Urphast Players 31 posts 1,945 battles Report post #1 Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) [edited]this completely luckbased mission, through such a dumb event we'll have 5+ destroyers each game not only [edited]up game balance but also this mission is basically just luck. at high tier u'll have stupid german ships basically permanently hydroing evervything all over the place making hitting people based on how stupid and unaware they are. Can somebody explain to me what the point of the missions in WoWs are? to appease less than 10% of the playerbase who are even capable of doing them? Last I checked the game wasn't paid by the top10% of the playerbase.Even if I ever hit 10 torps I'll have craplike a midway eagle-flying her stupid planes over me for the entire game until I get blasted away and then I'll end up 4th place. At least just make us hit 10 torps which is hard enough for anything not japanese. Edited April 17, 2017 by Urphast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[2DQT] RUSSIANBlAS Players 8,241 posts Report post #4 Posted April 17, 2017 Yes this mission is stupid, as you can win games with DDs by landing far less torp hits. A few in the right place and capping/spotting is enough. Plus needing to survive is a big FU to everyone else. If i got 10 torp hits I'm sailing straight into a corner...

[TOXIC] eliastion Players 4,795 posts 12,260 battles Report post #5 Posted April 17, 2017 Still the mission is crap and basically just RNG. I must disagree here. It requires luck, yes, but it's dependence on RNG if very small - torps are much less affected by RNG than shells and what you need is just torp hits, not floodings. So while it's not a very good mission, it's not an RNG one. And it's infinitely better than "sink X cruisers of Y nation" kind. Or "get Z amount of flooding damage".

"Mission X is worse therefore Mission Y doesn't suck so much". It feels like no gamedesigner made this mission, how could they not have thought about making the game a DD-cancerfest by luring us into playing this mission? BBs camp at the start of their map and often just drive off somewhere right now and I can't even blame them, I wouldn't even bother trying to cap right now before the DDs didn't eat each other alive.

[2DQT] RUSSIANBlAS Players 8,241 posts Report post #7 Posted April 17, 2017 It is as luck based as any other of the missions. You're not landing 10 hits on other DDs for instance, it needs some brain dead BBs who are not going to die to others and also not lose too fast so the game ends...

[TOXIC] eliastion Players 4,795 posts 12,260 battles Report post #8 Posted April 17, 2017 The mission would be a piece of cake if ship death had a 1 second delay for purpose of registering torp and shell hits (so that additional torps don't count as misses). More than a couple times I've had dense torp salvos hit a BB with 5+ fishes... with only 2 first registering due to target's remaining hp and my torps' damage.

Urphast Players 31 posts 1,945 battles Report post #10 Posted April 17, 2017 I feel like trying this at t9 with a fletcher is pointless and that I should just get a t6 german destroyer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VC381 Players 2,928 posts 6,549 battles Report post #15 Posted April 17, 2017 I would say the best ship to try this in is probably a Shinonome, because of 9 torps fast reload and it's easier at low tier where there are more dumb people sailing into your torps. I might try for it a couple of times today but I don't care that much. For me the best reward (1 mil) I already got at 4/5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Urphast Players 31 posts 1,945 battles Report post #20 Posted April 17, 2017 So the people here who did this mission are part of the less than 1% top playerbase which brings me back to the point: Why does WG even give so much of a crapabout the top 1%. This isn't league of legends, there's no huge tournaments for this game, the game is paid for by everybody and should be made for everybody and not just the 1%ers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[UNICS] loppantorkel Players 4,506 posts 15,942 battles Report post #21 Posted April 17, 2017 It's not about the top 1% of the playerbase. It's about having the right ship, a good game and a bit of luck. There are many missions I haven't succeeded, this one I did. You shouldn't expect to accomplish 5/5 tasks. Change your perception instead of complaining. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[2DQT] RUSSIANBlAS Players 8,241 posts Report post #22 Posted April 17, 2017 8 Torp hits in Benson, 166k and Witherer. Not enough Technically that's more impressive than the actual mission requirements... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patteri666 Players 30 posts 1,955 battles Report post #24 Posted April 17, 2017 I would like to thank the opposing team for potatoing ultra-hard in the first minutes of the game, 6 torp hits in my first 2 volleys. I never imagined I'd complete this one on my Fubuki I just started grinding on - with a 6pt captain Raked in the Bane of the Oceans aswell, ain't even mad for losing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[PKTZS] JapLance Weekend Tester 2,567 posts 18,265 battles Report post #25 Posted April 17, 2017 Certainly terribly difficult mission to do the last stage. I've tried Shiratsuyu, Akatsuki, Mahan and Benson... no way. 5DDs per game all the time, constant carriers in my games (who said carriers are not played?).Teams during the weekend didn't help. From 0 to 8 hits. 10? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA you mad bro! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
