I didnt know you could ram by doing that either, good to know
Also, I tried doing the thing with driving a BB into the midst of the enemy a few times yesterday, yeah it didnt work. Im going back to playing intelligently and keeping my distance.

Driving BB at enemy team also needs to be played intelligently, you don't just straight up charge in without any clue. Also very much depends on the map IMO.

Exactly. You need to close the distance by using the islands as cover and make sure you have some backup. It's impossible to do this in the "Ocean" map for instance, there's no cover. You are going in to protect your team mates; when that enormous juicy target shows up, odds are the enemy team is going to lick their lips and aim at you. While they are trying to screw you, your team mates will be bringing in the pain. Many times I have put myself in front of a friendly CA that's being targeted by the enemy, and when they see a BB closing in they forget about the CA.
And yes, odds are you will not survive. Many times I am either destroyer or near death after a successful close quarters battle but man, oh man, it's so worth it. It's like an orgy of death and destruction: the main batteries firing, the secondary bringing hell, the AAs shooting down those pesky torpedo planes, the sound of the grinding metal as you are hit time and time again.
Ofc there are those moments when you destroy a flank and you have a clear path straight to the enemy to deliver some epic surprise butt sex.

Maybe I didnt give the Furutaka enough credit
I solo'd 2 Carriers and a Destroyer + a half beaten Kongo that showed up towards the end simultaneously, by myself, killed a carrier and the destroyer, launched torps at the second carrier and was about to finish off the Kongo by putting one last broadside into him, but he got his last salvo in just before I did and scored a couple citadel hits to end me. My torps contacted the last carrier just afterwards. It was disgusting how many torpedoes they were launching at me between 2 langleys and the Isokaze, yet somehow I managed to avoid all but maybe one or two.

I don't use the flag, but I do have prem. Notice that I'm also getting Confederate and High Caliber, meaning I dealt in excess of 30% of the entire enemy team's collective HP in damage.

The Kongo is a fantastic ship and from his results screen he keeps those guns firing. Your not earning credits or xp when the guns aren't firing.

Once you fully upgrade the Myogi its like a different ship... unfortunately, the basic Kongo without upgrades is about as bad as the basic Myogi, so its abit of a downgrade once you hit the next tier.
How much of an XP bonus do you get for premium, anyone know? Considering getting a few days of it to help me XP to the Cleveland/Aoba faster (and also possibly New Mexico/Fuso while Im at it).

The premium account also tracks over to WoT and WoWp.
I just can't get my win rate above 48%, When the OBT started I managed to drop down to 28% due to the sheer uselessness of the teams that I was on and things haven't gotten much better since.
Wargaming really, really need to get their act together and create a functional match maker.

I hate to be that guy. But I think you are doing something wrong. I never went below 48% in Closed beta (in over 1000 games) and haven't gone below 50% since OBT started.

I was at 53% in the CBT and I generally finish in the top 3 and very rarely in the bottom half of the team so its not as though I'm a bad player.

Not saying you are. However, there is a big difference between someone who's a good individual player and someone who works towards helping the team win. Not saying you fall in either category, god knows RNGezus is the ruling deity of wargaming.

What am I doing wrong then?
Because I'm only at 48% and I play at a pretty high level of skill most battles that I'm not torped by my own team right out of the gate. During alpha and closed beta I was pushing 56-60%.

IMO, it's the same as most teambased games. It all comes down to map awareness. You may get a couple of kills and do amazing on your flank. If that means your other flank get's overrun it's all moot anyway.

And not being on the team that starts team killing. (Seriously, my last eight losses have all been someone torping one or more team mates...)
Or has the AFK.

Top 3 is a bit a of an exaggeration but its certainly unusual for me to be in the bottom half of my team.
The big problem that I have is that virtually everyone lemmings down one flank, there is only so much you can do in such circumstances given that virtually no one listens to direction. From time to time I will attempt to direct my team to do something useful but they usually carry on with whatever they were doing anyway.

And I'm on 47%

I'm not really enjoying my Cleveland in OBT which is odd because I loved it in CBT. I suspect that is was quite heavily nerfed from what it used to be.
I'm all but certain its shell velocity has been drastically reduced which makes hitting distant targets a lot harder.

Anyone else get the 10th anniversary ship (Albany)?
Looks nice, but absolute garbage to play as, it feels drastically underpowered even by way of comparison to Tier 1 ships.

Albany was an old tier II premium ship that was removed. Yes, it is absolute garbage and you can check Jingles' video about it. This gift translates to: free ship slot and some cash
