[CDD] Dutchy_2019 Players 1,927 posts 13,486 battles Report post #16651 Posted February 12, 2021 Forgot to mention: Yesterday I accidentally ended up with a no flags and 2pt captain (thankfully with modules installed) Smaland in a T8-T10 Randoms game, actively taking part in the game, not getting killed, and not coming in last in the team. And that was with TWO enemy radar cruisers covering the cap on my side. It was a complete ROFLstomp in our teams favour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spoiler Then some Shikishima phun again to end the day. Was lost game from rather early on, but got to have some fun anyways, so eh. Spoiler Got to blast the CV off the water like in previous match yay. Last salvo was some 27k blind, after the Midway went dark. Spoiler 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[NECRO] Deckeru_Maiku Beta Tester 6,636 posts 24,864 battles Report post #16658 Posted February 12, 2021 Had one of those days that define me as a 54% average potato player... Started - as usual recently - with the Ranger. Got a T8 battle - with nearly only T7 and T8 ships, so no easy target for me - and didn't manage my best battle. Still I did a bit of spotting and harassing and didn't f*ck up totally. Nonetheless the team carried me to the win... no stats, as they were too depressing Fast forward to the next battle: Furious... for once I got a T6 battle in it. And quite contrary to the Ranger battle, this time I was able to pull my weight (or whatever that's supposed to be) by taking two enemy DDs and doing a nice amount of damage against some BBs going boldly all alone where no BB should go alone... so, win, 2 sinkers and 98k damage... Had another bad battle in my Zara (well, in fact some more bad battles, but only one bad one worth mentioning) in which my only positive result was pi**ing off the enemy T8 CV, so he took me as his main target, wasting lots of time and 25 planes on me, not keeping me from capping a cap - no DD battle... yay! - and at least achieving a kill... If my team hadn't consisted of ~45% we might even have had a chance to embarrass the everflying shiet out of that CV... so it was just another loss... Fun fact: three of 24 players in that battle had a total or/and ship winrate above 50%. Me and two players on the enemy team. Not that CV though Fun fact too: just when that CV lined up some planes to sink me, I got sunk by a Neptune from half an map away... At least I have my trusty Normandie, which rarely disappoints me... and this time that old horse behaved like a racing horse (in a T7 battle). First I pushed like an idiot into a cap, as my teammates on that flank didn't really show any signs wanting to advance. I even got shot at by an allied New York... luckily with HE... and didn't get a "sorry" or whatever... probably took me for an enemy ship?!? But after I blasted an enemy Cruiser at that cap - and started capping - they crept out of their holes and tried to follow me... well... It's way too much fun go hunting DDs with a BB. So I pushed ahead, ignoring a Fiji on my left, who smoked up allowing me to go invisible. DD sat in smoke ahead of me, so I just had to watch for torps. Of course it helps a bit that I have a few battles experience in DDs myself *cough* so that poor sod in the Blysckrawizschki-whatever probably didn't expect me to actively HUNT him. When his torps missed me, he tried his guns on me... with AP... which wasn't that good a choice, as I had HE loaded and 12 guns turned into his direction... After that it was only mopping up and sinking two more enemies who had be softened up already, before I lost my last 278 hp against one of the two surviving enemy ships... with the battle ending 30 seconds later with a win... So 4 sinkers, 90k damage, 3.5k PR and a win... nice battle... 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[YEET] COPlUM Players 3,009 posts 12,083 battles Report post #16660 Posted February 13, 2021 Playing one game in Jaguar, getting chased by a single squadron of Ranger planes for nine minutes, doing 1.065 damage to planes, getting one plane-shot-down ribbon and scrapping my plans for starting to play French destroyers as they are the most cancerous thing I have experienced in this game so far, you are literally just a human toy for the CV player to mess with, there is no escape, he can chase you around the map for 20 minutes and you will never kill one of his planes. Realizing this is, apprently, the French DD experience, saved me a lot of time, I can pretend these ships do not exist. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Killed the Mino, then pushed the DDs away and helped to deal with the Thunderers. Spoiler I tried to do those 215k in BB/205k in CA in a single match.

[VIBES] tocqueville8 Players 3,717 posts 39,407 battles Report post #16670 Posted February 14, 2021 Slow start - strong kiting phase (fortunately the BBs focused my teammates instead) - good clutch plays towards the end. I am especially delighted, since the New Orleans was my first T7 cruiser and possibly the ship where my aiming improved the most, so the RB regrind is proving very nostalgic 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[YEET] COPlUM Players 3,009 posts 12,083 battles Report post #16672 Posted February 14, 2021 Seeing a decent player forced to "snipe" in a massachusetts and realizing that in this meta, massa is no longer a god among mortals, it is no longer the undisputed king of T8. Almost bought it for 12K doubloons. Dodged a bullet The best heal, fastest turrets, best torpedo belt, best secondaries and impossible to hit citadel doesn't matter, if you're literally the only ship pushing, you still melt. So you're forced to sit back where your best T8 in the game is the worst T8 in the game. It's still king in T8 ranked I guess. North Carolina used to be the massachusetts for poor people, now it's the massachusetts for people who want to actually hit the stuff they shoot at. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
