Lowest damage to make top 5 in a victory?

[DingBat]

Just had a very weird game in my Fujin. The map is Two Brothers. We had two dd's, myself included. They had three, including a Gremmy and a Shiriatsu. We're starting on the north side. 

 

Anyway, game starts. I go east, the other dd goes west. I'm backed up by a Fiji and two battleships. All the rest go west. I manage to get into cap first and stealth cap. Just after capping I get spotted by the enemy Gremmy. He dumps smoke and starts firing. I dump torps and hit speed and boogie. Lots of shells flying around. 

 

The next part of the battle is me sweeping around, spotting stuff, and dumping the odd wall of skill. The enemy Gremmy gets spotted again, gets hit hard, and I clean it up with a salvo. We're still facing another destroyer, 2 cruisers, and 3 battleships. 

 

Our Fiji and a battleship decide to press for some reason and get deleted quickly. I tell the other bb I'm going defensive and he should boogie while I try to cover him. He bails. I'm still dumping torps and not hitting a damn thing. The Shiri is doing the same thing as I'm having to dodge every now and then. 

 

We finally make it out of the danger area. The enemy Shiri starts capping. I'm playing with a couple of Japanese cruisers and an enemy bb who are pressing as well, again, not hitting anything. After one torp pass I happen to run into the Shiri who is low health. I end his game but he gets off torps and sinks the battleship. 

 

Now I'm basically alone against 2 cruisers and 2 battleships. Normally, that would be kind of a juicy opportunity but I cannot hit anything. 

 

Our team finally wins it. 

 

The result:

 

 

and

 

 

Shockingly, I'm top five with less than 4k damage. Yeah, the cap and the kills count for a lot, but still. You tell someone you only did 4k damage in a game and they're like "scrub". But that was a VERY active game, where I felt surviving was worth quite a lot. 

 

Anyway, the point of this whole topic: What's the lowest damage you've done, won, and managed to make the top 5 on the team?

DDs in general are prone to this.  IF you get a bad team and help CAP something, you are gonna be in the top half.

I had a 0 damage loss in the Hiryu and got 5th, does that count?

That definitely counts. You win.

I had a ~25,000 Kracken a couple days ago.  Felt dirty...

Shot down a lot of planes and spotting damage?

[Wulfgarn]

I've never had that happen to me before.

 

That's pretty crazy!

Tier 5 Gnevny...   High speed runs..  never fired a shot.  Took 5 caps.  (in a 3 cap map)

Just practiced awareness and staying out of detection range.

Ended up in first place "YOU HAVE NOT PROVED YOURSELF IN BATTLE"...   lol

Sorry -- didn't save the screens -- wish I did.

Had a 1250 damage first spot in a Fletcher.  Was a ring around two brothers game.

Not sure if this was my lowest, but it was one of the most memorable. First time where no ships were lost in a victory.

This was from before cap points actually gave decent XP so despite having nearly 100% of cap points I actually came bottom XP

 

Can't find the pic but after they gave too much XP for caps I had a top XP with like 3 HE hits but 2 full caps & an assist in an IJN DD.

Made 5th. Because apparently crowding 12 ships into A10 on Islands of Ice is the new cool.

 

Edit: That one salvo was fired at max range. I literally couldn't reach anyone else. My poor Shima gets bored because this happens every time she gets let out to play.

[Peregrinas]

Not top 5 but... uhm... wow.

 

 

[chewonit]

Amateurs.

 

Not a victory. But 0 damage netted me the 1st place. Top that!

Lol, that's brilliant. Except you lost. Still, a good try.

I don't have screenshots, but I once finished 2nd on the team in a victory doing 8k damage in the pre nerf Minekaze.  I capped a point or two, and all my damage came from torping one enemy DD.

 Can't find the pic but after they gave too much XP for caps I had a top XP with like 3 HE hits but 2 full caps & an assist in an IJN DD.

 Found the screenshots: 2 caps, 1 HE hit, 2nd place.
