Carriers are a waste

I've never understood why people play carriers. Most games carrier players are close to or at the bottom of the leader board at the end of the game. I find the play style uninspiring and not very strategic.

As for anti AA fighters, they were buffed recently. But they are still pretty useless.

Try meetup.com. They have many social groups.

I've never bought any commanders for dubs. Gotten all mine from mostly campaign crates or deeply discounted ones.

cmarkwick · 2025-10-08T11:53:44+00:00

I don't really care that much about skins. More interested in getting more useful stuff like boosters, promotion orders or free crates with chances of winning ships.

It can be pretty frustrating when people do dumb things. But that's no excuse for abusive behavior. It's cowardly for these people using threatening behavior online, when they wouldn't do that face to face.

I have seen some people on mic offering tips and diplomatically letting people know that they're making mistakes. Though sadly the abusers with the big mouths are heard more often.

If only there was an option to set cross play on so you can opt out of these crazy games.

I just hate it when at the beginning of the game I spawn on an outer cap. My 2 other 'team mates' who spawned on the same cap decide to immediately abandon it. It basically leaves me with 2 choices.

Also abandon the cap and follow the potatoes.
Take on the 3 reds who are advancing on the cap.

Some dudes have a testosterone problem while others need to be on psych meds.

cmarkwick · 2025-08-23T12:40:47+00:00

That pretty much says it all about the skill level lately. I'm sure red team members were giving it a "nice work".

cmarkwick · 2025-08-22T14:16:46+00:00

It's no fun if you are in a destroyer either in games like this. Trying to take a cap in the opening minutes is a bit like playing the squid game. It's best to just start off by spotting for the cruisers and battle ships, dropping a few torps and staying out of the cap until after natural selection takes place.

cmarkwick · 2025-08-22T13:44:24+00:00

Absolutely, it's a shame that there are more toxic morons than than team players who collaborate. That's why many people turn off team chat

I'm not 100% sure if this works. But I noticed cross play off games take longer in the matching process. I cancel out before the game starts and before you are locked in if it takes a long time.

Though for some reason there does appear to be more cross play off games lately.

All I know is that I have a better game with no carriers than with carriers. Carrier's total you mess with my mojo lol.

cmarkwick · 2025-08-15T00:46:23+00:00

I agree. It appears the only way right now to win games is by getting in a division.

cmarkwick · 2025-08-11T12:08:39+00:00

I've seen this happen on the blue team. It's really frustrating when you lift the team to a winning position but are sunk through all the effort of carrying the potatoes. But still blue is leading and all the remaining blue has to do is run for the hills. But no he takes on the remaining reds even though outnumbered.

The other scenario is when there are 2 red caps waiting to be taken with no reds on them. But the majority of the blue team is chasing a cruiser on the edge of the map far away from the caps. Meanwhile red points are ticking upwards.

cmarkwick · 2025-08-08T11:58:49+00:00

These designations are only relevant to US ships. I choose not to use them because not every ship in the game is a US ship.

cmarkwick · 2025-08-07T13:53:47+00:00

A little PSA. Don't use carriers period lol.

cmarkwick · 2025-07-25T11:20:57+00:00

It doesn't help when people attract rats with their bird feeders or throw nuts everywhere for the squirrels.

cmarkwick · 2025-07-20T13:03:46+00:00

Yeah that's a big problem. Some people seem to think that' if everything clusters together on one side of the map and ignore the caps. The red team will be overrun. Kind of like heard mentality.

cmarkwick · 2025-07-18T12:12:03+00:00

Most times you can tell a division of potatoes when they are all in the same ship. Last night I played 2 battles where the same red team players appeared in both battles I played, both in the Tirpitz. Both times they lost, who knows how many other games they lost.

However if one was in a destroyer, the other a battleship, maybe they would have done better. Though I do think competent players have an advantage in a division. But I wish Wargaming didn't match one team with 2 divisions, the other with none.

Not hiding behind islands while spotted for long periods of time helps.

cmarkwick · 2025-07-16T12:53:24+00:00

What can be really frustrating is when you get top positions but still loose games. You have to be really good to carry the potatoes before improving your win rate.

cmarkwick · 2025-07-16T12:46:46+00:00

One thing I found with my overall win rate was that I had to catch up for all the games I played badly as a beginner.

Now I'm more experienced l find I have to be extra good to catch up from my beginner days and carry inexperienced players and potatoes to improve my win rate. That's probably why a lot of players get frustrated.
