This sounds like cyber bullying for nerds to me. Flamuus was probably bullied at school for being a geek i reckon....the profile fits.

Some people just play wows for what it is..a game and do not need grief for it.

 

Im not going to give my opinion, what I think about the things, that flamuu does. Quite frankly, im not a fan of him. I was just letting him know, what might happen. It might even be more shocking if some people start to message you in game, laugh about you and what not, because flamuu just humiliated your stats on twitch. Im pretty sure there are people like that around in the stream.

 

And yea, some people will just play and dont care about anything. This is, however, a teamgame, where I cant pick with whom I have to share the next round. So, my personal opinion, in randoms everyone should perform to his best of abilities. If I want to derp around and dont care - ill play Co-Op. Its basically the same game, the same experiance, but you dont piss off other human players with your poor performance.

With the exception of the Black's, there isn't a single torpedo in the game slower than ships in its tier spread, which means it's literally impossible for anyone to run into your torpedoes unless you fired them from well behind your allies in a way that could hit them. That makes it your responsibility to make sure this doesn't happen, which involves taking a look in the general direction of where you're trying to launch your torpedoes and making sure there's no ally around that could catch them instead.

i also play a lot of random battles. so i'm at the mercy of the team. i end the game still alive a lot even if the team loses

 

Best advice i can give:

Go back to play lowtiers and grind your way to T7. Your Stats on the lowertiers dont look too bad, accept the WR, but that can still just be very bad luck because you only got like 50 games.

Your damage is decent on T3 and T4 (atleast over server average!), and your Main battery hitrate is also very good on the Cruisers and good on the BBs.

However, on Hood, its just simply bad, i wont sugarcoat it.

To illustrate it a little bit better:

- Hood has 68.000 HP, and in your 5 games you dealt an average of 12.500 damage - thats only 18,4% of your own HP dealt in damage!

- Orion has 42.700 HP (with B Hull) and in your 10 games you dealt an average damage of 44.800 - thats more damage than your own ship has HP, which isnt bad.

Maybe you understand now, when ppl tell you, that you arent doing well in your Hood.

 

I think your Hit rate is so high, because you are playing very aggressively (also you got lots of torp kills with your Cruisers, and a high secondary battery hit rate). If you die early on, it makes it harder for your team to win. So if your WR doesnt improve, i think you should play a bit more careful.

why do i get warned and penalised when my team mates run into my torpedoes?? oncei release them i can't guide them. the team mate wanders into their line and theres nothing i can do about it. no intentional fire

 

The answer is in your question already!

[OldPappy]

Torping a teammate is like rearending another car. ALWAYS your fault no matter what the circumstances. Sad but true.

I did this. It went horribly. I suggest an amendment to that rule, never buy a premium ship for a tier and class you have not already grinded to.

 

I played a game in my first T8, the Chapayev before happily running to the store to hand WG my money for a Tirpitz. It went about as well as you can expect for someone who didn't even have another T7 at the time...

 

I still don't have a tech tree T8 BB.

Hmmm true...

 

I just went on the assumption that someone would buy a Prem of the same class they've grinded!

 

OP is from WoT so should know the issues with playing higher tiers too soon. I'm barely competent at T8 yet I have grinded out a few T10s over there.

ok, so i come here for advice and end up getting flamed. i'm not a seasoned gamer or a long time wows gamer either. i'm learning and when i play the Hood i like it and feel i do ok. if it's not up to your admiral standards then i'm sorry

You're not the first to do this. You keep having fun in the game and play whatever you want. Don't get too worried about people reacting or flaming. If you don't perform well enough in high tiers you kind of have to expect it, like it or not. It's a team game in the end and players depend on their teammates' performance. Just a game, but some players are more competitive than others and get frustrated more easily... I know I lose my temper at times

Your team mate is often too focused on the enemy to be able to give you and your actions his full attention. If there is a chance of hitting a friendly ship hold your fire. Mistakes do happen, especially if your torps are slow and long ranged, but the rule is your torps so your mistake and you should apologise in chat.

My own rule when I was new was never to buy a Prem ship for a tier I had not already grinded to...

 

Still WG want you to spend money regardless. Even if that's for £40 T8 CVs 

If you really want it and it's on sale I'd say buy it, just don't go playing it in randoms until your ready for that tier.

20min ago in battle:

Martel torping cap 10km away. He kill our DD in start of battle. 

Ok. Idiot. 

But. 

He has toxic words on rest of team until battle ends. Why? Why? Why? 

No answer for this.

It can be frustrating at times when a teammate does this. In my early days this happened to me a LOT! Yes I was a total torp n00b back then 

 

But the most important lessons I had to learn (and it's already been mentioned) is these and consider these like rules that are always correct and you mold to fit these rules always:

 

If you torp an ally, it is always your responsibility

Never torp from second line.

 

But remember, even though it is always your responsibility, obviously it could've been a mistake on your account.

You're new to the game with 83 battles and there isn't a player here who hasn't earned a pink penalty for friendly fire..

The trick is learning from it so you reduce the chances of it happening again and I assure you it will.. even the most experienced of us still occasionally have a hiccup.

Learn your ship and before firing torpedoes be aware of where your allies are.. if there is any chance of a torpedo hitting an ally don't fire.. if you fire a torpedo and hit an ally you cannot blame the ally.

Don't panic over being pink and in time the penny will drop....

I see it often, player drop torps toward enemy not looking if they are dangerous to own ships!

The best are this special players which drops torpedoes at enemys when they are far out of range of their torpedoes!

[Ferry_25]

Priceless! In low tier battles the are far more dangerous foes than the red ships. OP seems to be that kind of ace player.

 

Edit: in all tier battles. FI.FM...

Actually, Le Terrible with speed boost is faster than the water mines of ships like Sims, Leone and the Ducas. And it can meet those.

 

Also, air-launched torps are (until rework) slower than some high speed DDs.

Fact of WoWS, OP, that if your torps sufficiently damage or kill any friendly ship  you go pink. Doesn't matter that an idiot on your team runs in front of them.

You take the 'pinkness'. Play the pinkness out (however many games) & move on.

'Pink' happens.

Today I learned:

Archduke Franz Ferdinand was just a noob who drove in the path of a moving bullet.
You'd think HE would have turned pink, with him starting WWI and all.

Correct, I was once at close range to a BB visible in the gap between 2 high islands (playing Russian DD crappy 4km torps), just as the torps were through the gap a friendly cruiser charged across the gap in front of the BB on the other side of the island and caught the lot!, you can't see the cruiser either visually or on the map because of the islands, no other friendly's around, it's just one of those things , and you don't stay pink for long, not worth obsessing over after all it's only a game. 

 

Usually hyper careful with torps, I tend to use them up close and personal these days, be especially careful with the long range kind, 8 - 10km torps can easily end up in friendly territory if you don't watch your angles

Such low quality bait
