Brawls these days

[Sambo_Cigars]

Just one sad example of about 10 brawls I entered in today. Notice the Hipper and the Akizuki (player has rank 8 in the silver league (can you believe it)). The Hipper is a formidable brawler, imagine if he went into the cap with me and if the Akizuki tried to ambush one of the ships in the other team. Sadly, I see Amalfi's, Charles Martel's etc. running to the border or a corner of the map to spam HE from there. I accept that it is like this in Random and even Ranked mode but why must they come into brawls to defecate on the very premise of this mode?

Because they got tired of playing cv's most likely.

My take is that any Game mode in this game today with less players count than Randoms (12 Vs 12) is pure ..... Sheeeeeeit! ! ! Why? Because the playerbase is unfortunately quite sheeeit and thats why WG feels the need to release the more broken/OP/Unbalanced class/ships/line there is right now so even those who have ZERO interest in learning to play this game can get themselves a Libertad .... or a CV .... or a Sub ... so they can rule the games with zero skill.

I faced a Libertad in my Missouri today ..... and I think I shown my daily games in Missouri in the "Greatest game of today"- thread. And of course he killed me ..... but he really didn't ... because looking at the post battle screen it was actually the AI that killed me" ... because 90 % of the damage from him was from secondaries ....  

Is it a strange coincident that WG releases this OP/Un-balanced line right now ...? Or is this the future of this game where skill and experience has ZERO value .....? Just Gimmicks and AI/NPC?

So NOTHING could get me to venture into "Ranked" or Clanbattles or "Brawls" at this point of the game .... for some reason ... Randoms ... the shitshow it is ... is probably where skill matters most .... which isn't a good thing for this game.

In Randoms you probably get 3-4-5 clueless players at T10  .... in Brawls its 66% of you're team ... in "Ranked" its probably 60-70% of you're teams ... so Randoms it is... (most skilled players CAN carry 3-4 really crap ones) 

What is "Brawls" with Libertad or any of the other Ran Americans? Parking the ship in center circle and then going to make a cup of tea and then come back and see that AI secondaries has killed all 3 opponents?

I respectfully disagree.  I picked up my rewards in bronze and silver, finished up my ranked battles expert: elite emblem, had fun on ships across different classes.  Kronshtadt is a blast.  Plenty of secondary ships that are easy to farm, they are predictable and easy to keep just outside their effective range.

100% Agree. I just saw a random T5/T6 with just 9 vs 9. These battle #s are, as you say, pure ...... Sheeeeit!

Is that on US or EU? I cant remember seeing this on EU but probably possible during odd hours, but I heard from many US streamers that this is happening quite often on that server.

I have had 9 vs 9 and even 5 vs 5 on EU at late night, very early morning.

For me, it was US server around 8pm pacific coast time - there was still around 9500 players on &, so, was surprising to see a 9 vs 9 PvP (I barely ever see this) 😶
