havaduck ∞ Players 2,989 posts 11,824 battles Report post #9206 Posted November 2, 2018 Got to use this thing a little bit more solo, so copy from the other thread: I usually leave a ship for the one/those going to spot the additional towers required. Unfortunately this was one of those "going to fúck you at all costs"-teams after being nicely told and asked in chat. (for example: 2 guys that had no chance of catching up, but could guarantee us 5 stars) So I had no remorse power outfarming them AND spotting the towers myself. Glad the Seelöwe did the same on the other side. Pity they still got as big of an reward as they did. I might just pay the ransom for the Killer Whale more often than not in the future to screw with those uncooperative teams, because if I have to do it myself, then I will also DO THE FARMING myself and you can enjoy 10 minutes of sub-driving-simulator. Still working on the 500 k and 3,4 base Aboo had, but you also need a monumentally crap team for that I guess. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Until Rank #5 it was so-so but it required the "Kraken" to obtain the Rank #5: I hoped it would be much better after that but I was very very very wrong... it was total disaster with, perhaps, the worst possible teams I have ever seen in the game... I am still stuck at Rank #5... Leo "Apollo11" 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[NECRO] Deckeru_Maiku Beta Tester 6,636 posts 24,864 battles Report post #9212 Posted November 3, 2018 Soooo... I played 10 battles on Nov 1st and 2nd and managed to win 2 (!!!) battles. Especially the Edinburgh turned out to be a nightmare.... Then today I did some more battles - 21 total *cough* - and lost 8 of them. Still makes it a 61% winrate day (says WoWs S&N) To retrain my Ibuki captain for the Zao - now in myport - I put him on the Southern Dragon and was rewarded by being called a "money warrior..." after torping a brit DD playing sitting duck in his smoke and AP'ing the sh*t out of an Algerie.. Had quite some fun in that ship - it even glows in the dark!!! - and ended with two wins, 66k average damage, four kills (total) and a 3525 wows S&N PR In the Bismarck I got my first win of the day (85k damage and a sinkered Yamato ^^) before I went CoOp with her for two battles to do some Missionary stuff... didn't turn out well though, as the bots died even faster than the potatoes in random battles. Also had a 96k damage Musashi battle (3 sinkers, win) in which I sunk all enemy radar ships in a "three radars vs. our zero radars - we gonna lose" battle. Had some bad battles too, but nobody wants to read about those I guess... Oh... and a fun battle in my Yugumo on Neighbours (Domination battle) where I first went to A coming from the north, but having to retreat first 'til "the cavalry" arrived. Managed to sink a straightsailing cruiser *giggles* and then capped. Just when I started to B I noticed an enemy DD SW of A and turned to intercept it. An allied Gneisenau rounded the SW island near C in the other direction, so the DD got caught in the corner, alas he had a small island to hide behind. I sent two salvos of torps past both sides of the island and followed them. Slowly the enemy DD came out of hiding, after sending some torps at the Gneisenau, from which came a not so nice command (!!) at me to spot for him. No need for that. I hit that DD with my guns a couple times, dodged a torp spread coming my way and then finshed it off with my guns... Gneisenau seemed a wee bit miffed and shot near me, making shure he missed me though.. He even bothered me after the battle in chat and now sits on my blacklist... Didn't do loads of damage in that battle, but two sinkers and a win is okay for me.. Oh... and I managed to gather 3 Karma today, making the total... uhm... I guess 0 already again... *shrug* 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[M-P-M] Migantium_Mashum Players 3,146 posts 19,218 battles Report post #9213 Posted November 3, 2018 The only time my Bandicam was off.. an unbelievably close game.. spotting to start as enemy had double Des Moines side by side so could not get close without being pinged by radar...at 7 minutes points almost neck and neck and we are down in ships at 8/4.. so no point playing safe the Cossack charges.. at 1 minute left I am alone with the Hindenburg after bagging the enemy Yamato, Des Moines and Hindenburg in or around A..after capping A I head for B which has just been taken by the enemy.. our points hit 970 and our A cap gets neutralised so the clock stops. Thankfully as I enter B the enemy Lightning breaks cover, no idea why, he dies by my guns and we are victorious.. Given I carried the whole team to victory you'd expect a thank you or an increase of Karma.. not on your life... miserable sods... Wish i had recorded this as it was an amazing battle.. Got me a Squid too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

havaduck ∞ Players 2,989 posts 11,824 battles Report post #9217 Posted November 4, 2018 Played a few with Sky today. Still grinding it, still hating it. Survivability still not an issue - not even in T10. I was in the cap with Sky under constant threat of 2 T10 BBs and at least 2 DMs. Tops were not an issue since I had advance coverage from those. I am just surprised Sky Cancer didnt visit ....... They do tend to punish intelligent or ballsy play ....... Meanwhile, I had T10 BB behind me refusing to participate. See if you can guess which 2 full hp T10 BBs I mean in the team roster below. You can play so much differently if you know you have backup and battleships exert their influence on the map ....... Result is not that good, bad fire RNG but Dreadnought and I kept the DMs away and finally killed on of those buggers. While getting HEed and burned a lot (2 x DM + DD + Monqueror) + having the KF also taking some AP shots at me. Spoiler This thing tough, is amazing. I am sitting in a real shitty exposed spot because our Team is camping behind the islands of A. And if we get the upper hand - thats powerful ofc. If we dont this is so lost. So I am trying to exert some pressure staying in the middle and not following the lemings - and in any other cruiser I would just die. But Moskva? It looks like a battleship ..... so people dont even shoot it much?! Unfortunately enemy team refused to play so half of them are still alive when this game ended because they had basically no caps or points...... Fun thing tough was pushing their fleeing fleet full speed, not giving a damn and being 14 km from stuff like Yamato ....... Spoiler And of of those rare DD learning games. Took up some advice when playing with Sky. Like I was fighting the Maas and I was toying for short with idea of waiting when he smoked, but I didnt think he would stick around with short german smoke and was afraid of wasting valuable time while caps needed contesting and capping. Sky said to just wait and kill him - and thats exactly how it went. Personally my favourite part was still making a beeline on the Icarus, attacking him to make it look serious and scoring some hits. He ofc tried to get away - and straight into Sky waiting on the other side of the straight between the islands. Ah, good old tactics. Meanwhile I got the cap back. Their last DD was north trying to carry in vain, and from there on it was just a clean up for us. I even got to employ co-op tactics with one of the most cowardly Bayerns ever. He is down there and was one of the longest surviving members of his team before I torped him point blank. Take a wild guess before looking on the team roster ........ Then again, I guess at least when it comes to the Bayerns, the MM was indeed fairly balanced. .......... and I only lost 2 karma this game. Spoiler 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[NECRO] Deckeru_Maiku Beta Tester 6,636 posts 24,864 battles Report post #9220 Posted November 4, 2018 Weekend... and I barely managed more wins than losses (five to four) two losses in the Edinburgh... it's on the way to become my least liked RN cruiser. Although often it's teams that help in losing the battles. Nonetheless I just can't seem to adapt to this slow, brick-like maneuvrable wreck... Enemy radar doesn't help... one loss in my Southern Dragon, purely on me, as I overextended and managed to get focussed by half the enemy team after about three minutes in the battle. Things happen, when you get to play a T7 ship on a T5 map that's only 30x30 km or so and you will be spotted from 10 km away..^^ and a loss in the Katori... got sunk in the enemy cap in a standard battle, while the enemy was already ahead in points, ships sunk and cap counter... Now to the wins... two wins in the Shiratsuyu. Not my fault. Managed both times to get sunk without achieving much, but in these battles the team made up for it. In one game - Two Brothers, Standard battle - the whole team except for a Baltimore, another DD and me went to the left flank, leaving us to defend against the push of 7 enemy ships... And of course going eight versus five on the left flank lead to a stall and not the push one might have expected. So we soon had to fight a retreating battle, when the second DD was sunk and I down to 50% hp. I was so miffed, that I retreated right down to the bottom map edge, waiting to see what my "great" "teammates" might manage to do. First a Bayern went through the channel to the enemy cap, just to meet an enemy BB at the enemy's cap edge. The ramming sunk both of them. Next the surviving two enemy ships on the left flank retreated and none of ours followed them. Which was good and bad, as they managed to now turn their attention to the pushing enemies on the right flank. But it allowed the two running enemy ships to survive. Now - with all the enemy team in or near to the southern side - our side - of the map, I pushed through the channel, making three enemy ships turn back to go after me. Which gave the advantage of numbers to my team and - by stopping the counter - also gave us a couple points ahead. In the end I got sunk in the cap, but the team had managed enough kills so that we won the game. Not a great game by me. But a win... a win in the Yubari... in the Katori I had two CVs per team and in the Yubari there were of course none. But four DDs per side. Nearly as good targets... ^^ Took out two of those little buggers when they tried to be nasty to me. 40k damage, three sinkers and a 3323 WoWs S&N Unicorn rating... Vampire... this little bugger is sooo nasty... only one sinker, but 39k damage in a T4 battle with nasty Orions.. and also a 2256 WoWs S&N Unicorn rating. And lots of fun using the speed and long range guns of the Vampy to annoy Cruisers and BBs alike. With 35k average damage and a 71% winrate over 73 battles it feels soooooo sealclubberish to take her out (except for the fact that it's BBs that are on the receiving end...) And my favourite of the day - Izumo. Some might think of having only front turrets as a problem... I like it, 'cause it helps playing aggressively... just sail ahead and point your bow in the general direction of the enemy... and sink any DD stupid enough to think he's immune to BB main guns... or secondaries... or whatever... Sunk 1 1/2 DDs this battle. And two more ships, to make it a total of three with 113k damage and a 4331 Unicorn rating. I guess the way up to the Yamato will be fun. Right now after 47 battles my winrate in the Izumo is at 65.96%, even though my average damage in her is only 56k. In the end, I also seem to have had a win in the Crispy Creme Battle Of The Day, which right now takes place in Sprint 2 Ranked (5 battles total, Rank 8 it seems) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
