[TOXIC] Strapps [TOXIC] Players 1,135 posts 5,968 battles Report post #6851 Posted January 26, 2019 On the same team as @Estaca_de_Bares, he in a Fiji and being graceful enough to carry my sorry butt (with the rest of the team) as I continue to learn how to play the Donskoi. Decent enough battle but it all went a bit quiet when the enemy stopped trying to pressure caps (some sterling defence over both A and C caps) and the weather came in to prevent us seeing each other. I ended with 99,940 damage and a kill, more by luck than intent. Estaca played a much better battle and sank a couple of them. Well met! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shame that my team didn't bother too much after some early success but at least we traded a few blows before I sank. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually find it a fairly hard ship to use as it functions like a T10 Atlanta but I'm no USN Cruiser expert. I usually get face rolled in the DM 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Despite our best effords... this team could not be carried. Our DM & Salem didnt knew they have radar, didnt knew they shouldnt give broadside, didnt know to shoot at DDs... which brings us to our 2 Kageros who: didnt knew that Hindenburg has hydro, didnt knew that smoking up and sitting in it will take the sight from your team and didnt knew about objectives. At one point, I had the enemy Yueyang and Benson open-water gunboating me, since I was the only one on our flank, that tried to get rid of the DDs. I saw, that your flank collapsed also. Looking at the performance of our team, I think it was a surprisingly close game. Well, anyway, nice to meet you ingame, till the next time!

I knew my lot weren't going to press matters when I lit the Kagero keeping us perma-spotted twice with radar and my "support" used both as an opportunity to say hello to the nice DD instead of firing at it.

I ended with 99,940 damage and a kill, more by luck than intent. Estaca played a much better battle and sank a couple of them. Well met! True, a decent battle, although a big part of my good results (only 78k damage but 2 kills and tied in base XP at the top) were due to scoring 7 citadels and sinking their Neptune. It also helped the fact that half of the red team went to the "wrong" cap and got stalled there. That's something I don't quite get: in many maps with diagonally placed caps each spawn has a "natural" capture point to go for, and then the one in the middle, yet people insist in heading en masse to the "unnatural" one more often than not. I'm starting to suspect it's because of some kind of "there's more cover there, thus it's safer" syndrome. Salute. P.S.: I forgot to mention, shortly before that battle my Friedrich der Große ended up in the same team with @lameoll's Tirpitz and his division mates. Once again, most of the reds stuck themselves in a cap they couldn't leave. I scored almost 300 hits from secondaries, but considering I lost very little HP I wonder how many more could have been achieved if Adrenaline Rush had kicked in full. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And then u had someone wondering why their team lost that fast in the end of game chat. It had nothing to do with the fact they had a tripple musashi division all going 1 side adventuring in our spawn full broadside tho. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anonym_2hneAFaIyP4T Players 606 posts Report post #6858 Posted January 29, 2019 Had some cheery banter with @Rowboat_Cop on Land of fire just now. He and his div mate joined the lemming train to C so I played gate-keeper at B with an Alsace. I shamelessly let him (The Alsace) brawl a Udaloi, Ibuki and a Montana whilst I farmed the Montana's broadside from safety 11km away and shaved a few over-pens worth of damage off the Udaloi. Lots of banter in chat when the lemmingtrain steamed up meant I emerged from my Island without giving myself time to react to a Yugumo volley from 2.8k away... I ate 4 torps and died to a Yamma shortly after! Credit income was low, but hey, potato's still get rewarded! (well played by that Z too!) Good to see you... and no, I won't take back that +1 .

Typical though: I go out fully tooled up for AA, and the CVs ignore me - deeply offended...! You're forgiven I don't really go out in full AA builds. No difference to me being attacked now or in the past. In fact unless its someone at El2aZeR's level i doubt any CV can one-shot or harrass me that much. In fact it took a shokaku 4 flight strikes to finally sink me in one game 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't used to; I'm just doing some experimenting - partly triggered by the 'shoot down planes' bits of the current directives. The captain build is pretty much what I had before - typical gunboat DD; I've added the AA module(s) to some of my T7+ US DDs - it gimps the guns and torps slightly, but not hideously so. I've been trying the (pre-rework) Atlanta trick of leaving AA off until the planes touch my air-surface detection range circle, and then unload Def AA. Can't tell yet how effective it is; I'm killing planes, but I'm not sure if the cost in guns/torps effectiveness is worth it yet... Yay for free repecs/demounts! I haven't faced (as far as I can tell) a scary-level CV driver yet, but it does look like a tweaked US/Russian DD can be useful with the new CVs (at least compared to my previous - poor - performance). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My best result so far is with my DM. I only have AFT on the captain and shot down 25 planes, well with defensive AA. Doesnt seem that bad so far. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He died halfway through and it was close at the end with not many ships left. We threw it, but a good game. Your Midway player really pulled it out the bag with 4 kills.

[FIFO] ilhilh [FIFO] Beta Tester 2,451 posts 7,514 battles Report post #6872 Posted February 4, 2019 I met @Takeda92 on my team in his Jean Bart. I didn't notice him until near the end when he turned a potentially close game into a win for us by dealing with the Mushashi. I think I lured him out from his hole as he was happy to try and sit behind the island and steal B from us but I lobbed some shells over the island and convinced him (by using fire) that it wouldn't work. After an initial push to B where I mauled 2 DDs I was actually kind of working with Takeda most of the game (well on the same flank) and our flank secured A and B and wiped out the opposition, but when I looked up I realised that the other flank had essentially fallen and although we had 2/3 of caps it was by no means a certainty since they had a full health Mushashi. Takeda punished him hard with citas although he ended up dying himself but I wasn't so worried then. I snuck top from him spot with 40k dmg on DDs and I got a cap assist early but we had quite a few decent scores. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[NECRO] Deckeru_Maiku Beta Tester 6,636 posts 24,864 battles Report post #6873 Posted February 6, 2019 Had @Flambass in a british CV (Audacious I think?) my team today with a division of his clanmates. The enemy team got quite salty right when the battle started, but for no real reason, as @Flambass only managed to get the #2 slot of the winning team (ours ^^) right behind a terrible kill-stealing Des Moines... Your's truly (= me) ended at the #3 spot in my Jean Brat... with some nicely done 165k damage and two sinkers done... would have been more if not for two getting stolen by the DM... ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
