Indeed, we did. Hope you had a fun game in Conkek. I sure as hell found it interesting. Didn't expect to survive.

 

Thanks. The Conq seems very situational. Sometimes it feels OP, sometimes it feels like it has no armor even when angled bow on like against the Yamato. Still not sure which set of guns is the smarter choice, nor which modules and skills would be optimal.

Am at Lion. Ship already feels kinda dumb. Also, more than no armour vs Yamato, the fun part is having no armour vs HE. In the end, you died because I just blindspammed you from my smoke.

Your Neptune reduced me to 3k hp and one torp launcher right at the start. Basically all I could do for the rest of the match is bully ships around that cap with super fast reload and my smokes. But hey, who needs hp if you can have 2s reload on those 10 cm guns.

He had the bad luck of being in a König...  my favourite CV food

 

Good to see you m8 - despite your obvious liking for my poor ship! The Omaha that I spawned beside high-tailed it out of there but I still pushed on regardless - dumb idea to push solo in a bottom tier ship in a dual-cv game, and I paid for it :). See you around!

Ah well, the "problem" mostly was you were the most attractive victim.

The other one was the KM BB one tier higher... which croaked it even before you did.

I guess the other CV got him 

 

You did not venture out "alone" though, that Gnevny was near you and prevented me from attacking more.

I dunno what it was with him, maybe he specced "full AA" because for a DD that was awesome, he had better AA than you.

It IS situational, and it DOES have less armour than others - a even though Yammy pens ALL ships equally hard.

If you can 'create' (or find) the situation then Conqkek can be really devastating.

Well, yes, sort of. I came to the conclusion the stock set of guns are the superior ones, as the Wiki article in fact suggested.... It also said something about the AA being good, especially if fully built for AA but... I'm not sure if it will be strong enough against tier X CV's even then (tier 8 seems to be much much weaker) and a full AA build would detract from fire protection and main gun performance.

There is NOTHING that really stops a TX CV, except maybe a Mino division or something like that. 

If he wants you dead, well, then you are dead. So my thought is: do not worry about it too much. 

ONE (two?) carrier per game, an he has 10 other ships besides you, some will be far more attractive targets.

 

What DOES stop a CV is a full salvo of AP from Conqkek... often you get the occasion...  

 

I did not go full-range on it, but did more of a "Tank build" to make the max use of the zombie heal. 

And of course concealment, the way I play it it is needed (I use it like supercruiser, follow the DDs into cap and such). 

The main thing to watch out for is HE-cruisers, their (IF)HE will spam you to death. 

The CV, yes he'll kill you if he wants, but usually you are not on his favourite dish list.

Sometimes I'll de-activate the AA, and only put the sector on - wait until he starts the actual attack.

It will be the last attack he puts on you that game, as he is in for a nasty surprise.

Just meat @Tuccy and @Beastofwar in CVs when I've played Izmail which like all Ru Bbs that I tried to play so far (T5 and T6) seem a bit OP, the closer you are the more but can be punished hard for mistakes. I like them so far a lot.

[Aotearas]

Met @Yedwy and @Yaskaraxx on the enemy team as I was desperately trying to get a win in my Des Moines in spite of the teams I've gotten today (AFKers, DDs allergic to caps and lemmingtrains galore like you wouldn't believe). This time the team managed to get a large enough lead that even though they certainly tried to throw the game at the end, it was still a win for us and FINALLY my win in the Des Moines after half a dozen attempts.

 

Left both of you a +1. Poseidon knows I hardly had opportunity to use my daily compliments today 

[little_rowboat]

Just met @Beastofwar in his GZ and we managed to take #1 and #2 in a 4 CV game.

Not just because we've been lucky, we won.  GG wp, m8, +1.

What i did was general CV stuff......not very special.

 

What you did in a DD was deeply impressive......winning, 1st pos, surviving in a 4 CV game and  2800+ victory points with quite a score gap to other team mates incl me.

 

Never mind the +1, but thank you anyway....it will be gone the next time i use a CV in PvP

[Miscommunication]

Saw @I_m_just_lucky today in his Loyang (typically bottom tier) while in my GK. A pretty decent (if short) game where the majority of his team seemed to just sit down and die (or lemming half way around the map before coming to help their team far too late). I think he finished either #1 or #2 on his team which in a bottom tier DD is pretty impressive.

 

Hope to see you again in battle soon!

Thx mate, we got rolled over by your team. Well handled BB on your behalf - brawling, dealing and surviving. WP m8.

Next time in green hopefully

Met @xxNihilanxx in his Iowa earlier on the other side.

Sadly he got hounded to death by half my team (well, at least i fed him some planes )

It was good to meet you in battle but was a terrible match for me. I really don't do well on that map and so, as usual, was caught out of position. It didn't help that I was the only player, apart from my div mate in the DD, who didn't join the "blob of doom" making me the only viable target for your planes. Plus, as you say, I was in my Iowa which seems to be a bit of a cursed ship for me.

[little_rowboat]

Just met @Flambass, @Trenlass and @RogueMonkey99 in a match at Trap map sitting in my Loyang.

Game expectedly was short and after less than 8 minutes we ended up being top 4 places.

 

Relatively to the match duration, the share was decent, overall way below average - I hope I don't meet you guys too often in green, insta wins are no fun if they happen too often.

 

[beercrazy]

had a game with@Blixiesand @Saltface and though the game was far from good it was fun it was still good to see fellow forum captains doing as bad as me

anyway will toon up with you again if your willing to take some more epic games like the one we had

Got into a tactically unsound situation just now in my Dunk... (enemies on 3 sides, most of them BB's) when I was kindly put out of my misery by @Mr_Tayto

Didn't notice you had messaged until the end, o7 commander!

 

Had a game tonight with @El2aZeR and @tsounts - thankfully they were on my team!

[Hopeless_Guppy]

I did meet renamed user in battle who kindly advised on my torp drops, dropping them too late is still one of my bugbears, lol.

I have met the famous SkybuckFlying in battle today, he sends his regards.
