Noob hiding in smoke.

It also works the other way - when I drive a DD I put smoke in the middle of cap, then go hide at the edge...

Very funny to see them all blindfire in smoke. If a BB gets too near, I rush him since he has fired anyway and send him some fish.

IMHO smoke is 2 valuable to waste like that

Depends. I did get the cap because of that. 

And lots of reds got shot because they broke stealth. 

(also, I only have DDs upto T5... yeahyeah potatoooooo!)

Indeed, it can...  I, much to my own amazement, torp'd an eye-popping 3 DD's (all the enemy team had) just sitting in the SAME smoke in B cap during one match  on "Land of Fire Map" last Friday with 1 torp salvo from a Mogami (well, technically it could count, as 2 salvos since I turned and fired both sides but annyhoot). Then I basically just lounged around and took a pleasure Cruise for the rest of the game, having already done my bit (well, not really but anyways). It is quite amazing how often the good ole' "Just shove a torp up their smokin' *edit"- ploy still works over and over again. Does give a nice boost to my Mogami stats tho, hehehe!

We were having an important meeting...

Where is the seal clubbing line btw? Because i have been accused of seal clubbing at T8 before. 

I've seen people say that anyone playing a CV is sealclubbing, regardless of tier.

I was watching Flambass's stream, and saw someone call him a sealclubber while he was playing a T10.

To a lot of people it seems to just mean 'I think it's unfair that you're better than me/that I'm not invincible'.

I called a divison a bunch of lucky-butt sealclubbers a week ago or so. 

But mainly because they were SCRUBS playing T8 and they got into a T6 match, did it to piss them off.

Hehe! Yeah, strange enough, some BB players still have not noticed that they actually can't shoot from smoke undetected. I wonder how long it'll take before that realization hits home (based on recent experience my money's going to betting on "Never" but we'll see).

 

I was playing in a Mahan earlier, I charged at a friendly Warspite or QE that was on about 3k health dropping smoke as I approached. I knew from the things he was saying in chat that he didn't really know much about the game so I said "don't fire in the smoke" as I passed him. 20 seconds later he died so I asked him if he had fired in the smoke. His reply was that he did it all the time at higher tiers.

 

My IRL facepalm was cut short as I spotted the enemy DD I was charging across the map to face down so I quickly typed "wait there" so I could have an intense gun battle without typing between Mahan salvos. The guy's response was "why? I'm dead" followed by exiting to port.

 

Obviously the guy was at a solid 44% WR with almost 1400 battles played. Now it was obvious he did something wrong because I pointed it out to him, he knew I wanted to speak to him but he left rather than waiting the 60 seconds it would have taken for me to kill the DD or die (I killed him, I'm a pro) so why would the guy leave? That 60 seconds would have bumped his WR by a significant amount. What was going on in his head at the time? He knew there was a question mark over his play, he knew I wanted to share information with him, he just left.

 

I am confident that if you put a WoWS CC video on for these people they would shut their eyes, cover their ears and scream lalalalala for the duration.

Are you sure, because I know it and my WR isn't the best.

Could be another 100 things he does wrong.

1% on 44% is significant.

Just a funny thing that happened to me. This battle was very easy, not that I am a very good player, their CV did not bother to spot me, their BBs kept on coming sideways, etc.

 

 

 

This stuff happens all the time in chat. What's so special about this particular instance anyway?

You got a kraken in an OP premium clubbing in the low tiers and someone mentions the "noob" word twice. It's not really a big deal anyway. But at least you had your moment of glory, congratulations for this.

there are still a lot of DD players who sail in a cap, stop and hit smooke.

That tactic works well on low tiers.

On higher tiers... not so much.

a torpedo dont care the tierlevel IMHO

My point exactly, you do not call someone like me in this case a 'noob'. A wallet warrior, maybe :) I do not get attacked in the chat, I was very surprised and found it very funny and wanted to share a moment in the forum, that's all.

Also I do not really think I am clubbing, I do not get many games like this and I usually struggle my way into victory or glorious defeats.

So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

It works always and on every tier if done correctly in the right moment.

I think you misunderstood.

 

I was wondering why you took the effort to even write about it and upload the screenshots. That premium is supposedly OP, and vs tier 5 DDs you shouldn't really have any issues dispatching those. In a way it is P2W.

But having considered this, I don't get what your point is, actually.

Because it was funny. It is a forum, so sometimes people post funny things. The P2W or OP is not part of the topic, because that guy would have probably commented the same were I on a standard boat. Isn't it?

Besides, for the price of the T-61 there should be more in the game but there aren't. And having it is not a warranty for success, wouldn't you agree?

Probably you say? But yopu don't know that.

 

Usually it's about ridiculous toxicity or some hillarious situation. Your sitiuation is simply just "meh". It's really not that interesting, frankly.

Even a kraken is not that interesting anymore. Perhaps it is if you never got one before, but I don't think this is the case with you?

It was not about the kraken. The point is he called noob something that is clearly not by using a proven and effective common tactic, etc, etc, etc.

Now, it can be a meh situation but it was quite funny for me and also I thought, if this guys or anybody else that thinks like him reads the forum, then they can learn from this. In game there is not time to chat or explain or teach.

So there you go, I do not have anything else to add to this. 

Cheers.

Ok, if you say so
