Wrath_of_Deadguy Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 More adventures with WG's wacky scoring... somehow this Fletcher game (cap, 1xT11+1xT9 ships solo killed, plus 2 more T11s severely damaged): ...is worth only ~40% more BXP than this Fletcher game (no cap, one T9 ship solo killed and one T10 I got 1/2 of the damage on): Sometimes it feels like every tick of damage past a certain undefined point is subject to diminishing returns. It also kinda feels like the game isn't giving bonus XP for damaging uptier ships, anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdmiralThunder Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 (edited) So in my 7+ years and 44K games this is a 1st. An all bot game on Ocean Map. Double dipped as it was all SuperShips as well. Just for a moment I was sweating when I saw that as my 1st thought was this could go wrong real fast if my bots die off leaving me vs a bunch with no cover. Even with how bad the bots shoot now that is a legit concern on Ocean. But I just went to a flank cap and most of the bots went to B and pounded each other while I had juicy broadsides. Game was too easy really LOL. I want MORE of all bot games on Ocean even if I lose. Just imagine the fun if you end up alone vs 3-5+ and especially if they have a CV to keep you spotted. One can only dream. Edited April 30 by AdmiralThunder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrath_of_Deadguy Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I want more Ocean, period. I don't think I get that map more than once a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Efros Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Yamato in a quest for citadels. Vermont gave me some! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmiralThunder Posted May 2 Author Share Posted May 2 (edited) Decent Stalingrad game. When it was first announced I remember the furor on NA forums over it being the 1st Steel ship and how so many would not be able to get it because they didn't play the game modes that gave Steel. I was one such player. Not because I wanted the ship I just didn't like the precedent WG was setting by gating ships behind special mode resources. Bad idea then and still is now in a game about ship to gate some of the ships. Then we were able to get Steel through other means and for years I had a chance to get it and passed because I just didn't have any interest in a better Moskva. Always saved my Steel for other ships I wanted more. Then like a year or so ago I had a boat load of Steel and no ships I wanted to buy. I grabbed Stalingrad for a flake event. It has proven to be decent for Co-op. The guns slap and are accurate. NEVER show the side but otherwise it is quite tough. It has become a go to for Citadels and Potential Damage (with the high detection range you get spotted first and focused and then you just put it in R and bow tank). In the end I am glad I got it but also glad I waited for it to be the last available ship of any interest. Oh, and where was a game like this yesterday when I was doing the damn 120 plane kills for Cruisers??? Edited May 2 by AdmiralThunder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt_Kremenski Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I've ummed and ahhhed about getting Napoli for years. I finally decided to pull the trigger and I gotta say I LOVE this ship!! The secondaries are just plain outrageous - that Regolo was wrecked by secondaries while I was fighting the Moskva. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Efros Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Incomparable, 6 kills, 244k damage, 6 defends, 1 assist cap, 44 planes.. and a partridge in a pear tree and still no 1000 BXP. I swear WG has diddled the books. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrath_of_Deadguy Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Re-grind, end of the line: USS Des Moines. It's good to have her in my port again... especially now that she's got Extra Spicy engines. Feels like a DD popping boost with Prop Mod stacked with the UU. Wish I'd grabbed it years ago- now it really feels like DM and Salem occupy different niches in my lineup, instead of just having different consumables; I expect I'll use DM a bit more now than I used to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, with the Unique Upgrade, it certainly feels more pronounced the different niche the Des Moines, and the Salem, occupy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Efros Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 First game of a new week, Yamato knocking the reds on the head. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Efros Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Another day another Yammy game with reds just a crying. This was the only game out of 6 this morning that didn't have lag or server issues, every other game had major lag spikes and I was kicked from two games. Then to compound my misery a Defeat caused by my co-player in a duet game not leaving the battle when he was dead such that when I died and we were ahead on points the victory didn't happen when I returned to port 'cos that smeghead was sitting watching the reds win the game. I quit for the morning after that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Efros Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Living in the State of Maine I had no choice so here's the first battle. Getting BBs broadside yield good results , also with cruisers. Enjoyable to play, will probably be using her in the early hours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrath_of_Deadguy Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Salem doing Salem things, in a cap stuffed with supers: The problem with T11s is that they have such stupidly large HP pools that each hit on them is worth less than it would be on anything else (since XP is awarded based on % damage dealt to a target, not the quantity of damage dealt). Spending a whole bloody minute chewing through a super-BB with your "mere" T10 cruiser doesn't feel nearly as rewarding as it ought to, and soloing a cap full of the things feels like a tedious, grindy chore, instead of a tense brawl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind SS's = T11 so a higher tier ship. You get more rewards for damage to higher tier ships than your ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrath_of_Deadguy Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 USN CL re-grind highlights: Phoenix and Omaha. I used to hate Phoenix- but I think that was because the first time I ground her, it was in Randoms... and my first matches in her were with her pathetic 3-gun broadside, 10s reload stock 'fit. Fully upgraded, she's actually rather good. And Omaha... alas, poor bots. Meet your worst mid-tier nightmare. Are they made of explodium? Certainly. But that explodium can be directed at Skynet, too, if used well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
