Yeah, these performances are the best cases, moreover in the ship which I handle the best in Kuma (although I'm starting to get it with Myogi). Meanwhile I suck at combat with Furutaka.

My averages with Kuma are: 816 XP, 30.813 damage and 26 ships destroyed in 28 battles.

With Furutaka: 548 XP, 19.821 damage, 11 ships destroyed in 22 matches.

Also, my win rate is terrible right now with 41%. Was at 50% when I went past Kuma, but I'm only 7/21 with Myogi and 7/22 with Furutaka for a terrible 32.5%.

Just yesterday I lost my first three battles with Myogi. Hence I was pretty excited after me and another BB turned the tables against two BBs, one CL and one DD, with me taking down a nearly dead Wyoming in close combat, after all others were already at the bottom of the ocean.

EDIT: I never knew you could get outnumbered in a battle. Although that Sampson and those two Kawachis aren't really doing them any good. We won the sinking battle 13-3.

My latest achievement, although not very impressive in comparison against others, but it was a clean game.

Don't be. I posted that particular screenshot because it was one of my best games in any ship to date.

I kind of dislike how the first victory page shows the modified experience (so how much you get after calculating the daily x1.5 and the premium x1.5). With how people post only the first page it gets kind of hard to compare because some will be the daily win and some will be premium, or both.

(Just set my personal record in Umikaze, 1786 base XP. Mastery badges when?)

The x1.5/ x2.0 XP will disappear if won the first daily match per ship. It's like the ship's first win of a day.

Normal is x1.5, premium is x2.0.

PS: Now I get the Furious Taco = Furutaka

PSS: Patch note 0.4.0.4 is out, by the way. Tripitz, Hermelin (gunboat) and Dresden (tier 2 cruiser) will be available for testing only. Low tier cruisers (Kuma, Furutaka, Phoenix, Omaha, Murmansk, Marblehead) will be getting hydroacoustic search.

Yeah despite being outnumbered this match is insanely lopsided in your team's favor, not surprised to hear that result at all. You had more tier 5s, the enemy had a fail division of 2 of the worst ship in the game and a tier 2, and possibly most importantly you had a carrier tier advantage. Frankly the power gap across tiers for carriers is so high that I don't think MM should ever allow this.

Some people are so bad they fail to take advantage of even that though. I normally am extremely levelheaded and rarely say anything at all in chat but I witnessed carrier play so horrendous yesterday that I had to quickly exit to port to stop myself from unleashing a stream of profanities in chat. We had 2 carriers to their 1, and ours were higher tier, and theirs had no fighters. Cue their carrier absolutely dominating the game and sinking me and 3/4 of our BBs while our idiot carriers' fighters are flying around toward the enemy base doing literally nothing. And no, their own bombers did not sink any enemy ships either. I consider those teammates the actual worst carrier players in the entire game, because you have to be to fail that hard.

(And amusingly enough we actually WON that game because one of our destroyers stealth capped with almost the entirety of the enemy team alive. And you guessed it, that was my 1.5x game for the day)

Battleship=Slow boring and to RNG dependent to do decent damage and a torp magnets.

Cruisers=Mainly relegated to AA.

Destroyers=Another class that can be OP stick 7-8km away and just spam torps.

I doubt that carriers can be classed as OP since air dropped torps do less damage then ship launched torps and air dropped torps have a minimum arming distance, so if you can't evade then just make sure you're close enough to where they're dropped and they'll bounce off the hull without exploding.

Also to be honest, if you ignore the torpedo warnings and don't try to evade then you deserve to be blown out of the water.

Of course, I still consider myself a terrible player and will beat myself up over the most minor of perceived misplays.

I've been having a few bad runs, especially when I got my first tier 2 Japanese destroyer since its stock torpedoes have around a 5Km range (pretty much like every (or a majority of) American destroyer) and my first few matches ended with me getting blown out of the water with none or little damage being done, but once I'd gotten both the hull and torpedo upgrades (which increases the firing range and damage caused) the first match I played (even though I was taken out near the end) I managed two torpedo kills both of which eared me a devastating strike award and the battle ended in a victory on points with only one ship on each team still standing (the team I was on was already on over 950 points when it turned into a one on one and the last friendly just hid so that the points could hit the magic 1000 point victory mark).

Well yeah, sometimes people also make me, a rather inexperienced player, scratch my head. Like during a battle we lost on points after time expired, in the beginning a CV as steaming right towards the enemy mass out west, while like 70% of the others were going east. I warned him per chat that he was heading into the wrong direction. No problem, continued steaming west and got taken out.

In general some CV captains have me completely perplexed. Some just remain at their spot until the enemy shows up and then complain that nobody protected them. Others just steam around alone. Like during this one:

First time I ran into that map. Well, both sides had a T-VII Hiryū. Our Hiryū made it directly for the sidelines, while everybody else was steaming to the centre. I thought I will try to use my Myogi to do some CV protection, although I was puzzled why that CV wanted to head alone for the sidelines when there was a possibility that enemies can show up from two sides. Well, after the enemy planes began bombing that CV while I was still a good distance away, a good number of ships began showing up from both sides. Poor little me got caught in a crunch between three BBs, one CL and I think a DD was also there, although not in a distance to do any good. Only managed to sink that CL. But our team won the battle. I like to think that my little stunt there drew away enough attention from the centre that the others were able to set themselves up nicely in the centre.

[Xero8420]

I do notice that carrier players usually don't even be bothered to be escorted, they rather cruising on the corners of the map and hide behind the dark side of an island. This usually happens in low tier matches as it's often disorganized. That, it's very prone to carrier hunting as a top priority.

I'm almost beginning to think being a distraction is actually a more effective way to win than actually fighting. I've had some truly ridiculous games the past couple days, 4 kill losses, a 5 kill game with over 1900 base xp that would have been a loss if not for our last ship's clutch last-second cap, etc etc. Games where I do well always come down to a struggle at the end. Meanwhile I have another game yesterday where I am the focus of no less than half the enemy team for most of the game, doing more dodging than shooting, and it turns into an easy win once my team actually decides to leave the cap circle 10 minutes in.

It's a sad state of affairs but sometimes your team tries so hard to die that the only way to save them is to make sure you're the only one being shot at. (Not that I recommend actually doing this intentionally.)

Hmm, I think you may be onto something. Just earned my first victory in six tries with my new Kongō (of the other five three were draws and two losses) with me playing the distraction again. First steamed off with the others westward before I noticed that the east flank was wide open with lots of enemies coming down. So I turned back and slugged it out, for most of the time by myself, against three BBs and two CLs. Managed to sink both cruisers and bit off enough HP from that one Kawachi that she was sunk a mere second after she sank me. In the meantime that big group up north cleaned up the little resistance there and capped the base with no problems.

[Bonta Kun]

Really liking the Fuso alot, it's full broadside salvo is just a joy to behold every bloody time I fire one off.



Granted 2 of them kills were kinda "steals", me and couple of others took on the brunt of the enemy fleet and I sunk 4 then after cleaning up, a BB and DD sneaked in behind and tried to close in on our CV but by time they got anywhere close we had surrounded them and I just managed to sink the BB at about 3rd hp left with a salvo and sunk the DD(about 4th hp left) straight after with a lucky shot.

I think that was my best game to date.

However I do think I have more fun in my St Louis than anything else which is a huge surprise cause I simply didn't like it to start with.
Besides just how bad it seemingly was and how I really just don't like how it looks either it's proved to be one of the most fun ships to play.
So much pew pew!






That 2nd game, I actually said at the very start of it that we had 2 St Louis and other team had none, so it's our win, who would have thought that we would win and with the 2 St Louis only ships left alive

It was 2 v 2 at the end and they had a BB and DD, the other St Louis was in their cap zone hiding behind a Island from the BB and I was slowly making my way there to back him up.
He managed to take out the DD but then the BB reared around the island and fired a salvo which almost sunk the St Louis but I managed to get there in time and we dps that sucker down.

Just about half way to Nagato, need 35k exp altho I have alot of free exp atm I'm wanting to save that up for quick Yamato get when I get Izumo, cause tbh I'm not hugely fond of the Izumo's looks(altho in the end I'll probabaly still buy it anyway and grind away)

CV players are becoming too cunning these days. Or is it just me being unlucky for getting most of my demise today? >.>

[YF19EX]

I would say more accurate. In my last good game in my NY I took two bomb drops and survived one torpedo drop from the only surviving ship/cv on the map. Thankfully the NY is a solid piece of steel.

BBs are fine, they can at least one wave of torpedoes drops, but can't survive a wave from them as a cruiser. What's more annoying is that it's not only accurate, but also tend to make their preys look too predictable of where its preys are to likely to evade their torps. I'm not going to say carriers are OP, but more of being very ruthless and cunning.

If a CV knows what they're doing and manual drop they one shot a BB with zero chance of the BB dodging.

[LoweGear]

BURNING LOVE!!!!!!



My best BB game yet, had everything: long range artillery shootouts, close-quarters battles, and epic AAA

[Tiberium Wolf]

I still hate those BB players going into narrow passages and getting torped by DD. Instead of helping the team in the more open space battles he goes there to die.

[Xero8420]

WOOT! My last Myogi gameplay was the best so far.

I managed the wreck Langley down with a citadel hit from my third salvo, and I nearly sunk a Kawachi at the brawling range until a cruiser finished it. And now I finally bought Kongou~!

My another decent Myogi gameplay was that I hit Houshou twice simultaneously right into the engine room and probably the hangar bay.

Aahh, my sweet revenge against CVs has fulfilled at last.

Still have no idea how to screenshot the report, though.
