Maybe he means a pile of dung will always take sort of a triangular shape?

What I see is he clearly has a different playstyle. That German DD was playing more like you. The good/bad thing about it is, he'll probably get a better PR than you due to farming much more DMG. But I know I'd rather have YOU on my team. He's not spotting, nor capping much. I also know, when I play a DD I'd have made the same choice he did - because I'm not any good.

I think this player was never a threat to you. Look at how he even stays behind the BBs. The V71 was more dangerous to you than he was, as such, maybe he made the right choice. I can see the logic in that... better get 3 BBs + kraken than 3 torps from Saltface. Which is what he deserved. As I see it from how he played, he never could have, he'd just have died and given you an extra kill. This player is a chickenshit. I didn't check stats. Maybe they are higher than yours. But remember DMG plays a large part in stats. He got 3BBs and a kraken, who will have the better stat-score? He might also have thought "F this SH I'm out" and gone for the easy job.

Maybe he was, but only a fool takes an equal battle - I'd have gone for the 3BBs too. Since he had a kraken, it was not his fault his team lost. Yours was better. But killing the 3DDs instead of knife-fighting was the smart thing to do IMO.

Slower reload, troll dispersion and less range will do the trick.

Yes, that is a problem indeed, and they (IMO) FF-ed it up. What could have been done is (insted of the nutty "sector left/right") is really easy, as well as fun. - Give the ships AA-patterns, and let them vary by pressing a button; - if you spec the captain to AA or the ship to AA you get MORE patterns and can VARY them faster. - THEN it would be a challenge to see who'd win... WASD or not. Yes they did, therefore making it stupid and unfun. Agreed. In fact they stated so themselves. It is a WIP with us as test dummies.

Well, maybe he went OH NOOOOO it is Saltface in his Kamikaze, let's get the FF outta here. I'd probably pick the 3 BBs too over challenging you in a Kamikaze

You sure can. In fact you are more likely to score better if your team is sort of losing. Often it means you do not have to go find a target. Sometimes they just come up as sort of 'customers'. You'll recognise it when this happens: - your team starts a lemmingtrain, but they go the exact opposite of where you spawned; - you soon find there's something behind you, so you take position behind an island; - and then you see the red team is lemmingtraining as well... right into your torps/guns... I've had this happen several times, best scores I got when my team was losing, but not TOO fast... Best time was when I was in a fat US BB, I could not keep up with the lemmingtrain, so... I found a DD was coming up behind me, loaded the HE, shot him to bits, then a cruiser, then another...

I know, I have a Conqkek... shot CV many times. They can give you hell as well. I'd rather take on a BB at close range. 20km or so, best distance. Conqkek doesn't need to come closer. Problem there: CV moves away further... and then sends airmail...

If you have a teammate that has a good BB, well... no armoured flightdeck will save you. I caught you there capping, suppose it would have been my usual div-mate (he plays IJN CV) a then I'd have been in Conqkek... This time though I was with some clan-mates in an apparent team of potaters... Yes indeed doesn't matter, the CV stays fully functional. No turrets, torpedo-stuff or anything lost. Damage off a CV is useless XP, like farming HE. But I was too far in at that point and would have lost all planes anyway. No recall! Eheheheh well that can last all but 3 minutes nowadays. Yes, I expected your team to lose as well, I killed one DD and the other spent all his time chasing me and killed him too. So, that's TWO dead DDs, and the CV occupied, so what the hell did the rest of the team do. But hey... then I saw you killed another 3 (plus me, but wasn't much left...), well... I guess the difference was more than only the CVs+captains of those.

Yeah that is why I came looking in the first place. Usually when something is capping, it is a DD. So I hit another ship on the way... and what do I see.... and OK since I have full throttle and can't turn anyway... Yes it is. Unless on the way there you find a Fuso, and a Bayern - and you have 3 strikes. Also remember to drop a fighter squad just outside his AA range, but in detection range... (if you are in a div with a BB you just gave him 40k... he'll say BOOMSHANKA thaaaaankkss!) That is sort of true. You forgot the "this game is designed" part is a major ff-up. This game promotes you to think of stuff to FF-around, really. I'd have more damage if I did "what was intended"... but this is more fun.

Sometimes I get one though, depends if he is close enough. This time you got me, the DD was kinda helpful Better next time. haha no way who am I kidding.

I'll do it when they move... first chase them by 'fake attack', then when they think I'll not do it... BAM. Not with HMS Inflatable yet, I'll have to study that one a bit more it seems.

Might be the sensible option. 4-6 only? Try 8. Or the other way. You start a agame, put CV in reverse, set sector, launch RF... half the enemy is dead already... you go waaaaaiiitt I wanna kill something... BAM BAM BAM... game over. You have managed to kill one DD and damage a BB. But hey, you won... https://forum.worldofwarships.eu/topic/9009-what-were-your-greatest-gaming-achievements-today/?do=findComment&comment=3128277

They still do. I don't have to do all the drops... maybe I have some less-than-full-potato teammates. OK fat chance, but just maybe. Haha you saw that eh. That's why I use the last drop... as a bungee-shot. Yeah those were "bungees" though... except the first one when I spotted you (and I did not get deplaned...). That first DD went as should. BAM BAM dead. The second one... man he was good and/or RNGesus hated me. Will get you next time though... oh wait... I'll probably be grinding HMS Impotable.... never mind... That is correct...

Probably means you are not a potato, at least not a big fat useless one. I don't have AP bombers, only RN (HE spraypaint bombs) and US (two bombs each I think) upto T8. But I also use HE bombers and torpedoes for DDs... because I can... (well... I can in any other CV than the T8RN... but I'll learn...) If you don't get them, tell me who did you bribe. OK TBH yesterday it was more like 5 minutes, maybe 7 but <<< 10 minutes. And then you hear ÿou are the last hope" and I go Oh great here's me in the HMS Delirious.

I support the claim. I have seen it happen. There are sucjj potatoes that they fly straight into the flak. BOOM. All dead. And then they do it again... going full speed while coming in, hoping to score faster. Having exhausted the boost when they actually attack... That is not what he means. He is talking about the ABSOLUTE potato. The ones that see the flak and go: WOOOOOWWWW COOL!!! The ones that wanna hit that FULL HEALTH ship, because it will deliver more points... The ones that think if the reticule widens, it means you will hit a larger area... Let's see what other bubkus did I hear/read in game... I'm sure you know the type though. For some... it is still not easy enough... You'd think they attack a DD with rockets, but nooooo. They use AP bombs and then go reeeee reeee Then again - even a with the RTS version some did get a strike or two in. They still do, luck is a thing here. But what he means is related to THIS WORST KIND of potatoes: - with RTS it was the better CV that shut them down; - ...and now they just shut themselves down (AKA get themselves slaughtered by AA). Have you seen them go in with two planes into a Helena... I have... here's how: Even if you fly STRAIGHT into the flak with a full squad (6) you get some damage, but Helena will kill all 6. Then what happens, they go ASAP again... with two planes... respawn doesn't matter... OK maybe if it was 6 planes per second. If you are a reasonable player you will definitely NOT get shut down by AA in the Reeeework. Uuhh... well... Unless you have bad luck and your RN T8 Inflatable ends up in a TX match with loads of Mino, DM and the like. EVEN THEN you can do something, you'll just have to wait until they are a bit pre-fried. So you spot them. If your team is not completely half-witted, they'll shoot them. OK sometimes they are... half-witted or not even that. Then you'll just kill one or 2 DDs... and the math ends in <5 minutes...

In case you didn't notice so far: when the CV gets shot up by HE, the AA goes as well (same as other ships). Actually it goes quite fast... if I can, I plant the last rocket plane(s) on the CV, using the "invulnerable time". After a while... here come the torps... and the bombs... just watch out for the fighters (but you know how...). Was trying to stick it to you last time but those damn DDs spoiled it Yep. I think this kind of potato doesn't even know how to avoid poles sticking out of the sidewalk. They just run straight into them... Well maybe they are lucky and can get a few attacks in, after all RTS CV could not always get them with fighters either. I bet though most of them do not even KNOW the Flak is avoidable....

Agreed, but I can do nasty things to the other CV as well... Well, maybe we have worse potatoes now, too. I don't remember having 3-minute-ROFLSTOMPS a year ago. No it's still crap. But now WG holds the bat/pole instead of the unicums, so... ehh... actually that's no improvement, is it? However... it is now RNG-based instead of based on skills of the other CV.

Well, the fact is indeed the result isn't any better... we agree on that. I like the UI better, but that is a matter of taste (and it will fit the PS4 much better... yup... coincidence...). But... WG can raise or drop the AA, where they could NOT raise or drop the amount potatoes that got whacked by unicums. This is sort of how I see the difference: With Reeeeework CVs, WG has now put poles on the sidewalk and potatoes keep crashing into them. With RTS CVs there were poles on the sidewalk too, but other CV were holding them like baseball bats. Sure potatoes 'get clubbed' anyway, and the result is mashed potatoes, but there IS a difference...

Well... I think this is the point though. I'd not call that "gets shut down". I'd call it similar to an idiot showing broadside to RNGesus in the fat BB. Or staying in the secondary-spray of a Currywurst... I would not call that "getting shut down". These are the same people that "get shut down" everywhere else. Yes they'd probably be bad RTS CV players, too - but WG cannot help/fix THAT difference. Because the potato does not get outPLAYED. He just gets OUT... of ability. On a side note: In the T8 Inflatable I also get sort of shut down. But has nothing to do with ability (or maybe a bit).

I still find that very weird... OK you take "the strongest", I understand that you do. I'll try explain. Enterprise is a premium, meaning it will not get nerfed. They'll not touch it. So what they'll do is uprate AA and all stupid stuff they can think of (...shooting the last plane OMG). So, there (assuming) they have counter-balanced Enterprise.... LOL. Now you can probably think what will happen to CVs weaker than Enterprise (all of them) after such "balanz". Either they have to be buffed or they just become floating piñata's. Guess what... Also, I think WG isn't balancing using Enterprise. I think they use TX CVs. Ah well....

Yes some were really OP, but what you are doing you take the one that is most OP of them all... Do you think they'd complain if all CVs were like T8 implodable... I mean, complain they will, but his much? On the other hand... if they all were.. nobody would play them. I agree that they were fixable - nerf the bombs and torps, and presto. But that's not what WG wanted. So they killed the fighters, and changed the UI. I do like the UI... however bringing in 3 strikes was a dumb idea, the old way was better and more balanced. Not yet (fresh 10pt captain), but it will only help 10% and that will not be enough. However since I have a 19pointer it will grind out quickly. The main thing is the damage though. Can't even kill a DD reliably with it. If two come for me, I'm screwed. I agree there - potatoes are gonna potate. In the old CV they had sort of auto-aim, which helped... a little. And now they just pick the wrong ships or miss the target. There's no fixing potatoes. Ah goody. Now scram, before I decide to put you on my hitlist when playing CV.

Ah goody. I was already thinking it might be me after all. Indeed little improvement to Furious. The main thing is it is also visible from the moon, nice if you get a small map (not). I'll reach the Audacious soon enough. Yeah, some are stronger than others... I know that. But blapping by CV was very much possible. How do you think they weren't strong? IMO the RTS CVs were VERY strong.

Well, I even use slingshot and terrain, still can't get some with that damn Inflatable. And I can even hit CVs with Lexi, rockets, bombs and torps - so I know it's not me. Compared to which others, BBs? I never had any other BB blap mine. Plenty times I had a CV blap mu BB - not possible anymore.
