Praevasc Players 235 posts 2,312 battles Report post #9601 Posted December 20, 2018 It doesn't seem like much, so here are some details: - I have less than 40% winrate with the Maas (because of a long long losing streak, where 20% of the time our carrier was a potato while theirs a super unicum, 50% of the time most of our BBs went straight for the corner behind the spawning area, 10% of the time the enemy just played better, and 10% of the time I screwed up royally and cost us the battle) - I killed both enemy DDs (one was pushing A, the other was pushing C), and captured all three caps. - 2-3 minutes before the end there was very little material difference between the teams. I can't judge how good or bad the enemy team was, but they pushed two caps, didn't just stay in the spawning area. I know how to play when both teams are balanced. I still have to learn how to play DDs when our team hangs back. I feel my skills seriously lacking in those cases. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[CHEFT] DFens_666 Players 13,162 posts 11,029 battles Report post #9603 Posted December 21, 2018 Man those teams... only 4 stars with that damage first Torpedoman achievement for me tho I almost killed the Kongo/Ischizuchi by myself, meanwhile my team does basicly 0 damage to Fuso and just dies. (had 56k/37k on the 2 BBs, ofc they survived aswell ) Spoiler Spoiler Earlier you could almost solo carry Aegis, but with BBs instead of CVs it wont work. Cruisers are lacking alpha damage, while BBs are lacking dispersion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly i ran out of RNG in the last match with Musashi... Basicly lost that (after 20 wins streak), because our CV sucked and was afk for like 5 mins... which wasnt enough, our Bismarck had to announce that in global chat to the enemy team aswell 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[NECRO] Deckeru_Maiku Beta Tester 6,636 posts 24,864 battles Report post #9608 Posted December 21, 2018 Done... Dreadnaught missions finished and it's in my port. Tried it out and it's not that bad for a T3 BB And as I had a shipload of coal already, I thought about getting me that T10 US Cruiser Salem, but then I came to my senses and got me the Jean Bart and the Charleston instead.. And now I can spend my time doing the missions to get the PEF... a couple are done already... like going for caps in my Kamikaze and getting ~125k damage while only trying to cap... ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

havaduck ∞ Players 2,989 posts 11,824 battles Report post #9612 Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) H4x! Also Sky Cancer. Feels like not having played this for a week. And randoms for 3 (less than a handful of those at least and a complete *edited*). Some old stuff, starting with the defence of retardstation: Icarus is an interesting thing to play. Not strong in a strict sence but the lots and short duration smokes are a different approach. The ops itself is so hard thanks to the *edited* populating this game - which hides in spawn mostly. So even if you go DD hunting in your Fuso and score massive results, you get *edited* because its a low star win. And the thing is, being horrible and base camping go hand in hand. Ofc there are suiciding *edited* but usually just going out there does something. If I get shot, I have (more ...) effective gunfire support and take less damage. If they get shot I will try to farm the enemy so they dont take damage and try to get the objective. In either way it trumps being useless..... - at least I brought honour and approbation to Windowlicking Yeah I smoked up the CV in a vain attempt to make something happen. Lost my tubes (and the reload on them) on my way in on the Izumo. Also got the last one disable, so I couldnt launch more than 2-3 ....not to mention the several k health lost ... yeah, BBs are so underpowered when you get close. Also: Premium ships and premium time = balanced. Here you can WG balance at work that roughly translates to go buy one or go *edited*. Speaking of p2w - I have now my first Yamato-class blattleship after 3 years of playing; and its p2w. So I actually was hoping that *edited* would come on again during December when I would work less; however it ofc. had to be the week where I could only play partially on the 2 days of WE. Anyway 2 days of playing with p2w gave me roughly 6 times the amount of free xp than a WHOLE YEAR = 2 days of p2w is worth 6 regular years of playing. And that only the free xp. Lets talk about captain xp. I used to have 3 groups. Noobs: Anything up to 10. Obviously 10 or close to that were useful to command newly acquired ships or replace captains going up the techtree. Veterans: 12-14. Usually former 10ers that I played SO MUCH in that they now got 12-14 pts. My Nagato captain is a example. Generally these are were the most experienced non unique captains. Uniques: Aka my T10 captains. They have 19 pts and are a compromise so they can fit on other ships: Zao goes on Kongo, Myoko, Takao, etc ....you get the picture. Now I got a new group and I call them Walletwarriors: Some p2w infused 16-17 pts captain I optained with spamming the p2w. Back to Anal Cherry tough; so I spammed this one and that only gives you a deep hatred for humanity. However its the most well designed and still enjoyable ops that gives o.k. rewards. So following only 3 k+ games. This is my best one - at least xp-wise. I have a lot with more dmg, and a lot candidates but those werent 5 stars or similar. Initially I diddnt think of this as anything special - guess thanks to the last sub ops with 4,7k base. However in retrospect thats my best game xp-wise by far. @aboomination I summon thee - whats the record atm on *edited*? Speaking of "not 5-star": I have come to dread the "wisdom" in chat. Like how you can "bombard the airfield without having to deal with the ships" and simlar. Likewise trying to kill the airports at the 7-8 minute mark (campers not pushing in ofc) is ever increasing. You cant expect anything else from the scum that is this playerbase. They will stop at nothing to [edited]you over. 4 radar cruisers are happy to "save their radar for them" and then its 4 stars max all of a sudden; because only are they *edited* - no, they are sabotaging *edited*. Likewise you can have 4 hydro cruisers camp behind you full hp all game - never screening, never trying anything but farm free scraps. I cant actually remember wether that was 4 or 5 stars. I remember a pretty epic 4 star Edin game; but that could have been 2,9 k as well. Anyway its above 3k so ...... Spoiler .......and I am not talking about this one. Included this one as an exception (not 3k +) because this was a hard carry. Lots of campters. Pushed in solo. In this phase the Edin can be the ideal ship thanks to the heal and no more Sky Cancer. I remember it also ending early because the campers were shooting at the airfields ...... Otherwise + 5 stars and this would have been close to 4k I think ...... Spoiler Cant remember if 4 stars: Also died before I could do the clean up farm - results of really determinated campers. Another potentially legendary game down the drain. Spoiler Even tough I really like this ops, I was really happy to be done with it. This rotten playerbase, developers and the p2w were really taking a toll on the fun. I was actually going through the report in a random-esque speed (thats middle; between co-op and ranked) and I sometimes just had to flame the *edited*; which means I now have 136 karma - new record (well, it was close to 140 but ........ ).

[SCRUB] Aotearas Players 8,460 posts 13,076 battles Report post #9616 Posted December 22, 2018 This ship is just absurd: Let me just casually citadel a Montana at 19,4km range. Oh, that's just a fluke you might say? Let me just do it again with the next salvo. Spoiler Lots of people like to focus the Balansgrad though. Kind of surprised, typically randoms are happy to ignore high value targets like radar cruisers or destroyers ... but the moment they see a Stalingrad everyone drops what they're doing and goes all Shining on your glorious soviet arse. Can't fault them for it. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Using DDs often myself I can imagine what that poor DD player was going through at that moment... 52 minutes ago, DariusJacek said: I had decent teams thanks to good MMTM CHEATER! You, Sir, must be a effing cheater using MM hacks... nobody gets decent teams on this game on weekends! Nobody, I say! Nonetheless I managed to win four of my five random (!!! no more CoOp (unless for the more stupid missions) for me) battles today. Got a win and a loss in the Jean Bart. Still have to see how she does against a CV, but as the spearhead on a flank push she does good when someone follows her and continues to push when she goes down... got that once today, and it ended as a win, after I took out two Fijis and stuck some more shots in a couple other ships, causing them to turn away from that maniac sailing straight at them at full speed... ^^ Got a win in the Yugumo for sitting in a cap behind an island and torping two enemy DDs trying to sneak around it... Got another win in the Dreadnought. Went to the C cap on New Dawn Domination, watched allied DDs, cruisers and a BB suicide all around me and got the attention of a South Carolina and the enemy Dreadnought... I managed to take the SC down but failed the ram against the Dreadnought... so 48k damage and only one sinker, but the team managed to take it to a win from there.. And the last battle - as always - saw the Krispy Kreme doing what my Krispy Kreme is supposed to do: end up in a T7 Standard battle on Trident and annoy the living sh*t out of all those nasty T7 BBs after losing 50% of your hp to two salvos from a Southern Dragon (= Myoko clone) after 3 minutes into the battle... didn't get a kill, but 42k damage were done by sending flaming rainbows of HE love to all enemy BBs that though standing still or backpedalling slowly and "bowtanking" would be a good idea... And it still makes me wonder why I do seem to do better in a T7 match with the KK than when being top tier.. too many people - especially those T7 BBs to my experience - seem to tend to ignore her and the little plink-plink-fire-plink-fire-plink-plink-plink-fire-etc damage she does... but in the end it adds up. Add to that the poor folks thinking them immune to enemy shells by hugging their island waifu, just to see shells falling down from the sky at them... those shot angles are rediculous!

Any enemy target is a valid target. Any ship can use it's full arsenal of tools of destruction even if it has only 1 hp left. So the only good enemy ship is a sunk enemy ship. Anybody getting pi**ed and whining about killstealing in chat should immediately get sunk by an enemy ship that has only 1 hp left... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you for example sink an enemy battleship with less than 1000 HP, damage control on cooldown and burning in two places, while another enemy nearby still has most of their HP intact, you were absolutely kill stealing. My best achievement tonight: This was the first Torpedoman achievement I've had since tier 5 was excluded from operations. With the Minekaze you could farm those achievements easily, thanks to its quick reload. With Fubuki, not so much. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
