There was a topic about it too, we already agreed that a decrease of the player base after the initial release is normal, same as smaller increases with big patches and new content. I also don't like the overpriced bundles, but if you need bundles to play a game you are probably playing the wrong game. I have fun pew pewing ships, not because i NEED a certain ship to have fun.

Anyone who knows what premium ships are for, need to retrain commanders or make credits ;) There is no room for fanboysm in here.

That means nothing. The Fletcher was build starting in 1941, it was used until 1970 and the last one from the Mexican Navy in 2001! Some Cleveland class cruisers again in the 70s. Navy ships usually have a long life, especially when they are refitted and eventually updated. And as other people told you, it's not a post war design. And it's heavily influenced on early war italian design even.

This was my first battle, just few minutes ago. I will try to play some more on it, hopefully with a team that speaks english and actually try to coordinate like this last one did.

The focus have been on fixing the armor related stuff and some other glitches as you might have seen somewhere else. Personally i don't need the smoke to aim, and i find it to be a lower priority bug compared to what was going on with the armor. Now that one is fixed and i am sure this bug will be fixed quickly as well

Looks alright here

Doesn't vbaddict take stats only from dossiers uploaded? So from people using their uploading tool?

I honestly don't think you can compare WoWS with planes. There is no real competition either as of yet, while World of Warplanes already had War Thunder that, at least on planes, is doing a decent job.

Bugs are part of every software As long as there is a team fixing them as soon as possible i think we'll all be fine.

155mm guns have been overperforming either way. If, by using the 203mm, you can damage better where the 155mm can't anymore, i would call it a good thing. Regardless of having less cannons and refire with the 203mm setup.

I never said i don't. I said that, to base my contribution to the battle, i don't look at the number of kills but the damage i dealt. Anyone can shoot one last HE shell at a dying ship and get the kill, can they all equally bring down a lot of health from the enemy ships? Most likely not. Taking out some firepower from the enemy team is a smart thing to do, you should always go for ships you can get rid of in a short time, may it be because they are on low health or because you can easily citadel hit them for example. However, too many players, just like on WoT, see the number of kills as a way of measuring their "e-[edited]". Or they start playing bad because they are too focused on that and ignore other events in game. And 4 battles is not that long, i did it on my first battle while i was doing the double for the t4 russian DD.

Every patch the usual "i played x and i didn't kill stuff with it, wtf WG secret nerfs russian bias hackers CV OP, CV needs a buff, BBs OP, torpedoes OP, everything's OP"

What others said. In general kills means nothing to me, damage is more interesting. As for the mission, getting two kills in a battle shoudn't really be difficult. You'll be more lucky next time perhaps.

Something was changed about it. If the balance team thinks they need to change it more, they will. No big deal.

I don't know, i always saw life rafts and other smaller details, same for AA and secondaries moving and range finders too (if you checked the right option). Are you sure you are running WoWS at the same level of detail you were before the patch?

In details, what are you talking about?

I think for both experience and credits what you want to play is tier 5, sometimes 6 too.

Oh, but i agree with you. The point is that this is nothing new from them. They did the same on World of Tanks (even tho it wasn't this extreme) and they are still there. Bundles per se didn't change their playerbase, if anything competition did with War Thunder (No big success there tho) and Armored Warfare (so far in the hype period of time, we'll see in some months). We think about it like this but the majority of people (which i remind you don't even get in the forum, they do get in the premium shop you can be sure of it) is still happy to pay such prices. Another line of thought is that, being a free to play game, they can still afford to have these kind of models because what brings money on them is not the old player but the new ones. And the games are all built and based around a healthy change of players every now and then. Would they really change a bundle when said bundle annoys a player but 2-3 more buy it instead and are happy about it? I don't think so

I am looking forward for the ship too. When it's offered by herself without anything else tho. So i'll just wait for it to happen.I am sure WG has their own reasons for doing bundles instead of lower price offerings with only the ship, they are a business and they are here for the money. And i don't think they make such decisions without having done a deep analysis on what is going to be more convenient for them.

It's a non issue.

As you might know, balance is an ongoing task all the time. If a ship performs badly, it will receive a buff. Same for nerfs. There can be historical reasons too, but in the end it's the balance that needs to come in. Did you notice for example how german CAs at high tiers usually have a better range?

Because balance is not about comparing a single gun, especially not a single gun of different classes. It's about taking account of different strongpoints and weaknesses. Ignoring the fact that you don't always get full damage, since it's lowered by armor they meet, who do you think is going to prevail if they are firing to each other? A DD with a low firing rate and less health and even armor, or a cruiser with more health, more guns with higher refire?

I answered to his "who would play germans blablabla with such damage".It's a poor analysis the one he made.

wait to see the tier 4

Who would? Probably the one with a working brain that, instead of whining, also takes into account the health a cruiser has against a DD, the number of guns, the range and so on. Crazy, right?
