Quick question... is it a bug that if rocket planes even sniff land their aim is totaly out... or is it by design to make them even worse than they all ready are?


Its a "feature"... That allow german rockets to shoot at the other side of the map if the island is tall enough. Isn't that a fantastic feature ?

Still, I think mostly players would pick something up along the way ..... just by accident.

They do... mostly the wrong things, they learn from the other potatoes they meet...

Check teams with one of those tools available, and you see that in most teams the number of skilled players from new players could really learn something postitive is greatly (or if you're a fan of that orange-haired former US president: bigly) reduced or trending towards 0 (= zero...)

I still get baffled that its possible to grind to T10 Shimakaze and understand the game so little.

 

To be fair Ahskance doesn't understand CV play either so it evens out. :Smile_trollface:

Yes, that is intentional given that WG changed it to be that way.

I do hate it when Ahskance shows us how carriers are no threat to your destroyer if you follow his prescription.

Then you watch him play destroyer and get hit just like the rest of us.

That might be (myself I know little of CV gameplay) but I thought he at least tried to explain (with great patience) to the raging noob in the Shima. He just hates CVs for all the wrong reasons. Like for instance their ability to have plane in actual air early on in the game and the fact that they actually go on scouting runs at start.... like ... really?!?! And you grinded to the Shima? Not understanding how AA blooms your detect ...

To be fair that is a pretty legitimate reason to hate CVs given that no other class can get anything done this early nor could the previous incarnation of CVs do this.

In fact CVs are the only class that can actually enforce afk penalty (aka kill an active enemy ship so early so fast that they get penalized as afk), did you know that? It's pretty hilarious when it happens.

Got another noticeable drop in hightier, lowtier kinda stabilized. Just as a sidenote: I think the 2nd beta for rework started mid october which kinda fits with my old numbers since you have a constant 0,3% drop there for the next couple weeks till january where the test server got closed again. So the magical number to reach in hightier is roughly 1,7%. We are almost there... 

 

Also lowtier in general had a big drop in player numbers. I don't think there was some event or anything

Replays could tell that yes, but further more, why he has no fun.

 

When you do 10 kills in a game and show me that replay without any words, I could probably tell you, that you had fun. (or Assuming)

I don't understand this entirely, without the dates/periods. (Although I do understand from this table that total low tier player numbers have fallen off a cliff, CVs played as a percentage of total has undergone a healthy decline at all tiers, quality drop at high tiers. 1.9%!

Will Russian CVs reverse the trend?

No need for replays, just look his games from today,  it's easy to see by number of planes shot that he was bullied by CVs and had no fun games by quite disappointing results for a player of his skill. He says 1 was fun so probably rest was even worse then this average.

 

i hope that It's not stat shaming, he's just too good for it :cap_haloween:

Why? So you can debate my level of fun had? Nah. You can ask one of the CV players though. Hey, @arquata2019 how much fun did I have as a heavy cruiser against your CV this morning??? 

 

In this game I clearly had SO much counterplay against this CV. He does that damage for the sum of a few planes.

I'm glad to answer :D!

Amount of fun you had, right? Uhm...

Let's analyze it: You were playing a surface ship, Moskva, and at the start of the match you were escorting Marceau. I came, striking you for 10k in a non-dodgable attack and setting a fire on you, DCPing, hoping to not have any enemy BBs to shoot HE at you; Marceau same, basically you two lost many HP without doing anything wrong. Let's move to the end of the game. You were helping your team (which evaporated) and took position near an island. You were fighting many ships, but i came striking you for 18k+ and setting a fire with DBs while your DFAA was on. And then i killed you with torpedoes you couldn't dodge.

So, fun you had? not at all, fighting a CV in a surface ship.

So. Much. Fun.

Thank you very much, I feel flattered.

 

Also, thank you for reporting me in this match - this is the best proof I did a good job. Someone else from your team also highly regarded my work, since I got that silly message with karma -2 in the port.

I highly doubt you ever do a good job.
