In my opinion, there are quite a few ships now that I’d consider overpowered... But it seems these ships is the “new average”. So question is if we can call for buffs of quite a lot of ships now, so we can get an even field of play... instead of nerfing. Buff BB’s in tier 3 to face the Koenig Albert etc. etc... way easier than the other way around.

Zoom in, find the nearest torpedo, throw yourself onto it to save your team from said torpedo..... Oh.... you meant, like something clever noone else does, that actually makes sense?

Because missiles are expensive as hell.... using guns are way way cheaper.... if you’re able to bring guns into range, and protect them, they’re still the favoured weapons. And eventhough shells can be equipped with GPS devices for increased accuracy, the old “dumb” thing is still favoured, only bringing in more precise options if civilians are in the way.... well, if the civilians are of the nationality/religion we value, otherwise we’ll plaster them with “dumb” shells anyway and say it’s acceptable collateral damage...

Do we get points for potential damage or damage taken/tanked? If we do, could we raise that score? Cause at the moment you can spend a lot of time attracting attention, building up potential damage, and it's still the rest of the team running off with the points eventhough you were the "reason for it" by dodging fire for the team, making it feel a bit unfair.

I simply cannot wrap my head around her, or the earlier French cruisers for that matter... I'm trying long range, but she seem rather inaccurate (compared to my Atago that is), and the loading time seems rather long for that type of engagement where you'll want to pour some good HE shells onto ships... Close range.... I'm not sure, hate dying in vain :) Any tips? I know she's not the sneak and peak as the DM, or the hide and pour like Worchester, or the British counterpart.... What is she exactly?

If you're not used to it, it could look like they cost tokens.... you know, if you turn your head a bit to the right, tilt it to the left and squint left eye a bit...

Denmark are represented by 0%... We’d like Niels Juel.... please.

How about: If a team hasn’t capped in the first 5 minutes, it’s an auto-loss, and the fleet retreats. Oh, and let the BB’s start in front, full speed ahead from the get go. Cruisers behind, full speed ahead.... Destroyers in the rear sitting still. The problem often stems from the BB’s are too slow to get into position, and the cruisers as well.... Edit: Bad idea, I know, but I had to suggest it :)

Just leave the game.... The game is poorly balanced, and ships poorly thought up..... and WG is not keen on changing anything, so if you don’t like the smell in the bakery, buy your bread elsewhere. Never come to the forums with poor game design, especially if it’s been presented over and over again, cause even the players and forumites are “elitists” who feel they are entitled to beat the crap out of others in their “well-balanced” ships. So honestly, just leave the game, there are better ones out there. You will never get anything from here anyway.

Yup, done that, but then the entire front stalls just short of the objectives, and shortly after all 3 caps are capped unopposed by the other team..... And the moaning begins on the "bad job" of the DD's. The radar ships, combined with high rate of fire ships, make these caps deadly for DD's... it's easier at lower tiers though (except there you end up getting beat up by up to 3 carriers at the same time, for which you have no counter)

Qraa, had another of these Tier III-IV, with 2 CV's on each side, and 5 other ships.... For gods sake, low tiers are frustrating at the moment..... and you expect me and others to recommend this crap to other new players? I would for the love of god never do that, the game stinks when you go through the lower tiers, and right now CV's are a big part of it. [edited]I'm pissed....

Since I've actually bought KA, and only because it's an absolutely beautifull ship, and considering the [edited] with GC..... Just NO! In my opinion they should be able to balance ALL ships.... but discriminating between them, I'd never agree on that.

45 percent sounds pretty average? Like someone having fun and not paying attention to stats Statpadding against people that doesn’t care, is pretty easy, hence a bit of your statpadding is kind of meaningless, so once you start, you’ll be able to get to 50 percent very quickly, from there on you’ll start challenging some of the real statpadders, and take some of their damage from them, hence they will get worse (relatively so). But be aware, only look at what you’re matching yourself against, if your a single player, don’t compare yourself with players having high stats in 2-3 player divisions, always look at their single player stats if you want to compare. Cause those bastards know how to pad, and they know the most effective way is divisioning up with other good players and use good ships, or specialize. If you want to see their true potential, look at their single player stats But if you’re only looking for big numbers, join a good clan, division up, use good ships, and see your stats skyrocket in no time.

Honestly guys, I’ve played the Smolensk, and eventhough she spits a lot of bullets, which by itself is annoying to get hit by, the relatively small calibre makes it relatively poor damage dealing. Sure you get a lot of fires, and that’s where the damage comes from. But after being up against decent Des Moines players, and playing Des Moines against the Smolensk, I honestly feel the DM beats the crap out of a Smolensk in a straight up fight.... the radar overcomes the smoke, and my shells actually hurt, whereas the Smolensk just tickels me. The Des Moines also do damage from the HE shells when hitting a BB, and you’d never see 4-5 K damages pop up when sailing a Smolensk :)

You hide in smoke, I’ll pop my cruiser radar and crap on you..... who am I?

I just came out of a battle where I heard the comment from a BB that was capping late game: “It’s really bad when BB’s have to cap....” He was in a Grosser Kurfürst, and the enemy team didn’t have any DD’s remaining..... and we were winning.... hence noone could focuse him down..... He was actually in the perfect ship for capping.

I'm so tired of the way it looks.... if it looks like a loss, I'll just get myself sunk and try again.

They are a real annoyance to DD’s... So far I’ve found a closer coorporation between the DD’s and BB’s to be the only counter.... and the Daring is a good one in that case, cause it has hydroacoustics, and can scan the area around BB’s for torpedoes, making the synergy even better. But straight up, I feel the Des Moines is a better cruiser, and well handled, it’ll wipe the Smolensk of the face of the earth.

You could reverse the line up. Put the BB’s in the front, cruisers behind, and destroyers in the last line. That would delay the demise of the DD’s.... hopefully.

I'm about to cry, I'a crying so hard actually.... There are a few ships that feel like a breeze, and I guess you know them.... I know them, and I use them.... Then there are all the other ships, all those that are actually ok, but at the moment it feels like ok is just not good enough anymore..... Then there are the teams, sometimes you get into a good one, and everything is like a breeze, and fun you will have.... well, it's not really fun, more like total domination.... on other occasions, you end up on the side where the two ships you're with they simply yolo to their deaths.... probably gave up when they saw 3 of the cruisers on the opposite team were Smolensks.... Teams that say, go there and scout.... but once you find something, they don't lift a finger to help you. Honestly guys, at higher tiers the game is so scewed now, it's not even fun.... not considering you'll end up having 1 fun game for every 10, unless you pick something that can litterally crap on everything else. They really got to work a lot more on the balancing part of the game.... cause right now, it stinks...

See, you agree I'll show myself out.....

I pretty sure you can get damage without even taking the speed of ships into account, just by aiming for the middle of the ship when dropping rockets, torpedoes and bombs.... It'll be better if you have a slight sense of movement vectors, but that most people have learned and use every day when crossing the road, and not get run over by cars.....

I miss the old Khaba, and as you say, now they could buff it back, and noone would care.

I know.... that was not the point though, I'm a shitty player in the first place

I think you missed the point? I only have 5 battles in the Hosho..... 5 battles.... and I really don't play CV's that much.... If we have to throw mud at each other, I mainly play solo.... I don't need a team to "stat pad" myself up, and then comming in here throwing mud The games was an example to the topic of the thread, not an example of me being good (one was a loss).... If you think otherwise you lost track of the thread?
