t10 is expensive for average player I lost a couple of millions just to test Yamato. Mostly cuz games end too fast before I can contribute anything, which in turn forces u to move when u shouldnt, push when y should stay put and risk when you would never do that in a low tier game. You are left exposed too fast and in a ship like this, easily the bulkiest i've played and I grinded izumo with no premium, its suicide. I know I will die before I push W usually, it is just that there are no other options left after the flag melted.

0 most of times. It goes up to 9-10 when im polite in chat but goes back down when I explode and start yelling which i do although i regret it later. Since I report a lot I dont mind its rather fun for me

Just give CVs a set amount of planes (maybe a bit more and thats it)

I unlocked the Yamato after many games in lower tiers and im having a similar experience. Actually im in the mid of my worst streak with any ship ever. Some of it is learning to play it and some of it is that i think it is a very co-dependent ship. Its worst than Izumo which was an one trick pony but you knew it from start. If yr team dont behave in a rational manner yr ded. Whatever you do or well you play (bar some miracle which dont happen against experienced players) you cant influence the result as much as in other tiers (again cuz players are experienced and they know all the tricks in the book). I realized that i slowly started playing worst and worst with the ship cuz of that, even after a couple of mins in game i knew this was going bad and i just couldnt motivate myself to try my best wanting the game to be over. Which I rarely did in the other tiers. Part of it is the toxicity there, but also the strange mm that sends the more experienced players in one team the less so or idk on the other. Is it on purpose? I dont think so but it is strange how usually one team just collapses mentally in mins or from start. I still like the ship and use but when i want to have fun I take the gneiss for a spin. Maybe it is just the ship, too co-depended to the support from team, or the huge disparity in dd play which is what i have noticed. Some ships just dont gel and there have been ships I really didnt like or played well but not like this. This is also on the teams, I had three games in row where the team died by the time I rellocated behind island to cover a cap. Literally I looked around after i heard the scary voice, no one left and it was a couple of mins before the 10 min mark.

I compliment good plays against me (where im sure no rng was involved or too much anyway). Good teamplay always, even if it leads to defeats, unfortunate players and people i insult when i explode in chat. Which I do. I get reported occasionally (often) and I dont mind as I report back and I always know which player did it. You can tell from the chat a report is coming and you respond. Myself make a plan to always report heavily things I dont like in game or chat. Aggressive language or insulting players, shaming, all the git guds buffoons, the division smartarses, the gurus wit the age inflated stats but insanely stupid suggestions and those that do not support the logical course of action and prefer to live at others expense. Its healthy and cathartic. If i made a mistake I apologize to the team and own up but also give em my piece of mind if they do imo and that's it.

same thing happens to me. Some days its worse some it goes away. Live in Greece

I mentioned this on another thread. I think a good CV player even worse two can ruin your day fast if you're unlucky (you start with little help close) or do something brave (stupid), or your team makes a right when you did a left. I usually know how the game will game go from the first mins when there are two CVs in game. If they are good you are in for trouble unless your team and you make a stronk blob and don't panic. Not easy without divisions in random. A good strategy is to try and move as fast as you can towards cover or a couple of more juicy targets than you, unless you drive an Izumo stock like me this week (no turn, no speed, 30 something AA t9, a behemoth) , then you are ded. I start curse on chat to get everything out of my system (then I apologize and upvote the CV) and move on to the next game.

Okay I see it, although I narrowed it down a bit with the assumption that the t10 guy/girl knows what he's doing and your suggestion for a small percentage chance change is a good one, getting uptiered less would be nice. I agree about the t5/6/7 tiers being worse, I havent stated it clearly trying to answer to the original post but I dont disagree or argue this. I can see now that I may have given the wrong impression. I am anti +2 in general and not a defender of t8s but it is what it is. Can we have an event that gives creds? Now that will put a smile on my face

Ahm ye I agree with what u say, i may have stated my desire for a more even mm there haha they prob won't fix anything and perhaps its better if they dont tinker with it too much as it may turn worse :D Most games I dont mind it tbh, it s fine unless you fall on a division of HE spammers or a unicum CV player who takes a shinning on you cuz u have thin (or no) AA and spends the first five mins of the game making run after run (x5), then yr cucked for sure :) I've seen people killed before firing a shot that can't be enjoyable or rewarding but you make a good case there and you are prob right.

While this is a good analysis and very informative for a newer player, I fail to see why u quoted me. It is better equipped to handle +2 but I was referring very clearly to HIS suggestion (about the idiotic - fake mm), that was NOT to HAVE it at all. Btw i dont mind uptiering with gneis too, it's my unicum ship but that dont mean anything for some other player who cant play it. This is a post about the general (average) player base and I stand by my original argument, it is born out of my experience and has no bias. I personally never owned a premium ship (except the PEF which I won) or paid any interest in the winrate or used free exp to grind the lines. I tried most ships win or lose to see which I like and settle and it took me well over 2k games. He is wrong to jump so soon to a higher tier but I respect all players and won't judge him since the game gives this opportunity. He has a right to enjoy himself after all as much as you and me. But the ridiculous mm problem is real issue and it must be fixed imo, cuz it can ruin many a players games. I personally think WG will address it due to the huge amount of complaints at some point and surely after it sort out the CV rework prob. Which imo is more serious.

Despite everything said, he has a point and offers a fair solution to a problem many face few admit. T8 ships cannot match t10 MOST of the times. Being skilled and uber experienced as some suggest is nice and can perform a miracle in a match or two (or three) but MOST times a t10 ship (with some exceptions) will kick your butt whatever level you think you are. But the prob with waiting time is understandable as much as fake. I believe strongly the reason it stays as is, is to satisfy all those great players (with statlines dating back to the stone ages, made in a different game and with only a couple of lines of ships and no CVS + a ton of premiums that are not even for sale now) who want to add up some easy kills and if this is not the case just name the norm how often this vaunted T8 ship get killed in a t10 game by its counterpart and how regular it gets focused and die in a couple of mins BY THE OTHER T10 ships. As usual I respect older players as they are just like us regular people, which means they lie, they cheat and they want to stay on top as long as they can and prefer the game as is. See its not fun having to duke it out against same level players wit same level ships. It kinda exposes your true skill level - the one not mentioned by yr WR

hmm, so im popping my plane for no reason?

server down!

above a certain tier the toxicity and randomness is deleterious. I stopped playing to calm down a bit as trying to carry a potato team against high tiered gurus is not very fun or easy, plus most of the times due to the save star mechanism there always a couple of players not really helping the team win but looking not to lose which means rest of team eats pork and gets cucked. If you get lucky in mm then you can have a good string of results and get some nice rewards but you need a good stronk stomach for it cuz you're gonna get rained with all manner of epithets whether you play well or not. As for the winrate it matters not at all in my opinion, eventually if you play a ton of games you will make it just dont die trying :)

playing t9 games with anything but some select ships (dds and bbs are also in there but only a few of them) is pure undulated cancer. T8 was cancer x2 and is gotten even worst for all ships but one or two cruizers. Always uptiered, no fun, no nothing. T7 is better but completely unbalanced since every 19point captain or the high and mighty gurus* of the past wit their myriad tricks 'n mods + ready excuses or scolding for the masses (*when it was also easy to set records and WR with 1-2 lines of ships and in a different game) are there to make an appearance against the unsuspecting hard-grinding honest silver rookies. Slaughter. T6 and below is not really worth mentioning (it is kinda fun. KINDA.) since IF you go below t8 anyway you are disqualified for the most important missions (again this is important for newer-ish players, the oldies* see no prob since well, they have everything got when they were ten ships in game two years back or more). How it possible to make a conversation with such discrepancy in the player base idk. Try to grind a t10 ship now (with no premium help and standard) and then come talk to me. Is it a mess? Not in my opinion, is it good then? Far from it. I see more changes coming frankly and im not sure we will like them. Myself I decided to stop getting frustrated and downvoted and just do whatever i like or feel. Its not worth investing serious time in the game rn.

havent got anything from containers :/

It is more difficult to grind a ship now than it was, it is a new game almost , especially after the rework. I never disrespect older players and im not taking sides in this, its just my opinion as im currently grinding up the tiers.

I use my bb and did very well until ten rank overcoming bad teamplay then the team surrounding u becomes the most important thing. A good team can overcome absence of buffs although getting one or two dont hurt. There's no guarantee though, I had a dozens of bad mm after the initial good run and i dont see reaching first spot anytime soon. Its tiresome winning to lose two or three in a row and all your progress along with it. You just dont know what will happen and a bad early play usually dooms the whole team.

keep grinding for a next tier ship, research what you have and form a division, low tier is a pain to expect teamplay, hell it dont exist even on upper tiers anymore. I have had terrible losing streaks but slowly i managed to carry some games and feel better but consistency is absent. You never know what to expect but you can sort of figure out what teamates you have at start of game. Where they go, how they behave. If its hopeless go to next game if its promising keep at it. Adjust accordinly and help with the objectives or power through to a win, i found out that the longer i stayed alive helped me win most of the times. DDs will become even more difficult when you uptier though keep it mind

Im at izumo rn. Now thats a difficult ship to like. You cant do what you want with it, you either play it like it wants or you die and her playstyle is wierd but effective to a point, albeit a little embarrassing as she likes to show her behind too much :O I was also at Bismark and tossed the coin between FDG and Izumo. Went for Izumo since Yamato while not what it was still holds a certain appeal to me. I believe having encountered tons of FDG in games that it is a decent ship. If i found some good qualities in Izumo then my favorite bb line surely has merits and it is a ship i fear and respect. I want to try it cuz i know that i will like it, all german bbs grew on me after a while and i learn how to play them, perhaps im biased as nothing beats the gneis imo (a ship i still have and refuse to sell) as for me its the best experience you can have in my playstyle :)

I found the change shocking at first. I mostly play dds and bbs but still havent reached t9 mostly cuz i explored the lines and ships. Then i kinda found a rhythm and managed to have a bit of fun but the last day was brutal again. What happened is the CV players started to figure out how to break the simple solutions the players used and the games are just not enjoyable. I sold my dds and kept only some bbs which though are not performing at all, maybe one game in 8 or ten. What i mean is, if you are focused by a couple of cvs your game is over, very fast. A min ? maybe two. Dodge, dodge, hit. Heal, dodge, hit - perma fire, perma flood. ded... There's nothing you can do really, its not skill only i find since most players have problems. You just dont have the tools and the AA thing is not working on a good player as he switches side faster than you can reposition and try do that when you are in the mid of battle with a yamato sniper. Maybe if uptiered was less like one level, or this patch they are making, cuz i cant believe their intention was to alienate the players.

I find that most ships when uptiered perform worst now. Perhaps make it only one level up? My best ships are t8s and are getting murdered to the point i can barely play sometimes unless im lucky or do something miraculous :/

well yes, but i meant she's very fragile, sometimes it feels even more than other cruisers at her level

well yes, but i meant she's very fragile, sometimes it feels even more than other cruisers at her level

I'll admit i got frustrated at start, but slowly i started adapting to the onslaught. What saddens me is that i cant play my dds like i want to. Its like im a noob all over again haha :D
