Col_NASTY Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Started out BUMMED at the MM.. @OldSchoolGaming_Youtube We were just talking about the Jager a day or so ago here so I took her out. Just in time for a DOUBLE CV GAME😬 Was doubling back on the flank to cap and torp a few guys hunting me in the wrong direction.. I'm all alone on the flank.. Next, Both of the CVs start looking for me and find me in the cap. Dodging like crazy as they are cross dropping me non stop.. I'm spotted and taking fire from anything and everything in range😨 trying to finish in the cap before I die and I'm running for cover... Ran into BOTH CVS! Now they are both BIG MAD! I had no choice but to fight BOTH of them at point blank range with guns and torps , they split up ( smart ) and I just dodged , fired , dodged fired.. Next thing I knew One CV DEAD.. Launched my powderpuff torps at the other then BOOM I'm Dead.. As I am catching my breath I hear that wonderful sound! FLESHWOUND! 2 on 1 CVs and I got them both brawling in a JAGER! First double CV Kill for me in a DD! One CV Capt was cool about it and I got a GG,🫡 the other was BIG MAD...🤬 Tiny weak DD killed him in a straight up brawl.. He swore a bunch then called me a Coward 🤣 Even with the loss it was one of the most exciting games I have had in a week! I'm going to turn the replay into a Vid and keep it.. It's Insane! 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SureBridge Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 My favorite Jaeger game had me going guns hot on the CV which had decided to come in and cap because we were down to ~4 ships a side. Killed the CV with guns, then got the BB that tried to bully me with torps - I had been so busy shooting and dodging planes I hadn't fired the torps, which was a big surprise for the BB. 12 fluffy bunny torps *will* kill a half health BB, especially when they hit in staggered waves (and you get a lucky flood on the first and the last one) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see the game if you ever upload it. I recall the problem with CVs from the time I always played Yugumo - Viking style (TRB no smoke). It sucks when the CV harasses you alla game, but those games youre able to dodge it can be massive damage games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He swore a bunch then called me a Coward 🤣 Well played! As for the feedback, humans are an interesting lot. The GG you got from a mature player who recognized some exceptional play and provided feedback along those lines. The second player...well...it's human nature to get pissed when you get taken out like that. And when we get pissed...in the moment....we tend to lash out a bit. I'd bet after he cooled down...and got back to a calm state...he probably concluded the same as the first guy. Case in point...MYSELF. I hate it when our team gets totally owned...we just collapse in a heap of doo....the epitome of failure. And a red comes up in all chat and says GG. Now, I know that's just a common greeting...but in my seat, it's anything but a good game. It's a crap game and every knows it. And the GG almost sounds patronizing. About the only thing I feel is appropriate in all chat is for the loser to give a "well played" to the roll team. But again, mostly the GG and WP are just courtesy words not often reflective of actual events. They just have more meaning when coming from the losing team...or if it really was a close one (i.e., a truly GG)...either team. All said, let the "lash outs" roll off you back. Most of those are said in the heat of the moment common to human nature. Lastly, the older we get the more we are reflective on the lash...and lash in. Like "I F*** up!" I screwed up. Case in point...I don't DD often...but I do on occasion. T7 DD and I had the perfect run on a Nelson. Big fat BB at my mercy. He got one good salvo on me and he was MINE. Ten torps...nigh point blank...and one hit. WTH! Man...embarrassed, I was. [If you've seen the "A History of Violence" meme..."how did you **** that up"...yeah...that was me!!! LOL.]. Stick to BBs and CAs Soshi...you suck at DD. But I did top out on the loss...which might have been a win if I didn't totally screw the attack run on Nelson. But I digress. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iDuckman Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I think my most exciting game ever was a loss. The teams were neck and neck the whole batttle. It came down to me in my beloved witchy Salem and some dastardly crimson supervillain in a cursed Minotaur. Like gunfighters, we were face to face, shielded by some terrain. We knew the showdown would have to end in a rush. I was supremely confident because my girl out-gunned the beast, especially at close range. I started backing away so I could be assured of two salvos before he could close, but too late. When he came, it was like a burning train, all guns blazing! I was too close to terrain to turn to comb his torps, and my first salvo wounded but didn't kill him. Before sweet Salem could fire again, the fish found me. It was the matter of a second. The cheers from chat were almost enough to make up for Defeat. Almost.  3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure the "original gangster" Aysmmetric battles were players versus players with 'Bots filling-in here and there to complete the team-rosters. But, the developers have changed things for faster game-play match-making and less concern about who is going to play the low-tier ships compared with who will play the high-tier ships, in my opinion. I feel it is a fun mode that blends aspects of Co-op with some of the concerns present in other battle modes (such as positioning and not getting focus-fired-upon too much for one's own good). The Asymmetric bots seem to be aiming about as well as the usual Co-op bots. But, sometimes they retreat if damaged in Asymmetric, whereas in Co-op they'd continue to charge. Overall, I'm mostly satisfied with the current Asymmetric battles. Though, I wouldn't mind if the 'bots were to level-up a bit and become a little more clever about their play as a team. But, I suppose it is a work-in-progress. 🙂 Edited April 11 by Wolfswetpaws 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
