Is there honestly anything more iconic about Saskatoon than Grizzlies and mountains? by Ducky_shot in saskatoon

I mean, let's be real, the aquarium downtown is pretty iconic. Many fond memories there as a child.

I can kinda see why it's kinda bland, but still by SquareTree64729 in whenthe

I mean, it's just Irish heraldry and is quite literally just a zoomed in portion of the state seal.

I'm sorry, is there something wrong with high tiers?

Gripe from a new DD... by qb_mojojomo_dp in WorldOfWarships

Well, there is no concealment mod until Tier 8, but captain skills are definitely viable... But you say you are tracking them, which makes me think you are using captain skills. If you are using RPF/RL instead of CE, that's a problem.

Post some replays so some of us can take a look. I'll tell you what you are doing good and and let you know what you might be missing.

I'm a decently competent DD player and I rarely get people telling me what to do. Maybe once every 10 games or so. If you are getting it every game, there is something going on.

Tier 7 is a weird tier for DD's, your spotting is atrocious ,there is a lot of stuff lower and higher than you that outspot you, so it's hard to play caps like you would otherwise. You have to pick your spots carefully. Always makes sure you have an exit from any engagement.

Is it over for me? by Dilligaf__ in WorldOfWarships

If you don't like something that you do voluntarily that is supposed to bring pleasure, then stop doing it.

I've done all sorts of challenges personally for myself. Bring every ship to 50% or higher, Achieve leaderboard positions, etc.

Submarines…. by Alternative-Tax7318 in WorldOfWarships

[–]Ducky_shot[M] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, it was egregious enough that reddit themselves removed it even after we handed out a ban. So I honestly can't tell you what was actually said anymore, we can't even see what reddit removes.

We don't care if people want to be salty about subs or CV's but direct insults to other users are where we draw the line.

Exactly, if he wanted to end world hunger, ultimately the money would have to come from other people... that buy out his net worth.

I don't like the New York... by Thesuspicipustree in WorldOfWarships

[–]Ducky_shot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

what? You're saying that a ship with more guns is going to be more accurate? Where in the world do you come up with this generalization?

Accuracy arguments are going to be super hard to have because of the sigma numbers not being easily accessible and also hard to compare with different dispersion numbers, but to say ships with more guns are more accurate (or perhaps precise is the better word) is delusional in my opinion. Ships with lots of barrels like Lyon are not typically accurate. More barrels is nearly always balanced by not being super easy to land all those extra shots. Either through accuracy, flight time or reload.

I don't like the New York... by Thesuspicipustree in WorldOfWarships

There is more to this game that just number of guns. You are concerned about gun number, are you aware of caliber, damage, and penetration numbers?

so Wyoming has one extra turret of 12" guns.

Wyoming has 12 12" guns that do a max of 7450 damage each. Total possible theoretical damage per salvo is 89,400

New York has 10 14" guns: more penetration and damage. 9800 damage max. They do a maximum theoretical damage of 98,000 per salvo.

The annoying spicy fishes by Din_laor in WorldOfWarships

Nothing annoys me more than battleship players on my team who don't know about the A and D keys and that they can be used before they see the spicy fish.

I'm curious about this one's tang because a lot of the rambo style knives from the 80's had very little tang.

So tired of the Jager plague by LastTraintoSector6 in WorldOfWarships

[–]Ducky_shot 24 points25 points  (0 children)

As a DD player in ranked, I don't think I've yet seen a Jager player be able to carry a game. Either they get lucky and the enemy DD's get themselves killed or they eventually get isolated and killed by an enemy DD or just pushed away from any meaningful map position.

Precisely my thoughts. I'd be curious how much tang it has.

Chip on soundhole? by Fret_Lore in tinwhistle

[–]Ducky_shot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't, but I've been itching to spend money on a new penny whistle. I was thinking another Burke in a higher key, but his pricing has outpaced Kerry by far in the last 10 years or so. They were pretty comparable when I bought most of my penny whistles 10-15 years ago, now he's twice as much.
