It was never a Problem, right?

Wait what? You sure you're not talking about @Smolensk_ReportBlacklist ? While I enjoy my Colbert with the ceaseless golden shower of premium ammo much more at the moment, I used to play a lot of Smolenk, when it still was dirty OP with all the destroyer gun skills...

Well, if in a knife fight with a DD, I'd think it stupid that a CV should not be able to damage itself when he misses with his drops. On the other hand denying the enemy the therapeutic effect of murdering a CV is probably a capital offense, anyway only cowards and griefers do this. So my solution to this dilemma is to simply remove CVs from the game.

Will you look at that beautiful trash floatsam in it's full glory?

Looks good, right? What's wrong with that picture? Replay attached: 20220927_212037_PFSC510-Colbert_16_OC_bees_to_honey.wowsreplay

But the game has a minimap? And rocks? Because it's a arcade game? Nice how you never reacted on the explanations on why you ....are a bad player.

Depending on the ship, it works. I use it on Shikishima, for great justice. Got it after the secondary rework, didn't look back. Incomparable, too...

Playing low tiers isn't helpful in my opinion, as tier 10 is a different beast entirely - unless you're entirely overwhelmed by the sheer amount of different possible playstyles. Worse, even, because at tier 4 rushing into a cap, sitting in your smoke might even work. Just consider that thread about the unicum division who only clubbed seals at tier 1. They have no clue about anything. Also especially british CL are a pain in the stern when uptiered, playing these is an excercise in self mutilation. Anything else, I agree.

First let me state that secondaries suck. It's the worst gameplay imagineable, it literally requires zero skill. You can fall face first on the W key, with a stroke, and still deal damage. And many times the 'secondary' ships are indeed played in this manner. Second, crap secondaries, are a mainstay of the arcade game. This is what enables light cruisers or DDs to compete with ships that basically have two or three times their firepower strapped to each side in addition to their main guns. Third, basically all secondaries are already included in the balancing. If you want to buff secondaries, you need to nerf them by say, increasing main battery reload times. Anyone who doesn't recognize this is just a laughable BBaby apologist. When I still was a potato with delusions of grandeur, I also imagined charging into the fray with my Kurfurst, the secondaries blowing enemy DDs out of the water left and right. But that's bovine excrement, to be honest.

Nope. Way, way worse. In ranked you can stick with your own CV, use your insane length as a reef against torp bombers, that's all the enjoyment you can get out of that game.

I believe you think you are a great player who contributes. But in reality you're, let's politely call it, a very bad player and you do not. You play hyper agressive and once in a blue moon the stars align and it works out, the rest of the time you get blapped in the first minutes because you have no clue about positioning, radar, other ships capabilities. Your aim and prediction is terrible. But since you experienced the stars aligning and you killing one or two enemies, you're trying to archieve this again and again, but you don't realize that the skill level of your enemies and simple luck also has an influence. And then you have the audacity to talk trash about your team because they don't suicide rush right into the cap with you? They might not be stupid, did that thought ever occur to you? Maybe you're doing something wrong? It's not the one who caps first wins, it's the one who caps last after killing all the enemies! Removing the enemy DD on a flank is a very powerful opener. The enemy is blind and they're getting harassed by torps, you can go dark almost at will. Losing your DD early almost always means losing a flank when you can't radar the enemy DD or he potao. THIS is why you lose. In any ship. You get yourself killed early by your atrocious playstyle, leaving either your flank short their DD or incapable of supporting your DD. I understand your frustration, but you're the cause of it yourself - YOU are the burden on your team, not the other way around! So get your act together and at least shut the up, even when your team manages to play worse than you do, which is basically impossible. At most it's single players. Do watch some youtube videos about the basics and about the ships you intend to play and try to emulate. Please note that they usually don't rush into the cap right away.

Arguably yes. Fun untill CVs.

Well. How shall I put this. It's the same with Schlieffen... some players sure profit from not having to manually aim their guns.

Ok. Now consider the skill level of the average submarine player in randoms. I mean, they balanced the whole class around these utter potatos, just how dumbed down do you think the operations need to be? See? For me it's a thumbs up, because if the operations don't cause frustration, we might see fewer of them in randoms.

This. Your best armor is the concealment. That is why prolonged engagements - the sniping meta - aren't Incomps forte and why CVs are such a hard counter.

This. How CVs, supershits and submersible scum made smolensk a happy memory...

Derp charge plane on submarine? IIRC they also count as aircraft kills....

I see you and raise you a Druid. (or a Smalland, Vampire II, Daring, Ragnar, Kleber etc.) But yeah, some tier IX are better, add Yugumo to the list - if you play it with balls instead of smoke.

Abuse your atrocious shell ballistics and hide behind an island?

THIS! Just beg your smoke of the next DD like a true clochard. Smoke is concealment. Islands are COVER. Especially if you can abuse your atrocious shell ballistics and lob them over the hill while your balans enemy can do nothing. (But then, I have hope for a tier 11 Petro with a top sekrit paper doodle design for a laser gun, he may be able to shoot right through.)

They tell about their intent to remove ships, right? I have the steel for one of the boats but I can't deceide. But if they're going to remove burger, I'd probably hop on the bandwaggon. Stalingrad... ah, probably too boring. Any new steel (or coal, for that matter) ships on the horizon?

Drape a flag over it and do it for the motherland? Sorry, that thing is eye cancer inducing, my well honed aesthetic sense forbids any interest in that butt ugly spawn of the deepest ship designer hell. It's basically the Fiat Multipla of WoWs.
