Seems like she's accepted my apologies: Spoiler Apart from that, the Royal Navy collection completed. Seriously, I don't know how many duplicates of Icarus' badge and Tarigo's picture I've received, but those two really stood out among the collectables. Salute.

Nope, in fact I was moving towards its back. But at the time of the shoot she was almost fully broadside. This screenshoot was taken right 3 secs after I found out about the citadel and recovered from my "wow" thought. Now I think of, I shoot her at 7 km. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[DK-CP] NothingButTheRain Players 6,338 posts 14,259 battles Report post #9458 Posted December 5, 2018 Yesterday I was in a dynamo farm group and the other 2 played Sims and a Farragut, me using some useless tech tree ship as I can't use Cossack due to 2 tiers difference (pretty sure this is a bug though). Then the Farragut player left and got replaced by another Sims player and I could finally use my Cossack again with 19pt cap, as I needed the ecxp and the credits. This one guy then suddenly changed from Sims to Icarus, simply to block us from entering the operation. The division leader kinda went week-knees and wanted me to discuss the matter with this narcissist that was having a hissy fit and he claimed he didn't want to go with a useless Cossack as it would be more useless to him then to take another Sims which with he would need to share plane kills (and thus lower bxp for each AA DD). So I was like "Sure, why not?". He ended up trying to get me killed 2 battles, got killed himself once while we managed 4 stars with just 7007 survivors left. He stated he could not read but of course he was lying and just trying to outsmart me. In the end I gained nearly 2m credits in 2 battles and some much needed ecxp and got bombed only once due to him timing the triggered bombers. He didn't seem as keen anymore to try a 3rd time, even though I teamed up with him again as (despite him viciously trying to get me killed and disrupted in any way he could think of) he was not much of a threat to me anyway. I think I can be proud of myself for being able to stomach these kinds of players, yet remain civilized, even being able to toy with him a bit and saving my chinese camos for better times. They are fun like that, I simply play dumb and they believe it. Can you believe it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway played Defence of Retard-Station today. Its kinda like slicing open your veins - without the sweet of relief of death to end your suffering ofc. Some old games: This one I dont remember to much about, aside that Wolf and I really carried. Was a nice tense game and struggle too. Something all too rare nowadays with retard infused landslides randomly granting roflstomps or unavoidable crushing defeat. Spoiler Another old one, with one of the rare cases of T8 top tier BB. As crap as Monarch is, if you are not retarded as a battleship player but top tier, you just w-key the enemy and roll over them. Exactly what I did. Result is not that outstanding but solid divison carry and as you can see enemy team was terminally retarded and we won on pts with nearly half of them alive. Game ended just as I was about to come out of the corner and shoot the Nelson in the broadside ....... ofc. Spoiler Decent Budyoni game: sadly Fry was denied his Kraken (I blame both for killstealing ofc - on top without a single kill? ). Nevertheless solid division carry and kinda fun .... Spoiler ..... because the focus was real. 1,1 mio potential in T5-6 game? Why could that be? I wonder ....... Maybe the position of the non division BB could tell the story ........ Spoiler Hava plays DD! You know what that means? I guess I gotta explain. When I play DD I am always heavily outnumbered and meet at least 2 DDs and I have no support. Meanwhile the enemy team is ofc in position and at least at the edge of any given cap when the DDs meet. Lets see: Aboo is with me, so at least I have one BB supporting me. The Pensacola ofc immediately abandoned us and ran away to do more important stuff - like ending up last with less than 600 xp on a win. The enemy: Mett both enemy gunboat DDs, killed the Taifun-league player. Since I had a BB supporting me ...... the enemy had 2! Something still missing ........ remember the Pensa that ran away? Ah yes, the enemy also had ofc the Belfast right on this flank too. (I might miss/have forgotten another cruiser, but is anybody really still counting? .....) Ofc, what fúcking esle. Gotta have that. Would be too easy otherwise. And that folks is Hava playing DD - the equivalent of Loran-MM even more distilled for higher concentration. We defended the flank as best as we could - how I ended on top with these ods is beyond me ......... guess I was just lucky. Spoiler An ok but not awe inspiring win with 2 caps on T10? Well ofc its a T10 game with the enemy being terminally retarded and half of them still alive; this ofc means even a so-os result like this is good enough for 1st place. Oh T10, what fun! The smells of roses (dunked into and soaked with diarrhoea) everywhere! Spoiler On of the rare fun T10 games. Tense and exciting! The win was not nearly as clear as it looks. Aboo acted as our eyes ...... however WG hates using brain instead of wallet and doesnt want to reward decent teamplay ...... They had an Omni guy too and it was a solid struggle. However both Teacup and we reported the enemy teams Musashi. I you wondering why, just take at the results and have the information that he was among the last to go down. That should suffice. Its not like we didnt have our fare share of those guys too ....... BB players ...... Spoiler More Hava plays DD. Charming MM ofc. Outspotted and outgunned ...... Instead of torping I power contested those caps and forced the enemy DDs out. And by enemy DDs I mean Lightning and Gaja. I also ofc had a run in with the IJN DDs. Spoiler I even had a smoke duell. We were both trying to kill each other. He had hydro and his torps ready. My torps were on CD so guns only ....... Owned the Lightning pretty hard. Cant remember if he did hit me even once. Also didnt land his torps ofc. After loosing their DDs in the middle the enemy just crumbled. I got my spotting mostly in the beginning and then barely any more as it was just feeding frenzy. Sadly as the enemy ran away no chance to torp something and only some stray hits on the CV before he was dead and it was all over ...... Spoiler I hate the Monarch for being such a potato-rewarding fuckboat that punished actual decent play. Still I dont play with both hand fapping and occasionally press W, so best BB. Bottom tier ofc. Spoiler More T10 joy: Our DDs were terminally retared so division Zao had to play "DD" and contest the caps in epicenter(!). Obviously Lulu lost a lot of hp doing that, but it kept us in the game. Our DDs? Well ofc the didnt contest the epicenter, they had far more "important" stuff to do. When we could still win, our Yamato decided to get Shima "hunting" instead of supporting us ...... thus with such vast amount of utter fúck on your team 6 divsion kills are not enough. And those 6 kills were, I think, our first 6 kills! Yeah ..... Spoiler More T10 joy: Gutting the enemy DDs and getting 3 kills just isnt enough. You own DD are more than happy to join the enemy effort and decisively crush any hopes. Spoiler This game wasnt as clearly won as it looks. Both team were trying to cap. Team was very bad (low tiers so kinda excusable - I mean its nothing compared to the retardation on T10), so they had more ships. That was ofc before I used "wallet" and "battleship - fair and balanced" on them. Its actually a shame we caped out. I mean I was 3 vs 1 at out cap against these, so ofc I could have powerfarmed them all! Might even have been a new damage record for Cesare. That Dallas tough. He had outstanding potato-armo. I fired 4 or 5 perfectly aimed salvos at his broadside from 12-14 km and didnt do more than I think 2 overpens TOTAL! That ofc meant he kept going straight without even fúcking trying to evade - potato-armor of the highest grade! Only when I finally citadelled him it was so cute, he ran away. Not for a while, not to farm me from behind an island but completely. For the entire rest of the game he wasnt to be seen ever again! Spoiler Clanbattles in a ship I know nothing at all about ..... CB Kraken ........ denied (I haz sad, somebody else caused that pretty explosion in the middle) Another one ....... However I noticed a pattern. The less I get shot at, the less damage I do -> the more decisive is our victory. I guess if I camp the border we will every time and be in Hurricane in no time. Tired now ....... hope I can finally sleep now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, things were rough for us today. We still came out with a plus but otherwise not a lot of things went our way. I'll just say tonight's highlight for me was losing 31k HP in one volley (5 shells) from a Stalingrad at 15km despite me already well in the process of angling out. Guess those Des Moines angle Stalinium railguns still found something to bite into and then citadel the crap out of my Zao. Just urgh ... And our match could've really gone either way up until the end of the match, that was a very nice pull through from you guys! We didn't go purely sealclubbing for relaxation though. It's just that the last match was my pick and I wanted something real cheeky to cheer me up and as I've said, the party boat always delivers! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
