to watch and help after death

[Tugnut]

Well most of the time i try help point out targets and what ever i see to players... but one game felt like burning my eyes out with a hot poker. Phonex now his torps have 5.5 k range but spent the game firing them at the enemy.... shame most of the enemy was 15 plus k away. Tried pointing out the error of his ways a few times but nothing from him.  Maybe not a native english speaker or just a tunnel vision player.... but omg was horrid to watch how bad they played.. he survived the game and was shooting moving for all of it.... but he got a massive 47xp for his efforts!

 

Some times i think is it worth playing this game lol

Been saying this a lot lately " Cruisers with 5.5km torpedo range / enemy 10+km away". These new players (shame on you if your not) don't seem to have noticed the box on the main screen that gives you all the info on torpedo range. It's happening in almost every battle now - you need eye's in the back of your head with these players around.

As I play CA from both nations before battle I always check ship range, torps (if any) and AA just so I can adapt to that ship gamestyle. Call me idjot but I found this only sure method. I as you OP, try to point that out when I see a player make a mistake, not in a negative way, more like : "Hey (random name), you do know your range on your torps/guns etc. ?". So as long that suggestion is welcome I will give it, but some people are beyond helping.

Since OBT I see the new player who spam the torpedos at the 1st min. They cant hit an enemy, but they dont know it (I think). Just stupid moves and try to do impossible thinks.  But they are good team dmg dealer. 

 

But my favorite are the new CV Players. The battle starts and they dont moving. Or they move  a few meters and camp at the end of the map. After 3 mins they are dead, cause the other CV was killed him with his torpedos. Maybe they start crying, cause f*ck counters, re*ard, ... and I only think "wtf you f*cking noob, you are NOT in WoT -.-" Its so stupid, cause the cant avoid torpedos, if they are stand still. 

 

But this OBT. We cant change this. I missing the good old alpha battles... 

 

 

sry bad english today 

[MAD_3R_Marauder]

Agree, see this all the time (from DDs too, especially the US ones - Wickes launching torps at targets 10+km away, preferably when he is behind me or other friendly ships)

 

[BrusilovX]

I've seen players fire off torpedoes very early in the battle as well.  I did ask one player why they did that and another player stated that 'torpedoes can spot'.   While that does not sound plausible can anyone confirm that?

 

It's not just torpedoes fired at targets beyond their range it's also main guns and not just at the start of the battle either.

[Kais_S012]

you see it in PvE just as much Id say you can forgive them its usually the first time theyve used Torps but I cant... anyone with half a brain checks the Torp range before they jump into the first battle. DD players using battleships as cover or hanging back 2+ KM behind them and before launching 4.5km range torpedoes at ships 10+ km away and just causing trouble for the 1st and 2nd lines. even when I'm still alive I'll remind them what their ranges are and they keep doing it

Me: XXX, your torpedoes are not reaching your target you need to get within 7km to fire

XXX: Nope

Me: forget that, your torps are not even upgraded, their range is 4.5km, your ship wont get spotted until you are about 6km away you can afford to move closer

XXX: STFU im helping the team

Me:... (was sank at this time by one of his torpedoes damaging my rudder and finished off by Ai Tenryu's cannons)
Me: the team has been shouting at you to stop firing torps from behind the BB line for the past 10 minutes... you are not helping you are hindering

XXX: nope

its like talking to brick wall

[nikos13ole]

i had a similar case with 2 tenryus on my team firing torps at enemies that were 12 - 10 km's away 

 

i said politely that they have 7km range max the first guy said thx the second guy decided to launch torps in front of me ending up torping me instead of the enemy  

sooo yeah certain players are Geniuses some listen others think that we are the hard core elitists if we point out certain stuff so the ingore you

 

i am going to talk about people dying to the same guy who has torps cause they dont pay attetion to minimap or teams compotitions of ships  

and ofc as mentioned people dont do the research by looking at other ships or there own ship about the general stats they unlock it and they just rush to battles

I have been seeing these drooling dweebs more and more these day, spamming torps from behind my DD. I think they're trying to kill me, because they certainly can't be trying to kill the enemy at that range.

ymtw.

[allex27]

i played a match where a cruiser  totaly ignored  an enemy carrier on 7 km from his [edited]to shoot at 14 kms battleship , offcourse that carrier capped and nuked his ship a few times with torpedoes, also i tried  to tell him to kill carrier  but  he ignored him   maybe battleship was  a better juicy target and a stupid loose because of that

They don't need any visible enemy because they have own team players to shoot at...

That's why they also stay farther away from enemy than rest of the team.

Otherwise might accidentally shoot the enemy instead of own team player.

Shooting guns only makes ship visible to enemies from farther away than normal detectability radius.

And "dumbfiring" torps blindly increases only probability of defeat by team damage/kills and evasion maneuvers taking away team's concentration from enemy.

I fear friendly torps more than the enemy torps..

[OccamsChainsaw1]

Yeah, I get torped by a friendly CA or DD and taken down to 10%, but if I were to sink him in response, SOMEHOW, I would be the bad guy,

Why wouldn't you? Sure, he's a horrible and ignorant player for not being more careful with his torpedoes. You, on the other hand, are intentionally killing a team member. That is in no way helpful to the team. Repair your ship, get out of harms way (get as far away from said noob as soon as you can), and help your team in taking out the red team.

[Arakus]

Yep, sometimes its funny when the first enemy sunk in the first 1-2 minutes when nobody from our team has even seen an enemy!

[SomeoneYouKnow2]

Just about every game has it's facepalm moments if you just look around at what other people are doing, whether it's your team or the enemy. It's just the way it is. I've learned to accept it so it doesn't really bother me anymore. Plus who here can claim to never have made a mistake?
