A Good Good Day

[OgreMkV]

Today was a great day for me. I got my first 5 kill game, then I got another one. 

The first was in a Minekaze

 

Yeah, I died, but I did the damages. And 8 achievements! That was an amazing game. I did some circles in the lower left corner of the Big Race and picked off a cruiser and a destroyer. Then I moved into the center of the map and got another cruiser and two battleships. 

 

Then this one. I bought the Cleveland this morning. I needed a tier 6 ship for the DD kill missions. The first two runs were terrible, then this one happened. 

 

I got a Nicholas, an Aoba, Konigsberg, Bogue, and a Storozhevoi... whatever that is. 

This was a fairly new for map for me. But I led a small group into a trap. It was me, another cruiser, and a BB against two BBs, two cruisers, and a destroyer. I got the destroyer and started a slugging match with one of the cruisers. I was semi-watching the minimap, when I killed the cruiser, I looked around and everyone else had either died or left. Some where in there I capped the base. 

I headed to the middle of the map and chased their carrier. The other cruiser came to defend the carrier, but he was severely hurt and three broadsides killed him. The carrier took another three or four. Then I turned and capped the middle base. I looked around and it was me (heavily damaged, an almost undamaged BB, and a severely damaged cruiser against one DD. I found out that it was a Tier 2 ship... the guys said something about a division match foul up. 
Anyway, I was too damaged to play, the BB came to cap the last base and kill the DD. But he out manuevered us and appeared behind the BB... just about point blank to my guns. Two broadsides toasted him. 

 

When this game is good. It's very good. And it's not because I won, but it was a lot of good tactical decisions and some real planning. 

Of course, when it's bad, you are bombed by five ships you can't even see and you're dead in the first 30 seconds of the battle.

Today has been great....

 

just did this.... I sat there looking at this screen for about 5 minutes blinking...

 

only thing I can say is stick and move... stick and move and of course a little bit of luck. I got two guys with one torp salvo, couple of DDs and my teammates were working with me on some of the other kills but... its sill fairly impressive.

and I thought that I did well with my 5 kill battle today with my Konigsberg.....without firing a single torpedo either.

Today I won a match with out doing any damage at all. Was one Land of Fire in my Hatsuharu. Enemy team divided up half went east half went west, left the middle of the map wide open. I was only spotted once but no one seemed to care about me so I just capped them and the game was over in 10 minutes. I even asked my team, who where doing well against the enemy if it was ok if I capped. They said it was fine, easiest do nothing win to date.
