I'm loving it... lots of my favourite ships at T6. Should get Warspite or maybe buy back Queen E.

Well, how about a Texas in a T7 game... yes I know, sealclubbing. Bit low on damage though. If someone can tell me how others manage that, I'll be happy to receive the info. 20181128_222949_PASB705-Texas-1944_20_NE_two_brothers.wowsreplay

Mainly I think their idea of calling it 'snowflake' is the best ever. @MrConway LOL! Great job WG!

I'm running a bit out of portslots, so considering getting some premiums. But we're getting so much stuff for free already. Was granted Arizona for free, nice one WG, and I bought Hood on sale (and gave Boat a Sims) because I think they're doing a good job. It's impossible to keep such a diversified lot happy, and meanwhile still run a viable business, but they are trying. meanwhile we got d some 'funmiums' and no doubt we'll get more in the future. However I do not understand why people would want those ships, unless they actually own something similar and like it. I was pretty happy with Arizona, because I liked New York and New Mexico. I doubt if I'd have liked Nelson, for instance. Izumo seems to me like the IJN Nelson. When I see one near, I always go after it (after checking for Derpitzes, mmmm tasty). I'd not call it a free XP piñata but usually they are quite 'farmable'. I can understand (I think) why you sold it.

Well, usually I AM the meatshield, and that HE-thingy would be my div-mate ready to put some fish in some bottoms... But when you want an AA-umbrella then you DO need to be close. Although I get some of those even when I use my Leander (which has no AA to speak of, but hey, they dunno...).

They should call next currency 'snowflakes' instead of steel or whatever. I'd find it hilarious.

That usually happens to me every 2/10 games. It is because a cruiser has read somewhere, he has to stick near a BB and use it as meatshield. Or, when it is a cruiser, there is a BB next to it because in the game there are CVs. It's not really the famous German dispersion. I've seen a teammate shoot a broadside New York from 5k though and miss all of it. And he wasn't an idiot. THAT is dispersion. But what I mean by 'n00Bs' is German BB drivers, sailing at 20km away, being detected, going in a straight line, I shoot - get citadel, and they still keep going, shoot again - another cit, and stil... well you get what I mean (and then, when at <100HP, a cruiser kills him...)

Those German BBs are quite good, but some of their captains must be drunk, N00bs or both... Well duh. But to chase it, is really fun. Usually it resulted in a chat and a friend to play divisions with. Colorado is good, most what ruins it is the MM. It's no fun in T9, not at all. Texas and Arizona are some of my favourites. I have no idea why I have bad stats in them. Sure I could do more damage, but usually I am in team with a DD (and he finishes them off). While we end up top half (usually even top 3) of the team (win or lose) we still get bad PR too. Something is rotten ion the state of Denmark... but well, they are still fun. I really do not understand why people want to play high tier matches. So boring.

Yeah I think it's fair now, or reasonably so at least. Well maybe not if you are a T7 Bb getting uptiered and... but hey. Why would it be exotic? I have hunted DDs a in a New york, even with a fair degree of success. Granted, it was when we still had Fubukis at that tier. Lately I have been up to chasing T9 DDs with the Colorado. Well, more like: can't run - can't hide - so let's go down swinging!

Best remark ever: two years instead of ten. I think you're a bit like me - first check if there is anything you'd REALLY like, before screaming "I want it". I'd not have a clue why I'd want a Musashi. I hate T9, hate T10, and I'll most likely suck at it too because I hate camping. A "Flint", yeah OK. Still it's a T7 Atlanta with better torps, why are people soooooo nuts about it? Probably because they have NO IDEA what usually happens to the average T7 cruiser...

I guess you also place lots of trust in politicians, newspapers, and TV-opinion-shows...

At least that made more sense. Try to realise on an F2P game everything is for sale. Yes they might give you a medal. But probably they'll make an even shinier medal for those that pay.

You realise I'm pulling your epeen ehh... leg, right? Also... you seem quite hungry. Wanna bite?

This makes sense. Yes you'll 'live' longer. But that's not to say playing DD requires skill. Because the rinse-repeat method works just as well with DDs or cruisers. They just die sooner.

Guess who told me I should shoot DDs more.... Not the case for DDs or CVS or whatever either. In ALL OF THEM you can just potato your way to T10. Enter game, try BLAP, fire HE, whatever, get killed, rinse, repeat. DDs are even cheaper than BBs... even faster to T10.

But some will not even learn even after a million battles. There's only SO MUCH people can learn. Some never will understand or have just lack of talent. Also, the grind/P2W is such that you never really have to learn. You can just play 1 line, 1 type and potato your way to T10 in ~ a thousand games or less. But THAT is also part of the problem - THESE people do not rely on team mates. They rely on 'potato, rinse, repeat' and get there anyway. And then OTHERS (it may be the ones that whine... and they may be correct) have to rely on exactly THESE team mates... Life is like a box of chocolates... Agreed that experience/expertise can be gained over time. I think at 12k battles you should be better than me at 10% of that. Maybe I will be that level too when I have your number of games, but it will not be next month I promise you that. Especially since I am still at the 'grinding' stages - lots of captains not at 19 points and lots to discover. Some of those 'unicums' really I do expect them to be in one of the above extremes. Doing nothing but train to get better... But the thing is, the same thing happens for the ones that are in T10 but actually are no good at all... except they play A LOT. Now how do you think the new CV meta is gonna work out... console-ready! Meh. Pressing WASD is maybe even harder than not to sit broadside in a smokescreen... or maybe not. Agreed though it's pretty lame. But about 'requires': If you use torps, it even shows you a white line where to fire them. Dumbed down to the max, here we go. I wonder what is more dumb-BLAP-capable, Dds or BBs? And did they whine? Yes they do, same as BB drivers. When smoke nerfed, when radar came.... BTW 'requires good torp RNG spread...'... ahem... same as having good RNG when firing AP (or HE). Baaaadddd reason IMO. I paid a lot for goats sacrificed to RNGesus, how about you? Did it help? What kind of goats did you send, I wanna know as it didn't help me... The basic issue is, can you BLAP it. But I do not see cruisers being able to BLAP anything. Yes I see SOME cruisers able to DoT-BLAP, which is baaaaad as well. Same dumbed down thing. For BBs and DDs though: So... can we BLAP IT:

Watch out though, your WR in Hindenburg is getting below 50% - maybe you are becoming...

Yes we would. General WR up by 10-20% for the average player...

Well at least if he was in a CV he could have shot himself at a convenient moment. Or maybe, since no team damage, torps cannot even be inflicted on oneself, hmm, weird stuff.

Yes they are. But let's get real, there are also people that have no life, and are no doubt very very good at this game. Plus there are people (kids?) that play this game, go pew-pew-pew at trees on islands, suicide, are AFK because of coffee, ram the other teammate, see how fast they can take a turn... How can you ever expect to get some kind of balance... Not saying you are either one of the above, but you WILL fit in somewhere in between... as will I. But hey, we will never be the unicums, always hovering between 45-55% h? Unless we go total... well... this: --> But we will never be as good as this guy.... unless we go: But your DD actually CAN do just this. Just not with single AP salvo - but using torps. And even from stealth, at least some DDs can. It's actually CRUISERS that really are in the sh!t. Guess what, 5BBs, 5DDs, 2 cruisers. How come?

I wasn't really serious... Quite obviously the Flint is just a bit better than Atlanta. But in current meta.. having an AA cruiser... even if it has torps. Hahahaha! I'd get it before getting anty T9/10 stuff though. Because I'm not that good, and because the gameplay there is simply argh. And hey, maybe WG decides to plop-plop steel from Christmas containers, wouldn't surprise me.

Oh goody goody, I'd actually want to get Flint. T7 cruiser, must be to my liking. Actually I don;t know what I;d do with those other steel ships except being mega-derp. But I fear I must lower my WR a bit still, currently it is waaayyyyy above 30%. I'm sure though that I'll succeed doing just that, no problem, grinding Monarch and Colorado and being úpgraded'to T9/T10 all the time... WOWS-WIkI: Flint is a Tier VII American cruiser that is a variant of the premium Tier VII American cruiser Atlanta, and is only available by reaching Rank One in three separate seasons of Ranked Battles. Flint is one of the rare cruisers that has access to the Smoke Generator (). She - and her sister ship, Atlanta - are unique in the game in that they have unlimited charges of the Defensive AA Fire () consumable. When coupled with her excellent anti-aircraft armament, she utterly shreds enemy planes. Flint’s torpedo armament is also improved over that of Atlanta; her torpedoes have a 9.2km range (versus Atlanta’s paltry 4.5km). Oh good, Torpedoboat... LOL!

Would something like "yours like many other BB players" maybe tell you a thing or two? Like, either they are ALL potatoes or it's kinda common if you have 5-6BBs per game that divide the XP? I guess you probably know then that if you are REALLY bad 30-35% is more likely.... or else go have a look. Currently I am grinding the Monarch... a ship that many "players who understand this game" are actually passing using their Free Xp... Before that, the King George V... well that wasn't the greatest ship ever, either. BOTH of these get constantly uptiered to T9/10. So don't tell me I never experienced a T10 game... I know more than enough about how they go. Most of the games I have are in division - which you do not seem to understand at all. Furthermore, if me and my div-mate end up in top 3 nearly every game we can't be that bad. But the most weird thing is, that you are actually telling a player who is similar to get a T8 premium. Yes it is a better moneymaker if you're actually any good, probably. But LIKE ME, he is not THAT good. What will happen is in that T8 he will constantly get T9/10 games, and he'll NOT do good, and lose credits.

When Boat73 is back, probably friday nights or weekend. Anything DD he'll surely like. But maybe we should give him something awful else he takes all the XP for himself.
