But as a stupid noob I rushed to TX with miserable results. But I got me a Hindy. Then I tried Battleships. I also liked them. I did better. Well, it is logical because I had a few games under my belt by then. I did rather well in the Scharnhorst. Then, I felt that I was a miserable potato in DD and challenged myself. You know the story.....LOL And I fell in love with Destroyers. And I became less of a potato. And I tease @Bear_Necessities every time he plays anything but DD (the proper ships). I don't have the Z and the Y from TX. But I play mid tiers with occasional visits to high. T5 in a DD is the most F U N. Now with this forced regrind I have the feeling that I will be seeing you all in mid tiers. Nothing wrong with midtiers, but due to grinding ive been playing a lot more hightiers (not that its much fun... ) But even the last few T7 games were often in T9 heavy MM, which is barely fun either. T5 vs T7, T7 vs T9, T8 vs 10 btw, Hindenburg was my first T10 aswell, but i violated myself playing like 700 T8 battles before that Hipper and Takao. I actually sold Hipper 3 times i believe One day, i might buy it again... Would like to get Monty, Yama and DM soon, but this grinding isnt much fun to me. I rather play the ships which are fun to play. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I'm in the wrong of course, cause, to quote @El2aZeR, "tHeSe pLaYeRs dEseRvE tO Be tReaTeD nIcELy" I saw that a few times today DD's hugging the arse's of bb's or cruiser for some reason like chasing a pot hyperglue or like some pet dog. also only managed 50% winrate todeh because i had 2 games were our team threw despite being in a good position to win (like our CV having his head up his behind). oh well.

Rosletyne Players 267 posts 14,161 battles Report post #11479 Posted July 30, 2019 That was first win of the day with Halloween camo, but still pretty good base experience. I don't actually know how good, since last update I never get any result screens and can't even view details from port. For most of the game I was achieving nothing as far as damage was concerned. What I did do was cap, recap, defend cap, block cap, while hugging islands for dear life in the middle of the epicenter. And I waited for my team to get rid of the pesky enemy Seattle doing the same to me. The enemy also had a Shimakaze and two battleships at the center, but they just could not force me out. In the end my patience was rewarded with two devastating strikes. The result was all the more impressive because the game started with a team kill. Our Minotaur objected to our Daring not rushing the epicenter by shooting him and becoming pink, and continuing to shoot at him until he had 2k HP left.. I'm sure he would have killed himself, but the enemy was a little bit faster. Our team was thus a ship down right from the start, and remained down until the very end of the game.

I have so much free XP I can get any ship I want. But I don't really care. I am trying to perfect my game. I had a game with @Bear_Necessities before a few days. That was my last game. It was so fun. Why? Because it was well played. He posted the replay. Watch it if you have the time. You will understand what I mean. This is where I get pleasure from.

I can't see an option to get it to do so and it feels like a good replay compared to others that have a video attached. I'm very proud of it! :) No. Videos are 'made' by relayswows.com from the replay files you submit. But only some of them - I've tried to find out how it chooses which ones, but there seems no rhyme or reason... except maybe loosely damage/achievement related (higher the damage the more likely you are to get a video done). I've uploaded 20 or so games for various reasons. Only 3 have ever been converted into videos (which I love because I like to be able to review my game play when I'm unable to use a PC with the client on... e.g. travelling). Spoiler Not that this is really necessary here but... some of my replays (most from previous patches).

[-TPF-] invicta2012 Players 6,382 posts 26,850 battles Report post #11496 Posted August 1, 2019 An enjoyable game of Aigle Aegis. Citadelling Furutakas never gets old. Not only all the dakka, but we won the game after all our ships had been sunk..... So this is also a +1 for the superb efforts of Transport Ship 4, who carried us all to victory and could teach many BB players a thing or two about effective tanking. https://replayswows.com/replay/58635#stats 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[INTRO] Hanse77SWE Players 1,518 posts 28,995 battles Report post #11500 Posted August 2, 2019 Ok, alot of things happened today so I'll try and keep it short. Got the "Kremlin". She's my 21st "silver" T10, number 242 in port and she will be my 308th played ship when I get around to play her. Used some FXP bc there is 50% off on upgrades this weekend and that does alot on a T10. Finished the french "snowflakes". 193 ships played and this also means that I picked up everything you could get for tokens at the armory. Now: A drink, some cartoons and then a nap.
