How do you grind top tier battleships? rant

Ive been playing the brits, especially the rodney that I have a talisman for

I feel completely hopeless and targetting other battleships gives barely any score and takes forever to fucking kill them. Its impossible to ammo rack stuff with the rodney for example, as it is really inaccurate (unless im bad, but i played enough of other ships to think this). I dont expect an ammo rack for every ship I engage but I get one for every 3 games of RB if im lucky)

Also I can kill 300 crew of an enemy battleship in a 10 minute brawl where we cant do shit to each other and then have some random or a bot in a helgoland get a lucky ammo rack and I dont even get an assist? What the fuck? I love getting 150 score in a 15 minute long fight at 15km!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im getting really fed up with trying to grind battleships as it is exhausting and it doesnt feel rewarding AT ALL, but yet i still do it because i simply love them for what they are visually and historically

Also I got back into naval from a really long WT break, Im only getting the big circle cap point maps and its so fucking infuriating getting targetted by a chinese zerg of 3 friends in soyuzes where I cant do shit!!

Im just wondering if theres any strategy to this or just brute force it, I usually just target BOT light cruisers or BBs that are squishy but that requires luck most of the time. Also Id love to play enduring but the only map I can play is port moresby as the others are too big and not worth playing if you arent in the obliberators that are russian paper ships or the japanese ones, plus praying that you dont get an uptier....

Asking for advice about grinding

So I kinda got back into the game after a long break, now they have added the enduring confrontation modes

I was until now playing a lot of enduring RB as the UK (I kinda suffer) but figured a way to just dodge bad lobbies (bad maps or uptiers) and managed to get 110K rp game that took 3 hours, which I would say is not bad at all considering a had a stock warspite

but now I realized theres also enduring arcade battles, im asking if its as good and more braindead than rb or that playing regular battles is still the most efficient way to grind.. i honestly dont know and appreciate ANY tips to farm efficiently

also i find it very hard to make SL on enduring unless you are in a premium ship (I dont have any for the brits, only talisman for rodney)

Shotbolt shenanigans followup (DMG LOG + CLIP) lol

Two games ago I made a post about the shotbolt bug to prove a point, now it happened again WITH the damage log as I thought I traded with a guy but I didnt

just to prove a point for my useless imaginary reddit points even tho i barely use this app lmao

u/rudlyn — 1 month ago

To everyone who said I was lying about shotbolts not working yesterday and that damage log wasnt enough

apparently Im just bad and cant hit my shots so I make rant posts about shotbolts not working hoping they do something about them

I then killed myself after talkign to the last guy so I can actually check the damage log but it wasnt there because I did a bunch of healing actions in between, if for some reason u want to see that aswell tell me but I cant see a reason why

Im just pissed that a lot of people in this community just refuse to believe this game has problems like this that have been in the game for fucking YEARS

EDIT: FOLLOWUP POST with another case of this bug AND damage stats https://www.reddit.com/r/HuntShowdown/comments/1w6xd5p/shotbolt_shenanigans_followup_dmg_log_clip_lol/

Can we fix shotbolt already ffs?

Been playing bounty clash all day to get better with the crossbow and no joke around 33% of my succesful hits ended up like this and its getting really fucking tiring holy shit

for example this guy was LOOKING AT ME STANDING STILL IN AN OPEN FIELD

i wish i had a clip but i dont..

What is the reasoning behind Crytek not adding a stricter region lock?

With videos from Rachta being made about this issue, and EU or US servers being plagued with chinese teams

The current region lock only disallows you the furthest server???? You can still join asia and play with 250 ping if you are from the eu lol

If you are playing with friends across the world just allows us to use either theirs or our own servers, or in that specific case just find a server that would give both players the same ping.. idk i guess i want too much from them lol

Where the hell is capturing tramplers

They said its gonna be back in a week, its gonna be like 3 now

Solos are literally unplayable, especially on storm dive

everybody is fucking teaming by sniping the same lobbies, with this being the only good counter to these rats abusing this

I have genuinely zero idea how this is supposed to prevent cheaters because they can still steal your shit, teleport and grief you, it just takes longer... its not like it FUCKING MATTERS BECAUSE YOU LOST ANYWAY

I know this is a rant but im sick of playing this game alone only to be teamed on with zero counterplay, and this being my favourite game mechanic aswell...

Teammates prioritizing kills over revives

I am wondering if you have teammates or friends with this same mentality

I always try to force my friends to go for revives instead of kills, simply because it is more safer than hitting a good clip

Yes, in some cases you cant revive and have to fight them, like if the enemies are over your dead body

But in most cases, a teammate can necro or go for the revive, he doesnt and instead tries to kill of the remaining enemies if they are close enough
This does work like half the time as yes, they kill the opponents but the other half they wont, in which I think having a bigger manpower is way more important than hitting a nice clip

I have this issue with a lot of buddies I play with (also im not trying to say i die all the time, its for other dead teammates aswell or when i watch them play) and im wondering, am I in the wrong here or not? Any other people with the same issue? (im also in six star lobbies aswell)

Spawning RIGHT NEXT to enemy teams in trios

i have been trying to play trios for 2 days now with my friends and we only spawned next to enemy teams that have killed us every single time/

I am not complaining because I died, i am complaining because literally every game ive had we fought at the first compound we spawned at. Are we just incredibly unlucky or is the game bugged?

Very fun solo storm dive experience!!!

Friends on discord teaming up on storm dive so they can shit on the entire lobby is so fun!!

these two dudes had the SAME EXACT TRAMPLER with the same exact guns, chasing the whole lobby and killing it in the process

also had a blocked captains quarters by storage so you cant capture it (i know it doesnt work at the moment but it still is an issue...)

How are we still tolerating these servers

I really dont want this game to die but we have big streamers playing this game, getting a lot of new players for this game only for them to be welcomed with this...

I dont wanna hear "its early access, you should expect it" bruh, i dont care about the horrible hit register, i dont care about the duping, i dont care about the plethora of other bugs... just make this game fuckign PLAYABLE so you get your loot and dont waste hours of your time only for these shit ass servers to kill this game off, which i think they will if it keeps going on

I dont understand how they have done server slams, several tests, and still the servers are absolutely shit

people blocking off their captains cabin with storage or stairs in solo

as title stands, makes it literally impossible to raid anyone in solos if people do it, unless u have an abudance of C4 to destroy the whole compartment...

This game has genuinely the worst hitreg of all games I have ever played

Trying to raid people in this game is a literal dice roll, zero fucking skill involved... if you wanna run a shotgun the inertia just makes bullets phase trough your enemies or you dont deal any damage to them, while enemies can one tap you if they are the ones to get lucky that game.

I am sick of winning a fight only for my guns to stop working because the trampler im fighting on is moving and the bullets just fly wherever the fuck they want

my previous post has some great evidence of this awesome hitreg

yes i just died to it again and lost my stuff thats why im crying here lol

I know its early access.... but come on

Great example of this games hit reg, I died to him after he respawned btw because i couldnt kill him with the shotgun like in this clip and he beat me to death with his fists

This launch is probably on par with Tarkovs 1.0 at this point...

1-2h eta after launch, to get delayed again, to get another delay with a countdown, to this delay.

i hope theres more honestly

edit: yeah another and i hope the final countdown showed up...

Do NOT add GEAR SCORE

EDIT: in the current state of the game, its a necessity but it DOESNT HAVE TO BE

I just found out they want to add this system into the game, I heavily disagree with it

I understand getting absolutely crapped on by advanced tramplers while you are in your default one, but a simple balancing fix so the basekit ones would be a little faster or something would be better imho..

A huge thrill for me is not really knowing what you are facing, and seeing something big running towards you while im in something more underpowered makes me wanna run, but the current system with the same speed tramplers pretty much every time just makes this impossible, with the victor being the team with more power rods..

Defeating these big tramplers while being in something more underpowered would be great too, idk i just dont see the appeal of making it balanced in this way, when theres so many other ways to make it balanced and FUN

There might be issues, but its definitely better than knowing you are fighting everyone of the same level no matter how much you grinded the game or havent at all

Playing any 5.45 ak in arena is not a good experience [Arena]

So I found out you can grind the ak-50 in arena, so I tried doing just that. I have had a better time with the T5000 than the damn ak74n, I am not the greatest PvPer but its just horrible compared to literally everything else, every game you meet someone playing an NL or Model 1 and having to face these players just leads to certain death, yes you can hit headshots but you can do that with every gun + the ak is very hard to control and has extremely shit firerate, with the other variants just killing you way faster with their TTKs
skill issue i guess

Long arena wait times [Arena]

What do you mean "waiting for players for almost 7 minutes EACH GAME, this is probably even worse than live pvp at this point, for a single game of last hero lol
