God Dammit.

I thought the new Cleveland was gonna be awesome, then it happened.

100% health, headed for A. At a very good angle away from the guy who shot. One bullet hits...

100% Detonation. Sunk. WTF? ONE fucking shell hit me.

I had double 100% Detonation Protection (upgrade and flag) on as well.

That's some Pensacola style bullshit right there.

I was hit somewhere in the right rear quarter.

On paper, this thing is bad ass. We'll have to see.

So I looked at what you have to do to get one of those Super-Captains.

LOL 1st, you can't have a job and 2nd, you have to play WoWs a minimum of 16 hours a day for approximately 3.6 years. Fuck me.....
 
How do you kill the most popular Cruiser in WoWs?

You move it from Tier 6 to Tier 8 with NO upgrades so it can be low-tiered in most games against a fleet where damn near every ship can overmatch it's armor.

God damn, what a frustrating experience the Cleveland has become.

And without IFHE you will shatter 80% of your rounds.

Once again, WG steps on lit's own dick trying to change something that didn't need to be changed.

Is it fun to play? Yes, as long as you accept the fact you aren't going to have a reliable, consistent impact on the game for your side and have no problem with dying mid game. Especially on big maps with little cover. Holyshit is that not fun in this ship.
 
Finally done ranked for this season, one more for the black! The level of shitterdome was insane , I somehow ranked out with a 48% win rate this season, def my lowest

I stopped around R8. I didn't have the time to actually rank out and it wasn't enjoyable for me. Great job though! lol.

I enjoy the Buffalo, haven't tried the Cleveland yet. I see a lot of them sailing around broadside at 10km...

It has shit for HP and is overmatched by every single ship it goes against. Yes, it has powerful guns, can rack up serious damage, and is fun to play. But it can’t survive in heavy battle. You can’t even angle and kite away because the armor is so weak relative to the tears it battles in.

Sorry, but I gotta disagree on this one.

Nothing apart from the hipper has good armor at t8, the chappy is worse with even less armor

Anyway, I've only played a single game in it, but I was impressed with that one game :) the only regret I have is that it can't mount the radar mod @ T8, I guess we'll see how the T9 plays!

Also The buffalo is a fun ship, so far I'm digging it :)

That new T9 Russian cruiser has some nasty AP, dispersion leaves a lot to be desired, but god damn it pens nicely, doing 12-13k salavos at range to BBs
 
Goddamn this game is in the shitter. Worst match quality I've seen to this point.

Time to abandon ship, methinks.

I stopped back in January and haven't played since. Its a hard game to stop, but everytime I think about playing it, I just look at my paypal statements and accept that with this game, I have zero self control.
Its nice to go back and dig into 2 years of humble bundle monthly backlogs.

For me, no other game is filling the void :(
 
I’ve cut back playing to about 1 game/ day. With my new job I am just too busy.

I don’t spend a penny on it though.

Yamato/Alabama are fun ships to lazily sail around in. I do feel like they nerfed the hell out of AP. It still bugs me.
 
I also play way less than before. The weekends of playing 40 games are over, now I'm playing like 60-70 a month and probably less going forward. I think I've only spent money 1 time on this game this year, a month or so ago to get that crazy doubloon bonus on ships I already had (something like 20k dubs for like 20 bucks). 75% of games are roll or be rolled, there just aren't many closely contested matches anymore. Sure it's fun to win, but when you kill every ship and still have like 10 alive on your team, it's kinda boring. Clan battles are about the only interesting matchup.

I have to agree with viper (bananax) on the “cleavage” since I played it last night. Tits are great right?

My only qualm is to use spotter plane or not. My first few battles my range was 14.x km and I was in T10s so I was happy I took it lol. Given it can be uptiered and I play solo I think I might leave the spotter on.
 
I didn't say it wasn't a great ship. It is. I just think it is outclassed for it's configuration/armament and what it can go up against. 25mm stem to stern just don't cut it. Being citadelled even at sharp angles SUCKS!

I'm finding it hard to spend money on it as well these days. I would be embarrassed to tally up what I have invested in it, so I don't :)

The last two Premium ships I've bought have been very disappointing. I knew what I was getting into when I bought the Asashio, so I can't blame anyone but myself, but shit. It is such a one-trick pony that it just isn't fun to play at all. Sure, one or twice every now and then to terrorize Battleships, but it wears off fast. Since objective collection and spotting is what I like to do most in DD's, I just can't play it much because it is so bad at anything but long-range BB sniping.

Cutting speed and turning hard has saved me the majority of the time. Last night a Republic double citted my side... I don’t even know how they made it to my citadel because they hit the side of my ship at a 10 degree angle (really angled..) if he had good dispersion he would have completely missed. But my luck 2/2 shells were cits. 30.6k hp down to 11k haha. I still managed to live to the end and kill a full health gearing. Yeah T10 can be rough, and why I’ll probably keep the spotter. I can kite at 16km and rarely get hit doing speed games. If you have a high angle and are facing away just keep switching between forward and reverse.

Anywho - it seems like gearing players are absolutely terrible lately and I’ve been having IJN dds drop smoke for me lol. It’s all backwards.

That will happen in tier 10 usn cruiser s too
 
Creveland, it's hard not to use the spotter since you're in T10s so often.

Man, I'm having a hell of a time in the Hindy...

It's not the ship. I LOVE the ship. It handles well, and the guns are awesome.

The problem? It's a god damn focus magnet. Getting detected even for a second seems to be a beacon for everyone to focus you. Hell, sometimes I think the green team joins in LOL

I kid you not, yesterday I played in 2 games where I fired, and my focus counter went to NINE !

I seem to spend more time kiting and running away than I do firing.

Is this ship such a bad ass that it's an auto-focus for destruction?
 
Radar has COMPLETELY ruined this fucking game. God Dammit

That is all.
 
This weekend is cancer. This is what it took to win a game so far today.

Just for fun and for something different, I've created another account and I'm going to play it from the beginning with one difference. I will spend NO MONEY on it. None. Zero. Nada.

If I have to drive the Boogerville for 6 months I don't care :)

It obviously won't replace my main account that I have I'm sure a few grand invested in at this point. It's just something different.

So, You'll see me as my old Steel_Castles and, if you're doing some seal clubbing, Chief_STGC_SW :)

What is "Potential Damage" ?
Click to expand...

Potential Damage is the sum of the max damage (eg, citadel) every shell and torpedo fired at you, hit or not, so if a Montana fires a full salvo at you, your potential damage would go up 162,000.

IMO potential damage should have more points awarded when playing DD or cruiser. As should scouting in general.
 
TechLarry said:
Do you make credits on potential damage?
Click to expand...

You basically don't earn anything for any teamplay in the detailed report. Potential damage, spotting damage, torpedoes spotted, etc etc all mean nothing in regards to earnings. If it isn't damage, shooting down planes, capping or cap defense you're not getting much of anything.
