Dude, lay off ranked, you don't understand game mechanics yet.

why have you changed the ships setup?

You mean the tier? That changes every time, we haven't had 2 seasons in a row playing on the same tiers (this one still being partially played on tier 8 would be the 1st one for that)

like the north carolina  i trained hard to hit her so she blow by one shot, and last season i owned her, now i cant even put a dent in her, that is so frustrating

NC hasn't changed. Guess it's a case of "git gud"

and the french BB is indestructible 4 bb hammering from 4 sides with no damage to her at all.   

Richellieu and Gascogne? If one of you 4 geniuses figured out how to tap the "1" key and switch to HE they'd melt. But hey, swapping amo = too advanced tactics

i was told that broadside is no go, so i ajusted so i was face front, caouse you told us that no real damage could hit you there

That's called angling. Literally the most basic thing any BB could be doing. You  angle your armour instead of showing your broadside thus making AP fall somewhere between "useless" and "next to useless"

you told us that no real damage could hit you there, WRONG  32000 xp i a DD shot right in my nose, dosent make sence

You mean a DD did 32k to you? That actually makes perfect sense, multiple torps hit you and that's exactly what you get for it.

 

There's this little thing called "WASD hax" - helps you deal with those torps

if you change the ships setup atleast tell us about it

Again, going to assume you mean the tier. They did tell us, the news portal exists for a reason:

and why is it possible to hit the water  and still deal 12000 damage i dont get that

1) the shell that did those 12k (sounds like a citadel on you) didn't hit the water

or

2) underwater penetrations are a thing, shell doesn't stop / explode instantly on contact with water, you know

nor dio i get that torpedoes can detonate like 40m from the ship and still sink me, it like playing blitz.

That just sounds like potato internet causing desyncs

 

 

And I have to agree with @El_Pollo_Locooo, just step away with ranked, you clearly don't have a clue what's going on and what to do.

Watch some videos / streams, play some more randoms, learn the game. Then you'll maybe have a chance

A quick question i ranked out the 2nd time this season , next season i will go for the flint , will you reset the rank rewards next season so you have to start over ?

 

what i mean with that is rank season 2-9 is included for rank rewards , will rank season 10 aslo be included . if not i will stop playing this game for real

 

 

Just want some clarification on this?

Did I miss some news? When was it ever implied rank 10 would somehow not be the same as all the other ranked seasons?

No you did not , im just making sure im not being made a muppet of, it would be good if we could get clarification on this 

you know grinding hundreds of games to get the flint , only for then to tell you "Only rank season 6 - 10" will be included for rank rewards , then i don't get the flint , and all my grinding/frustration was for nothing

 

You never know what WG will do..

[malaquey]

I really wouldn't be concerned about this possibility, it would be a complete change of direction for WG and more importantly would provoke absolute uproar, for the reasons you said. If there was even an inkling of something like this reddit would be all over it too and I haven't seen anything.

 

What is happening (could be happening) is they were going to replace ranked rewards with some kind of special currency, so rather than 3 wins = a flint you instead get this currency and can get then buy the specific rewards you want. I'm completely making up numbers but it might be 100 coins or whatever per win and a flint costs 300 and maybe a black costs 300 as well so you can decide. I imagine you could also spend them on containers or something too if (for some reason) you didn't want a special ship.

if they do anything , i would still want my flint for ranking out 3 times

I would imagine (obviously I don't know) they will give out more rewards rather than less. Maybe give everyone an extra rank out as far as rewards are concerned as well as retroactively awarding the currency. We will have to wait and see but I'll be suprised if people end up getting cheated in some way. We will have to see when the changes are announced and then we can complain if necessary :P

Well guys i know what damage saturation is the problem is that the torpedoes were distributed on equal intervals from the nose to the end hitting one after the other and i have replay. However if it is dmg saturation why his torpedoes killed me with the first 2 hits we were at the same distance and the same dds

If you are asking why are you dead after taking a hit for 17600hp and he is alive after taking 20K+ damage..

that is a skill which's name I cant remember and gives 350hp per tier to the ship.. and many captains believe that it is a must for tier 10 DDs..

I can congratulate only to WG for this. 202k damage + 2 kills = lose star. Just do it... Bravo.

WG should make a small summary at the end of each battle in form of a text that says for example "You were quite the aggressive, but you tanked unnecessary damage which your team couldn't return" or "You stayed and in the back of the battle but couldn't use that to your advantage if we look at your average volley dmg" or idk what else. These examples have no connection to your game with the gk whatsoever. They are purely hypothetical. Just something which explains why you got that much exp or just that little. That would also help players to improve.

The Yamato did better than you. Maybe he shot the DD, maybe he shot the cruisers, maybe he got a lot of base defense ribbons, maybe he capped himself, maybe he tanked a lot, maybe he got a lot of spotting damage. Or maybe he just did more damage than you because he survived for longer.

 

If you did 200k only to BBs that's not worth much. Stop playing to not lose a star, better start playing to gain a star: Focus on radar cruisers and DDs.

You did well and got a large amount of xp, but no caps/defends and from your secondary hits I assume you were fighting battleships mostly which diminishes the 200k damage. The Yamato simply did better than you, shooting DDs or whatever, and so he was rewarded.

It"s history from now. ;)

Gratz for the rank 1!

 

Getting it after a 0 damage game must feel bittersweet after I assume loosing enormous damage and carry games :)

I got hard carried in my last battle in both previous ranked seasons :P

[Guillotine]

XP is awarded % dmg to target, even if you shoot BBs only and score 200k dmg, you will be beaten guy who shoots DDs and Cruisers that does less dmg overall. I have kept star in games where i did 50-60k dmg but all to DDs and few cruiser hits. 

 

XP thing might not be borked in t10 for simple reason, mistakes cost far more than lower tiers and ships are far more capable. Cruisers can actually contribute to the battle due longer range from T9 and up.

Should be...

On another day I did 179k dam with Hindenburg and other team member had 199k with Montana and as we lost I was on the first place and kept my star.

[Cirrus4000]

I found this season to be much like the rest. Quite easy to get to the mid-high ranks (5/4), the some bouncing around that level for a while before making some better progress. I managed to "luck out" today by getting 6 straight wins. A couple of those I was carried by the team after some bad choices on my part. But overall, apart from the increase in radar ships (I play DDs mainly) I found it quite entertaining..

 

 

Anyway, hoping this will mean I get the USS Black this time :)

 

Cheers
