I think the qualifying Battles should be 1000 battles in Random Only

 

I also think WG should come down HEAVY on Toxic Chat and Toxic Game Play

 

anyway ~~~

 

 

 

Well maybe many like me created a new account after a long stop but they have experience enough.

If you need to put a cap on battles played, 130 is fairly good, 200 perhaps? not much of a difference.

The real difference should lie on win/lost ratio (not less than 50% at least!) or base exp (hard to decide which amount). I would not consider the average damage, because this is related to many other factors (like types of ships, roles, etc.)
I would definitely suggest win/lost ratio. I understand some people may be unlucky and keep loosing, but when you are below 50 after 130 battles there is something wrong in your playing (i had around 70% at that time or more)

I think " not losing a star " promotes Toxic Play

 

Kinda true, in reality I personally never strove to get that "not losing a star", since playing for winning is always more rewarding.

When you do play to save the star is actually at the end of the battle when you already realized that all is lost, so there is nothing wrong in saving you from the destiny of a monkey team sometimes

I have a cunning plan

 

I am trying to come up with the worst possible T6 ship I can come up with and so far its this:-

 

not expert in US lines but wasn't the dallas supposed to have a very low citadel? compared to other cruisers at least, US overall. That would be a good point in her favor since at least she would not get one shotted

Playing with a full AA build now on it.

 

Its a bit of a strange citadel.

 

 

Its got some useful tools

Dallas full AA build   V   a            in Random.     so far ~~

 

[Bortasqu]

Aoba is pretty bad, didn't get that ship to work even once.

What will be the best ships for this?

I am not sure, there is already hate campaigns in discord about CV,s.

 

A lot seem to be going for Prinz Eitel with a full secondary build, which I am starting to warm to.

 

 

 

Addendum ;-

 

so far :-

 

58 eu players in a private discord channel

 

27 vote PEF

 

12 vote Dallas

 

10 vote T-61

 

8 dont know

 

1 vote Ranger

Im not touching PEF with a six foot poll, the guns are nigh useless even every blue moon they actually hit where they are supposed to, either W.Virginia, Mutsu or Izmail if I take the bb road, T61 or maybe even Guepard if I decide on dd, dont know if picking any cruiser will make much sense (again) in those tiers and 6vs6 but if I do take one it will likely be de grasse or budyonny and if CV becomes a must I will take Ruyo I guess for torping crap out of the water...

[Bortasqu]

I'm gonna use the Leander, and roll through the ranks.

Izmail might be a strong pick not sure what the AA is like on it and I dont have one, so do I want to folk out 3.3 mill on one?

 

WV is going to over match most things, I dont have one of them either 

 

[Yedwy]

Well all RU bbs are well, interesting lets put it like that, its not Sinop level of power but decent and 12x14" guns with super accuracy are nothing to frown on, however i just remembered i have Warspite might be i take her out, overmatch caliber, decent-ish speed (better then WV  for sure) and well armored, I think I ll take her  as my prime choice actually

In the begining I will take whatever I am regriding. When it will become a nightmare to carry the potatos T-61 for a win.

Gonna farm so many potato’s in T-61 at T6 then Enterprise and Saipan at T8.

 

Ohhh it will be glorious.

DD's come forward , I'm ready

 

what will be the trending ships?

Leander and T-61, usually. The latter is over-rated. Normandie and Izmail will do well, on the basis that having more guns generally works.

1) Torp-build Mutsu - for bonus points employ IJN DD commander with survival expert. 

2) Gnevny - 4km torps - gotta love them....

3) Pensacola - survival optional.

4) Huang He - credit to anyone who can make it work, most can't.

1) Mutsu is really powerful at tVI, maybe not torp build but still powerful guns, nice secondary + torps with 20 sec reload and it is funny to see dds unable to dodge single torp fired by a bb
2) Gnevny... Hmm in division with T61 she could be quite powerful at nuking dds hydroed by T61, however I'd go for Anshan instead due to better torp range
4) Huange He is a great ship however she needs someone to spot for her to show her full potential

 

and from the four you've mentioned the winner is Pepsicola... No camo, long reload, no maneuverability, armor as good as Pepsi-Cola can, however she is glass cannon with guns that can punish any dd or cruiser hard

If the meta will be similar to t9 season Fushun could be kind of bad choice with her deep water torps, however guns are still as good as Gnevny's
In my personal opinion Nurnberg is also not a very good choice, however many players will probably disagree here
As for bbs I don;t see any particular underdogs, however, again in my personal opinion, German bbs might be underperforming when they will face Izmail's or Virginia's/Mutsu's with their 406/410 guns
 

@SmashUrr Duca will be a perfect ship for meta with dds prevailing, however in other cases she is nothing more than average

I agree with you, re T-61 being over rated,  I also think Belfast is over rated as well.

I think on The Duca, the AA may be an issue should the meta be CV rich.  The Duca is also is a " Mans Duelling Ship " so if your team runs out on you for what ever nonsensical reason, you are in the " SH*1T".

 

The other possible issue with the meta is " divisions " One suspects they will be " Clan,ys  " or close friends, which I feel does not bear well for a random rank team, should there be a " division agenda ".

 

On the whole this season looks like a Primeval Swamp of sheer Drama, Is it worth playing ?  One ask,s His Self ???   

 

The prizes do not amount to the cost of the signals and consumables one will spend.

 

The possible hullabaloo, from pontificating, dogmatic, self- righteous, self proclaimed experts, will make on game play, I think will " Remove the joy " from the meta!

I'll probably give it a go and if I see that I'm going backwards instead of forward I'll just quit, as you said rewards are almost nonexistent so it'll be either fast 1 or fast quit

Umm.. OK?

 

So you really dont´spend consumables and flags on random battles getting nothing in return unlike here?

 

 I think ranked sprint is very viable gamemode probably the best gamemode WG has thought of in recent history. It gives good xp for grinds and games are faster than random slugfests or normal ranked and you get rewarded with flags and credits and in the end with coal. Also getting achievments like high caliber or dreadnought or fireproof in ranked sprint is pretty easy thus earning you more flags.  I see no economic reason to not play ranked sprints comparing to for example random battles.

 

Care to elaborate?

T-61 over-rated? You’re having a bubble bath aren’t ya??

 

Its the best DD for sprint amping them all...

Who says, a player does not spend consumables on " THEIR GAME "

care to try and explain why I'm wrong then @SmashUrr rather than pointlessly down vote? I mean I'll be waiting for an expert like you to tell me why it's not the strongest DD pretty much in its tier....

Consumables yes, but i usually earn more than i spend so i lose nothing and earn some silver
Flags? No i don;t use flags in random (other than economic, but in their case i see what i get in return)

Having more than 1000 of each flag i don;t see any economic reason to play ranked

It is, or rather it would be if there was a division on at least two 'leagues' like ranks 10-r and then 5-1, as there is not so:

The fact that it probably is the best dd for t6 sprint and probably strongest DD in its tier not necessarily means that it is not overrated ;)
