I’m Good, Very Good!

Hi everybody, pop into WOWS on Sunday and battled for a few hours. 😊

Pop into asia.wows stats and noticed my PR has gone up 8 points, without me even playing!!!

Does mean that the overall playerbase skills/abilities is nosediving! 

[PunishedKAsual]

I wouldn't go so far as to say that the player-base skills has dropped.

It's just an aftermath of the CV rework.

hasn't the player base always been nosediving in terms of skill over time

Players are leaving too.

Destroyers is dead. Don't come back.

Player come and go, it is just a computer game. 

I would wonder what kind player could likely being driven away from the current meta? Not the good players I believe.

Could it be the rise of the bots?!

I'm still here so the CVs haven't driven away the crap players.

Driven away those crap players with not so crap stats?

Looking at peeps profiles there are more low experience players, I often see CV players with around 200 - 500 games with T8-10 CV's who also play a few surface ships and probably get hammered. My percentage seemed to increase all by itself recently and I am getting nuked by CV's alot, /shrug I may express my thoughts in open channel in games about CV's :) Which may have been resulting in extra attacks but still I thought they would go down.

Also the player base IS obviously getting less smart (can't say dumber as that may be seen as an attack :)) so many play CV's and CV players aren't not less smart :)

I’ve been warming up with co-op, had 2 random’s last night, both battles had duel carriers.

Ages ago with jets and among other things, cruiser AA screening was a thing, it prompted team work.

Captaining Dallas in those 2 battles I found myself AA screening (also in ship formation) and not (solo) hunting! AA builds are back!

First game had a storm so the Dallas instantly became useless and a Bismarck I choose to screen sailed to his early death and me along with him too.

Second game (better one), I did take a forward centre position and AA screen the centre (17 aircraft kills), was targeted multiple times but I wrecked more of them than they did of me, survive too, but it did show a lack of "smarts" to kill the obvious, me.
