I also find that people who say DD's are poor against bots in Scenarios just need to play them better and/or understand the rules of Bot logic vs how you play against a human! 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[-IAN-] IanH755 Players 2,100 posts 7,141 battles Report post #11603 Posted August 14, 2019 @Migantium_Mashum - I use the 8km with Torp acceleration for 6.4km @ 81kts which is perfect for Co-Op. Depending on the enemy ships (radar/hydro etc) I smoke up, preferably near an island, and shoot the first DD to bits, then use a single narrow spread for every bot ship that comes near your smoke (bots will head for you) but only torp at 1-4km range (so no reaction time at 81kts) and you get results like those above where I got 17 "hits" out of 25 torps where, of those 7 that "missed", every one actually hit already dead ships (killed by the first 3-4 torps) so all 25 actually hit! So no fancy 10km+ torps being wasted as most bots programming now auto-dodges those, hence the difference between knowing "how" to play vs bots instead of humans. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love getting 15 torpedoes into some unsuspecting BB or Cruiser.. I fire from around 5.8km.. the tricky part is holding station but the results can be spectacular..

More recently its been ranked sprint and some ranked. Ofc if you show weakness your clan/div mates will quickly pounce and you end up in random battles once more. ....... Tough unbelievable as it is, if I have to compare the average of the games when I played ranked to randoms then: Well obviously random is more fun because I have a divmate to bítch to. However that being said, high tier is pure static fapfest, utter explosive diarrhoea (yes, even compared to the Ebola that is ranked!). Naturally thats the results of the cachectic state gameplay state this game is in with CVs enforcing retardation of battleblops and the pathetic state of the BB population (read: players) to begin with. ........ ofc it could also be that ranked games dont last that long. If I have to watch them fap for minutes, when I can already tell its lost by minute 4, I get Hypernatraemia..... tldr: Ranked > randoms (unbelievable as it is). Teaching the next generation of WoWs players and outclubbing the beta ones: See that Tenryu? He had lost his engine. Waited with the repair (intentionally?). I broke his engine a second time; no HE cits tough. He didnt have last stand. He was also spotted broadside dead in the water; I ofc then called target on him. He still managed to teamkill in that short time frame he was alive though ... Think I taught him some virtues of the game (although if he recognised the lesson is doubtful): - hate the battlefuck. - get last stand. - p2w rulez. - dont teamkill. - shitcruisers. #shed.mov #welcometoponyville After the need to uninstall because I couldnt even get over 1k base on a win in a sealclubbing match, some actual high tier randoms ..... Last year I was grinding Monarch, amongst other things, and while those RN BBs are still retarded mongoloid fuckboats, the mere fact that you can actually get citadeled in one now actually re-sparks my interest. Ofc general consensus seems to be they got "nerfed to the ground", "citadel from every angle" etc, you know standard BB QQ. ...to which as a cruiser player I can literally only ever react with: you know whats a problem in Monarch? Conquerors, fapping own top tier BBs, [edited], Wooster and other cancerboats = the usual for everyone .......... NOT getting citadelled. Ofc its still very annoying (inaccurate as fúck) and dull to play ...... Our entire division got reported for literally carrying in the worst least influential T8 BB and T8 cruiser; supposedly by the enemy div. anchoring with CV and bringing JB and Benham with them .......... Complimented our CV tough, as rare as it is. I actually got the T5 in a container and did the grind in co-op. Ops then got me through T6 and 2 sprints (actually was nearly enough) were way more than enough for T7. So naturally, this is another potential grind. Unlocked the range mod because high tier matches ...... In fact as you gonna see, I played mainly either battlefucks or cosplay-battlefucks (havent really played any of them yet - and I got 3). In short: The whole fúcking enemy fleet just sat there in one big blob, waiting for anybody to suicide in like a fucktard. Our T10 fapmasters using their superior range ofc took the widest birth possible ..... Finally penetrating the out ring and the enforced retardation brought on by having a CV in the game, I was leading the assault on their midcap with T10 BB distant support (read fap-noises from the border) I finally had not 1, not 2, but 3 enemy shitcruisers (range mod! Hindenburg, double cit, Zao full hp yet, Edin, dead) rendered to me as a sacrifice + the potential of farming the p2w CV as a bonus on top ......... ....... and then the game ended because fapping all behind a single island is not good for cap points, now is it? See this is whats wrong with shticruisers. I was prepared, ready and about to delete this shitheaps at leisure with a 2 tier lower BB, now lets redo that scene with another class: -Finally, I am in a Chapa and I am between a Haragumo, a Zed and a Lightning! I am totally not getting torped to shít while also HE farmed to the max! -Omg, I am with a Kiev/Onionvoi between a Greater Cuntfürst, a Yamato and Monarch; what am I ever gonna do? Except, just turn around/smoke and he-farm and torp them while at it? Yeah ...... Also played the Yoshino. I like it, its quite powerful; as can be expected since its a p2w cosplay BB. Teams are still are liability tough. These 12 seconds ultra long range shells are insane! Havent gotten very lucky with fires in her yet, and still got consistent results ...... Not strictly a cosplay-battlefuck, Moskva was a BC before they were a thing. Was curious how the AP would do; its useless against (cits of) anything above lower tiers IJN BBs at ~12 km usually, but it can actually cit those BCs if they misplay. One thing I noticed tough, just like with BBs cruisers simply dont have the HE damage to deal with yet another high HP + heal class. You can only enlist and hope to get lucky in the shitty fire lottery; which is ofc largely inconsequential in the end. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I then went to the enemy cap and held off their points tally to give us a win by 60 points.. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I took the first cap, I killed the Mogador and the Kitakaze on a 1 vs 2 fight. I torped them both and then I gunned them down. I took the second cap. And we are two ships ahead and two caps green and one contested. And then what? All my team dies without killing anything. Or even damaging seriously. Their Alaska radared me and they focus fired me into a nice BBQ. Spoiler I saved my star and on to random. A good random day. Spoiler 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did 2 today, and like always I really tried. FDG took a whole 15 minutes just to leave spawn. When I turned away because I had to repair because of getting focused, he took great efforts to keep me between him and the enemy. When he would by accident get flanking shots and broadsides, he repositioned so all he could shoot were the bow of BBs. When I was 1 vs 4 he took even great care to not accidentally spot the enemies on the other side of the island where he was hiding. I was asking myself more than once, why the Musashi is not already rushed and shot to shít from close range, but that could actually win the game ...... And that farming useless damage for an entire game was good enough for 2nd place. And thats also no matter the general BB populace, german BB drivers still a category of its own. And then you have you fellow DD players. I really, really tried ....... Just some highlights: Keeping out of the for-free-cap on North - giving the enemy 50 pts for free / smoking the enemy up / not spoting / team damaging the other DD / sitting in smoke broadside to the most obvious torps ever, being told there are torps, and the only reason he didnt eat 4-5 of those torps was because he was already dead after 1. And thats just 1 DD player, unfortunately there were 2 on the team. Really tried, nearly killed their Lion, nobody finished him of. Nearly killed their Donskoi, but Benham refused to use guns and maybe divert some fire away from me (only chance we had). He even refused to use guns when the Donkoy spotted and happily farmed him with guns himself via radar. I even radared, shot and got their 1st Kita killed in a daring push. Then later on killed the other with a precise salvo while it continued to farm me for free. And yet, its not enough - it never is. Yoshino - might end up liking that one more than Zao. I rally hope Conkek is worth it. Its allegedly way more accurate than the derpfest leading up to it. Last RN BB I genuinely enjoyed? Iron Duck even uptiered because It could actually hit things on relevant combat distances ...... Until then more pain and suffering. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just so full of humans sailing Torp boats (myself included as it's the only way to get XP in 90% of games), meaning a BB gets 4-5 salvos away at most before the game is over in 3min 47 sec with 2 full health BB's left alive when the enemy team hits 0 points! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
