0 anonym_uvIK2Buacfw6 Members 3 posts Report post #1 Posted January 8, 2018 looks like to me the game has become unplayable and unenjoyable at best, unless you at a magician and can spot the invisible enemy sometimes as close as 3 klm's away . I have had the spotting and targeting explained to me, however that is for the normal gameplay. this game is not behaving like normal at the moment and people refuse to accept this, I have had no response to why ships at this close range vanish and are able to shell or torpedo you at will while you can do nothing about it 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And in both cases they’ll need someone else to be spotting you for them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, we need a replay, I play from Adelaide with the exact same ping and have not seen what you describe. At tier 10 some DDs can get within 6kms but that's it.

0 anonym_uvIK2Buacfw6 Members 3 posts Report post #8 Posted January 8, 2018 nothing to do with spotting, no ship should be able to get unseen to within 3 klms of you, I wish people would just say if they don't understand, many here do have the same trouble, but don't tell me because you have no problems in this game that we don't as well.

The onus is on you to prove it, provide a replay and you will get an answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
17,272 [WOLF5] HazeGrayUnderway [WOLF5] Members 38,138 posts 30,896 battles Report post #13 Posted January 8, 2018 Every now and then some scrub comes onto these boards with gross exaggerations proclaiming some ship popping out of nowhere at 3km or some such nonsense. Any proof? Any replays? Of course not, they never do. More than likely it was some DD coming out of their detection range at 5.4-5.8km and rushed the dumba$$ BB while it was distracted. By the time the BB player notices, it's close range and too late. It's always a BB player complaining about ships with cloaking devices coming out of nowhere. I looked up the OP and what do you know... He was a BB player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I even get within 3km and sail parallel to him (smoke, them wait, them he was shooting at the cruiser, then speed boost to get in close) Edited January 8, 2018 by ObiwankzKenobi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Second, good lord, man, GRAMMAR! Third, whining and blaming the game and other people for your own failings is really not appreciated nor approved of around these parts, it's not appreciated nor approved of anywhere.
