[RAIN] GarrusBrutus Players 3,711 posts 12,557 battles Report post #4 Posted June 14, 2020 I disagree. Plenty of cover in hightier maps, but you have to know how to use them. There is the main issue with most of the players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[EUR] lossi_2018 Players 3,122 posts Report post #7 Posted June 14, 2020 Don't bully a player to quit the game or bring up needlessly his post history. He asked a normal question without any provocative words in. Mods can someone do something about this? Do we want players to just quit, even when they don't express it? 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To more effectively block shells, due do longer average engagement distances. Doesn't really stop US or UK low velocity guns though from island camping.

I have no sympathy for people going to a forum, loudly announcing that the game is bad and that they quit the game only to come back in a couple of days. Do I mind that he is playing WoWs again?

Not at all. Then why bring it up. OP, I dont think its because of the maps. It's mostly the meta and long range engagements at high tiers that make the play boring. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s deliberate, as boring maps fit the boring camping meta quite well. 6 hours ago, nambr9 said: The only map that I rly enjoy is the Estuary. Hot Spot is my all time favorite. Solomons is a close second, sadly it’s a low tier map. 5 hours ago, Zemeritt said: Considering how bad WG has made the Islands of Ice map over the patches, don't expect much.

But as with all other things, spread shiet said, it needs to be optimized. So WG optimized the fun out of the maps. 4 hours ago, El2aZeR said: Because WG likes to maximize profit nowadays. Hence why every new map is basically made by copy-&-paste'ing sections of existing maps together nowadays. Has been standard procedure since the dawn of gaming on PC. If you look at the textures of ships of a line of any nation, you’ll see that small and mid sized turrets as well as various clutter and greebles found ships shares the same texture. Whild it is recommend for ships to save load and loading time for textures on the gpu, it’s considered bad form for environments. 4 minutes ago, Figment said: Once upon a time they made the map Ocean.
