Same.  It's currently rusting in my port...until I get home, that is  



Waiting for the game tonight that is a 12vs12 all Tirpiz battle.  


It'll be 11v11 Tirpitz, with one guy bringing along a T3 BB div mate and a Pensacola on the other side.

A new BB released, with a shitload of players that haven't mastered it yet and don't have a feel for how it drives? I'll be in my DD.

I'm stuck in the hospital and the internet sucks too much to play or even DL the update.



So how is the Terp?

What  fuckgin tard fest tonight.  Game after game of just complete fucking morons suicide grinding the shit out of things, or guys that joined the game today, bought the Tirpitz, and just sail lazily up the middle of the map with not a clue about what they are doing.

So I thought, why not try the ranked mode.  That should help, right?  Holy shit it was 10x worse than pubs.  You would think if 7 guys decide to play a RANKED BATTLE they might know the basic concept of working together as a team and focusing fire.  NOPE!   Go do what we want, speed grind etc.   Holy crap what a joke.

Game might be on the downhill slide already on day 1 of launch with the speed grinding already taking over and ruining game play.

Hmmmm... Played a ranked game in my Cleveland and we grouped up and did some solid focus fire. They had an extra DD and tried to flank us, if they would have done a suicide torp run on us... probably all their torps would have landed.

Bought the Murm and like it a lot, I have 3 Omahas in my port now.
Solid 60k dmg my first game in the Murm-

Click To View Spoiler
Later had a 105k dmg game in the Murm with no torp hits.

Finally upgraded a bunch of the ships after buying some port slots- New Mexico, Aoba, Mutski and Pensacola. Not a huge fan on the Aoba or Mutski but I think I just have to change up my play style a bit.
Thursday night/Friday morning was just crazy for me.

Played lights out in my Clemson, 10 torp hits, 109 shell hits, for a 110k dmg game.

Click To View Spoiler
Got detonated by a single torp in my Wyoming for +41k dmg....


14 citadels out of 40hits, died 6mins into the round, still managed to be top of my team.

Click To View Spoiler

Rained some HE fire down on the enemy, 184hits with 13fires doing 34k fire dmg. Did 73k dmg total that game in my Marble.

Click To View Spoiler
Finish off a Phoenix at half health that was not visible in our cap. He just killed a teammate and I had 10secs until my guns reloaded, he dropped out of sight and I got 4hits with a citadel on him to finish the game.


And 6 Tirpitz in a game and I almost topped the charts in my Cleveland with 62k dmg. Only 1 Tirpitz had any idea what he was doing.

All I gotta say is, while Tirpitz isn't the best ship in the game per se, it's certainly the most fun and I've only played 5 or so games in it. Please don't let the devs nerf it all to hell, it's fine as is.

Speaking of crazy game play - had a game yesterday in my New York where the opposing team was all-but-two division players.  We're on two brothers, and what do they do?

Send every battleship and cruiser (all T5-7, mind you) right up the center channel.  Their DD's went around the outside, while ours sat and plugged the channel with torps.  

I was the last BB in our line around the right side so I just stopped and added fire to the channel.  Had one New Mexico kill and most of the damage on 2 Aobas.  

It was nice to not be on the idiot team for once.

I had that too.  Made me quot early.  Not only were the teams full of fail, I couldn't hit anything wheny screen was jumping around like it was animated like one of those old flip books.

Had several times where ships jumped around a couple hundred meters making aiming more of a guessing game than anything.   Of course the guys shooting at me apparently didn't have the same problem as I was getting citadel after citadel hit on my ships, even when angled.

Ranked battles is such a waste of time.  Win one, lose one, win one, lose one.   Over and over and over.   AT least the burst lag is gone.  Now I have to figure out why every other game my FPS drops from 60's to < 10.  Coincidentally it was every other game in ranked battles...and had perfect correlation with winning an losing.  And ironically in the games where my FPS dropped below 10, the team I was on decided to all go in 7 different directions and that a Cleveland could citadel my fuso with 3 consecutive salvos from a 15deg angle away.   Yep, working as intended already.  Things that make you say hmm.

Before delving into the world of DDs, you need to acquaint yourself with the styles of play that the current two nations bring.

USN are more low level gunships with torps as a close in weapon (until tier 8 anyway).  They play supporting fleet roles.

IJN are more ninja sneark around and torp stuff out of view/unspotted since they have torps that exceed their spotting range, but the guns are just ok.

I use the torps as a diversion when I am at max range, then switch to guns to take potshots while the other ship maneuvers around to avoid my torps. Torps close in are devastating against larger targets. Just make sure you are pressing "X" to have the lead indicator up before you fire.

it takes time, I;ve gotten killed most times in cans, you have to be aggressive to get in close to get a full spread on target, a heavy cruiser or BB can soak up 2-3 hits it takes a lot to put them down, of course you have very little armor and a lot of times a solid hit from a heavy pull kill you DRT.   I;ve learned to use little islands judiciously as cover

Its weird.  I'll get a team that as the battle starts will say " lets go for A cap, and focus them down " and everyone does that and we'll win.  Next game we'll of course have different players, and we'll say the same thing.  But this time 2 cruisers go the opposite direction from the fleet, our other Fuso decides that why sit back and use the 5km range advantage he has over the enemy New mexicos, and just pushes right into the middle of the map.  And our Farragut sits about 14km away from the nearest enemy spamming torps that don't even make it half way.

Got so pissed last night I did my first intentional team kill on said destroyer.  His response was of course "F-you, I can play how I want."   Do people not realize that all game modes are in some way shape or form a "TEAM" battle?  And that ranked modes is probably the most important team mode?

I use torps to utterly devastate single targets that isolate themselves.  I'm not a spammer so much as a precision target kind of guy or specific area saturation (denying a lane that 3-4 ships are trying to go through).

II am having very good games in it, certainly not great, but definitely good. In this instance, you can see that or X Carrier couldn't pull his weight against the enemy carrier, and we all suffered.  (I don't know how well the IJN tier X stacks up against the US tier X, but if the tier 4-6's are any indication, I suspect not very well)

I was sour on the 'cola as well.  Its not as good as the Cleveland at its tier, but is actually playable now that I'm getting the hang of it.   Some tips based on my experience and what others recommended.

1)  Free xp to the B hull ASAP.  That at least gives you a chance to be competitive.
2)  Get the range mod next...that way you can shoot farther than your detection range
3)  Upgrade the guns to the faster firing and traversing turrets.

I shoot almost exclusively AP, and do a lot of damage with it.  Sometimes I will switch to HE if I have a DD that I'm going to be fighting for a bit, or have a stubborn battleship I can't pen.

Angle  your hull, and try not to knife fight if you don't have to.  NEVER, EVER show your broadside if you can avoid it, or you will be heavily damaged by even ships with small caliber guns.   The ship is pretty playable if you stay out past 10km and keep moving.   You will get some games of bad RNG where you are just made of paper, but that is how the game works....there is no consistency in the damage received or dealt.

Well, it's official.  I suck balls at destroyers.  3 games in the Sampson and the only thing I've hit with the torpedoes was a friendly destroyer who cut between me and the only shot I got off that may possibly have been on target.


Before delving into the world of DDs, you need to acquaint yourself with the styles of play that the current two nations bring.

USN are more low level gunships with torps as a close in weapon (until tier 8 anyway).  They play supporting fleet roles.

IJN are more ninja sneark around and torp stuff out of view/unspotted since they have torps that exceed their spotting range, but the guns are just ok.


I use the torps as a diversion when I am at max range, then switch to guns to take potshots while the other ship maneuvers around to avoid my torps. Torps close in are devastating against larger targets. Just make sure you are pressing "X" to have the lead indicator up before you fire.



I use torps to utterly devastate single targets that isolate themselves.  I'm not a spammer so much as a precision target kind of guy or specific area saturation (denying a lane that 3-4 ships are trying to go through).


I do that IF I can get close enough that they cannot dodge, and I will usually launch a full spread from one side, then swap from wide to narrow and maneuver to launch from the other side once they have started their turn.

DD vs DD torp fights are interesting...nothing but radical turns and torps all over the place until some asshole in a CV decides to drop his torps into the mix.

So this space ace decides he knows what he's doing, tells our teal "EVERYONE RUSH A" on the Solomon island map.   I say that's a bad idea, we need to focus on 2 caps and not have all of our ships committed to one side, since there is a huge island in the middle of the map that takes our guns out of the fight for 80% of the map.

Derp face decides to engage me in a chat war, and convinces the team to follow him.   I get the only kill in the game and we lose by both caps and ships by going negative in points in < 10 minutes.   38% win rate moron blowing the game for everyone.

Just to blow off smoke.    Came back to the game after the patch to even out carrier numbers/tiers.  That does show some promise at low tiers.. but not at high tiers, especially tier 10.

I'm like 0/10 tonight.  I must be a super player b/c MM is sticking me with all terrible players.   I even got 4 kills earlier in a DD,  but end up being the last survivor and dead by a single shot.    Try the ranked battles to get not so many morons, and it is actually worse.   I get 1 shotted from the first shot of a enemy DD, like 2 minutes into the game.

I think WG has a good game, but it terribly needs balancing.  It should reward skill, not punish it.  

Also, the carriers still need nerfing.   A Tier 10 carrier shouldn't be able to single out an enemy right off and nuke them, with no recourse to the ship they pick.  Manual dropping needs to be taken out of the game completely.

I think I'm going to stick with the lower tier matches with things are more even.

Ranked battles are worse.  Guys are just speed grinding to get the goods (whatever those might be).  If you ever lose 3 in a row, quit.  Take 30 minutes, come back again.  Stop for the night at 6 in a row.
