[TOXIC] Strapps [TOXIC] Players 1,135 posts 5,968 battles Report post #3477 Posted April 23, 2017 On the same team as Drunken_Jedi, first forumite I've recognised in battle. He was playing a decent game in his Sims, me not so much in the Dunkerque, stuck my nose out too far looking for a shot and rightfully had it taken off by a waiting Gneisenau. I should have thought that one through a bit more given that I'd just watched their team proceeding past the gap I went into. Jedi went down not long after as the rest of the team began to look like they were all waiting for someone else to go first. What should have been a fairly straightforward win on points became slightly more gripping as their team rallied but ours held out for the win, helped somewhat by their Kongo who didn't seem to realise what it meant to see an IJN DD get spotted and then turn hard away from him ... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drunken_Jedi Players 849 posts 2,954 battles Report post #3478 Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) o7 Strappster. Yeah that game, holy crap... what a roller coaster. There are monkeys... and then there's that team. So many opportunities that got wasted and very nearly lost the game entirely. I even laid down smoke for all our BB's to hide in and they just sailed right by it. Regretting doing it very quickly beause "I done fucked up" and got spotted in the open not realising how close the Scharnhorst was. Could really have done with that smoke, didn't help a sneaky island popped out of nowhere and made me beach . The most facepalm inducing moment was when a full HP Nagato CHARGED a Gneisenau on low HP. He let the Gnei ram him in a trade which just beggers belief (the Gnei was only on 2k HP), just made me think... WWWHHHHHYYYYYY! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! Yeah... *facepalm* Edited April 23, 2017 by Drunken_Jedi 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CleverViking Players 503 posts 1,982 battles Report post #3482 Posted April 25, 2017 Met IceyJones in his Scharnhorst, me in Fiji. Went as expected with a win to Icey. The match ended up getting kinda close because Icey's team tried their best to throw it but he managed to carry them to victory with 4 kills. The end was a bit akward since our DDs had managed to get themselves killed and me and a NC had to push Icey and an Anshan since they sat on two caps. I ofc got spotted and Icey could just sit in his smoke and wreck me. To my credit, I nearly managed to bag the Anshan when he went for the kill-secure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[H_FAN] Gnirf Players 3,293 posts 67,362 battles Report post #3485 Posted April 25, 2017 Met CleverViking just now on NorthernLights Map in his Fletcher in my team. Me playing as a Hipper had some difficults with the chordless keyboard/mouse at the start but it went rather OK, I tried to help him with C (we spawned on upper side) made a few hits at a DD which later sank thanks to him I think, we capped C I extended a little too far and had to reverse against an enemy Izumo. Fortunately he saved me with his smoke while I reversed inte safety while the Izumo travel furher to D. As usual this was a mistake by enemy. I thanked him in chat with thx, I had hoped to give him karma afterwards but the names was not possible to click and give compliments to (happens sometimes), I thank him now instead if he did not see the chat thx. After that I managed to hit a approaching Kagero quite hard which then retreated, then we separated, me trying to attack B with hydro on , killing an enemy Roon which ended the game. Our team were a solid one with 9 to 3 ships remaining despite AFK CV so quite happy, managed by luck to be 2nd in team rooster , and CleverViking was third 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the beginning of the game i got almost 30k salvo on Negativv from 23 km ^^ Oh dear... That was an utterly awful game on my side of things. We had a Shima that basically avoided all the caps at the start and went straight for your team, when quizzed about it the dribbling moron said "I'm spotting" then "I'm a torp boat what do you expect me to do?!" Caps became 3 vs 1 and the rest was history. Waxx you should have seen the pov from my side when all 6 of my front guns failed to land anywhere near you Atleast I got the Moskva behind you but that's about the only good thing that game. The Shima potato had the cheek to message me after the game and stats compare even though they were blocked. Games like that make this game feel utterly pointless and a waste of time and money. I don't play as much as I used to anyway and nowadays I try only to use "stronger" ships. Edited April 25, 2017 by Negativvv 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[2DQT] RUSSIANBlAS Players 8,241 posts Report post #3489 Posted April 25, 2017 why so negativv man ! lol... Triple cap games in the first 5 mins where your DD make no attempt to even contest caps (they purposely sail around it) and have no idea anything is wrong when the map is entirely red? I used to enjoy playing this game as BB but it's gone way too far now, it's DD and certain cruisers (or CV) or you have no influence into how a lot of games go.

[2DQT] RUSSIANBlAS Players 8,241 posts Report post #3491 Posted April 25, 2017 It's getting the the point where you HAVE to play a capping DD or something that can support them at caps. Or you play in a competent 3 man Division or Random Battles are simply unplayable. Things like long range cruisers and BB are almost pointless if your DDs allow all caps to go un-contested I'm starting to dabble in WoT, atleast games in Tanks literally end within minutes... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Things like long range cruisers and BB are almost pointless if your DDs allow all caps to go un-contested I'm starting to dabble in WoT, atleast games in Tanks literally end within minutes... Have to agree there. Guess the BB mafia is finding out what exactly was meant by "careful what you wish for" atm. Ironic, isn't it? DDs have been nerfed to the point where teams have to push. Thing is, pushing up in a cruiser is still suicidal, if you don't have BBs pushing with you in most scenarios. You need the advancing BBs to give the enemy ones something else to shoot at or you're usually doomed. Especially since you can't rely on DDs in random to smoke up the cruiser pushing with them, just another unwanted side-effect of the continuous nerfing. Donskoi sees really strange games these days, at least for me. I still am naive enough to try to be the cruiser I'd like to see behind me if I was in the DD, so I always try to get one, better two caps in radar range. Costs about half my HP on average, so from that point on I am forced to stay at range, often enough even to fall into concealment for minutes to get some workable HP up again. Which, sadly more often enough, gives my team all the opportunity in the world to squander any hard worked for cap advantage while setting up the customary cluster-fornication behind some island at the edges. I dunno, maybe they try to procreate and make new ships faster than the enemy can shoot them down behind their mountain fortress. Only explanation I can come up with really. Obviously enough I need to adapt my strategy and just discard playing the objectives, BBQ here I come. Doubt it will make much difference for the win%, but my average damage will profit from keeping the guns hot for the entire match. It's a mess. Playing solo feels so much more frustrating than it used to. Either that or I just forget how awful this game can be during my hiatus. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Egoleter ∞ Players 4,046 posts Report post #3500 Posted April 26, 2017 Met Egoleter. Wasn't exactly my most glorious battle. Running on ground by accident (which did save me from torps I'd have eaten otherwise), only getting minimum damage hits for most of my shots, spending to much time in a postion where I can't contribute, and finally going with my already damaged Amagi into a close range duell with a Yamato (which I survived and the Yama didn't thanks to you and your division mates). Well... at least it wasn't one of my bad battles either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
