Unicum divs are brutal given the current state of the average playerbase.

[@rileychu4489]

this all you see anymore...sweaty try hard divs and total idiots. nothing special here...

[@milionST]

It is quite sad actually. Looking at belowaverage_potato's solo play, he is certainly not an unicum - he has barely blue stats and 56-57% WR. In divisions however, there's a force multiplier in action, as such guys as him have a trace of brain and can easily cover each other, and voila - you have ''unicums'' in droves and droves ruining the game even further with their never ending packs of three. I mean, I do understand their position - game is very frustrating to play by yourself (I know this because, well, I am a solo unicum player, EU server st_dasa), but it is just like with CVs and subs - by playing in such a way you are making the gaming experience even worse for the REAL average potato out there, as having one of these divs on either side by rule ends in a steamroll. I am really not sure why Jingles features such boring games, maybe the vids he gets are just getting more uneventful and there's not much to choose from?

[@Equalzer]

@@milionST Yeah if you are a "blunicum" divisioning is super attractive because you can force multiply with other good players and get a winrate boost of 10-15% which is a highly attractive proposition in and of itself. Also fun to play in good company 😉

[@milionST]

@@Equalzer I do agree with you. it is fun and all, but there's an elephant in the room we should discuss - skill based matchmaking WG categorically does not want to implement. It is beyond boring to have these divs either at yours or on the opposing side, as the outcome is obvious. I hate the steamrolls in randoms or ranked, they are not fun and are a waste of time. However, from time to time game will pitch on the opposing sides similar divisions such is this one, and THAT should be the norm. Honestly, I can easily hold my own against blunicums if (BIG IF) I get the same side spawn as them. However, if the blunicums are pitched against the noob flank, there is literally nothing l can do but watch one side crumble and the enemy flank closing in on you.

[@IIIJG52]

Can confirm, as one of thos players. the amount of hard carrying a good div can do is insane

[@Wolfeson28]

Lol, if they'd just waited a few more seconds before finishing off the Yamato, they could have scored the victory trifecta: friendly team hits 1000 points, enemy team hits 0 points, *and* killing the last enemy ship all at the same time.

[@theAessaya]

Regarding Kleber being sunk by Shima in a gunfight: one thing I've learned as a DD captain, and then also as a Shima captain, is -- do not underestimate the Shima's guns. They may be slow-firing, and Shima may be a _torpedo_ destroyer, but those guns can still wreck your day if used properly. Wrecked many a gun-DD with those bad bois. Shame many Shima drivers actively choose to ignore them.

[@andrewmueller3391]

That’s cause most shims captains are at the back of the map launching their 20km torps, so they don’t realize they even have guns.

[@communisticus191]

Its the high alpha that really gets you. Has one of the highest damage HE salvos of any t10 destroyer, only beaten by known powerful gunboats like the Khaba, Kleber, and Gdansk

[@ScotsRonin]

Playing a shima a couple years ago, was already damaged when I got jumped by a Khabarovsk totally undamaged. Figured I was dead. Torps already fired...only guns available. So I opened up with the guns - detonated him with the first shot (back then, you could do that.) I just started laughing....almost hit an island I was laughing so hard.

[@Vnx]

I never got to the Shima because I stopped playing years ago but I was always quite willing to use the guns of the IJN torpedo DDs. Slow rotation and rate of fire, but they hit hard.

[@NYC-Gardener]

I realized when there were 6 dead enemies, that the division had all the kills at that point, and asked myself "Are they about to get ALL the kills? Is that why Jingles put this one up?" I guess I have been watching for too many years lol

I was the enemy Yamato in this game- I tried, something like 200k, 2.5mil potential this game. That Lushun is an absolute zombie, especially with the buffs from arms race, like fighting a tiny british CL with no citadel.

Oh wow, super unicum division stacks the odds in their favor and beats up on all the randoms. Shocking...

[@Uni790]

Actually Jingles, deep water torps can hit subs, but the sub has to try to get hit, as they pass between periscope depth and the next step down, making it exceptionally difficult to get hit by them, but I've had it happen, to me, only the once though.

Some credits has to go to the rest of the team. Sure Potato and his division may have taken down so.e ships by themselves, kills are simply awarded to the ship who deals the finishing blow. You make it seem as if Potato and his division did all the work while the rest of the team sat back and enjoyed a cold one and some popcorn...

[@milionST]

It was an one sided steamroll and it was excruciatingly boring to watch, with an obviously expected outcome.

[@dzello]

Not really. BelowAveragePotato got 3042 bxp. WD_SPUD got 1664 bxp. SFNL got 1502 bxp. Since base experience doesn't scale linearly, it has diminishing returns, these three players contributed more than all nine others combined. The fact is the rest of the team did in fact sit back and enjoy a cold one with some popcorn because they had no contribution whatsoever. In fact, just BelowAveragePotato had bigger contribution than four of the other players combined, so... Yeah, credits are where they should be.

"Deepwater torpedoes that can't hit destroyers but also can't hit submarines"...this is why I don't play this game anymore, but instead choose to live vicariously though Jingles videos. Any match worth playing is more likely to be featured here than it is to actually be experienced in game. To WoWS's credit, I kept playing it nearly two years after I quite WoT, I don't think I even still have it installed which is a pity because I used to like the Halloween game modes...tho to be honest, I only ever bothered to log on during special game mode periods...

171k damage to that yammy

[@johnclapperton5556]

I understand why deep water torps don't work on subs. On the surface the draft is too shallow and submeged subs would be below the depth the deep water torps would run at.

[@clmwrx]

Yea but you'd think it should still be possible to hit one with them if the sub happens to be at the right depth for it

[@johnclapperton5556]

It would be a very brief time as to be completly submerged and no surface wake WW2 subs would travel at about 60 ft except when going up to periscope depth. So seems quite reasonable to not try to fit that brief time in when they might be hit.@@clmwrx

[@clmwrx]

@johnclapperton5556 so its more reasonable for the torp to just pass through the sub? Makes no sense why the torp can't hit the sub if it happens to be at the same depth as the torp
