[CHEFT] ForlornSailor Players 7,374 posts 11,735 battles Report post #16278 Posted January 13, 2021 After the game tortured me in ranked today with 29% CVs, afk BBs and A-hull DD on my team, while giving the enemys try hard CVs every time, it decided at some point, that I suffered enough. Then I got free wins and all of a sudden each salvo deals mega damage. Game for rank 1 - I didnt even play my best game of the day but yea When the game decides, you are allowed to have hits like that - and almost every salvo looked like this. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Finally... 50% winrate in randoms today and not much to brag about... except... Taking my Minekaze out for a ride, and what a ride it was... it started being pushed into a T7 battle. Ah well, Minekaze... they probably thought, What can this puny T5 ship do against me, a mighty T7 BB... Well... Like... shoving 4 torps into Your broadside and taking the last HP left on Your poor Ducky of Yorck and sinking You? Hrhrhrhr I only did measely 19k damage total in that battle. Most of that against that poor helpless straightsailing already badly damaged BB... and still two more ships got sunk by my "puny" Minekaze.. And people fear the Kamikaze? Hah!, I say... I ain't even got a 19pt captain in that Minekaze (only a 10 pts or so one)... Ina battle on more even ground - like as a T5 DD in a battle with some T4 ships, including two CVs per team - I also had a nice battle in my Hill. I had played it quite a bit today in CoOp for missions, so taking her into a random battle and getting a good MM made it feel like CoOp with slightly better bots *cough* One of the two Langley players in my team had written in chat that he had only played it only in CoOp before and this was his first random battle in it and he hoped to not f*ck up... well... it didn't really matter... Yeah, I'm bragging... But I kinda think it's deserved... got 70k damage done and 4 kills done and a 4.5k PR. And probably was one of two players carrying the team to the win... So.. don't let us talk about my other battles today 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And it is good you got it before it was gone. I would also suggest the Agir later on. It tends to have a better accuracy and higher average damage. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the recommendation of Agir - I've not heard that much about it since it was introduced. Kinda surprised at the better accuracy - Alaska seems pretty good in that department. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Below is one of my more recent games stats and if you do the math it is 50.8% accuracy. In that game there were 7 citadels 4 on the Hindenburg 2 on the FDR and 1 on the Stalingrad all were made at ranges above 15km. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[CHEFT] ForlornSailor Players 7,374 posts 11,735 battles Report post #16284 Posted January 14, 2021 So I actually went to check out silver in Ranked, now that we are approaching last week of this season. What a hilarious show it is! full broadside targets, DDs that I just rush down with my BB, its amazing. On the other hand ofc the incredible throws, like I leave my team with 2 caps, 900 points and a 5vs3 situation. We lost. Its actually hard to throw such a position, since you actually.. dont have to do anything. Anyway. Back to BBs because they care about nothing and this happens: Enemy DD thinks, its smart to gunboat: Spoiler Anyone knows that feeling, when your shells are in the air, that ill will be an awesome hit? I always take a screenshot a moment before the shells make contact: Spoiler Anyone knows that feeling, when your shells are in the air, that ill will be an awesome hit?

I must say, I didn't expect to Warspites to burn that nicely (mine usually doesn't ) 1 hour ago, Molly_Delaney said: Even more amazing my Karma is still 2 Hah! Even managed to get +2 Karma from my teammates for a battle in my Furios today... So now I got +1 Karma (for a while, I guess...) And everybody wondering how 0 +2 make 1... well... I guess one of the two DDs (a Maas and an Öland (!)) which I sunk wasn't so happy about my gameplay... As Y'all can guess by me mentioning playing my Furious, my daily Ranger battle was a win. It was a nasty battle though. T6 battle and I got a skilled team, which lead to enemy ships getting sunk so fast, that I nearly hadn't much chances to do much... I got DD sunk, a total of 19k damage and only an "average" 1.3k PR... well, at least a win... That Furious battle was quite different.... T8 battle with only a few T6s thrown in. So at the start I went for spotting enemy DDs, but my team wasn't that eager to sink them. When the enemy team was ahead caps 2:1 and ships 10:8 I changed into "get at least some damage" mode... Shortly after that our right flank broke, while our left flank managed to rout their opponents, and pushed in the middle to engage the enemy... as we lost sight of the Öland I ran north along the western map edge, when I got the message that my ship was spotted. So I knew where that Öland was and set out to get it... which I did after one attack with rockets and an unaimed torpedo* In the middle my teammates had taken position and I went spotting for them, directing fire on enemy ships down on HP. And shortly later were ahead on Caps, points and ships left... So I took some time to go hunting for the Maas, and managed to it too... Got me a "GJ Furious" from my team, 57k damage, 2 sinkers and a 2.5k "SuperUnicum" (???) PR... With my Yahagi I ended in a T6 battle and had to some tough kiting, when I had to retreat from a cap that my team couldn't hold. Luckily our Ryujo decided too late to retreat and did a bit nice damage against the two Warspites chasing me... Out of that (too) late retreat evolved some heavy tanking, while I was free to pepper those Warspites with HE... Shortly the Ryujo went down, I managed to sink one of them, while the other got sunk by one my teammates... and after that there was a race for sinking the last surviving enemy ship - a DD.. I managed to hit it, but the battle ended with a win before it could get sunk... 51k (mostly fire) damage... 1 sinker... 2.7k (superunicum???) PR I had also good battles in my Anshan, Sims and Krispy Kreme (with wins) and a "just for the lulz" loss in my Icarus (in a T8 with a T8 CV against me) in which I spend the first 7 minutes spotting for my teammates on the right flank on Two Brothers (standard battle), which did some nice shooting, but wasn't really eager to push, while our other flank got annihilated... Seeing that and knowing how it would end, I decided to go a bit yolo, slipping between the enemy ships in their cap and east of it until I got the enemy CV - a Shokaku - in my sights. Seems he expected his teammates to finish me, but with some skill, lots of luck and wiggling of my behind I was able to get close enough to the Shokaku to release the Kraken my torpedoes against it. And, damn has that Icarus loads of torpedoes... yeah, a sh*tty 7 km range, but, hey, I was close enough to make that not matter anymore... I fired my smoke after releasing the torps (to avoid get sunk before they hit) but still got rewarded with a really nice loud BOOOM! when that Shoggi ate a couple torps... like 6 or so?! When my smoke dissolved there were two cruisers and a BB heading in my direction, like 7 or 8 km away... and yeah, of course they did sunk me... but it was worth it... The battle ended shortly after with the enemy taking our cap... So.. 69k damage done... 1 sinker (T8 CV ) and a (well deserved) 3.5k (SUPERUNICUM) PR Disclaimer: the PR I mention is the "WoWS S&N" PR * Unaimed torpedoes.. when going with torpedo planes that drop only two torps total it sometimes helps to not to wait to get the torpedo spread marker getting too tight when going for a DD. They usually EXPECT the torps to come tightly against them. So sending them at odd angles sometimes (!) proves as a problem for some (!) DD players... like that Öland... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
