If you thought games were full of DDs before, just wait after this patch. Single TB squads gets focused and killed, even more long range AAA just ensures they will die, and then you get to drop entirely ineffective bombs. Which is why having two gives Essex/Midway ok damage for the ships they are. After this they'll be pointless to bring into a battle. WG utterly screwed up USN CV flight decks even during CBT, and this will reduce all of them into stupid moronic simplistic and straight out no fun to play air superiority decks. CVs will entirely cease to be a counter to BBs. And the result? Shimakazes, All of them. Nothing else will be worthwhile to counter BBs.

And to have that many pearls now, you would have to have done some weeklies twice already.

Why not reduce the value of CA/CLs even more? Not like people are crying bitter tears because DDs have become so common. So with less of a reason to play one of the classes of ships usable to counter then, I'm sure you'll see even less DDs..... somehow.

Not only didn't OP take any evasive manouvers, being far too interested in scoring kills, he took the one manouver that ensured the CV would hit with the entire spread. Dropping speed and turning into them, would have halved the damage he took. Better yet taking action far earlier.

The OP does indeed get kicked a lot. By his mother.

Do you know what an actual insult is? Telling someone they're "insulting" people with no actual basis. The only insult here is you making such an accusation instead of addressing actual issues. Now try to keep this on topic instead of needlessly going personal.

And that's the point. People cherry pick things to demand should be realistic in game just to have an excuse to cry for nerfs of buffs while ignoring other issues that aren't realistic that would hurt them. So what's your point in arguing against me? P.S Learn what the word "insult" means. Here's a tip, it does not mean pointing out your faulty argumentation, lies or biased opinions.

No, you're just stating how they dominate ranked games and that things should be done to change that. But you're not asking for anything to be done, ye.. sure. No demands for nerfs at all... Your attempt to hide your desires and intentions is pretty poor. And it's absurdly dishonest of you to claim otherwise. Also you seem to have a confused idea that using "realism" and "history" haven't been spewed over and over as excuses to demand nerfs of buffs for a year now. But sadly for you, that weak (and as in this case, often entirely put on its head where you ignore the heavy implications it would have for your prefered ships) we can call an "argument", just to be nice to you, is very much the same things we've seen thrown around since early beta. And this is very much related to CVs, since they are the best counter to the stealthier DD types, but the SAME STUPID "arguments" you're using here were part of the ones used to get them nerfed. So both is it relevant in pointing out the unforseen consequences of such nerf-cries, but it's also relevant because the lack of them is the only thing making them as powerful as they are currently. And even then, most damage BBs receive is STILL FROM OTHER BBs. So if the damage they do is OP, when it comes from ships that are supposed to counter them, then what the hell is BB damage?

And that's what we kept telling the same sort of people like the OP who kept asking for CVs to be nerfed into oblivion and made irrelevant for ranked. But instead of taking that to heart, they just want to turn the nerf-threadmill around a bit more.

So you want something with historical basis that is realistic. Fine, let CVs launch all their planes at once, and send all of them in attacks. Let your BB handle 100 planes coming down on you all at once. Or lets nerf BBs in ranked so hard that the most important feature of any ship not a BB is "can you defeat BBs". For example, by giving them historical and realistic hit rates and reducing them to their historical use of mostly being there to give even more AAA cover to CVs. Oh wait, would that make ranked fun? Of course, your complaint isn't that DDs are "gods", is that you're not automaticly one just by sitting in a BB.

HAHAHAHAHA! Really, I'm not sure anyone would be able to take you serious after such a comment.

It's perfectly in line with your failed (and regurgitaded) "arguments". Here's a tip, what you posted was "opinion", nothing more. Fact of the matter is, no weapon in the game is as easy to avoid as DD torpedoes. Your lack of skill in that matter, is not relevant to their overall damage and effectiveness.

You failed. To expand. The "common rubble" are people throwing out conclusions based on extremely narrow and limited experience against things they cannot handle. So what are you?

Cammo isn't makeup.

Cap the number of BBs, and you'll see the number of DDs dropping at once. As it is, by design they want CAs and DDs to be the most common class, and not like it's been for ages, BBs.

WG implements such a banlist Everyone sticks OP into it He can't play Ye, ok. Deal.

lawyer.. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHA!

It merely increases your range. Which means you get entirely unworkable shell travel times with both AFT and the range module.

smoke on the water

Yes, why on earth would you bring the ship with massive armour and HP to the front to tank damage? MADNESS!!!

No, but that's the effect it would have on the game. Do try to read.

No, ranked (and the game in general) needs to be less easy for BBs. People play DDs to counter BBs, who can't be countered by CVs at that rank (in the current state of the game, CVs are a major DD counter even) and while a BB might be able to get dropped fairly rapidly by multiple CAs focusing it, that's far less likely to happen in ranked. CAs don't really have many tools for defeating DDs unless you have a CV or friendly DD to spot, and are way too easily killed off by BBs. Thus asking to have DDs nerfed, directly or indirectly, is just another round in the "nerf everything that threathens BB hegemony" roundabout, and does nothing to address the real balance problems.

You need to check the dates of such claims. As it where, many people dishonestly claimed that WG "approved" the mod while it actually worked in CBT, while their actual stance was "we're monitoring it to see how it affects the game" before they disabled it altogether. At which point noone noticed that it was gone more or less.

So given the numbers provided, this clearly is a rare occurance relatively speaking.

speed 55 - 49 knots speed launchers 3x4 - 2x4 damage 11600 - 8500 rpm 0.7 - 0.8 range 9.2 - 9.2 "Same" doesn't quite fit that comparison. Mahan puts more fish in the water, that does more damage, and has a lot better chance of actually hitting.
