At least in the sense that I think how you mean it. Seriously, what do you want to hear as a response? Some clan tried something new or just wanted to play a fun/troll battle and you make a fuzz about it because apparently (and correct me if I am wrong) you didn't win? Did they use a douchy setup? Maybe. Is it worth discussing in regards to a future change in the rules? Maybe. Is it worth a whine thread? Probably not if you don't want people to ridicule you.

RamirezKurita Players 1,130 posts 2,612 battles Report post #5 Posted October 25, 2017 Oh noes! Somebody is daring to use an unorthodox tactic in a competitive game mode!

[HOO] BeauNidl3 Players 2,192 posts Report post #6 Posted October 25, 2017 Bit much to label them cheaters, they clearly played within the rules, which allow 7x DD. As far as I'm aware there are only restrictions on Carriers (zero) and Battleships (max one) other than that any combination is up to the clan playing. Up to your team to adapt to your opponents tactics. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[WALLY] OttoTTV Players 32 posts 16,657 battles Report post #7 Posted October 25, 2017 Well its not about that because they did not do too well but still won. the question you should be asking why no CV's and only 1 BB but yet 7 DD's are allowed 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And why didnt u think about it, that it might happen when you knew the restrictions? One of my first thoughts when I read the CW rules was "Oh nice, 7 DDs gonna be fun". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[HOO] BeauNidl3 Players 2,192 posts Report post #9 Posted October 25, 2017 DD's are fragile and easy to kill. 1 BB max makes some sense as at T10 they are self healing fortresses that can insta delete cruisers. CV's, well they're pretty broken (according to people that I know who play CV's a lot) and until there's a way to balance them better which seems a long way off then they decided to exclude them. I suspect they wanted clan battles to be attractive to view and cruiser and destroyer play can be a lot more dynamic than BB's camping. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[MORIA] Durin_VI Players 375 posts 50,008 battles Report post #10 Posted October 25, 2017 7 Khaba's vs 7 Khaba's...I would like to see that/be part of it; could be very well the most intense/FUN battle ever. In the end, it is about playing a game and having fun and that involves trying new stuff/ideas. If it works, yey, if it doesn't work, move on and try something else and have more fun 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[HOO] BeauNidl3 Players 2,192 posts Report post #12 Posted October 25, 2017 Assuming I'd brought a decent cruiser mix with Radar and hydro, carefully. With focus fire and coordination of consumables it should be doable I'm no expert, but I've no objection to a team using all DD's, it would be more interesting that the cookie cutter Conqueror + 6 Moskva. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SCRUB] Aotearas Players 8,460 posts 13,076 battles Report post #15 Posted October 25, 2017 Considering they won, I very much doubt they were idiots roaming around. Or conversely, if they were idiots roaming around and you still lost to them, what does that make you then? Pick whichever you fancy, I know what I'd put my money on (hint: the one calling cheats on an unorthodox/troll tactic gets the short stick). Such tactics (and yes, they're tactics no matter how much you don't like it) can prove to be surprisingly effective on opponents that can't deal with a sudden gameplay change, though they're typically beaten back rather easily by a more versatile team if they react properly as a 7 DD strategy has little to no endurance in a fight if they get forced into one. 14 minutes ago, OttoCarius21st_Tv said: Appreciate it, But how would you deal with 7 dd's? if you was up against them First step would be to not let them use their single most powerful advantage: their speed. Have your own team's DDs rush a cap (with cruiser support for muscling through a fight) and the rest (preferably with the radar ships since the DDs should spot the enemy DDs anyhow if they pick a fight or contest)) go for the other cap, force an engagement if necessary to cap it. After securing both caps (or securing one and blocking the other), hold. They can't afford to get into a trading fight and forcing a cap lead means they have to push to win. At that point you can split your radar cruisers if you have more than one (you should if possible) to ensure that they simply can't push into caps and from then on out it's just either waiting for the ticket bleed to end the game in your favour, or have them try and match your cruisers in a gunfight. With all the hydro being on cruisers everywhere, the chance to get torped ought to be incredibly slim and you can afford to manouver wildly since nothing can exploit a broadside. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree completely, they didn't cheat, they just used a different team setup. Even implying they cheated by bringing 7 DD's to a battle is ludicrous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They came to that battle with an unorthodox setup and you and your team failed to react properly and thus you lost. Shame on you! 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[WGP2W] Namolis Players 751 posts 18,410 battles Report post #18 Posted October 25, 2017 I realize it might be difficult to dodge 93 torpedoes coming all at once and dropped in a cross-pattern. But it's not illegal in any way, nor is it uncounterable. You just need to bring some combo of Z52+Moskva+DM+Hind next time. I suppose against a build like this you may need to content yourself with chasing them away from the caps, but you can still win on points. PS Replay? Pleeeease....? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, there's a difference between outright trolling with compositions that will never work and experimenting with unorthodox but still potentially effective compositions. Considering how the 7 DDs won their game, that would definitely fall into the latter category. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
