but most importantly I want to lose because of my mistakes, not rng bullshit. To be blunt, it turned out that the issue in your OP *was* because of your mistakes: if all your CLs are set to raider, as you said they were, then you've spread your forces out too far and you aren't likely to get more than one per battle.
except this time it was a CA going around all alone, *and I have no CA set on raiding, nor trade protection*, so no, it's just layers of bullshit and people trying their hardest to give this a sense where there's none.
the CA in question had a respectable 28knot speed, but the enemy had a complement of destroyers, forcing me around.

Well, the point is not to invent a justification for bullshit,
the point is that many people are really enjoying the game - after getting used to the well-known deficiencies of the battle generator.
We all surely went through those stages of frustration.
But it´s the same frustration every fleet commander experiences in real life, when reconnaisance fucked up or some strategical "geniuses" meddled in operational planning and sent the wrong ships into the wrong battles.
It CAN be very thrilling to try to get out of such one-sided affairs alive....

"CRUISER BATTLE, SIZE SMALL" the retarded battle generator said. then:
...images cut for brevity...
notice how: I got air power in the area
I'm not blockaded
we got roughly equal fleets, he's got more BB, less BC, but my BC weight as much as their BBs
this was just off some of my coastal ports
I maxed out on intel, as if it might help
this game is bullshit, the battle generator system is lazy, and I thoroughly resent the purchase.
Tell you what: I will personally refund your purchase price. Give me your contact info and order number in a PM and I will arrange it (this is a serious offer).
You can then spend the money to purchase & play something you like since RTW2 does not fit the bill, and you also wont have to spend any more of your time posting how much you don't like the game.

This is a very important point. RTW2 has a nearly vertical learning curve and a UI from Office 1990. This is understandable, a lot of the best wonky nerd games (like Aurora4X, anything from Gary Grigsby) have similar issues. But getting angry and blaming the game doesn't lead to enjoyment – learn how the game screws you, and learn to screw it back  |

Now now, that's not quite fair: the UI is from Office 95. :-) Furthermore, Office 1990 was just called Office 1.0. They didn't start using year numbers to label office versions 'til 95. It probably says something about me that I find the "Office 95" style more usable than more modern/fashionable UIs. |

Preparing presentations was so much easier before the clipart, template and animation arms races took off. |
