Motivational Monday (Keeping up with change)

:RDS: Motivation Monday :RDS:

Hi Captains,

Keeping up with change in our lives and well for some of you that noticed I was away a little, yea got a new job and had to settle in, now I am back in all aspects.

But when change comes to this glorious game we all play, the changes are constant, meta's are evolving after almost every update now a days. For once I am exited with all the changes and so much more to come with new ship lines, buff and nerfs to many ships, like the Buffguard (great now btw).

But keeping up with how the match plays out I have noticed a lot of people having trouble with and seen flanks or even the mid caps failing completely. I understand that being in a DD and having two Bismarck's rushing you that you will have to get of the cap or try to def strike them (not gonna happen very easily lets be honest). So you have to leave the cap. That is why awareness is key in this game, you have to predict what their movement is going to be and re-position to get into a more favorable position to take them on. Yes even giving up the cap in some occasions. But you have to bounce back if they are pushing this hard, in some cases and you will know this you see the DD yolo rush them and get destroyed while their torps only get one hit or two (not killing them). Yolo is fun and all in the right ship but overall its not a good idea if you cant take the hit without dying. Calculate your engagements and know the potential for getting erased of the map before making such a move.

So in final make sure you keep your awareness 100% while playing not to get caught out with your broadside facing a ship that might be looking your way or dumping all your torps and dying without winning the engagement. Before rushing a BB wait for him to shoot then rush and 90% of the time you will get shot with AP and not HE.

Meanwhile, keep it up guys you got this and never back down or give up. And dont run to the map border if your the last one alive just rush them and take a hero's way out. ;-)

I appreciate what you said about ceding the cap so as not to unnecessarily sacrifice yourself if you're in a ship that won't survive one or two salvos. It's not too common but sometimes you need to disengage to sta alive longer for the fight in the end game.

You know what would help, is if people used a headset and mic!! Communication is key people!!

Why? So some random idiot can yell orders at people?

Game is annoying enough without Johnson T Bellend yelling obscenities at folk who aren't playing the exact way they want.

True, surely most of is arent like this? Plus I wouldn't mind being able to respond and tell said idiot why he's an idiot 😁

So I guess they don't shadow buff/nerf but the Champagne has been very good to me lately. The thing is super accurate and is turning into a deletion factory. I got 2-4 citi salvos this weekend and I only used her a handful of rounds.

I guess its like we all have bad games and good games complete 9-0 wins and bad games with a 0-9 loss. Bad placement from your self and from other frustrating also frustrating if nobody plays the role you need to do. For example a dd not pushing in because of radar cruisers i totaly get it when a dd doesnt go and spot! I want to say some good things about the game now.

I think the game is pretty well balanced atm. Maps look great! Port filters i think are great especialy for the bureau stuff and personal missions.

The only thing i have a problem with is the following..... Where is my Dutch destroyer wg 😉😅 you know wich one i am talking about 🙈🥺

Also we got a great community here with a lot of realy experienced guys like turtleman17, molotov, alektrev etc i am sure i left some guys out these were the first that game up!

I forgot all about the podcasts that you and papa do keep up the good work.

Had to get this of my chest!

Keep charging!

I just use a bit of everything, though promotion orders are a relentless bore that prevent me going into other lines.

I like to push, due to my patience snapping with overtly passive play I've gotten a lot more aggressive. Even to the point where I'll charge smoke clouds in BBs/Cruisers if I know their torps are on reload, even rammed a Yudachi once.

You get a feel for where people will be after a while, especially if you play a bit of everything. DDs are the most predictable I find, just getting them to pop up is the trouble.

Game balance itself is mostly fine aside from sky rats, though you may point and laugh at anybody trying to Shokaku.......

Most of my best games have been valiant last stands.
