[POND] Horin728 Players 559 posts 7,130 battles Report post #1 Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) So.. How to deal with a MM like this? I mean you cn use islands as cover but really there is no way you can stay in range of any of the oposing ships... From looking at the line waiting to get in game there are about 90 BBs, 15 cruisers and one or two DDs and CV... How can we stop the Tirpitz plague?

[POND] Horin728 Players 559 posts 7,130 battles Report post #4 Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) I don't have a problem with Tirpitz per say, just with the amount of people playing it... There should be a cap for BBs as it is for CVs... Edited September 6, 2015 by Horin728 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DumbleDerp Beta Tester 659 posts Report post #5 Posted September 6, 2015 So.. How to deal with a MM like this? I find gently weeping into a pint of ale helps. Other than that, do what you can, and try and keep your dmg and xp per battle up. Have to admit, my win/loss has taken a hit from the Tirpitz derpers as of late.

[SVX] gbgroger Beta Tester 438 posts 23,955 battles Report post #6 Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) Just had a round in my ibuki where we had 4 bbs, all tirpitz. Average xp for these was about 500 and they had played about 200 rounds each. Average tier for these was 3-4. Enemy team had 2 tirptiz but also 2 NC. Guess which side you had effective BB support? Im sooo tired of seeing tirpitz players staying at 19km range, running into islands and generally not knowing a lot about anything game related (like tactics, ohhh we should all go to the same side etc and they dont seem keen on learning). Premium ships needs capping in numbers, max 2 per round. That way it wont hamper good gameplay for us others who have about 3-4000 rounds total (incl. CBT).

I am not even playing the game now, Trollpitz plague is extremely annoying. Games with 7 tirpitzes per side are nothing extraordinary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeneralRushHour Beta Tester 369 posts 1,516 battles Report post #10 Posted September 6, 2015 I want them back as well, just don´t see how anything will change in the near future. Maybe when these people start getting the Tier 8-9 battleship they will leave the Tirpitz in the port but we´ll see. It´s just a really REALLY good ship in the right hands.

[ST-EU] Admiral_noodle Supertest Coordinator 6,337 posts 4,395 battles Report post #11 Posted September 6, 2015 I'm seeing fewer tirpitzes now. Maybe three per game at tier 8 and one of them is me.

It's like a joke, because all you can do is chip away at their HP from max range and hope to hide before retaliation.. Thing is I've found the "chipping" can be 7k per salvo without citadels. Consistent damage rather than bounces so Tirpitz is hardly invulnerable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly... it is neither terribly good nor terribly bad. So when choosing a decent angle of attack and dropping the torpedoes from a bit larger distance, you can get some nice hits without losing more than one, maybe two planes of a IJN squad.. Of course that might also be a result of the many potatoes driving around in Tirpizzas, who probably never heard of strg-leftclicking on enemy bomber squads Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[FILO] Pete_SB Beta Tester 335 posts 4,017 battles Report post #18 Posted September 6, 2015 Biggest problem with the Tirpitz is that inexperienced players can buy into tier 8 again, just like the Lowe. I've seen these ships firing torps at 15km, chasing carriers, ignoring caps and all the other things that contributes to a win. Unlike a t8 premium tank, in wows, people need to plan ahead a lot more. I got the Sims but didn't play it till I worked up to the Farragut Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LetsRockAndRoll Players 720 posts 9,732 battles Report post #24 Posted September 7, 2015 If you take into account the number of players currently in WoW Tirpitz is probably one of the most successful premium packages ever. Make no mistake here, WG is a business & this game sinks or swims depending upon its money making possibilities. So don't curse the hordes of Tirpitz players, salute them. They have probably guaranteed the future of this game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
