I do seeing as its false that staying alive you wont have to pay more. Once you hit play and you enter a battle you have paid the full price of a ship.

I've seen a lot of DD players do it too. lol Though the one I do like is the DD player that freaks out "still" when Radio Location hits them when the match starts and refuses to move forward. They out right state in chat, "Im located, I'm not moving, someone else go..." Ya.... Sad thing is, I'm not joking and no this isn't an April Fool prank... It's happened... More than once.

822 BURN_Miner Members 3,010 posts 10,193 battles Report post #15 Posted April 1, 2017 The very next game: *sigh* I give up. Wait... Did I miss something or did the other teams Battleships simply annihilate your team's? When it becomes a case of 4 decent players vs 3 and 1 of those 3 die, the rest of the dominoes fall rather quickly. Meaning, your team "may" have had a decent Battleship player or two, but with the other variables that aren't seen here, they couldn't over come them. What is clear just going off the screenshot and your blanket statement, is that "you" are only being subject to the poor Battleship players. The other team however, is not. Again, this is the only conclusion that one can come to given the original post and the screenshot. If I were you, I would file a ticket to WarGaming and demand an immediate change to the MM to ensure that you have preferential MM, no matter the Tier you queue. Would that help?

Actually I wasn't trying to blame my teams BB's although they were probably part of the problem, just the pain of a good match that came out on the wrong side. The real problem to me was we were down a DD 2 - 3 and all three of the other teams DD's were much stealthier than our two. That put us behind the proverbial 8 ball from the beginning. One DD on each side went the potato route but that still left it at 1 vs 2 in the DD department and my experience is that without scouts matches go south rather quickly.
