Ranked Sprint Season 7

[lossi_2018]

Its annoying as all hells per usual, cvs are a problem as are the premium ships and 19 point captains (if you dont have one) and all the stuff people have mentioned and haven't read... anyway,  cuz per usual mm never puts 2 competent teams against eachother, so... whatever you do, your team will mess it up or... whatever yr team does you will mess it up ( ) Having said that, I will play it as I'm in a losing streak algorithm (start of month Lossi-turn-to-lose) and very poor ||  Soo I need creds without having to be annoyed (there's that word again) wit defeats.

Very different to the previous Tier VI sprint. CVs are making no-one happy, as per usual. Enjoying playing Fubuki, though.

PEF? Yes, I see them time to times and far between in ops.

I have one, left me a nasty impression when I had to run away from an Arizona, that was a first.

Normandie, it's OK, Izmail, I can see why.

But why nobody speaks of Bayern?

what's wrong with it?

IMHO it's much better than all of those others, especially FUSO.

 

I don't know, but in the latest ranked they were complaining about a dd infestation, so I think they will try to immolate that in this one, at least until they bump into the cvs, then you might be thankful to having a Dallas in your team, I know I will.

Dallas may not be a Cleveland, may not have the range, but others do have all of those things, Dallas has the concealment, fire power, it requires a bit of skill, and patience

It will be my first time, I haven't the slightest clue what to expect (I only hope that will be similar to halo battles).

But t6? I have a nice selection of ships to choose from.

I was kinda hoping a dd infestation, to be honest.

small correction, a very important and small.

CLs intead of CA.

I think I will start with a CL that wasn't mention in here, yet.

Buddy?... for sure..

I played with Flamu, twice now

1st game he was trying out the t-61 WIP, strait map I was in the opposite cap, we run into trouble and we were fighting but things weren't going bad, 6, 7 minutes later he was already closing down to our cap, he already had cap the other two points, his flank had smashed the reds over there and smashed the reds on our side.

2nd game he was in the t6 English cv WIP, Two brothers, I was in my Gneise, the battle went ok for me but I couldn't resist and send him a chat message at the start of the battle.

Hi flamu, pls leave a little meat around the bones for us, something like that.

It's nice to have such a player in our team, it feels nice and warm but at the same time it's not very fun.

I played against flambass in a division with a BB (v-61 WIP) and wasn't very nice.

1 - the green team panicked and focused on him hard, he was the entire red team, they rushed and got sunk. until we lost, very toxic team.

2 - the same thing as flamu but against us, so not very fun.

 

 

 

 

 

I was once playing a CV, not sure which one, and one of those tow were in a DD chasing me down, lordy how they could manoeuvre their DD's, so hard wa it to land rockets on them.

 

Shame they never show themselves in the forums, might make for some interesting posts.

t61, since i like to have control over the match, i dont like sitting in a cruiser or battleships cause they are more dependent on the team. 

 

Carrier just completely shits on your freedom of movement in a 7v7, they have no place in any mode with less than 12 ships per team, its just stupid. I mean really they dont even have a place in 12v12 random, but atleast they are less annoying there.

ufffff!

At least you did not answer in a cruiser and in which cruiser.

That won't make any difference at the end of the day, thou.

 

I agree 100 % with you there.

I'll wait a bit to enter ranked sprint. I'm in no rush, nor I expect to rank out, at least, in my first time.

In my mind that type of things will blow over a bit before I go in.

 

Ranked sprint already begun, it's noticeably in other modes

Ranked sprint, the only ranked i actually enjoy - and there's fecking CVs now - i mean ffs WG,  are you trying your best to ruin the game? 

 

Training centre is a pain, as all the low/medium tiers so far seem be have guaranteed 2 CVs. It's as bad as post CV rework at the moment. AA does naff all. Bravo WG

[Danucu_Tigger]

Played my Warspite with only a 14pt captain and it feels like a sort of tier 6 Musashi. Good consistent guns and that superheal make for an enjoyable play. Plenty of citadels even at long range against broadsiding cruisers and Izmails (hahaha).

 

A friend told me to play ranked extensively in the first few days, because later the wheat gets sorted from the chaff and you're more likely to end up in a potato team. In Sprint there are a lot more unexperienced players (not necessarily bad) than in regular Ranked, so don't be surprised to see stock ships without cammo or flags. Winning is not really a coordinated team effort, but it rather goes down to which team has the most experienced players. 

 

Playing against premium ships with legendary 19pt captains is no fun, but at least in Ranked Spirit you don't get uptiered like I got yesterday (3 times in a row!) in my Mass when everyone took their brand-new Pan-European DD for a ride... 

[Hopeless_Guppy]

Had a few games earlier, and I was almost tempted to turn chat off, cap here cap there, seriously it is making me as ragey as the cesspit known as WoT's. So many order given by those who think a BB can turn on a dime, I was biting my toungue, where as in WoT's I just let fly in the chat

[Episparh]

Done. Ryujo is the best CV 

[Lord_WC]

Did it in one sitting mostly with warspite with 80% WR.

CVs pushed out DDs (don't know why people didn't use Monaghan to troll them), so you could carry very hard with BBs.

I met some monoghans... They failed to troll me #JustDodge

Too bad I sort of suck in BB:s then.

I've been thinking about the Monaghan, which is one of the few premium destroyers I don't have. I like the Kidd and her ability to just wipe those pesky planes off the windshield, but I'm not good enough to reliably carry my weight at that tier yet. Having a tier VI destroyer that can deal with planes, would be most welcome.

 

Also for a while there, I was under the impression that the CV situation was beginning to sort itself out? The main problem, as I've been seeing it, is that whenever there are more than one carrier on each team, they can easily cover the entire map between them. If there's just the one, you can deal with it - too bad if he decides to focus on you, but then he'll be busy with that and the rest of your team can get on with winning the battle. Having two or more on each team is one too much even in a normal random battle; I can't begin to think how bad it would be in a 7 vs. 7 ranked battle.

 

Please note that this is not a rant against CV:s or CV players. I want CV:s in World of Warships - I just don't want them to turn the game into World of Carriers and Sidekicks!

[Imsali]

Unfortunately, I am AFK, but: as a BB main I will try my best T6 ships first, the Huanghe and the Perth - otherwise, if BBs work better, the Better-Bayern aka the PEF, as I guess a brawler is needed for this occasion.

I love T6, such a great selection of ships!

Had a couple of games today and to be honest I've had to walk away. Some of the stuff I've seen sigh, and from players with several thousand games under their belt as well. CV's are a blight in ranked there I've said it . 

[invicta2012]

Monaghan doesn't really troll CVs but she does have enough AA pep to make them go away,  especially if you work closely with cruisers. And really that's all you want them to do... Go away. Once you can get free you can do all the important spotting stuff that wins games (more so than torp salvos, IMHO).

Because CVs can dumpster any DD that's not in smoke ?

[Bear__Necessities]

The biggest let down in ranked teams this sprint are BB’s. CV’s aren’t that over powering. DD’s are not that over powering. Cruisers.... why even bother playing them. You win or lose depending on your BB players. If you get the aggressive pushing BB’s who tank and focus targets you win. If you get the passive ones (most BB players you lose).

 

Simple option is to pick the BB, preferably in a 2 BB division (sorry solo guys). Then move with the majority of your team to the cap they pick and go from there. Strong BB choice are Russian Bias Izmail, AA platform PEF or Warspite as it can overmatch all the other BB with the biggest gun that are accurate at all ranges.

Aye, Warspite seems a good choice. Was the only BB that seemed to be able to fight back against the Izmail I used. Ranked in 1 day also, 21 games which was not so painful at all.

Arizona - slowest, biggest sh!t. Never use this crap.

[DanSilverwing]

I've been using PEF with 7.6km secondaries, and covering the middle cap. The long-range (5.2km) AA is good on paper, but while punishing doesn't feel either deterring or destructive. I didn't get a lot of CV matches though, and when I did the skill gap in the CV players was very influential on the outcome. Most hilarious was the one with 5-a-side DDs (plus a CL and a BB).

I didn't run into a lot of them, but when I did, it surprised me with long range accuracy. I was citadeled bow on at over 14km a couple of times in my Warspite by Arizonas. And they seem pretty durable when angled.

Yes, it is slow, but most BBs at tier 6 are not much faster. I guess the biggest risk is poor AA.

Biggest guns, what about the Mutso with it's 410's or the W Virginia with it's 406's, i wil head back later to see if the Warspite can make me love her, at least in this mode she will never be uptiered.

key points about Warspite are it's accuracy, speed of turn and fact you don't have to show lots of broadside to punish enemies.

The way I see it this Sprint is just as much fun as I expected it to be with a single league, now you can pray to god of your choosing for 4 ot 5 good teams in a row or you can screw yourself, its not BBs bad or CVs bad its ALL bad, you take a bb you get the brain numbing stupid dds that dont spot, dont contest caps dont do crap really, if you take a dd you get a moron bbs that camp 15km behind you, you take a CV out you get imbeciles that refuse to take cap although only 2 enemy ships survive vs 5 of your own... I seriously doubt that those 10k coal will keep me in this swamp cesspool of feces this season has devolved into in just a day and a half...

Only if you live in Incorrectland as Arizona is the best T6 BB there is. Period. Only Izmail is fighting her for top spot across the board. I suggest maybe practicing more or asking for advice on how to play it better. Before making utter rubbish statements like that.

Plus then you also get he flaming in the chat, lol,plus no matter what you do in whatever ship you take, it is always your fault the team lost
