[YEET] COPlUM Players 3,009 posts 12,083 battles Report post #16352 Posted January 20, 2021 Match without DDs or CV Smashed my hindenburg into a rock to keep the cap contested. Half their team was on the other side of the rock, my support was half our team, including a GK division sitting in J10, humping the edge of the map. I told them if you stay there, this match is a waste of my time, I will yolo the other side of this rock, I will get my damage and kills, you will be blind, you will get farmed to death, I will watch and laugh as I drink my beer. So I did and a got a ton of hatemail Can't tell if what I did was good or bad. Can things be both good and evil? This was it. *edit one of them sent me what appears to be a manifesto of sorts, it says, among other things, I am "forever his greatest enemy" I said please no, please be my friend. This was the last communication 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achievement #2 : Not coming last after being disconnected. Apparently, the reconnection took so long the battle had progressed to a night time engagement: May be I should have equipped my Edinburgh with radar? Reconnected again and took part (kind of) in the battle once daylight had returned. It's kind of funny that this was enough for the 'Get ribbons' & 'Earn base XP' tasks. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A good game with good players on both sides so I'm not hiding names. Monarch had no chance really of catching a DD with rpf and 5.4km detect range, but he tried. Also got 2 containers! another first!

It actually came in handy Spotted the Yorck at 8km the VERY MOMENT he beached himself, broadside on right in front of me issou Also got to do a drive by on the Iowa. Even tho it happened point blank, I was still shocked >Citadels If I waited a second longer I probably would've been able to score more cits and kill him. Instead I potatoed out of panic, and as I went past him his rear turret finished me off. Oh well Still got him tho 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Team was good, at least as far as I saw, but so was enemy's and thus it was a close match. Our GK div put up some nice show as well.

Still, even with only 26k damage done I managed 2 sinkers and a win... still have to think about the captain skills a wee bit more, I guess... I went really unconventional now with my Marblehead. I used to take my Wooster captain (pretty obvious choice), but now i take Ovechkin, thanks to improved Turret traverse and SE (dont care how its called now - itll be SE forever ) This doesnt really fit with any other techtree Cruiser, so thats why i used my DD captain. Dont need the 21 pts, not sure what id take anyway. 2 for DE beause what else, and last 2 maybe LS and EL. Top Grade gunner is quite good, procs all the time, because concealment is bad, and range is also low. Park at islands and hope, enemies are spotted behind said island = profit Anyway, this weeks ranked: Should have been better, but for some reason, after the patch was installed, i got AFK/Yolo bots again (guess they woke up, because WGC auto update) and so i just default lost a couple of games. 1 Loss was my DD, who decided not to shoot a <4k HP lightning (he had 7k or more himself) and instead torp him I was facing an Amagi and a Kansas close quarter. Managed to kill the Amagi, and already had 55k chunked from Kansas, when points ticked to 1000. I was moving around the Kansas while he beached, and if lightning would have been dead i would have just finished it.... whats more fascinating even, that the Benson gunboated an Amalfi AND a Bismarck, but cant shoot a DD... wtf is wrong in their heads? Some wires touching each other to cause permanent shortfuse or what? He tried to be so smart, wanted to get into my broadside and torp me point blank... well, he still fucked it up 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SCRUB] WolfGewehr Weekend Tester, In AlfaTesters 2,844 posts 11,496 battles Report post #16366 Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) Took Kansas now under work, all games in division. Rather meh ship must say, bearable if team doesn't collapse. Well, to Vermont we slowly go. At least the solo Shiki games went oddly nice. Kudos to our DD's. They let me disengage from a pushing Tsun/Yoshi, as I was the lone non-DD on the flank. Though must say Yamato-class nicely turds on a pushing Tsun anyways, so there was that also. After the enemy retreated, I turned around and projected some fire first into the Repu who pushed middle, and then set direction down the flank. In process I gave fire support against the Thunderers now around 22 km away, chunking them to help the other flank as they had no BB anymore. Spoiler E: Spoiler Afterwards I noticed that match was my 4000th BB game + 3300th IJN game in Randoms Interestingly, for years my BB-% has been around 56%, but Japan's share of my games has dropped from ~75% to 46%.

[NECRO] Deckeru_Maiku Beta Tester 6,636 posts 24,864 battles Report post #16367 Posted January 22, 2021 Sooo... with all them skill changes and whatnots I did most of my games in CoOp today... Still had some time for my usual suspects: Ranger (with some new skills to test) of course in a T8 battle... so, had a slow start, trying to the DDs and waited for those T8 ships to get a bit roasted before I would go after them. Luckily that didn't take that long, as my team was a lot better then our helpless opponents. So I managed 59k damage, two sinkers (1 DD and 1 BB) and a 3.1k PR in the win... didn't notice much difference to battles before the "skill update" Got a horrible team when doing the battle in the Furious and didn't play that good either... loss... But Krispy Kreme - even with the extremely nerfed range - still can rock it... okay, I got torped by a Yahagi... but only after I sank a Normandie, taking a cap, and gathered 56k damage... Got a 3k PR and a win... 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But even more amazin were the other 2 DDs, that were around him, didnt understood how I was able to kill the yolo emilio and also died in my hydro, while they both smoked up and tried to farm me. wow. 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[H_FAN] Gnirf Players 3,293 posts 67,362 battles Report post #16372 Posted January 23, 2021 Have no played that much, used the reset button and have taken out a few, König captain, Lütjens on Hindenburg (as adviced in my request thread), and the RN regrind captains, halsey. On the regrind part I had a few mediocre Monarch games but this one really felt good, some really good players and some... I think that Monarch while not at all good is not the garbage ship many seems to think, use EL to switch between AP and HE and sometimes the gods are with you, reload is pretty good. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[NECRO] Deckeru_Maiku Beta Tester 6,636 posts 24,864 battles Report post #16375 Posted January 23, 2021 Okay, tested new captain skill setups after getting wo of my 19 pt captains to 21 pts... But first the daily CV battle featuring Ranger... again I got the better team. Again I was able to harass/spot/damage the enemy DDs so that my team got the initiative. And again it ended with a win, even though I only did 34k damage. Still it was enough to mop up three ships and to end with 2.7k PR The Furious ended with a T8 battle and potato team (Bismarck and Cleveland sailing the Channel on Two Brothers Domination mode and of course managing not really much, except for leaving one flank outnumbered and then faltering). It didn't help that the enemy team played more coordinated, keeping close enough to support each other and restricting attack lanes for my planes... So a loss and sh*tty stats for me in that... I gave my Normandie captain a "survival" skill set and got rewarded with a nice battle in which it really helped me to survive and do 77k damage and a sinker in a win. No CVs, but probably some enemy BBs with DeadEye, which kept them out of the battle too long and then outnumbered... seems this skill will be a nice potato indicator... Of course I tried it myself... on my Thunderer. Got the "Tears of Cruisers" map with Epeencenter mode. While the DDs of both teams hurried in the middle to sink each other or get sunk from outside of the circles, the BBs started a kind of ring-around-the-rosie sailing around the circles... in the same direction... So making use of some nice islands on the way I was able to make good use of the 10% less deviation and peppered each enemy ship I got in my sights with HE. Too bad that our CV had sunk about 5 minutes into the battle... at least the enemy CV was kinda useless, so when we managed to get a bit ahead BB-wise and with two of our team - including your's truly - going more middle-ish while still being undetected and outside of the detection range, the end came fast... 154k damage and 2 sinkers was more than what I do in average in Thunderer... add the win to it and it seems the DeadEye skill stills on it *cough* On the other hand I had a 122k damage, no sinkers lost battle in my Yoshino, which was lost the moment that our BBs decided use captains with DE skill on ships that aren't made for it... As they also made the mistake to position themselves behind islands without any chance to shoot at any enemies the battle was decided early, which made me go for s bit of a yolo ride, to get atleast a bit damage done... didn't last long... Oh.. and Mikasa with the secondaries skills is nice... took a 4 minute wait in the queue to get in a battle, but I got rewarded with a win and 39k damage done (mostly secondaries..), while the sinkers were done by DDs mostly.. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
