That's lost 40%. Weekends are worst. Ppl die like flies. 

So, you mean it is normal? Eh. Thought that when there is a guy that has 40%, somewhere else there must be a 60%.

But maybe I am wrong there. Could be. It might be that one has 80% and then there's a lot more that have that 40%.

This. Clantag plus those that play well - positioning etc. Matchmonitor is just depressing with 43-47%being majority. 

Well, I know a BIT about statistics and I know WG is doing it sort of wrong. 

On the Bell-curve, the average is actually between 45 and 55%. Anything between that is insignificant. 

 

Usually I end up with about 50% more XP than the enemy CV. Doesn't get me the win though. 

It doesn't even get me good damage, in a short game. And most of them just are quite short. 

Even if it's a win , damage is usually crud due to 7 minute games.

Only exception is ships that have klots of dakka or heavy-hitting torps.

I don't care about damage to be honest.

I play for fun.

For me fun is to win.

I play to win.

NEWSFLASH

good and bad news, depends on how you like your eggs done, I guess.

Interesting. Bad news for anyone who likes their eggs runny and slimy, good news for everyone else. :Smile_teethhappy:

I mean more like, ships that you have < 50% in, you do not play very much and you just grinded.

Well when I notice after a number of battles that I

  • don't like the playstyle of a ship and
  • don't manage to play successfull in it
  • and really have to ship for any other reason than of it existing

then I probably stop playing it. Like most US DDs. RN cruisers above T7. French BBs... etc. etc. Or not.

Well, you won't be. In most CVs you cannot carry unless you are very good to unicum. 

In weekends if the team wants to throw it, they will.

Easy to avoid that: I just don't plays CVs on the weekend then :cap_cool:

Alas, it's not really with CVs and other class - in my experience at least - as I can't a whole sack potatoes all by myself in any class. The number of battles I have lost after sinking 3+ ships and ending up on the #1 spot of the losing team is horribly high... but usually is equal to the number of battles the team wins for me after me f*cking up by being to aggressive...

Never liked this game designs like the "tapping" for engine boost, so I see such changes welcoming. At that the attack squad takes full dmg is alos not that bad, mostly they dont take any dmg anyways ^^'

I like the engine boost change

Dont give me goosebumps with this news about nerf. I will be so angry if this isn't nerf but a false joy for us WC-haters.

oh no, cv players now have to choose their targets carefully instead of dabbing on everyone regardless how good their AA is...

Yes, I've always dreamt of playing spotting utensil simulator 2020 and scoring Krakens with sub 10k damage done:cat_cool:

She seems pretty gud, but clumsy at the sametime.

 

Watched all the latest round of FDR videos already :cap_haloween:

 

Watching the CCs play it though was honestly a little painful. Very potato CV players.

Ye, there times they should of just pressed F or aligned better with their planes. Doesnt seem like they understand the flak pattern either.

New CV reticle seems gud. No actual reticle :cap_haloween::fish_happy:

Maybe WG can intergrate a select button in the game, with or without cv's. Would make the game intresting again. There is no more fun/joy to play with the cv's, its unfair to play against them even with AA cruisers, you just dont do any damage. Think the cv players are the only once to get to rank 1 this time..... Enjoy the weekend all

She seems a bit of an odd fish to be honest, the setup looks like she's designed for noob CV players, but then she's only available for steel and thus to experienced players only.

 

The big weakness is the slow planes and low regen rate, what that seems to mean in practice is that she's very vulnerable to fighters so the enemy CV could potentially shut it down quite hard, would F-spam help here?

 

It could be a feast or famine ship depending upon the opposing CV player, if the red CV's a potato then it's just pure unopposed damage farming, if the red CV knows what he's doing you are not going to have a good day.

Yeah, shes seems to abhor a lot of extremes. I wouldn't be surprised if coral sea was turned into a kaga clone with some changes here there, but keeping some american flavour.

the massive size and HP of the squadrons sets her apart, will be interesting to see how effective the fighters of enemy CVs prove versus these HP heavy squadrons. Will they steam roll through fighter pickets, or will they be demolished?

Out of idle curiosity, how is the additional HP meant to be relevant to fighters? I recognise that the larger squad size is a factor, but not the toughness of the individual planes.
