Was hyped for a new, sifferent line of BBs. With the last one having 4x2 420mm guns. But it looks like WG wants to feed us a slightly different Montana. Shamefur dispray.

She is practically better than the Yamato in every other aspect. Being able to face it with a reasonable chance in 1v1 would pretty much invalidate the Yamato. It will be a useless ship. Right now a Montana player should avoid the yamato and focus on other ships untill she gains a numerical advantage to take it down.

Im having real problems with this. Everytime I want to look around, my turrets go wild and I have to waste very precious time getting them back on track. This is the cause I have very little situational awareness and I often beach myself, or the case that I very rarely am able to shoot back when I maneuver to avoid certain things. It would be wonderous If we had, say, a button that locks your turrets to look STRAIGHT at an enemy ship (if it is spotted) Kinda like the World of Tanks Auto aim. (that does not track targets. Interesting note: WoT auto aim used to track targets very effectively)

This aint war.

WG please remove the Cruisers are OP part from this thread.

Ranked is broken.There is just no place for cruisers there. A CA cannot counter a DD effectively at all. And a DD has as much chance to do damage to the CA as viceversa. Meanwhile Battleships just nuke you.

What is wrong with having a button that locks your turrets to an enemy target? NOT holding any buttons NOT havingtopress three different buttons to lock your turrets (which still loses you a target solution on your target because your turrets are frozen) Just press one button and unpress it to release the lock. Its that simple. Its in World of Tanks too, I see no reason why it should not be here.

This is very uncomfortable.

Montana will get buffed forever on the sole reason she is not capable of facing Yamatos

WG did not listen. Make some caps cappable only by cruisers or BBs. Destroyers are just too important because only they can cap without being spotted and focused down.. And by destroyers I mean gunboats, because with so many DDs ofcourse you are gonna pick a gunboat and not an IJN DD. Also, with their nerfed torps, i see no reason for higher tiered IJN DDs to have their guns tweaked a bit. Soery for the short post, im on my phone and could elaborate later.

And here we have it kids, a typical example of a BB player.

For the lower brackets I have prepared a nicholas. Having more HP and less detection than Farragut, in adition to more torps for close range brawling, plus it forces an enemy tier 5 DD into the battle, most often a Minekaze trying to torp, which is a prey that is rather easy.I think it is a good choice for ranked. Do you?

I've actually wondered that myself. Being one of the players with above 60% winrate. If this "Dumb down" System really exists, it takes it a few battles inside the gaming session to kick into gear That is why most of the time I do 3 battles in my gaming session, most often than not all wins, then play until i Lose one , what I noticed is that the MM puts me with progressively worse team configurations (up to points where you can decide what will happen by looking at the teams, and then you realise your teammates are even morons) and checks if I can win the match by myself, If I can, I get an even worse team, If i Cant...well, I stop playing then so the system can reset itself so I dont know. Just my Paranoia

Oooh you didn't. I have massive respect for carrier players since they can do something Im rubbish at. Controlling 8 squadrons and all to deadly effect. Meanwhile most of the DD players lately are just the FoTM crowd doing ranked. Me included, I gave up on playing a cruiser past rank 10.

Oh jesus...here goes annother one... Is it me or BB players want the game to be spoon-fed to them?

Assuming cruisers run because of DDs is pure [edited]. Cruisers turn tail because they get spotted and deleted by Battleships and other cruisers. Add torps on top of that package (torps alone are no problem, but with those two things they can get a bit hectic) and you are dead or crippled for the rest of the game, forced to hide behind islands and Battleships, and even to hide from destroyers, who can spot you first and finish you off with a salvo or two..

Tell him, we joined the community on the same day. What a coincidence. Corvi has the same date as well. Vaderan and Shaka_D too.

Same thing. Get to rank 10 and forget about playing anything else than a DD. And since i've sold my mahan a long time ago, Im stuck to Myoko. Which is a pain to play.

Constructive post. I like it. So the problem is the Cruiser class and it's inability to perform to specifications when in ranked. Simply put, they die too fast and their players are scared to do what they should. Logical, Looking at Team battles, the two most used cruisers at tier 8 are the Kutuzov and Atago, both having an ability to either smoke up or heal to increase survivability. While none of the standart tier 7 or 8 cruisers have that. In ranked, as I've noticed if you play cruiser there is literally NO chance of avoiding taking high damage at some point except if you dont sit way back, snipe, and hope they, that is the enemy ofcourse, do not target you. And you have no option of repair either.

Feeling insulted by that is result of your own insecurities. Sorry. Also, '"Knows what hes talking about" Lol, This ain't no Aoba, Jingles. Now that we have derailed the thread. Can we get back on track? DDs People. DDs. Everywhere. In. Ranked (okay. past rank 10). We need suggestions on that because it is out of control.

Oh, to add. Jingles is a nice fellow and a funny guy all around. That said I do not think he should be considered an authority on this game. He is mediocre as a player, both here and WoT. His videos should be watched for entertainment mostly, for strategy and tactics i'd recomend other, more serious youtubers.

You misunderstood. Ranks above tier 10 are ranks 11, 12, etc. Those are not the serious ones. I started from rank 18 I think and I got to 10 within a day. After that it was hard. Ranks below 10 are 9, 8 etc. The First and Premiere Leagues are harder. Or perhaps my wording was not quite right here?

Ranks above 10 are not serious at all and full of, lets say it kindly, confused players with no idea.

As an US DD player, mainly, I've played games in Ranked with them. Its not that hard actually. Now try playing cruisers.

Sounds like battles at rank 11+. At rank 10 and below teams usually have at least 3 DDs on each side. Usually Kiev/Mahan/Blyska
