Weekenders

[MadBadDave]

Hands up who "doesn't" encounter the usual weekend ritual of infrequent warship warriors ?, The latest update has finally resolved matchmaking, not sure about the reworked, reworked, rework, as AA still doesn't work right, e.g planes from a T6 CV vs a T7 DD and planes from a T6 CV vs T8 Bismarck, can anyone explain how and why the DD does better, and the Bis has an AA rating of 77, personally I don't like the new AA set up, and the fact that a T6 Cv is happy to head straight for a T8 Bismarck, as opposed to lower Tier Cruisers and DD's, says it all.    AA is still not right.

 

So with progress in mind, could WG please consider putting weekend warriors into there own little lemming, blob world please.

 

So far today, cruisers sitting behind me (In Bismarck, despite going half speed), 5 team mates within spitting distance of each other dancing, no that's too energetic; crawling around a handbag while being encircled as I try to fend off the Reds, although it did make a change from lemming off  into the distance, AFK's would've put up a tougher fight, to name but 2 thus far today.

 

My average damage, kills and stats have deffo improved, and then we get to the weekend, anyone else frustrated ?.

Weekend means more potato’s to harvest.

You shouldn't care about statistics. If WarGaming cared about skilled gameplay they wouldn't have released carriers in their current state and wouldn't have thought about even adding subs to this freaking mess. 

But welcome to World of Al

Or to throw your already won game away. After all, Random Battles are not about battle of skill, but battle of ineptitude. Team with more of it wins defeat.

You encounter these guys during weekdays too..

 

And the weaker the other players, the better you should perform...

Stop being lazy and start using the sector reinforcement. And if you don’t know how to use it, go to the 0.8.7 patch notes on WG website, it’s explained well there.

I use it in shinonome a couple of times -seen a bit of improvement , then the sole guy operating the sole machine gun i had, got blasted away by shrapnel and it all returned to like it was. So I stopped using it

Shinonome is a poor example tbh

Tru dat.

 

Played my first game in the Fusilier today. No flags and just a three point captain. Came in second in team on XP.

If you want to avoid what you (or anyone) consider(s) potatoes, and have the right level ships for it, simply do ranked.

 

Be it for credit farming. Be it for silver ship levelling (that's why I'm in for it, with 1.44M exp grinded in this season, and just 350k more to go). Be it for just getting away from tardplay and roflstompspeshuluniqumthreemanholdeachothersjunksquads (however, you will have clans joining in on ranked too, sometimes 3 on a side, without WG punishing or even caring about this). Or simply just wanting to have a rewarding feeling about agressive gameplay (and evading those certain randoms where the map is starting to bend due to the crushing overweight in rows A and J). Either of these, during which in 80-90% of the cases, you will completely avoid total idiots throwing the game the moment it kicks off. You will gradually be put into EXACTLY that bracet ( <12, 12-5, 5< ) where you belong according to your personal and communicational skills, and can generally expect similarly skilled play as to what you yourself have to offer for your team. 

 

Granted, ranked tends to have a superiorly toxic chat and reporting bonanza compared to randoms. However, you can get just as many or more complements as reports in ranked (if you even care about this in the first place)... and in all honesty, any and all toxic communication between players beats the retarded poopstorm and horrors that you experience during just a few games in random mode.

I am and do, hence the question why if AA was so good and at 77 it should swat most of the flies away , is DD more effective , and obviously either it was a weekender cv or someone that’s knows AA  is still broken ?., if you had a t6 cv would you fly past t6 &7 dd and cruisers to get to a T8 BB ?

A T6 shouldn’t get more than 1 attack if you used the sector reinforcement. After all you’re in a Bismarck not a Kii or NC than can tear those T6 planes into pieces before they reach him. Bismarck has mediocre AA at best.

A Bismarck should not have any problems with Tier VI CV. If you do, you are doing it wrong. The fact that you still consider the AA rating relevant makes it obvious.

And yes, many CV prefer to farm damage than to win games. It happens. Be glad if you have such a CV in the enemy team, then your DD have an easier job.

Could be worse, weekend warriors on EU = NA 24/7/365

Take in consideration the higher age of the players on NA. There’s a lot of 70+ players that are mostly Vietnam war veterans.
