I sold my Kawachi and bought a Myogi, not grasping that it has the speed of a cruiser and the turn radius of the Great Pyramid.

How hosed am I?

Today I saw a carrier player bitching at the rest of us for not rushing to save him because he sat on his rear end at spawn and never paid attention to all those incoming enemy cruisers.

We won the match just fine without him. :coal:

So I guess the moment you elite a ship its exp is set to zero.

This has not been my experience. My Isokaze has full upgrades and is still accruing XP (4.4k and counting) even though I've already unlocked the Minekaze. As far as I can see, there's no option to convert XP without spending real money.

Dear Fusou player and Mutsuki player I sank on North today: how on earth do you get to tier six without figuring out that evading torpedoes, or at least changing your course after you get torpedoed the first time, is kind of important? :wtc:

This was using a Minekaze with the A hull, stock 7km torps and a captain who hadn't finished retraining.

If they nerfed air dropped torpedoes then they should buff dive bombers. It seems weird that I can get 4 torpedo hits and 7 bomb hits and yet the bomb hits and fire damage combined is still 25% of the torpedo damage.

I once saw a stick of dive bombers take a poo poo on my Kuma. Knocked out a torpedo launcher for five seconds and did zero damage to the hull. :iiam:

I just had the best round ever. Not because of anything I did, but because matchmaking put a Murmansk on the other side and a Clemson on his own team went "WALLET WARRIOR DETECTED" and torpedoed him at the start of the round.

Then the Clemson got TK'd by someone else, I defended our point, and we won.

It's amazing how many carrier players still don't understand the importance of not sitting at spawn.

Or the fact that a carrier with no planes can still cap points, be a distraction, or otherwise contribute to a team effort.

It takes the highest tier and then pairs it with the worst possible tier any boat in your div could see. So if you have a T5 CV, and then a T4 BB, and a T6 CA it'll take the 6 of the CA, and the MM of a BB, and give you up to T9 opponents.

For any newbies who stumble across this post, the above is not a joke.

I don't know what happened to the matchmaking, but now I'm repeatedly seeing tier IV and even III ships thrown into games with multiple tier VIIs. No grouping involved.

Also I'm pretty sure I had two consecutive games with the same Nagato player who sat at spawn doing absolutely gently caress all until enemy TBs found him halfway through the match, at which point he lumbered off in the opposite direction from the point that needed defending.

Welp, just saw the most amazing shithead. I was in a BB, slugging it out at close range with another BB (and winning) when I noticed this friendly Omaha come sailing straight towards us without firing a shot. Not only did he sneak in to steal my kill, he did it by firing a literally point blank torpedo spread that was aimed directly at me and would have sunk my boat if any one of them missed the target.

By some miracle I survived and we won the round, but gently caress that guy.

Leave it to pubbies to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Today I saw seventy percent of my team do a tight lemming rush to point C on New Dawn immediately after one of the few competent players specifically said not to do that.

I also saw an rear end in a top hat in a Kongou on Ocean who sailed all the way around the enemy cap to boost his own score, ignoring the people in chat who were begging him to get on the loving point before the one destroyer capping it got taken out.
