I tried warshipstoday but it only gives the options of yesterday,7 days and much longer periods.I can't log into the game due to server issues.

Ok,taking the 7 days as an option,my WR is 50% over 24 battles with a WTR of 838. I was going to do ranked tonight but we have server problems. Ah well,it probably saved me a little tantrum or two!

I've got 1 day, 7,30, 90, and all time stats showing. Which server are you on, Chucky? And, what is your in game name? I'll see if I can pull your stats up.

After a little break over the weekend I've just managed to get to rank 13 but I'm not sure it's worth the frustration and raised BP to continue.

One ranked battle this afternoon included one against a team that had a DD that committed suicide early on and an afk Fiji yet we still lost. Luckily I came top (it wasn't difficult with that team) so no star lost.

I am still a bit leery of trying ranked without a very high ranked captain to use in this event. It's ironic that some in a pub match,that show high rankings from the ranked fights, seem to occasionally not fare very well in the pub matches that would support their higher rankings from ranked battles. This gives me hope that all that play are not some uber sharp WoWs players, a category I fall into as well. So, perhgaps when the next one comes along, I will indeed have the maxed out captain I need to be a bit more successful.

Good to see many of the SimHQ crew faring quite well in ranked battles though. Congrats fellow SimHQ'ers.

Trust me,ranked isn't full of uber sharp players,after all I'm in there smile

You should give it a go.My Fiji captain only has around 10 points,my Gneisenau around the same and they are doing ok. The only reason I don't play my 18 point Atlanta is that it's not the best ship for the job.

LOL Chucky! What's your WoWs screen name? I make sure to add you to my list as well. Actually, I guess that's only possible if either you're on the NA server or I migrate to the EU server. I'll add you nonetheless and see if it shows up.

I'm on EU. British_Cruiser is my nick.

Just checked,my ranked win rate for season 6 is now 61% (unicum) but honestly my PR shows my skill level in its true colours @ 950 (below average) There have been more than a few games where I thanked my team for the carry.

I think it's just my style of play that lets me down,I like to get stuck in rather than snipe,plus I prefer to play 'squishy' cruisers a lot.

Now at rank 11. I'll work on it again after the weekend.

Chucky, in my opinion, your skill level just means you have additional things that call into your life too. Not saying those with a much higher PR are without lives, but some of those players have huge amounts of time spent playing and spend quite a bit of time dedicated to getting their stats in the higher rankings. Though I play a decent amount and have been with them since beta, I play more for the free XP to grind out my next ship and make goofy mistakes quite often....Bohemond will testify to that.

But, you've engaged in Ranked and are doing quite well. Hats off to you my friend. Now, I am curious if I play on the EU server, if I start as a new player or just a matter of selecting the appropriate server. Admittedly, always played NA servers. I have a slow week at work this week, so may be able to play around with the various servers. Can I assume you use the SimHQ TS for comms?

I'm not sure how the server thing works but I do know I once tried to connect to the NA server by accident and it wouldn't let me so I'm guessing a new account is required. I've never used the SimHQ TS.

My skill level doesn't worry me at all,I'm not looking to improve. I have fun (mostly) and that's about it. I should say I'm retired so time is never an issue when it comes to gaming although will power does.

In MP games I seem to have a level I can achieve and that's it. I can't get better and I'm fine with that. I can only watch with respect players like Flamu and his ilk and think 'I wish'.

Chucky, like you I'm just in it for fun. At the moment this is my go to game. When I have some time to play, it's WOW. I think its a blast. But I suck, and also, like you, I don't care. But I've had evenings where I got two or three kills and was the last guy standing, so occasionally I do something right.
Also, like you, I'm retired. And ALSO like you, I'm a cruiser man. Just got the Leander. Damn, I was glad to get out of that Emerald.
Enjoy Destroyers, too. I have the Farragut, and just decided to jump into the German destroyer line. That little V-25 is a HOOT! Like a little PT boat.
Fun game. I really enjoy it.

Pooch,are we brothers? smile

The Leander is where it gets better.The Fiji is another nice step up again and is a popular ship to take into season 6 ranked. I've yet to try the German DD's.

Hit 10 and think I'm gonna stop there. Rewards drop off to special consumables and all I want is flags.

Rank 9. Not 10

Am I missing something?

In one of the Challenges you can win a crate by playing in a 'Ranked Battle' but the requirement is a tier V ship??

It's quite telling that a thread about a very "lite" naval game is the most active thread on the Naval Forums right now.

Panzer,if only there was something else that could hold my interest.

Lots here I'm sure want a modern day TF1942 and we just won't get it.

Say what you like about WoWs,it's a great looking game,has great support and I can't see interest in it waning any time soon. It's just a pity there isn't a game mode that is more realistic.
