Well, they start out at like 8km default. It's even funnier on the DM, because they're 7.7km stock now. Sometimes when you radar destroyers in DM, your secondaries open up on them too. It's just a darn shame that cruisers can't take any captain skills related to secondaries anymore. Just the module and the flag. Would have been fun otherwise given the new increased secondary ranges. Edited February 8, 2021 by GhostSwordsman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He proceeded to hide for 5 mins, then YOLO rush for a quick sink. Self-fulfilling prophecy. I have seen the same many times from bottom tier players, claiming being bottom tier means the game is pointless. Far from it. Play smart, and your bottom tier ship can easily lead your team (as seen above). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had a battle on Sleeping Giant less than an hour ago ... at the beginning of the battle, a Flint (bottom tier) across the map announced "Sorry, I've got to do this." ... and proceeded to shoot a friendly Skane ... until he turned pink and redirected damage sank him. Several of us asked what he was trying to prove or do ... but no response. Some misguided "complaint" against MM? Expression of rage about what happened to his Flint? ... we'll never know.

Be careful when you play head games. IF I could, I'd ban that player for a month for TKing. No excuse for TKing a friendly because he was down tiered, especially in a Flint (nerf or not). The right thing to do, is to just go AFK or not play the ship. Hitting a friendly is just a major no no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is the mindset I'm talking about. Defeated before the game even begins. Other players don't mind playing when bottom tier. I don't know how good you are, but for the majority of players, you have just as much of a chance to win when bottom tier as you do when top tier...because you have a team around you. If you make the conscious or subconscious decision that you are going to lose because you are bottom tier, all you have done is to ensure your effort is toward losing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fact it is in game means they want us to do it. to op, its fun from time to time and especially when you come out on top. Of course the handful of atagos i’ve dev struck at the beginning of a match in a thunderer or any other tier 10 bb might have a different perspective. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the "new meta" Heavy HE and SAP Shells & Top Grade Gunner minimum concealment combo is uh "bold and interesting" but honestly I am a tad unconvinced it's actually the best way to play most cruisers. Chonksters or Ninjas alike. Edited February 8, 2021 by SoothingWhaleSongEU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you get dev struck at the beginning by a 20km + salvo, there's only one reason... You didn't dodge. And this is my personal opinion but I feel I'm taking a lot less long range "scatter" damage, by being more compact the salvos are easier to dodge completely. Thunderer's in particular are very compact, few stray shells, the guy in that match missed me completely 4 times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People shoot people for all kinds of reasons from purely accidental to criticizing ship choice. the simple answer is of course : BECAUSE THEY CAN. until wg removes this nonsensical feature tk will continue to exist.
