The most annoying thing to happen is...

[_Rumple_]

For me, popping smoke in a British CL, firing away at the enemy when, BLAM!, a battleship comes plowing through my smoke, pushes me out of my smoke sideways to the enemy, I get citadelled while acting as his new personal armor, then die. Worse thing is that its happened more than once to the point where I think its gone from accidental obliviouseness to deliberately pushing me out of my smoke so they can use it. Anyway, this 'new tactic' is by far the most annoying. What's your pet peeve?

I'm a simple guy: Pet peeve is people not knowing how torps work and launching a barrage from behind their own team and torping us (yes, even after this long i still see it happen daily)

So, position yourself away from traffic areas? You can't stop stupid, only counter stupid.

I have had this happen a few times myself. Most of the time though I come in like a SS agent trying to protect the President and intentionally let them ram me to get them to slow down and cover them with smoke. 

 

Personal pet peeve is getting detonated... twice in the same day.

...When I manage to HE most of a BB's AA and DP secondaries away, but can't set a single fire on it. Also, I hate it when dispersion just says "nope" to 10 salvoes in a row.

pet peeve....

Clicking BATTLE then realizing it is Saturday afternoon...

[BladedPheonix]

sure its not getting Detionation? cause that's what I was expecting when I clicked on the link.....

[TurboT]

LOL.. I have so many of these murphy's law irritating things that happen.

 

Popping Smoke to shoot from it only to have everyone around you dive into your smoke and not spotting anything, hence making smoke useless since now nothing is lit. (Brit cruiser especially).

Patiently awaiting multiple fires while getting HE spammed, hitting repair, and getting set on fire again the next shell the knicks your ships after repair cool down over.

Timing your turn away in a cruiser to avoid broadside salvo only to get RNGscrewed by a citadel shot in the [edited].

 

Just a couple from me.

 

[GhostSwordsman]

Hmm... pet peeve?

 

Battleships that only shoot HE.

 

It's annoying being shot at by BB HE, and it's unhelpful when BBs shoot HE, especially when they're well within 9km of an enemy (BB).

As always.... those players that think they know better then you how to drive your ship.

I went into battle with the Prinz Eugen on North, Domination. Spawning on the far right (C and D) was myself, an Ibuki and two DDs. Behind us, was a Ranger. Both of the DDs went to C and I and the Ibuki followed. Shortly thereafter, enemy DDs were spotted and began to smoke. I got several shots into the enemy DD as did the other ships, untill the DD vanished in the smoke.

Then our first DD got torpedoed. At that point, the Ibuki began to leave. I turned to right, on a general heading towards D as well as to cover the remaining DD when 3 red BBs turned up, a Bismark, Tirpitz, and an Amagi. The Last DD was then blown apart, and I left the area losing half my health pulling out. The Ibuki never took a hit as she was long gone.

As I was sailing past the Island south and west of C, what do I see sailing towards me but the Ranger. I immediatly get on the team chat and tell the Ranger to get out of this area. As I am saying so, both the C and D points are being capped by the red team. I continue to sail away, and as I passed, it appeared the Ranger was turning as well.

 

About a minute later, the Ranger is screaming for help. A look at the mini-map shows him sailing right into the C cap. I message that I had told him to leave. His response was come back and support him.

All three BBs (and based on the shells coming in at least a cruiser and a few DDs) ended him rather quickly.

Before I finally disabled his messages, the CV proceeded to rant at me for not staying and helping him for several minutes. I may not have helped soothed his fury by commenting I had warned him and if he had taken a look at his mini-map, he would have noticed the lack of friendly ships and two caps being taken.

I then disabled his messages thus his reply is unknown by me......

  Speaking of annoying smoke foibles:

 

  Players who pop smoke preemptively -to help the team.   Great, those enemy ships we were lining shots up on just disappeared...  You provided great cover- for the enemy team.   Someone has to be out there spotting those enemies...

 

  I see this all the time.  We'll be in a fight with someone, when suddenly, the lights go out.   Invariably turns out to be a teammate trying to "help".   Especially irritating, when you had the other guy on the ropes, and were about to deliver the knockout punch.  Instead, he gets to escape to continue shooting at us.

 

- those who insist on driving right between you and a ship you're actively dueling with.

I think this is it for me.

It's usually a DD who runs way out front and overextends, spots the entire enemy team barreling down on us and lays down a big huge smoke screen that leaves our team completely blind since the DD insists on staying safely tucked inside.

Bonus round: there's an unspotted enemy DD nearby to keep our poor blind cruisers and BBs lit for the enemy horde to have target practice.

Championship round: the DD lays their smoke so close to the enemy that the enemy just rushes in, kills the DD, and claims the smoke for themselves.

 

 

I know that I have been this guy at some point when I was still learning how to DD, but I still get mad every time it happens.

The only thing that really bothers me in game is rudeness. Don't get me wrong, I don't ragequit over it. I mean you have to get used to it eventually. You can't play an online game and not get sworn at or insulted, but a little decorum can go a long way to making your team more productive and fun.
