Game after game the enemy keeps running away. So many wins simply because the enemy is too scared to take dmg. Why do these plebs even play this game?

Because they want to give you something to jerk off to each night?

What I've already noticed in WoT: Many view the game as some economy simulator where the highest mission is to maximize credit gains and to minimize losses. If the choice is between tanking damage to win the game and lose the game alive by hunkering down in the back, many choose the latter.

Not sure that's a valid strategy in WoWs, many times I've been in battles where we don't cap and go chase/farm the corner squatters "if" the win is in the bag.

You're right, I am a horrible person to have people that wish to division with me. What shall I do?

Agree. I don't mind people trying to do some "strategy" instead of yolo dying but sailing at the edge of the map behind allies is just simply bad. And mostly it's battleships because they don't want to pay for repairs or whatever.

There are no real repair bills on tier V.

Yesterday, on Two Brothers, Tirpitz, Amagi, Colorado, Atago run before three ships of lower tiers. I was leading that attack in... New Mexico. After few minutes we were almost at their base, when they stopped running and started fighting. We were ofc anninhilated in less than minute. Sometimes it gets weird like this.

meh just shoot me then because I will probably be the lone sucker that takes the fight to the enemy and look behind me to find rest of my team in a1 square of the map

I have found that when I play bb now even dd will hide behind me which I don't mind too much if they go and take the fight to enemy once I'm getting shot at but for some crazy reason they don't


 

get into a 3 man platoon and you find the gameplay alters a lot

This is extremely frustrating in my New York. I don't care if I get sunk if the battle is already won or lost, I will actively seek a battle out if I have some HP to spare but so many BBs don't seem interested and I just can't run them down.

 

I'm far from the greatest player, but I play a battleship because I want to slug it out. I don't understand why people play battleships if they're so afraid of fighting.

Unfortunately they do end up on your team. I watched a division of two Fusos and an Aoba run away while I fought a Cleveland, Omaha and Kirov with just my 3 aft turrets. The battle was lost as only 3 or 4 of us tried to push the caps, but you'd have thought that a 54100 HP Fuso and his 51000 HP division mate would've fought at some point.

Full repair cost for the losing team, maybe they would at least try to win.

WG should implement mechanism putting limit to max range of IJN BB guns untill player has reached certain damage rate and winrate in BB in Co-op.

They could call it as some "Gunnery Training"

That would force those Balless&Brainless cowards to follow cruisers at least some distance,or god forbid, someone might actually grow some balls and learn to play BB.

If they dont want any repair cost, I think the best way for them is to quit the game and uninstall it.

Do you still care? After one year of playing, seeing no solutions, now I play differently. If I realize I have a team of mongoloids I try to get the best from MY game. I pick a single fight, obviously if I can, and try to learn the best I can.

Hmmm I must have fought a lot of battles against you. Cause those are usually on my team. I'm in most of the cases on or very near the main frontline because I like the melee. And in most of the cases finding myself alone and being focussed to the sea floor. Main pattern is usually BB's camping behind, patrolling left and right while shooting in extreme range, cruisers who go off fullspeed ahead in their solo suicide cruises and DD's frantically trying to cap that 1 enemy infested cap, getting inevetably killed in the process.

Normally i can ignore this but last weekend i flipped out and got pink.

No alcohol.

Pure, solid, logical frustration about being forced to camp with tomatoes on the border in a domination game.

 

Will i get problems for getting pinkyboy too often or can i let it all out ? :D

There seems to be a new hack with target markers. As soon as a ship fires the shells you will see the markers on the water were the shells will drop.

This way players got plenty of time to stear away from the point the shells will hit the water.

I have to admitt i found it pretty hard last days to hit ships and i can aim pretty well.

Game is going to hell with all this injectable aim hacks etc etc.

At the higher tiers, it is mostly just about running after fleeing enemies, or being the only one who dares to move forward and die horribly as the rest of your team flees at the very sight of an enemy ship.

 

It is fascinating to me that someone actually plays a war game where all they do is trying to not get into the battles...

I've not seen this but it should be possible as you're receiving data on all the shells flying about so that your computer can render them.
