Actually Kolberg AP can make more damage against tier 3 BB's than HE. And i've got some citadels on Hermelin and Dresden. Not even one on Kolberg though.

I tried long and hard to think even one positive thought about the Karlsruhe. Here's what i've got now: THEY AVOIDED THE POWER CREEP! Pathetic, isn't it?

Do dzisiaj tak nie myślałem. Ale dzisiaj zagrałem Karlsruhe...

Nie, Karlsruhe jest dużo gorszy. Zwłaszcza zważywszy na MM. Sam Kolberg jest zły, ale głównie dlatego, ze ma kombinacje niskiego HP i niskiego DPM. Buff do HP, tak do 25000 rozwiązałby większość problemów. Nadal byłby gorszy niż St Louis ale już nie dwa razy gorszy.

Well, CA's start on T7 so i can't really say anything about them, but the low tiers... Holy crap, what WG did with those ships makes wehraboos right this time. Although the russian DD's seems crap too.

Do 4 jak na razie: 1. Hermelin - przesadziliście z nerfem zasiegu. Nie całkiem zły, ale wybitnie nieprzyjemny w graniu przez ten zasięg. 2. Dresden - jak długo trafia na tiery I i II jest ok. Wyżej już jest deptany jak karaluch przez St Louisy. 3. Kolberg - AP na wszystko. Swoją drogą ciekawe spostrzeżenie, że łatwiej jest tymi apekami uszkodzić na III i IV tierze pancerniki niż krążowniki - potwierdza się moja stara teoria, że pancerniki ten pancerz mają tylko dla picu. Zupełnie niewytłumaczalny jest kompletny brak balansu z St Louisem, ponad 1/3 większa ilość HP. St Louis jest w stanie rozjechać 2 Kolbergi ot tak. Ogarnięty gracz nawet trzy. Na szczęście MM teraz jest ok, więc trafiając na same Kolbergi u przeciwnika da się przejść te 8k xp. W przyszłości będzie za to ból, trafienie na Omahę albo Murmańska to czysta egzekucja. 4. Karlsruhe. Żeby się nie wnerwiać - weźcie to barachło i przenieście na 2 tier, bo tam jego miejsce.

I can say only to tier 4. Hermelin - Would be good but the range was overnerfed. On the worse side of so-so Dresden - Actually quite nice as long as it's not against tier 3. Kolberg - No citadels whatsoever, but HE does zero damage, so you shoot AP even at BB's. Fun fact - 3 and 4 tier BB's are apparently armored way worse than cruisers of that tiers, considering how easy is to damage them with 105mm AP shells. Overall quite bad ship, but passable quickly, especially now where there are lots of those in battles, so nice MM is quite common. WARNING - do not fight 1 vs 1 with St Louis, it is worth 2 Kolbergs. Karlsruhe - Jesus. No, just no. Instantly went on the first three of worst ships ever. I cant find even one friggin good side to this ship. None. GTFO on 2 tier where you belong.

Of course they will put Arkhangelsk in the russian tree. Also, hilarious but hardly possible (due to Warspite): HMS Malaya, the only really premium battleship

Later as in later, or later like in Ectar's "later"?

Yes, but they may make the Admiral class and Hood as only example could be premium. Or they can name the class Hood and that's it. Fine by me either way. Or maybe this HMS Hood Furious would be good, as i like weird designs but would need serious fantasy buff to be playable. Agincourt would be also nice as a premium. Orion, if it won't make as the main tree class.

Yes, it replaced Kamikaze in game files. So it's basically slightly worse Minekaze.

Considering entire halloween is basically aimed at children, no wonder. I get you tho, there is slight difference between modded skins visible only to the player who installed them and the official camo. But considering the range and size of that ship, it wouldn't be very noticeable in game anyway.

It's apparently just reskin of the unreleased Kamikaze destroyer (also, replaced Kamikaze in game files). So, slightly worse Minekaze, if anyone is interested about that.

It's like Godwin's law for warships. The probability of mentioning Bismarck vs Hood rises in every thread But the emotions! No, he don't. You too. There is slight difference between light cruisers and capital ships.

I don't even want it for that price. And surely not in bundle. The less people buys that, the better.

Its irrelevant anyway, as it is not me who want this to work, it is Wargaming. Can you imagine total overhaul of most mechanics NOW? Because it would require it. WG said 1 slot = 1 slot. 1 ship = 1 ship. BB = DD. At least potentially, but that's what they aim to achieve. Right now it is more or less implemented, although there are still serious issues, like OP carriers (mostly fixed), DD being unbalanced both at lower and upper tiers, RNG festival for BB's, mindless HE spam for cruisers and so on and on. The main cause is that as you said those classes cannot be balanced so easily without ridiculous crap going on. No, WG knew this also, hence they considered the slot MM system at first, but i think they dropped it because few reasons, main is that the balancing would be even more nightmarish than it is now (is that cruiser is worth exactly 2 destroyers, or maybe 2,5 and so on), plus players would feel even more shafted. What i mainly meant is that you planned to make the worst current crap in this game, namely repair cost to punish players more depending on their preference of class. In the current system, which includes punishing players with the triple grind and enter fee for a battle, it would be cruelly unfair.

Hermelin - nice, but it's range could be 9,5 - 10km. Right now it's hard to come into range and not lose half HP in the process, Dresden - shells fly long time, but it's not bad at those ranges, especially that AP can score citadels fairly easy against tier I and II Kolberg - theoretically similar to Dresden but it's damn awful. Shells fly like on Cleveland with half the Cleveland range. And they don't do any meaningful damage. Citadels are impossible. God have mercy on anyone who encounter tier 4 ship in this crap. only good side is speed and agility. But seriously, this is first ship in game where RoF is not very useful. I have the very bad feelings about the Karlsruhe. Good i have lot of XP flags left. Edit: I just met Kolberg 1 vs 1 on my Murmansk. No victory before felt that bad, it was like burning ants with magnifying glass (and i'm not usually feel anything like this even in case of one-sided massacre). And it was in his range.

Agreed, most fun of all tier I ships.

And if he didn't go, you would accuse him of not knowing what he writes about? He gone there, said it is not fun for him and he came back. Simple. No, it is not. Unless you say about not getting focus fired and sunk as "challenging". It is not, it is just boring because of range increase comparing to lower tiers and in combination with borked economy it creates long campfests and rewards for passive cowardly playing. Or rather, not rewards, but punishes less. No. The same reasons why they dropped slot system MM: - If battleship would be worth 4 destroyers, it should also be 4 times as powerful - Ships are unbalanced as they are already and they are supposed to be roughly equal (minus roles ofc), different repair costs would imply making deliberate rebalance in power also. Otherwise it would be simply unfair. it is actually already slightly unfair, comparing the ship costs. Why not drop the repair costs altogether (with balance to earnings to maintain the grind). But nooo, they had to go in opposite direction, making absurd play fee to undamaged ships in addition to any maintenance costs. As it is going there, no higher tiers for me and i hope the 9-10 playerbase to be as small as possible, to just hit those WG blockheads so maybe they will drop this ridiculous punishing triple grind system. Not disagreeing with this, but making the already bad economy even worse for BB players would remove the problem in bad way. Even the arbitrary mechanical limiting of BB numbers would be way better. Although i would be absolutely ok if DD and CA earned more if the repair costs would be dropped for all classes.

Idk about when they will come (i doubt the monday), but: - Tone, japanese tier VII heavy cruiser - Błyskawica, polish tier VI destroyer - Imperator Nikolai I, russian tier IV battleship Ofc. expect outrageous bundles as usual

Hmm...

There are lot of points of dividing ships by tier. Fortunately, making people free frags just because of normal matchmaking (as opposite to WoT) isn't one of them. And then somebody cry and moan about them, effectively adding to the occurence he is dissatisfied with. Not going to happen realistically, if it would, it would happen long time ago in WoT. And especially now, when WG apparently concluded that the quick cash grabs on "rare" pixels product tying is more favorable for them than the constant, long term selling with occasional discounts. On a side note, WG must love OP, Tirpitz, Atago, Warspite, Ishizuchi, Murmansk, Atlanta.

That is one of the best point of WoWs! I was absolutely sick of WoT "balance" when often even one tier higher tank was almost invulnerable, not even mentioning two tier difference.

PvE definitely needs some love. It's appaling how little attention and work it gets from WG.

That's terrible lack of trust. Excatly my thoughts
