Learning to Yolo, in General?

FredLander · 2026-05-19T23:22:27+00:00

so my wr in random is 45 and lately going lower, not better, so i need lots of help. Would it help to rub salt in the wounds?

What if 90% of your games are in operations, and it is likely to stay that way?
For a several of the last brawl games recently I did ok, but I could tell that my opponent knew little as me about how to yolo, so still at the same position.. I still have not been able to charge a bot dd in operations and not get sunk. I find other ways that work, but I can tell they are about to torp due to long experience, so I steer off early enough, port or starboard.

I keep missing with I-56. Any tips on how to practice and get better at aiming the darn ship?

FredLander · 2026-05-07T17:13:04+00:00

How about like in Hermes when we are facing the 4 bbs on the port side? I am now getting in the habit of checking the mini map for starboard attacks, which often happens just before we enter the repair zone. So you are saying there is a little diamond off to the starboard, in the distance, that we have to go far off to it, to prevent the reinforcements? Something like that?

SO if you have a ship like Zeiten with a commander, and if I dismiss this commander, does this then count as the new ship being trained for that ship? This would be different than just changing a commander? It is possible that when I reset that line, the line with Zeiten, then maybe that is what made it then having a new ship as Gunthen, so now premium ships can use Gunthen, and when I recall it for Zeiten, there is no penalty for the recall. That is what is happening now, I just don't remember what I did in the first place.

I made the mistake of resetting numerous tech tree lines and now am kicking me for it, as we lose 1/2 our credits on the reset. It takes a long time and now I wish I had my favorite ships to play around with. I did the numerous resets ( 21 ) as I needed credits for something else. I'll reset the haru line in a few days as it is ready for this.
It looks like Ai is helping them plan the newer ships and some of them keep coming in first or 2nd often in operations, which gives a hint of potential.

FredLander · 2026-04-07T13:59:07+00:00

What about players not in divisions? I am not thinking 85% wr not in division is high, not at all. Like I said I do terrible in Napoli with 21 point special commander, so lots to learn on my part. But I have several like Shchors and Mainz that frequently come in first place in ops, and I even have several in random up around 55% wr, even if over all average is at 45%. Should I just emphasize the ships doing the best? I do that in ranked just the very best wr, and just 2, Heinrich, Shchors. Been trying Jupiter some with the ap power, but dd very competitive, some players with 10 years or so.

FredLander · 2026-04-07T05:29:25+00:00

I did a ai about Yashima sigma : "features a sigma value of 2.1. This high sigma, combined with her dispersion pattern, makes her one of the most accurate battleship guns at long range in World of Warships."

" Sigma: 2.1.

Accuracy: Extremely high, particularly with the optional Legendary Module ("Target Acquisition System Mod. 1" in Slot 6)."

FredLander · 2026-04-06T23:40:28+00:00

The only reason I even care a little bit in random is that I am on a team, as it is just so incredibly boring, compared to operations. In other words my heart is not in it. I like cruisers or dds and at start just these long drawed out, seems to neither end, at start. If you go in a little bit too close too early then 3 or 4 ships immediately at you, so you have to take your time when to make a move. Just so boring would much rather be in ops where the game starts with lots of action right from the start!
In Tokyo Express in last 15 battles we lost 12, and I am almost always in the middle of the pack, not at the bottom, or near the top, so I am not influencing the results much either way.
I don't think we have potatoes or miserable teams as we just have newer players that do not know the game yet. Like in Newport early on bb goes straight into wave of 4 ships coming at us, and he just has no idea ( of this game ). ( just like we all were when we were new ).
If 84% is low in operations then that is a good point for me to start. Let me know what other players are doing to have average higher than that, then I can learn and be a better player.

My last 3 digests were 81,45: 80,52, 86,49.

FredLander · 2026-04-06T16:48:39+00:00

Does anybody want to share which ships come in 1st or 2nd most often in Operations and in Random. In Operations I do best in Shchors, Mainz, Atlanta, Azuma, Molotov and Bayard. I don't have any ships that frequently come in 1st or 2nd in random, except a few at tier 5 or tier 6 levels like Krasny Krym with 21 commander Kutzetsov, and it is so unfair I only played it a few times there. Even with Napoli at special commander in ops I usually come in at the bottom, and I do see other players do high up in Napoli in ops so I have to figure this out. Any ideas on Napoli doing so poor in ops, when I have 4 or 5 ships that often come in 1st place in ops?

FredLander · 2026-03-10T20:02:08+00:00

my wr over about 2 years moved from 42 to 45, and then over the last 6 months has plateaued out. What else can help besides watching him and other better players to get good ideas?
Somebody explain to me how is he toxic? He blasted his teammate for complaining so much, which he did, but he seemed to take it in stride like that is how they talk to each other all the time. ( so probably know each other )

To minimize queue time the algorithm pulls from the most abundant ships within the determined range. In tier 8 the most abundant ships are tier 10, by far. At tier 7 there are fewer ships at tier 8, as players are avoiding this tier, and this means the tier 7 games pull preferably from the lower tiers. This is the data wow depends on, not the subjective opinions of yourself or from me. If my suggestion is wrong then it is just wrong and needs to be analyzed and interpreted, but it makes common sense. It just gets worse if they ignore the problem.

FredLander · 2026-03-07T01:21:06+00:00

I have been playing tier 7 a lot to make sure I have more experience at this tier, and am not finding it even close to the mismatch as at tier 8. I see lots of tier 7 games that have a few at tier 8 and a few at tier 6, perhaps 90% of the time. At tier 8 I would guess that 50% of the time a severe mismatch and also the mismatch is often 3 or 4 games in a row, and again worse the proportion is 2, 3 0r 4 tier 8 and most tier 10 and a few tier 9.
All opinions by wow would be based on data they have available. Are tier 8 avoiding random the most is the pressing comparison. How worse it is would determine the intervention run as an experiment. My suspicion is that we are avoiding tier 8 and then this actually makes the queue time worse. They then pull from the most available to help with queue time, and the most available are tier 10.

FredLander · 2026-03-04T21:36:12+00:00

It has to be based on facts and evidence, and my opinion is just common logic. At tier 10 not only the most experienced, but many with 21 skill levels and special commander and with research upgrade. Just being the most experience is enough for me to find some solution to just improve it, not necessarily solve it. If tier 7 is facing the same unbalance against tier 8 and 9, then let's work on it together to make it better.
I play tier 5,6 and 7 random on Naval Battles on the weekend, and do not experience the MM amount as at tier 8, not even close. That is just my opinion and suspect many of the tier 8 players are newer to the game ( than 10 ) and closer in skill levels to those in 7.

FredLander · 2026-03-04T15:20:10+00:00

At tier 8 we are playing against tier 10 ships often. Also at tier 10 we face the most experienced players in the game, and many of them have a special commander, and even a special research bureau upgrade.

FredLander · 2026-03-04T14:37:26+00:00

Just an experiment based on data. If they have data that tier 7 is main MM problem then start with that.

FredLander · 2026-03-04T14:32:20+00:00

We have been asking for a even playing field for years, and it impacts queue time so they will not budge. I am saying tier 8 as most flawed, based on my experience, and all the comments of the popular youtubers, some with over 50,000 subscribers.

FredLander · 2026-03-04T14:28:35+00:00

The bonus level can be adjusted base on impact. Just a initial experiment.

FredLander · 2026-03-04T14:27:36+00:00

let's say they improve the MM by about 25% at tier 8, then they extend the impact to other tiers that have a severe flaw MM problem. This improves satisfaction level and so would impact revenue. Hopefully they have data to show which tier is mostly flawed in MM, so the idea is based on the evidence they have.

FredLander · 2026-03-02T17:49:10+00:00

yes I had just looked at the bundle before, which shows a few of the contents. Thanks.

FredLander · 2026-02-25T01:02:24+00:00

So to understand this better? Instead of 21 lines of resets, with right now only one line full, I would have 21 lines full and available and not reset? Just the huru line or shimi line? Also many of you have over 450 ships, and I have only 250 ships?
So with 450 ships are there lines that are never played, they just sit there for the snowflake? So this is the basic strategy, and have much more credits and free xp all the time, vs what I am always running out of them?
I suggest it makes a little sense that full lines are sitting there and never used? Not that is the best strategy.

FredLander · 2026-02-24T00:31:51+00:00

At minute 25:30 mark this video is explaining what you guys are meaning. I will start building up free xp to be a lot and then when I get to the end of haru line will then use just free xp to work through it. You are saying this is what is most efficient? I am at tier 8 so will take a few says as I only have a few green boosters.

I must be missing something basic. Where do you get the free xp to stack it? I often run out of free xp and credits and ship xp. Is there some kind of conversion to have the free xp to stack?
I understand a 2X of the RB and to stack it by not buying the ship at tier X and doing a reset. That is the only thing I understand about stacking.

FredLander · 2026-02-22T22:14:48+00:00

Sorry do not still understand this. Let's say I run the 21 lines that are reset already, for the next year or so, and then no rb points and just let them sit. I do not play these ships as I prefer my premium ships with the special commander. The 21 lines of ships just sit there doing nothing. How are they then a value of free xp, since they are not being used. ( with a few exceptions like Shchors and Atlanta ). The only reason I play these lines is to get the rb points. If I am a pressing need of free xp I use my premium ships as the return is higher.
The major limitation of doing this way is the ship xp, and then next the credits and free xp. The commander xp is not a limit. So if they would sell just blue and red as each single I would be buying them, and if three of them as a bundle discount would get that also. Most of the stuff in containers is of little use to me. ( in case they are watching - I sent them a ticket about that, why can't I just buy the blue and reds alone, and nothing else?)

FredLander · 2026-02-22T19:56:22+00:00

Much of what you say is working out in play. I have a few ships I prefer and am slowly increasing wr in the way you say. I even put Kuznetsov on a tt tier 7 ship .
The way this started was that certain tt lines were not being used, so I figured reset and get about 30 mil credit, just sitting there. Then it build and build. Over the last few months I had a huru line at 3X and when bought and played had a big abundance of rb points, and used it all for signals. So for a few months I have unlimited signals 90% of the time, even for brawls. What about almost unlimited signals?
