[BOATY] The_Chiv Players 1,592 posts 18,060 battles Report post #1 Posted May 20, 2022 No matter how much we would like to think our community is above pettiness the truth is some people are more incline to be spiteful when they die to a ship they think is broken. So, I thought I would ask the forums which ships you have gotten reported for playing well in, note when I say well, I mean having a base xp that places you at the top 3 of your team (yes, I know DDs that is somewhat unfair as WG gives you squat for spotting and or providing smoke for your team) ... Below are the ships I have experienced this pettiness in, pls add your own experiences and or comment you rationalization for reporting people who play these ships well, yes, I know this has the potential to spiral but only looking at one side of something never gives you a full picture. Below are the ships I have myself noticed getting reported in while playing. I would again ask for others to contribute their experiences in other ships. 1.SMOLENSK Let's be honest this ship is the bane of most ships in general having the ability to rain 16 130mm shells of HE pain on targets trying to push a cap is rather annoying to say the least. The fact that in this ship I have ben able to get over 300k 10 times speaks to the ease of use. 2.STALINGRAD Russian bias in full effect. 305mm shells with the pen of t8 406mm that shoot like rail guns. Add in some Radar, some decent angled front armor and you have a Tick that once dug in is extremely annoying dislodge 3. F.SHERMAN 3 127mm guns, 1.5 second reload, SAP, USN flight arcs, 15.1km range, 3 USN smokes, Hydro, and a relatively decent AA. To say this ship makes people mad is an understatement. It can farm any class of ship in range, and can make any enemy dd's life a living nightmare. 4. CONQUEROR The one universal truth in this game is people tend to get rather annoyed when it comes to HE shells. Conqueror use to be even worse then it is today, but even though it is nerfed it can still catch the ire of many a bow in ship due to the fact that much of its armor is useless to prevent HE Shells from the conqueror from causing damage. Throw in a 48% fire chance, 12 guns, and a 26.4 second reload and you can easily see why this ship is hated. 5.VENEZIA 15 203mm guns that have SAP instead of HE shells. The fact this ship can and has one salvo'd a t10 dd makes this thing a massive threat to any team looking to win. It is one of the most agile t10 cruisers in the game having a turning circle of 760 which makes it near as agile as a minotaur, but with an armor icebreaker that can deflect 460mm shells. Toss in a legendary captain and you get a ship that can dish out pain that gets stronger the longer it plays, dodge most incoming fire, and can easily disengage using its exhaust smoke when things get too hairy. So those are the 5 ships I have experience Petty Reporting regularly in. I would also like to point out I have also gotten positive karma in all the above listed ships and it is again only a small minority of players who seem to lash out at others. Now I ask for you to share which ships have you ever experienced such things or which ships have you reported simply because you felt they were broken. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[YEET] COPlUM Players 3,009 posts 12,083 battles Report post #2 Posted May 20, 2022 Petro and Thunderer also get you reported. I don't think it's deserved for petro, petro is a one-trick pony, it can tank bow-in and you can't show side to it. For Thunderer it's deserved, that ship is so cracked I've seen under 40WR players do 300K in them, just spamming HE from the J-line, someone ran the math on Thunderer once, you have a greater than 50% chance to get 3 fires *per salvo* Thunderer needs to shoot you twice with HE to kill you, the first salvo is a double or triple fire, you damagecon that, the second salvo is a double or triple fire, you burn for a minute, you dead. Combination of 2X Thunderer with rangemod and 1X CV for spotting is probably the most toxic thing I have ever seen in this game, that combo can kill people in their spawn, while they are spawning.

On topic, I rarely find that I get reported in any ship, then again I don't pay much attention. Occasionally I might get reported in CV or something, always someone with an itchy report finger and you're easy to blame for their woes. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[R7S] lovelacebeer Players 4,158 posts 25,223 battles Report post #10 Posted May 20, 2022 I have never noticed any specific ship I play gets regularly reported. I have heard of people reporting the Kamikaze sisters or Belfast on sight but I haven’t experienced it myself. I just usually get reported for either not playing the way someone else thinks I should, or more often when I sink someone who’s particularly sensitive. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[MBSSX] OldschoolGaming_YouTube Beta Tester 3,274 posts 16,879 battles Report post #12 Posted May 20, 2022 Never reported any of the above-mentioned ships or even subs since there is counters to them all (good or bad), I use up all my daily reports for the CVs until my reports run out. Besides being broken and OP they take out everything that could be fun in this game which is making different plays and tactics, flanking around, making a surprise push or a surprise attack, CVs ruin it all so now this game gone from almost being a Chess-like thinking man's action/tactic game its so dumbed down that its like old PC game Lemmings with no thinking, no tactics, no skill. Just clueless lemming going in a conga line until they get blapped. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[-TPF-] invicta2012 Players 6,382 posts 26,855 battles Report post #13 Posted May 20, 2022 Smolensk, Thunderer seem to be the ones which attract most aggro. And they deserve it, of course. The anger is particularly spicy with those ones as you don't have to "earn" them by completing Tech Tree lines, and any old persistent donkey (like me) can have them and play them *all the time* and make everyone cross by being constantly on fire.

It's not "pettiness" but frustration at having to play against ships that WG knows are broken and should not be in the match. That and quitting early to play some other game are the only options available to players who would prefer a better playing atmosphere. Unfortunately some players insist on playing ships that degrade the playing atmosphere.... I generally report subs and CVs on sight, along with all the broken Russian cheatbotes. I sometimes report Kitis since they are broken and WG has done nothing. Since I have stopped playing T10 the number of my reports has greatly expanded...

Even on something like an Omaha, because whatever you are, you'll tickle someone in a funny way and you'll get reported. Because obvious hacks of course.

Stalingrad can still citadel t10 bb's and due to its flat trajectory and muzzle velocity can easily punish any CA trying turn away to disengage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
