[CAIN] Jethro_Grey Players 5,207 posts 25,733 battles Report post #16411 Posted January 25, 2021 Reached Rank1 (76.5%WR) in Bronze on my alt-account yesterday. Failed to qualify for silver due to the fact that i do not have any TIX ships on that particular account...should have chosen the other one. Reached Rank 1 (67.8% WR) in Bronze yesterday on my main-account - for the second time as i didn't play qualifications the last time - and qualified for Silver league. Which means, all the potatos are already in Gold league... Also, got carried today to victory by a 42.43% WR player, who played 1136 random battles and has a average damage of 5850k damage, and a grand total of 143 kills and does 300 average XP per game. In a show of perfect timing, he left the island he was sitting all game long, ~ 2.5 mins before the timer ran out to kill the last remaining cruiser who made the mistake of showing himself. I hope he manages to get to TIX and X fast, cause he rocks his TVIII ships. P.S. Don't ask for his stats in them, cause that's where it gets depressing... 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[NECRO] Deckeru_Maiku Beta Tester 6,636 posts 24,864 battles Report post #16413 Posted January 25, 2021 Soo... not sure how the new captain skills are supposed to make medium tier CV lives harder... can't say I notice any difference on either side - CV or surface ship... Daily Ranger battle... I ended up in a good team but a T8 battle. So getting things done was a bit problematic... except for some spotting and a bit molesting of DDs I didn't manage to achieve much.. only 20k damage, no sinkers... but a win... ...which lead to the CV battle 2 - Furious. T7 this time, with a nice bunch of T6 and T5 mixed in. So more targets, easier to attack... and even though I didn't sink any of them - because as soon they took enough damage from me some ally blasted them to the bottom of the sea - at least i gathered 68k damage done in the win... Apart from these, the only battle worth to mention was the one in my Orion (see above). 51 plane kills was a wee bit excessive, I guess... that Rhein and Hosho really seemed to have fallen in love with me. Ok, I *was* kinda trying to invade their private sphere... but that was a bit too much. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Figment Beta Tester 3,801 posts 10,499 battles Report post #16414 Posted January 25, 2021 22 hours ago, Figment said: Had a nice evening in ranked. Started at rank 8 this evening, now rank 2. So, my pre-captain skills rework secondary build captain for Yamato (YES, I KNOW. I thought it'd be funny. It can be hilarious, but so hard to reach those good situations due to being such a prime HE target. Hence had a huge WR deficit (25% WR in randoms). Could be great in some matches (especially in ranked in comparison), but could do nothing at all in other games and usually couldn't quite carry despite regular top 2 score (DD always virtually always saved the star by a few hundred exp.). Kept going up and down between rank 7 and 10. But wasn't going to spend dubloons on a reset if a rework was coming, so made due. So changed my captain load out with the new system. Currently running a 14 pt commander with: So, I present my last result for the night: I'd say it went well. :) 20210125_012728_PJSB018-Yamato-1944_37_Ridge.wowsreplay After falling back from Rank 2(0) to Rank 5(0) with lots of stars not saved by a hair, I had a good run and ranked out. Think the change in captain built made a difference? Hmm. So not bad, from 10(0) saturday to ranking out today. Strangely I went through bronze and silver this fast as well. The change in captain skills used on my Yammy really make a huge difference. :/ Which tbh, kind of saddens me, it means stock ships or "improper builds" were at a huge disadvantage for a long time. It does suggest the need for a captain skill rework if those made those other things more viable as alternate playstyles. I'd say the Fire Prevention and Emergency Repairs are what did the trick, since I rarely burned out anymore. I mean, I don't go from a 50% WR or worse to a 90% WR by getting better over night. This clearly was a problem with how I specced the tool and I don't really like that idea. Alternatively, it could mean a lot of players were leaning on major captain skill crutches that were removed from them with the last patch as they had to specialize, rather than be jacks of all trades in some departments. I think a lot of people took Dead-Eye, which is great if not spotted, but useless if spotted. And in these small matches, you're more often spotted than not. Which would give me a perk advantage for not using it. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Estaca_de_Bares Players 1,534 posts 25,837 battles Report post #16415 Posted January 26, 2021 Qualification done and Gold reached. It took twelve battles today (five with Minotaur, seven with Somers), four of them lost and one star saved. The teams behaved as teams for the most part unlike during the weekend, which was a very welcome change. As for the matches themselves... well, none of them was particularly memorable. My hope for getting the rewards at Gold has been restored, though, as long as I don't drag it again until the infamous S-day twins. Salute. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
