Luckily he played quite potato-ish even though he had quite impressive stats on the account and on that ship... still he didn't sink me and lost 21 planes in my vicinity (most of those weren't fighters either, but bombers and torpedo bombers...) - alas, he also went for some Graf Spees near me... In the end I DID get sunk, because two Spees, one DD and my Dunke had to hold a flank against 6 enemy ships... I didn't do any sinker, but 60k damage, while the kills were done by those around me... but I did a shipload of tanking before I finally went down in a blaze of glory... And we did win the battle... Didn't get that lucky in my Normandie, though... pushing ahead worked nicely for me, but the potatoes all around me decided to throw their virtual lives away achieving nothing. Add to that a CV who was happily attacking fresh enemy ships instead of going after nearly dead targets - for his skill might have been enough, while he only fed planes to the targets he chose - and even sinking 4 enemy ships, doing 74k damage (2.6k PR) did not prove enough for a win... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think 75% or more of those I've either witnessed or participated in were in this mode. The rare ones, in my experience, are when done by the same team: I've seen three or four of them and got one myself, although it was back in RTS times with Hiryu or Shokaku. Salute.

[SCRUB] WolfGewehr Weekend Tester, In AlfaTesters 2,844 posts 11,496 battles Report post #16429 Posted January 26, 2021 Finished Kansas after 17 battles. In the end, she's still a pain in as$ if things go down, but otherwise I learned to "not hate her". On the other hand I have no plans to go back to her either lul. Minnesota, although I first thought to be the most pointless ship in the pointless branch, seems to be better than I initially thought thanks to the 6th slot dispersion upgrade and 38 mm plating. We'll see. Nevertheless, also she'll be just a speedbump on this speedy journey to Vermöönt. Spoiler 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amagi game our team was somewhat OP with 3 really good players, so I had not much to do. cheers for the carry there @Johnny_Moneto (I was actually playing complete stock Amagi - my first game ever in her :D) Highlight game was on Sleeping Giant - rushed the middle with Massa, slapped the cruisers in A, slapped the BBs pushing our homecap on the other side, capped C and then took down the CV, that was sitting there. felt good :D 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, I did not carry at all, I merely secured some low HP kills. One my most one sided line-ups in Ranked. Our team 3* >60%, 3* 50-60%. The other team only 1 guy above 50%.

[NECRO] Deckeru_Maiku Beta Tester 6,636 posts 24,864 battles Report post #16446 Posted January 27, 2021 Business as usual... Starting with the Ranger, getting a T8 battle and a mediocre team - which usually to me playing also only kinda meh-ish... - and had to see them wither away around me, while I tried to achieve something against small clusters of T6/7/8 ships sailing close enough to support each other. So I only managed only two sinkers - just pre-damaged ships and worth nothing - and 54k damage, but I was not able to carry the battle, so it ended in a loss. Just proof that I'm a utter potato in CVs. I might be able to achieve good results sometimes - or more often - but can't support a bad play enough to win against a slightly better team. Might also come from the fact, that I still do not really enjoy playing the reeworked CVs, even when I have a good battle... still I will conclude my research... Apart from this I got the usual mix of good and bad battles... I had an okay-ish battle in my DeadEye Thunderer, did some 91k damage and sunk two enemy ships, but again was not able to carry enough to win the battle... even the player in our team who managed 4 kills was not able to do that though... Battles in my Isokaze, Yahagi and Yubari ended with me getting blapped by the Italian BB from Hell - Dante A. Not a nice experience. Considering that WG thinks that more of these ships will be good for the game makes me - again - wonder how many of the devs really play the game... in anything but BBs... or CVs... probably none... My Ishizuchi on the other hand worked okay-ish against the Dante A. I didn't finish it off, but I got a poor little DD and this and 57k damage was enough to do my part in the win... In the Dunkerque it went even better. Even though I ended in a nasty T8 battle again. But I got lucky and had the better team, so I didn't had to make up for other players mistakes and just "do my thing" which usually - in the Dunkerque - "ignore that it's two T7 BBs you're towards straight ahead and just shell them with AP until you're in secondary guns range and then shoot some more.." which lead to me getting a nice tanking score, 2.7k PR, 71k damage and two sinkers (only one of those BBs though, the second - earlier - sinker was once more a DD) and a win... I also did battles in my Hill - 49k damage, 1 sinker, 2.5k PR - and in my T61 - 111k damage, 2 sinkers (two BBs that thought themselves immune against torpedoes) and 4.99k PR which rounded up my day nicely... All in all, the skill reeework still feals quite unbalanced and sh*tty, but I don't expect WG to act on it and change a thing about it... If the italian BBs turn as toxic as the Dante A. seems, I probably take a really looong break and get my daily dose of frustration in WoT maybe... 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I popped hydro in my hindenburg, sailed into them and killed them ... with torpedoes.

Estaca_de_Bares Players 1,534 posts 25,837 battles Report post #16450 Posted January 28, 2021 My 6th Die Hard. The red Venezia, seeing that the battle was already lost, decided to go for the YOLO charge hiding in his smoke, so I approached him, shot down his spotter then did a U turn. When the smoke faded a HE salvo destroyed his launcher so his only option was to become the torpedo, but the relative speed in the collision wasn't enough to sink me (besides, I activated my last repair and was holding the damage control party in preparation for such a contingency): Spoiler Since people are becoming nostalgic due to the skill rework, getting it brought back to my mind my other Die Hards, or at least the ones worth remembering: my first one was with König, there's one with Hiryu to a T8 Fubuki, and another very similar to the current one with Yugumo when grazed at the stern by a Shimakaze. Salute. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
