Don't you love it when your assigned PvP opponents present to you a heavy fleet with a troll sub, leaving you with a hard choice to make: go Line Ahead = your CLT/DD/CL become useless in both shelling and night battle; go Line Abreast or Diamond to kill the troll sub ASAP = the enemy laughs at your damage and pummels you into submission; don't bring ASW capable ships = forfeit the S-rank and the lack of opening power may very well screw the whole fight; bring only subs = wtf are you doing, PvP is not Orel.

As a TTK who uses a specific fleet compo for all the PvP fights (low lvl FS, BB, 2CV, 2CLT), enemies with troll subs are a pain to deal with. If I use a flagship DD/CL with ASW combo it's not that bad, but at the moment I'm leveling my Akitsumaru, and after that I'm going to level my two Taigeis. They can't attack subs, the responsability falls only on the CLTs. On top of that, I'm also leveling a Yamato-class, and she sucks at night battle. The flagship, being low level, sucks either way.

The defeats are piling up, and I'm not going to change the composition just to face the trolls. Changing the composition to face trolls would go against the very reason I do PvP. I PvP for ship experience, not for ranks. In fact, I couldn't care less about ranks. The rewards are not that worthy for the amount of no-lifing it requires.

When I go AFK, I either present my Orel team (3~6 combat subs lvl 95+) or my 3 CLTs (all lvl 99) or a miscellaneous fleet with moderate/high levels at FS + 2nd slot, without subs; all fully modernized and fully equipped as if ready to sortie. IMO, these compos provide good PvP exp with a bit of challenge - I'm not going to offer S-ranks for free.

End of rant.
