Is absolute garbage. Completely random. No ability have any strategy other than stay bunched. Pointless to shoot missiles as they get shot down 80% of the time. I wouldn’t play this crap if it wasn’t for steel.

I’ve got 7 losses in a row in standard today. Finished in the top 2 every match. How do some many players manage to die in 60-90 seconds at the start of a game? One match I turned my Georgia from B spawn and by the time I got to C spawn we already lost the only DD and a cruiser. I didn’t even fire a shot because no one was spotted

How is that even possible with a supposed 50/50 chance. No matter how I play. 7 straight losses. Almost 2 hours of wasted time trying to get the steel.

I have checked everything I know to check and reset my router. Game doesn’t crash but firing on other ships is getting impossible some games. After 5 years, I’m about ready just to quit. Sent in a ticket just to see what WG might say because it’s only WOWL I have a problem with. Anyone else have any success fixing this?

Marblehead is in the add ons section for $10 USD or 6250 doubloons. I’ve had this ship about as long as I’ve been playing and it’s my most played standard ship at almost 400 games. It’s fantastic if you like cruisers. One premium that I would recommend if you are wanting a premium cruiser. Rarely has been available for purchase.

Got the Osborne in a crate. Only played a couple games so far but this gimmick radar isn’t as useful as it sounds. Runs constantly on the mini map but you are having to take your eyes off the game to watch the mini map (it just blips so you can miss it) and it’s so small it’s hard to see up in the corner.
The ship themselves aren’t that great. Slower reload. Mediocre concealment.
Try them out. Might suit someone else’s play style better than mine but I prefer the traditional US DD so far.

I get just as frustrated with ranked gameplay as anyone and I’m no expert but I’ve found a few things that have helped me to complete 5 of the last 6 without too much frustration.

1. AP focused cruisers. Have had a lot of success with these. I’ve got an 18-6 record with the Elephant (75%) and 5-0 with the Hampshire in ranked. Doesn’t have to be these ships but any AP focused cruisers have done well. Keep moving. Build into AP damage and reload.

2. For North America players, I have a much better record of success playing early in the morning (6-8AM CST). My guess is more Euro players and less Americans. The afternoons are straight up trash. This morning I rolled off 8 wins in a row to finish.

3. Change it up. Doesn’t matter which ship anyone tells you is great, play those you feel strongest in. Cruisers have been great for me but if you feel best in a BB then so be it. I started out in the Rodney but went 0-2 then switched to cruisers and it went great.

Good luck, captains.

Mark is essentially the control experiment. He’s basically the same person innie and outie while Helly and Gemma are opposites. Outie Mark had this incredible relationship with Gemma while innie Mark only sees someone methodical and stale. Outie Helly is ruthless and vindictive while innie Helly is caring and a great friend. This made the choices for Mark so fascinating in the last episode. Trying to get the best side of each of them. Incredibly well written show. One of the few shows where I actually really cared about every character even Milkshake after you see the pressure and stress he’s enduring to be a “good” employee. Wonderful job humanizing all the characters at different points over the seasons.

Ranked. Up 4 ships to 3. Points lead. We have both DDs. I killed the other 2 on the red team. One DD decides to yolo against 2 BBs and gets yeeted and misses all his torps. The other DD sits on the edge of the red team cap (only 2 caps in the game) and torp from 30 miles out never capturing the base. We lose. They could’ve rode around on a pleasure cruise and we would’ve won.
