Can you elaborate this: Because I have no clue how I should test this or even comment on it since the ship's armour profile appears identical to the live version... EDIT: Tuccy answered it on the comment section of the article: Though, if you know that it is misworded, why not correct it?

Rant: Teamkiller status after 173 HP dmg

I didn't know that Flamu had another alternate account with a Kirov on it . -
..aaand Hood first week official results are out...
Kartoffelmos replied to 22cm's topic in General Discussion
Holy statistical nightmare, Batman! Meanwhile, from a more reliable source of statistics: The NA server was chosen since the EU one isn't updated. Since I'm such a smart potato person, I'll ignore both the small sample size (relatively speaking) and the fact that only one segment of the player base (effectively speaking) has had the opportunity to buy her and proclaim that the ship is overpowered. I mean, that's how it works, right? -
I've been on a break from 'Ships for some time and while you may see the occasional HE-spamming BB in some of the games played, getting at least one in every single game played is rather new. Or maybe I'm just missing the new meta...
-
The sad part about these missions is that I've seen a lot of battleships spamming HE in the (few-ish) games I've had this weekend...

The fact that you ask this question means that you shouldn't participate in any discussions regarding game balance.

Well, at least stop buffing the popular classes: Tirpitz is now the second most popular battleship . Without the buff, tier 8 battleship battle/player contribution would probably still be at the (too high) ~40 % mark, but this is just silly. Dev 1: We have too many battleships, what do we need to do about it? Dev 2: Buff battleships? Dev 1: Good idea, comrade! If we give them more tools, players will go to the other classes in order to not be too mainstream!

Well, I was right regarding higher tiers, but at lower tiers where the new French cruisers are inflating the battles, the result was more of a flood of cruisers. For instance, the tier 4 French cruiser has roughly twice the amount of battles as the next one on the list while the tier 5 and 6 is more in line with the rest. Having said that, the tier 5 has 43257 battles while Koenigsberg (second most popular) has 31458 battles. As such, the statistics at lower tiers (5 and below, possibly even 6 and below) cannot be said to represent the actual situation since we have yet to reach a balanced state with no "new line-syndrome". One may argue that player numbers is more accurate here since this does not take grinding and the popularity of the new line into account. Comparing the old table with this one confirms this, as the situation are almost identical at tier 7 and up (no noteworthy difference between battles played and amount of players if you look at the percentages). Will be interesting to see how this develops. For reference, the old table with distribution of players:

Whenever someone play a game in ship X, that ship get a player. The stats does not take into account (for better or worse) if ship A is played a lot more per player than ship B, but with enough people playing the ship, this should not matter. One can say that ships with small player numbers (like certain cruisers and premium ships) will inflate the total class distribution, but that does not change the overall picture. If anything, it makes the "BB-plague" seem less serious due to the low number of researchable battleships compared to that of cruisers (but again, I do not think this is a noticeable effect). I would love to use actual battle numbers instead, but doing that requires more effort due to the errr... not very user-friendly tables and... I was just too lazy to do that . Interestingly enough, the spike at tier 8 (regarding battleships) and tier 10 (regarding cruisers) are partly caused by the buff to Tirpitz/Shimakaze. Tirpitz is now second by players (previously not even among top three) while Shimakaze holds the top spot. Fletcher is following Friedrich at tier 9. This: EDIT: I used this one. Sorry, Marv . EDIT2: I will make a new one with battles, so stay tuned for that.

I'm just going to grace the thread with the latest statistics from the EU server: Nothing to see here, move along... EDIT: Source (should be obvious by now)

Battles played (or number of players if you like). You know, the same that has been discussed for quite some time now? If you had read my post properly, that would also be obvious. The fact that you bring XP into this (which don't differentiate between base and premium XP) makes your comment about apples and oranges extremely ironic as well. In any case, it's time for me to go to bed and I now see that there's nothing to be gained from this discussion in any case.

There's an influx of new players, you know...

Check the stats. At tier 4, battleships are in the top 3 (all three of the regular ones) during the last three weeks. At tier 3, battleships take the top two spots as well as spot number 4/5 during the last three weeks (St. Louis and Kolberg make up the remaining "top 5"-spots). At tier 5, two of the battleships are within the top 3 (with a very convincing lead on the number one spot) during the last three weeks. Since we now know that battleships hold the top spots in players (feel free to do the same for battles, but that is too much work for something as trivial as this, especially since the total number of battles and total players show roughly the same trend between low-tier cruisers and battleships) and that tier 1-2 have a low amount of players in comparison (your own words, but feel free to prove your point), the only conclusion is that the amount of different cruisers result in the higher number of players. Even if tier 1-2 have a not insignificant amount of players, the cause is still that the cruisers have more choices/models (no battleships at these tiers). Happy now?

Last two months (EU): Class (low-tier) Players Battles CA/CL 41780 4518290 BB 32952 3313800 Again, well done. Who would have though that more options would result in more diversity?
-
Tier 4 and 5 then: BBs: 9 (still not including Arkansas Beta and the Kongo clones) CAs/CLs: 13 (still not including some unpopular/rare prems and the French line) Not sure how that is helping your case, but oh well...
-
And where did I imply that only tier 1-3 were relevant? Now, try to include tier 4-5 as well. Wait, I'll even do it for you: BBs: 15 (not including all the Kongo clones for obvious reasons) CAs/CLs: 34 (not including a bunch of premiums and the new French line) Well done.
-
How many low-tier cruisers are there in comparison to low-tier battleships? Please also include tiers 1-3. Now, once you have figured that out, consider that people also "play for fun" and not only grind their highest tiered ship. There's your answer.

I quite like it that you get stuck to island in comparison to how you "slide off" ships. It makes beaching (player mistake/poor situational awareness) more punishing.

Discussion thread for "some interesting info around the world"
Kartoffelmos replied to Deamon93's topic in General Discussion
Too bad, since the (unconfirmed) leaked info suggests that the grind will only allow you to participate in a lottery for the camouflage... Seems like somebody took notes from WG EU during the Kamikaze R event. On the other hand, Tirpitz camouflages were handed out during the Christmas convoys, but then again, Bismarck isn't a ship that you have paid for with real money/doubloons. -

Kartoffelmos replied to Deamon93's topic in General Discussion
Regarding the Tirpitz, I'm not really against the buff itself (though did she really need it?), but I find the timing to be pretty silly. I guess it's just one step in WG/Lesta's grand plan to make battleships less popular. It will nonetheless be hilarious if Bismarck gets nerfed at a later stage... As for the new (unreliable) information about the new campaigns, I highly dislike the RNG-nature of it, especially since you cannot repeat the entire thing until you get the reward. Oh well, will be interesting to see how people will react to it if it goes live (or if the information is accurate at all).
