collision

[darkt1981]

Please remove ship collision from the game for enemy teams, there are a lot of people just ram killing people because they have no skill to do a real fight, and its annoying for the people that do enjoy the game and yes there doeing this on purpose.

If you get into ramming range of another ship and can't avoid it when the enemy player takes you with him... whose fault is it?

If you see an enemy player heading your way and preparing a ram, you can either try to evade, turn around, reverse or kill him to avoid or at least decrease the potential damage. If you don't manage to do any of this, well, I guess the enemy deserves this extra damage/kill.

 

And I highly doubt that "a lot of people" try to ram kill. It is merely a last resort to do some damage before dying and there are numerous factors that must be met to be able to do it. Like CQC, enough HP left to reach the target, enough speed and maneuvrability to actually hit the target, etc.

So the obvious remedy for the other one is evading the ram or not getting close enough to allow the enemy to ram in the first place.

so even people saying in chat that they just wanna ram people is oke with you guys, whats the skill in that? ramming people in a bb / ca is just another way to show you the biggest noob in the game, otherwish you would go down guns blazing.

First of all: How someone plays and "has fun" is up to oneself as long as it is not against WG's rules. Yes, sometimes it sucks how other people want to play but this is a part of multiplayer online games where 12 random people are supposed to form a team for up to 20 minutes. And if one player decides he wants to go for a ram kill (which won't really award him with anything except for the fact that he might kill another player), let him. And if he declares something like that in the chat... Why do you even bother and join his game instead of taking proper countermeasures?

Second: Whether it needs skill to ram people or not doesn't really matter. All that matters is, if it works for him. And if you got killed by a "noob" with a technique/mechanic that does not require any skill, what does that make you?

This sounds like a stereotypical "Meh, someone killed me and I am not OK with it." thread.

Ramming is a perfectly acceptable tactic if you know your going to die and you can take an equal or more powerful enemy unit with you. If hes dumb enough to let you get that close, then ramming speed it is.

[RUSSIANBlAS]

Avoiding a ram in BB vs BB isn't that hard really...

 

I love using my Kongo as a giant floating bomb if on low hp. 

 

In any BB brawl if you've got far more HP than the opponent then be mindful.

 

I still remember that time I rammed a Nagato in my Cleveland pre armour nerf and killed us both. The guy reported me for cheating

ramming is fun  

[XbodzioXplX]

 

ramming is fun  

 

Of course it is!

Especially at the end when both teams know who is going to win.

"ramming speed" or "ram party" in the chat always makes me smile

[voltaicgrunt]

Will you people please SHUT UP.

 

If BigBaby drivers discover wasd hacks to dodge a ramming, it will only be a couple of years before they realise it works on tinfish too.

[Yaccay]

Ramming is a valid tool for every player.

Enemy BB is two tier higher? You are low on health while enemy has plenty? Go for ramming and you can take out most of the situation.

On the other hand the other player also should (!) aware of ramming and act accordingly.

Ramming is not easy when you are in a slow ship (Colorado for example), the enemy will just evade you.

Also some BBs (for example Tirpitz) will send 3 torps in your side if you go too close.

 

So ramming has counters too. Every player should aware of these options and everything will be fine.

 

[dCK_Ad_Hominem]

Well. Steering my Izumo into a t10 BB and shooting other targets into oblivion works quite well. Yet I only resort to this if the BB knows what he is doing and a regular fight would either not be feasible or delay a push on the enemy's weak flank too long.

 

The op should however not complain if he gets caught out of position. In over 1k games I was rammed against my will a total of about 3 times. Man up.

[bushwacker001]

Picture the scene.....late in the battle, my team - me in a 15% health Bayern along with an Omaha up against a 70% ish Nagato and a CV. The clock not in our favour and my Bayern not doing much damage on the Nagato........The Nagato, for some strange reason appeared to be setting up for a ram even though he should have killed me in the next barage, so obviously I decided to not avoid it.

We both die so I typed "why did you ram me Nagato you have lost the battle now" as our Omaha went on to burn the CV to death.

The reply came back "Noob, I killed you easy"

Ramming, for me, is a decision made 'on the spot' and as a last resort.

 

The very few times I have used the tactic (and yes, it IS a tactic) I have had few if any options.

 

Usually the scene is:

I have strayed too far from the main force (not checking the minimap as often as I should/tunnel vision) , I am by myself

I am surrounded/outgunned

I have low health

I find myself getting into one of those 'oh so realistic' circling gunfights with a superior boat.

Basically I am in a situation where I am going to get deleted, like it or not

The overpowering opponent boat is in a position where if I can just stay alive for another ten seconds I can take him with me.

 

It is a legitimate move, it is NOT a cheat or WG would not include it in the game. I have never seen anyone use it as a planned move. ie; they have said from the start that is what they intend to do.

 

[MeTaLMooSe]

I agree. Ramming is a last ditch kamikaze attempt when you know you are going to die.

Trading your fading about to die ship for a bigger threat to your team is a valid strategy.

[Loran_Battle]

Last night in my team an enemy Amagi at 5k hp rammed our full HP Yamato. You could see it happening 2 minutes beforehand. And I have to applaud that Amagi player. Taking out that Yamato was the best way to get some extra damage in and the Yamato died soon after by flooding. It was quite hilarious to see.

 

Ramming is a valid tactic. For example in a situation where we were with 2 BBs in division as the last ones alive with about 5-10k hp left and no heals and an enemy BB pops up behind me at over half hp angled and all... (from behind an island we were circling at really close range). I started reversing and I think the guy didn't really notice (he was tunnelvisioned on my division mate that was showing a bit of broadside). He ran into me reversing and we won the game. If I hadn't done that I don't think we could've killed him.
