Fun fact the Kirov at tier 5 should have the exact same guns that the Donskoi gets but I guess WG.net is not up for that.

Not at all. It is a bad ship.

Too bad that the Baltimore can't really do anything in a world where there are usually 5 battleships per side.

Here's the thing. I'm hovering around 65% win rate solo by playing tier 5-8 cruisers only/mostly. My WTR is around 1700. In Autism's case, he's hovering 68% in low tier destroyers but is pulling 1800-1900 WTR. Why such a disparity? Because you can whore easy kills in low tier destroyers while not winning proportionally as much. It's also the same with battleship-heavy gameplay. Lots of useless damage and not enough win rate to back it up. Weighing W/R by 20% only is imho stupid, because it creates this mentality that damage farming is more benefitial to oneself than winning, and thus you're indirectly discouraging aggressive/bold gameplay. I also just noticed that my overall solo Gnevny stats are way better than his (75% WR & 45k dmg vs 62% & 55k) but guess who's rewarded with a higher WTR. IN SOLO PLAY. And the list keeps growing. You know, given that I suppose you can separate division vs solo stats (including win ratio), I suppose you could measure solo win ratio higher than divisioned win ratio as a proper measure of skill? For the uneducated folk (including some "highly skilled players") that keep saying that you can't influence winning and all that stuff. tl;dr I can win more reliably while doing slightly less damage farming than superior players (according to WTRating) in solo play, yet I'm penalized by winning.

The Hipper is the absolute bullshit cruiser of high tiers, if only because you can't penetrate it bow on and it seemingly does not have citadels.

Desperado212 has been insisting me for a whole week that he is, indeed, the best player of WoWS and I should shut up and suck his dick (more or less verbatim).

In my experience, having played this game since CBT (officially since Alpha but what do you know), this rating rewards campers, snipers and game stallers (DDs who spend the day capping/uncapping without doing anything else). The mere existence of such a rating creates this sort of behaviour, as well. I personally still haven't run into a single player (other than Cat_On_Board, maybe) whom had a higher WTR than me and was superior in any way. One glaring effect of this is that the major offenders of WTR whoring do absolutely terrible in ranked, compared to their solo play. The one correlation I have seen is that higher WTR correlates to higher survival ratios, but not to higher win ratios at all. Then again, I'm just incredibly salty that the game has become one big joke. Sources: I beat AutismSpeaks yesterday as players of the day (referenced by WTRating) by using my New Orleans only, while he was whoring around in tier 7 destroyers. Take that.

not until they deliver on their promise to give us a reward ship.

I THOUGHT WE WERE GETTING A SHIP REWARD????

I use Aslain's because vanilla WoWS blows in many ways.

I don't know, then. Also lol at people who think average damage means shit in WoWS atm.

how are you guys losing so much?

Kiev is pure garbage, ugh, I want a Polish destroyer, they look nice.
