Finally! My first Kraken Unleashed, Top Gun.

[KfirGuy]

Alright,

 

So I had made a post, which I later deleted because I was told that post-match results were not allowed to be posted... However it now seems that perhaps that may not entirely be the case. In the interest of not orphaning this post with no text, I have edited the images that had been posted to remove any names. The original post went somewhat along these lines...

 

Hey guys!

 

I have been getting back into Warships after over a year a way (I dabbled a little during the Closed Beta, but life had gotten busy with graduating college, starting work, etc). I have been having a lot of fun getting back into the game, and having primarily been a CL/BB guy when I had played previously, had been looking forward to trying destroyers. I unlocked the Isokaze earlier today, and decided to take it out for another spin with the new upgraded torpedoes when I wound up with this match. Not being the best of players, I always imagined that a Kraken Unleashed would be something that would long elude me (I didn't hit Radley Walter's in WOT until after 12k battles...) so I was shocked to score 5 kills on my maiden voyage with the new torps. I've really appreciated all the helpful tips and advice that people have been giving me in games on how I can improve my gameplay, the community here has been really awesome compared to how WOT can be at times

 

And now, the results

 

 

 

Torpedoes are fun

Well done. It's not every day that the situation presents itself, but it takes some skill and sharp anticipation to take full advantage even when the match is ripe for destroyer carry.

 

Also: in before someone misinterprets name & shame to mean that you're not allowed to post battle results regardless of context...

Why do you want to delete it? Just edit the photos for the name with Paint. Very easy. Congrats on your Kraken!

What? You don't even need to censor the images. There's no rules being broken by posting a picture of results, unless you're doing so to call out someone for being bad. Our usernames are not private, and we've all been sunk at least once. The simple act of being sunk does not in itself confer shame.

It may not be against the rules but I personally always censor the names. Some people don't like being on a brag image. Personally idc if I am on one, the game was played. I only assumed that is why he asked for deletion. I was looking at the images and when I refreshed for replies they were gone.

What you choose to do is fine, but there's a culture of bullying people into over-censoring on this forum, all in the name of a "rule" which is only de facto.

I always like to check if I was in that game, not that I care.

Hey guys... sort of a poor showing on my part as one of my first posts on the forum...

I was concerned by the 1st reply to my OP that perhaps I had violated a rule, and wanted to avoid any moderator issues, so I did delete the images and post. I have restored the essence of what I had posted before, edited the names from the two images, and ultimately didn't include the full team results as I didn't want anyone to interpret it as me trying to put down the rest of my team, or other players. In all truth, I died shortly after my 5th kill, and the game would have been lost without the effort of the others, I was more excited about my result than I was trying to make a statement on anyone else's play.

 

Either way, I apologize for the confusion

That's my bad. I didn't mean to give you that impression.

I understand now what you were saying there, I guess I interpreted it as you knew that I wasn't naming and shaming, and wanted to comment before someone posted thinking I was, because posting results wasn't allowed. I understand now though.
