@@ashleighelizabeth5916 Yeah. As if like when irl Bismarck got damaged and turning in circle and sent its last message, reply would be "Get Back!" and "idiot" after it gets rekt by a lot of British ships.
@@ashleighelizabeth5916well if you push alone, you are pretty much an idiot. Need teammates to push with you. Also need to know when to stop the push and where to go next. So often you see a successful cap push but they don't stop and continue to push spawn. That's just asking to die. Either hold the cap or push the next cap. Also you must try to isolate the amount of ships able to shoot at you using islands if possible. A good push has checkpoints to stop and recollect/heal
Ranked is rage inducing but so is Random and since there are fewer ships on the map in Ranked I have a better chance of having significant impact on the battle. Additionally Ranked gives me not only steel rewards but doubloons and for somebody that spends at most about $30 a year those Doubloons Rewards during each sprint are priceless to me. If I want not stressful play I will go to Ops, Brawls, or Asymmetrical matches. Although sometimes even that can be annoying if you have really terrible teammates....
Mountbatten I run into my div mate all the time good times no worries, another phenomenal performance by you sir thank you for uploading and working so hard to edit which does take a lot of work to do! Happy winter solstice and holidays to you and your family sir :)
Ranked is absolutely insane... and not in a good way. Tbh Im not the world's best player (55% winrate) but maaan... DDs who somehow are not aware that german ships have 6km hydro, BBs that either yolo and die in 2 minutes (especially Libertads and Schlieffens) or stay 20 km away shooting HE, it truly is brain aneurysm inducing experience. I got stuck in silver and just gave up, not worth my time. P.S: In order to not just bitch and complain and be positive, here is some basic advice for anyone playing ranked: 1. Pick your ship carefully. No, Jager is not a good pick. No, Shima is not a good pick. No, Ibuki is not a good pick. 2. If you take a BB, try to find a balance between yolo and staying aaaaall the waaaay back doing nothing. 3. Flanking doesn't work. These are fast battles, and if you decide to take your ship all the way around that big island what you're actually doing is removing your gun from the first 5 minutes of the game. 4. There are 3 caps in game. One that is safe for both teams and third one that is contested. If you're the only DD in your team, dont go for the safe cap. Also, just ignoring the contested cap at start and "all push safe cap and then to the enemy safe cap" strategy doesn't work 90% of the time. 5. If you're playing a carrier, ffs don't be cheap with those fighter planes, use them and use them often. I mean, what are you saving them for? 6. Cruisers are really hard to play in this mode. Don't play them unless you're sure you know what you're doing. Also, if you're playing a smoke cruiser, position yourself in such a way that someone can spot for you. If you go somewhere alone, ok you spot the enemy, you smoke up... and they go invisible because there is nobody to spot them. Congrats, you just killed yourself. 7. Don't play subs in ranked. Just don't.
good BBs for ranked are all the ones that have solid armor, and are effective at med and close range, so Monty line, Prem US "Line", Brick, Ki and Iwami are solid. russian BBs are also good. also columbo. and it is so important that you shoot the DD during the early game DD engagements, and set up crossfires with your other BBs dont clump together. one(preferably the faster one) goes far on the flank of the contested cap, and the other should stay closer to the middle of the map.
In the ABC scenario where B & C are close to each other one near your team the other near enemy team i think going to the furthest one is a mistake! I find taken your own then going to the one nearest the enemy spawn is best tactic! Usually the enemy will send most of its fleet to the A meaning they are travelling far! This leaves them exposed and its easier to defend the B & C This has worked most of the time if everyone co ops so i disagree with you on that one! The amount of DDs i see destroyed going to the The A solo every time!
It's crazy but it's better than Random because A.) with a smaller team you can possibly have a greater impact on the match and B.) wins give you steel and doubloons. For those two reasons it's almost all I play when playing against humans. 1. I agree with picking your ship wisely especially if you are bringing a premium. I understand if you are grinding or a tier 8 or have limited options in the tech line but if you bring a useless premium to Ranked you are either an id!ot or a d!ick. 2. Just don't sit your @ss at the back in a BB if you are in Ranked and honestly don't bring a sniper to ranked unless you don't have any other options in your port. 3. Flanking CAN work in very specific circumstances or very specific maps. Most of the time it doesn't because players don't know when and where to use it. 4. THIS THIS THIS! DDs that go to the strong side cap instead of the weak side cap make me want to rip my hair out. So do teams that overload the strong side cap and then sit there and mill about instead of pushing on to the enemy cap. Results end up with the red team getting the weak side cap their strong side cap and then pushing down from both directions on your team as each player moves forward one at a time to be destroyed. DDs that leave you blind at the contested cap are absolutely worse than useless. 5. How about just don't bring f*cking CVs or subs to Ranked. Those classes are designed to work in a 12v12 format and were never balanced properly to be in Ranked. Leave the f*cking hybrids in port too. 6. Why do people insist on bringing non radar cruisers to ranked? OK I get that there are a few (a very few) non radar cruisers worth bringing and I understand the grinding/lack of options issue. But really I had a Hampshire on a team a couple of weeks ago .... like WTF dude? 7. Fully agree about subs. Let me add a few of my own. DON'T CROWD YOUR teammates. Give them room to maneuver to avoid incoming fire, incoming torps and islands. You aren't the only f*cking ship running around the map! Don't leave your teammates hung out to dry. You might not agree with the strategy they've chosen but hiding while they die isn't going to give you a better result. Don't bring a secondary battleship to ranked and then refuse to get close enough for your secondaries to work. I understand if you have to fall back in the face of overwhelming odds but it's likely that if you did somebody else dropped the ball supporting you. If you are going to treat Bismarck like a sniper battleship stay out of Ranked matches. And finally CAPS ARE EVERYTHING in Ranked. 90% of the time if your team controls 2 out of 3 caps you are going to win. So DON'T be a passive jackhole in a Ranked battle.
@@anielloliguori6312 sorry but no. The flaw in your idea is the idea that your team will cooperate in pushing the Red Team spawn cap. Most teams that try the strong side push strategy take the base cap and then just SIT there instead of pushing on to the enemy spawn cap. Meanwhile red team takes the weakside cap uncontested and is now in a position to flank your team. Even in those cases where you get a team that with you that will push the enemy cap a couple of well played enemy ships can usually delay your push down enough for the red team to both cap the weakside cap and catch you in flank as you push forward. Strong side pushes like you are suggesting almost always fail in Ranked matches and usually are only successful in Clan Battles with team chat and players that are all on the same page.
116k Hp in T8 GZ CV with only a handful of ships is a good score SLM, do not sell yourself short. More importantly were all the ribbons you got in helping your team to victory, i know you know this but i like your channel so much i wanted to say it for you 'You ARE a good CV player". :)
Every time I play ranked, I start to believe the conspiracy theories that WG does cook the MM to make sure whales get matched with unicums to fight us normal players
Not a conspiracy, its fact, and worse, WoW has programmed bots with human-like names to fight people that piss them off and make their gaming as bad as can be, so they quit playing.
@@RogueDemagogue fight against? Or be team mates? Poor AI coding in a bot might explain some of the window licking behavior from a few teams I've been grouped with.
@@irishwind1971 it's both, WoW can place crappy bots with you, on your team, programmed to ram you as you sail around, and place level 10 bots on the other side programmed to kill you and only you, until you're dead. I can sail to a point on the map and attract 10 ships from the red team and they can't see me. I was in a sub yesterday and 3 dd's were chasing me down across the map so I lead them straight to my CV that wasn't supporting me, there was zero chat the entire match until I got my CV killed, lol. Then the game managers decided to type shit to me, lol.
I think anyone under 50% WR in randoms shouldn't be allowed to play ranked. So many ppl with no games, just jumping into ranked, ruining it for everyone else.
I love how they allways say Get Back! at a time when it is impossible to go back anymore.
Don't forget the part where they call you an idiot after you die because you didn't magically transport away from danger.

Honestly I’d play more ranked than ransoms, smaller games and no uptiers is better for me. But yeah teammates always ruin the fun in any gamemode
Struggling in Silver rn... Sometimes i just wonder - how the f they found how to begin battle
Getting a kill with the subs gun is wicked😂💪!!!
12:50 that Kansas must have had a JATO strapped to his stern to out run those torps lol!

Hiya Lord, nice to be the here just as it is released!!
Can you please explain what you are talking about this Brian thing to us we have no clue what you’re talking about?
Keep poppin' those VitaminD pills, SLM! Feel better!
I think anyone under 50% WR in randoms shouldn't be allowed to play ranked. So many ppl with no games, just jumping into ranked, ruining it for everyone else.
WR is problematic as a gate for Ranked. There does need to be some kind of floor threshold IMO. Otherwise Ranked IS Randoms just with smaller teams.
@ wow! Exactly. Hadn’t thought of it like that haha
WR means nothing for randoms. I play FAR more reckless and gung ho in randoms than I do in ranked.
Playing cv and sub in ranked is fucked. Play that shit in randoms
