Been waiting on FXP and Coal for months to see what happens, finally brought Musashi today on complete impulse. All I can say is holy s*** these guns, every other battleship is ruined now.

 

Not nearly as unwieldy as I thought it would be either, seems to work well roaming around aggressively at mid-range angled in or angled out, no need to stop and go bow-in with only 6 guns.shot-18_12.11_17_19.42-0952.thumb.jpg.8c09d195b11737606b3f99f491db4007.jpg

That enemy Neptune... :P

 

At the end of the game he was crossing a gap behind his own smoke, the smoke dropped to reveal my Musashi broadside on 8km away with all guns aimed straight at him.

And he saw it like this

 


 

On a more serious note: 200% Winrate again today... Yes, Krasny Krim was successful in another battle... T7 this time. right at the start I ended up against an overwhelming superior enemy force on the right flank of Estuary (standard mode, south spawn) which of course made me turn heel and run like crazy, lobbing shots "over my shoulder" at everything in reach, even managing a killing shot on some poor T6 cruiser... Then an enemy König tried to hunt me, but getting set on fire a couple times and then noticing a Cesar's Sald lurking behind me, he thought better of it and started running away..

So without anyone close trying to sink me, I set course to the enemy cap, looking for virtually ANY target at all... but as soon as I managed to lob some shots at some of the last surviving enemies, they were sunk with my shells still being in the air...

Nonetheless, when only the enemy CV - a Bogus - was left and I was already going full speed through the enemy cap, I managed to land the killing shot at nearly maximum range against it (with our CV seconds away from torping it and two other ships shooting at it, too). So... two sinkers, 44k damage and a win...

 

Well and then there were a few *cough* CoOp battles in the Yugumo and Tripitz B. Only two in Yugumo with okay-ish results damage- and sinker-wise and quite a few in the Tripitz B with me yolo-ing towards the enemy like Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid in Bolivia, just getting slightly better results than those two.

In the end I even got +karma'd for being the sole survivor in one battle and then nearly landing the killing shot against the last enemy, if he hadn't been torped from the grave by the DD he sank seconds before with my shells still in flight...

 

Sooo... yeah, CoOp feels like taking sweets away from a sleeping baby. A baby, that has been suckling on momma's bosom and is now well fed and tired and sleeping and not giving a flying eff about the sweets you are going to take away from it.

5th Natural Selection achieved in operations, 5 star win and a nice amount of XP earned... but I feel unsatisfied.

Don't get me wrong, it's a good result, the problem is that it was the second try today: I also got a Natural Selection on the first one (all the others I have were obtained in Cherry Blossom), yet a meagre 1 star win due to things going south the moment a DD from the third wave managed to scratch the perimeter with its bow. I wonder how much base XP I could have earned if everything had run smoothly...

 

Salute.

First games in my Cossack (i really was against getting it because i hated the way WG handled the Guinea stuff, but when everyone around you is saying "its great, get it" couldnt resist anymore at some point)

For that matter even my first games in T8+ DD :Smile_Default:

don't you get the four kill squid? Have WG removed it?

@DFens_666 Cossack is a good little DD and with performances like that you should perhaps consider another line. You never know you may be a natural.

 

I have played US DDs till T8, IJN both/german/PA at T6, Russian T7 and almost at Lightning because of the UK DD stuff.

Dunno... i guess, i never was too excited about DD play in general, alltho i can play them. But to be good, id have to play more, i think i only have like 300 battles in DDs.

I think most of my battles are DD's and I am not far from my Jutland and if you like the Cossack you should enjoy Lightning... She gives even T10 players a run for their money.

From T8 IJN (Kagero) gets to be fun especially with 5.4km concealment and TRB (Torpedo Reload Booster)

I am still at T6 for Russian DD's and perhaps will finish the grind later.. but not too fussed tbh now.

I still do very well in my Gearing especially with the LU equipped.. 5.6km concealment is nothing to be sniffed at... and the torpedoes are still powerful, if you're brave enough to go as close at 6km to 6.5km you never miss with them.

200% Winrate again... and Dreadnaught Mission at 22/40

 

I have to admit, waltzing all over those poor little bottyseals gets a bit tiring after the first couple days. So I try to do it a bit different each day. Like today, when I used my Izumo in a couple battles - not that it would make much of a difference to using the Musashi - and even the Sims - which, of course, didn't meet a CV while in all other battles of the day there was one in battle 90% of the time.

 

Oh, and my total CoOp winrate over now 344 battles got upped to 99.13% Because I lost at least some battles in the last couple years due to lost connections or stupidy or due to playing too aggressive I'll never be able to achieve a 100% CoOp total winrate... but 99.9% is an option..

This was my first Major Contribution in anything other than a carrier. The game was extremely close too. I was the last one left alive against three battleships. I scored five citadels with a single point blank salvo on the Izumo, then sank him with my next one. The reinforcements ultimately arrived a couple seconds before one of the remaining battleships rammed me, while the last support ship was on fire with about 2k HP left.

My achievement today was I got chatbanned (again). I only told off a guy who was telling us what to do the second the game started, and then after he died continued to tell us 'think about what you did wrong guys'. The bloody nerve of some people, who the hell do they think they are? Talk about self-importance. Anyhoooo, 24 hours of silence is my reward for trying to remind some big mouths they're not that great themselves, haha. WG justice for you.

Can someone explain to me what achievement is?

Lately when I look at post in this thread it makes me really wonder.

Some are fine but some others I would consider normal/average. Is normal an achievement this days?

First match in my Arizona and the stars aligned to give me a 1-shot on one unlucky Shchors.

It isn't much of an achievement, but I did have fun doing it. And now I know what ship to drag out for some T6 action next time.

To the person posting they are an achievement to others who have greater skill they are merely average. If you have some guy in lower tier games coming through then of course average will be amazing to the poster and will drive him along for his rise in tiers.

It is down to the poster, I would say that if the poster feels it's an achievement then that is what it is and it hurts nobody so what's the harm?

 

Perhaps, you should begin an independent thread for your own results so that we can see your level of performance?

 

And this is the title of the topic.. emphasis on "Your"
