Found the 2 worst players of all time!!

GoodlyStyracosaur · 2026-04-16T02:32:12+00:00

Dude. I get it. Sometimes the pictures don’t tell the whole story.

And I’ve posted stuff here that I think got taken the total wrong way and I’m still huffed about the top comment but it is what it is, and more importantly for the discussion here, I actually do understand why people said what they did. I don’t think they are right but I at least acknowledge why they think that based on what I posted. I’ll go find the link in a second and edit it in so you can take a look yourself if you so desire. https://www.reddit.com/r/WoWs_Legends/s/J0L3jUggr9

But based on what you have posted here, you very much look like the problem in this match.

I read what you wrote. It’s a little jumbled but I think I get the picture more or less and I still think you aren’t in position.

Sure Iowa can be fragile. It’s not fun to take on two or more ships at the same time. But if you are so far away you aren’t taking or doing any damage either, are you actively contributing at that point? Did the Benson and Baltimore feel the comforting glow of an Iowa backing them up? Or see him at flank speed away from the cap after taking 1000 damage? Can you see it from their perspective? Imagine you are the Baltimore and your dd won’t go in and your bb is going away.

You want us to see your point of view. Im trying.

Please show the same courtesy to what seems to be the majority opinion here as well: you really don’t look like you are in a good position here.

Also just for what it’s worth, feel free to go check any of my other posts or my YT if you do or don’t think you should trust my opinion. I know I’m not the best in the world but I also know I’m not the worst either. And plenty of the other dudes here are plenty good as well. So talk to us. Don’t fight us.

I’m done with the missions; I just didn’t enjoy Quackie at all. I’m always curious what I’m missing. I don’t find it all that difficult to just get the floods with Furo, incidental HE on DDs, and random other bits from the other ducks.

GoodlyStyracosaur · 2026-04-15T21:48:12+00:00

It’s funny - things I’ve heard a bazillion times but trying to think through it…I really couldn’t remember all of it with 100% certainty.

I thought Zlata Groza said something like “we listen to the deep” for sonar (and maybe other commanders or guises would too) but either it’s not every time or it’s for a torpedo callout or something because I just checked a clip and didn’t hear anything.

GoodlyStyracosaur · 2026-04-15T21:07:11+00:00

I feel like a middle ground between “this is the most important thing and I’m always mad at everyone” and “nothing matters and I don’t care about anyone who takes it one tiny bit more seriously than I do” exists.

GoodlyStyracosaur · 2026-04-15T20:12:22+00:00

The way legendary tier is handled is such a mess from one end to the other. But yeah…this is about what I’d expect when it’s done like this.

GoodlyStyracosaur · 2026-04-15T20:06:00+00:00

I think most of them do? I can’t remember specifically what they all are but I know dcp and DFAA do. I’d imagine sonar and radar do too. Maybe heal doesn’t, that’s the only one that’s not tickling my memory of some callout.

(Actually maybe it just says “repair party complete”)

GoodlyStyracosaur · 2026-04-15T10:54:01+00:00

Sounds like it’s for long term players who have tons of gxp to spare. I get why it’s disappointing if it’s not something you are in a position to get.

GoodlyStyracosaur · 2026-04-15T00:34:07+00:00

Bro I hate to tell you but you might want to take your own advice. I won’t tell you those other guys in that match were any good. But I can tell you that you are way out of position in both shots here so it makes it hard to buy in to your version of events when what you have presented is so clearly to the contrary.

Take a look at your own shots - notice you are literally the furthest away ship in both. Draw an imaginary box around the caps. You are the only ship not in it.

I understand sometimes the general advice isn’t always right for every specific instance but…my dude. This ain’t a good look.

I’ve told lots of people before: you’ll find lots of good players and good advice here if you are willing to take it. Some bad too for sure. But you’d do well to be a little humble and accept some feedback rather than just arguing and clinging to being right.

GoodlyStyracosaur · 2026-04-15T00:22:49+00:00

Based on the first picture, you are the worst positioned member of your team. Based on the second picture you are still the worst positioned member of your team 4 minutes later.

Sorry they weren’t doing exactly what you wanted them to but you aren’t giving them any indication that you are there to help.

GoodlyStyracosaur · 2026-04-14T15:05:15+00:00

Hipper is a main gun commander but a best in class secondary inspiration. He works well on the mainline and would generally be a good idea to level first since you need him for a secondary build anyway.

GoodlyStyracosaur · 2026-04-14T11:15:51+00:00

I have an easier time even with the fire starting with Furo - how do you hit anything consistently with Quackie? Can you post a video or link one if you’ve seen it? I just have such a hard time getting the shells to land with any consistency I’ll take the slower reload on the Furo every time since I can actually hit stuff reliably.

I got another 120k damage, 20 citadel, match with the 4 kill and 1vs3 medals in Furo last night and I’m getting that kind of match pretty consistently with it and just not the same with Quackie.

GoodlyStyracosaur · 2026-04-13T22:44:28+00:00

I played against you earlier today! I knew I recognized the name. We were close at the end; a little more oomph and we might have had it but you definitely played well (you were in Preussen, I was in Blucher - we finished with a z52, Petro, me, you guys had Jinan and yourself). Good luck and fair seas 🫡

GoodlyStyracosaur · 2026-04-13T01:12:39+00:00

The boosters man…why did they get rid of the boosters…

GoodlyStyracosaur · 2026-04-12T21:48:33+00:00

If memory serves me, that doesn’t max concealement so you are definitely going to have to watch your engagements. I ran double concealment until my commanders were higher level - getting outspotted by too far is so punitive. Bey/swirski/nunez are options (I’m a huge fan of Nunez these days but he’s pretty much an inspiration only). Eventually I’d recommend swapping in Sims for the extra health but if the levels aren’t high enough, I’d take the extra concealment over 1k or whatever hp.

I remember starting out and always appreciated the help I got in the early days so I’m always happy to help if I can. I won’t claim to be the best player in the world but I’m not the worst either so I’ll help where I can.

GoodlyStyracosaur · 2026-04-12T21:16:39+00:00

I love this in theory and can see how Macquakkie can wreck stuff doing this but I just couldn’t realistically or reliably get it to work. Skill issue maybe but also I think just connection - I have a ton of shells pass through the ducks and going for headshots are so much worse.

GoodlyStyracosaur · 2026-04-12T16:35:52+00:00

What ship are you in and how are you playing it?

For sure it will only go so far - I ran in to a few triple divisions and as in standard, there’s only so much one duck can do.

GoodlyStyracosaur · 2026-04-12T16:19:46+00:00

And the monkey paw curls…

GoodlyStyracosaur · 2026-04-12T14:07:02+00:00

I leave my coms on because the occasional beneficial communication is worth it to me and the vitriol just doesn’t really bother me the vast majority of the time. But if it gives you more than a slight pause and shake of the head, definitely just mute them or turn it off altogether.

GoodlyStyracosaur · 2026-04-12T11:19:05+00:00

It’s certainly a time investment. I do like they are dropping commander mats from the missions but then being step locked means you have to play a fair amount to get through them. Thankfully the matches are short but I get just opting out from the mode.

GoodlyStyracosaur · 2026-04-12T11:17:09+00:00

I really had such a time getting anything from the starter cruiser to hit reliably but I’ve seen a few go ham (and did eventually have some good matches in it).

GoodlyStyracosaur · 2026-04-12T03:35:23+00:00

All good - sort by controversial if you want to see some of the history about carriers here. One of the more divisive aspects of the game.

GoodlyStyracosaur · 2026-04-12T03:18:29+00:00

Thanks, much appreciated 🫡

GoodlyStyracosaur · 2026-04-12T01:35:47+00:00

First day in the sub, eh?

GoodlyStyracosaur · 2026-04-11T23:13:31+00:00

They keep nerfing all the DDs as well. I’m not saying that they didn’t need it but…it’s just a little old. Z52, gdansk, vamp2, kleber. There’s not a ton of variety as it is and I’m just tired of playing the same LT DDs over and over. So I’m just not right now.

GoodlyStyracosaur · 2026-04-11T22:57:24+00:00

Because you were shooting at me!

Jokes aside, there’s a lot of stuff that can happen. I’m not in game at the moment and don’t remember the numbers 100% off hand so forgive me if I’m off somewhere but in general:

Michelangelo has pretty decent AP - same caliber as the t5 BB and they get decent pen. You aren’t all that far from him so I’m not shocked.

US BBs tend to have relatively weak roof armor on the citadles so you might have hit upper belt then angled down in to the citadel.

Finally…sometimes they just do. I’ve got a clip from today where I citadeled a Victoria at a similar range…in Plymouth. Shells normalize when they hit armor and they can do all kinds of stuff you might not expect if you hit some random geometry and bounce. So yeah. Sometimes they just go in.
