fairness

[jimpat2]

how r ranked opposing teams selected?  just finished a battle with 12 players.  i was playing my Tirppitz a tier 8 BB.  the layout was like this...5 tier 10's 4 tier 9's and 3 8's.  i was sunk 2 min into the battle with 2 salvos from the yamatos at 25k and 10 torps from the shimikazi a tier 10 dd with 20 k torps and 7k detectibility.  when does the game start when there are tire 6's and 7's not happening

Go back to low tiers and level a ship line up naturally. 

 

Don't skip straight to T8.

 

The Tirpitz is one of the best ships out there irregardless of if there are T10's or not.

 

*edit*

 

Oh ouch... you've got an Iowa...

 

Hmm...

 

Nevermind!

 

Have you tried Co-op?

[Spooooooooooooooooooooon]

I love the fair.  Funnel cake, rides, music, games...

Plenty of players out there that have powerleveled a line up to T8/T9, even T10.  Unfortunately playing that way doesn't mean you've learned how to play well.  Hell, I've taken my time, never spent free XP to skip much of anything. am at T6/7 on almost every line, and I'm still barely decent on a good day.

Not 100% sure what you are asking here. But the Tirpitz is a great ship that can handle being bottom tiered just fine, as long as you play her smart and don't just yolo out in front in the opening moments of a match.

What???? This is indecipherable. I'd answer the question if I could figure out what it is. . .

This is probably good advice here.  OP, 80% of your games are in PvE.  It is totally different playing real people.  Try being patient a bit, let your team engage with you, and try to stay unnoticed until you can get closer.  Tirpitz is a beast in close.  Other players know that and if they see you coming, they'll try their best to sink you before you can get in on them.  Especially, if you get up against a team that has some good shots and they see you out at 20km and they have no other targets, you're gonna get rained on big time.

If you can, try to find a good player and division with them for awhile, ask questions, watch what they do.  It isn't impossible to get better at this point (but it sure feels like it sometimes)

If you're eating 10 torps from a single salvo then I'd say you probably have a bad case of straight-line syndrome

[RipNuN2]

OP if you are asking if the rank of players from ranked battles is taken into account in random battles, the answer is no. 

[FayFay731]

Yes. YES show me your broadside!

[aAkula]

20,000 Damage in an Iowa?

30,000 Damage in a Tirptiz?

 

Clearly hasn't got a grasp for the game...

Yep, stats don't mean anything

[jimpat2]

damn ppl,  i wasnt asking a question but more of a statement.   i have been playin for almost a year with over 5000 games so i dont need a lecture.  my statement was it doesnt seem right for someone to launch torps from 20k.  they dont play the game they just shoot randomly and hope for the best.  the player was already pink so that should tell u something.   damn arm chair admirals 

[1SneakyDevil]

Moral of the story is don't potato to start the match. The issue is more about your lack of situational awareness than fairness. 

 

The Shima driver being pink and the range of the torps is meaningless if you ate 10 torps you were broadside and not paying attention which explains why the Yammy crushed you as well.

If you get hit by the Shimas 20 km range torps that can be spotted from over 2km out, then you have a total lack of awareness and don't exercise WASD enough.

There was a statement in there!?!?!

[Taichunger]

I have 700 games in Tirpitz, so you are welcome to div with me if you see me on the server. But it seems to me from your average damage that you are probably not playing conservatively enough, especially in the opening minutes, and especially when you are uptiered. Low damage totals imply that your shell/target choice is wrong, your shooting is bad, or you are dying too early. 

[anonym_OlK73e329bMY]

Play more conservatively early on, when there are a lot of enemies still around.

No you do need a lecture, because you are having trouble with fundamental skills and are playing way above the tier you should be practicing at.

And somewhere in those 5000 plus games you should have learned not to sail in straight lines for extended periods of time

And how did you know that someone on the other team was pink?

[jimpat2]

lol, too many chiefs and not enough indians...

[Shadeylark]

OP is the reason behind the overabundance of collapses lately... and even worse he doesn't seem inclined to improve his play, or even attempt to do so.

 

I'm probably wasting my breath, but the instant you get that yellow detected symbol on your screen start switching up your speeds and engage wasd hacks if you don't wanna run into a shimas water mines or get smacked by a yammy from across the map.

 

If you just "w" once spotted, you deserve to be [edited] slapped... but even more important your team doesn't deserve to have to carry your obvious ineptitude.

[Camo68]

Yea hit by 10 shima torps (@20k damage each) sent from 20km away

They are so far spaced out at that range that you could only take 1 per salvo.   I think you may be exaggerating your case just a little bit!!

Nah, like I said earlier he was probably broadside and took many of them like 7-8 km from the Shima.

[jimpat2]

lol, the whole site is experts,  actually i was askin if 20k torps was fair,  i guess if i had the DD they would b...but here is something to think about.  at 10k torps fired at a target 10k away traveling @ 60Knots u have 6 sec from the time they r fired to impact with a 2k detction that leaves 2 sec.  ok experts show me ur vid.  i was in a team game and just finished a 180 deg turn when the torps appeared 2 sec away.  all u arm chair admirals some with worse stats than me with the criticism...  those who live in glass houses
