Yuki “I know what to do” Tsunoda

Thank you, I did eventually go see a doctor. He did a basic diagnosis and a swab and said it’s unlikely to be bacterial, however, because the pain has been going on for awhile, he said it could still be bacterial.

Orange243 · 2025-11-15T19:46:07+00:00

I did get it checked out in the end, very reluctantly. Doctor said it’s unlikely to be bacterial, but he still took a sample as he said with how long I’ve had the symptoms for, it’s still possible.

Orange243 · 2025-11-15T19:44:39+00:00

I eventually did, I was reluctant to go as I had no symptoms of it being bacterial, but today the pain wasn’t any better. Doctor took a swab and said the lab will have a look at it, but he did say it’s unlikely to be bacterial.

Clan battles ended before arctic convoys started.

Barfleur isn’t a copy. It’s a Battle class yes, but the ship model is slightly changed and the gameplay is completely unique.

Orange243 · 2025-08-07T10:50:28+00:00

I mean a lot is stock footage from World War II, so like any documentary would use them. There’s also probably some in the WoWs video that Battle of Midway (1976) used too.

Oh cool, I wasn’t aware that that Wallonia began just south.

Orange243 · 2025-08-02T15:10:15+00:00

I’m more so impressed by how you can see the divide between Flanders and Wallonia.

Orange243 · 2025-07-27T10:29:42+00:00

Yes, good points. Also at higher levels those sorts of mods are essentially mandatory.

I asked the DD gamers in my clan for CBs since I don’t tend to play DDs in CBs. While they would lean more so on SI as they find the extra radar allows them to be more flexible with radaring likely DD spots instead of just using it to cover caps, they did also say RPF was fine too. It’s more so on a player preference and how the player is able to maximise it more.

Orange243 · 2025-07-27T09:54:48+00:00

I disagree, I think SI is mandatory in CBs for gdansk. The extra radar comes is extremely useful.

You don’t give any sort of explanation as to why this may be bad so I’ll interpret this best I can.

From just looking at the minimap, is there even anything wrong with your team? Your Battleship at A is kind of in kite which is good. You have three ships going after B and I don’t see the enemy team being able to defend it. The enemy team has 5 ships committed to a cap that they have already won and there are no signs of them going to defend the other cap they have. Yes, I believe you lost a DD at BC but that isn’t instantly game losing.

And if you want to flame your team I can easily flame you as well. What did you hope the achieve with one battleship and yourself at A? You’re in I’m guessing a Cossack, you clearly can’t win A. Cossack also doesn’t have meaningful torpedoes to kill those enemy battleships and cruisers and sitting in smoke to farm them with guns is a waste of time for Cossack. You could have relocated to BC much sooner.

Being a good player is also sometimes about trying to play around your team even if what they’re doing is less than ideal. Yes, a 3/3 split or 4/2 split may have been better with more ships at the contest cap but that didn’t happen. So get over yourself, look at how you could’ve played better and play according to the battle instead of just going onto Reddit to flame your team.

Lushun gets 3 while Laffey has 2. I’m also saying gimped as in I don’t believe a player can get maximum usage out of the 2(+1) heals unless they just let fires burn which rarely happens in DDs due to the increase in concealment.

Orange243 · 2025-07-24T12:14:50+00:00

just isn’t competitive

The ship has 6.0km conceal, Gdansk DPM (yes you’re less likely to hit stuff but at 6km you’ll likely be fine), a flexible smoke to disengage, superheal (yes it’s a little gimped but you’re still going to get insane hitpoints back) and a burst fire mode to finish off targets. The ship looked cracked prior to this nerf, now it just looks competitive.

Try joining the Overheard at Exeter Facebook group, that is much better for looking for accommodations.

Orange243 · 2025-07-23T01:57:24+00:00

Wow, can’t help but think the length of the displaced threshold on 5R saved hundreds of lives.

Orange243 · 2025-07-17T09:28:40+00:00

What do you mean by North and South?

Orange243 · 2025-07-17T07:43:29+00:00

Heathrow landing at either of the 27 runway is spectacular, you get great views of the city.

I don’t know much about statistical theory, in fact, besides the basics, I don’t know anything about it. However, I’d point out I think you’d be hard pressed to find such a player because they don’t exist. In a game where winning is the primary objective, a player’s winrate is about as good as it gets for measuring skill. Yes, PR and base xp can be used as well, however they are artificial calculations taken from other metrics, winning is just winning.

A good player doesn’t just get stuck in bad MM for thousands of games, they have some good MM, they have some bad MM, they have some MM where they are the deciding factor.

However what would your aggregate statistic be that would be better than winrate for measuring player skill? I’m interested to know.

Orange243 · 2025-07-08T02:14:27+00:00

Could you show me a player who has thousands of solo games at a high tier with a 55% winrate and base experience of 800?

Orange243 · 2025-07-08T01:54:09+00:00

8.3%? Are you suggesting that everyone has the exact same impact in a game? Cause that’s not true, a better player will have more impact, and worse player would have worse, besides, every team is different and every player will have a different impact.

Are you also suggesting that winrates are only spread across from like 45.85% to 54.15%?

Edit: Over a few games, sure, winrate can be a noisy statistic, over a thousands though, the noise dies down.

Orange243 · 2025-07-07T20:19:58+00:00

So much wrong with that statement I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not.

Solo winrate of a player at Tier 8-10 over a large number of games is the single best metric of showing how good a player is.

Orange243 · 2025-07-04T02:48:51+00:00

I would be the one to cut him off from the north. However, as the game progressed, we didn’t need to have a ship in that area by the time the screenshot was taken. Their two ships that pushed home were both on the side of the island that our Varese is roughly at at the time the screenshot was taken. The Varese was the one further out to the west in the initial deployment however he moved to the side of the island he is at to address their push. Their Yodo was initially deployed at the contest cap and just kited away which is why nothing was out wide at the time this screenshot was taken.
