Darlith Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Whew barely, or "I'm not dead yet." 3 star Aegis, down to just me and a BB by the time the transports are freed up. I think I had roughly 6k hp left by that point. Only one transport made it as I recall and I was on 600ish hp at the end. But it wasn't a loss. Was sweating bullets at the end there thinking for sure the transports would all be sunk. 1785 base exp for me, no team results because some were quite low and I don't feel like editing it right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostbow Posted September 12 Author Share Posted September 12 Will to Win on my first Petropavlovsk outing in updated Operations. Our Napoli rammed the Fletcher. The Maine got our Preussen. I got one of the two Annapolis of the last wave, but there remains another one and the Maine. A minute left. And I was all alone. I scored another Annapolis for Natural Selection. I had around 12K hp left when that Seattle started burning to toast cruiser, and I still had to contend with the Maine and her 406s. Fortunately I was saved by the bell. It was over before they could get my Petro. Another 5-star run. Good teamwork. 560,339 damage. 29 citadel hits. 7 kills. And my 8th Will to Win achievement. 2,143 Base XP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have seen, the bots will focus on either the least healthy ship (cruisers in particular) within range or the nearest target they can find. But the Salem has a superb repair party, and with a full lighthouse build your main battery guns will rip those upgraded bots apart fast. I use islands as armor as much as I can and anticipate where they will spawn. There's a lot of fun to be had in discovering nice little spots on the map and maximizing opportunities to slap these bitchin' bots quick. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xamdam Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Maybe just me, but I'm seeing a ton more toxicity in high tier Ops (mostly randoms mains that think they can pawn the bots, but blame everyone else when they get deleted) and... a return of the exploiters in low tiers. Has to be expected I guess... Le sigh. Got told yesterday my mother died too early to raise me properly. That's a new one... She's 88 and doing just fine, btw. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xamdam Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 We need fresh new Ops... That's all I can say. The novelty of being able to play higher tier ships has already worn off. Yeah, I can clear my daily xp for crates but I don't have much fun doing it with all the annoying vitriol. Lower tiers (7, being my pick) get endless KW right now for me and the same exploiter crap I saw on the SEA server. Spawn campers galore. Two posts... yep. Just wanted to spit out the "We need fresh new Ops" bit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xamdam Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 This should have been a "fun" game, but really it wasn't. Just playing Jinan like a torpedo DD netted this. Nothing special really, those deep water torps and the smoke work well but I still couldn't kill the Yamatos alone with all their HP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By exploits you mean the one guy going to clear the back waves of KW? I love to have one person that can manage that. Let's me focus on protecting the base.

I love to have one person that can manage that. Let's me focus on protecting the base. Depends on the ship and when. Some go up the outside avoiding the whole base fight and basically sit there until the base is clear, which can be annoying if the base clears slow. Sometimes a BB decides the best use of their skills is to go camp the north spawn point... However certain cruisers or DDs heading north early can make the whole thing go quicker so can be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The novelty of being able to play higher tier ships has already worn off. Yeah, I can clear my daily xp for crates but I don't have much fun doing it with all the annoying vitriol. Yes, we do. It is long overdue. However what WG has done instead was add an Operation tied to a specific historical event (D-Day) that is limited to a maximum of Tier VII, and favored premium ships such as Atlanta and WV'44. Perhaps the unstated objective really was to drive new players to purchase premium ships thereby increasing revenues. I think WG can introduce an unexpected variable in each Operation to break the monotony, and spice things up. What if that Little Trouble was an Ohio? Or a Schlieffen with Lutjens in command? What if the bots were a little bit smarter? That would give players pause. LOL! (And just like clockwork, those who cannot adapt will whine on whatever platform they can get their hands on! Double LOL!) 16 hours ago, xamdam said: Maybe just me, but I'm seeing a ton more toxicity in high tier Ops (mostly randoms mains that think they can pawn the bots, but blame everyone else when they get deleted) and... a return of the exploiters in low tiers. Hahahaha! There's nothing more amusing than seeing Random Battle mains that get deleted by bots and then proceed to blame everyone else! These usually are hyper competitive types that despise PVE players. I would love to type on the in-game chat, "What's the matter clown, can't handle bots?" LOL! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostbow Posted September 14 Author Share Posted September 14 My Ohio's first run in high tier Operations. I had a plan for her, and wished for Ultimate Frontier, and fortunately, my wish was granted, and I was able to execute that plan. 555,974 Damage for 2,004 Base XP. 2.8M Potential Damage. Overall good teamwork, with our Schultz racking up 8 kills and our Bungo single-handedly wiping out a full health or near full health battleship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostbow Posted September 15 Author Share Posted September 15 HHHHEEEELLLLLPPPPPP! C'mon guys why do you have to leave me alone to finish Ultimate Frontier! 🤣 My San Martin's first run in high tier Operations and it came down to this: 1 versus 6—three of them were superships. I have less than 50% HP and no more Repair Party left. A single well-aimed salvo from that Maine and it is all over. Aulë's beard! Got lucky once more. And another Will to Win! 😄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostbow Posted September 16 Author Share Posted September 16 Stalingrad in Aegis. AP only. With all the broadsides the heavy cruisers and battleships show, Aegis is the target practice Operation. 619K. 1767 BXP. 35 citadel hits. 3 sunk. Out of 360 AP shells fired, 210 made hits. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral_Karasu Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Sadly, for me, I haven't been able to adjust to the high tier operations. Every time I've tried, I've been shredded within the first two minutes or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostbow Posted September 21 Author Share Posted September 21 Harugumo's Dakka Dakka in Raptor Rescue. 1135 hits. 6 kills. 1923 Base XP. Didn't rescue anything. Just wanted to blast some bots. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostbow Posted September 21 Author Share Posted September 21 On the other hand, this destroyer has been one of my seldom played ships, yet Khabarovsk is still delightful to play. 451963 Damage. 5 kills. And a lot of throttle juking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
