Smolensk is by that BB at 20km, full hit, whammo. But oh man, when you find that fat BB that is slowly going backward/forward, fires every 30 seconds or so, and just keeps doing it...

I mostly get blapped by BB HE when in Smolensk, two-three shells and you are dead as a doornail. and when I see one in my Conq or Thunderer I do it myself. In Conq I even go hunting for the buggers. It is a filthy little trollboat though, and I usually go close to cap to blap Dds. Yes you can try raining fire on longer distance, but it doesn't work that well. First, you need something to be spotted - for a loooong time. Because it will take time before the magic rainbow gets there. Then, you actually need to hit it - and those shells are so floaty, forget hitting a cruiser at > 10km unless he is oblivious/occupied. Then, you need luck - because if that fat tasty BB just used DCP, then he is invulnerable for 30 secs. If he already has one fire, and you manage to give him a second/third, guaranteed he'll use DCP and no score, too. And then, if you haven't paid your sheep to RNGesus chances are others will set those fires and well, if he is on fire already you can't make any more. Second-last - finally you manage those 3 permafires (hurray) and then that BB gets blapped before you actually "harvested". So, last-and- final: what you need is a bow-tanking, permaspotted tomato in a fat full-healt BB, that fires regularly and stays spotted, nobody else firing on him, and his teammates not giving a crap...

Yes it does, I consider it a valid opinion. In fact he managed to do it in one pic and you needed a lot of words.

BTW @El2aZeR I think the only complaint you get is: Hey you, leave one for me please!

Well, in this case @Beastofwar is sort of right. All you get is "spot CV" or "CV kill that DD", and if you do not: N00b CV. Ok the last thing might be correct, LOL. Last week they wanted me to spot and go after a lone Halland. Hey N00b CV! Get that Halland! Which I did not, as I was on the other side of the map and I was farming the red BBs. Ended up I could farm those BBs faster than the Halland could farm my whiners. I could seriously not think of a reason I should forsake my own grind just to save their butts. Ok a Halland, is a nice (somewhat risky) snack. But only if you get it. If 3 cruisers and a BB are there, chances that you'll be doing the damage (not just spotting) are about as high as my karma. So I left them there, farmed a Musashi and a Derpitz to death... we won.

well mine have gone up as well. Many covid-potatoes to farm. However: winrate is unaffected...

One server hamster got hit by a Supercontainer, probably.

Yes I agree, that will work guaranteed. But will they do it? This is the behaviour I expect, really. But we'll see. If needed I'll take Ryujo or Ark Royal, I can just club the high tiers with it if must be.
