[S-E] FixCVs_Nautical_Metaphor Players 3,532 posts 29,234 battles Report post #16576 Posted February 7, 2021 Today, my greatest achievement was to play the game as intended by tanking over 1.5 million potential damage in a destroyer and surviving the battle, in order to complete Mission 5 Task 4 of the Yamamoto campaign. In a carrier battle no less. And in fact it was almost 1.7 mill. After several unsuccessful attempts in Mogador and other ships, Tashkent finally did the trick. https://replayswows.com/replay/122147#stats EDIT: I am actually a bit flummoxed by getting lots of likes for this and not laughs. I thought the whole endeavour was absurd. The task is ridiculous and a mark of poor game design, and my team mates hated me for what I did. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[CHEFT] ForlornSailor Players 7,374 posts 11,735 battles Report post #16579 Posted February 7, 2021 Im forcing a good T10 DD game upon myself and finally it worked. More thanks to our A-flank failing early on including our CV and the enemys actually pushing with 3 BBs and a DD through there. First time breaking 100k in a DD after the patch. First time above 45k to be precise. Our Halland did a great job, with actually managed to flood and burn a Kremlin down with wave after wave of torps. I had to push deeper then I actually liked to have but that bow tanking target just was too juicy. Happy with the endresult (for once in a T10 DD), 2 of 3 caps, 150k spotting and found the CV by accident in the end. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[CDD] Dutchy_2019 Players 1,927 posts 13,486 battles Report post #16581 Posted February 7, 2021 Decided to get the final bits of the Dockyard campaign done tonight on NA. Needed two final games in Randoms; the final game showed some incredibly bad DD play - even for someone with only 148 games in Randoms. The first of the two games was a nice one: 1900 Base XP in a Furutaka; matchmaking was somewhat borked 2 vs 3 BB's, 5 vs 4 DD's) due to a Fail Div on each side. Never thought I would get away with charging down the Fail Div enemy BB. Also not sure how the New Mexico ever got 1200 Base XP (I guess a lot of it was for killing the enemy BB, and kill stealing the Nürnberg kill). But I got in the end what I wanted: Hizen. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[NECRO] Deckeru_Maiku Beta Tester 6,636 posts 24,864 battles Report post #16582 Posted February 7, 2021 Had caught me nasty flu with fever and shiet for some four days, so I did my first weekends since monday today... Got 7 wins in 8 battles, but only really two worth mentioning The Krispy Kreme Daily... sooo... I got into a T6 battle with a weird - and I mean WEIRD - MM. Including T6 BBs, T5 BBs, T4 BB (!) and a T6 and a T4 DD on my team against two T6 and a T5 DD on the enemy team... I mean.. WTF???? So...Fault Line, Domination, with me on the north-eastern side, with New York, an Aoba and a V-170. The DD advanced too fast and to far and got blapped... The New York wasn't hurrying to support us, the Aobo hugged the island and waited for... well... probably enemies sailing into it's bow? So I did my best DD impersonation and circled and wiggled and dodged... which allowed me to get away with nearly 50% health still there. Which was okay-ish with a DD, a Nürnberg and the enemy New York sending shells in my direction. So a bit later when the enemies really came around the corner the Aoba had it's great appearance... which didn't exactly run as expected. It's torps failed to sink the Nürnberg, which on the other hand also missed the Aoba which then got blapped by the New Mexico... But finally the cavalry - aka my teams New Mexico - entered the fight. So I finally could turn to enter the fight myself, again. The Nürnberg got sunk first by the NM, then the two NMs started trading salvoes while I was allowed to do what Krispy Kremes usually do... shooting lots of HE at BBs It was slightly unfortunate that two more enemy BBs - an Iron Duke and a Ichizuchi - came around the corner... a bit later our New Mexico went Boom... then our Weser did a nice AP dump on the ItchySuzi, making it go Boom, too. Leaving me with a near dead New Mexico and a slightly better healthed Iron Duck. At 6km. Getting closer. Which isn't the best thing to do, when is not able to finish that half-dead Krispy Kreme fast enough. So manage to first set the Iron Duck on fire, then send some torps aways and even shoot a final bye-bye into the New Mexico... then my battle was done... unless... not for my torps, which nicely all hit that straight-sailing Iron Duck... and sank it. Took a couple minutes for the rest of my team to mop up the last enemies... only one lousy sinker... but 90k damage done and 4.6k PR The other one worth talking about was in my Prinz Eitel Friedrich with a secondaries skilled captain as the "high tier" BB. Got 3 sinkers.. a dumb cruiser, a dumb DD and a slightly not so dumb DD. And gathering some more damage after that. Yes, it ended with a win, too... 3 sinkers (one by the secondaries), 77k damage done, 2.9k PR... Secondary BBs unplayable? My a*se... 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two salvoes, none, zero. Conq-class citadel is somehow my damned archenemy.. After that great start it became a boring fiesta, hate Shards so damn much. Likely my most loathed map in the game.

Nice game in Co-op in Odin; my best game in Randoms was in Kotovsky. Being top tier helped a little, as well as an enemy that let me get away with murder. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[NECRO] Deckeru_Maiku Beta Tester 6,636 posts 24,864 battles Report post #16594 Posted February 9, 2021 Some battles just seem to be unwinnable... PotatoAlert told me it was a 48% vs. 45% winrates battle... with me in the 48% team. Still DDs was happy to play "sit in smoke and catch torpedoes", Cruisers doing the "spam HE at BBs and ignore the DDs the CV spots for us" and BBs doing the "stay away from the cap because it looks toxic" thingy... After spotting and damageing the enemy Sims (!) as my first target and shoving it away from a cap I went after that Normandie near the same cap next and got that "First Blood" award from it. And after that it was just trying to keep up with the enemy kill-wise, while having to watch the teammates falter all around me. Even doing 50% of my team's capping wasn't enough to carry it.. I failed... 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The torprisk from the bots is quite high, so getting too close is not really an option, so i stayed a bit further away. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
