Had a good match, did 190k in damage, high caliber, yet lost. After a moment of reflection at the result screen, hit battle again. Another tier 9 match with CVs on two brothers. Immediatly teammates demands we all yolo down the middle. After several moments of disagreements and urging by Yolo player, everyone on team, except for myself, a FdG, a CA and a DD, all go up the middle. Yes, even the CV went. I stayed out, supported the CA and DD that didn't go middle. FdG got erased by wall of skill. Soon it was just me and then I got erased. 20k damage. miserable performance. Yolo group not only makes it through mid, Caps the point, and proceeds to crush the red team for the win. words just fail me at this point..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I go out in the Chappy and come within 4k of getting Witherer on Hotspot; loss. I take it out again on Okinawa, end up bow-on between two broadsiding allied BBs, and yet a full NINE enemies decide to target me. The bottom-tier CL. Ended that performance with 26k damage; win. Sometimes I wish you could pick and choose what victories to apply your bonus to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Needless to say those teams died very fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow- you just described my experiences Friday, (attempting to) playing NC, AL, and AZ. Painful losses, and even more painful wins... Just as you posted: If I did reasonably well, the team would melt or just hand away a nice lead and we'd lose. If it was a win (and there were darned few...), it would be a sad pathetic low damage game for me. Absolutely nothing in between. I ended the day much richer, thanks to the special flags- and with all 3 containers and a full step farther on in the Bizzy campaign, but it was anything but fun. In fact, I never did get ANY wins in Alabama or Arizona- I headed to Co-op just to get the +300 first win bonus. (and promptly started having fun matches again. Weird,lol) Something else I noticed: Every tier 6 match I tried to play was horrible- just horrid everything, inc the mm. If I played a tier 8 ship, it was just as bad- nothing but tier 10's, a few 9's- and me. Very poor play quality overall. One match, there was my 'Bama (almost full health) an Iowa, (full health), a cruiser, and a DD (also quite healthy) all defending the North cap on Brothers from a Bismarck, a T9 German BB, and a cruiser. I had just made it up there to help them, when they all turned tail and ran! I had no choice but to follow, trading shots with both BB's and grinding the T9 well down on hp. The cruiser kept popping in and out of view, so I didn't bother with it. 4 of us vs 3 of them- and they ran us off the cap... By the time I'd made it to the islands by D (to turn around under some cover so I didn't get citted for it), I noticed Iowa hiding behind that island in the Northeast corner, and the DD and CA had simply scattered. I switched my fire to Bismarck, who had entered D (which was ours), to keep him from taking it, but the combined focus of both german BB's finally wore me down. FDG was below 1/3 health, and Iowa was nearly full- I figured he could handle him, or at least keep him off my back whilst I saved our (last remaining) cap. Nope, Not happening. They won on points shortly after I died. We were up by 200 when I went to help at the Northern cap... The rest of our team mob rushed D, sweeping the reds out of it- then just stayed there, letting all momentum just slip away... They got picked apart one by one. It's why the four of us returned north- to stop the group of reds from flanking us and taking our cap. I was just speechless by the end of the game... That was the best of all the losses- in the rest we never even got a lead TO lose. Tier 7, on the other hand, was pretty decent, and I had a string of wins with Colorado. Not necessarily pretty wins, mind you, but wins nonetheless. Those special flags and their multipliers give out silly amounts of xp and credits! I'm almost afraid to see how much I'd get if I had an actual good AND winning game,lol. Suffice to say, I'm a few million credits richer, and up to 17 points on my Captain. It just seems odd how some tiers are decent, and others are just horrible. I have yet to venture into pvp today, but did play a bunch of pve games this morning- since they were working for me Yesterday and Friday. Silly stuff happening today... A match vs the retarded bot's even dumber cousins ended WAY too early when they ran out of points. Several of them sat tangled in a cluster- in the middle of nowhere- and had no idea what to do or where to go. I rolled right up to them in my Colorado- they hardly even bothered shooting at me. Then, poof! it's over... Half the reds still alive, a couple of us in position to wreck face- and the game ends. GRRR I hate that. (funny thing about that match- it was 100% USN ships! Nothing but NM's and CO's with an Independence and an AZ- because those two just HAD to be different, lol The razzing in chat about that was pretty fun, too.) Then I ran into what is most likely the serial WE'RE GONNA LOSE!!! guy from a thread a couple of days ago. Land of Fire map. Me, in my Pepsi, a guy in Schors- and all the rest in tier 7 and 8 BB's. Everyone heads for the middle, with a couple of us going East to flank with some cover. (6 BB's bristling with 15 and 16" guns vs my just enough armor to guarantee at least a normal pen- yeah- I was going to need some cover for this one, lol) The bots formed an 8 ship murder ball and charged right down the middle. I got me a prime seat on the flank, and proceeded to abuse the broadsides of all the bot-lemmings intent on charging the Southern map border. Things were going great- then some teammates died, and the griping started. "Yep-we lost this one" etc, followed by scathing commentary on the team's play, and attempts to micromanage those of us still alive. One guy going on and on about how our Tirpitz was playing his ship wrong, and someone else agreeing with him. (by this time, Tirp had made it all the way to their cap, and was brawling an NC- which he killed.) Then he's whining about "HE Shooters", and how they and the runners had cost us the game. Now we're down to Tirp and me vs Torpenau and 2 NC's. A typhoon is raging and visibility sux. Tirp kills one NC, and is now free to cap with nobody anywhere near to spotting him. The other two are down in that tight group of islands (where C cap usually is), having chased me in there. Thanks to the typhoon, I was leading these two on a merry chase around the islands. Bombing them with HE whenever I spotted one, and then popping out of sight. The grumbling continued about "runners", with one asking why I was running. ( DUH- I'm in a Pepsi- alone vs 2 BB's... I'm also keeping them occupied whilst Tirp caps us out, and working my way to him to join up- but if they couldn't see this, I wasn't going to tell them...) Eventually, I worked my way free and joined Tirp in the cap. The chat box guys express surprise that we're about to win. Best part: Just as we cap out, the NC and Torpenau pop into view heading strait for us. So long, suckers! I didn't bother to check the team results screen. I did what I came to do: finish the fire portion of the Dunkirk mission, do lots of damage in my Pepsi, and grab the first win bonus. But that was an awful lot of grumbling and griping over a CO-OP match... Is there something in the water this weekend?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
