[I-B-S] The_Angry_Admiral Players 1,173 posts Report post #1 Posted December 21, 2021 What are some of the most frustrating moments for in during a battle? I have to say mine is with the Massachusetts. I have a love/hate relationship with this ship because sometimes it really delivers and other times it just makes you go WTF. I was just in a battle where an IZUMO was giving me broadside almost the entire time and this is when this ship decides to spray it's salvos in every direction but straight across. This ship really needs the Aiming Systems Mod but unfortunately it doesn't have it. Makes me want to pull my hair out at times. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still prefer the gunnery to French shotguns personally. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This ship really needs the Aiming Systems Mod but unfortunately it doesn't have it. Let me guess: spotter plane + salvo from 20 km. And no FP Massachusetts is supposed to be played from mid range: it has very good survivability. Secondary build is a viable option. The downside is the bad sigma and meh dispersion. The ship with the best dispersion/sigma from that line is Georgia: try it if you have it. And you can equip it with "dispersion" module. But it's not an easy ship to play: it requires good positioning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[PEZ] Yedwy Players 11,301 posts 39,586 battles Report post #5 Posted December 21, 2021 The moment when you realise that despite the fact you and maybe one or two other ships on your “teams” weak flank are holding the flank and cap localy against 8 or 9 enemies the rest of your team is getting slaughtered on the other side by the 3 reds one by one and you are about to lose by zeroing out… 12 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[VIBES] tocqueville8 Players 3,717 posts 39,413 battles Report post #10 Posted December 21, 2021 Yesterday I was in the Colbert and the ZF-6 on my flank refused to spot "because the Neustrashimy outspots me" (by what, 200 meters?). Instead, he smoked up and started shooting...at no one, since we had no spotting otherwise. As expected, he even took a torpedo in the face by said Neustrashimy. As a result, we were at the mercy of their BBs, who flanked us for a lot of easy damage. Also this today: We were even on ships, 3-0 on caps and ahead on points, but lower on hp. Of course, I told people (in chat and individually with quick commands) to fall back and play it safe. So naturally: 1) the République, on 6k hp, pushed 2) the Shima went torping a Moskva on the A line, failed, was radared and died 3) the Balao went torping the same Moskva, ran out of battery, was gunned down on sight. He wrote "I ran out of battery", as though his plan was sound and that was unexpected 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SUOLA] arttuperkunas Players 1,963 posts 10,936 battles Report post #13 Posted December 21, 2021 My most frustrating moment in a long time, one that caused me to bang my desk and swear loudly (getting complaints from sleeping wife one floor above me), was yesterday holding a flank alone in my Yamato against 3-4 BBs, occasional potshots from 2 cruisers and an unspotted DD, while our team lemminged to kill the enemy CV. I mean we won the game, yes, I got decent BXP (like 1700), and I guess I contributed by keeping half their surviving team out of the fight for 4-5 minutes, but my God was it frustrating. Like if I had some help, any help, we could stalled that flank and I would have survived. It's kind of like those games where you know your team won because the enemy carrier rode your a$$ all game. A cold comfort, because you still had a miserable experience. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hate the ones that will follow you toward a cap and just when you are about to get there turn around and head off to someplace else after asking you to come with them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[EZKIL] Sir_Sinksalot Players 1,510 posts 8,248 battles Report post #19 Posted December 21, 2021 Mission - Get 64 "Spotted" achievements with a DD. 6 of 7 consecutive battles played featured a CV who instantly spots the entire enemy team at the start. "Son of b****!!" Mission - Get 12 "Capture or Assisted Capture" achievements. Battle after battle featuring maps that basically have no realistic cap options whatsoever. That, and when finally a map featuring a few cap options comes along the entire enemy bot team decides to focus the one I go to and I still end up with none. WHY?!!!!

Besides making a mistake that caused you to not being able to do anything about it. That and the things I read on the forum on a daily basis. It is both hilarious and sad. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
