It has become quite rare to see a DD smoke in cap for on reason, or over extending. The new meta, for DDs at least, has been a blessing. It teaches the smol botes not to rush to their death in the first 3 min of the match. Challenge: say something nice about the player you despise the most.

How utterly unexpected. Quote Challenge: say something nice about the player you despise the most. Well Saipan players, you may have planes that outmatch and outgimmick my Ranger at every turn because... iDunno, I guess the devs did it on a drunk bet. But at the very least you give me a challenge that I can feel really good about overcoming when I actually do outplay and kill you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Always kind of curious about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It may work in lower tiers, but not in high tiers. Best thing to do is back into the cap if there are 2 or more Radar botes to start capping, get spotted, speed boost out and let the radar die down, and try again.

I absolutely love those guys too. Was in a Dallas last night, carefully creeping up to the corner of an island (cuz I can read a minimap and I know what the "Spotted" icon means) when I get a chat message from a Budyonny "GET OUT OF MY WAY" and he goes charging forward between me and the island. Right into a wall of torps. So, after typing "Now THAT was funny" I pushed forward and took care of the still reloading DD. Chat turned a little blue for a while.
