Whats your most WTF moment you ever had?

[Mister_Greek]

 

So another day,another Jack on the rocks,another day where i sign autographs for fans of mine i oneshotted (Bless you kind gentlemen).

 

 

WARNING: The next situation gets kinda confusing but i will try to explain as best as i can.

 

 

I was in a battle the other day with my Kongo ,as usual, in a tier 7 match.The enemy had 9 players in 3 different platoons.All of these players went to the left side of the map (The Two Brothers map).

 

Unsurprisingly,within less than 10 minutes,my whole team got evaporated witrh only 6 kills,shared between me,a Cleve and an Independence.As we were heading back to defend the cap (we were in the other side of the rock),i saw the last friendly ship of that side getting obliterated by an enemy Aoba.

 

Suddenly an enemy Minekaze released his torps on his friendly Aoba,detonating him and typing in public chat "Report the kill stealer". The Minekaze though hadnt realised something...

 

The Aoba was teamed up with a Fuso and another Aoba (1st enemy platoon)! They immediatelly started firing in the afforementioned Minekaze.The Minekaze got obliterated but PLOT TWIST,the Minekaze was teamed up with a Cleve and a Furutaka (2nd enemy platoon),who immediately started returning fire to the Fuso.The Aoba released his torps missing  the Cleve but PLOT TWIST,it hit a passing Kongo of the  3rd enemy platoon! The Kongo got mad and start speaking profanities in public chat,accusing the two "friendly" platoons of TK.

 

As it wasnt enough complicated already,the enemy Kongo got in a close quarter fight with his friendly Fuso while his teammate in the Gremyaschi decided it was time to start torping...But no,the Cleveland on his team had another idea which was to burn him to death.After killing the Gremy,the Cleve starting firing on the Kongo.The torps of the Gremy though sank the Aoba

 

Lets take a break from the action and analyze how many people we have in this situation: 1st platoon: 3 people              2nd platoon: 3 people              3rd platoon: 2 people?

 

-Wait something is not right here,we have 8 here...Where is the last one,the friend of Kongo and Gremy?

 

Now,remember that this is a Tier 7 match.Whats the Tier 7 then?    Come on you know the answer already,come on,you can smell it from afar!

 

Yep,a tier 7 IJN HIryu! With a full TB/DB setup!

 

The Hiryu was so maad about the loss of his friend that he released his whole bomber squadrons heading to their location,completely ignoring me and the Independence,who stood staring their screens in complete amazement at what were just witnessing,and went on to torp EVERYONE in the vicinity,spitting poison in the public chat (i even saw the word "Blyat"). In mere seconds,the whole enemy team got torped to death except the Kongo,who was killed from flooding i guess.  (he received a torp too)

 

The situation above happened in less than 2 and a half minutes,with the Hiryu later torping himself.The match was almost lost,2 vs 9.

 

I was so shocked by what i just witnessed that i totally forgot to take a screenshot.....No to mention that being an absolute idiot,i didnt know yet how to enable replays.And i am sad about it,this could have ended to Jingles epic fails

 

Chat was filled with people ROFLING and "Go back to wot monkey killstealers" type of things.

 

The afformentioned situation was happening about 9-10 km from us with the enemy completely ignoring us

 

Oh World of Warships,you are so amazingly silly

 

 

EDIT: Seems that the story is getting quite popular on the RU forum.http://forum.worldofwarships.ru/index.php?/topic/25488-

            Thanks Erhabend and Russia

 

 

[nikos13ole]

Do you have replay of that situation?? 

i am pretty sure it would be a great comedic video in youtube either by jingles or someone else

[YukiEiriKun]

Please say that you have replays enabled because that would be a goon one to send for Jigles os some other YouTuber. And share with us naturally.

 

[TKFF]

Oh man and I thought that I've seen some strange things since the start of Open Beta...

[RUMIRUMI]

When i read posts like this i'm seriously worried about the IQ of the players involved in the teamkilling 

 

You should enable replays though, it will cost you less than 5 minutes to activate and you can watch al the great and WTF moments again.

[OldGrandad]

@Mister_Greek, as you do not have replays enabled (a sin in itself!) can you recall any of your team mates names? Would be worth a pot of gold for a replay of that battle!

Nope,it was a week or so ago (maybe more),i was a complete idiot not to enable the replays,that would be worth an entire free Premium ship

[OlFson]

 

too sad there is no replay, funny story.

[DtXpwnz]

Every time when you have a good game, couple of kills, confederate, high caliber medals and crapload of dmg done, enemy has only 3 ships left, we have still 6 ships. Since the game is secured, you go in like a Rambo trying to do some fancy maneuvering, only to get blown up and then you are watching your "teammates" = enemy collaborators fail miserably and throw the game away.

[Mister_Greek]

Oh, one question i forgot,is it even possible to teamkill more than two guys and get away with it?

 

I heard a while ago that when you teamkill a friendly you receive dmg too,but that hadnt happened in this case...

[xCaptainObviousx]

Ah, my biggest WTF moment.

 

Picture this:

You have been lucky enough to receive an invite code to the first ever weekend test of WoWs, waited patiently for weeks, pre-downloaded the client the minute it became available and the servers FINALLY open at 17:40 Friday evening (scheduled for 18:00, but I guess WG couldn't contain themselves either).

You enter the port and give the wonky looking tier 1 cruisers a quick look before browsing through the tech tree to decide what to go for. IJN DDs.

Cue pressing the battle button to enter a coop battle in my bone stock Katori and waiting for the other 48 players currently online to do the same. After a surprisingly short wait I load in on the North map with a neat fleet of 6 Katoris and 6 Eries by my side.

 

"Siema PL?"

 

"That's not the greeting I was expecting, but he's got the right to be here too" I thought

 

"SIEMA PL?!!!"

 

By now I realize that this greeting wasn't directed at us, but at the enemy team... the enemy team consisting entirely of AI ships.

 

"SIEMA PL?????!!!!!"

 

Maybe someone should inform him that they won't be respondi... *Kaboom!* 

Why am I getting hit? There are no enemy ships in sight and there is no way they could have made their way here in just 20 sec. The answer came soon enough: It's the Polish guy.

 

Apparently he got so frustrated because the enemy didn't respond to his greeting that he decided that all of us must be anti-polish assholes and had to be punished. Since we had spawned a bit away from the rest of the team, my un-willingness to do team damage, and the fact that none of us had ever played before he managed to sink me before turning on the rest of my team. 

After sinking 2 more teammates (most of us were afraid of any oversensitive anti-TK system) he's finally put down and left us with a cryptic "FUCKNOOB BAD GAM PLAY RUDE!"

 

So there we have it: My first game in WoWs ended 5 minutes after the servers started by being teamkilled by an angry pole. 

 

 

 That said, I have nothing against Polish people but this guy just had to do his best to reinforce the online stereotype 

 

[Bul6basch]

 

 Great story!!! 

 

[Frosty]

Biggest wtf ever? Around the end of closed beta I've hit Cleveland with full 10 torp salv  from my fletcher...  All did hit, First three did dmg... He survived... I didn't...

[killer999death]

A catapult fighter shot down my whole squad of fighters because my planes just froze in the air and did nothing.

Greatest WTF? moment I had was in CBT.

 

I had worked my way through the IJN BB tree up to the Nagato. Nice ship. Much stronk! I felt so invulnerable, that I decided not to dodge that single torpedo the sinking DD managed to get in my way.

"Ah well, only one torpedo against a full HP BB - what could happen..." - BOOM! Blubbblubb... - "W...T....F....!"

Yeah, you guessed right - the torpedo hit me at the bow, right where the first gun turret is positioned. And of course it was a critical citadell & ammorack... from 100% HP to 0% in a mere second...

 

Apart from that, there were a few strange things happening.. couple weird... many "why did he do that???" or "why did I do that???" but not that many wtf moments

[Magni56]

Well, the biggest one I had was playing the Muzuki in a T6 game on Ocean. About halfway into the match I had done the normal IJN ninja torp stalker routine for a while and murdered a BB so far. Even better, I had found a gap in the enemy team and moved into their rear. 15km away from their nearest cruiser, I spy... the Independence. Jackpot! With a happy smile on my face, I beeline for him. I start shooting him up with HE upon getting within ~5.8km and activate my AA guns. The typical routine of panicking CV being chased by a tincan evading planes ensues and t doesn't look good for our poor carrier in his stock ship. Half his health has burned down and I've not suffered even a scratch. Someone on his team has finally reacted, but it's too late. I'm overhaulign him o his starboard side a mere 2km away and am turning to launch the torps...

 

And then my ship explodes and I get awarded the Detonation "achievement". What hit my ammo stores? Why, the single 5in secondary gun on the Independence's stern.

 

I seriously couldn't get mad about that. It was just too absurd. IIRC, I told the Indy player that he should play the lottery with that luck of his.

 

Second one was when I found out about arming distance on ship-borne torps. So, I'm in my Kongo on fault Line and decide what the hell, I'm gonna roll into the C point through the narrow channel. So I enter... and a Phoenix from the enemy team enters on the other side. Oops. So, this is kind of a problem. He gets hit hard by my forward turrets and plinks a few shells off me and somehow neither of us goes for the ram. As we find out, a Kongo and a Phoenix can very narrowly pass each other in there without colliding. He drops his torps right into my side and none of them detonate because we're too close, while each one of my secondaries slaps him point blank in turn as he crosses their firing cone.

 

And then the rear turrets blow him out of the water.

[canuckster]

Losing a big race match with their team having only a DD left and our team had about 6-7 ships, I died about 3 minutes before the match ended and was begging them to take the zones.... and did they? LOL

[morti271]

BBs hitting my cruiser for 4 citadels at 20 km.

Makes me think if I want to spend any money oin this game since it just makes clear how ridiculous important RNG is.

 

[mtm78]

Omg out of +1 but that OP deserves one even without a replay.

 

My biggest wtf moment was when I was in a DD capping on Island of Ice and some dude who publicly told on the forums he was 'sick of DD's capping early' and that 'he would just sail straight to them park his cruiser behind them or push him out of his smoke' in order for them to 'stop their stupid play'. I said he shouldn't do that with me.

 

He shouldn't do that with me.. 

[Atris2nd]

My most ridiculous situation? 

 

Two Brothers, I'm in my farragut, it's a tier 7 game. I spawn south side, regular battle, nothing too exciting. The match carries on for awhile, it's all going well, torp a full health Wyoming, snipe the heck out of pensacolas with my peashooter guns.

 

But the battle rages on and in the end, needless details spared, it's down to me and the enemy Cleveland. Now, I'm mostly full hp, Cleveland is somewhere halfway. I go for the cap on the north side and I plop myself at the back of, waiting for the Cleveland to arrive - if he arrives at all. A minute later, I see him approaching from 11km away and I start shifting the little destroyer towards the mountain on the northern side that provides adequate cover. I'm spotted once he's in 7km range, we both open fire - he drops me to 1/3rd of my health after the exchange and some misses on his part(After all, he doesn't need to aim much when he can reload and spray anyhow). I launch torps and I get behind the little island. 

 

He is hit by one, dropping him to 1/3rd health as well. He repairs flooding. Reason I can see this is because one of the catapulted fighters was still in the air and somehow not dead to the Cleveland's AA. He starts approaching and I start up my engines again. I go around the other side, he goes over to my side. And thus the benny hill theme kicks in. We start spinning around the little island for about 3 minutes, doing nothing. I notice him stop however and I figured ''He must be trying to reverse the movement.''. So I stop as well. Catapult fighter either expired or got shot down at last. Chancing it, I fire toprs and then pull back around the other side to fire my second salvo. Cleveland came around the left to eat 2 torpedoes and die after something like 4 minutes of me and him playing on a merry-go-round the island. That island is priceless, hope WG doesn't remove it.

[DarthMurloc]

Meh, good stories always happen to others...

 

My only WTF moment is a story of bad luck. It was Tenryu and it started bad. Can't remember which map was that but it had 3 caps. Me spawned in the middle, lower half. Full speed and soon spotted enemy CR who was hunting our 2 DDs. As he was busy obliterating them I tried to ambush from behind the island. Performed flawlessly, pop out within 4 km and launched 2 torpedo salvos, narrow spread. 3 hits guaranteed. I add some shells to pump my score. half a sec before torps hit that CR is sunk by my team BB.

 

Great.

 

Turned away to find another target. Lone DD spotted outside torp range. No big deal. I'm fast firing CR, he's half health - easy kill. Start spraying him with HE. 40%. 33%. 17%. 5%. Last salvo on the way, he is burning, kill incoming... Bam! Sunk by other CR who spotted that near killed DD.

 

Ookaaayy...

 

Moving along. Oh, heavily injured BB finishing off friendly CR. Lets assist. By the time I get into range BB kills our CR but eats few more shells. I'm still full HP so AP shells + torps + zig zag and kill scored. Right? Wrong. Torps he evaded (WTF alone) AP bounce off (he faced me with his narrow profile) and do minimal damage. Switched to HE to burn sucker down. His HP counts in hundreds, final salvo is about to hit. Enemy BB sunk by DB.

 

Now you got to be kidding me.

 

Ok, team is winning. Enemy carrier left far far away, last one. We are 700+ score, I'm near cap point. Couldn't score a kill so at least I'll have cap assist. Heading toward cap point. match ends when I'm literally 2m away from it.

 

Oh FFS!

[ShockPirat]

I had a near encounter with an enemy Kongo in my Furutaka. In a narrow channel.

He was so close I couldn't torp him and he couldn't depress his guns to hit my hull. He just overpenned my superstructure.

So we just passed each other, exchanging shots without much damage, commented on that in chat, and a minute later I caught him and put 3 torps in his side.

 

 

Had a similar encounter with a South Carolina and a New York, in my Omaha. I passed them both in a narrow channel and just barely torped them. They were just barely in torp arming range. 2 BBs killed by one CL in a minute... Yet in that game my team still lost.

 

Another game in Omaha, on Ocean map... I just sailed a circle around the map and citadeled every single enemy cruiser. They were presenting their broadsides without a care, and best of all they TOTALLY ignored me. Each one took 3-5 salvos before sinking. I ended the game with 17 citadel hits, I think... And 4 of those were scored on a Cleveland

 

Another one with Kongo... I put 2 salvos in Clevelands side and citadeled him on both shots. About 12 km range. I was quite surprised as Cleve's citadels are very small.

[SgtTincan]

New Mexico, dodging a spread of Plane Torps, 1 hit me boat ..err ship and detonated my magazine

[GhostRiderLSOV]

In my stock Aoba, fighting an enemy DD and trying to dodge fire from enemy BBs that got in range. 

 

Had to get in a sub-optimal position, but I did take the DD out.

 

Then, I exploded from full health. My killer didn't get "devastating strike" and I didn't get a "detonation" achievement either. 

 

So, I think both barrages from him and another BB hit me at the exact same second, which well, surprised me.

 

It was a

 

 

moment.

I have had the same happen to me! It's where you stare at the screen with your mouth open, just catching flies.
