Let me get this straight. So DD players detest fast and agile BBs outmaneuvering their torps whereas BBs don't want destroyers to have an edge over them in stealth and torpedoes?   Sounds fair. 

 

There's no pleasing some folk.

Because he didnt come asking what is happening. Just rant off about its a bug and dds, while being completely oblivious about the most basic parts.

 

If he'd started in a bit more careful manner like "guys what is happening here.." the general response might not have the same tone.

 

Seeing planes in the sky, on the minimap and sound of AA suddenly banging away could be clues that the torpedoes are not a bug.

 

Edit: and it seems its not the occational mistake either..

[SnuSnu_RIP]

Perfect example for the current playerbase. Opening a topic in the forum, showing some "evidence" and at the end it was just a to tight tinfoil hat.

So in the the OP could do himself and other players a favour by not playing in divisions, right?

3 man divs with under 45% WR are almost impossible to carry

Sooo...

when being the only player on a team with an above 53% winrate and seeing the average team winrate being at ~45% - which happens quite a lot  recently - how can a 45% WR division make the situation any worse?

I suspect because bad players (no offense to the OP) might actually play worse in a div than they would solo.

 

With BBs, they might stay very close to one another, creating no crossfire but giving torpedoboats an easier target.

With DDs, they might also sail together, leaving large sections of the "front" unscreened.

 

Those "tactics" are actually worse than going solo and just trying to be useful wherever you spawn.

 

In my experience, strong players tend to div up with ships of different type, say Gearing+DM or FDR+Bourgogne+Halland, so that they complement each other well.

Bad players tend to div up with the same type of ship, often literally the same one. Whenever I see a 2xTirpitz division I say to myself "wait...they're about to do something stupid", and I'm usually right

You are in your ship you can see the enemy in the distance, you give chase you fire a few salvo's then suddenly 8 torps come at you from nowhere and only becoming visible just before they impact your ship you look and from the direction they have come and all you see is an island.......

If you hadn´t had ur eyes glued into binocular view u may have noticed the torp planes

This must be some DD main troll trying to make us, BB main, look bad. It's a conspiracy

doesn't need a troll to make BB mains look bad... they are able to achieve that all by themselves, regularly.

Guy's so I made a mistake, but thankfully one person answered my problem constructively and I then understood, after that comes the P*&& takers, WG's behaviour is not the only reason people leave, your comments prove how toxic this forum can get, over a simple miss-understanding of the game,  now for a fact, there is actually a very good reason I failed to spot this, because it was the first time I had personally come up against one of these ships, but thanks to those who tried to give me advice and a steer in the right direction for that I thank them, to the rest well I leave it to you decide on your responses .

Do you not have Ise in your head?

Starting such a tread going off at the deep end about "iNvIsIblE dEsTrOyErS" and not even in the paint edit realizing that there clearly are planes overhead that just literally dropped an ordnance of torps, awmagwad!

 

A few days ago there were a thread 'bout what was most annoying to you........welp, perhaps players like this?

but, to be fair, its mostly WeeGees fault... the game trains you about practically nothing and the default mini-map is smaller than a postage stamp.

 

Ironically the small size of the default mini-map is to "not confuse the player" thus resulting in this players confusion as to where the torps come from.

The Ise torp planes dropped torps on you. Watch the torp plane icon over your ship on the minimap. 

Yap, very much one of reasons to stop playing this game.

Torps are now everywhere...

If you'll permit some feedback: as someone alluded to earlier, you tend to get more helpful responses on here if you couch these sorts of things in terms of 'x has happened - can someone explain how/why, please?'; when you start with it's a bug/needs fixing etc. you're more likely to trigger less helpful responses.

 

In an ideal world, everyone would exercise patience in all cases, but if you spend more than a few weeks on this forum, you start to encounter the same sorts of things over and over and it gets harder to not be a smartass. For instance, people not understanding vision mechanics is a common source of this kind of thing, and so on.

A good practice to get into is to keep an eye on the in-game news stories; any time a new ship comes out, have a quick read and see if the new ship does anything unusual. If it doesn't, great - existing practices will probably work against it - and if it does (hybrids, such as Tone/Ise, and the Dutch most recently with their air strikes), spend a few minutes understanding the essence of what they can do, and if you need to worry about it. Don't take WG's write-ups as gospel though; get confirmation elsewhere (here for instance).

You can, Europizza, just don't go to it.  However, then, we'd be deprived of your mirth & good advice.

Seriously now, enlarge your mini map with the (+) key. It has vital information.
