[R3B3L] HystericalAccuracy Players 1,505 posts 40,428 battles Report post #6 Posted June 6, 2021 Just had a "teammate" in Pommern, shooting HE only. In chat we suggested a few times to use AP, but he answered "on this range he better". Well he was right, as never left spawn. I don´t know what he was torping though, being 10km short on range to hit anything but his teammates.  Also every single Georgia today max-range sniping. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[R7S] lovelacebeer Players 4,158 posts 25,226 battles Report post #7 Posted June 6, 2021 I know I’m not a particularly good player but there are times I do despair at the quality of game play.  On the PTS today I had a rather opinionated fellow telling me how to play the Japanese super battleship because I clearly don’t know what I’m doing in his opinion. Now see the result screen and I come second from top (winning team) he comes bottom but the real icing on the cake is next battle he and I are vs each other in the same Satsuma. He camps all battle decrying his DDs in open chat rather than come out and fight, so he comes bottom on the loosing team, I come top with 4 kills and he is still convinced he knows what he is doing.  This all too often is the mindset of a lot of players in game they believe they are great and everyone just needs to follow their orders. I do not believe there is an easy answer to teaching people how to play better, I still have a long way to go in that regard but for what it’s worth I do sympathise with the OPs frustration. Just wait for subs though when passively sitting at the back of the map is actively encouraged.  5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BBs park behind island, enemy caps, we lose by points. They parked 5 m away from cap but nothinmg.... WTF. Â Another one example. All BBs parked in the middle of the map, in the B cap and did basically nothing... Â Next time all BBs parked behind island. Then turned around. Sailed to map edge... And we lose on points cause noone caps but me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[NWP] Bear__Necessities Players 5,291 posts 15,379 battles Report post #12 Posted June 6, 2021 I've got a screen shot of a team where 4 of my 5 DD's died in first 3 minutes of a game. Leaving me the only DD for the rest of it. (I won for the record because I killed 4 of their 5 DD's myself and capped 3 caps solo.) I had a CV die in 2 mins. 2 mins... A CV. Because he didn't want to move. And a game last week of a triple Atlanta div eating every Torp a Kagero could throw into a channel. All 3 radar ships dead in 5 mins.  So I still stand by all players are stupid, not just these select few. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Next 3 games all wins and in all of those games our BB’s supported the caps / team really, really well  They didn’t YOLO they just balanced aggression with not over committing  With any class, in the hands of a competent player they are match winners  In the hands of poor players, they are match losers 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is some truth in this: I just had a Ranked game lost by our 'friendly' DD who decided to liven up an otherwise dull afternoon by blowing my Haida out of the water with his torps; that, combined with subsequent blithering idiocy lost us the game.

I don´t know what he was torping though, being 10km short on range to hit anything but his teammates. ROFL. I have Pommern as well. I use it as a fat DD. That is, I shoot AP until I get close. Then I change to HE (as they angle...) and burn everything within 12km. If they get closer, I'll torp them. Works. Low damage, but that is because I usually meet some DDs... they do not survive the encounter. Sometimes I do not, too. But the DD (or two, or three...) is dead...   7 hours ago, Takethatyoubeast said: How can anyone enjoy doing that ?  I guess they must as they keep playing I don't know. Must be pure boredom. Lots of people are like that. They just "play the game", meanwhile they are watching Pr0n on a second screen, playing with their cat, cooking dinner, "working at home" or whatever. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
