I had a good game last night, insane amount of base xp with a x2 for first victory of the day.

I don't know why it was so good really, it didn't feel that much better than other games I've played (i've really struggled with tier 7 Jap dds).

I suppose 100k damage is pretty good for a tier 7 dd and I held the caps for most of the game.
 
A combination of the torpedo damage and the capping really so basically you did your job as a Japanese DD and had a good game :) 100k in most ships would be a good game really.

I really struggle to do well/enjoy the torpedo boat style destroyers myself so I'm currently sat at the Mutsuki but more a cruiser/battleship player anyway.
 
Very weird experience last night, had 10 minutes to kill so did a Tier III Co-op in my St.Louis (as it's such good fun to run & gun in ;)) and within 5 minutes the other meatbags I'd been teamed with were being raped by the bots :eek: so I enter into chat

"Come on guys you've been trashed by a load of bots surely you can play better than that"

Cue a tonne of abuse and then someone typed "not every team that is better than you is full of bots, sometimes you just get matched against better players"

So I was all :eek::eek::confused::eek::confused: and after further conversation it transpires that most of them did not realise they were playing PvE and had been for hundreds of games.........................

I do worry for the future of the evolution of the human race :(

I do not really play this game much anymore, but seriously?

The game mode tells you it is against bots doesn't it? Some people are so stupid it's funny.
 
I know, that's what worries me, I should've realised a while ago that people just don't pay attention to info on the selection screen when at the start of co-op games some idiots send gl&hf to "all" in chat, until yesterday I thought it was just some default they had set and forgot to turn off after they're last PvP battle but I now suspect they are just dumb :(
 
Anyone here playing ranked battles?

I played during beta, made it to T7.
Restarted last week, and made T4 in a variety of ships. Frankly, not much seems to have changed. Nice looking game, but nothing appears to have changed on the user base. So far I've seen:
- Plenty of energy put into saying "hi", "good luck" at the start of a game, but pretty much ZERO attempts to coordinate. Fine, apart from the fact that it's a game that VERY much seems to require solid teamwork
- Simply too many AFK, players hiding at the back, soloing off into ambushes etc

My question is about ranked battles. I'd hope that they're likely to be played by players more interested in actually working as a team. Is that the case, or is it still just a mess?
 
Ranked battles do seem to have a better player base. More co-op. I still play both.

Struggling with my stock pensacola at the moment :-( Loving the farragut.

Thanks for advising.
I know that no playerbase is perfect, but so far, it's felt like WOT all over again.
 
Played ranked a little bit, just don't want to sink a lot of time into it. But the players can be a little more Co ordinated than random battles. It all comes down to how much effort you want to put in.

The game has changed a huge amount since beta but you still get AFKers and YOLO hero's.
 
Why you use the word "still"? Is not like a normal game that runs for 8-10 hours.... :)
Nor there is another game like this yet. WT when comes out, we shall see

WT have already announced that their Naval gameplay will basically just be torpedo boats, nothing like battleships or cruisers. So if you want large ship combat WoWs is it for the moment.
 
Is there anyone playing this regularly at all?

I often grab 30 mins around 8am and then an hour or so every other evening. It would be great to get some team play in.

I am very much a casual gamer nowadays, needs to be easy to pickup and play over a short period as I cant commit regularly. Currently playing the German line, Tier 4 Cruiser and Battleship so far and happy there for the time being.

I'm thinking of trying torpedo destroyers, I have enough free experience to get a tier 3 Japanese toy I think.

I have to say that for a free game I think its great. I'm not interested in premium ships, happy to play with the standard ones. Doesn't seem overly pay to win, good aim and tactics can overcome camo, flags and premium ships as far as I can tell.

Had a great session this morning om Solomon islands, came through the gap and citadeled a CA to port chasing a low health BB on our team, before turning right and running between 2 Bs and a CA with secondarys blasting both ways. Sank one BB and survived the run with the rest of my team sinking the others.

All said and done though, its one of those games where I don,t mind winning or losing, its just very satisfying blasting away and hitting/getting hit. I would rather win but I am just happy playing a good game regardless.
 
Play most nights after 8pm geneally tier 7-8 as i have 6 lines at that tier. HybridX in game.

Brits are intereting and so squishy and hard to play well. Tier 1-5 are fairly bad tier 6 leander is better and Tier 7 Fiji is amazing.

Edit: i have a few tier 4-5 ships kicking about if you want to squad up. 2 tier 5 cv, akansas beta tier 4 and kamikaze r tier 5

Still playing just lots of distractions at the moment with Civ, BF1, Overwatch, the other WoW etc :)

Wish they didn't make the British cruisers AP only though.
