Um, I'm sorry. I think I got lost in the middle area of your post when I saw numbers that I didn't know where you were pulling them from.
I'm going to try and read it again, but maybe this will be something I just have to look at tomorrow after I've slept?
As for the Priority Sector stuff, I did a video about that Commander Skill:

Excellent research! Definitely worth mentioning
@z9_
Thanks for bringing this to my attention! We’re looking in to this now to find out a bit more. Sorry to hear that the timing of it is inconvenient for you, but we’ll have some more clear answers soon.
Happy New Year!
@Snargfargle has an excellent grasp on it.
Suggesting that, “I’ve never seen a dev in game so they clearly don’t play” is sort of like my favorite joke:
”Ever seen a pink elephant hide in a tree?”
”… No”
”They’re pretty good hiders, aren’t they?”
The best thing you can do for your play is to watch the Replay. When you take yourself out of the moment you can sit back and examine your choices, as well as the choices other people made.
Getting kills and damage is fun, but how the match plays out is often much bigger than that.

One of the things you will see during Replay Analysis is whether you had a chance to save a match or not. Sometimes, it's literally out of your control and you can see that.
As long as you are making good decisions and doing the best you can, than you did your job. Even the best players lose because this is a solo-carry style game.
If you wanted to learn, he's a video that talks about it:

You might be misunderstanding the example. It's not saying that 60% of every game is decided by YOU in the absolute sense. If you extrapolated, then it'd be saying 60% of every game is decided... by each and every one of your teammates at the same time. That's a lot of 60%.
The breakdown is about someone's personal Win Rate.
20% of matches are Wins regardless of what you do
20% of matches are Losses regardless of what you do
60% of matches are Impacted by Your Influence
If you break it down to a statistical sort of concept, 20% Win Rate seems to be a "Loss Floor" in that you can't can't get much lower than that even if you tried. 80% Win Rate seems to be a "Win Ceiling". So where you fall between those two points is determined by what you consistently bring to every match over thousands of games.
Are there players that have higher or lower Win Rates in ships? Sure. There...

"MFW when people say AA is useless" --> "My feeling when people say AA is useless"
@NefariousRaven is saying AA wasn't useless, because it shot down planes.
The entire thread was saying, "Oh look, AA wasn't useless here."

@Soshi_Sone has many similar posts showing off their skills in the Tiger '59. Folks say the Tiger is terrible, and yet Soshi_Sone has great games in it.
Trying to turn a person's display of skill with an AA ship or the Tiger into a refutation of all things said ever... is going to be a bit of stretch. But for those that enjoy AA or the Tiger, it's still nice to represent the other side of equation.
Play nice, everyone!!!
I literally replied on Page 1 of this thread :p
However, here's a link to a lengthy post I made on the subject:
Hi,
There is absolutely zero truth to any ideas floated about MM targeting any particular ship or person and dispensing losses to them.
Except @Ducky_shot. I recently had a code installed specifically to make sure he sees T10's no matter what tier he plays
50 losses in 58 games is indeed nearly miraculous. I believe that, by default, any breathing person should be making at least 40% wins - so kudos to you! You have been touched by a BB-caliber angel of bad luck.
Or it is perhaps that you are not yet able to carry your weight in a match. That was me for my first few hundred battles, for sure. I suggest forming a division with someone you know is better than you, watching youtube videos, and watching streamers as well. Streamers on Twitch can be extremely helpful for learning how to go from red stats to orange, orange to yellow, and on and up the rainbow.
Hope that helps! @Tom_Voke
For some folks Kaga is a great starter ship in Tier 8 because she has so many planes. For other folks, her long attack lines required on her Torps and Rockets mean that people just don't find the ability to strike meaningfully. Personally, I'm not a Kaga player as I crave more maneuverable planes.
As for losing 50 out of 58 battles, that's not a statistically significant number... but it isn't INsignificant either. That's likely a serious indication that something isn't working out well at all.
Basic concept in terms of "Win Rate" is:
20% of matches are Wins regardless of what you do
20% of matches are Losses regardless of what you do
60% of matches are Impacted by Your Influence
It's likely that you're not finding the ways to influence with Kaga, and you're also low-rolling on how the teams settle out. As someone else pointed out, the only person in every single match you ...

It’s entirely possible that the 380’s on the Biz aren’t able to cit a super cruiser like the JDW at surprising ranges. I can’t look at the armor values at the moment, but what I can tell you is that the KDW excels at the following:
* Resisting light cruiser / DD HE
* Resisting AP up to 406 on the deck, but not the bow or stern.
To combat a JDW, you should do the following:
* Have 434mm+ AP shells
* Light it on fire (it burns like a BB)
* Have good enough aim to overmatch the bow or stern with 406mm+ guns
For example, I was once devstruck 100-0 by a Montana that aimed the shells well enough to hit the stern in a manner that quad citadel’d me.
Please be careful making statements like this.
The devs absolutely do play on the live server and the various testing servers.
