Yeah, I am doing poorly, then great, then poorly, then above average... And yet, still losing. But I am still having fun. However, I feel bad for my teammates when I make stupid rookie mistakes. ~B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My first game in my shiny new Kii was a 128k damage loss: Then, later on last night I had an epic Akizuki game to make up for some lackluster games prior: Just goes to show that even heartbreaks can lead to awesomeness.

397 surratus Members 1,066 posts 4,705 battles Report post #3 Posted September 26, 2017 OP, seems like a win/win to me. 1) You're still having fun. Without that why play the game? and 2) You feel bad when you make a mistake that hurts your team. That tells me you still care about improving and you feel a sense of teamwork, thus making you a growing asset to any team. Keep those two points functioning and the rest is just statistical gibberish. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,202 [HC] SgtBeltfed [HC] Beta Testers 3,973 posts 13,807 battles Report post #4 Posted September 26, 2017 Yes, oh yes. At the moment, it's a story of getting stuck on teams that are either AFK, didn't load, or would have in many cases been more useful AFK, and getting nothing to show for it no matter how good or bad my game actually was.

900 vonKaiser Alpha Tester 2,902 posts 6,252 battles Report post #7 Posted September 26, 2017 I hate when it happens. Mainly because it makes me start rethinking the match and wondering what I needed to do even better, in a good game to have pulled off the win... For instance one that stands out for me was a 163k damage game with Dreadnought, fireproof, Kraken, devastating strike, high caliber, confederate. In the USS Texas. Made 591k credits on the loss though. Second one was a game in my Belfast. 182k damage, Witherer, Arsonist, High Caliber, and Confederate awards. 640k credits on that one though.

70 [SC] KITFOX4 [SC] Beta Testers 336 posts 6,922 battles Report post #9 Posted September 26, 2017 I generally do above average damage, but I'm not very often in position where I can carry. I've been on a downhill slide for losses for about 2 weeks now. Still at 53%, but won't be at this rate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
348 [5IN] bassmasta76 Members 2,109 posts 10,709 battles Report post #10 Posted September 26, 2017 Tell me about it. It took me 4 games in my shiny new Zao to get a win... though on the bright side, I'm averaging 108k dmg over those 4 games, so I must be doing something right (just not winning). b Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
197 [SPNRD] Beorn_of_the_NorthernSea Members 768 posts 8,820 battles Report post #11 Posted September 27, 2017 My Großer Kurfürst is STILL not the Bismarck for me, and yes I know, my Bismarck Captain is a 17 pointer while my GK's is 14 points, but he's got the Advanced Firing Training AND the Manual Secondaries, so... I can do some nasty damage with it. I just get impatient. It seems as if my Bismarck works for me better. But I will NOT GIVE UP! ~B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

16 [WOLFB] LordJP_ Members 47 posts Report post #13 Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) This is a bad feeling this game can generate. The frustration of making a mistake that may cause your team to lose the battle. This match comes to mind every time I think about playing WoWs since it happened yesterday. I still feel frustrated for not finishing off that Bayern when he had 9k hp at the start. At the end, our team was less than 10 points behind and we lost when time ran out. The Bayern survived with less than 4k hp and only the Kamikaze wouldn't be enough to win the game for the enemy. If only that Bayern was dead we would have enough points to win, but who knows...
