You're right, WARBEASTY is worse, but only barely.

What the gently caress is the "server average" when you mouse over segments on the bar graph? It's telling me that Warbeasty's 27.69% win rate in the Hakuryu puts him just barely in the top half of NA Hakuryu players?

EDIT: Apparently Warbeasty actually has a ship he seems to do well with. You'll never guess what it is.

Oh I did find the settings, the problem is all the options are both turned on and greyed out, and all the exclusion addition options on that page are also greyed out.

Some googling led to this. If that doesn't work, maybe start a thread in Haus of Tech Support.

No, I think that just says the server average is 51%. Also, this website is pretty sweet. Did it recently get implemented? Back when I played there was only warshipstats really.

My winrate seems to go down as I play better.

I guess it's probably more I tend to play better when the team is bad because I have to try and carry, but I'm not good enough to do actually do it successfully at a high rate.

It is the deepest game ever. Nothing compares to its epic story.
I'm debating respecing my shima captain again.

I'm not sure if I like having torp acceleration over extra time in smoke. I also don't think I need last stand.

Just really sucks without having some perks to reduce reload time of torps... anyone want to weigh in.

I'm convinced the game stacks against you. The better I do, the more I'm at the top of the scoreboard with an extra loss on the record.

Like I said, I kept getting poo poo lords on my team over and over... not to mention I'm constantly against 2 Yamato's in my Izumo. I know we've got a lot of good players in this thread that seem to be able to overcome time and time again, I guess I'm not good enough to be the sole reason my team wins every time out.

Is there a good rule of thumb for the amount of damage you should be putting out in order not to actively hinder your team?

I've been using the tanks rule of your HP or higher to mean that you sucked but you weren't a drain. Double your HP means you were contributing, etc.

I mean, a team where everyone did double their HP in damage would crush every game. I.E. Tirpitz's doing 120k+, etc. Most pubbies don't come anywhere near that.

Yeah, it's not mathematically possible for your team to all do twice their HP in damage, barring something weird like 12 Shimikazes vs 12 Yamatos.

If most players on your team are playing decently, it's generally difficult to get double your hp in damage unless you're in a destroyer, especially as you get higher up in tier. Teams generally have around the same total hp, after all, so if most players do well it's far harder to put up an exceptional number. There's also the issue that if you're exclusively focusing on damage, you may be a poo poo player regardless. Battleships that hide at the back of the line leaving the cruisers to take all the fire or cruisers that leave pushing battleships exposed to destroyers and massed enemy ships are both lovely players, regardless of how much damage they actually manage to cause.

And yes, while many players who play like that are generally crap overall, there are ones that actually do have somewhat decent aim and can do good damage. They're still a poo poo player though.

What ship were you in?

Also, I kind of move around where I think a personal good game is depending on circumstances. If I do just my HP in damage while driving my Mogami in a Tier X match, that's a great game in my opinion, but just my HP in my Nuremberg in a Tier VI match is a meh game.

http://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/cbt/patch-alert-0532/

from the website posted:

Camouflage

Added two new camos:

Type 5 Camo: Gives both bonuses to concealment (3%) and accuracy decreases for enemies that fire at this ship (4%)
Type 6 Camo: gives same bonuses as Type 5 and in addition improves the experience earned in battle (2x improvement)
Other changes to camouflage

All permanent camos (including Premium ship camo) now also give bonuses for concealment and accuracy decreases for enemy ships
Special camos (Halloween camo, Ranked battles camos, New Year camos) now also give bonuses for concealment and accuracy decreases for enemy ships
Permanent camos of upgradable ships now also give additional discounts to repair costs (10% for Tier IX ships, 5% for other Tier ships)
For consistency reasons, the numeric numbers of some camo titles were changed

This is probably good news? at least for people with permanent camo, Type 5 and 6 sound like premium camo to me.

Minekaze, which makes it a lot easier.

It was really like shooting fish in a barrel. A Tier III cruiser with 1000 hp left turned around to stop the cap but he ate a torpedo without ever seeing me.

Nope. Type 5 is for Kamikaze R. No idea about Type 6 but definitely not Sims (Type 7) or MK/Atago/Tirpitz/Iowa (Type 8).

I bought the Atago when I started playing. I must've done really, really badly early on. If you look at the more recent stats, my Atago is a little above average. I love that ship.

I frequently don't have a mic and just chill there to IM dudes and then play. But then sometimes I do. There's four people in WoWS discord now.

Sometimes there's no one, other times there's two divisions worth, sometimes we have enough for a full team battle and then some. Depends on the day.

Also wdarkk that wasn't me that was some other goon :pwn:

Carriers are really the only ships this happens regularly against. I was a bit surprised in a recent game where 6" AP shells hitting a Hosho deck almost vertically were bouncing. But if you're close enough to hit the hull even HE will rip those early carriers apart.
