Hi All,
As I liked reading funny/heart-rending stories in the previous topic on "Killer Whale" I thought I'd start one for Raptor Rescue with my own story -
Despite doing a fantastic job in the T6 Premium Molotov (check those Citadels out baby!), which was mainly due to so many broadside IJN cruisers, and carrying my team so hard my back still aches, we lost out on a 5 star win by 1 second as our Leander, which stuck next to the Raptor through-out the game, despite being told to speed up at least 3-4 times AND SAYING WILCO, decided too late to try and accelerate past the Raptor in the last 1km-ish and failed, allowing the Raptor to cross into the exit zone barely 1 second before him.
2nd game - I did absolute garbage, I got torped by the very 1st DD (idiot Ian), friendly torped by 2 different friendly ships (no damage but very distracting) and got 15K and 1 kill - Still came 5th in a complete loss -what a bloody team!!!!!
3rd game - did "OK" in a Buddy, waiting for my Molotov to come off cool down.
4th game - Molotov's Back BABY!!! A very good team performance and I didn't feel like I'd had to carry this one, despite hitting a better XP than the 1st game, really enjoyed this game.
The mission felt extremely easy compared to Killer Whale (which means I'll be playing more of it) which I think was mainly due to the lack of bot DD's I'd guess (only 4-6? in the whole mission) and the general lack of enemy ships to sink (ran out of Bots by the end a few times) so I think this could do with a slight tweak with the "last" attack (2x BB and 2x Cruiser) having another 2-3 T4-6 cruisers added.
