World of Warships

00:00:00

00:10:40 Let me actually see. I bet you guys don't have GameSound. Oh, from... Oh, that's right, we didn't look at that. So let me see if... That's... No, it's set up correctly. I meant to put that on my list of things to check today. We for gore. We for gore. Oh, well. Well, let us know if there is GameSound or not. I'm guessing it's no. It should be there. If there's not, then I'll just switch over. Maybe...

00:11:09 Oh my god, Audio is at zero. Haha! What is your set to real quick, if you could check? Yeah. Is it like 40 or so? It's almost max. 98. No, no, no, in game. At some point there was probably something where we had like Audio Bleed, so we just killed it. I'm at like 50. Set it to 40. Let me know if it works. Yeehaw. When Bogsy's not there, it all goes to hell. We figured it out. We figured it out.

00:11:34 But hello! Uh, got a hello from Tokyo, Japan. Ooh! You were in Japan recently. Did you go to Tokyo? I did. I was in Tokyo for a couple of weeks. What did you eat in Tokyo? Lots of different things. A lot of yakitori. Uh, some sushi. Other good stuff. Ramen. When my, um, when my sister, um, visited Japan for, I don't know, several months or whatever, she said she subsisted mostly off above.

00:12:03 Ja, das ist ein Open Water Radar Minotaur, ein Spooky.

00:12:21 You have game sound? Awesome. We did figure it out. We got it. Alright, well, there's a Barbie girl over there, a hull, and also something else in smoke, too. At least the minnow is bailing. Yep. He is being forced away, and the hull will be a little bit annoying to deal with, maybe.

Strategie und Schiffsmodifikationen

00:12:43

00:12:43 You're playing a unique upgrade gearing, right? I am. I'm playing a unique upgrade gearing because I knew you were playing the Bazan and the Bazan doesn't have the best stealth. 6-2 is not bad, but it's not comfy. It's definitely a little bit worse than most of the traditional destroyers like gearing and shimas and darings. And I thought, well, we're going to try to go with a theme today, chat. We're going to try to...

00:13:10 Make it happen. And what I mean by that is we're going to be aiming for either... We have a goal. ...e-badge efficiency, which is pretty tough. Top 1% possible, which is not small. Especially on stream, I feel like I tend to play a little bit worse. But you never know, maybe we'll make it happen. Or, and this is up to chat's discretion, we could also... There we go. We have a Bazan.

00:13:37 Actually, I had that wrong, because I thought... Oh, he fired. That's helpful. He's bursting, it seems like. I used his burst there. Yes, he did. Or we can do some ranked. And in either case, if we're doing a tryhard, then... Is he going to beach? He is actually stuck there. I think he can go around the island, but he's slowing down to try to keep it.

00:14:07 Unfortunately, I didn't eat a torp there because I can't hear the torps because we don't have...

00:14:12 What do you gain and lose with unique upgrade on the gearing? As far as I understand, you lose some torpedo and gun reload? Yeah, so the torps take 5% longer to reload. The guns take 15% longer to reload. So, I mean, notably there. But your sneakiness goes from, I think, 5.8 to 5.6. Which means that you get to be about as sneakery as a Shima. You don't have Shima torpedoes, so you're not nuclear. But you have some pretty good performance.

00:14:40 Stealthy enough, I guess. I don't think I'm going to catch any Columbo there. That's too bad. Gearing Torps are generally pretty good. They're quite stealthy and very fast, so even though they don't have the most damage, you can hit them pretty reliably. They also reload in a decent amount of time. So yeah, you're basically trading damage for stealthiness. Oh god. The Minnow is running right at me.

00:15:02 How high does base XP go in co-op? You got 993 last night. Ooh, that's pretty high. Yeah, there used to be a forum thread. I got one byte on the Columbo. Used to be a forum thread, which was like for people that had games over a thousand in co-op. It does happen. I've seen probably as high as 11 or 1200, but usually that's going to happen where you're maybe the only player on the team. Everything else is bots, and you just end up ripping everything to shreds.

00:15:30 I am in a spot of trouble here. Hopefully the Minnow won't do too much damage for you now that I'm perfectly angled, but we'll see. There's a Resin Player, so that's not gonna help you too well.

00:15:45 I think I'll survive the radar and take quite a bit of damage, though. Yeah, I mean, being able to angle is super helpful. Yes, thankfully Minotaur does not have HE like it did in testing. That would be bad. We have an HE Minotaur now. That's the Brisbane, right? Yep. But it has a bit of a slower reload than Minotaur herself. Gearing is a good boat. Gearing is a nice...

00:16:13 Is a boat with some possibilities. It's always nice to have some possibilities. There we go. It's finally over. Oh, and the game ends. Oh, well, hell. I don't think we got E on this one. No, I don't think so. I had like 30k damage. Yeah. I think I spent half that game having the Minotaur just run at me. Well, I still got top 50, is that right? Yeah, so I got a third grade badge. Did you get anything? Nope. You didn't graduate.

00:16:40 I failed fast. I got 1k basic speed. I got a cap, I got a torp, and I got some target hits. Oh, and some spotted, I guess. Maybe that all added up. How did that come out? 14? Almost 1500? So we got a 3 so far. At least we got a number. And I am rocking the Transformers camo. Do you want to try again? Yeah, I would like to give that another try. Hopefully we can get a match where we don't just zero them out.

00:17:07 That team was comically bad. It happens, man. Wait a minute, you were on that team. You know, sometimes it just happens. To our next match here.

00:17:24 Channel mods really don't like any CV subcriticism. I think usually we're pretty happy to field it. Just be respectful. Oh, you were the minnow? Ouch. Yeah, the cool kids. I recognize the name. You cockblocked me pretty hard there. Did not have a very engaging match.

00:17:46 I was at least far enough away that not only could I line up, but I could do a little throttle jockeying, so it really didn't amount to very much. I should probably just play right behind you for most of the match. I think my mistake was splitting off. I should just stick behind you and shoot the stuff that you spot. I mean, that's kind of what you did. Yeah, except after the first engagement, I just walked over to the 9-ton line and just base-checked the minnow. Oh, we'll see. Maybe we can get a little bit of a better result this time.

Umgang mit Kritik und Teambesprechung

00:18:19

00:18:19 Yeah, as far as the criticism stuff, I can say that I've been, wow, almost three and a half years now. Three and a half years of doing the streams with Wargaming. Seen a good bit of criticism. It's pretty much... Been through the highs and the lows. Yeah, been through the highs and the lows. But in general, if you're going to say something, try to keep it friendly. We're not here to rip into people. That's not the goal of the game. That's not the goal of the channel.

00:18:48 Be nice. Alright, we have an Essex. There we go. Get a little piece there. Did you take defensive fire? No, I did not. I did not take defensive fire. But I do still like getting some priority sector hits in. Because you get to chunk them for 5% and when they're rocking out it can lead to half of the plane.

00:19:20 Let's see, they have a Hyattia Sherman, a Barbiano, and a 4501. Although I think the sub will be on the other side of the map. Should be mirroring our sub. There's the Barbiano. Might actually burst him here since I think he's going to... Dropping smoke. Oh, I actually got some full fence. Interesting. I am lit by the Destroyer in B.

00:19:47 Well, there is a smoke screen if you want to use it. Yep, I'm just reversing to your smoke here. Now Barbiano does not have torpedoes, so don't have to worry about that. Dark now. Six Fighter, not going to last too much longer. Napoli might be pushing. Yeah, Napoli's probably running it down, you might guess.

00:20:14 Gaisu cut off all his hair and replaced it with a mop. How did you know? I think he looks like Tom Cruise in The Last Samurai. He was affected by his Japan visit. I wish I looked like Tom Cruise. And he is now a samurai. As for me, Panama, bro, you gotta stop focusing on how people look. That's a recurring trend.

00:20:40 Would it be possible to publish what it takes for an E-rating for each ship, or is it too much work? Well, it's not actually something that we can publish. We did actually, I mean, we published what you would need. You need to be in the top 1% of our performances, but it actually varies. As people play, you have, you know, 10,000, 100,000, a million results or whatever, and it's the top 1% of the, I believe, the most recent.

00:21:07 x number of results. Yeah, it tracks a certain time period, right? So, like, you need to be in the top 1% of base XP earners for a certain time period. Yeah, so it could be that it's 2500 base XP, and then there's just a particularly long run of not doing very well, and it drops to 24 for a little while, but then people do really well in it, and it goes up to 26. Like, it could be whatever it is. It's just, there is some variable nature to it, though.

00:21:39 Ist es Napoli kommen hier? Ich bin nicht sicher. Ich denke, er will es. Ja, da ist er. Wir haben eine Fire auf den Montanen. Ich denke, er wird DCP sein, wenn er die Twerps ist.

00:21:56 Ich bin Spotted now, aber es ist nicht so viel zu tun, ich bin nicht so viel zufrieden. Ich glaube, ich könnte auf meine A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A

00:22:13 Ich meine, still, Priority Sector, es ist ein Percentage. Ja. Es ist ein vieles Effort zu pressen. Oh, ja. Es ist ein vieles Effort. Die Sache ist, ich habe es nicht auf einen Convenient Keybind. Ich denke, ich habe es auf einem Maus-Button. Ich sollte wahrscheinlich die Zeit zu re-Bind es hier, als auch. Dude, ich bin Maus. All über die Maus-Button. Ja. Es ist super easy. A Million Prozent Maus-Button. Es ist einfach so easy.

00:22:43 So, wenn der Knapp-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-Pleet-

00:23:09 just got smashed by the Essex bombs oh my goodness oh those aren't Essex bombs those are Utrecht airstrikes holy crap sitting in place yep my mistake be spacebar all over unfortunately the two fires are basically permanent not great actually broke everything on my ship

00:23:35 Ja, Napoli ist, uh, kann's stop, won't stop. I didn't expect that. Oh, load AP for him here. I mean, I could kind of tell that he was getting impatient, but I definitely didn't expect him to just YOLO. Yeah, I mean, he saw the Montana and just decided that he would, uh, join him, I guess. Okay, I might be able to finish him off the first here.

00:24:02 Silver Ray. I really do like the Ray Destruction effects. Quite nice.

00:24:13 Ich denke, ich werde Bail. Ich denke, Hayate wird in Seed. Wenn ich Pushe in der Smoke bin, dann ist es ziemlich schlecht. Ich sehe ein Torps, also ja, Hevereimow might be. Er ist auf dieser Linie. Okay. Ich denke, du hast RPF, dann? Ich denke. Also, da sind Torps, aber die RPF ist in dieser Linie, so... Ich kann den Island hier vielleicht noch etwas auf den Ohiot.

00:24:39 Oh, your AA is going to get you playing spotted now. It's off, it's off. I turned it off. That was, uh, that was worried for you. Uh, the Ohio is my RPF now. So, DD is farther than me than the Ohio is. So, probably on the, like, 8 square swing. I mean, there is literally a smoke cloud, like, down here. I'm guessing that might be where I'm destroyed. RPF is still on the Ohio.

00:25:07 Unless the DD is between me and the Ohio? Maybe. I don't have support for you right now, I'm going behind the rock. There's the Zau rushing down middle to kill our CV. The secret missions never end. E for a ship means you remain on that ship. E for a lot of ships means you're COTS material. That's nice.

00:25:34 Oder die Standard? Du meinst die Art? Oder die ... die ... die ... die ... die ... die ... die ... die ... die ... die ...

00:26:05 We won the other flank and stalemated them over here. I think we're up a sufficient number of ships as to be in no danger of losing this match. Here's the question. Are you going to get a number? I might get like a 3 for this one. You got a kill.

00:26:26 Du hast eine Plane Kill. Ich habe das eine Plane Kill. Das ist gut. Du bist gut jetzt. Ja, vielleicht kann ich den Hiyata finden und ein bisschen mehr von ihm sein. Ich glaube, er hat sich schon mal in Vermont gefunden. Ja, ich gehe für den Unwashed Mountain Man.

00:26:48 Are there more maps in work? Oh, we currently have the one that we just have the community vote for in the pipeline. We might be working on some more too later on. But for now, we just have the one announced. 2022 was a bit of an awkward year. We actually went ahead and changed our, like we split. Some things happened in the world. Yeah, we had kind of a territorial split, so to speak. So, I mean, we went through a bunch of changes.

00:27:17 Und zwar das war ein Aspirational Goal bei der Zeit, das nicht hätte sein können, aber wir haben eine Artikel gemacht, wo wir ein Survey gemacht haben, für alle die Leute da in der Player Base haben, was sie gerne sehen, was sie für eine Map wir arbeiten haben. Und wir können das eigentlich um, ich denke, wenn wir zu Port kommen. Ja. Denn es ist pretty. Die Finger Trees, man, die nicht gewinnen. Ich war sad, dass ich das. Ich wollte die Weird Trees gewinnen. Oh, die Finger Trees waren freaking mich aus, dude. Ja.

00:27:46 2022 is when Gaishu started growing that beard. Huh? Not quite true. It's been a while, but... Player design map competition. Unfortunately, I don't think we can really release the map creation tools. But it might be interesting to have people whiteboard a design or something.

00:28:15 Not a bad idea. I think we'll just go ahead and face check the Hiata here and the game is pretty much over. Although I think he's actually not coming towards me. I think he's going towards B. Which is kind of a shame. I don't know. You might catch him. I think he had RPF on me and now I don't. I don't think he swings to D7 because there's a Venezia chasing. I think you end up catching him on the other side of that island if you don't shoot.

00:28:44 I wanted to shoot to see if I would be spotted, and yeah, he's doing what I thought, which is going towards B. Well, he didn't go to D7. He didn't fail me there. Oh, I think the match is going to end before I get shots on him. It's quite sad. Quite sad. Are there any new ships with F keys in the future? Uh, possibly. So... Maybe TM? There's only so many things that you can do with ships in terms of armor numbers, gun sizes, you know, reloads, etc. And...

00:29:13 FK does allow us to add kind of additional gameplay to ships. Um, and it's been fairly successful in doing that. Well, that was a golden ray too. Yep. That's pretty spicy. I wanted to get like 20k HP off, but then he just died. Alright, let's see. He got squished. Hey, you got a two. I got a three again. Yep. So, neither of those are E unless you reverse the three, then you're golden.

Map-Abstimmungsergebnisse und Ranked-Entscheidung

00:29:40

00:29:40 Then you got it. Top 20% game, a little bit mediocre. I mean, we kind of rolled their team too there, so if we had a little bit of a longer match, I think that might have been promising. Alright, well, let me see if I can pull up that article with the weird finger trees. Yeah, let's go over the results of the map vote. Alright, so I've got it up on my screen. Over to you. So, if you go into the News tab...

00:30:04 You can check out right here. We have results. A new map helped us pick the theme. Well, congratulations. It has been picked. So the winner is Torres Strait, which has some beautiful water in it. Yep. But it definitely looks islandy. We got islandy, but now we're going to have some more islandy. And as far as the time of the day, we're actually going for dusk. Now, I'm not too surprised at that because I know people have been asking for night battles for a long time. And there's an operation that's kind of nightish. Yep. Cherry Blossom.

00:30:30 Aber ja, es ist sehr schön. Super curious. Ich war für Dusk selbst, also super super happy about that. Oh, well, you got half of what you were hoping for. I was hoping for, uh, what's the name of the one with the funky trees? Socotra Archipelago. Yeah, I was looking for that one. Look at this tree, man. Like, what is this? It's like, it's like that should be grass and these are the roots, although they're way too thick and you just kind of got rid of all the dirt. It's an inverted tree. Finger trees, man.

00:30:59 But Night would have been good for Reunion. Actually, yeah, like the volcano aesthetic with the low visibility map would have been pretty cool. Yeah. But you know, we can always reuse some of these ideas. Well, of course. And I mean, yes, we're working on a map, and we could of course work on more maps in the future, but this is the one that we're talking about right now, so woot! Alright. That's what humans say, right?

00:31:25 Chat is now being mad at my pronunciation. Is it Archipelago? Archipelago. Archipelago. As many times as I've needed to use that word in my life have been, if I recall, three. Because I've been saying all three of them on this stream. It's just not something that comes up very often. Not a super common word for everyday use in Austin, Texas. Well, that's, yeah, all the more. Maybe depending on where you live, you might use it more often. Supercontainer. What are we going to get?

00:31:54 100 Debt Flags. Oh, wait. It's wrong on two counts. One, no Debt Flags. Two, it wouldn't be 100. It'd be 50. Any guesses before I open it? Tells you how long it's been since I've gone one. And by the way, so talking about the theme of today's episode on the way World of Warships turns, I don't know. We're going to be going for either. We're going to be going to see what our efficiency badges that we can pick up.

00:32:23 Or we'll play some Ranked. And when you engage tryhard mode, you can interact with chat, but you're in tryhard mode. It can be rough. If we're doing Ranked, for instance, it might be one of us playing and not both of us playing, and the other one can hang out with chat. 25 green bonuses. And I'm seeing a bunch of green bonuses. What do you think? I'm going to call you and get some blue free XP boosters. Blue.

00:32:51 Blue Free XP. Okay. Survey says... Oh, flags. 50! Hey, those are good flags. Yes, actually. Consuel flags are good. Well, I did actually pick a flag container, signal container, so that works out even better. Here, have some more. So, before we move on, let's do this. Chat. Why don't you put in the chat...

00:33:18 Wo chat lives. Why don't you go ahead and put Would You Like to See Ranked? Both of us have not played Ranked this season, so we would be in Tier 6 to 7. Or we can do some efficiency badge hunting and try to go full tryhard and see what we can do with that. Which flavor of tryhard would you like? Some efficiency badge hunting tryharding or some ranked tryharding? Which flavor? So there is a Transformers thing still going on and you can get

00:33:45 So if you haven't finished the collection, there's a whole bunch that you can get with a combat mission that's out if you hadn't played. And I think you can pick up a few more for some credits. There are some nifty packs and stuff. And I have learned that there are coupons or a coupon for this. And it's on the website. It's not in the Armory, it's on the website. So if you are interested in getting some Transformer goodness, please go to the website so that you can get a cool discount.

00:34:13 I'm seeing a lot of Ranked. Seeing some questions of, do I even have tier 7 ships? I do, I do have a few. Forcing Gaisu to play tier 7 sounds like a punch. The things I do for stream. Although we could make a sconce play it. I have played a large amount of Ranked in my time.

00:34:38 Also a cool ship. Unbreakable Line? It's insane. We did have a lot of fun playing Unbreakable Line on the last couple weeks of stream. We could always play some more this stream. Yeah, we kind of scheduled for like, we'll play one game. And then that turned into six. And it's like, okay, we'll play one game. And then that turned into three. So, yeah, we've definitely done some Unbroken Line.

Ranked-Spiele und Schiffsentscheidungen

00:34:58

00:34:58 All right, so I think you've been a little more on the chat, and I am actually seeing a bunch of ranked. So we're doing ranked? I think we're doing ranked. All right. Let's see if we can do it. So I'm not going to rank out on stream. It would take too long. It would take a very long time. I'm sorry, man. I've got to leave the dip. No. No. Ranked with Atlanta is very easy. Actually, yeah, I think Atlanta would probably be my pick for tier 7 ranked. It's got the radar. It's got the DPM.

00:35:25 So I think the last time I did Ranked, um, for Tier VI and VII, I think what I ended up playing was the Omono. The Omono? That is not what I would pick.

00:35:49 Why? Why Omono? Because when I was playing Ranked, every single match had three battleships and whatever else. So it's like... Three Scharnhorst 43s of death. Well, I might as well have torpedoes to try to do something against the three battleships, because why not? And then that's where the Omono came in. It has a decent range. You throw a volley, you probably get a fire. Maybe you get some torpits. Be happy.

00:36:16 In ye olde days, when Kyiv was Tier VII, I used to play Kyiv in Ranked and just run into the enemy backline and then just farm their battleships from there. Worked quite effectively.

00:36:32 So, I do actually want to buff the Torps if that's like the whole reason to bring this. So, I will do that. Um, don't care about the blood chance though. Well, Torp speed I do. Okay, reload. Torp damage. Yeah, for the lulz. Um. I can't believe he's doing it. He's playing Omona. Why would you... Why is this weird? I don't know, it's just...

00:36:58 Not a ship I would think of. What heresy is this? I want to carry a game. I know. A Mono. If I recall correctly, the Zao, or sorry, the Yodo kept getting buffed in testing, meaning that it probably needed a little help, and all the rest of the ships kept getting nerfed. Yeah. So... Yeah, I can tell you something. Because those ships are bad, just say it, Gaishu. Look, every ship deserves love. Every ship deserves love.

00:37:27 I mean, I'm just trying to pick to what I'm expecting to go against, and usually when I play ranked, half of every team is Battleships. Yeah. There we go. Case in point. You got a Colorado? No Sharn Horse 43s? I'm shocked. I don't think Sharn 43 has been available for a while. That is true, but so many people got it. I remember after it was available, almost every match had full Sharn Horse 43s. I mean, yes, but...

00:37:56 It has been a while. It has been a while. You can't discount how much people hop in, they play a little, they hop out, they come in. So... Well, I definitely want to play with DDs between me and the enemy. I'm absolutely feeling that.

00:38:17 Does a stream challenge between Eskons and Geisha for top damage? No, no. We're just challenging ourselves. No, it's just, you know, we can go for stars or we can go for badges. And, I mean, obviously the e-badge should be at the top 1% of base XP earned, which is hard as F. Yep. Or, I mean, doing ranked. And I'm going to be honest, bronze ranked?

00:38:42 I'm not going to call this one an E-level challenge, but there are some folks that are just like, Ranked is really tough because you get a lot of chaotic stuff and you can definitely get some Chaos and Bronze. I mean, with Ranked, the smaller team size can definitely make it a little bit more swingy as well. You lose a ship and you're down a very significant portion of your team.

00:39:03 Not super excited that they're traveling together, but at the same time, if they trip across Aditi, it just means they kill them faster. Oh, did you not take Last Stand? No. Well, I mean, considering like half the team is battleships, then they're probably not going to be shooting HE at you. You'll probably be okay. To be fair, I'm probably positioned too far forward. That's, uh...

00:39:30 Run it down, run it down. A common issue for me in a Cruiser is to play it like a DD. Ranked is hoping you don't have an AFK guy on your side. Some of the best feelings when you have an AFK and you win anyway. Yep, very hard. It just makes you feel like you're doing something really right.

00:39:51 All right. I'm just doing B. This goes up to what, 13 flex? It does. Looks like we're kind of pushing B in there, all pushing C. I am detected, though. Am I detected by the Mahan? Yep, he is slightly in there. Yep, now he's gone.

00:40:10 Skons, du kannst 43 jetzt für Kohl? Ich bin ehrlich, ich war nicht sicher. So das ist gut zu wissen. Oh, diese Low-Tier ships.

00:40:23 Oh ja, 85,000 Kohl, Scharnhorst 43, right there. What do you know? Oh, I see. The other thing is, um, these ships have a long reload. Yep. So, fire off 11 seconds if, uh, turns out it's just, you need to not shoot again, rather than, you know, firing off quickly.

00:40:46 You can just chill. More likely to be able to go dark sooner. Yeah. You can elect to just not continue firing. Yep. Go dark and do what it does. Grazu, you got some nice torques off there. Ooh. Spicy. AFK solo warriors. Yeah, I've seen a few of those myself.

00:41:13 Es ist immer so lustig zu sehen, wie... Oh, mein Game just crashed. No! Thankfully, nicht Ihr Game. Well, das ist eigentlich extrem... Das ist sehr fortuitous, ich glaube. Even Destroyer HE can Break the Rudder. Interessant. Ich habe nicht viel von der Yodo-Line, das ist eigentlich unter Yodo-Line.

00:41:36 So the ballistics are kind of comfortable. They feel like the same ballistics as the middle tier. I think other than the Soviet light cruisers, I think the Japanese light cruisers have some of the best ballistics for light cruisers.

00:41:57 Er ist noch nicht so großartig, aber sie sind ziemlich gut für die Einladung. 2 Torps? 3 Torps? Vielleicht 2. Er ist voll forward. Ja, er ist münchen. Er ist 3. Ja, er ist ein bader Tag. Und auf fire. Wenn er auf fire ist und er ist flooding, er ist definitiv screwed. Ich denke, er ist so.

00:42:26 Ich werde nicht mehr überprüfen. Ich werde nicht mehr überprüfen. Ich werde nicht mehr überprüfen. Ich werde nicht mehr überprüfen. Ich werde nicht mehr überprüfen. Du kannst nicht mehr überprüfen. Du kannst nicht mehr überprüfen. Du kannst nicht mehr überprüfen. Du kannst nicht mehr überprüfen.

00:42:54 Und die Qualifizierung? Ja, und die Quals. Oh, das ist was ich sollte mit dem 1-Pointer nehmen. Ich sollte die, um... ...ein zu verändern, um... ...ein zu verändern, um... ...ein zu verändern, um... ...ein zu verändern, um... ...ein zu verändern, um... ...ein zu verändern, um... ...ein zu verändern, um... ...ein zu verändern, um... ...ein zu verändern, um... ...ein zu verändern, um... ...ein zu verändern. Wir gut?

00:43:20 We're good, yeah. Maybe, maybe Omono is the pick. It's just specifically, I mean, granted, their DD got torped, the battleship got torped, like, so I just showed up. I mean, all I had to do was receive star, but it is still... I mean, you've done a pretty decent amount, too. Need to switch player scenes so you can see the fight? This is a sconce screen.

00:43:49 Ja, ich denke, ein guter Spieler kann fast jeden Spiel funktionieren.

00:44:05 But I mean, Omono, I think if you're playing guaranteed tier 7 and tier 6 games, it's really not that bad. The guns are good. The torps are good enough. You've got a lot of options. If I had a torp that hit, it would be hitting for 24k. Which is basically all of a tier 7 cruiser. Or a good chunk of a battleship. Yeah, I haven't even landed any torps and I'm already high caliber on here. So, sure.

00:44:34 Just showing up, you know. Low tier rank, the 74k damage, high caliber. Ooh, that's a lot of flames. Let me see if I can finish them off with some AP. So if we can aim over the belt or something. You got those delicious upper belt pins. Could happen.

00:44:58 Either that or try to go for the fail. Yeah. Oh! The hell, the other stuff's not dead yet. Okay. I kind of expected like A and B to be done by now. Eager to see you evaluating Viasma, especially on the receiving end. We definitely played some of it last stream, I think, in Unbreakable Line. We played some in Unbreakable Line, which is a tough place for it.

00:45:23 Also, I mean, I played it badly, so that also sucked. But respawning, every time you respawn with 40% health, technically you need two heals just to be full compared to every other ship that spawns full. It's a thing. Yep, again, the ships are temporary as well. So Fiasma will be going to win. Seal clubbing much. This is ranked.

00:45:48 This is my first battle in this current Ranked season. Unfortunately, if you haven't played Ranked in the previous season, you gotta start down at Bronze with the Plebs. Where everyone starts. He's gotta grind through it.

00:46:03 You gotta be kind. It's not plebs, it's just people that are, you know, playing and they're starting. It's where everybody starts. Super average or a bad influence. Stop it. Get some help. It's okay, you can work your way up to the gold league patricians.

00:46:25 Ich hoffe, Fiasma geht weg und nicht kommt zurück. Nun, Experimental Ships werden in 14.7. Ja. So, sie wird weg. Und ich glaube nicht kommt zurück. Aber ich denke, es gibt keine Plans für sie. O.G. Belfast wäre ein Thema für Tier VII Infusion. Das ist eigentlich true und ich weiß nicht, warum ich nicht gedacht habe.

00:46:49 I guess it's probably been so long since I played Belfast. People say Belfast is OP and then they play it and it always seems like, okay, it was just a shift. I mean, I don't think I've played Belfast in probably actually like three or four years. Alright, well, I believe it's your turn, sir. So why don't you Belfast it up? Alright. Maybe I will Belfast it up. So, instead of the original plan, which is to play Atlanta, let's take a look at...

00:47:15 Belfast, which doesn't have a Commander on it, because I haven't played it in a very long time. You always start in Bronze these days, even after ranking up. That's not correct. So, whenever a new season happens for Rank, you might have like four or five, or in some cases, I think six sprints. Sprint lasts two weeks. Over the course of the sprint, you can get as many stars as you get. If you rank out, you can go through quals, try to get up to the next league. And if you do, you get Silver. Cool, you could...

00:47:44 Theoretically, battle your way all the way out to rank out of that one and qual up to gold and do the same thing. You could get into gold in the first week if you really wanted to. Gets a little lonely at the top end, though. How do we feel about IFHE on Belfast for 207 ranked? Has radar. So it's up to you. How much do you want to go individually DD hunting? Because I'm pretty sure you're just going to stick to whatever large thing you can farm. Well, for ranked, I don't care as much about damage farming because the damage number doesn't matter.

00:48:13 Well, then IFHE's not a bad choice with something with Radar. I mean, I think the baseband is, what, 25mm? No, I'm sorry, I thought you were saying RPF, IFHE. No, no, no, IFHE. What's the breakpoints on it? It's 152s? It's 152s, it has a baseband of 25, and I think tier 7 and 6 battleship armor is 26mm. It is 26. Yeah, so... Um... Yeah, I don't know, like, it would be something...

00:48:40 Yeah, I think you're fine with it. I think it's a little more effective if it was 127, so it was like on a DD or something, because then you're hitting 26 naturally. And that's a hell of a step up. And because I know you're just going to be beating up on battleships all day, then of course it makes sense. I need to leave my own division to play ranked, I think. Makes sense.

00:49:05 Alright, I think the build is alright. Let's go. Are you allowed to answer honestly why only premium ships on Tier 7 have access to radar? Because it's the only ships that have access to radar? I think the Tech Tree lines... What is the EU DD line? When does the radar start? Does it start at 8? Probably does. I think the split... Is it split Tier 8? Splits Tier 8. I think it might start at 8 as well.

00:49:36 I think the rationale behind it, when the decision was made quite a while ago, was to avoid bringing too much radar into the low tiers. Yeah, Belfast was considered pretty OP, and she kind of went the way of the Dodo in terms of being available. Indianapolis, I think, is still available and has radar. It actually goes out to 10 clicks, too, which I would really...

00:50:01 Ja, ich glaube, es war 9. Es war ein Lower-Range, ich glaube, aber es war ein Standard. Atlanta ist nicht 10, aber es ist 8.5 oder 9. Es gibt einen anderen, ich weiß nicht. Ich glaube, es ist 8.8.

00:50:19 So we got 8-9 conceal, 8-5 radar range. It's pretty solid. I think I actually forgot to take the radar coal mod, so we only have 25 second duration, but still pretty solid. Good luck. I think we'll try to play behind the friendly destroyers here. Man, low tier destroyers really don't have a lot of HP.

00:50:40 Cruisers without survivability tools are painful. Yeah, they certainly can be. Ideally, they would have strengths elsewhere, like maybe they just have a lot of damage, or maybe they have really floaty arcs that, I mean, technically it's hard to land the floaty shells, but I mean, you can shoot over an island, which case you would not be seen and not shot back at.

00:51:03 I think low tier cruisers are primarily helped by low tier battleships being very shotgun-y. Not too accurate. It certainly makes it a little less terrifying, but at the same time it's still...

Matchmaking-Diskussion und Fehlerberichte

00:51:17

00:51:17 Overmatch is not a joke, regardless. Atlanta's arcs are a survival tool. I do agree, because they are not rough otherwise. Atlanta's definitely hole-wise in survivability, not really designed to be open-watering it up versus other ships, so being able to arc those shells over islands definitely is a help. When will they fix the matchmaker? Three complete divisions on one side and one incomplete on the other? That's not balance.

00:51:46 Three complete divisions on one side. That actually sounds pretty odd. Usually divisions are split up evenly, or at least kind of evenly. Some people, when they join a match, they will make a division. Like, they'll pick people and say, hey, I'm starting a division, join me. Maybe you had that. Maybe somebody made a division. That maybe sounds like, like you said, people on the in-game team making a div in-game.

00:52:16 Like you said, I think matchmaking does try to match dibs as much as possible. Question. I'm getting transformer crates, but they say duplicate since I finished that a while back. You're doing something wrong. No, you finished the collection. The problem is the container only has collection pieces in it, so you're getting duplicates. That's the way it goes. There's still a lot of people that needed to finish the collection, so it's nice that they're available.

00:52:43 Those are Leontor's. We had four Div once on the enemy team, but none on yours. Matchmaker is broken. Well, if you ever have that happen again, please make sure to take a screenshot, save the replay, and report it in the bug section on the Discord so we can escalate it. Elena's beating me up. Did you guys ever think of making a Tier X Town Class-like Cruiser? So I'll ask you, do you know what a Town Class is? Because I'm not historically up to snuff.

00:53:14 I'm pretty sure, isn't it Belfast? It's like the other ships in Belfast. So Tier X Belfast? I don't know, but the year of service does not necessarily correlate to what tier a ship might be. So for instance, I think Atlantico, if I recall correctly, was like an early 1900s, 1910 or something.

00:53:41 Ich werde meine Radar hier sehen, ob wir die Leone sehen können.

00:54:13 When will Lisboa be ready to buy? I don't know on that. When commanders come out, when special commanders come out, you can grind them in an event. Super useful to grind them in the event. Eventually they'll come back, but it's probably going to be a little while. I know there are a lot of people asking, hey, when's the commander? Rough rule of thumb, definitely can't say this is exact, but usually we wait about one year between releasing stuff like unique commanders.

00:54:43 So soon TM, eventually TM. No specific news. Keep on the lookout. Wargaming would like to think that Matchmaker works properly. I mean, the game obviously is...

00:55:04 No game doesn't have bugs. All code has bugs. Although NASA has a really rigorous many checks that code has to have. Obviously, when something's going into space, you don't want it to have bugs. Yeah, because you ship it up there, then it'll crash. Regarding Matchmaker specifically, Matchmaker's primary duty, what is your function, you make games, is to put people into a match. So the biggest cause of things like what you're describing...

00:55:32 ist, wenn die Leute warten zu lange und die Matchmaker einfach nur mit den Matchen zusammenbauen muss. So unter einer idealen Situation, all die Matches würden ziemlich well-balanced werden, in terms of ship-Classes und Tiers match-up-einander. Aber manchmal ist es gut, was es gut zu tun. Und einfach nur mit dem in. Best I can sagen, ist, um, wenn du ein Problem hast, wo du denkst, dass du etwas falsch ist, oder du denkst, dass du es falsch gemacht hast, oder du denkst, dass du es falsch gemacht hast, oder du denkst, dass du es falsch gemacht hast, oder du denkst.

00:56:00 Screenshots, replays, submit a bug report. There are also people describe, you know, hey, my guns didn't fire correctly. Again, games can have bugs, there could be something going on, but we also need from a coding side of things, you have to be able to reproduce it so that you can zone in on what happened and why. Once you can recreate it, then you can figure out why the code, you know, what code is doing the thing that you can recreate, and then you can fix the code, but...

00:56:30 Es gibt ein ganzes Prozess. So, wenn du eine Bug Report hast und uns mehr Informationen hast, ich habe das, das ist die Replay, das ist die Zeit, das ist die Zeit, das ist mein Computer, all of es. Es hilft, sie versuchen, es zu dialen auf wo es ist. Vielleicht sollte man den vollen Satz bevor commenting. Wir machen es live.

00:57:00 Sancinetti war die erste Legendary zu sein, die durch den Containern stattdessen. Ich weiß nicht, welche die erste war. Oh, was... ...German eine?

00:57:15 Was er ein Container oder war das ein anderes Event? Er ist ein Token? Oh, ich weiß nicht, das war ein bisschen früher.

00:57:37 Ich denke, ich sollte einfach nur Darken campen, wenn der Lyon kommt. Mein Team scheint zu haben, sich zu beherrennt. Commander ist direkt für Kohl, das ist eine gute Idee. Es gibt einen Commander in der Armour. Die Jutland-Brothers und so weiter. Abonneur? Der French Commander? Abonneur?

00:58:06 So, as far as the star, I think there might actually be a bit of a UI.

AFK-Erkennung und Ranked-Feedback

00:58:21

00:58:21 Hmm, confusion. Um, there is something where, like, if you are ranked and you're AFK, like, you never... You load in, but you never do anything, or you disconnect or something, like, that person is completely AFK. But that team wins. Um, on the UI, it'll show that your team got a star, and that includes the person that was AFK. But we have an AFK detection system, which, in that situation, would stop you from getting a star. You wouldn't get any rewards from the battle.

00:58:49 So, it may show, hey, this person got a star, but it doesn't mean that they actually did. As far as reworking rank to be something else, that has been something that people have requested. If you'd like to, you can make a feedback thread on the Discord and start a conversation about it. I reverse back into my smoke. I'm gonna try. Oh, big Yorkshot. Hey, nobody shot me. What do you know?

00:59:18 Very lucky that Sharnhorst didn't shoot me there, to be honest. I'm not playing this already well, by the way. I'm playing this extraordinarily badly. Quite sad. Well, you're not sunk yet. And currently you're still 5-5 on teammates. I mean, I think we're in a decent position. We pick up the Leon there and can farm down the Sharnhorst. Our team all sticking together for the start of the match seems to have actually worked out. So, to camo.

00:59:44 Chemo 1962. Every time I log into the game I have to set all my new ships for the last six months to primary again and all your mission standards and reset your collections. So that's been a thread on the Discord in the bug section and some players found a way to kind of resolve that.

01:00:02 If you have a lot of ships set to primary, and you have your custom consumables, you have a whole bunch of them set to your custom consumables, or this specific way, etc., it seems like once you pass a threshold, maybe you've done 200 ships, 300 ships, or 400 ships, or whatever, once you pass a certain threshold, it's not retaining that information.

01:00:27 So, one of the workarounds that the players in that thread have found is if you remove ships from primary. If you set consoles back to default to get you below whatever that threshold in terms of information value is, then you won't log into the game and have all the stuff that you need to re-click and stuff because it'll save because the information is correct. So, I think most people don't, you know, primary...

01:00:53 Wie ist our Akatsuki open water gunning the Helena at short range? What is going on? I'm trying to basically body block the Hardy from gunning onto Cap, but I mean, I'm not very high HP, so he just shoots at me.

01:01:22 Ich glaube, ich habe den Helene zu schützen. Ich glaube, in Geishu. Oh, er wird versuchen, die Duke of York zu rushen. Oh, no. Gold rank queues sind zu lange, bis zum letzten Sprint sind nicht genug Leute in der Spiel. So, ich habe nach Rangt gearbeitet, und quasi 90% der Rangt gearbeitet sind in Bronze.

01:01:48 9-ish percent of people that play Ranked are in Silver, and 1% of people that play Ranked are in Gold. So if you want to go up to Gold, that's totally fine. You'll be duking it out with the 1% that are able to make it all the way that far. But in terms of your queue time, you will have 1% the player base compared to, you know, how long you might have to wait in Bronze or Silver. It is nice to have the higher skill games, but it is a more exclusive player base that you're playing with.

01:02:19 The thing I'm worried about here is the Laharty getting into my smoke fire range. But we do get the Helena, he burns out. Oh, I get an extra consumable, it's actually big because it gives me another smoke. Chad is mad that you're saying Helena. Helena? Whatever, whatever man. It's okay, I said Archer whatever and you got Helena. It's all good, it's all good.

01:02:44 It's not Skill, it's who wants to sit and grind through Silver. To have that much of a reduction, to have a 10 to 1 reduction in both Leagues, I'm gonna be honest with you. There are some people that probably can murder grind their way through Silver and get to Gold. Statistically speaking, it's just true that as you go higher in League, the average win rate goes up. It is a true statement. If you want to get into Gold League, in general you will notice that Skill is higher than Silver.

01:03:14 Wenn du in Silber hast, in general, du wirst die Skill höher sein.

01:03:18 Ich bin nicht sicher, was mein Weg zu gewinnen ist hier. Ich kann nicht einfach nur den Scharnhorst. Du hast mehr Punkte. Ja, und ich denke, wenn ich... Für die nächsten 10 Minuten... Wenn ich den Lihardy find und kill den Lihardy habe, vielleicht haben wir genug Punkte zu gewinnen. Ich denke, dass er den Weg unter A geht. So, ich könnte einfach nach der Island gehen, sehen, ob ich mich von den Scharnhorst von den Scharnhorst und behalte A. Ich denke, wenn du eine kill hast, hast du gewinnen. Ja.

01:03:47 Unfortunately, I think the Sharn Horse is basically behind the rock up here. So that means I'm not going to be able to reset him. There are 42% win rate players in every game in gold. Question to your 42%. Oh, he's just running. No, you can't do this to me. Is it 42% in randoms? Is it 42% in ranked? Because somebody who might be 42% in gold might have been 48-50 in silver.

01:04:11 Es war 54 in Bronze. Es ist also true, dass wenn man genug spielen kann, dass man ein paar Möglichkeiten kann. Ich denke, es sind ein paar Leute, die Brute-Forse sind durch hunderte. Man kann Brute-Forse sind, aber es ist wirklich rare. Es ist wirklich rare. Es ist eine selecte viele. Ich werde mal versuchen, die Scharnhorst zu töten. Unfortunately, Lehardi ist smart. Er weiß, was er ist über, also er ist... Running, instead of trying to cap A.

01:04:40 Teammates like to throw a lot in Bronze. Bronze is where everybody... Bronze is a collection of players from all skill levels. The best of the best, the worst of the worst. Anybody and everybody that goes into Ranked will start in Bronze. So you're going to see people that make great plays, people that make terrible plays, people that make all in between. So as you go up in the leagues, you will generally see more capable play.

01:05:09 Aber ja, du kannst ein wenig und alles sehen, wenn du in Bronze League starten. Wenn ich ein Feuer auf ihn habe, dann wird der Scharnhorst dies. Ich habe IFHE, also habe ich nicht zu viele Fires. Er ist Armored, also ich denke... So die Points sind jetzt aber ich denke, die Swing-A-Battleship...

01:05:37 Oh, we got the fire. He is healing though. Last rank season you had an 89% win rate in props. Yeah, it could definitely happen. You can zip through it. Why do I have to leave him off my screen?

01:05:50 Oh, he's gonna get away. I actually might just die here. I'm very beached. Did not die. Okay. Well, I don't think he burns out. Lil Hardy's obviously not gonna come around the rock and face checkmate. Might. You never know. Nah. So I think we just lose. Well, do you have radar? I do, but again, I'm not lit, so. Yeah, Lil Hardy is way peaced out. Man. I was really hoping I would kill the second fire on the shore in there, that he would be out of heals.

01:06:22 Was also just not leading him correctly. I think it's fast. And most of them violate TOS in chat repeatedly. So if you have something like that, please make a customer support ticket. There are some folks that believe that customer support tickets don't work or don't do anything. We have customer service agents. They get a ticket. They read what's in the ticket. If it violates the terms of service, they sanction. And then they close the ticket and they move on to the next one. That's what they do. So please just...

01:06:50 Wenn Sie etwas sehen, sagen Sie etwas. Ja. Das war eine sehr spannende Loss. Nein! Ja, der Lihardy hat das sehr gut gemacht.

01:07:02 Das ist cool. Oh, ich werde es zurück zu deinem Screen. Es ist deinem Turn. Oh. Ich könnte Omono es wieder. Ich könnte ein CV sein. Sie sind zu sein. Ein Tier 6-CV? Das Sounds like Suffering zu mir. Warum? Low-Tier-CVs sind ein Pain. Sie sind slow. Sie können nicht einordnanzieren.

01:07:23 I mean, honestly, I could just stay with the Emono. I think I might. Because, I mean, it's going to provide what I'm looking for. It worked out for you pretty well. I could do a DD. Yeah, I'll do the Emono again. What happens in chat when you right-click a name and select Misbehavior in chat? At a certain threshold of people being reported, it will trigger an automatic check.

01:07:52 Beyond that, I can't say too much. I mean, you're helping to flag in the system, hey, this person is misbehaving in chat, but it's always better, it's always more impactful to make a CS ticket and get a CS agent involved. CS agents are more capable in terms of recognizing a situation and enacting a sanction, escalating the sanction if need be. If somebody turns out to just be like, wow, this is

01:08:22 This is the craziest dude that I've ever seen in my life. And the CS agent is like, yep, they can just go straight to Instaban, like gone. So CS tickets, it takes a few minutes, it does, that you'd have to tab out to make something like that. But it's also more powerful in what it does. As far as like, there are some folks that are like, well, why can't you make it in game that I could just click on somebody's name and it would do the same thing.

01:08:48 Unfortunately, we have people that will report folks for no reason. They'll report folks just because of fun or for trolling or whatever. And that's not a way to spend a live agent's time sifting through what's real and what's not real. But for somebody to actually make a CS ticket means that they genuinely think, hey, I need help with this. And we have CS agents that are able to help with that. So very much recommend the ticket path.

01:09:18 I know it gets memed on a little bit. It shouldn't. It actually works. But... I've spent hours of my life, days of my life, trying to convince people. So please just believe me on this. It works.

Reporting System und Spielverhalten

01:09:38

01:09:38 You wish there was a bot reporting option. Again, please make a CS ticket. There is a poor play option, I mean, that you could pick, which is just indicative of like, hey, something is wrong here, please look into this. All of that stuff does get tracked, but at the same time, again, you could have people that just report someone for no reason, so it's not actually a real thing.

01:10:05 The game has the option to report for poor play. What is the maximum punishment for this? What does one have to do with yourself ban by ticket with this report? The endgame poor play thing is mostly just interacting with the Karma system, as far as I'm aware. Enough of them might trigger a check for a bot, for example. But I would not worry too much about it. How does one make a CS ticket if you've never made one before? I think on the launcher, the WGC...

01:10:32 There's a little section where you can contact customer support. Otherwise, you can go to the World of Warships website and do it that way. Where there's player support, you just go there. You do that. I don't know when I switched my guns, but it might actually pin. You do, a little.

01:10:53 Unfortunately, I can't charge two battleships to try to root out the DD. Nope. Is this another three battleship game? Of course. It's ranked. Realistically, well, there's two reasons for that. One, it's bronze ranked, and everybody starts there, which means, again, the highest to the high, the lowest to the low, anybody and everybody, etc. And the other reason why you see so many battleships is...

01:11:18 Battleships have a lot of armor compared to a Cruiser. You could take a random shell. Oh, there's half your health. Oh, well, that's cool. So, I mean, that could be really tough in a Cruiser, especially if you're a newer player, whereas in a Battleship, you might miss a bunch of your shells because the accuracy of Battleships can be kind of sus, but it's very unlikely that you're just going to randomly up and die. I mean, especially for Tier 7 and 6, where after you're using your heals, you might have like four times the HP full of a Cruiser. Makes it a little bit easier.

01:11:48 Es ist wirklich wichtig, dass es in fact ein Spiel ist. Es gibt einige Leute, die...

01:12:17 They treat this as a way of life, and I get you. You know, as a person that can be pretty interested in doing the utmost that you can to get the best outcome possible. It's fun to figure out the mechanics and to try to squeeze every drop of possibility out of it, but this is a game where people play, and you're playing recreational shooty boats. You come home after a long day at work,

01:12:45 Du hast immer gerne Votes, vielleicht weil du in der Militär warst? Oder weil du einfach was super cool hast? Und ich würde einfach mal spielen und spielen. Ja. Ich sage dir, da gibt es viele andere Spiele, die ich immer noch nicht so genihe und genihe. Es wäre so sad, wenn ich nicht so genihe, weil ich es nicht so genihe. Was ist das? 10? Ugh.

01:13:11 Ich weiß nicht, dass wir vielleicht ein bisschen aufhören können. Wir haben... Oh mein Gott, bitte! Bitte! Ja, das ist das, dass du mit dem Zoom-System bist. Ja, manchmal ist es... Press that Shift key. Ich denke, ich mache was ich, was ich möchte, und es ist einfach nicht. So hier sind wir, in der Cruiser, wir leben. Cool. Wir sind die, und nicht wiederkommen zu kommen. Quite ein bisschen von damage, though. Ja, got chonked.

01:13:41 Actually, he shoots again soon. I can't. You seem like you're in pretty deep there. I can't throw Torps. He's gonna shoot again. It's gonna happen. I guess he's looking at the Torps right now. Because we have, you know, three teammates over here as well as me. I think he's suffering a little bit. Wonk. Alright, so we have an Atlanta at range.

01:14:11 Battleship is gone. Better players also want to play the game and enjoy it. My biggest recommendation to you is honestly to play clan battles. Get a group of friends together. Play with a coordinated team. And I've, you know, people have decided that when I say this it's a meme. I'm being honest when I tell you that it's not. If you have a specific way that you want to play the game, please use training battles. But you don't get credits, you don't get base XP, you don't get whatever.

01:14:39 If you have played this game so much that you have a really specific way that you want to play it, specific lineup, specific map, specific play expectation, you'll be okay. You can play some training battles, hang out with a friend, because that's literally what KOTS is. KOTS is an entire tournament that exists in training battles. So get a bunch of friends together, come up with how you want to play it, and make your dream come true. There's no shame in that, it's not a bad thing.

01:15:09 And even more, if you could like, if you've decided this game, this way is the best way, and you're able to make like a Wednesday, a Wednesday training battle league or something, and you have a hundred or a thousand people that show up every Wednesday, like if you can provide that to us, hey, people love this game mode. They love playing your game this way.

01:15:35 Please make this reality. That's absolutely something that we can forward up the chain. Wow, look at this viral community sensation. Everybody wants to do this. Isn't this so cool? Just saying. I know it can be seen as a meme, but it's not. If you have a vision that you want to bring to life, please feel free to try. You just need to get other people on board and make it happen.

01:16:02 Can I slot this? I don't think I can

01:16:26 Wap, wap.

01:16:55 All right, well, I don't know how this one's going to go down, but... Yeah, I mean, I think you have a bit of an advantage just in the points and the caps, and you have a battleship left, so if he can just sit on the cap, then it'll be pretty hard for them to win. Does Laharty have smoke? Does not.

01:17:17 So Lahardy is flirting around with B, but yeah, Battleship has a ton of health. The Akatsuki is going to take probably one, two, maybe three minutes before getting back involved. And it looks like the Stord is not going to be hunting. They're just going to be chilling. They're going to be shacked up together. Mutsu might end up eating a bunch of Twerps here while the Stord kind of like hides. I think the Hardy already uses Twerps, it looks like.

01:17:44 Das ist die Wahrheit.

01:18:07 People aren't allowed to be bad and to play the game and enjoy the game. They're gonna be on your team and they're gonna be on the enemy team and they're more likely to be on the enemy team if you're a good player.

01:18:18 Das ist das wie es ist. Und wenn du weniger bad players möchtest, dann würde ich dir spielen Ranked, um Silber, um Gold zu gewinnen. Es wird eigentlich filter out viele von ihnen. Und wieder, spielen Clan Battles. Wir haben ein Coordinated Team zusammen. Clan Battles, es ist viel Spaß, bis es demoralisiert wird, wenn du den Wallen hast, wo du einfach... Du musst past es. Du musst past es. Du musst past die Wallen. Der Problem ist, du wirklich steckst zu deinem Capabilität. Und dann, wenn du es...

01:18:43 Das ist eigentlich wo du wirst. Du wirst ein paar, du wirst ein paar, das wird wo du wirst. Weil die anderen Teams sind als du wirst. So... Das ist kind of wo Clan Battle Knights... Okay, well, we did the thing. People stop. The part I enjoyed was figuring out how to get past the plateau. You gotta push. Stored, come on. Stored is...

01:19:08 Okay, Akatsuki got taken up. That's big. For me, that locks it out. I think you're pretty safe. I think you're pretty safe for the win here.

01:19:32 You don't even have a clan to play with. Find one. There are many recruitment posts on our official Discord. You can shop around. I know that there are a lot of clans that are looking for players. Discord.gg frontslash wows. I highly recommend the Clan Battles experience. I put so many hours of my life into Clan Battles. I actually kind of don't like thinking about it, but I mean, that's a lot of time. I think when I played Clan Battles...

01:20:00 Season 9, 10, 11 or so. I recall I did something like 170 to 240 battles per season. Yeah. And I mean, I did five, six seasons or so. So like. I pretty regularly played between 200 to 300 battles like every season from like season one through like 12.

01:20:25 Unless you want to be a jerk and kick out lesser players from clans, you do get a point of diminishing returns. Well, there are alpha divisions and bravo divisions, so you can split it up that way. Or there are some larger clan structures, like I used to be in KSC before I joined Wargaming. And KSC, KSD, KSE, KSF, they're all sort of a family of clans. I know a lot of clans do that kind of structure where, I mean, part of it is you've got to decide what you want to do, right? Do you want to be the family fun atmosphere?

01:20:55 Just chill, have some good times? Or do you want to be ultra-competitive and push it to the limit? So that is correct. You can simultaneously acknowledge that bad players exist while not being a jerk about it. At the end of the day, it's really easy to forget that when you're yelling at somebody, like you're yelling at the ship on the screen, that there's a person behind it.

01:21:22 Es ist viel besser, am Ende der Tag, zu fühlen, dass du eine gewisse Erfahrung gemacht hast und andere Leute haben Spaß mit dir. Und wenn du einfach in die Leute spielst du, wenn du gut bist, die Leute du mit gut bist, die Leute du mit nicht wirklich appreciate dir, dass du da bist. Es ist einfach so schön. Es ist ein Spiel. Hab Spaß. Enjoy die Spiel. Nein, du bist nicht allowed. Nein, du bist nicht allowed.

01:21:54 Despite encouraging team play, we are sadly seeing new players getting to high tier ships that they don't know how to play. When they die, they blame everyone except themselves. Well, there are some folks that have played the game for a long time, and they still don't know very well how to play, and they still blame other people. There's a little bit of a humanity in there, you know, where something went wrong, and I think I did the right thing, so it couldn't have been me. Best thing I can ever recommend.

01:22:22 This was one of the ways that I was trained, is through replay reviews. Take yourself out of the moment, take yourself out of that specific instance in time where you were just in the heat of battle and look at the replay and try to think, what could I have done differently? And you will come up with some interesting shit, especially if you review it with other people and they see things differently than you.

01:22:47 It can be extremely helpful in refining your play because you might have made a decision but not been looking at something that your friend catches or maybe that you catch on a rewatch. Yep, I think that holds true for a lot of things in a lot of games where just recording what you do and looking at it out of the moment helps a lot in basically everything. And again, the only thing you can change is yourself. So do you want to try Belfast again or do you want to try the Omono? I'm going to play the Byoko.

01:23:16 Okay, Miyoko's solid too. Miyoko has a great deck. Yep. I'll just beware the bait turret. I'm going to turn bronze side and shoot all my guns and you can't stop me, Esconce. So yeah, I mean, 32mm deck actually, so you can bounce a lot of the shells from battleships at your tier if they hit the deck. I actually am going to play with heavy HE, so we're going to rock the 13km concealment. And we're just going to try to farm.

01:23:44 Everyone expects all players to be pro. That was actually a conversation I had once on my stream. There was somebody who said, I'm just normal. I'm just average. No Destroyers, oh my goodness. When I asked them, what's your win rate? Oh, I'm 55%. And I was like, you think you're average? Nah. Like 55% I think is the top 10.

01:24:11 Top 6%, something like that. I do not remember the distribution off the top of my head. I believe the average is 48, which I think would make sense in that there are a lot of people that probably play the game, play it a little, and be like, I don't know if this is for me, and then they move on. So you might have accounts that just have a lot of losses that likely skew down, but...

01:24:31 The guy who was making this comment didn't realize a 55% win rate is extremely good. It means that out of a class of 10 people, you are the top person in the class. Out of a class of 100 people, you're in the top 10. Like, that's not average. And the reason why he brought this up was he was feeling like the other people in my game aren't doing enough. I'm just average. Why aren't they doing as good or better than me? Well...

01:24:58 You have a skewed expectation of what average means, which is why you're kind of setting yourself up for failure here.

01:25:06 So, like, the best thing I can say is when playing the game, I try, I don't care about the person's name. I don't look at anything specific. Sometimes I recognize clan names. So, like, I recognize the resin guy from earlier, epoxy guy. But outside of that, like, if I see a ship, I see a Bismarck, I have a general idea of what a Bismarck's going to do. And I assume that it's going to do Bismarck things. Or Schlieffen's going to Schlieffen. And you try to plan accordingly, assuming that...

01:25:34 The ship is going to make decisions that make sense for the ship. And yeah, you do the best you can. That's me playing Torpedo Boats. I try to make decisions on what the enemy is going to do, on what makes sense, and they do nothing that makes sense, and I miss all my torps. Every time. Every time. That certainly happens, man. Well, my whole team is going south, so maybe I should have gone south. I'm going to stick to my guns here. We're going to keep going north. The Sinop will join me, I think.

01:26:00 No Destroyers in this match is a little strange. Lots of battleships, lots of cruisers. You like to go to Tier 3 and recruit new players to teach the basics and help rise skill level. That's pretty cool. That's very noble of you. Actually, there's another game called EVE Online where they have a mega group called, I believe, EVE University. Is that right? It was a massive amount of people that said, wow, this game is super complex. We're just going to make...

01:26:29 Basically, like, a school. And we're gonna run it, I think, like a school. And they built their own wiki and built all sorts of stuff. And it's just, they dedicated themselves to it and became a massive effort. And I think there are a lot of people that, you know, fight people or fight them or whatever. Kill some new players or whatever. But there's a lot of respect. There's a lot of respect for people to put time and effort into that. Well, the PG is just setting up shop in the middle.

01:26:58 Ich hoffe, dass ein Battleship einen Blatt wird, aber das scheint nicht zu sein. Ich kann eigentlich nur A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A

01:27:21 Yep, Scharnhorst does have that armored deck. I'll join the Synup here and move down into A and see if we can get Angles on the Fiji just camping it out in B.

Ankündigung von Stream-Codes in Update 14.4

01:27:31

01:27:31 15% closed browser worked, thanks. Yeah, if you're having an issue with drops, the easiest thing you can do is refresh the browser and check it out that way. Oh, by the way, I'm going to put this out here now. So I'm sprinkling some info so you can disseminate it amongst yourselves. I made a proposition and I floated it up and I got the green light. So for...

01:27:58 Update 14.4. The streams for Update 14.4. I'm going to be putting in... Everybody's favorite words. Incoming. We love this word. Yes. I'm going to be putting in for some codes. Now, they're basic. You know, I didn't...

01:28:14 I'm a basic kind of dude. Stream codes? Stream codes? So it'll be some more resources, some more cold containers. But what we're going to be doing is we'll release half of the code in the first half of the stream and half of the code in the last half of the stream. There will be a limited number of redemptions relative to the amount of people that are in the stream. Like we tend to have about 2,000 to 3,000 people in our streams. So we might have about 400 to 500 redemptions of that code.

01:28:41 So if the first thing you do is, there's a code, I'm going to put it on Reddit. I'm going to put it on Discord. I'm going to scream it with the loudest microphone in the universe so everybody knows it exists. It means it'll get redeemed really quick. But the code is for people that are here. For people that are watching. People that are hanging out with us. So I'll be looking to make these for not just the North American English stream, but for all the streams. For all the streams that we do, all the different languages, etc.

01:29:09 I still need to hype it all up. But I did get the go-ahead. So for 14.4, for the streams that'll be in there, we're gonna be breaking it up. And again, the whole goal is for people to be here. There are some folks that, you know, they're gonna turn on the stream and they're gonna just farm the drop and, hey man, you know, make that bread. Make those community tokens. But we're here for literally hours.

01:29:37 ...to inform and entertain you. And we really appreciate everybody who's in the chat hanging out with us. And we'll have a code for the folks that are active. So yeehaw. So I'm just letting you know it's going to be a thing. And you can look forward to that when it happens. We were actually down a ship.

01:29:58 I think we will get the Scharnhorst ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

01:30:27 But basically Team HP Plus has an issue with some event modes, and this is one of them. So yeah, when you respawn, it causes an old screen that doesn't matter in the game anymore to peer up. So just go ahead and get rid of that mod.

01:30:45 Und in general, mit neuen Updates, oftmals Mods wird einfach nur Probleme geben. So, wenn etwas passiert ist, dass sich die erste Schritt ist, dann muss man den Mod zuerstellen. Ich habe keine Antwort für Sie auf das, aber das war ein Request, dass wir, sagen wir, Pan-American Commanders sprechen.

01:31:13 I definitely do like his works. Draws a lot of Yomu. I don't know what... I know there's a picture or something that went out, but... I don't think we've announced the exact dates. Yeah, in general... It'll come, it'll come. First rule of Collab Club, don't talk about Collab Club. Information will come out as it comes out. Yep.

01:31:43 As for why, I see some questions about why there aren't Chinese streams, for example, for APAC. I know they run stuff on their own platforms. And I know sometimes on Twitch, on this channel, we'll have a Japanese stream occasionally.

01:31:58 I am lit by the Rook here. Will the special Pan-American Commander be available again? I do believe they will be available at some point, but I don't have information on when that is. Just hang in there. I think their topic has come up quite frequently. People are really excited about it. We look for about, usually, a one-year window before bringing stuff like that back. But again, nothing exact to share right now.

01:32:23 Ist der Hygge going to look at me? I'm concerned about getting blabbed by him. I'm gonna grieve for my extra gun here. I mean, at least if they take shots at you, you can bounce off the deck. Yeah, I mean, I am pretty close to them though, so it's a little bit more likely to hit the side, I think.

01:32:41 Maybe I can put a fighter out here and spot them. I often admire your aim. I mean, it's a big target, it's 11 kilometers away, and Yoko has Destroyer Disversion. There are so many times where I take shots feeling like, okay, that's super structured. Nope, Shatter's on the gun. Oh, I thought I would go dark sooner.

01:33:03 Will the WoWs card game happen? I think on the PTS, there was a little armory activity or something that had cards and such. That would be with the next update. PTS is for the next update, so I'm sure you'll be able to see it when the update goes live. I'm going to greed for the guns. I'm going to greed for the guns. Oh no, you're doing the bait turret. I'm shooting all five guns. Oh, there's the shot. It's okay, we're fine.

01:33:31 Turn and turn. Can't quite see over the monitor. Peek over. Okay, he should just burn here. That was a close shot from the Hugo. Oh, Hugo does have Reload Booster, but it looks like he's staring at the synop. So we're going to greed for all the guns again.

01:33:54 The bait turret is so strong. I want to farm, I want to farm. It's like a tier 5. Either you don't have a bait turret or you really get away with it. And then tier 6, all of a sudden the bait turret appears and it's like, what? And it's really unpleasant. By tier 7, you kind of trained yourself to recognize the bait turret. It did not get citadel there, which is rather fortunate. Why does the Australian captain sound like an alcoholic? Which Australian captain?

01:34:25 Wasn't there, there was a pirate commander that we had, I think. Merinda, Melinda Kelly? Yep. But I don't know if that's who you're talking about.

Feedback und Community-Interaktion

01:34:39

01:34:39 Synup is sending it. Is that a silver camo or a steel camo? Is there any idea if the box page of the Armory will ever list the collections you've completed? I'm sure it's not a huge issue, but sometimes you are curious about whether you need a box or not. That's actually a great suggestion. That sounds like a cool quality of life thing. Why don't you, if you head over to our Discord, there's a general feedback forum and you can make a thread about that and then make your suggestion.

01:35:07 I remember the excitement when you could see how many dang flags you had when you were in the armory instead of being like, ah, dammit, did I... Gotta go back and check. How many of those are 40 of them? And you just keep going back and forth. Will Benham ever be back in game? She's likely to stay pretty rare. Pretty powerful ship. Alright, so chat. We've done some ranked.

01:35:29 We're now four ranked games in. Now we can continue. I could probably get another ranked game. He could probably get another, well, maybe ranked game in. I don't know. Or we can hunt for an efficiency badge. So which would you like? It's on you. You have the power. What would the people like? Yeah, we've got 35 minutes. So we could do potentially two more games of ranked. Or we can try to... Oh, there's some Unbreakable Line requests. Unbreakable Line. Unbreakable Line is a lot of fun.

01:35:57 We'll do some Unbreakable Line then, that's fine. Okay, lots of eBadges. I do see, alright, well I'll give it a minute. I'll give chat some time to wind up. Invite you back to div? Now when we're doing the eBadge thing, are we doing it one at a time or are we going for broken? We should div, we should div. Okay, we should div, alright.

01:36:20 When will Somers be available? She's a special ship. Special ship. We'll see you, Joe. Somers is not too likely to just be released either. What do I want to play? What do I want to go for Eon? Maybe the Austin.

01:36:42 You're going to do some Austin. Maybe I'll chainsaw it up with Austin. Austin's a scary ship. You know, if you're thinking Austin, you should play Barbiano. Ooh. I'm really bad at playing Barbiano. Really? I'm pretty bad at it. Oh, okay. I have not had great games with the Barbiano. I need some more practice. I see. What could I get? What can I get an E with? Hmm.

01:37:08 I could try to play Midway and play for Impact. Midway? Oh, I don't do that very often, but I could give it a go. I could try to go for a damage record or something. So if you're playing Midway, maybe I won't play Austin.

01:37:27 Austin with some of the best AA in the game? It's not about the AA. It's about the spotting in a CV match makes it harder to get close. And I need to be close than Austin. How close do you need to be in an Austin? Like 13 kilometers. And you're firing over an island? Or you're just like, hey, I'm here. I mean, it only has like 15 kilometer range. So, I mean, you got to be close. Okay. Got to be close. All right.

01:37:57 Yeah, whatever. Do the thing. Okay. Maybe I will play...

01:38:04 Hmm. Wisconsin, thank you for trying to help out with your code suggestion during streams. Nice to meet you're being heard by staff, as sometimes we wonder here in chat. Well, we are staff. So, I mean, we certainly hear each other. I mean, really, if you think about it, ideally people want to hang out because they want to hang out. You know, they want to listen to the information we have. They want to enjoy hanging out with us and stuff. So, like, there's that.

01:38:34 But there are a lot of people that come to Twitch. There are Twitch drops. So, absolutely. I mean, it's understandable. It's fun. So you get to hear about what's going on in the game. You get to hang out with us. You get a drop as well. But my theory, so we're testing this out. My theory. His hypothesis. Yes, my hypothesis is having a little additional incentive to hang out and watch the stream as opposed to, you know, just showing up and getting the drop.

01:39:02 Heading along your merry way, ideally gets us a little more engagement in the chat, a little more eyes on the stream, a little more back and forth, you know, and I think that's a good thing. And if you're going to be hanging out with us for two hours, getting a more resources container for it, I don't think is that scary. All right. So there's a lot of battleships, which I know you get excited about, but I don't.

01:39:28 Look at the HP pools. Can you swap it to the match? I can. I guess we could watch the game instead of our two faces the whole time. Have you tried bikinis and hot tub? Well, there was the Bogskini a long time ago. That was a thing. We know Bogsy hot tub is often requested.

01:39:54 Ja, ich glaube nicht, dass wir noch ein Update haben, aber wir haben, wir haben, dass diese Pain-Points sind, die wir wollen. Das ist das ganze Ziel, das die CV-Test war, in der ersten Zeit war.

01:40:21 Es dauert ein bisschen Zeit, aber es ist sicherlich etwas zu sein. Aber es ist sicherlich etwas zu arbeiten. Ah, Sherman ist da. Das ist zu schlecht. Ich werde nicht excite. Ich werde versuchen, dass es ein ein-Way-Trip ist für das. Reste in Peace, Rocketplanes.

01:40:45 Das ist 15. Das ist gut. Die H-Vars oder die Tiny Tims? Die Tiny Tims. Ich habe immer die H-Vars benutzt. Ich habe wirklich die H-Vars benutzt und dann die Rocket-Reticle verändert. Und dann habe ich nicht die H-Vars benutzt. Das ist sehr sad. Ich habe die Tiny Tims benutzt, wenn sie die Vertical-Reticle benutzt.

01:41:04 Es macht es ein bisschen einfacher, um Superstructure hits zu bekommen, aber jetzt ich eigentlich prefer H4s zu machen. Ich könnte den Sherman werden, und dann... ...swingen in die Montana. Es ist so, wir haben vier Battleships kommen in diesem Bereich. Vielleicht sogar die Vermont-Joyne haben alle fünf Battleships hier. Exciting.

01:41:26 Actually, I think I'm going to move towards B. I'm going to move towards B and see if I can play the gap here. I might off-angle this, but I don't think it connects. Alright, we're just going to go for the Monty here. Actually, that was early on the heal. Should have waited until 3.5. Yeah, usually you want to use it to cover the midrange. It's just going to be the one-way trip, so it is what it is. Firmin's already smoked. Might work for the gearing, but if we're trying to go for...

Quackens, Channel Points und Community-Belohnungen

01:41:51

01:41:51 Damage, Impact, whatever. Does he let the... Does he rep the Flood? He does rep the Flood. The Monty? Yeah. Ooh, I can farm him. Go away. My damage. Go do other things. But the fires, the fires, the scouts. How about making Quackens give us rewards? You have 171k of them. So the Quackens, occasionally, like, there's the Redeem Quacken to get a container or whatever, you know, that we've done in prior stuff.

01:42:19 All of that has to be done manually. All of that has to be done with volunteer moderators helping out getting server names and stuff or whatever. If it was automated by a bot, then that would be a different story. But unfortunately, that is not the case. I mean, we would like in general, I think, to think of some ways that we can make channel points matter. But I mean, people have a lot of them stockpiled at this point.

01:42:48 So you ought to be a little bit careful. And again, like Ascon said, we would probably need to set up some kind of integration.

01:42:55 Das macht es nicht eine sehr viel Arbeit-intensive Prozess, um Menschen zu gewinnen. Ja. Und, um... ...unfortunately, wie... ...learning oder figuring out how to deal with Quackens und stuff ist nicht wirklich die Priorität an der Moment. Aber, Occasionally you get to do Quackens für, like, tournaments. They tend to be used for, like, Predictions und stuff, oder... ...we'll have, like, little special streams, where... ...maybe you can use your Quacken to spin the Wheel of Fate. Those are always fun.

01:43:26 Could I get resets on the Sherman? No, I can't be baited by resets. I don't know, resets give you a lot of basic speed. But you did already cap, so. I think I'm just going to spend my time farm the Vermont here and stick him behind our Clever maybe in case he spots the Sherman.

01:43:52 What's a quacken? It's the channel points. If you look at the bottom of your chat, it's how you highlighted your message by spending quackens.

01:44:06 Look at the little icon for it, it's adorable. It would be pretty hilarious if I could land Torp in on this gearing, but he seems to have noticed. Yeah, he did, so no joy there. Vermont's staring at me, uh oh. Are you gonna turn out or turn in? I'm gonna need to delay, so I can get this heal off.

01:44:34 Should be a full broadside there. Burning through resources pretty hard. Yeah, you're going pretty hard for early game.

01:44:42 Es ist nicht was ich normalerweise machen. Ich finde, die Diagonal maps sind ziemlich rough, weil sie nur auf den Bordern sind. Das macht die Angeln von Attack etwas weniger. Es ist ein bisschen rough. Ja.

01:45:12 Your Flood got it. Sad. Resisting the urge to Nelson laugh. What can you use Quackens for? I think right now we're basically just highlighting messages and stuff like that. The instinct to assist is too hard.

01:45:41 Oh, da ist die Gearing. Kann ich das korrekt? Oh, na. Das sieht gut aus. Oh, der Clever hat die Gearing-Kill mit 8 HP auf ihn. Das ist nicht gut, dass wir jetzt aus A.A. und... Recall.

01:45:58 Korpsen an a battleship, maybe the Borg. Hello, German Intelligence, one of our NACCs. Yeah, new CC. Plays a lot of tanks, I think, and recently joined for WoWs. Originally a tanks contributor, started to dip his toes into ships, now he's here with us. What was the subsection of Discord to drop the quality of life suggestions? So there's, we have a forum, like general forum.

01:46:27 Then below that, there's a Feedback Forum. It should be labeled General Feedback. If you want to start a topic in there, just add a title that's somewhat descriptive, and then in the main body of the post, just describe what you'd like to see. Yeah, the General that I was thinking of is General Discussion. So, General Discussion Forum, General Feedback Forum, and then there's other things as well. Alright, so I think the Borg is having a rough time. So, I don't really have a great angle on the Kurfürst here, but...

01:46:56 Also, Kurfürst hat ein wenig Torp. Torpedo protection. Oh, da ist mein Witherer. Sie sind einfach clumped. Ja, sie sind super clumped und auch sehr far von den Capps. Und der Sherman hat Torp by a Minnow. Rup. Ist er noch Flooding? Er ist nicht Flooding. Er hat sich noch ein Flood da gemacht. Ich weiß nicht, aber... Of course, er ist auf dem Montan.

01:47:26 Damn it. The time off ship sinking and unbreakable line is great.

01:47:35 Please put that in Random Battles. Random Battles has a long and storied history of being what it is. I think he may mean the faster ship sinking animation. Oh. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong. I'm assuming that's what you mean there. Respawns themselves are probably not too likely to come to randoms, but people really like the accelerated ship sinking animation, perhaps. I got a double fire. Did you put it out? Damn.

01:48:04 Oh, maybe it re-repped a Flood, but I guess I didn't get a Flood. Hesky Battleship's not just letting your fires burn. I thought it repped a Flood, but I couldn't remember. I got six hits, and I thought there was an additional Ribbon. Maybe, uh... Maybe you didn't repair it, and... I don't know. It can take a little while to fly across the map, so maybe there was something like that.

01:48:25 But we're low on resources. They really are playing Caps or Lava though. Well, they don't have a front line. There's no DDs between them and the enemy. So we have two DDs. They have one that, I don't know, is it Narnia or something? There's a Yu Yang that I saw. The Gearing and the Sherman were playing on B. But they paid for their sins.

01:48:50 Unfortunately, I don't think I'm getting an E this match. I mean, lots of fire damage on battleships. I'd be surprised if I get anything better than a 3, to be honest. Are you sure those are Tiny Tims? They are not. They are HVARs, because I don't use Tiny Tims. I used to use Tiny Tims, but then the reticles changed. And HVARs are more general purpose, and I tend to be more about general purpose play than hyper-specific.

01:49:16 Oh, no, the Grippers wrapped the fires with two KHP left. I don't imagine they did group for AA. They just stalled out because there was no front line. Oh, I'm eating no Yang Torpedoes. Although, to be fair, it's, uh, if we look, like, we're...

01:49:33 kind of even on teams so Kerr first goes down some information on Yu Yang I'll get the Yu Yang relit but outside of us having a lot of cap potential like the teams are a little closer than they could be see if I can hit the Yu Yang here sadly I think I got him

01:50:03 Well, Fighter will keep him lit for a little bit, so you have probably one more shot. Maybe two. See, did I miss? The secondary's finished a minute ago. You got me an ode.

01:50:18 Minotaur is a pretty fun ship. When is your rollout time for the code? Like I said, update 14.4, which is not now. It's coming. It'll come out eventually. I think if you look at the event pass, you probably got something like two more weeks left on the event pass, so maybe sometime around that. We'll see. Oof.

01:50:50 All right, not sure if I make it to the Utrecht in time. Will they post it on the homepage? No. It will be on the stream. The entire purpose of the code is to be released on the stream for people that are watching the stream to redeem when they see it on the stream before it runs out of Redemptions. So it's really, it's literally just about, hey, thank you very much for, you know, taking part in the stream and being here.

01:51:16 You'll be able to collect the first half in the first half of the stream and the second half on the back half of the stream. When it's enabled. What? I don't know what that means, I'm sorry.

01:51:30 I might be able to get... 18k on a CB hull is probably asking a little bit much because he's probably got some torpedo protection. The experimental ships are removed from the inventory. We'll get the modules back. I think yes, you should get any of the upgrades that you put on them, for example, like the main battery mods. We might do it. Yeah. These torpes look good. You ended the game. Aw. I wanted to get the Utrecht. Come on, Esconce. What? There was more HP to extract.

01:51:59 The regular Twitch drops will still be there. I got a 2. I didn't get an E. I got a 2 as well. We're spreading the farm too much. We're spreading the farm too much. Okay. Well, it's 6.41, so we have more time. We could go again. Wait, how fast was that? That was pretty quick. Oh, really? Okay. Alright, this time I will try Austin. Alright, you're doing Austin.

01:52:28 I'm trying to stop the urge of being helpful. So I'm like, well, I could play the Essex and smoke it. No! Play it for yourself, Wisconsin. Be free! If you're trying to get the E, then you gotta make... Whatever, I'm gonna play Midway again. Oh, you mean, will it say on the page, hey, there will be a code on the stream today? I mean, in the announcement that we put out on the Discord, we'll probably say, hey, codes.

01:52:55 I don't know. I'm not exactly sure. I mean, it's probably something worth mentioning, but I guess I haven't thought that deeply on the advertisement section of it. The beginning was, hey, let's do a thing. We got authorization to do a thing, so then we will do a thing. I think particularly the first couple of times we do it, we might put it in the stream title as well. Who knows?

01:53:26 What is the exact date of the new TechTree USD? Can't give that to you, unfortunately.

01:53:35 April 1, 23, 42. Well, goodnight Camel. Yeah, 2 in the morning is pretty late. Thanks for hanging out. What will the next big event be? Game anniversary? The 10th anniversary will definitely most likely be a pretty big event, but I think there should be a couple things before then. Are you still planning on doing community tokens on stream and such? There will still be Twitch drops. The drops will still be doing drops. Everybody likes the drops.

01:54:02 When the drops don't work, everybody says, DROPS! So, like, that's not gonna be affected. This is, it's purely just, um...

01:54:10 Es ist zu sehen, wie viele Menschen sind aktiv und zu verdienen. Es ist einfach so, es ist einfach so, es ist einfach so, es ist einfach so, es ist einfach so, es ist einfach so, es ist einfach so, es ist einfach so, es ist einfach so, es ist einfach so, es ist einfach so, es ist einfach so, es ist einfach so, es ist einfach so, es ist einfach so, es ist einfach so, es ist einfach so, es ist einfach so.

01:54:34 There is a Shenando, which is kind of concerning because his AP Bombs overmatch my armor. Where is the enemy team going? Seems like they... kinda concentrating? Maybe an even split.

01:54:57 Die Shoot Gameplay, Austin Gameplay. I don't know, I haven't been playing particularly well tonight, so we'll see, maybe I'll just explode. You gotta believe. And there's a lot of battleships at a CV, so... High danger of randomly exploding this game. You're watching generally on a second stream while you're playing, so the code thing may not be ideal if you're mid-match. I mean, if you're watching with sound on, I mean, we'll be talking about the code probably when we're distributing it, so... Yeah, it's...

01:55:23 Right now we have, I don't actually know the number off the top of my head, is it 2200? I think if I'm seeing that correctly. So if we have like 500 redemptions, then theoretically that's like one fourth of the entire stream. So you would have some time, you know, you'd have some time to make note of it, try to do the thing. Unless you are literally locked in the middle of like a life and death brawl, you'll probably be able to... Battles of the death. Yeah, probably be able to make something happen.

01:55:54 I might be able to bait this with a fighter, but I can't be sure. Jays, I'm assuming you're talking about the Pan-American Captain. Lots of people asking about that. He will be coming back eventually. The rough time frame is about one year. Very consistent topic. Yeah, I mean, he is a powerful commander. He is a powerful commander. There goes our Mets.

01:56:25 So we get six? We do. In a flood. Seacrete got hoofed. I don't know if I'm going to get much of a follow-up there. I have to be careful here. In lots of battleships, there's a Marseille holding the middle position as well for the crossfiring.

01:56:49 Pretty spooky. But I do need to get close. I'm playing in Austin, so we want to get nice and close to the enemy ships and just chainsaw them down. Redeeming on a phone is difficult. Well, I mean, you could go to the website probably. If you go to World of Warships, I think when you're logged in in your account, you can select your account and redeem a code. Yep. Could be a thing you could do.

01:57:18 Let's see, do something with this Marseille. Might be able to. You can drive him out of there, might be nice. Yeah, he's gonna get fired. Yep. That's unfortunate. Pesky fighters, pesky fighters. Almost there, almost in range. We're getting there.

01:57:50 Jesus. Ich denke, wir wollen die... Ich denke, wir können mit den Z-Booten schießen. Sehr schön. Okay. Oh, ihr... Ihr seid alle da unten. Yep. Oh, er war dark? Oh! Oh, hier geht's. Oh, warum ist er dark?

01:58:16 We are a business, so as awesome as it is to be extremely super...

01:58:33 Wunder-Generes, we do certainly have times where we are extremely super Wunder-Generes, like our anniversary and stuff, where we'll give out all kinds of stuff, really. And I mean, for the codes, I wouldn't be worried about all of them getting redeemed before you can type it fast enough. I don't think the number of redemption would be so small that it got snapped up in like 30 seconds. Yeah, it's, um, again, it's, we're trying something out.

01:59:01 And if it turns out that it's extremely popular and just, like, everybody's like, oh, yeah, let's do this thing, and it does end up drying up, the well dries up a little too quickly, then, you know, we can factor that in for the next time. Mostly I'm just trying to get the word out, because it's not just going to be for the English NA stream, it's going to be for all the strims. So you might watch this English stream.

01:59:28 Und dann kann man den EU-Englisch-Stream auch sehen, weil es da viele kicken Leute gibt. Und das ist super cool. Oh, ich sollte die animieren, um es schneller zu gehen. Es ist aber auch ein Mecklenburg an dieser Seite. Es ist vielleicht einer der größten Mecklenburg-Battleship für ein Super Light Cruiser.

01:59:53 So much AA on top of itself.

02:00:24 Not everything will be for everyone, but if you're present and ready, it's more than enough time. It should be. That is the idea.

02:00:33 Control-Copy, Control-Paste. Just don't tell anyone it's a secret. Well, I do intend to put it on screen, so it's not going to be something necessarily posted in the chat, per se. It'll be on screen. I assume people will start spamming it in chat. That is true. There will very likely be wondrously helpful people that are going to actually do that, but that's not the intention from our end.

02:01:03 Hey, Mecklenburg got torped. I think it's time to start moving north here, since there's not much else to shoot here. Good morning from Japan. Bright and early there, I would expect. Do I run the A captain perk on Austin? I actually don't think I do, although it's not a bad idea.

02:01:24 Reload burst 40% faster when AA is shooting. I think it's actually 50. 50 on cruisers. 40% is for battleships. It's a 50% reload. Pesky Jaeger is spawning me. I think he's like up here. How's your damage farming going, Eskons? I'm at 127. Resources kind of used up.

02:01:49 Ich denke, mein höchst Spiel in Midway war 3.15, aber das war auch wenn ich sehr religiösslich war. So... Das ist, ich meine... ...helpful. Hey, da sind die Agrotorps, es wäre mir safe für mich zu turnen. Squeeche! Ich schiebe hier die End-Seite.

02:02:15 Ist das ein Akizuki in B? Ich glaube es hat zu sein, right? Um, well. Ich habe es angefangen. So, ja, ich glaube so. Okay, ich werde nicht dropen.

02:02:31 ...which would force him to be on a line. I'm going to continue through to attack a larger target. This is not how I normally play. Wisconsin is learning the ways of damage farming. I mean, I'm aware of all this. I just choose not to do it because it's not... ...it's not my style of play. Oh, is that taken? No, it was too far back. That's a pretty cool shot. Jaeger is still trying toward me.

02:03:00 Ich werde den NC hier nicht die zu ihm. Wenn ich mich noch etwas zu tun habe, kann ich sehen. Das ist ein Gnarly-Hit. Ich bin mir geblieben, ich bin mir geblieben. Ich bin all meine Schnells.

02:03:25 I tend to treat the game like a puzzle. And I like looking for influence plays. Are you... Oh, you... Yeah, I think we have the backy here. He has an Austin on him. He's not going to be around for very long. Jaeger's almost gone. Yep, he took a lot of damage earlier on. I think he probably goes down to our team here. The Oregano is kicking out with 42. Jaeger's done. Alright.

02:03:57 Can't shoot the Oregon over this island. Sad. Go for the Catalina. North Carolina CLR would be the better choice. Well, maybe the Oregon's fighters actually goes down by the time I get there. I think that's the play.

02:04:18 You're shooting the organ. Yeah, I gotta do what I gotta do. Excuse me. I gotta farm a little bit. What is this? Get out of here. I might actually switch to that and see here since the organ's going behind the rod. There's enough for everybody. Enough damage to go around. Spicy hit. Alright. When AA is poor, you have to stick with ships that have good AA. It really depends on what you're trying to do.

02:04:48 um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um,

02:05:05 Oh, I didn't get the kill there. Oh, no! It depends on what CV you're against. If, for instance, you're against a CV that only attacks from the broadside, then you can control where the CV is going to attack from, because it's going to attack your broadside. So you could be in a place where you have a teammate that's like three to four kilometers away from you on that broadside, in which case they're probably not going to fly over the teammate.

02:05:34 just to get to you, and the teammate's still 4, 5, 6 kilometers away from you, so you have a lot of room to breathe. Or, you can make it so that your...

02:05:46 The good attack angle, the least time attack angle to you is maybe blocked by an island in a way that the CV is not going to be able to interact well with, like skip bombs or whatever. So if it was going to attack you, you'd have to fly around to come in from behind, which means it just adds an additional 10, 15, 20 seconds to the flight time, which again, CVs tend to want to least time. They don't necessarily want to go on the scenic route just to line up the perfect drop. There are some that will do it. They will commit.

02:06:14 They will spend as long as it takes to find that angle. But most don't. Most are just gonna go in and strike. Yep. It's really all about making yourself like the most annoying of a target possible. And usually people will just go for the easy targets. Best thing you can do is if you know how CVs work, if you know how the planes work, then you can go, oh. Once you know how annoying it is to strike people who are doing annoying things. Also that. It gets a little bit easier to be the one doing the annoying thing. You can pretty quickly identify.

02:06:42 Oh, okay, he knows what's up. Alright, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go strike somebody who's clueless. I'd rather strike the clueless people.

02:06:50 So, I think this game will... Should go our way. I think we'll have all the caps here shortly. We don't have too much HP left. I mean, to be real, it's the same thing in a surface ship. Like, if you're taking shots at a ship... Ah, it's Juke. He's doing the stop, stop, start, stop, start, Juke. Juke, again, Jesus. Okay, screw it. You just pick the next target, you shoot at him. He's more flat-footed, the shells land, you do the thing. That's why I like battleships, they can't dodge.

02:07:17 Es ist 6.57 Uhr. Ich denke, das Spiel ist um...

02:07:46 Heading to a happy ending. You don't think they're gonna pull it out? I don't know. I don't know if they're gonna clutch this one. Four and four caps, 90 points to go. The Shinada was able to take me out, so I mean, he's capable of doing anything. He's working on the Ipiranga right now. Yeah, Ipiranga might go down here. Nope. Gets clunked. Well, he's got a follow-up strike. Although he's not turning around. He's gonna go for the Montana. What?

02:08:09 Was sacrilege ist das? Well, okay, die Korong ist... Der Maximum Efficiency Damage Farming ist es. Es gibt weniger Zeit, um zu fliegen zu den Montanen. Ich weiß, was er. Er ist in der Spiel, um es zu extracken.

02:08:21 I think you told me once a long time ago, before you joined Wargaming or whatever, it's like, within the first six minutes, hmm, nah, this isn't happening, and then you just try to go for 200k or something. Yep, you gotta identify the losing games. You win some, you lose some. Well, you can't lose them all, but you definitely, it sucks to give up, you know, it sucks to be like, well, I mean, some are, you just, you can't.

02:08:47 Es ist ein Avalanchen. Du hast die 2 da. Ich habe die 2 da. Ich habe die 2 da. Ich habe die 2 da. Ich habe die 2 da. Ich habe die 2 da. Ich habe die 2 da. Ich habe die 2 da. Ich habe die 2 da. Ich habe die 2 da. Ich habe die 2 da.

02:09:12 Das ist so boring. Und ich habe gesagt, congratulations, you're not normal. Also, I think it's genuinely a lot easier to have the huge games when you're solo versus when you're dibs. Just because having another very competent player with you, and also if they're playing the same flank as you, there's just not enough performance to go around to get two E's usually from the same spot. Unless it's a really exceptional game, then maybe. Alright, well, I believe we have one minute left.

02:09:40 I believe we're going to be raiding Mini Hannibal. Yep. His wife said that we could raid him. Yep. His baby was born recently, wasn't she? Oh, yeah. So he recently has a new child in his life. So give him some love. Maybe you get to see the little one. Rawr. Thanks for time tonight. Yeehaw. Yeah, it was fun. Thanks for hanging out. Thanks for being with us. Yep. Appreciate everybody. We'll see you guys next week on the next weekly stream. Until then, have a good one. Rawr. Where's the button? Where's the button? No.
