Agreed, I thought it was my aged rig. Thanks for the tip. Edit: It was already grayed out.

Slapping Incomparable player (who was clueless) fully broadsided reversing out into kill box. 1 Citadel, then 3 to sink her with a Yamato. I felt dirty yet satisfied.

Research, research, practice, research, practice. That was my cyclic method when I was starting out. Sure sometimes I went straight in (sometimes with great results), but I was a curious sort and wanted to learn the game mechanics more. So back to researching and learning the game was pushed to the top of my priority at the time. After awhile, I got comfortable and it was just picking up the 'new' mechanics along the way as it does. Welcome to the game and I wish you great success and ultimately a greater enjoyment from it.

I don't prefer to be the one to say "it's a free country game ", but it is. Let the players enjoy the game within the confines of the allowed rules. Same can be said of the 3 ship Division of cruisers or battleships. Just have fun with it.

That is not acceptable by any standards. We are all as a whole, a community, of the same tribe, 'in the circle'. Such perpetrators should be "Rick Roll'ed" of the community. Glad to hear that the patch fixed the exploit.

Well it's better than encountering a player in a Missouri (EU), just circumnavigating the map without firing his guns once. Or getting in spotting range, and full stops. A real troll, of trolls. That is frustrating. Match making roulette, I'm used to/expected.

Explain please

That is one way of looking at it. Another is we are given a choice, or rather few choices. Having said that, I would like to see a return to of the previous means of achieving such RB points.

Thank you, my poor attempt with Photoshop software.

1000000000 % please WG.

Anything that "over performs" in any metric (guns, popularity, earning potential, performance, unique abilities, upcoming ships, or just "because we want to for giggles", etc) will be on top of their list to tick off. That is what I suspect.

Go big or go home, seems to be the tactic with that goal. Take extra squishy ships like RN light cruisers (everyone likes to take a shot at them), or super duper fast French destroyers for more sweaty palms. Just aim for being the mega baiter of the games.

Well, I'm not the first one to share my own experience here with matches that are pretty much a stomp fest. Yesterday, I tried my hand at Random games (after a grueling Ranked games). Guess what, it was actually worse than my Ranked "ROFL stomp" games. I wonder though, is it my own lack of awareness of the past experiences or that I'm more 'knowledged' now to notice it. Either way, it's not pleasant when being on the wrong end of the Match making pendulum.

Ok, either shake hands or grab some gloves and duke it out for 5mins you two.

Oh, I'm aware of those (mostly thanks to your wonderful explanations over the years on this forum - Thank you ) . I've just over simplified it for the sake of brevity and a crude lack of my visual skills.
