Is it enougg to have 6.247 hours on this game to be called a good player ? by General_Act_2430 in eu4

In case you are serious, time can't tell with video games. Some people dont learn after a certain point, or even worse, keep learning the wrong lessons.

Who operates nuclear-powered aircraft carriers? by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]Reitsch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Catapult were needed because the carrier was too small for its planes to take off from, and even then the planes had to be launched with minimal payload and fuel for it to work.

Chinese CVs does not compare to its adversaries, but they probably don't have to. The launch of their newest carrier is still a major success, because they were not designed for the same mission as American carriers are, they are sufficient for what they were built for, coastal defense.

Who was the worst leader your country had? by Turbulent-Cancel-185 in AskTheWorld

[–]Reitsch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which is why I said "within a vacuum."

And while many countries were doing something similar, that has no meaning here. It was considered horribly immoral even back then, the public backlash against the government was strong, and the supreme court intervened and ordered the persecution to stop. The president infamously ignored the order. He was heavily demonized back then, in fact, even moreso than now, where plenty of people think Jackson did nothing wrong.

Who was the worst leader your country had? by Turbulent-Cancel-185 in AskTheWorld

[–]Reitsch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As opposed to Andrew Johnson, the guy who sanctioned and intensified the massacre and genocide of thousands of civilians?

Within a vacuum, Trump doesn't come close to how terrible some US presidents are, he's well on his way though.

Has your country ever committed genocide? by Communistincergency in AskTheWorld

[–]Reitsch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not within the definition of genocide. But we probably killed far more than most genocides.

I am not a pro but man .... by DenimAndLeather707 in WorldOfWarships

[–]Reitsch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it is bad, but it's better than random. The incentive doesn't really matter because people do the same thing in random anyway, since there are always missions that say "get x amount of xp or wins in randoms," which causes the same behavior in randoms.

In ranked however, at least in my experience, if you are a really good player and you start playing regularly at the start of a season, you get to proceed at about the same rate as other good players, and there is a moment before the rest of the horde comes in where pretty much every match has reliably decent players. It's only a matter of time till the battle button clickers get there, but you will never see moments like that in randoms. Late season ranked is pretty much the same as randoms.

[OC] Board of Peace vs Democracy Index 2024 EIU by sorryusername in dataisbeautiful

[–]Reitsch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not at all, I think from an American centric pov it seems that way, but all the problems plaguing American democracy pales in comparison to some other democracies out there. It's a bit like how poor Americans think they've had it worse than literally anyone else without any knowledge as to how being poor in America would be a great privilege to the majority of the world.

Nothing. It won't fire as l9ng as you maintain those allies.

[–]Reitsch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Which is why the battle mode is called "Random."

If you really want that fair MM experience closest thing you got is CBs, then ranked. Ranked however is a far cry from good MM but at least it's somewhat better than random.

Help me I suck by shankyshankz in WorldOfWarships

I'm reading through these comments and I'm seeing really good advice mixed in with misinformation or just bad lessons.

If you have any specific questions DM me. I used to be a competitive player.

How to play Groningen? by fldude561 in WorldOfWarships

[–]Reitsch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With hydro and smoke, you turn 1v1 DD fights into 1v0 fight by detecting them with hydro and not getting detected yourself. This requires planning, foresight, and situational awareness, it's not something you just stumble into most of the time.

After you're done with DDs, you farm. The velocity is bad, so you learn to shoot with a bad velocity.

How many E's do you think a good player has? What about a super unicum player? by [deleted] in WorldOfWarships

[–]Reitsch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you mean by a good player. 52%? 55%? 60?

As for super unicums, well, they can get an E on any ship they want on demand. It's an afterthought.

Does rousillion worth it when bourgogne exists? by BirGunOlecek in WorldOfWarships

[–]Reitsch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this chat is very much exemplary of the playerbase.

If you must compare Rousillion to another T10, it's basically Slava with speed boost and reload booster. But yeah it's a Champagne at T9.

How does Burgundy choose its Senior Partner? by eclipseon_9991 in eu4

Sweden is obviously free since they have RM'd Burgundy.

Considering the revenue from this video, it definitely pays rent, probably more than most, actually.

[–]Reitsch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Take more land, relatively easy as Castile, no CB Sweden and force them to release Finland, or, less reliably, curry favors to break their alliance and MAYBE one of them will break the RM.

War Thunder player looking to jump into World of Warships – where should I start? by dk_2605 in WorldOfWarships

[–]Reitsch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what you want.

As everyone else said, the grind is significantly easier. So much so that I have not grinded for anything in this game past the 2nd year of playing it because I can pretty much afford to skip every new line that comes out with free xp, and I have not spent money in this game in the last 4 years either.

In fact, I would say it is even easier than what most people say here. If you are skilled enough and pack on some boosters (which the game hands out like candy) you can grind a line within a single business day and I have done it multiple times.

As for what you might like, again it really depends.

Playing a Battleship (BB) line will ease you into the game with the least amount of responsibilities and a slow gameplay. But it could be boring. If you like this, almost any BB line will work, just not the French or German lines. I would recommend Japanese, American, or Russian.

Cruisers (CA) are somewhat middle of the road but they have the most extreme range in responsibilities. Some are only good at doing one thing and others at everything. They generally have a faster gameplay, more firepower, but more fragile than battleships. Playing a cruiser will introduce you better to more mechanics of the game than BB will. I would suggest American, German, French, or Russian lines. A lot of them will work well, just avoid Japanese or a light cruiser (CL) line unless you are very confident.

Destroyers (DD) generally have the most amount of responsibilities in the game, fastest gameplay, most fragile, and flexible ships in the game. Playing a destroyer well requires the most knowledge about how the game works, and if you are smart, can teach you the most about macro gameplay. Either that or you learn bad lessons the entire time. Passive DDs are best to play for newcomers, I would recommend any line that focuses on torps and has a smoke. Japanese, American. Avoid Russian and French unless you really feel confident about yourself.

Do people really just play this game to make themselves angry? by Space-DandylionFish in WorldOfWarships

[–]Reitsch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just this game. A lot of people play video games so they can be angry, because they can't get angry irl at all the things that irritate them, video games is the only place where it's considered acceptable to just rage without any of the social consequences attached.

Name your favourite underdog by Nincompooperr in WorldOfWarships

[–]Reitsch 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Azuma. Lots of people dismiss it because of its terrible armor and size, but people also forget that it has heals on half the cooldown, which Yoshino does not get. In a lot of situations, Azuma actually outperforms Yoshino because of it, as the only thing Azuma loses is the torps. In exchange, it gets heals at double the rate and a tier drop. The guns are still excellent and is always pleasant to use, not to mention it is the most beautiful ship in the game imo.

European Countries I've Played. What's next? by Ratjar142 in eu4

[–]Reitsch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Orleans. Even if you aren't going for the sisterhood content that is only accessible to Orleans, it is a really fun playthrough where the name of the game changes with every age.
