144 Sandman1969 Beta Testers 2,089 posts 2,379 battles Report post #1 Posted October 5, 2015 I was in a match with my Cleveland the other day when I spotted 2 of these "new" German cruisers on the other team being tested by WG staff or media. No clue. I killed both as they were pretty easy to kill. They need a bit of a buff already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps to let the players see them, but not trying to be a direct influence on the battle outcome. Phly_Daily wasn't one of them, heh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
937 [WOLFB] Lonewolfpj Members 3,212 posts Report post #5 Posted October 5, 2015 I would guess the testers have other item they look at like how the ship moves and so forth. I was on the team with one and he was just doing circles and weird movements 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He came at my Tirpitz and shot at me a bit than ran. I think I got one shell to hit him, but he smoked and vanished.

So the reason they where easy to kill is because they probably never played the game before. If I remember correctly supertesters also have accounts like those for testing. As for the yoloing maybe they were asked to test the surviablitly of the ships Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

366 [KNTAI] Ms_Makawee Beta Testers 1,293 posts 12,478 battles Report post #17 Posted October 5, 2015 Any impressions of the little ship? From what little I could see, it had a slightly higher speed than the Erie and a bit better dispersion with what I believe was slightly higher gun speed, but from what I could tell its armor was a little bit less thorough. A bit hard to judge in a single tier 1 match, but that was my first impression based off the little bit I saw. The ship did at least spawn near me so I could see it for a little bit.

635 [CHASE] NeonPeanuts Beta Testers 1,810 posts 6,064 battles Report post #18 Posted October 5, 2015 No, these are supertesters. Just because they are testers doesn't make them good. They just type better (sometimes) and/or got lucky to be accepted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
179 Granitebeard Alpha Tester 1,635 posts 9,525 battles Report post #19 Posted October 5, 2015 Well every time I saw one, they were typically the first sunk. Save for the one where the guy on my team was a live at the end. And I would think that a tier 6 cleveland could take the karlsruhes no problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was his actual number) absolutely beast mode in his tier 6 soviet DD. Showed everyone up. It goes both ways. Edited October 5, 2015 by Skramjet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's like these guys just started playing the game... The best test drive match I've ever seen was one with a Yamato, got 2 or 3 kills and I'd estimate he did around 75k damage.
