Keep in mind, everyone says never go up the middle of Two Brothers..... Let the Battle of the Gap begin... (And thanks guys, it was a great laugh last night!) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We quickly met the whole enemy team and my escorts went all "RETREAT!!" I had no choice to turn tail and run as well. The gap actually gave me some cover from the hundreds of shells coming at me. It paid off because I was able to help cap with a friendly DD. Edited October 8, 2015 by JojoTheMongol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
433 StooperDave Alpha Tester 1,997 posts 2,336 battles Report post #14 Posted October 8, 2015 I lead 2 other BBs through the gap once after routing the east flank. West was getting there rear handed to them and would have been dead if we went all the way around the long way, so up the gap we went, popped out behind the enemy fleet, and proceeded to obliterate 2 BBs and 2 cruisers before they even got their guns aimed at us. It was spectacular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It pays off when the team you are doing it to is full players like on this guys team.. I never seen so much incompetence LoL. And that's bad since I am not even good.

63 Lord_Arcadian Beta Testers 257 posts 1,575 battles Report post #16 Posted October 8, 2015 Seen plenty of battles play out like this and also been on the giving end of it as well. This was posted back when people thought you couldn't pull this kind of thing off. The gap was always a "fail". Which it wasn't ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
