I saw the first salvo in question and thought: "yeah, I mean, its rng, there are good and bad numbers..." but after the fourth I totally agree... and the end was just icing on the cake of turd. So happy to just watch WoWs... that definitely keeps me from installing and playing it whenever I get weak and crave a bit of ship action. So, thanks for your service Flambass!

Ah yes, carriers, the class that's so protected by weegee that you're not allowed to do any significant damage to once you've got them under your guns

Makes it feel totally worth the hundreds of hours of grinding and suffering, just to get detonated by someone who doesn't even need to position properly, or even risk being hit first half of the game.

You fired at a carrier, WHAT DID YOU EXPECT ? WG never allows this to happen

that when WG says don´t touch my CV's

Ah yes. When you have 300 hits with HE on enemy DDs, BBs, and cruisers and have had zero fires but the enemy carrier strafes you 2 times for double fires each time. RNG decides who wins. Lots of times it doesn't matter what you do. Uninstalled.

Don't forget, you could be a shima. .and RNG will dictate how much HP your torpedos have. So a single salvo from a desmoines HE shot, could destroy ALL your torpedos in a single salvo and leave you completely out of the game.. all by pure RNG values.

That, AND DD's win games :) Vision is OP. They have by far the most impact and everyone knows and targets them.

Except for the end, everything else looked normal to me. The Omaha was the odd lucky hit, no skill involved there. It's become a very much noticeable thing over the past years. You can not punish broadsides like you used to. I refuse to blame my own aiming skills for that. If anything, they should improve over time. But no matter what I aim at, broadsides do not matter anymore. Gunnery is beyond broken, the current state is way beyond "just bad rng mate". A whole lot of bugs are known for *years* with WG unwilling and unable to fix them, and who knows what else is broken that we didn't find yet.

Yesterday i detonated too. But the other player was so kind to write "deto flag nooob!" in chat... I love the community of WoWs. They are so funny.

If I remember correctly, Ranger's armor is basically paper, so if you switched to HE, you probably could have gotten citadels with that.

I had to watch it twice, because I could not believe it. Oh the silence.

I have found that it is much easier to citadel the Ranger with H.E. The A.P. just overpens

@phillewis1749

6 ай бұрын

Mhmm, the Ranger is armoured with paper, from memory I am pretty sure DDs can HE citadel it, so firing large calibre armour piercing and expecting citadels is a bit daft; the detonation had me keeled over in with laughter though 🤣

"well the serial number on this 100$ bill is interesting"- Wargaming inspecting the games problems probably

Muhahahaha 😂 WG: "Don't touch the cv!"

Someone should've added the Clapping meme at the end... that was really a moment of *Bruh*

Nagato was 25m longer than Colorado class. 7m longer than the not built South Dakota class. NC, Iowa and Montana were longer. The British Tiger class was about the same and the Nelson a smidge longer.

After the CV rework I noticed I was getting focused by the CVs early in a lot of games. One game about two years ago with two CVs on red and 4 min into the game watched them fly planes over other ships and target me until I was dead. I ask in chat what the hell I did to them to deserve getting focused. One of the enemy CV captains said back in chat you had the best win record on the team so we wanted to delete you first. Set my stats to hidden after that game and it reduced me getting focused early 90% by CVs

I've played the Nagato since CBT. One of my favorite BB's. Have over 800 games in her, and pushing my nose through torps is something I do regularly since low tier CV players tend to drop nose on. I've been torp detonated 'once' maybe 5 years ago. This is totally fishy. Also, over pens continually to statistically rise in my games. Meanwhile, that poor Omaha got deleted easily, so lets not dismiss how much fun that guy had, and yet if he had been in an Atago those shells would have all been over pens or ricochets.

It's games like this why I would never play WOWS again :( Flambass you've got the patience of a saint ;)

Sometimes, reality is stranger than fiction.

John Wick’s dog was on the Omaha and he decided to be in that torpedo

It was at this moment, Flambass un-installed Warships, and played Pal World. XD

Carriers where definitely the largest threat in sea battles. However they where also the most vulnerable. One shell was enough to disable a CV for quite a while with all the ordnance and fuel out in the open.

Family content :D You work so extremely hard to stay like that :D

when silence speaks louder than a thousand words

Well war gaming, makes me want to start a different game. P.s. Nice self control Flambass

hey that torp legitimately hit his very fragile and explosive anchor chain locker in the nose

You should have seen G4ngberang's Tiwtch yesterday: He was in a radar mino trying to kill and Essex - which had saved ALL SIX smokes for itself and used them to run away hidden while torping him - and a sub - which eventually shotgunned him. One of the strongest cruisers in the game and he could do NOTHING.

Because of your reactions, you are my fav WOWS KZreadr! I feel your pain LOL.

Dude, you know you can't pick on the protected class! Now, what did we learn Flambass? No shooting CVs, no badmouthing CVs, and let the CVs do whatever they want.

Now that's bullshit right there.

A DS from the front with one torp. Impossible.

fun and engaging

Oklahoma... bot macro right there. means the other half of that "Player" has eyes in your minimap... That'd be the multiboxers interface. Load the disk in the DVD-rom, launch the client on two virtual machines, queue up the throw away boat to team B, the boat you're grinding to team A. (Like a training room fight) and then queue up for battle. Up to you if you want to run the AI macro or not, but it comes on the disk along with the "patch"... Legit the only reason WG needs to spin up your DVD/CD drive at game launch, considering everything's gonna be on your hard drive unless your running a patch disk... Oh, as for me calling out the Oklahoma as the macro... yeah... 5:55 Oklahoma gets spotted, takes the Oklahoma 35 seconds to register movement (Spinning up from full stop to full ahead), magically it comes to life and is moving by 6:29. It won't fire until it is within about 15 degrees of broadside, and then it will miss leading on the target by a boat length... AI macro's "triggers" being met...

the detonation was unexpected.

At least you didn't get a 'Well Done!' from some annoying player when it detonated. 😅

I've noticed BB detonations on the rise. I've been detonated in my Massa, Alabama, Monty, and Brandenburg this past week. Massa, Bama, and Brandenburg were all from a single aerial torpedo hit from a CV. I think Monty was from a sub torp. Bama took the toep to the rudder from dead astern and immediately detonated. I've noticed other BBs lol-sploding lately too. And I've always thought there are hidden modifiers for certain ships they won't admit too. CVs, Russian BBs and super cruisers. I mean they say the russian bbs have squishy sides and yet I get the same effect as Flam did here. Overpens, shatters, torp pro hits.

It's an online only game - they can do whatever the frick changes they want, without doing any announcments. They do it with visible stats, undo previous submarine and CV nerfs, implement AA nerfs unnanounced too. So they're 100% doing changes to the invisible stats all the time, just to troll their playerbase.

Dude, my bro, you are popular. Everyone wants to take a piece of Flambass.

9:21 "tell me carriers don't get special treatment" They do, but so do IJN battleships. Specifically Fuso, Nagato and Amagi. One salvo will be okay, the next will double HE citadel a DD at 21km, the next will bracket a Kurfurst. RNG will say "Hit with half, critical strike, miss the continent, hit with half, hit with half..." If that critical strike is a dev strike, count on the rest of the match landing only 1 damage causing shell per salvo, unless you're one of 2 remaining against 6 or more.

Cvs are so broken. They've got infinite planes. Your AA does jack shit and this video just sums it up. Whenever I see a CV in the match I'm playing, I know it'll be disappointing. They definitely have a different kind of rng than the rest

@robertcras8151

6 ай бұрын

They hit the planes that are not diving for you, but the 3 incoming planes, well your AA crew just decided not to shoot them, they are the least dangerous *cough cough*. Thats how the CV gets a guaranteed strike. In WWII, torpedo bombers were sitting ducks. And the new meta is even amazing, pilots and AA crews go temporarily blind (not spotting but then you also can't shoot them). And if you get focused by a CV, even though you lose AA turrets, your AA will get stronger. More magic added to the game, as if the Harry potted torpedoes are not enough magic for 1 game.

WG gave him a mercy kill deleting a dd before he was taken out. How civil of them.

Well that has to go in a Speshul video! Where you running without a detonation flag, kind of looked like it.

I stopped playing when "never weres with 1960's guns in unlikely gun mounts were put up against 1930's designed ships. Good luck to you!

You should have had a detonation flag and just dodged the torps.... But SERIOUSLY - I've made a few comments about you complaining on some videos, however you showed remarkable restraint here! I feel your pain. That was just ridiculous, and so dumb that even the most ardent WG fanboy should be able to see how unfair that is.

No reason for you to complain really, Flammy . . . I mean you've done the same when in a CV, lol . . . I've also been singled out and focused on many times when in a BB by 1-2 CV's and other ships in games. Could be the bad AA on a lone ship - or I sank them and a few more the game or so previously and they remembered me? But, as you are a lot more well known than I am at pulling games out of the hat at the end - He knew who you were, or was told by someone in his team to try and get rid of you early on . . . Remember though, it's only a bunch of free pixels - so nothing at all to worry about . . .

and wargaming wonder why they are loosing players. flambass thanks for reminding me why l dont play wows anymore

Take it as a compliment to your Fame. They know if they target you...and the match is at least semi-good...he might be in a Jingle's video also. And if they can sink you....even better in their minds.

Both subs and carriers are incredibly difficult to counter, and with torpedo focus, your repair party is going to get overwhelmed so fast. Making ship types you can’t counter effectively is just peak game balance, I’ll tell ya…

thx for your content.

My god Flambass, I love your content I truely do… but there was a very simple solution to this situation, I would not be caught dead without a detonation signal on, I put them on EVERY ship I play to save me the humiliation of exiting the game early… also poking the bear didn’t help the situation either 🤣

now Nuclear tipped torps are in the game? wowsa, that's a paddlin'
