If you're hard carrying ALL the time and still losing, you're not carrying hard enough. Because the potatoes are on the other team as much as they are yours, over a large enough sample size. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At times, when you try to give some advise you get the funniest of rebuttals. Sometimes, snowflakes will be snowflakes. What can you do about it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had no idea that I was throwing games because I was grinding up the US carrier branch. If everyone played as you wished there would be little variety in Random battles. I can't wait until Ranked comes back so people with your attitude will stop playing Random battles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, no let's all be just like you, constantly unhappy chasing that elusive thing called "a win." Thanks, but no thank you.

Until WG introduces Beginner and Advanced team play arenas, their games will always be this way. It is a money making machine, meant to be open to the masses. Winning is nice, but isn't something one should ever expect. So it is play your best and have fun. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, you are, you are throwing gamer by playing USN carriers, that is a fact, because wargaming has done such a horrible job with CV balance. Fact is, not other ship line throws games as baldy as US CV's. So how about you show some common courtesy to your fellow players and leave the things in coop only until wargaming pulls their heads out of their asses and actually fixes the things. In case you haven't figured it out, CV's are unique in that the rest of the team generally cannot pull the dead weight of a bad CV, where as a poorly balanced non CV is much easier for the rest of the team to make up for that deficiency.

Fact is, this isn't a highly competitive game, a majority of the players don't play regularly, don't learn much about the game. They are here to sail ships and shoot at stuff.

I try to help my team mates and most of the time a great idea, come to find out was'nt a great idea. I don't team kill and I watch my torps. I take caps, that come to find out my team does'nt want.

All arguments about the validity of playing if you are not a skilled player aside, this is absolutely ridiculous. And a quick look at your CV stats makes me strongly suspect you have personal feelings clouding your objectivity on the matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, no let's all be just like you, constantly unhappy chasing that elusive thing called "a win." Thanks, but no thank you. The player base isn't here to conform to how you perceive things should be. You do know that winning is the literal only objective of every team vs. team game ever, right? Roll dice on the floor of you want to pass the time without caring. But if you choose to play a team game, you're on a team and your job is to help your team win, not derp around and bring aggravation to everyone you get teamed up with.

4,053 [SYN] MrDeaf Members 16,027 posts 12,803 battles Report post #23 Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) It is true though. Saipan is about the only USN CV that does well against Hiryu. Both stomp Ranger Essex vs. Taiho is one of the worst matchups possible, because of how inflexible Essux loadout is in comparison to AS Taiho. I especially like how AS Hakuryu can tie up all the bombers on Midway. That's sure fair and balanced. Edited January 22, 2017 by MrDeaf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So....basically....you're trying to say that someone who wins more is not a better player than someone who wins less often? Please, quit trying to delude yourself into thinking stats don't mean anything just because your stats don't match your overinflated self image.
