Anything in that 47-52% WR range is that skill ceiling I was talking about. Pushing up to 55%, much less into the 60s, is nigh impossible without expert help.

Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:It's also the ~Math Professor's Dilemma~ because a lot of those streamers are those Super Uni players and just inherently understand these things making them very poor teachers or even just explainers. Flamu did a brilliant video the other day [that I can't find on youtube  ] where he had been accused of cheating IG by someone, so broke down the entire game into steps where he explained exactly what he did and why he did it.It was exhausting to watch TBH, I'll stop at 52% for ever. TA DAH!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Shmojx4g9c4

While Clan War-ing, our 12,000 battle 55% WR Des Moines/CA main "discovered" that you can hold down the mouse button to keep firing/sequentially fire. The game is terrible at teaching people how to play it. A big thing I did a few years back on the advice of a clanmate super unicum was spent a month playing with a little 30 second repeating alarm/timer. Every time it went off, I looked at the minimap. Getting in to that habit alone will skyrocket your gameplay. If you're in the low/mid 50% WR brackets you're comfortably in the top 20% of people who play this game, so certainly dont feel bad about hovering there. For me, along with watching the minimap, just playing DD's more took my WR from the 50's to the mid 60's. They are the class that impacts game result more than any other imo, even CV's, and if you can reliably dumpster the enemy DD's and spot for your idiot teammates you'll swing far more games into your favour. Knowing what DD's are doing from playing them more will make you a better BB and CA/CL player too.

Shaman Tank Spec posted:Flamu was talking about this on a video a few days ago, but he was talking about the number one skill in the game being positioning. How you need to be able to position yourself in a way where you can do the most good, while getting the least amount of bad. And that doesn't mean "just hug the border and 'flank'" the enemy. link video pls

I read this and suddenly figured out why my win rate on my laptop is so much worse than on my desktop. When I am playing on my laptop my eyes are just bad enough that the minimap is a blurry mess that I have to “interpret.”

Back when I played I was around 57% with the expert strategy of getting hammered and shooting red boats. The few euro goons I occasionally played with(hi burt) can attest that I'm not some tactical genius. Game's easy. Been having a bit of an itch to get back into it lately. What's the CV situation these days? The rework and those loving things being in every game was what drove me away.

Anything is hard if you want to get really good at it, but 99% of the time the mistake in warships is running into five ships and dying. The game mechanics are complicated but most of it doesn't matter unless you're a weirdo trying to get #1 on leaderboards. When flamu used to make replay review videos you could watch them and every single person would play for ~10 minutes then run in and die. Not that warships advice is useless but if you reach the level that running in and dying isn't your biggest problem you're also better than most of the people giving advice (and better than all of the people the advice is intended for).

A friend of mine had played all the way to like tier 4 or 5 without knowing that you could zoom in. He also has a difficult time accepting that the community is just toxic at times. At least he isnt playing League of Legends or something.

I've been hovering between a 53 and 54 winrate for years of on and off playing, however recently I have set myself of a challenge of getting all my tier X ships to 50% or higher. I'm down to the Moskva and Wooster, and struggling pretty hard. Even when I have a decent game in the Moskva, I feel like my overall damage is kinda lacking and I'm not making a huge impact on the game. Is there something I should be doing specifically with this ship as opposed to other heavy cruisers?

This, to me, is ever so slightly hosed up. Apparently I have to get the tier IX and X permanent cammos, before I can unlock the tier X. Which is even more hosed up. Burt fucked around with this message at 17:35 on Jan 22, 2022 |

The standard of supership players, especially DDs, is amongst the worst I have ever seen so I am never worried to see them. I think perhaps 1 in 10 turns out to be "super" in any way. I genuinely wonder sometimes what kind of person is at the keyboard, how many functioning limbs they have left, can they keep their mouths closed etc.

Oh absolutely. But surprise surprise, even a tomato in a Hannover or Annapolis can absolutely DUMPSTER a FDG. I literally finished the game with over 5 million potential damage, and I died quite early.

I would say "kill the DDs" has been my biggest winrate expander, though I don't think I'm exactly a star with Moskva or Wooster. It was what let me get Dimitri Donskoi up to (roughly) 50% from the low 40s, though.

I try not to get too worked up over winrates. Im very close to reaching my goal of all tech tree T10s unlocked and man, some of those lines just have some absolute dogs of ships. Hard to maintain a high winrate AND be a completionist.

Im still a relative WOWs newbie but in Tanks there were quite a few vehicles that you really really needed your team to not poo poo the bed to get the best of. I don't know how many people would agree, but I think a DOT monster like a Worcester kind of needs team mates to both spot and tank damage to get the most out of that ship? The Flamu mogador video was a really good watch for me because I get fixated on targets in this game and end up thinking I'm in a good position but whoops the enemy rolled the other flank and now their battleships have my side.

Yeah took me ages to embrace island humping, I always thought it incredibly boring game play, and to an extent it is. What it also is though, is a means to stay alive for the first half of a game until you are clear to push and use up all those saved hit points to take some riskier moves. I think the most useful and basic tip that should be splashed up on load up is DON'T DIE EARLY.* *Does not mean sit back on border with a BB "sniping".

Sure but in normal battles the normal cap circles generally make most pubbies (all but the most braindead ones) go somewhere in the vicinity of where you'd want them to be. Because there's three caps, they will accidentally get occasional shots at enemies from good positions. For epicenter the cap circle is most of the map so they all head for the map border to "flank". And even that wouldn't be terrible if they actually pushed up the edges, but they just sit at the edge of the map level with our own cap and take pot shots at enemies 20 km away.

This is the typical T6 experience on EU servers. Feels like I might as well just ALT-F4 out and do something else. E: and sure enough I took about 80% of my HP in CV damage which I can't do gently caress about at T6. Meanwhile our CVs might as well have been AFK for all the good they did.

Some people complain about T10, but the overriding thing that saves it as a place to play above all is that you CANNOT get double cvs in a game like that. They're also just plain more rare.

The FDeG 406mm guns are also suprisingly good HE spammers - decent fire chance and relatively high RoF. But that depends on not taking IFHE.

God bless the clueless pubbie who sat broadside on 15km away from my Friedrich der Große in his Colbert and tried to very poorly throttle juke back and forth. He eat three cits and was dev struck in one volley. E: Also god bless the equally clueless pubbie who decided that parking his Hannover side on to half our team was a pro move. When I first saw him and fired at him he was at 100% HP. When my guns had reloaded 25 seconds later and I looked back he had 1000 HP and died. You need to have and play T10 ships to get superships, right? How the gently caress are these people so god drat clueless? Shaman Tank Spec fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Jan 25, 2022 |
