unfortunately the patch left ARA with several low BB6, Kaiser and Nebraska, see 1 defend and the second in port, upload by Fara, this time had a lot of QV without armor, we had to leave everything to the port. Cant make lost time, you can see the 3 fights in line 3, where we were all BB5 and one BB6 player and some ss (12 player), but still gave him the fight and we had 40 minutes to the port, which the previous defenses had more time 1h:15m. Congratulations for the port and leave us as high as fleet with all the defenses, I am proud to belong to the ARA , we had a clean HA without cheat, disconnections, but had the hands of the developers of SDE :( , well that and now we will take a vacation and care ARA will return soon to have another port.

Please dont give the mods cause to lock this thread keep it .... civil?

Some pointers after reading ARA complaints.

(1) After closely watching my radar in HA tile video I count atleast 32 red enemy dots. At worst you were 3 ships down.

(2) With Regards to points, Blacksun members had no problems sending in support tickets to request points. If we could get our BB6's in time, there is no reason you could not have either. Also I might stress, BS declared well before the patch and did not, nor could not have known points would have been an issue. You had all of Thursday, Friday and Saturday to fix your ships, I know I had my Kaiser back on thursday.

(3) The defending fleet has to be ready regardless of the situation, week in week out. When BS held Hamburg for well over a year to get the rental BB5 time and time again events worked against our favour.
(i)We were attacked on the 4th of July and had a terrible turnout but held the Harbour.
(ii)An enemy fleet declared on us with the neutral logo and we didnt know until the Friday we had been declared upon... but we held the harbour.
(iii)Another enemy fleet inflitraited one of our BB accounts for Harbour tile and TK'd 2 CV6's right at the start ... we held the harbour.

(4) ARA brought 5 CV6's all with fighters. Maybe you were afraid of Paratroopers and decided to skip the usual MN bomberwhore, but this should have worked heavily in your favour, better sighting and all.

(5) Unfortunatly it didn't. Im going to be very honest here, your CV's sucked. Poor scouting tactics which might have worked in a GB2 but in a long HA tile battle it was foolish and wasteful. We bled you dry. Just look at my video... I have 50k plane kill creds... and after halfway I was having a hard time finding planes to kill since you were only flying reduced waves.

(6) The assumption that if you had your BB6's this would have easily been a Blacksun defeat number 3 is by no means a conclusion.
HA 1 - was a razer close game, 1 more bind of ammo, 1 more bb6 and Blacksun would have won. It was so desperate you had all your CV6's charge Blacksun to waste ammo. Don't believe me... I have the full HA video on youtube to prove my point.
HA 2 - We had plenty of time but attempted a radically new experiment with Paratroopers to see if it was possible. In the end we shot ourself in the foot and lost time. You played well and some BS members panicked and rushed to an early death. Overall BS BB play was poor and we went back to practise.
HA 3 - Easy push to HA tile due to lack of ARA numbers. In HA tile with well over an hour BS played slow and steady. We countered your sub threat, destroyed your airforce and slowly pushed in for the kill.



In the end you lost, suck it up and move on. I have no ill feeling towards ARA. You guys deserve alot of credit for holding off BS, PMW and other fleets who attacked you. Kudos to you and well done over the last few months.

These are all my opinions not BS.
Enjoy the vids or not :)
Fara.

As someone that will quite openly admit I dislike BS, I am forced to agree with them on this point.. They beat you and unless it was due to a desync, they beat you fairly.

Your players had 3 days in which to get their points back, I received mine back into HQ without making a ticket, and as previously said if a ticket was required and ARA players didn't do it, it is only their problem.

I don't understand... if you didn't have your points back, then just bring your BB5 with your extra spaces...

How did you get you HUD to look like that? Are there different HUD options under the settings? And what CV were you driving? That doesn't look like anything on the ship trees on the NF website.

gg BS

We were just 40 people and we made all we could to be more... in Argentina we r in "Winter Hollidays" and no many people stayed at home, some travel or just make other things (but this is our problem not ur fault). In the other hand i blame $DE cause at least 7 of our players couldnt play cause of the "data filed" (u guys say, u have Thursday Friday Saturday but more than half of the fleet dont play along the week, cause of work, study or whatever so its difficult to solve this in a few ours... i have to reinstall the game this week and last week too, thx to the data file but fortunatly i got the time to solve this...)
Anyways, this is part of our problem, in some way ARA leaders try to contact BS lider but didnt even get an answer so we coludnt do more... i didnt like this somehow cause i think a week makes no difference but was ur desition and is respectfully.

And in during the HA u played good, u could reach the HT easily and could neutralize SSs that was ur big problem the others 2 HAs, good for u.

@ asking about people on HT: We were 33 on HT and "shoper" lost conection in the biggining, we played with 32.

Nothing else to say.

Good Luck on ur next defenses and pry for some other fleet to attack and just stop talking :)

PD: sry for my english it SUCKSSSSSSSS :P

Nacho, don't worry. I could read your post without any problems, your English is fine.

The issue I see here with the turnout argument is this:

Both BS and ARA, as well as most other fleets, experienced the issue with points not being compensated for the sale of the BB6s. We had members that were unable to get their points returned before the HA as well, and those members, if able to log into the game, played other ships such as SS, BB5, CV4, etc.

BS also experienced having players not able to get into the game because of the Data File corruption issue, and we had to substitute several players into the HT for those who weren't able to get in.

What matters is that it was a very good HA, mainly the HT, and the fact that ARA held out for almost 40 minutes in the HT is not anything to be ashamed of. You did very well defending considering the circumstances, and you should all be proud to have such a clean, fun, exhilarating HA as this :-).

GG ARA, and hope to see you in the near future. Maybe, if you attack us in New York, you can find new tactics to try that we haven't come up with yet like we did to you. Things that will make our jaws drop and cause wide-spread panic throughout our fleet :-).

thanks for the video fara... i didnt play HT ;)

im watching the video(answers all my questions)... no blabbering by me.

Good game ARA & BS


edit; maybe one question::
how much was your fleet affected by the patch? (meaning not beeing able to armor 80% of nebby,kaiser and amagis?)

edit2;
adis stop farming lol

GooD i like the HA of BS
