[NECRO] Deckeru_Maiku Beta Tester 6,636 posts 24,864 battles Report post #9326 Posted November 18, 2018 Yeah, weekend finally caught up with me... 10 battles today, only 50% winrate... still better than some other weekends I remember though... ^^ And the battles themselves weren't anything to brag about, not even the wins except for... ...the battle in my Nelson (Mission to damage/destroy 20 ship components... who would take any other ship than this gorgeous HE slinger for that...) Somehow I ended up with a DD and a cruiser on the right flank and saw the rest of the team either going left or idling around our cap - standard battle - where we faced at least half the enemy team coming at us... somehow we got through, but not without losses... our DD went down and on the other flank it also looked dire, as the enemy had managed to get a good push going against the odds. The Cruiser and I set course for the enemy cap and managed to arrive there, just to be met by two BBs and a DD securing it. A short while later there was only me versus a BB (Dunquerke) and the DD... and while I concentrated on taking down that Baguette, my secondaries were supposed to take care of the DD... The Dunkerque went down, but the DD had survived and managed to sink me with some well placed torps... Then he set course to go after my teams surviving three BBs sitting in our cap (two of those at nearly full HP - go figure...) but he ran out of time in the end and only manage to sink one of them (a full HP Fuso which had literally done NOTHING during the battle). So he got some +Karma from me for the effort but we got the win an I had two sinkers and 83k damage done on my statsheet. Can get only better during the week, I hope...

havaduck ∞ Players 2,989 posts 11,824 battles Report post #9328 Posted November 19, 2018 Played some games yesterday. Lately I feel kinda burned out on the solo parts: Ops feel likes it is stuck in Halloween for ages now (and I think its actually way 1+ month) and even co-op atm isnt enticing. Since I also played a total of 30 ranked games this year, I already reached the limit of acceptable cancer inducing fucktard-ionising radiation; so randoms without a division are out of the question too. Thing is, same as with the usual TV program, I dont get more tolerant with less exposure, the opposite happens. The thing is, even in the low tiers they usually havent learned anything requiring some balls, but they already mastered the way of the fucktard. To give you an example: 4 km Torps launched into from a distance barely able to arm them at targets 10 km out - well, I am not happy, but its T4 so ...... cant even flame him or report him as there is no foundation for that. However, there are other "techniques" that stay the same from T2-10 - and the fucktards readily discover them early. The employ them in co-op, in randoms - it doesnt matter. Accordingly the trigger is pretty much the same T2-10. Also its not like we meet actually really new players in the low tiers. The real new ones are protected anyway. On the other side someone managing to suicide around a island in a top tier Kamikaze against another DD and 3 camping BBs without any need at all ........ nah thats just stupid but not (yet, T10 it would be) a report. All games high tier were without ANY hopes of winning and balls to the wall retarded. This game has not a lot of ways to punish players that deserve it - but a lot of mechanics to punish those that dont deserve it. Ah and ofc the good old: Your xxx is retardéd, theirs is a little less so no matter how good you are or what you are trying, the have won if not for the bell MAYBE saving you. And dont kid yourself how desperate low tiers are. Fought 3 BBs and DD alone - thats a quarter of their team and most of their BBs. My team however gets farmed by ....... *drum roll* ....... a Furutaka. Yes the mighty terrifying Furutaka once again claimed helpless prey. Please nerf ........ Or another one: It should be illegal to have to do this much damage to even clench a close victory. However they had a carrier, that was less horrible than ours. It was really hard for him to press battle, I know. Then he even had to find somebody worse than him on top! Now he won the only battle that matters in a CV game: the MM lottery to get somebody worse than yourself, he definitely deserves to be unstoppable, unkillable all at once. However, the salt empowerd me and RNGgesus gave the me flaming RNG of pure vengeance and allowed us to outclub the experienced 2 enemy divsions. Just 2k short of witherer btw. So yeah thats the new DMG record for Ishi now. But yeah, several experienced guys in arguably very powerful (and top tier in some cases) ships - no problem! Some guy just started the game a few months ago but managed to get lucky with mirrored MM? Completely unstopable. Is balanced, da, da! I actually feel sorry for the Königsberg. He finally didnt end up in T7 for once. He tried to play it careful while still being in a forward position. And for that I killed him. Burning down a battletard I feel little remorse, but this victory was hollow and bitter. This is exactly what I mean. This guy played this right (mostly), and the fact that he died early YET is still on top of the team is of little condolence. You know what? Deduct 50 exp from every tard on his team and give it to this guy. That would maybe improve the standard of gameplay over time. Spoiler So did we only Sealclub at T4? No, Aboo got a Igor skin for his St. Sealclubber so we did a T3 too. Double Strike is VERY rare for me. I was also working on my Kraken/suiciding into the Nassau (when the game was won, and this guy was firing HE) but the game ended .... Ofc we did other game too, but those were balls to the wall retarded. So one T5 game helping me grinding the Minekaze. I can now afford the FC controll upgrade. Spoiler Game ended just as I was about to get into a distance and angle to pen this guy. First I was really unlucky with the game. Got first shatters and then without transition OVERPENS! on Pensacolas. After loosing already health to Sky Cancer (1 tier lower, no manual drop, its AA speced and I run def. fire - so its mucho balanced to get shít on in a cruiser) my Fubuki decided to second row me. Pardon its not second rowing as per said Fubuki; then it must me just using teleportation hacks. So with almost no health left I had to disengage from 2 DDs picking a gun duel with me - ran straight into a Leander. Could have been an awesome 2k+ game, but Cancer and Fucktard joined their efforts and said no. I was already a ~ 800 k potential but yeah ...... Spoiler More friendly torps, but in this case its not a player that should know better - and opens his big trap about it. Got flooded and forced to dam. con since I was also burning. Got burned again but managed to survive still. Another T6 - and guess what? It exemplifies why you should hate all battletards. Enemy BBs play this very well and position themselves in the rings of the epicenter. I am sitting in the rings as well but at their flank, and not bow to bow. Ofc I get heavy focus. Directly ahead is a Scharnhost, angled. I ignore him mostly as I would need to HE him, and he does the same with me for probably the same reasons. Also my guns are needed on the epicenter rings, not some ship not actively contesting. So minutes later 2 Gneisenaus come up. You know close range brawling specialists. And because there is a single red ship there, they go straight for the 10 line. Fúcking amazing. They are not even shot at, the have a meatshild in front and its (if I join too) a 3 vs 1 AND YET they feel the need to go on borderpatrol. At the end of the game I was at 40 % health with 1 heal remaining - and 2,4 million potential damage. But yeah, enemy is scary n' shít. You have to sit full hp in a top tier battleship until the battle has turned so much in the enemies favour that you cant win and then whine about how UP battlefucks are. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[NECRO] Deckeru_Maiku Beta Tester 6,636 posts 24,864 battles Report post #9331 Posted November 19, 2018 @havaduck I know what Your problem is: You have to play the evening shift, which is when most potatoes are around... look at me, playing in the early/late afternoon: 14 battles solo random today... winrate 78.57 % ^^ Among these were pearls like a 135k damage, six sinkers loss (!!!) in my Kamikaze. Which was made up for by a win with one sinker and 6 k damage, in which I got sunk 3 minutes in the battle... And yes, I had some other battles again where the team did win - or lose - for me, but also some really nice ones like... a 72k damage, two sinkers win in my Southern Dragon, which I survived with 1000 hp left a 150k damage, one sinker win in my Nelson... DDs don't really like to be shot at with high-caliber HE at 15+ km I guess... just look how they run... ^^ an average 97k zero sinkers win in my Musashi... turn nose towards enemy, full speed ahead, hope for the team to follow... go down guns blazing and pray that the team uses the disruption you caused on the enemy to their and your advantage... for once they did... a 40k zero sinkers win in my Shiratsuyu, in which I only capped and spotted and annoyed enemy BBs by getting visible by shooting at them and then dodging theitr shells or smoking up and soon starting it all again... oh, how these BBs can run.... ^^ and the utmost final win of the day in the last battle... and of course in the Crispy Creme... a T7 battle once again. And boy was that a battle.... The map was Fault Line, Standard battle, with me starting on the north-west side, following another cruiser and two DDs going south. Soon the first enemy Cruiser was spotted and the glorious rainbow of HE fire went in it's general direction... It was a bit bad that one of our DDs was a bit potatoish, as he soon went down to a torp. So the battle on the flank turned into my personal retreat, as there was too much gunpower up against me and too few allies (and I had already taken a bit out of a BB salvo... ouchie...) Long story made short: five minutes left to play... my team consisted of me and a damaged DD.. the enemy had a nearly dead Emile Bertin (that had already tried to sink me, but failed, and had taken quite a bit HE/fire damage in return), a DD (that was setting course to our cap) and a quite fresh Nagato. Oh, and we were behind about a few points.. about 100 or so... So playing defensively was no option. Our DD went after the enemy DD, while I tried to get the finishing shots on the Emmy B. and failed, as he managed to pull out of sight, but still was able to spot my Crispy Creme (nearly visible from orbit... even when not shooting). I caught a glimpse of the Nagato and managed to lob some shells at it, setting it aflame... our DD finished off the enemy DD and set course to the enemy cap. The clock was ticking.. The Nagato had set it's course toward me, but as our DD closed in on the enemy cap, he was able to spot the Nagato for me. And again I was able to lob some shells at it... We had to sink it... or the near dead Emmy B, which was nowhere to be seen... until it suddenly appeared at the enemy's cap, with about 100 hp left... While the Nagato came around the island between it and me our DD sunk the enemy cruiser... and suddenly we were a few points ahead... the win was close, at least if I managed not to get sunk... a salvo of torps I sent at the Nagato failed to reach it, but it made it turn away from me - big mistake - while I turned my bow in its direction. A salvo of the Nagato's AP shells came at me... and missed... the dakka-dakka-dakka of my guns increased and the Nagato started to burn, repaired, and burned again.. and the clock ticked... And before the Nagato was able to send a second salvo my way the time ran out... Game Won.. 40 points (or so...) ahead... Glorious Battle - Glorious Win! On the result screen I noticed - hadn't before - that the Nagato had already sunk four ships before I came after me... Boy, had I been lucky... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[CHEFT] DFens_666 Players 13,162 posts 11,029 battles Report post #9335 Posted November 20, 2018 Yep @WolfGewehr So we did 329.000 damage (+Forlorns on top) combined, and got 9 kills with our Division In a T6 game - where Cruiser DONT have a Heal!! Do i have to say more? Spoiler Cruisers all the iime broadside, but did our team shoot? no ofc not, they were busy killing each other. (Fiji shot our Budyonny to death, and to me it looked like he had almost full HP, unless he got hit by something else in the same moment). Or went just yolo. Fuso and Lyon kept annoying me with HE all the time in the end, but ofc when i cant angle anymore against both, the lyon gets a 94%!!! hitrate (15 out of 16 AP) shot off... lucky he got like 13 overpens and i managed to kill the Fuso. Btw ofc 4 broadside salvos were no Citadel, then the killshot for 5k HP was a citadel, despite me hitting the same spot all the time.. sure WG. Was super intense, but the amount of windowlickers was crazy 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[NECRO] Deckeru_Maiku Beta Tester 6,636 posts 24,864 battles Report post #9337 Posted November 20, 2018 Call me blind, but I only noticed today, that the RN DD line is now playable from the start... well, shows my interest in them I guess... or at least in the early ones... Nonetheless I got me a Medea, stuck one of my 3 pt captains in it and started my way up. I limited myself to only five battles in each of those low tier ships... didn't want to do any sealclubbing now.. *cough* Result: Medea T2 - 3/5 wins (60%), 28k average damage, 1.2 average kills... third battle would have allowed to "tier up" but I played all five... to... Valkyrie T3 - 3/5 wins (60%), 33k av.dam., 1.4 av.kills... again the third battle would have been the charm, but again I played all five... to... Wakeful T4 - 3/5 wins (60%), 38k av.dam., 2.0 av.kills... all five again... can't say when I could have uptiered, as the T5 to T7 were already in my harbour... When reaching T5 before sticking the captain in the next ship I took the freedom to put him in the Campbeltown - 1/1 (100%), 9k damage, 1 sinker - and Gallant - 1/2 (50%), 74k average (!) damage, 4 sinkers total (in the better damage it was two BBs and a CV, nearly solo'd) - to get him "trained" for the next ship... Acasta T5 - 1/3 wins (33%), 12k av.dam, 0.57 av.kills... what a pain... needed those 3 to get her to 10 total battles and grandfather her with a 40% winrate... 27k av.dam and 1.1 av kills over those 10 battles.. Ikarus T6 - 0/1 (0%), 2.8k damage... no kill... got sunk right at the start of the battle... not sure if I will go further with her after the next battle, which would be #10 Also did some games in other ships, quite a few to be honest... 30 in total... with a 56% winrate... (including all of the above of course..) Worth mentioning: a nice game in my Yubari... 47k damage, 2 sinkers (one of them a CV; had two of them in battle...) and 9 planes shot down... and a win a nice game in my Mikasa... 22k damage, no sinkers though, but a win.. a bit of sealclubbing in my Kamikaze, with two sinkers from only 17k damage...and a win... From tomorrow on I can now play just as usual... glad I'm through with those low tier DDs... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[M-P-M] Migantium_Mashum Players 3,146 posts 19,218 battles Report post #9338 Posted November 21, 2018 First game in.. Spent most of the game keeping a Musashi, GK, Shimakaze and Yugumo in check between A&B.. eventually the team woke up and sank 3 before I chased down and killed Musashi... but no matter how many times I pressed the F3 enemy Salem and Moskva were left intact... Salem was indeed killed in the last 3 minutes but Moskva was left to wipe out my DD consorts.. Still a Victory but considering we were 12 - 7 in favour at 6 minutes numbers were pretty close at the end and had we not retained 2 of 3 caps it could have been lost...

[NECRO] Deckeru_Maiku Beta Tester 6,636 posts 24,864 battles Report post #9341 Posted November 21, 2018 Not much positive to write about today... nine battles, barely managed to win five... again some losses and wins due to teams... Worth mentioning: a loss in my Izumo on Tears of the Cruisers Epeencenter... managed to get the First Blood achievement - some poor cruiser sticking out his nose bow from behind an island, then paddling back, oblivious to the fact that shells CAN hit something behind an island if it's just far enough away to make them plummet down from the moon onto the target - and the other some poor sod in an Alsace thinking himself iinvulnerable even when showing full broadside... Too bad that we had a division of Yamato, Alsace and Midway of which one was only giving AA to his division buddys who kept "kemping bush" near the eastern map edge... when the game was already lost they came out of their hiding spot and managed to do enough damage so the ended high enough in the battle results to be sure that "we dun gud!" - CV managed four sinkers against mostly half-wrecked enemies and got the #1 slot, yours truly (me) was #2 and the Ymmie at #3 with the Alsace ending lower due to being an utter potato and unable to hit a barn from the inside... Do I have to mention, that Yammie and CV went without camo and Alsace didn't use a single flag? Nah, everybody would have guesses that anyway by now... a win in my Yubari. T5 battle, Domination on Fault Line, me starting on the Northwestern side... both teams had a Zuiho and a Yubari... we had a Kamikaze R and the enemy a Fujin... and there were some other ships too, of course... didn't exactly bother about which ones... fillers... *cough* I set course to A accompanying the Kamikaze and some french practice target ship - Emile Bertin I think... - and another DD coming from the middle to assist us. The first to die was... the Kamikaze. Well, should have guessed that from the nationality of the player.. .or at least his clan... torped in smoke like a potato... and the next to go was the Emmy, who though showing enemies his broadside would not invite some AP shells penetrating him... so now it was a DD and me against two - zzzzzzztttt-lazor shot - make that one DD and two cruisers and a BB. But the cavalry was on the way already in for of some BB... I had taken some damage and had to pull back a bit out of sight of the Big Nasty Ones With The Big Nasty AP Shells, just to see the enemy Yubari getting annihilated by a combo of Bombdrop and BB AP shells.. When our BB on this flank got downed also it was replaced by a Cruiser, who tried to ambush an advancing enemy BB... too bad his salvo of torps missed completely... but before the BB could punish him, it had a taste of japanese eels... nearly had to ram an island to get a proper launch angle, but had managed it... kaboom went the BB... All the while the enemy Fujin had tried to torp me, but just before I sunk the BB it had been spotted by some planes our CV had sent in our direction.. I clicked the minimap and told the CV in chat to keep that DD spotted... but he went for a BB instead and immediately pulled his planes back. So when the BB went down, instead of going for the DD I decided to Cap A and send the Fujin a message "In case you want to go after our CV, feel free to do so - I won't get in your way..." So full throttle into A to cap it and I got the full attention of all planes the enemy CV had left.. which weren't not many, after he had to fly over me to sink our BB earlier and I already had taken down a few on the way to and from his target.. Now he lost the last ones... and asour CV did his final encore before getting sunk by the Fujin, the enemy CV got spotted and found himself in my gunrange... though not for long... kill number three achieved - only the Fujin was left... but the clock and points were against him. So even though he valiantly stormed into B and tried to cap it, the battle ended with a win for me. Three sinkers, ten killed planes and 44k damage done... good game I'd say... Last battle of the day and it was same old, same old... me in the Crispy Creme, the battle a T7 match... Fault line again, Standard battle... nothing special, 23k damage and three sinkers with only one being impressive, as I saved a BBs life with it, as a DD was trying a yolo run against it, but had to turn first to get the BB in it's launching arc, just to take a full salvo from Crispy's Cremy HE Shells Of Love from low range... For some unknown reason I seem to do better with the Crispy in T7 battles than in the lower tier ones... some people seem to ignore the pling-pling-pling of her shots until they get set on fire... and on fire again... In the end the battle ended with me in the enemy Cap after hunting (!!!) a Pepsicola (!!!) that ineffectively lobbed AP shells at my bow, while itself got plinged by a HE shell once in a while.. when I finally had burned it down, there was only a BB way west of the cap that could have meant trouble, but after some more HE plinging from behind an island - while sitting in cap - some allied ships took it down.. The last enemy ship - another BB - was on the other side of the map, near the western map edge, running for it's life - why? It's not as if getting sunk would make a loss any worse, is it? - so I could single cap to the end... feels good, man.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[NECRO] Deckeru_Maiku Beta Tester 6,636 posts 24,864 battles Report post #9350 Posted November 22, 2018 Had one of my "play like the rest of the team" days again, which resulted in a 33% winrate... *cough* The only battle worth talking about came in my Nelson, on hunt for the "damage a sh**load of ship components" RN DD mission... Nelson + shooting HE at everything except broadsided enemies = automatic success Battle was Domination on Fault Line once more... and I assisted two DDs and a Fiji in taking A from the north. DDs were a bit potato-ish again, as they first managed to spot and allow the Fiji and me to shoot at some targets showing up, then smoking up and cutting off our line of sights completely, leaving us blind.. shortly later the Fiji got annihilated by a BB salvo and one of the DDs got cruisered to death... the second DD an me managed to push the enemy back though (or sink one or two... not me though... I only did some damage) until the DD turned to the middle and I followed the enemy Gneisenau that retreated.. Lobbed some shots at an BB near the B cap, while going north, then west, to go after the last enemy ships. I stumbled into a Normandy at near full health, while my HP and heals already had taken some severe hits... But in the end we echanged killing salvos, which left my team in the lead and ahead on points, caps and ships far enough to carry the game home for a win... Only got one kill, but 108k damage and a sh**load of damaged/destroyed ship components to finish that mission... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
