Wait until you go to co-op & find that the 3 soft 4 hard cap on BBs has 3 of the 4 BBs on your side bots. Then the next battle breaks the 3 soft cap on DDs by having 4 DDs with 3 of them bots. Kinda defeats the point I think. Edited January 29, 2022 by IfYouSeeKhaos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

9,426 [GWG] BrushWolf [GWG] Alpha Tester 29,187 posts 15,766 battles Report post #9 Posted January 29, 2022 My experience is that this as a not very good DD player is it is more of a psychological issue than anything else and that CV's in the low tiers have a much larger impact on larger ships. When CV's are present DD's need to play different particularly in the early part of the match to avoid where the CV(s) will send their planes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

353 [HKC] Viva_Palestine Members 995 posts 25,849 battles Report post #15 Posted January 31, 2022 I thought it was BBs, as they cannot counter or evade. A tier 4 CV usually can't 't hit a DD for jack. Point was they may tend to discourage new players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose that "clubbing" is popular among people who have nothing better to do. Friday evenings, I was usually either on-shift with the EMS service or heading out to do some research, scuba diving, etc. over the weekend. I allowed myself to be dragged to bars a few times in college. I don't drink so I found them noisy, crowded, and tedious. It quickly became apparent to me that most of the people there were drunk, stoned, or in a self-induced hypnotic trance. In their addled minds they may have been having fun but to an outside observer their actions were ludicrous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While for the most part things are evenly matched now, fail divisions and queue dumps still can cause mismatches. I was in a match this morning where there were two DDs on one side and one on the other. Edited January 31, 2022 by Snargfargle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
9,132 [WPORT] Wolfswetpaws Members 20,719 posts 22,656 battles Report post #22 Posted January 31, 2022 Seal clubbing? Now see here, folks. Once someone graduates from "protected match-making", then they're "fair game". The Five Epochs of the Navy campaign is fun, by the way. I enjoyed it. I was sailing in some low-tier battles, yesterday, while partcipating in Naval Battles. I was playing various low-tier DD's in random battles and saw plenty of other DD's on the teams. I play CV's and then DD's. And my fellow Clan-Member, @FurphyForum sails his BB's and Cruisers. That way we're unlikely to sail the same type of ship at the same time and we get to sail ships we enjoy playing. Why sail low-tier ships? Because they're fun. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
