That’s exactly what WG wants; a fun, exciting and balanz game played by players of outstanding ability, and of course an excellent karma feedback system to match said play and MM.

Another Day in WG inspired crapness, as a laugh thought I'd take the T8 Odin for a spin, the lowest tier BB in the team, incompareable was the only bb that finished above me, and he'd died, only Malta and I were left, so if game hadn't ended (red balloon home), i'd have finished higher, and we have supposedly the best escort BB (ohio) and Starred players in the team. 4 X 10 and 1 x OP T9 BB's, ROFL to the Adriatico who took out the fletcher and ran like the clappers from me.

Just the one game today, in newly acquired republic with lowly 13 pointer, camped in red's base killed 3 including the "top rated" player (shimi) - ROFL. But by then the rest of the team had lost the game. Can't be arsed to play any more today with the usual WG administered player base !.

Solely a situation as a result of WG's sheer incompetence, karma's broke, mm is broke, and no matter what operation they can come up with it's screwed up by noobs and total friggin idiots, first game tonight an Elbing did a 180 crashed into an island in the middle of nowhere, continued to go along the length of the map, blazingf away Another see below; rest of the team is fighting hard with a very close finish and then the sudden realization when we'd died that the last 2 greens are at the start of the map doing their own friggin thing. Allowing Noobs or idiots to gain access to high tier botes, sums it up, at least the rubbles keep rolling eh comrade !!.

Last game of the day; a victory and finally a VERY CLOSE game, which is how it should be WG !!!!!. I haven't blacked out the kremlin player because as an average player myself I feel that very good players should be mentioned, I was the sole survivor of the game (essentially winning), even though the Kremlin Rammed Yammy, my second rack of inbound torps would have done the job in any case. It's been a long time since I've seen a really good player (quite common before covid), The Kremlin player and also North Carolina player I came across earlier in the day (unable to screenshot at time), were easily the best players I came across today. I do think we should have a post dedicated to players we think/feel deserve recognition in light of the shite Karma System WG has in place. The screenshot, more for Kremlin's benefit than mine, I would've also praised red Yammy, however given they rammed each other and that yammy saw me before ramming, he failed to fire a single shot at me, had he done so he could have drawn the game upon ramming Kremlin = Solely Going for the ram was more a personal thing than team thing !. Whereas Kremlin knew sacrificing himself (5 seconds later my torps would've done the job), leaving me as sole survivor we'd win. Night Peeps.

Point 2. Another defeat, another ok personal performance; and more absolutely clueless players.

Solely for Kark's benefit/to prove a point, already well known . 2nd game of the day, a defeat, bored already, this time in Gearing, as per previous. Until WG resolves it's own mess relating to the player base any and all modes will be blighted by it !.

Ah Kark my sparring partner good to hear from you, thought you’d gone awol, and for once I actually agree with you I do have anger issues, skill issues definitely not as like you ; I’m amazing 😏. I think many and numerous screen shots in all classes would tend to give a true reflection, like some more 😝?. I do really think you should change your I luv WG mankini more often though. And Finally kark am I actually wrong 🤔. Update; Kark probably digging mankini out (too tight ;-), First game of the day; A win, 4 kills (2 of which were ohio's) In a Harugumo, btw only 2 other players killed more than one; red Montana = 2 and Red Schlieffen = 2, so it deffo ain't me Kark ;-).

Not posted for a while, as couldn't be arsed, glad to see balloon battles back on, one of WG's better modes, BUT once again as per normal total idiots play their own totally different mode. Going thru my port playing with botes that don't get much use these days; Indom, Alabama, FDG, Alsace and doing ok (FDG below), surprising how many ranked stars and subs finish bottom, NOT !!. May take out my more used botes (Salem, Gearing, shimi, sherman etc), but tbh already getting bored (excitement for the mode killed by noobs, idiots and subs).

WG get a FRIGGIN grip, we all know how bad the state of the game is. Just played a game and the aiming was all over the shot, in Salem firing at fully broadside goliath 12km away, multiple perfectly aimed salvo's, every single one fell short. That's not my equipment or me that's WG incompetence, SORT THE FRIGGIN GAME !!.

With the very annoying auto Torp avoidance, near instant turret traverse and manoeuvrability bots already had a helping hand and with buffs they now charge in less, in doing so they now look a lot better than most of the player base especially noobs with low point commanders. That’s what WG did and obviously what WG wants.

The standard has been dropping for years and the pandemic certainly has not helped, sadly each and every brain fart WG has the standard drops even lower; Cv rework, commander rework, subs, high tier premiums that any complete muppet can buy, add in MM, crap Karma system, GREED, non existent training / intro (many still don’t know what that is in the bottom right), WG are totally aware but as there’s no money in it, sweet fa will be done to correct what’s killing the game; WG themselves!!..

I have Tulsa and did really like it a lot and then I got Salem, as a result DM got sold and Tulsa sits in port. Yes it’s good but Salem’s oh so much better.

I disagree re steam, yes it brought more players to the game but that was years before the pandemic struck, the pandemic/lockdown and WG’s whole greedy incompetent and arrogant attitude towards the player base is solely to blame; look at Dido and canary being pushed out again aimed at noobs who haven’t got a clue how poor they are, karma system is crap, MM, training / intro to game, Capt skills, Cv rework, aa, subs ; you know the thing WG promised we’d never see and that most of the player base said NO thanks to; and we have them in game. You literally could not make it up how badly WG have managed what could and should be the best game on the planet, but given WGs origins is it any wonder that it’s not: make something great and to be admired and then flush it all down the toilet !.

Totally agree and the latest re introduction of 2 average at best cruisers (dido and canary) speaks volumes about WG’s blinkered and short sighted vision. Anyone actually grinding the port event (harder than it usually is 😏), WG and we know what WG’s issues are and they’ll do absolutely sweet fa about it, while shipping players and seeing gaming standards continually sliding into a cesspit. Give it time and WOWS will be exactly like WOP and the Dodo.

A little Co-Op Cruise in Edgar.

I’ve got Gearing, Mino and Hindy of which hindy is the only one I use, the concealment is nerfed to 14km but in return you get a very durable kick arse cruiser, Minos is a waste as I prefer radar Mino and as for Gearing a couple of hundred metres extra concealment for slower firing guns ; no thanks, I prefer radar Yeuyang instead.

I’ve got Kidd and Cossack but much prefer Loyang, the gimped torps of the other 2 really do effect their usefulness. My fave t8 dd is lightning but it’s also gimped by very short range torps, increase them to 10km and you’d transform her into a predator.

WG proclaims to be generally based on historical ships and throughout the year features really good information relation to battles, yes they still shun the likes of Laffy and Sheffield etc but generally it’s ok, except of course all the nonsense op Soviet stuff, especially cvs, Russia a country renowned for its many famous historically heroic cvs, given that the soviets one and only port pig has had a recent fire can I lease ask WG to apply a buff to all Russian cvs so that they spontaneously combust, WG will then at least be able to claim historical accuracy.

Don’t care haven’t done Dockyard since getting D7P, not aiming for either of the 2 pointless botes.

Emmm interesting, How to Cv ?. Pity I don’t agree with it. I’ve got a lot of cvs but only play the same 3 regularly; Shokaku, Van perserval and Audacious. The first 2 I play agressively charging into the cap, aud sits a bit further back. The first thing I do in a cv is spot the entire red fleet, then I throw up fighters to keep red Cv and DDs lit, then I start hunting, as the game develops so do my tactics if my team are pushing on a flank I’ll add air power and extra clout as well as air cover if not I’ll carry on spotting and taking out stragglers. My advice ; spot, provide air cover, use island cover don’t charge into a lot of ships attack only one but try to make one attack run a series of attacks on following ships. Don’t sit on the edge of the map and do get as close to the action as you can.

Do you count coal ships as premium and do you count the ones you get free in crates (Roma etc).

Daring is my least played T10 DD, it requires a skilful player and a 21 point skipper, it’s not a cap contester, it’s AA is woeful and smoke only good for disappearing, it’s slow. The guns are good (a little slow) but have very good range, lighting fires is easy with daring, the heal and torps also compliment the bote, I’ve seen a recent group test that put Daring in the top slot, for me I prefer Haragumo, Gearing and Yeuyang, with Halland and Sherman after that. Daring is a bote that stars in the end game and you don’t see that many in game. Stay close to suppport (just in front of friendly cruisers), don’t try to cap unless red dds are dead.

Despite the very very anal auto Torp avoidance co ops are a lot easier than in previous years and yes they last less than 5 mins, dds and cruisers charge in and blap the bots while bb players are still thinking about where to camp. Even a co op with just one player is easy; I had Edgar in a all Supership co op match I got 5kills (why no krakens etc for co ops !!). Well over 250k damage and totally bossed the game. It was very boring, thankfully I’ve fallen back on another recent addition ; Salem, my new favourite bote, it’s a lot of fun 😃. The thing is I’d rather have a quick gaming session than play with total idiots in a random.

No a lot about WG is VERY idiotic though and we all know what they are, WG’s Moderators remind me of the kgb and Fsb they certainly don’t moderate but they definitely do dictate, there’s no grey area and they’re never wrong, out of the blue you get a long long boring explanation of why you’re being banned etc and that’s the end of it, try pming them and zero response, it’s all in keeping with soviet ideology, WG say they’ve Broken ties with Russia but who here actually believes that, I don’t. Instead of insta banning someone they could send a pm asking for the post to be edited becuase of…. , if not you’ll get a ban. While temporarily freezing the topic. unlike in Russia free speech is just that we can say what we like, WG throws its toys out of the cot and we get banned. So no moderators are not idiots or stupid but they are very dictatorial and unswerving.
