Dusted it off and played a bit, until I ran into a South Carolina that was,..well,...suspect.
He took out every player in the arena. Friend and foe alike. At least he was consistent. His Carolina was firing rounds faster than they could land on a target, and his turret rotation was instantaneous.
He took out a New York with one barrage, same with my St. Louis. Matter of fact, I am pretty sure he did everyone that way.
He was just laughing his butt off about it. Saying, what are they going to do? It's a free game!
I then got tossed into a round with nothing but Tier 4 and Tier 5 ships, with me being the only Tier III. That was not pretty. It also happened to be the map with no land in it. Nowhere to hide.
I hope you reported him, both in-game in via ticket with at least screenshots. Replay would have been best, but the method to get it working is stupid. Really wish they finish that.
As for the cheating, well, that can happen here as well. Least here we have a much more stable replay to use, and that you guys are deadly serious when it comes to these things. While it would somewhat appear that WG takes action, overall I cannot honestly say how serious they are on these issues.
Look on the bright side, if you used your ally BB's as shields, you should've gotten some nice xp off that.
Personally I like Ocean the most. It's trickiest in a DD, well for me anyways.
The change they made to IJN TB's is interesting, I can see that converging thing being very powerful in the right hands. So far I'm really enjoying the new sounds, though I haven't had a chance to play on the two new maps yet. I am running into the other recent map more often now.
