I think from the low 40s to anything below is a problem for me personally, particularly higher tier games and high games counts. There are a lot of these I think. They drag people down when they're your top tier and try talking sense into them, most of them won't have it, they're stuck that way and the fault lies with everyone else. So yes, it would be interesting to see how a split mm would work in this regard, probably not so well. Probably be better to sentence prolonged poor performers to coop mode. That way the bots can play the bots. I'd give a dime to watch a live stream of that.

Space battles were once an original concept, now they are stagnant and no longer appealing to me. Rewards for playing them are abysmal so what exactly is the point? For a longer more drawn out game where you are rewarded far less than a random game playing for a far shorter period of time? Maybe there are not enough of us in this player-base to warrant more frequent and exciting stuff and which doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Maybe WG have lost interest in keeping their players interested with more sincere offerings which could please both parties.

I know, it's not hard to make a decision of this nature one way or the other. This isn't life or death, it's not rocket science, its the type of decision a baby could do with both hands tied behind their back, blindfolded, deafened, etc. Yet WG make it so hard, lol. Not even 'we're having a problem folks'...nope, simply nothing.

Now more convinced than ever WG have totally screwed this game up with the cv's. It was always make or break, but they've totally screwed the proverbial pooch now. I go into a game in my Haida, 2 cv's per team. The tier 8 brit cv spots me early and rockets me to death in 3 runs. Their two cv's annihilated all three of our dd's in 3 minutes. Game over. Thank you WG, thank you for this. It's an absolute joke.

WG's communication quality is on the wane again, they cannot seem to maintain a relatively reasonable standard, must be hard to officially post simple information like this a little earlier, especially after how many weeks late? Its terrible service, not that they would realize this, they'd somehow switch it around to us being the ungrateful fools no doubt.

Of course I agree with this, but no-one is asking any community manager to guess anything. I don't feel hype with this at all, I feel resentment because they are withholding such simple information for no apparent meaningful reason. I get the distinct feeling its being treated like it's some sort of decision. Talk about making a mountain of a molehill (on all fronts), but it's the principle that rattles me, there are delusions of grandeur at play here. Is it so hard just to tell us when a few containers will be released, really, so hard for someone to make an itsy-witsy tiny little decision about something like a container release date? My word, what is the world coming to when such silly little feedback takes so long to reach it's audience, lol.

I've played less and less to be honest, in fact last few days not even logged on. Just too many cv's.

Not anymore. I always buy a few here and there, it's the only bit of gambling I do tbh, haha. Guess I like the suspense but I only ever buy a few (unless a few more if Santa containers). For me the real issue is being treated like a second rate citizen in the sense that silly things like this which have no real significance in life are given the importance of massively significant trade secrets. It's this or just very poor customer relations and communication.

It's a little iincredible that there is still no-one able to tell us when they will be released. Have things got so bad at HQ? It's pathetic and disgraceful - this is information that is easily relayed to us but for some really odd, nonsensical reason they have to act like it's top secret stuff. They successfully killed any inclination I had to purchase a few of them, lol.

WG: ' and their overall weaker influence on the outcome of a battle' Relating specifically to sub tier 8 battles, how exactly does up to 3 carriers on each side have a weaker influence on the outcome of the battle eh WG? Please explain what you mean by this...are you referring to their low damage capabilities and forgetting about their spotting ability? No dd will ever be able to play their dd as a dd in this type of game. Apparently we're all idiots now.

When the containers finally arrive in accordance with WG EU Standard Time, which by the way means if you are in the northern hemisphere translates to '+whenever but we don't promise anything even though we say the words', and in the southern hemisphere translates to '+also whenever but only after the EU because your internet is slower'', then I think that the drop rate will most likely suck eggs. WG are timing this on a financial clock most likely.

Oh boy, I like what you're suggesting, but oh boy!!! Somethings coming.

Buff cv’s = uninstall for good

We all know playing cv's wont break the game, it's a false economy to think that way. It'll only give WG positive statistics reinforcing their view their CV overall is very popular and people are playing them more and more because of it. In fact, playing cv's more is a sure way to cement them in the game in their current form for a long long time. In a few words, totally counter-productive.

WTF is a 'tight equal game'? Does that answer your question?

Yes, and from now hence this weekend shall be known as 'The Great Let-down'.

I sincerely doubt this was the case, toxic people are everywhere but seldom the majority. WG cannot be so silly as to punish the majority for the actions of the few.

Hope so, I got it for free xp and although I've only played a few games in it I don't like how squishy it is..it's underwhelming in its current state imho. Should've researched popular opinion first before committing, now regret it.

It's not for free though...it's a reward to time spent playing and yes, they are nice additions to the game because they provide an element of excitement. I often play a game or two just to get a container or two, there is nothing left for me to grind and new lines are coming out slowly...so containers are space fillers between content release. But still not free.

What's wrong with the Salem and Jean Bart? I suspect you have your eye on another ship that isn't available for coal?

With todays meta I'd most likely say no to the Flint. I fear she's suffered from power creep too much. Collect her if you have spare steel by all means, but just because you may have one or two good games in her doesn't mean she performs consistently well. Getting up-tiered means horrible horrible games. Mine is hardly ever used.

You're trying to argue with an almost verifiable sock-puppet, his responses are mostly in opposition to anyone complaining about one thing or the other, his explanations are vague and non-specific and his rationale intensely abstract in many cases. Almost to counter anything from gaining momentum or to just muddy the water, haha. That's another interesting story though. You have to love people who offer very vague responses, like 'learn to play them' or 'cv's are fine in their current state', to anyone raising a concern one way or the other. It reminds me of the customer service agent I spoke with a few days ago when enquiring if I could use my current mobile package in the US and his response was 'if you don't use your phone you won't be charged'. While rather obviously true, it's an inappropriate offering to a valid question. Nevertheless, he is being retrained now and I've got some money in my account. Anyhow, most people offer responses based on personal preferences or in knee-jerk fashion instead of a mindfulness of whether there is real issue and checking. Works the same for people complaining after only playing a few games and assessing something as bad. Personally, I think WG have devolved gameplay with the new cv mechanics and now we're all stuck with it. I like cv's, but now I see them in almost every game, no matter the tier. DD gameplay is in the middle, they are designed for this, to spot, to cap. Stealth is their game, except it isn't anymore. DD's are now endangered from spotting by cv's, not to mentioned radar, hydro, etc. Now we're meant to huddle with the big ships? What's the point? And there are no fighters your own cv' can send to counter the enemy planes hovering over you. I'm struggling with my enthusiasm toward the game, I think it's over for me. Maybe time will tell.

Tier 7 is my favourite, or rather use to be. Haven't played that much lately at all though because of all the cv planes flying around. Game dynamic has changed and while I ironically enough embrace change now and then, the cv changes feel like one change too far so I just cannot seem to find any tier I'm happy with. It's hard going from a sudden 'I really enjoy playing this game' feeling to one of 'I think they've destroyed something with the last update and it affects how I feel about the game'.

You know, it gets really tiring seeing people try explain this all away as player choice....it shows a lack of fundamental understanding. While what you and others say can be true in some cases, and perhaps many, there is a dynamic in the game that does not relate to players actions or choices. Can you not see this? Why are you folks so stuck on a single simplistic view that it only relates to players actions........we all know reckless people get killed more easily and mistakes can be costly........ CV's are being played more, playing a dd is harder because you are now spotted more often...the area you need to play in as a dd is often the cap zone and spotting for your team, explicitly implying you need to be closer than your team... etc....you cannot learn to do this differently because these areas and dd mechanics do not change. Player actions only stretch so far in explaining this...obvious is obvious.

unsubstantiated and not true just because you say it is...and sailing along the map border away from the battle is not the point now is it? Your view is still overly simplistic. It's a little more complex than that.
