[LADA] Gvozdika [LADA] Players 975 posts 10,423 battles Report post #1 Posted December 24, 2021 I bring to you an important issue and DEMAND answers that I shall totally not spend the rest of the thread arguing the toss over every response I don't agree with. This is a follow-on to the highly successful 'Should I play Ranked while Roaring Drunk' Thread. That didn't work all that well so I've got a new idea. My Labrador is rather clever. He can open doors. He can work out what time it is (feeding time, walkies time, wake up human time. He also appears to have some basic paw/eye coordination. I thus deem him to be equal to most players in randoms. Certainly better than some I come across. He can even read - but not English admittedly. He understands English words/commands but refuses to respond to them so possibly he's French. Now, early experimentation playing a few random battles has been mixed. He was VERY interested in moving the mouse around with his nose and indeed the left button was clicked a few times - but the accuracy in that particular battle was a bit...erm....wayward. No worse than @Vasilek and his 'American Air Support' gunnery; but alas, could be better. I'm thinking torpedoes could be a better bet - only need to aim left and right with those. Tomorrow if you see a Benham twirling around in circles sending torpedoes everywhere you know what is behind it. So I put it to the EU Forum massif - what ships are best to train a Labrador to operate in WOWS? I should very much be interested in your responses and universal wisdom. Woof. Woof. Oh yes, doggy also asks if RNG means his ship gets hit more often when he is turning. Told you he was jolly smart! 29 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[AMOC] NewHorizons_1 [AMOC] Players 3,860 posts 46,919 battles Report post #5 Posted December 24, 2021 Well cats seem to be able to identify a torpedo threat, so a dog controlling a ship ... who knows?!

[COOOP] Shirakami_Kon Players 2,624 posts 12,776 battles Report post #6 Posted December 25, 2021 If tier 5 mattered for basically anything I'd suggest a Kamikaze or whatever of it's variants you may have at hand. Hard to spot, tiny to hit. Considering that you say our good body here manages above average WASD than the community that could make him a nightmare to hit for your enemies. And the fast torpedo reload would keep torps to throw away whenever he gets to click. Hope it helps. I wish the best of luck to him and please give him a well deserved pat from me.

[MORIA] Johnny_Moneto Beta Tester 2,903 posts 22,225 battles Report post #8 Posted December 25, 2021 Minotaur. Plenty of torpedoes, the turrets traverse fast and guns fire frequently so your dog might hit something eventually. Erratic manoeuvring might just be the right thing to do to establish her as an open water gun boat. Make sure your dog learns how to report own team. Slight disappointment: you did not tell us the name of your dog. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you've given me a few ideas. Secondary-build German BBs might make for a good choice if we cannot get the whole 'aiming and operating a keyboard without opposable thumbs' hurdle sorted. 2 hours ago, biker_618 said: @Gvozdika The same dog who hit you with violin? OK, he did a bad thing but this punishment is too harsh ... No - it was a different dog I think - one of those imaginary figments that keep pestering you when you're trying to have a good sleep. My actual real dog cannot play a Violin - he's not THAT smart. Mouth organ...we're getting there. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
