@Leo_Apollo11

 

Hello my friend...nice seeing you in a game...Till next time....

[Ubertron_X]

Met @Aerroon in his Yugumo during a Grand Battle in my Hannover, we even were in the same team, however the luck of battle was not meant to be on our side and we clearly lost that one.

[Northern_Nightowl]

I met @Twisteddk in a Grand Battle.

After this shot, we went on to lose additionally only the 2 super BB and make a win by points.

Met @Bear__Necessities in his Moskva, while i was cleaning the skies, as always, to kill some Hallands to prove that on ITA forum Halland's haven't got OP AA.

+1 mate, i focused you in the end for: damage, helping the team, and a skilled player, at the start would have certainly followed for AA Marceau. so, i thought i could strike you two for 18k damage with rockets.

Spoiler

Well done :D

My only fun game in 6 was the 1st without CV's. I got focused in all 5 others relentlessly by the CV's. Spawned in the middle every game. I tried to plus 1 you but had none left as I was super generous in my 1st game to my team. But I also am not petty enough to minus 1 you :P

I'm about to go sleep as I'm on my last night shift tonight. I'll be playing EU a bit more in the next few weeks so add me to contacts and if you see me online, course I'll div.

On the same team as @Chaos_Umbra in a couple of battles, me in Amagi and Musashi while he played smaller boats. Quite unorthodox matches in both cases regarding my style, though: a push through the islands in Neighbours with the former, contesting B cap in Okinawa for the latter. OTOH, @__Helmut_Kohl__'s Enterprise unexpectedly getting the short end of the stick team-wise in a double CV battle (we even had a bit of a discussion about such occurrences in open chat at the start), although it wasn't apparent until the second half of the battle. As for me, Lyon's ability to throw a lot of smelly ordnance came in handy whenever a spotter became the spotted.

 

Salute.

 

P.S.: I guess it's now some kind of habit mentioning people down here, in this case @Itwastuesday and @Leo_Apollo11 in Grand Battles, first with the former then against the latter.

 

P.P.S.: Wow, double post scriptum. A couple more forumites to mention: with @RAHJAILARI's Tone and against @The_Chiv's Elbing in the same battle. They probably fought each other since they spawned face to face while my Shimakaze was at the other side of the map.

We did I got 3 cits on him and he put all his HE in me. Was a rough battle.

I found @The_Chiv in the worst match I have seen all week. 

The Chiv was the only one that dared come close to a cap, or maybe 1 player more.

The whole team ran to J1, I decided not to give a flying skybuck, farm a bit & die quickly.

Hope to meet you another time, on a team with some balls.

Think I had like 150k damage that game too.

Yeah you were the only one going for it, but after a while you had to run. 

The others never went, they ran at the start. And then they went telling "CV do this Cv do that". 

I had already torped that French DD in the cap, bombed the Smolly... so I gave up. 

 

Getting more and more of those games where there are a bunch of "players" that tell everybody what to do,

and then they even start name-calling when it is not done as expected. Obviously those "generals" aren't gonna do the risky stuff themselves. 

Sometimes I think of just shutting down the chat completely. And I am sorry it is no longer possible to just drop some "friendly" torps on those.

I would not blame you. To be fair most games are won or lost based on how the cv and dds react and engage DDs. When a dd is spotted they tend to be unable to do their job and or just run away. This allows the rest of the team to push up and take objective and focus on cruisers. However what we saw was a bunch of children lobbing at BBS because it is an easy target to hit and no ond focusing on the dds. This is a massive problem with this game and sadly one that will not change unless WG makes a few changes to the system that will piss off every DD player.

[tocqueville8]

Saw @HMS_Kilinowski, @BLUB__BLUB, @MacArthur92 on Trident.

 

@BLUB__BLUB's Ise detonated ("I thought CV can't detonate", hilarity ensues...), and somehow my Oklahoma came 1st on the team. The losing team, naturally.

[BLUB__BLUB]

Just had half the forum... on the enemy team mostly unfortunately, we got @tocqueville8 on ours but they got 2x THESO and THROW and -WHO-.

Toqueville did damn good but well, we could not carry harder than that lot (and they saw me at the start dammit).

Also I managed to get a detonation, LMAO. 

 

Nevertheless it was a fun match, at least they did put up a good fight (you bunch of filthy sealclubbers). 
So, @StatsBloke and @HMS_Kilinowski and @MacArthur92 and @Grand_Admiral_Leigh well played and torp ya next time!

I was a bit disappointed. Isn't it common courtesy to stay on the flank of the forumites and at least give them the chance to benefit from your hp-pool? Instead you detonated in the 7-line well out of range of our guns. After that continous being kekked on by your div's planes, we felt entitled.

I gotta say tho, it was a very nice battle. It's always nice, when you run into forumites or people you know. But when it's that many people, it feels like going from anonymous online PvP back to the good ole times of LAN-parties. Cheers.

Well I did kinda want to but you guys cleaned up there pretty quick. 

My divvie Ramses did give you some slam-dunk though.

Yeah that was unfortunate, I was about to delete that Fuso and take over that flank, then get back at you.

But alas. RNGesus hates my sheep, maybe next time I send him some virgin ones.

Yes it is much more fun when you sort-of-know the guys that are in the game. 

Hope to meet you again soon (and I hope I have a full div then, we'll get ya LOL). 

[Itwastuesday]

@The_Chiv yo

 

 

Why you ruin my späh stats?

[BLUB__BLUB]

@Nibenay78 well how we managed to win that is beyond me, I had to do a cruisers task.... 

After I killed you they finally went for the caps... at C-cap three of our ships lost TOTALLY to two of yours... 

OMG rarely seen such a bunch of turds, really. That CV-player of ours saved the day I think. 

 

Sorry I had to kill ya mate - they'd just have left you there, where you could just torp away, and pick them off at your leasure. 

Which is usual - they KNOW there is a DD there which will kill them all, but nobody goes and does anything about it. 

And then they all go run and hide.... Except me, that is.

What did I say? AA does nothing :-o

Does, but:

- it is automated so there is no satisfaction;

- ...and it does not do quite enough. 

 

The main problem is that any plane shot down is "auto-refilled". You never get a nice satisfying "gap" that has been created by YOUR actions. 

It is like, hey dude, your automated RNG crapperoni has deleted half the background attackers, but sorry, you still receive a full salvo. 

Now, that is as satisfying as shooting your adversary five times in the arse, and still receiving his spear in your wiener.

I can live with that, because the old AA was also the same, yet more satisfying.

In one of the top AA ships and DefAA, you COULD at least hope that this AA actually deterred the CV from flying over you constantly for 2 minutes... since it' obviously can't stop strikes anyways.

In the old one we could point-and-click a squadron, remember?

And then it would create/leave an opening in the plane squad,

often enough that the missing torp would allow you to make an escape.

That's the main problem, first strike always gets through 100%. 

And yes some CVs (FDR...) can just keep hanging around. 

The thing is, they also MUST do that, 30 secs loiter-time and slow AF, too. 

Geez WeeGee, best idea ever (not...).

@Bindolaf_Werebane - A pleasure to play with you my friend ... very good game you did there
