Ode to St. Vincent, Part 2

How I wish battles like this happen way, way more often.

• Not one player scored below 700 Base XP
• 50% of the enemy team score at least 1,000 Base XP
• Battle duration was more than 16 minutes
• No AFKs
• No griefers
• No toxic chat

Just a good battle, one that was also economically productive.

These days, I often see teams with 2-3 players that sink in less than 5 minutes, scoring less than 500 Base XP.

I guess I was lucky the matchmaker created a good one.

Either a win or loss, these are very enjoyable games at least for me.  Of course, it is always preferable to be on the winning side 🤣.  Nice battle for both teams!

As rare a tooth in a hen, ofc. Sure, we all like close battles, well played by all. There used to be more of those in the early days of WoWS. Not anymore. Nice post.

Thanks. 

Most likely many good players have moved on to other games. My game's contact list contain plenty of good players I have personally encountered in Random Battles and 99% of them are inactive.

The sad reality of the churn business model...

Tragic.

This is just my personal experience, but my contact list became inactive fast when submarines and their shotguns were implemented by Wargaming. Before that, I was sure the majority of them are already logged in by the time I launch the game. Those were amazing days. Now, the list has been deafeningly quiet.
