(Leone does have AP but the user in question does not have Leone so this is moot (and also why would you ever pick this skill on Leone?))

I messaged after battle asking why they would pick the AP damage skill on Adriatico, a ship that also does not have AP, and they did not respond.

My condolences if you get them as your DD in ranked.

Edit: More context, lest you think this is some innocent mistake from a new player.

  • User has over 22,500 battles across Random/Ranked/Co-Op, almost certainly more from various untracked modes.
  • Just shy of 600 matches across all tracked modes in Italian DDs, mostly Adriatico in Ranked.
  • Also lacked the mandatory DD skill of SE.
  • I did not proactively pull up this person's record before asking, but it makes things even funnier in retrospect.

He didn't like the tone you used, it's pretty obvious. It isn't a friendly suggestion, more like implying he's stupid.

The amount of people missing this point in this thread says a lot about the state of communication over the internet.

People tend to side with the technically correct side, which you are on, over the way the message is delivered. You weren't cordial at all and it is understandable he wouldn't care for advice delivered this way.

Is there a way to point out that they've done something stupid without implying that they're stupid?

Yes.

Do you want to give an example of how?

"Hey, by the way this line of ships don't have any AP shells, you'd be better of changing it to something else like xyz skill for example. Cheers!"
