[livid bridge]

Just dont play against either of them with one simple click

[steel pier]

no more Benson

[open yarrow]

Fletcher is very good

still

[plush smelt]

The uninstall button?

[livid bridge]

No. Swapping modes

[open yarrow]

It might the the best vanilla T9 dd in the game

[plush smelt]

Wdym by vanilla

[cunning lichen]

I seen the PQ vid of Prince of Whales and it feels like that could do more with the boat.

Like

[steel pier]

im still free

[cunning lichen]

Why 25mm bow??

[open yarrow]

Like it is the one of the two original lines in the game vanilla

[cunning lichen]

If they want to have 25mm bow then make the very slow heal like 60 seconds or something

Cooldown

That would be cool

[plush smelt]

I mean if ur only competition is yugumo...

[cunning lichen]

Something uniqe

[open yarrow]

wdym, Yugomo is good

more stealth

[plush smelt]

That entire line is garbage

Imo

[cunning lichen]

Wha??

[plush smelt]

[open yarrow]

wa

[honest silo]

For sure I will do more battle tomorrow.

[plush smelt]

Fletcher is pretty good tho

[open yarrow]

I have recently grinded that line

[honest silo]

I'm so tired currently.

[honest silo]

What line?

[cunning lichen]

Kagero and Yugumo are quite good torp boats because they get access to TRB

[open yarrow]

Yugumo I played with speedbooster

Shimakaze line

[honest silo]

Oh, that's interessing.

[plush smelt]

That line and shima specifically was the most miserable experience of my life

[cunning lichen]

Imagine if Shima got access to TRB over smoke

[open yarrow]

sounds like a you problem

[plush smelt]

I'm never touching shima again

The pain and suffering that thing caused me was unbelievable

[open yarrow]

My first two games in Shima

[honest silo]

What happened with shimakaze?

[plush smelt]

It sucked ass

[open yarrow]

for you

[honest silo]

That's nice.

[honest silo]

Oh, ok I see.

[strange mulch]

The only good thing about the Shima line is the torps, that's it, the guns are trash for anything except something that's basically a fart away from death already and the AA just doesn't exist on those DDs

[open yarrow]

Shima is ninja gameplay

[plush smelt]

Well me and torpedoes dont really get along that well so

[ancient monolith]

well, shima is supposed to be a torp DD anyway

[open yarrow]

I also want to add that there were radars in those two games

[strange mulch]

At least other Torp based DDs have guns that can pass as usable

[plush smelt]

I had like one good game in shima

Where i devstruck 3 ships in 3 torpedo volleys

Every game after that was pure ass

[open yarrow]

Shima wet dream

[plush smelt]

Fr

I kept trying to chase that high

But never got it

[iron harness]

the game giveth and the game taketh away

[honest silo]

Yeah.

Hey VoidTemplar.

[plush smelt]

56k is lowkey higher than i expected

Johnston vs fletcher?

[honest silo]

I still need to learn to play USS Benson DD-421.

[steel pier]

ofc, as the 2 before, she got 2 fitting flags and a fitting camouflage pattern

[open yarrow]

It is surprisingly balanced (I have CQ Johnny)

But Fletcher has the better torps

[honest silo]

I don't agree for the camouflage.

[plush smelt]

Johnston >>> CQ Johnny first of all

[open yarrow]

and Johnson can do the Sap slap

[open yarrow]

It is the same ship tho

[honest silo]

Yeah and I honestly want Johnston.

[plush smelt]

Mainly because CQ Johnny apparently comes with an IQ debuff

[plush smelt]

Would u rather have a johnston on ur team or a CQ Johnny

[honest silo]

But I currently have only USS Halford DD-480 of the Fletcher-Class guys.

[open yarrow]

Neither

[steel pier]

this camouflage is absolutely neccessary || ||

[honest silo]

No.

[steel pier]

none

[plush smelt]

True but if u had to choose

Ur picking johnston

[steel pier]

yes

[plush smelt]

Cuz we all know cq Johnny players are morons

[honest silo]

What is your opinion guys of USS Halford DD-480?

[plush smelt]

Ass cheeks

[open yarrow]

I rarely see the ship to say anything about it

[open yarrow]

waste of space

[steel pier]

xd

peak flag choice

[plush smelt]

I got it out of christmas crates but never played it

[open yarrow]

It is a funny boot

I play her sometimes

[honest silo]

Same and I did some Battle with her.

[whole meteor]

why is it every time i play ven

ppl just

run away

[plush smelt]

Filthy hybrids

[whole meteor]

and i never get any kills

[open yarrow]

Ven?

[whole meteor]

and my PR tanks

[steel pier]

Ise my beloved though

[whole meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/vulpis-cry-scream-no-shout-gif-6105065340435513454

[honest silo]

Yeah I agree with you CaptainHelix.

[open yarrow]

Who is Ven?

[honest silo]

Vittorio Veneto I guess.

[steel pier]

my Captain Cleve is now a Tovarish

[open yarrow]

pff

[steel pier]

or Venezia

[open yarrow]

ita ship

bruh

oh

[honest silo]

Yeah.

[steel pier]

ita good

[open yarrow]

Venezia is good

[plush smelt]

Have you tried running after them?

[steel pier]

Veneto is nice

[open yarrow]

Venezia is peak dd oneshot broadside bote

[honest silo]

Isn't Venezia a Cruiser?

[open yarrow]

yes

[honest silo]

I see and thanks.

[plush smelt]

Got my second golden clasp today 😍

[steel pier]

||@open yarrow have a look ||

[plush smelt]

Funny how my only two golden clasps are des Moines and salem

[open yarrow]

I already have

[steel pier]

i bet you like

[open yarrow]

idc tbh

[honest silo]

Nice.

[steel pier]

i could make a dutch Fletcher

[honest silo]

Still regarding Cruiser guys.

[open yarrow]

now I care

[honest silo]

You know of what ship I dream to have in game guys?

[open yarrow]

Venezia?

[honest silo]

Nope.

[open yarrow]

then idk

[honest silo]

It's USS Newport News CA-148 a Des Moines-Class.

[open yarrow]

classic

[steel pier]

[plush smelt]

I wonder what gimmick they would give it if they actually added it

[finite quail]

remove minotaur

[plush smelt]

They bro get touched by a radar mino or something

[finite quail]

anyone who plays minotaur is a camping goober who cant be bothered to actually play the game

[honest silo]

I guess it would be releated to Anti-Aircraft as she was complete for that type of job.

[finite quail]

#imright

[plush smelt]

Be thankful he's gifting u free devstrikes

[honest silo]

Yeah.

[steel pier]

vro forgor Valpappers, Schlörffen and Liberted exists.

[finite quail]

NOT WHEN I CANT SEE THE DAMN THING

[finite quail]

at least i can see them

[open yarrow]

So sad that the Netherlands never took over some Fletcher dd's

[plush smelt]

If he's playing smoke he's probably bad anyway just wait he'll get spotted eventually

[steel pier]

you could have also gotten some Z's from us, as reparation.

[open yarrow]

We went for building our own instead

[steel pier]

i wonder, why the british didnt give some over

[open yarrow]

eh

they did

[steel pier]

anyways, time to play my soviet Fletcher now. to see what it can do

[open yarrow]

We did get some N and Q class dd's

[finite quail]

i want this in wows...

[open yarrow]

gl mate

[honest silo]

But yeah I'm not sure Cirzoo.

[open yarrow]

this looks weird af

[strange mulch]

Same

[open yarrow]

Would still be a T5

[finite quail]

wyoming but with 5 inch guns instead of mains

gunnery training ship

[steel pier]

thew vodka be on my side with this one. aswell as Tovarish Cleveland, my captain

[open yarrow]

aight

Imma gonna go now

sleep well

[steel pier]

[honest silo]

Have a nice sleep.

blubb blubb No.9

[whole meteor]

🤑

[steel pier]

2 tapped by Yoshino

anyways, Fletcher line is done. back to tier VI

[honest silo]

Nice Battle!

[honest silo]

You still miss USS Gearing DD-710.

[steel pier]

no mood anymore

we have 3 Tovarish DDs aquired. thats enough

[chilly minnow]

is colombo still good

How is new update

ive not played in multiple days

[honest silo]

It's out in 1 day on the 21st of March.

[finite quail]

im glad columbo is getting nerfed

but i do wish meck would be buffed

with like

better shells or speed boost or something

[steel pier]

Valpappers should be really nerffed, instead of only pretending to do so

[finite quail]

https://klipy.com/gifs/truth-nuke-true-3--k01KS13NZ8JVBGZHGHX1C1BEFZK

[plush smelt]

Gng u saved my salem

[real meadow]

[plush smelt]

Pro gamer

Ok now i sleep bye

[hallow cosmos]

Hey guys

[real meadow]

goliath next?

[plush smelt]

I don't have it

And it looks boring as shit

[real meadow]

uh honestly

its not

this thing has like

[hallow cosmos]

Hows yorktown?

[real meadow]

4235 HE alpha

[plush smelt]

Hmm maybe I'll get it

[real meadow]

with 12 guns

this shit does 10k / salvo + fires

just eats damage like its a command

[plush smelt]

Yeaaa but I got enough HE spam cars

I'll get it eventually

Im gonna try and get the golden clasp on hawaii

[honest silo]

Nice!

[honest silo]

Have a nice sleep Cirzoo.

[plush oxide]

I like Sibir a lot

even with how bulky it is

the f button is so nice to have

[tall geyser]

who wants to know why valp is bad

👀

[steel pier]

no need to. knowing she is annoying AF is enough to me, to hate on her

[honest silo]

Good night guys see you all tomorrow and have fun.

[blazing dock]

why is concealment expert even a skill

[scenic crater]

It will eventually be worth something once WG does what they said they would do which is stop CV attack planes from spotting.

[dreamy sorrel]

I think ce was broken on cv

[blazing dock]

ce should be mandatory on dds otherwise opposing team is at a big favor cause your team has that one potato with a 6 point capt

[dreamy sorrel]

But it's useful on Japanese carriers at least because you get detected at the last second and skip a lot of long range AA

[blazing dock]

i wonder whats so hard about making plane spotting minimap only

[deep prairie]

Doing the same for radar/hydro

[blazing dock]

radar gives dd a few seconds to skekaddle because its minimap only for the first like 5 seconds

[deep prairie]

Make it minimap only except for the person using it

[atomic fable]

Whats better zao or castilla

[cunning lichen]

depends

[blazing dock]

the whole class in a single game wow

[atomic fable]

I got both i just feel like zao is a bit more fun

[cunning lichen]

Zao is a better kite cruiser, Castilla is a better push cruiser

[scenic crater]

Nothing at all...except they just won't do it for some unknown reason.

[atomic fable]

Working on my first tier 10 destroyer

[tardy pelican]

how is libertad so hard to cit at close range if its citadel is that high

[vague cedar]

It's high above water, yes - but it's also sloped down for quite a bit

[steel pier]

@vague cedar Tovarish Tuan, we got our Fletcher, look

[tardy pelican]

i know, for long range it has the same protection as kremlin but close range i still can hit it

[whole meteor]

spaced

armor

[tardy pelican]

that ship is so stupid

[whole meteor]

colombo existing

[tardy pelican]

and maine

[blazing dock]

too bad it turned out into a catastrophical blowout

[tardy pelican]

Battleships as a whole tbh

[sour prawn]

why isnt modstation working

forcing me to dl some exes

[unique hemlock]

It's funny remembering how old some of these pictures are...

[vestal oyster]

so it'll be... torpedo bombers and dive bombers that can spot?

i thought CVs losing fighter spotting was plenty

[twilit thistle]

columbo smash

[lucid wagon]

Generally if you're going to discuss CV nerfs with someone who doesnt play CVs they'll either; not care about CVs in the first place or just propose a set of nerfs that make CVs entirely useless and unplayable simply because it annoys them in their games lol.

[vestal oyster]

i'm not talking like i'm an expert at CVs (cuz i'm not, far from it) but i have played some carriers and making CVs lose all spotting kinda removes their purpose a little bit

[hallow cosmos]

youll be getting games like this and lose bc everyone just vanishes 😭

[vestal oyster]

CVs are not like battleships where their primary goal is to do damage

their primary goal is to support their team, then do damage

they support their team by spotting enemy ships or forcing them to be out of position by using torpedoes to zone (much like a destroyer does)

[hallow cosmos]

sending dds straight to port in the first 3 mins is the most fun part

[twilit thistle]

round

[vestal oyster]

which happens if your team isn't supporting the DDs

[hallow cosmos]

or the dd just runs away from its team

[vestal oyster]

theoretically, cruisers should be moving up with the destroyer to provide anti-aircraft fire or the carrier will drop fighters on the destroyer

[twilit thistle]

does he know

[vestal oyster]

if the DD runs away from their team that's their fault

[hallow cosmos]

this is one thing i already love about essex line

[twilit thistle]

fighters can't spot

[vestal oyster]

that's not what i'm talking about, i'm talking about getting rid of planes on friendly destroyers

[hallow cosmos]

you have your rockets and bombs to send dds cuddling w the fishes and you dont have to care abt restock

also it all happens in one attack

[vestal oyster]

if a friendly destroyer is getting spotted by attack aircraft, the allied carrier should put fighters on the destroyer to protect it

especially if the destroyer is out of position and not supported by cruisers with stronger AA

[steel pier]

KuK defeated u

[blazing quest]

And they grief the game

[vestal oyster]

every ship class has the potential to grief the game

[blazing quest]

Nope

Cv game impact is still too high

Flying vision makes half the shit you can normally do unplayable

[hallow cosmos]

hey scharnhorst

[vestal oyster]

if a carrier is in-game then you also have a carrier on your team to support you

[hallow cosmos]

who?

[blazing quest]

If you’re a good player you also get targeted

[blazing quest]

No

It’s randoms

[steel pier]

mean me?

[vestal oyster]

that's how matchmaking works my dude

[blazing quest]

Doesn’t matter

[whole meteor]

just conscript the local mexican to play essex 24/7

[hallow cosmos]

if your a good player you stick to your mates to make aircraft confetti

[blazing quest]

Still a game breaking class

[whole meteor]

problem solved

[vestal oyster]

this just sounds like a skill issue so far

[whole meteor]

[hallow cosmos]

nah KuK

[blazing quest]

Nope

[vestal oyster]

[blazing quest]

Really

Check my stats

[hallow cosmos]

[lucid wagon]

pregnant people are hormonal

[vestal oyster]

[hallow cosmos]

[blazing quest]

I mean it’s just ragebait

Unlucky

[hallow cosmos]

rather like

a skill issue

[blazing quest]

Real

[lucid wagon]

i mean the spotting on CVs is kinda bullshit so just make like minimap spotting or some shit idfk

[steel pier]

KuK, the navy Laudon comes from

[vestal oyster]

yeah carrier games require different gameplay because of the inclusion of carriers but... sticking with your team is the #1 way to counter carriers

[blazing quest]

Which griefs map positioning

So

[hallow cosmos]

oh, is that a known clan?

[steel pier]

no?

[blazing quest]

Stick to your team isn’t a viable solution

You have to control the map

[steel pier]

Tegetthoff, Viribus Unitis and Laudon are all 3 KuK Warships

[hallow cosmos]

what

i dont get it

KuK

[blazing quest]

There’s a reason why DDs are unplayable when CVs exist in comp

[lucid wagon]

Sticking with your team in one entire group isnt really going to help because that ends up causing way more issues then it solves lel

[hallow cosmos]

mhhh

smoke?

[blazing quest]

Destroyers.

[bronze flame]

It feels nice going in Asym and just rushing middle with prinz heinrich for damage mission

[cunning lichen]

I do love me some random airport checks and lose a quarter of my HP because the CV decided to beline towards me at the start of the game.

[hallow cosmos]

well what do i care abt dds i am the cv after all!

[lucid wagon]

so we pop an entire smoke when the apparatus of instantaneous exposure floats over you

?

[cunning lichen]

sometimes I can lose evne more HP

[steel pier]

Österreich-Ungarn, also known as KuK

[vestal oyster]

ok this is annoying especially when it's a bot (who i assume knows where all the players are anyway)

[blazing quest]

If your dd has to smoke up everytime it gets spotted

[cunning lichen]

bots do know

[hallow cosmos]

ahhhh, but can you finally explain what KuK means

[cunning lichen]

but

[blazing quest]

Just don’t bring a dd

Simple

[cunning lichen]

in randoms

it's annoying

quite annoying

[blazing quest]

You don’t need the vision from it anyways

[cunning lichen]

I want to play a DD or a cruiser

and all of a sudden

the CV decided to beline towards my flank and spot me

strike me

and I get sniped

[blazing quest]

I assume someone checked my stats

Awfully quiet

[cunning lichen]

"Must focus the purple player!"

[lucid wagon]

70% is rookie numbers

[steel pier]

its an abbreviation of the 2 nations, means. "Kaiserlich un Königlich" since one of the two had and Emperor, the other country a King

[lucid wagon]

pump those numbers up

what even is ur actual stat

[blazing dock]

some flex tape should do it

[blazing quest]

64 solo

[hallow cosmos]

ahhhhh, makes sense now thx

[hallow cosmos]

hows the yorktown?

im like 90k away from it

[blazing dock]

pretty intense game

[warm pier]

rip

[blazing dock]

lexington somehow whiffs torps on me and i survive

[warm pier]

very intense one

very very intense

had to clutch a lot

[lucid wagon]

heh

but damn

ok bro

[blazing quest]

Not my problem

I get griefed

[lucid wagon]

67% solo wr is kind of crazy tho wtf 😭

[cunning lichen]

Weekend players?

[blazing quest]

People can do 70 in short bursts solo

In like 90 day recents

[cunning lichen]

I cannot

[blazing quest]

Meh

Doesn’t matter

Sometimes you have good mm

[cunning lichen]

Only way I can achieve 70% WR in recents is by diving

[blazing quest]

And then you get touched and lose 5 in a row

[cunning lichen]

that's the only way

[blazing quest]

More unpredictable solo

[cunning lichen]

and or playing Thor

because my Thor is spited to win

ig

WG saw that I said it was shit and said I must have the highest WR on NA to spite me.

manipulating the MM

[cunning lichen]

also this is indeed do to alot of players where I question if they are AI or not

[little abyss]

🫃

[cunning lichen]

I cannot believe that some of these players I see in randoms sometimes are human

[lucid wagon]

have you met NA Supersoldiers Footgoo and Cash1942

[cunning lichen]

Ive met even worse probably

32% WR mfs

[lucid wagon]

how is that even possible

actual bot?

[cunning lichen]

inting every game

[lucid wagon]

bots have more influence

[cunning lichen]

bots would probably play better

they know the concept of the game

[lucid wagon]

its almost kind of impressive they have such a negative impact bots dont have

that they can get into 30% wr

[cunning lichen]

I mean I can probably see it actually being harder to get a 15% WR than it is to get a super unicum WR

[tawdry turret]

you can get lower wr by actually pushing people around killing them

( this was made in WoT ) and 8% WR exists

[lucid wagon]

only really possible if you have like triple div of people intentionally trying to make to make your team do as bad as possible

[tawdry turret]

[twilit thistle]

hmmge

[plush oxide]

icl

Since buying Sibir I don't think I'll ever play Kremlin again

[tawdry turret]

lmao

[mental sundial]

played against them today

[lucid wagon]

bro i swear san diego sucks ass

[mental sundial]

footgoo did better than half their team put some respect on his name

[lucid wagon]

it feels like i have negative dpm when i play san diego

as soon as like 3 shells touch their superstructure

[tawdry turret]

switch to the ones that you like

[lucid wagon]

i will prob play belfast 43

[blazing dock]

this looks like an album cover

[lament birch]

sd having quite a bit bonked sap dpm hurts it alot

[lucid wagon]

tad bit op croozer

[lucid wagon]

SAP shells are mega nerfed

for no reason

interesting

[tawdry turret]

[grim portal]

Yeah sandys SAP shells have insanely bad alpha

[lucid wagon]

every time i try to play san diego

give it a chance

it is so disappointing

i was only able to farm 88k damage in a full game because yo do like 300 dmg per shell 😭

i mean sure the first opening salvoes of 5-6k feel good but then its immediately replaced w/ just 0 damage

[grim portal]

Yeah

[jolly shard]

Thats why wg put it in collection

[grim portal]

I try to make it work but it feels only usable in ranked

[jolly shard]

sucks so bad when atlanta have more dpm,a tier lower,and also have heals

when youre so laggy

it does the hardest possible left or right

literally skill issue

[blazing dock]

i hope you get jumped by a vermont

this lag is getting to me

[cold geyser]

2 cv game

[scenic crater]

That’s small potatoes. You can sail away from fighters. But attack planes can follow you anywhere and there is nothing you can do about it.

[scenic crater]

Which is why they are banned in KOTS and clan battles.

[shadow rose]

what is this 2019?

[shadow rose]

for now, they are coming just as sure as rain

subs and cvs were game changers for sure, for the better

[river dune]

that was not a small change lol, cv's cant throw a fighter down and keep dd's perma spotted while they strike them for free. a dd can turn his aa off and manuever now, potentially throwing off a strike

it wasn't a game changing thing either, but there's no reason to undersell it

[little abyss]

That also got rid of firing and fires blooming your air detect

Air detect is basically now hard capped to if an attack squad is within 8km

[stiff burrow]

cvs are stupid and doodoo-maxxing

meanwhile based and sigma hybrids like Keksarge and hildebussy

And thank god for that

Playing cruisers in the old system was actually hell sometimes

[stiff burrow]

back your my day type shi

what

bro I can’t fucking type

[lucid wagon]

can we return the old flooding system

[stiff burrow]

I hate this

[lucid wagon]

actual permadeath flood

[light harbor]

Give us back old AA while you're at it

[lucid wagon]

i swear whenever i play bridgeport i get into a situation where being baltimore is inf better

[bronze flame]

Dint know york town had those planes i fr need to grind the planes

[lucid wagon]

i got jumped by two DDs who get smoking eachother

[stiff burrow]

can we also get back classified ops

[lucid wagon]

smh

[shadow rose]

[light harbor]

Soon, Baltimore is getting heals anyway

[river dune]

give us post-rework aa that was just a suggestion, instead

[light harbor]

One less than Bridgeport, but they'll be there

What post-rework AA?

[lucid wagon]

kind of sad about it actually

Baltimore shouldnt have heals (nor should cleveland)

alongside like 6-8 other T8 CA/CLs

[mint bluff]

It can what do a be like some that it can again

[lucid wagon]

and then Bridgeport, Atago, Prinz Eugen, basically anything which the gimmick is "you can actually survive" become worse then their counterparts

[light harbor]

The bigger issue is that WeeGee used that as a balancing tool for some reason

[lucid wagon]

its kinda funny at how badly this update was conducted

[blazing dock]

https://tenor.com/view/laughing-emoji-laughing-emoji-animated-laugh-gif-27394849

[light harbor]

If they didn't do that, we wouldn't be in this position

[stiff burrow]

stop making fun of me You furry

[tawdry turret]

well yea but it sacrifices said cruisers gimmicks

[mint bluff]

I still can't play cause I'm moving zzz

@tawdry turret I go to play massachusetts, look inside my commander skill tree

[lucid wagon]

top 10 builds?

Vigilance is a recommended skill on Massa?

[lucid wagon]

trust

[pliant relic]

Is that the torpedo warning thing

[light harbor]

No

[lucid wagon]

torped acquisition range increase

[light harbor]

Incidentally, you don't need to run that module either

[pliant relic]

ye

Does it affect the torp detection ranges of different torps??

[light harbor]

It increases them by a percentage in the case of Vigilance

[scenic crater]

The problem isn't that CVs could strike DDs for free. That is minor compared to a CV griefing a DD (or any ship without very good AA) by keeping attack planes spotting for a long time so the CVs teammates can just shoot them at will. That is the big problem. Having CVs self spot and attack is fine.

[tawdry turret]

i mean before that cv could do both

[river dune]

that...sounds like a nothingburger complaint?

[tawdry turret]

so why are we even complaining when one method is omitted from the equation

[river dune]

spotting was much easier when you could just throw a fighter down and oppress the dd yourself, now it's more difficult for the cv to do that

[rustic hearth]

with the right tactics you can surprise a CV in a dd as well

[hearty hound]

Diddly 💀 or drake 🤡

[rustic hearth]

[finite quail]

GUYS

HOW DO I GET A HILDEBRAND

[rustic hearth]

thats the neat part

you dont

[pliant relic]

sell soul

[scenic crater]

Only if the CV captain ignores the fact he is getting spotted by something and just blindly keeps attacking somewhere.

[finite quail]

:(((((((

[lucid wagon]

ok bro

[shadow rose]

oh nice, i miss detonations

[lucid wagon]

i dont

[tawdry turret]

holy its been a while

[lucid wagon]

how it felt to get hit by one CV rocket when im below like what was it, 70% health?

instantly fucking explode in DD

mmm

[grizzled cipher]

since smol's citadel is exposed, and HE splash cube, it rolled det chance

without hitting

[tawdry turret]

instantly explodes from 100%

[grizzled cipher]

youi ddidn't even have to get hit to det

[lucid wagon]

Suzuya ahh death 😭

i cant remember if Suzuya actually got hit or if it just exploded

the torpeds

[lament birch]

holy hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby ah mm

[grizzled cipher]

I used to play something like 400-600 games a month

[shadow rose]

they should put detonations into the special abilities for brawls thing

that could be fun

[boreal fable]

two vermonts and im the only crooser... :/

[grizzled cipher]

yeah no

[lucid wagon]

what is my luck in this game

fuck this game

how does Omono set 3 fires in one salvo

i get hit by 2 fletcher torps = 2 floods

[languid sleet]

yeah, maybe you play like a lot, more than me

[lucid wagon]

then illinois sets another 3 fires

this game fucking sucks

[grizzled cipher]

used to

[shadow rose]

be like that sometimes

[hexed escarp]

Nah they should bring it back
The pre+nerf version of it

[languid sleet]

Yeah, Match making system is kinda trash

[grizzled cipher]

old leg mod grind

[lucid wagon]

like bro

as soon as i fucking dcp the 3 omono fires

the most unscreened fletcher torps just randomly appear

(my fault for not expecting that) so i get hit by 2 torps.. 2 floods + illinois salvo does 3 fire??? So i just get immediately perma deathed??

like wtf???

[languid sleet]

Maybe that your team's fault

[grizzled cipher]

sounds like someone overextended

One last secondary shell clips the stern railing

Perma fire

[tawdry turret]

van coehoorn sets me on fire with every salvo over here

[little abyss]

Spotted again

[tawdry turret]

not even an airstrike could do that

[little abyss]

Three more fires

[lucid wagon]

fr tho

like goddamn

that was probably worse feeling then my alaska death to le havre

because it was also like 3 minutes in

[little abyss]

I low key wish that they handled fire chance like league crit chance

[lucid wagon]

wdym?

[little abyss]

It’s not truly random

[tawdry turret]

that was too fast

[hexed escarp]

Nah any nerf on fire chance is a buff to BBs

[lament birch]

1 shell hit fire vs 200 shells somehow and no fire

magic

[lucid wagon]

when i play American stuff

i get lit on fire by everything

[little abyss]

Your crit chance basically builds up to its expected value and then past it until you crit

And then goes back down

[lucid wagon]

but when i play Russian stuff i remember this utrecht hit me like 100 times

without a single fire

lmao

[tawdry turret]

well time to play Lenin

[little abyss]

But basically it’s there because people would take 1% crit rune and then crit like twice in a row from pure rng

And that highly diminishes that

[lucid wagon]

are we winning or losing

[tawdry turret]

losing

[eager pumice]

You will fast DCP then get triple fired right after

You know how this goes

[little abyss]

Basically fire chance should be something that you build up to instead of rolling lucky

[grizzled cipher]

baby's first kraken

[tawdry turret]

both Fletcher and Illi still alive smh

[glossy mountain]

You know what? Columbus died on May 20th. And on May 20th, Columbus joined Wows, and Wows will also be significantly weakened on May 20th. Isn't this quite a clever coincidence?,WG?
