| Contests chat | |
| By: wows Date: May 23, 2023, 2:45 pm | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| Here we talk which contests we plan to do. | |
| Some general rules. | |
| 1. contest does not prove any opinions. For example if the TOP 6 | |
| contestant says that 2+2 is 5 then contestand TOP 4 can't say | |
| that TOP 6 is wrong because he has lower TOP result. The contest | |
| result has nothing to do with opinions humans have in their | |
| life. The contest does not measure knowledge very clearly but in | |
| a way yes. For example Who completes the Bronze with 200 batles | |
| usually don't have the small Knowledges and have slower fingers | |
| than those who compelte between 30-60 battles. But al lbetween | |
| 30-60 battles have usually equal knowledge, jsut some have | |
| perhaps quicker internet or thinner fingers etc, but they al | |
| llist the same amount of theoretical knowledge. So, if one | |
| really insist in measuring who is more smart, then there is no | |
| such, but some are skillful, quicker fingers etc- go ahead and | |
| enjoy that truth if you like. | |
| 2. you agree by saying " i agree" with the rules, including the | |
| previous point about opinions. | |
| 3. all participiants will get a prize. | |
| Example of the contest. Play games in Rankeds at day number 1 | |
| until you get Bronze Rank 1 aka Silver Rank 10. It takes between | |
| 15-50 battles usually. Provide screenshots that show the | |
| quantity of battles done o nthe 1st day. The TOP is formed by | |
| the quantity of battles. This is 1 example, we can do other | |
| examples. | |
| Register your self to the contest and forum. also isolated | |
| players can talk about it here adequately. | |

| In this topic we chat during the competition, and in the | |
| competition main topic we post results and have a TOP listing. | |
| I show you my budget and ship choice on the picture. | |
| If i get more credits somehow then i will buy out a T8 Japanese | |
| DD and use it. | |
| I don't use any premiums on the picture because those are not | |
| allowed. | |
| I don't use any signals but you may use if you have because | |
| those are allowed. | |
| I have a 20 skills Japanese premium captain and a 21 skills UK | |
| premium captain, plus few standard UK and Japanese 16-19 skills | |
| captains and 500 gold. So i try to move them with the inbudget | |
| 500 gold if needed later to T10 ships, T6-T8 have already | |
| captains in and ready. | |
| Which ship choices you have and which ships will you use? | |

| Playing a lower rank ship has an advantage to get more easily | |
| the Save the Star possibility because lower tier ships get more | |
| experience points than higher tier ships. | |
| So, maybe it is wiser to use T6 ships and not T7. What do you | |
| think? I don't even have any T7 ships in my choices but if you | |
| have then think about which is more efficient for you, R6 or T7. | |
| Also, if you have time then practice your T6 contest ships | |
| already today in Randoms. | |
| Can you predict how popular will be CVs in all 3 leagues? I | |
| think that T6 Cvs are very harmless and weak, so they won't be | |
| very popular, but maybe i am wrong, what do you predict? | |
| I still don't know which premiums will be popular in Bronze, | |
| what do you think? | |
| Even if you don't plan to take part of the contest and follow | |
| the rules, and play still with premiums, then you can still post | |
| your results to this topic. | |
| This is a general chat here, we talk everything related to that | |
| Rankeds season. | |

| It is an honor to compete on the 1st day because it has the most | |
| highest skill level. | |
| I have always seen much more skillful players on the 1st Bronze | |
| day and you can't experience that feature on next days/weeks | |
| anymore. I am lucky to have a day off tomorrow so i can enjoy | |
| the most difficult play, the more difficult the more accurate | |
| results you get to measure your skills. | |
| Like always the Day number 2 is impossible for silver league | |
| because not enough players. So we usually skip the 2nd day | |
| totally, but the day 3 is again good because it is difficult. | |
| And next days and weeks after that is easier again, but not so | |
| enjoyable therefore. | |
| A smart competitor who pay for TOP avoids those difficult days, | |
| but on the 2nd hand he doesn't get invaluable experience and | |
| accurate results. | |
| Obviously in 6 players MMs you dont use any too specialized | |
| ships like T8 Japanese DD Asashio which has only BB/CV torps and | |
| the weakest guns in T8 because you jsut don't have enough | |
| targets among 6 enemy players plus in Rankeds mostly guns | |
| matter, not torpedo DDs. Unless you are a very advanced player | |
| who enjoyes the most challenging ships. We should give a special | |
| prizes to those who manage to complete leagues with the current | |
| most inefficient ships. What do you think? | |

| Wows commnuity seems to suggest to buy Anti Detonation flags. | |
| They cost 2.4m credits to get 20 pieces. | |
| You need ca 50 battles to complete the Bronze league, so you can | |
| double the amount of credits to 5 million. | |
| Do you agree with Wows commnutiy that it is wise to buy those | |
| and get credits for those, or not? | |
| If you don't buy those then it means you disagree with Wows | |
| commnuity. It is totally fine to disagree with the debunked | |
| commnuity, i never buy any signals at all, i sell imemdiately. | |
| But what about you? | |

| i plan to donate my victory gold to the player that uses must | |
| difficult ships. Like german Elbing line ships or russian line | |
| ships. | |
| Do you agree that such donation is good? | |
| In my opinion it is good because i don't anyway like premium | |
| ships and i have enough ships already that i like. | |
| The only ship i want to have more is the T11 Japanese DD | |
| Yamagiri, but gold doesn't help to get it, only credits. | |
| Do you agree if we give 1 random contestant also a prize, like | |
| 5k gold, and we use a random lottery system to find out who that | |
| is? | |
| If you disagree then tell why. | |

| I started Bronze challenge right in the morning and made many | |
| breaks between, so it ended up at ca 6pm resulting ca 8h playing | |
| duration. | |
| At first i tried to use the UK T6 DD Icarus but i lost most | |
| battles and finished using it at the battle number 5. It just | |
| felt that such ship is not efficient in Tier 6-7. | |
| I moved to my last option which is T6 Japanese Hatsuharu which | |
| is the Kitakaze line ship, and i have there 21 points premium | |
| captain with radio, i somehow felt it is the right choice for | |
| such Tier 6-7 MM. In such low tiers like 6-7 everything is very | |
| slow, ships are slow and torps and guns are slow too, so it was | |
| quite difficult if you mostly play in T0. I saw few radar ships, | |
| many premiums, but i can't say which ship was really OP compared | |
| to others. In my opinion premium German T6 T-61 was quite | |
| overpowered, also premium T7 radar cruiser Atlanta and few | |
| similar radar ships, and that's it, even those were quite equal | |
| to standard ships, so i can't see much overpowered ships. The | |
| 1st day of Bronze have always quite strong players, so i enjoyed | |
| obviously to see decent opponents. | |
| Typically 3-3 splits, 3 to left and 3 to right, i saw few 2-4 | |
| splits, but never 1-5 or 0-6 splits. The maps were old known | |
| maps, nothing new to old players. | |
| Few totally wrong positioning, like going to a very long | |
| timewasting road behind rocks, few total yolo suicides, but in | |
| major part a very good quality and strong opponents, this is | |
| always so on the 1st Rankeds day, good difficult battles, strong | |
| Top playerbase. | |
| Very few battles had Cvs and subs, as i predicted those are so | |
| harmless, and specially harmless in T6. | |
| I didn't do any so called trolling etc, i jsut got 1 phone call | |
| during 1 battle which resulted to stop for 3 minutes and lose a | |
| battle, all other battles were good, with good internet, also | |
| the broken keyboard worked fine. | |
| I would skip using the Icarus totally now afterwords, but it is | |
| fine, you must test and tweak during first battles and decide | |
| your tactics. For me the Japanese DD was the best choice, i | |
| don't think UK Icarus is suitable for that T6-7 league, but at | |
| T8 it probably will be. | |
| I got credits and other stuff during the league compeltition and | |
| can buy now a Japanese T8 DD, or use the T9 Kita. | |
| I never went to easycaps, but i couldn't do any of my tactics | |
| (CV MM escort DDs, pair DDs, no team splits, etc) because there | |
| wasn't such possiblilities, i just stayed msotly i nthe subgroup | |
| of 3 ships, mostly i spotted, set smokes, torped, i couldn't | |
| almost ever use guns because those T6 Jap DD guns are so slow | |
| and weak. | |
| I think in T6-T7 battles just use a ship you feel comfortable | |
| in, obviously an advanced ship type would be my suggestion, but | |
| primitive types can do fine as well if you feel fine them them. | |
| My results are fine, they are always like that around TeamsWR | |
| 60%, i rememeber only 1 time i did at 70%. | |
| Obviously T8 Silver category will be more difficult because | |
| there you have more OP ships. | |
| 5+33 battles is my typical result, i always get around 40. | |

| Budget change during the Bronze challenge. | |
| From 500 gold to the 1100 gold, that means i can move 2 times | |
| captains now. | |
| That is why it rewards to play Rankeds compared to Randoms, you | |
| get Gold, Steel etc. Why to play Randoms at all? | |
| and if there is even a contest like here for Rankeds where ca | |
| 50k gold is given out, then what's the point to play Randoms at | |
| all? | |
| Is there any tactics etc you use in Randoms at all? No, there | |
| isn't. So, if you are not a total beginner and not grinding | |
| ships, then why you play that Randoms at all? | |
| Me and other debators i have seen here they totally ignore | |
| Randoms, they play mostly Rankeds, and after 6pm few Clanss. | |

| What do you think, should we make an additional prize pool for | |
| TOP 3 who first complete the leagues as well? | |
| Anyway i really suggest you take part from such competitions and | |
| this one as well, in my opinion it is much more interesting than | |
| to play Randoms chaotically. | |
| I try tomorrow evening to start Silver challenge and plan to | |
| finish during the weekend. | |
| Good luck everyone! | |

| In T8-9 the difficulty is radar cruisers, they have concealment | |
| and radar range almost equal, so one you spot them they turn | |
| radar on and you get some damage in. Usually not much damage but | |
| still you loose 30-50% of health which makes next DD duels | |
| difficult with such low Hp. Also radar+smoke Dds like Black are | |
| a big threat. Smaller threat are hydro Dds, mainly UK and German | |
| ones. The smallest risk is to get outspotted by a Dd. I believe | |
| I will try UK hydro Dd and a Japanese Dd. The tactics is to try | |
| to manage the mentioned risks. | |
| I don't ever go near easy caps so I often meet radars on | |
| difficult caps. If most ships go to easy cap then I join them of | |
| course, the group size of 3 is the minimum I stay with. | |
| Mostly I spot the difficult area or the middle area. | |
| Which tactics do you plan to do? | |
| Also I suggest take part from our competition, it is much more | |
| entertaining and you get a quite fair overview of your skills. I | |
| am generally on gold level player, but I don't complete the gold | |
| so easily. So if you want to grade my skills in 10 points range | |
| then I have ca 8/10 skill level, while those who can't complete | |
| Silver league are at around 6/10 skill level. It doesn't matter | |
| which TeamsWR you have in Randoms etc, only a ranking exam type | |
| competitions tell your skills. | |
| In my opinion if you manage to complete the Bronze then that is | |
| already a very strong skillet, in my opinion 70% ate not capable | |
| to complete it ever. | |
