8,471 [GWG] BrushWolf [GWG] Alpha Tester 27,492 posts 14,823 battles Report post #2 Posted December 4, 2020 Queue dump, I am going to guess that one of the CV's waited for over five minutes and when a tier matching CV hit the queue bang and it went with what it had.

Anyone care to guess which side won? Your sarc seems to make the answer obvious, but at the same time I’d match an Exeter versus a Nich and an Emerald easily enough. If you add in the floating citadel (Duca) to distract one or the other from long range, an Exeter should easily be a match for a Nich, or an Emerald. That’s just on its own. Sound like failures by the other ships is involved, especially of the carriers, if a single Nich (good as I think those are,) made so much of a difference.

Nobody else even tried. Our Ranger was useless, and the Weser spent most of the match [edited] about Santa crates. The match ended with the red team holding all three rings, winning on points while we barely had 100. I had much fun, was very engaged. 11 minutes ago, RonJamesDio said: I've seen similar dumps, its a challenge when it happens but not unwinnable.

I guarantee you that if I had been the DD, both enemy skycancers would have been all over me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bunch of recent Randoms I played were some serious ‘WTH people?!?’ I especially love when even I think I stank, yet somehow I wind up on top of the (losing) score tally? 18 minutes ago, CaptainKaitoGhost said: I kept telling them to in chat.

187 [_BDA_] michael_zahnle Members 429 posts 6,951 battles Report post #12 Posted December 5, 2020 I was in a random match with 4 ships on each side... 1 CV and 3 BBs. A straight up gun duel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
