So what does our team do? Hipper and Krohnstadt turn into the enemies and open fire on the closest enemy Iowa 15km away, Kitakaze smokes himself to aid. But the Iowa still has like 40k health and our cruisers have a lot less. What happens? Well Iowa of course isn't the only enemy left with the range to shoot at them so Krohnstadt goes down in 10 seconds, saying in chat "I was spotted no matter what" (no you weren't if you hadn't turned into them!) so Hipper is left without backup and goes down too. At the same time one of the enemy BBs snipe the Kitakaze by shooting at the muzzle flashes in the smoke screen so suddenly enemy has 100 points over us and 15 seconds left in the battle. I think one of the enemy players summed it up pretty well in chat just before it ended; "wow.. nice throw"

 

Those are moments. When you realize, half of your team doesnt understand the absolute basics of the game. You know, like points... time...

Well had this 6 Kill defeat in my 2nd game in the New HMS Acasta, ended up alone against 2 CVs... managed to kill 1 that was in the cap and then my only option was to pray that blocking the cap would fix the points deficit as the other CV was most likely at the map border... Lost by 13 points...

- hold two caps and are about to take the third

- everyone starts rushing the enemy team camping in spawn one by one because "MUH DAMAGE"

 

I wonder, how are these people even able to breathe? Because there is no way they have enough working braincells for it.

Pretty much the same deal - we hold A and B, enemy team is out of position on C. Instead of defending, it's hur-durr omg puuuush camperss and they go in one at a time

You would think that ppl would realize that at some point. Probably not because 90% of the players seem to leave the match after they die :cap_hmm:

If you give your team an advantage, they will thank you for it by throwing it away. Thats total madness :cap_fainting:

 

The worst match i ever lost, was 970 points, 11vs7 ships 2 vs 1 caps. I begged them to stop going in 1by1, it didnt help. They just evaporated within 30 secs to the campers, because surprise, they just sailed broadside. They SEE what just happened to the ship infron of them, yet they do it anyway. In the end, even my CV yoloed in, while if he remained hidden, WE STILL WOULD HAVE WON!

To everyone playing ranked:

 

If you are low hp, stop firing and go dark to heal up. Why can't people understand this simple thing that often decides if a match is won or lost.

Or another one: If one ship on 16km is really low and a ship on 10 km full health, focus the low health one. A dead ship cant fight back or heal up.

 

For FFFFFFF sake. Im getting so annoyed by all these potatoes playing ranked. If you dont know how to win, play coop instead.

Sure, you know how to shoot and how to angle, etc. But simply retaining a lead or focusing the right targets seems to much too comprehend for the most of us.

Now I'm certainly no unicum (not by a long shot; just got over 500 randoms, +/-49% WR), but does this count?

Aye, it's been a weird day. There were a couple more like this where I was mostly happy with my performance, and had plenty of fun, but couldn't get the win. I can see how I might have played it differently, but I'm not sure whether any of those options would really have been better. Maybe I was a bit too cautious about the first cap, and maybe it would have made the difference if I'd pushed in more aggressively. Or more likely, it would have got me spanked by an Acasta, a Kirov and a Koeingsberg, and it wouldn't have stopped the BB and CLs on the other side of the map from evaporating, or induced the DDs there to show any interest in capping even before their support died. I don't know, on most losses I'll have usually :etc_swear:ed up obviously enough that I know what I should have done better and am able to give myself a good telling-off and learn from it, but this and a couple like it today were harder to work out.

 

And if we won I think it might have been a new base XP records on Clemson for me :Smile_sad: (I think my current one shows as 1,500 ish, but I had premium time then...)

Decided to grab my "free" ranked loot (went R1 last season, so started at R13) by taking the first ranked match this season on the last possible day. Tjaa, what to say more. Just went for some relaxed Yamato play, not really planning much.

Decided to finally get my first and last game on Varyag before removing her for my primary ships. Good ship, bad team, good sealclubbing, best XP of 2 teams in defeat ... image.thumb.png.a28ab3108c4793b3db157e5096e380f5.png

:cap_old:

Well technically we lost from start, because DDs decided to go to one cap. Managed to talk the Cossack back to C, but then it was too late already.

Hi all,

 

Heartbreaking defeat... what must one do to win... :Smile_sad:

 

Enemy had 2 DDs left against our 2 CAs ("Kutuzov" = 75% HP and "Zao" = 10% HP)... all they had to do was to stay alive and not charge blindly because we were ahead 300 points 2 minutes to end of game with 1:2 in bases... but they charged to take 2nd base despite all advice we gave them (that's the only reason they have XP they have - but it cost us victory)... the end screen is picture our "Kutuzov" needlessly dying from enemy torpedoes... :Smile-angry:

Was close to improve my Moskva damage record. Afterwards thinking, could maybe have done a thing or two differently in the end, but would also help if more than just a handful of people would pull their weights.

 

Either way, I really have started to enjoy Moskva lately.
