Had the exact opposite the other day. 450 hits in the Marceau, only HE, and.... zero fire xD

The other day a yammy dcp'd a single fire from my nevsky and i immediately double perma'd him. The next salvo also set 2 permas. That quadra perma was probably the most amazing thing i've ever seen in this game

Hey Potato Quality, love the videos and game play. I did the math. 9% of 233 is 20.97. You got 18 fires. So you were pretty much right on pace for the ships HE performance. Thank you for the video.

Imo, Leningrad's black and gold defender camo is the best perma camo in the game

You tend to only remember the bad RNG moments. It's like in poker, you only remember the time you were beat on the river by a 1 outer. But never the times you beat someone out in the same way.

Well done! You were pretty lucky that the enemy team wasn't trying to shoot you for the majority of the game is what I feel. Your choice of ships to shoot was well done, though, as you focused on ships that weren't on fire or had just damaconed your allies fires. That is just the way it goes sometimes...

I have the same experience in Friesland and haru. Great fires per min DPM and sometimes I have games with 200+ shell hits and under 3 fires, other I fire 50 and I get 5/6 fires. It's so inconsistent it's frustrating.

My vote for how to deal with fire chance is to force them to be more consistent. For every shell that doesn't cause a fire, the fire chance increases so that the number of fires for every 100 hits is equal to the ship's fire chance. To balance this, changing targets should reset the buff, and there should be a fire chance nerf across the board, and the "garanteed fire count" would be altered by fire prevention (a ship with 8% fire chance firing st a ship with 50% fire prevention would be set on fire every 25 hits so long as the ship never changed targets and wasn't hitting a part of the ship already burning). Might make fires a bit too easy to get, but would at least make them more consistent.

i had 2 king georges call me a hack while i was playing my Hood the other day, i was able to get 3 fires on both of them, they DCP'd and then i was able to light 4 fires on them right after, never seen my RNG so good

I'm pretty sure the randomness is exactly the point of the design. That's how you get people to keep coming. Those that don't just ditch the whole thing as bullshit, that is.

*patiently waiting for PQ to acknowledge the supercarriers*

18 fires per 233 hits equates to a 7.7% fire chance. The leningrad has an alpha fire chance of 8%. In match chance should be a lot lower due to fire prevention, hitting ships during dcp and hitting sections already on fire. Lets assume realistic chance is 4%. An 18 fire match is statistically likely to occur 153 matches. Below is the listing: - 2%: Every 100000 - 3%: Every 3000 - 4%: Every 153 - 5%: Every 22 - 6%: Every 6 - 7%: Every 3 - 8%: Every 1.6 Obviously a player can improve their chances by targeting sections/ships not on fire, picking targets with less fire prevention and waiting out dcps.

According to probability If the reduction was for all ships 40% that would make chances of causing a fire 5.4% And in 233 trials to succeed (cause a fire) at least 18 times P(X>=18) = 0.08 8% so you were in fact very lucky

Good RNG played a big part in this match, but it's also worth noting that you had half a dozen BBs pushing into you, none of whom where funning Fire Prevention, all while completely ignoring a DD running around in open water. I'd say it was the perfect storm of good RNG, being in a good/lucky position, and (mostly) MM putting all the apes on the enemy team.

I don’t know why pseudo-random isn’t implemented in the game yet

I remember a khaba game where I hate 220 hits and 2 fires set. Seeing this makes me cry. Lol I also remember a Sov Soyuz game where I had 20 pens and no damage. Havent had that in a while but no damage pens are the worst.

Amazing. I need a arsonist award for tier 5 or higher and the leningrad dropped in a crate for me recently. Looks like I might just have the perfect fire starter to pull it off. How did you build it out and what's the commander build like?

that embarrassing. but even worse is when shells hit the back of the ship, but fire appears on the front, because the back is already on fire. I've seen the same issue on Flamu's streams twice.

Got a game in my cleaveland, a fire every 10 shells, 180 shells, 18 fires

watching this live was absolutely nuts

It reminded me times, when you just got hits without visible DD somewhere over its firing visibility range... :D

The Leni and the gremi are known firestarters . Rng loves them .

That would be a nice Uptier compensation mecanic: a multiplier on the Fire / Flooding Chance.

I had no idea that different tier ships had different base fire resistance, great info!

I am playing Marceau and Colbert a lot, but never had 18 fires during one game, and those are fire starter ships 😬

Yo PQ! Chances here must be astronomical. I did notice though that everything i took notice of was not running fire prevention, so that might have been a big part of it too

I can't remember exactly. But I had a game in the Friesland with 25 fires ore something like that. But in this game quite a few got repaired right after they got set. Still was a good dmg game.

sir, your Leningrad seems to have decided it wants to be a Conqueror

i think the game spins a wheel when you log on and you never know till you start playing if it landed on "you will pen everything today" or " you will bounce everything today" till you start playing. i will have a 90% win rate one day, followed by a 20% day. i play the same, my aim is the same, but my win rate goes up and down by such a large margin from one day to the next.

Yes I've experienced this on occasion. What I see more often though is the opposite. Like 330 HE hits for one fire in a Smolensk. Considering the Smolensk shatters like crazy, that's a lot of "no damage" hits. I've suspected a bug for some time now. I also think there's an aiming bug everytime I'm in a BB and I hit a DD at 14km only to completely bracket a BB at 6km moments later.

Do a video on how it seems the matchmaker is more broken than it has been in the past? Seems more teams are made of players that die in 2-3 min

The other day i got 23 fires with the 7 provincien, it felt unnormally lucky that game. Every time you wanted a permanent fire you got it

We need your thoughts on the Incomparable!

Yea Ive had that. I remember when the russian BBs came out and I got to the tier 6. First game ever in that ship I had 220k and 6 kills. 4 devstrikes. I sent the replay to Aetam and he featured it so its there somewhere, I said they were brokenly overpowered and he corrected me and said I got really lucky. Then I had a second game after that game with basically the exact same results. Over 200k 3-4 devstrikes and 6 kills. Then I was never able to redo it ever again. Look Ive been confident for many years that Wargaming games are rigged to all hell just like mobile games. There is no such thing as "oh Im good so I have a high WR". Its all in your head, its made so you think that way and so you spend money on the game. Like when I first started playing WoWs I had an abnormally high WR, like 58-60% for my first 3k games. I thought I was a natural and was really good at the game, then it was like someone flicked a switch. I couldnt win a game to save my life, for months, a year or two. My WR dropped like a stone and I was constantly furious at the game. Then for the hell of it I started a second account, with no flags, no premium, no camos no nothing. I grinded myself up to tier 8 in the british DD tree. That account now has a 68% overall completely solo WR. Its just a trick, a mindtrick.

Leningrad ❤️ I’ve had game like that in my Udaloi, another great boat. Enemies would comment in chat about the ridiculous fires.

Been on both ends of it had games where every salvo it felt like I was lighting fires, felt kinda bad for the enemy team tbh, but ive also had games where I didnt get a single fire until 100+ shell hits, also had games where 1 he shatter lights me on fire as I dive behind island cover only to get lit up again by a rogue shell as soon as that fire goes out.

let's have a drinking game, have a shot every time he sets a fire

The bigger luck in this video is the fact nobody is shooting at you the entire time, that's the real luck.

I've recently had a game where just about every salvo I fired hit a citadel.

One way you got really lucky was that that Pommern B obviously wasn't secondary spec'd.

I have experienced the extremes of RNG mostly in the Thunderer (either doing 2 and even 3 fires for every salvo, or making 1-2 fires for the entire game).

When was this game? I got burned to death twice yesterday (in Massa and Lenin) SO quickly, both ships are full survival build but there was no stopping the fires. Not the fast heal and not the fast DCP could save me, I was not taking any crazy risks or out of position, just almost any HE hit I took seemed to set me on fire. Stopped playing BB's for that reason yesterday.

It's like people believing in miracles: 99,9% of your days seem pretty normal, then one day you experience SUCH IRL RNG that make them say: that hás to be a miracle. Or ''game broken'' in WOWS.

I had the exakt opposite of fire rng :D 250 HE hits with Hindenburg and no fires lit. I felt pretty scammed to be honest. But at least I dealt around 150K damage, this calmed me down :D

Not a lot of fire prevention on those BBs, but still!

I think Minsk is just better than Leningrad. Having 8 km torps instead of 4 km is nice, but they are still quite situational considering the playstyle. In turn, Leningrad's downside compared to Minsk actively hampers the playstyle, because it is having that horrid turret traverse. Minsk traverse isn't great either, but at least the turrets can somewhat keep up with your turning speed. Leningrad simply can't do full maneuvers and shoot at the same time, which means that you either give up evasiveness or DPM.

I got 22 fires in a jean bart onse that was insane

They must really want u in the CC program 😁

I've had a conqueror game where it took just under 80 hits to set my first fire.

85k fire damage wow!

so, is that tier 7 Smolensk with that number of fire ribbon Also the painful question is here, tomorrow a video on supercarriers ?

may be on a Dallas, but on a DD, what did you sacrifice to the god of RNG

I once set 4 fires with my moskva, with only 5 shell hits lol.

I'm not gonna lie my thunderer sometimes just starts the fire like every salvo and sometimes I got like zero fires for 35 hits in a thunderer 😑😑😑

RNG is actually based and chaospilled

Uploaded 54 seconds ago. Oh boy I can sense the gamer moment from here

PQ i got a khaba game the other day, 250 HE hits with 0 hits on ships which werent on fire, i was healing them xD know exactly what you mean

This stuff happens and then I fire 4 conqueror salvos at a republic and not a single fire lol

i had a game in a kitakaze 372 hits with HE and only one fire

My RNG goes the other way. I have literally had 70 HE hits in Thunderer and had 2 fires....

Image if this game had minimal RNG, haru would be so broken

The only thing stronger than Stalinium, is Leninium

The luckiest game I've had was in mellonman, with 2 drops setting quad fires

Congratulations You've been noticed and War Gambling have activated "CC rng" on your account.

King George in ranked 167k dmg and 22 fires

But comrad, is stronk russian ship!

I had a conkek game were I go 116 hits 2 fires.

I guess they use the real RNG. Yes absurd RNG (along with the comment of 450 hits and 0 fire) are totally normal if they use real RNG. Fact is most people can't understand real RNG so most games don't. A good example in Civ/Xcom they'll eventually give you a free hit you shouldn't make if you keep missing because people aren't used to real RNG. They could level it out and take that RNG into a chance per hit where you build up a certain amount per hit. Like if you had a 3% chance you light you'd get 0-6% of a fire each shot. So you'd get a fire on average once every 33 hits instead of having 6 shots light 6 fires rarely and have 600 shots light 0. Personally I'd prefer less rng and more of a system like that, but it would be a very different game. In the above described case you'd probably keep a count in your head and choose specific targets when you thought you were close to a fire. For PvP games I dislike true RNG. Or they could average the RNG across the game to help when you got behind or punish when you got ahead. But looks like they are just using the raw random numbers (which is VERY rare in most games).

Well this was beyond disgusting

I have 4k battles in the U.S.S. Benson and I will say this game is so rigged that it's not funny. It seems to do not go battle to battle most of the time but by the day. One day I can't miss the next I can't hit shit. WeeGee uses MM and RNG to rig the game. I've started to just play (more the one or two battles) the days where RNG seems to be on my side and my WR has gone up 15% over the last 500 battles.

Only considering the firechance not taking any lowering faktors in account I cant see the Problem. You have a 9% firechance and did 18 fires in 233 hits. Thats 7,7% chance for fires out of your total amount of shots. So where is this rng?

Today the enemy was lucky. I detonated in two subsequent games, that was fun

You said it has 9% fire starting. 18 fires in 200 hits is 9%. Nothing abnormal about the rng here.

My record is 120shell hits without a single fire with Hindenburg, but more often than not I need around 70 shell hits to get my first fire. Talk about RNG.. and this game being buggy as @#!#!

i remember in 2019 i delete my acount after 120 HE hits with my Gearing and get 0 (zero) fires.....

I don't know what your giggling about, 7 ended up with around 8%

I swear this game rng is broken since release. I suspect that they modify rng for each game. Sometimes you get better sometimes it's worse. I don't believe for one second what I saw in my years with this game can be explained with rng. It's either that or rnJesus is actually the one real god.

hmmm my record is opposite....114 HE hits 0 fires set....... with ZAO XD

18/233= ~8%

Now show us your shrine where you worship rngesus

it's called russian bais :v

RNG its a f...ng joke. When u want to do damage WG says NOP!!! when u only shot with less probabilites WG says YES!!! Its a game done for a low capabilities players dont take spicological crisis for dont do damage.

It calls luck

I think that fires r ok but fire dmg is too powerful.. Dum that fires can sink a BB

Soviet bias? It's a "Lenin" right?
