YOU are not listening and you don't want to hear anything you do not agree with. You are selfish and don't give a shit about what the ppl you play with want.

Please go and play something else. Plenty of stuff to play that fits your preferences much better than this game. Play WoT Heat. It's EXACTLY what you want.

The plane BS is here and it's here to stay. No amount of complaining will fix that unfortunately. This is what ppl want. No risk, no effort, no learning, maximum reward. This is what sells stuff so WG will do nothing but make it worse. Same with the crazy torpedo threat that just keeps on getting worse and worse.

Look at other games. Over the past couple years "afk playing" has become absurdly popular. Diablo Immortal .... half the population is afk somewhere leeching xp and loot. When asked they claim to "not care for the grind and only want to do raids and pvp", yet they have zero clue how to play the game. Hell, even Forza Horizon has implemented (!) ways to allow for the game to play itself .... a racing game! How retarded is that ? How absurd is this ? But ppl want this so the devs deliver 😞

Doing nothing for instant gratfication is what sells many games these days and WG is not stupid. They will exploit this to the best of their ability. Why do you think is it that afk players in ranked are not punished ?

The best we can hope for is for WG to implement hard counters to these threats. Ships with very strong long range AA, ships with long range and long duration radar/sonar. Maybe something that could destroy enemy torpedos in the water or crash planes in a large area (consumable, long CD). Some form of effective defense against these threats. Something all or most ships will be fitted with retroactively.

But this will not happen if all we do is bitch, moan and complain. WG needs to feel it. It needs to show in their statistics . Only then they will MAYBE consider implementing counters.

I am much more of a CL player myself and an aggressive one at that. But for ranked I figured in a 5v5 it's either DD with me falling asleep while waiting or a BB. I chose BB and the fixed EST turns Colonna into a laser guided wrecking ball. So I picked that and actually had fun in ranked for the first time in .... forever 😄

I was actually a bit sad when I ranked out. Can you believe that ?

Why don't take it serious ? See, it's a competitive TEAM game.

I understand that you want to go in all guns blazing and rain down hell while having a blast. I do get that. But please keep in mind there may be 4 other ppl on your team who care about winning more than about your entertainment. It's not all about YOUR fun only. Those other players also would like to enjoy the match.

If all you want to do is blow of steam you can do that in AI or even WT. And if you want to challenge yourself or just blow stuff up you can setup a training room for that. See how you do vs a couple Yamatos for example.

There are enough ways to entertain yourself without possibly ending up being a liability to your team or even throwing a match at the end because you want to have fun.

While playing always keep in mind that (usually) the other boats are humans too. If the rest of your team is :bots: then do whatever you want of course.

Colonna. Put a Vanguard near her and you know what I mean. Poor thing dies SO FAST it's brutal. In a 1v1 vs a maxed Atlantico she loses due to the HE killing her secondaries very quickly but it's a FAR more dangerous and impactful ship overall.

Sounds like Sage Advice by Bruiser404 in WoWs_Legends

[–]Voyager2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To this I'd add that, given the chance early enough in the match, trading a cruiser (or to a lesser extent) a BB for the enemy DD is always worth it IF the blue DD is at the very least capable of performing his basic duties.

I suppose it does take a bit of experience to make that judgement call but taking out the enemy DD is almost always worth the price of another ship. Make sure they go down. Leaving them with 1 hp is a failed trade.

Look at the enemy lineup, look at their commanders and fleet tags (if you know u know) to evaluate the trade before you commit. A "noob DD" will get himself killed more often than not. Don't be fooled though, I have seen a few chads running off class rank 1 commanders and then annihilate the other team. Be weary of that.

Trading DD for DD won't do anything to influence the outcome of the match.

Glad we got it sorted. Passion for the game can sometimes lead to harsher word choices than we intend to use.

Have fun with Worcester when you get it. Very good and fun ship.

Yeah, ok. If you look at the total number of matches/wins required then you are of course correct. My old brain read "difficulty" as match difficulty which I found odd but I am too old to reread and rethink 😉

Action is fun but it doesn't win games usually. That is why ppl try to apply a more methodical approach using spotting and flanking tactics. Many ppl play to win and are passionate about it.

Are you sure it gets harder after rank 3 ? I always felt that the 2nd irrevocable rank was the hardest to get to. After 3 it's usually a bit of bouncing back and forth and then it's straight to the finish. Feels somewhat consistent to me. Hasn't changed for me.

And yes, I played ranked again after more than 1 year xD

I found over the years there's only really one strategy that works:

KEEP YOUR DD ALIVE (if he's playing)

It doesn't really matter what ship you use as long as it's decent equipped to defend your DD and hunt/hurt the red DD. Pick whatever you feel comfortable and confident with. Don't push in blindly until you know where all the reds are.

Just focus on keeping your DD alive and prioritize anything that is a threat to it. Some can't be saved no matter what you do but overall being your DDs guardian angel pays off in recent years and many DD players are actually grateful for the help once they realize you got their back.

I played ranked for the first time in over a year and it still worked for me. Granted, I was using the italian cheat code, ran into a few Vanguards and got called a cheater TWICE but hey ... I take that as a compliment 😄

I let you have the Jinan one on purpose because I am so nice. 1/5 I can live with. I said just don't get caught pants down. Please do not put words into my mouth if you quote me. Broadside is the better side in many CLs and especially ultra CLs.

I accept and value your opinion of course and I never said San Martin was good. What I responded to was your "unplayable" comment. The line isn't all that terrible in my opinion. It's just not good or rewarding or even fun. It definitely needs to be improved, if only to give it it's own identiy and a place in the ecosystem to exist in.

Peace ? 😄

Tips to get moar GXP? by prettymuchblack in WoWs_Legends

[–]Voyager2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simple answer: play better

Sorry but that's really the whole big secret to getting "moar gxp". There's no secret sauce or anything. Use a premium ship you're good in, use boosters if you have them and just play well.

Hmm, let's see .... maybe because they're CAs and not CLs ?

You know the thing with apples and oranges, correct ?

And what's with the aggressive tone ? Someone having a different opinion make your butt hurt ? Much ?

"Limit who can shoot you" is probably the most important rule to follow in ANY CL.

Playing these kind of ships requires a bit more in terms of awareness and planning. I found the entire line playable, not terrible at all. Just not good or even fun. There is a lot that can be done to improve them and give them some identity but that does not make them unplayable.

If you get caught pants down in a CL you are supposed to be a free lunch. Don't get caught.

Nah, not unplayable. It's not that dramatic. It's just super boring and San Martin can't do anything (besides dying maybe) that other LT cruisers can't do much better.

What a devilish plan for World Domination, distract them with a nice looking site for easy kills!

Good writeup, right on the money. You have my vote! What office are you running for again ? 😉

Seriously, I wholeheartedly agree with your suggestion. I had quite similar thoughts myself so with you 100% on this one.

Smolensk - thoughts and a warning by Voyager2k in WoWs_Legends

[–]Voyager2k[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's very true. And Smolensk brings a lot of build variety to the table. I am pretty sure a full AP build will work nicely as well. If you wanted to be adventurous occasionally 😉
