albinbino Players 662 posts 11,080 battles Report post #7 Posted January 15, 2017 I play all classes, last 4 months mainly cruisers, since they are challenging to play. But when i take out some of my BBs into the battle, immediately i feel my IQ drops for about 30 points. Joking aside, some players are just scared, and very weak to read the game and never figure out how to play certain maps. Well there is reason why those choose ships with huge armour, lots of HP and cannot be killed with one shot. Those ships are BBs. When i play BB, it is mainly Izumo. Why Izumo, because for long time many people were saying this ships sucks, even one popular streamer said so, but for me this is amazing ship. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was in a game earlier this morning in my Colorado. I went one way, with 3 cruisers and another battleship. 1 DD from the other team turned up, just one. The 3 cruisers promptly turned and ran without firing a shot. Scared off by a single DD. They continued all the way to the other side of the map. Happens just as often. So lets cut this crap that its just BB players that run or hide shall we. If you cruisers dont stay with me when I push, then why should I even bother in the first place. This issue is never going to be resolved in random battles. Within 2 minutes of starting you will know where you stand. You do your best, thats all you can do. Complaining about it on this forum is never going to do any good. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How are DDs supposed to spot when there are CAs like the Chapayev that can radar you and kill you outright. When you see a DD or a CA going forward and clues suggest he's not just banzai charging, stay with him and he'll spot for you, simple as that. Back in topic, tonight I've lost a game because of an enemy camper. He waited unspotted in a corner of the map until we were down to 2 ships each side, then he retook two caps and, as he was a full health BB, I couldn't neither stop nor kill him in time. That must be the first and only specimen of cunning camper (celatus astutissimus) I've got to see. The next one was a common camper (celatus stultus), a Bissy who cowered behind an island when his support could have made the difference, only to get out of his hole and bayonet charge the whole enemy team a while later.

Cosseria Players 1,064 posts 4,944 battles Report post #18 Posted January 15, 2017 are you agreeing or desagreeing with me? I'm partly disagreeing. Of course you're not supposed to lead the way in a BB (unless WG ask you to do so with some silly missions), but DDs can't go safely forward without some support close by. Too many times we see DDs rushing caps or scouting forward while BBs cruise far away on the A - I line. What happens next is that DDs get killed by the enemy ships that the friendly BBs can't hit as they're too far away, then caps are lost, enemies rush forward and BBs get killed too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dominico Players 533 posts 2,226 battles Report post #19 Posted January 15, 2017 Destroyers can actually go forward alone. That's thier strength. They can get out of dodge fast. The clueless in this thread is phenomenal. I have to agree with a couple of others here. The main problem in world of warships is people's lack of ability to scout and screen. This results in your camping. Strangely when I scout in a Destroyer or cruiser I have people with me when I talk to them in chat. Yes you get the odd moron in a battleship sat back. You also get morons in destroyers behind them. And morons in cruisers behind them... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain_Strawberry Players 306 posts 5,559 battles Report post #22 Posted January 16, 2017 funny how you have no tier 10 BBs but think that works lol Considering that he has a Fletcher means that he (A) goes up against Shimas and (B) sees BB being able to dodge those torps. The stock range be 20km, coupled with a high detection range, so the spreads are quite easy to dodge after they have travelled far enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The stock range be 20km, coupled with a high detection range, so the spreads are quite easy to dodge after they have travelled far enough. considering i have a montana i can say i have been torped by shimas. avoiding most torps is ok but you still take 4 or 5. and even if you stay alive its game over. btw with the rudder upgrade i have 17.8 seconds rudder shift time. i dont think you have to be a genius figuring that when i see torps coming at 67 knots even if i spot them at 5 kms its very hard to dodge them.
