Not a Forumite but I had 'FranklyDontGearaDamn' on my team. Ofc, it was another BS loss. I'm not that good but at least I got First Blood. Frankly has a 58.9% WR but somehow he finished last on our team. Like I said, BS.

I believe most of us know exactly what 'kind' by now.

No wonder my close in torps miss but theirs don't .

Here's my token comment

The NA Sub poll just affirms that most Forumites don't want Subs in WoWS. It appears comprehensive but is it really? I see it as a retelling of what the vocal forum community majority thinks. Remember, the Forum vocal minority is a small number compared to all the players who just 'play'. Whether you agree with me or not, Subs are part of 20th century naval warfare. Whether WG once said Subs would never appear in WoWS, they now have. Since CVs got 'worked over' (to put it politely) with their rework, what is another 'work' from WG? Personally, I'm not entirely sure I like how Subs are in WoWS, at present. However, I'm going to really enjoy taking out BBabies &, ofc, the horrid reworked CVs every chance I can get. < me, in my Sub

I picked out 5 of the 9 on Ronchable's list as bad. I'm sure, literally, everyone can pick a majority of the legitimate choices given as 'bad'. 2021 isn't even over yet. WG could manage to wreak even more.

To me, that would be a very good player - my definition of a minimally decent player would be like I said 46 - 48 % solo WR.

The players who have around 47 - 50% WRs as far as that statistic means anything - the middle players - not good or great but neither are they poor or abysmal

Your requirement for Silver & Gold Rank play is too exclusionary & it still leaves all the bottom feeders with the half decent players exclusively for bronze. This is unfair for the 47 - 50% half decent players. It's questionable what to do with the 45 - 46 %ers. Of course, the 44% & below types (especially the certifiable below 40 % window lickers) must be excluded completely from Ranked play.

In other words, a Clan battle (with or without mercenaries). In other words, Pete, you've contradicted yourself, again, by saying co-ordinated multi-player action is impossible.

I got to rank 3 in bronze then saw several garbage losses in a row to go backwards back to rank 5 then the session reset me to rank 10. Bull Excrement. I told WF that if I wasn't given rank 3 back immediately, I'm not playing ranked again. No way am I being frustrated with utter garbage teams at WF whim until they deign to allow me to get to rank 1. Ranked play requires the previous rules where you stay at the level attained & do not have these horrid going backwards results.

ROFL

It may be boring to sail in formation and just slug it out but it is possible to sail in formation and just slug it out. So, again, you make a contradictory assertion . They do this in co-op & randoms, as well. Incorrect, again, the commanding Admiral of the Fleet, gave the orders to the other Captains as to what they would do. This is 'ONE person' last time I checked.

Today, I fought a 1 v1 in close & it appeared I lost. The enemy sank me & my hull was turning over - there was quite a delay - then, voila - I got a 'just a flesh wound' yet there was no apparent (a blazing fire) reason for it. Was this a 'bug'? I don't know but it sure was a delayed kill after I was sunk.

Post #9 probably explains what I saw. There were what looked like 5 squadrons in the air at the same time (2 ea of two types of attack = 4 + a fighter flying defence = 5 total). It was 'weird' to see this.

It's weird. With RTS CVs one could see plenty of squadrons in the air at the same time. The CV rework implied one would only see 2 squadrons, at most, one returning & one launching (not including a defensive fighter buzzing around). However, I've seen 2 squadrons of the one type returning/launching & 2 squadrons of another type type launching/returning - that's 4 squadrons in the air at the same time & not including the def fighter consumable. So, my fellow Swabbies, 'What's giving here?' Methinks, WoWS is not playing even by their own rules .

I'd say, if you don't like airplanes in WoWS, do everything you can to sink any ship that has these 'offensive' mosquitos. Problem solved & won't whoever was responsible for the 'CV rewreak' just hate this tactic .

Ahhh, Crash Zone Alpha, TY for the info, lovelacebeer (btw what is your beer laced with? ). So, a new map projected in 2022 (& maybe a projected player contribution map in 2023).

Same sentiment here from me. If you don't move on Ocean, you can't possibly win. So I find these arguments that one must 'camp' on Ocean simply hilarious.

Can you tell us which new map that was or was it a revamp of an existing map? OP did ask when was the last 'new' map introduced.

Closing in .... 10 ... 9 ... 8 ..........

SaltyLord has let the out of the bag. They might even hire him for such a good potential new pile idea.

Why in the world wouldn't you play with a fully upgraded ship? It's not like it costs much to fully equip these low tier ships. If the Gelderland gets randomed (for me to play from my port) I will play it some, eventually. An Emden can be lots of fun if you know how to play it (I guess you don't & I'm not going to tell you). So, you think it's slightly better than an Emden? For me, that is good to know.

NO! Don't give them any ideas like that.

OK, Kompressor, you camp in open water, such as on Ocean, & let the enemy use you for static target practice. Ships full of holes are like sieves, they sink real good.
