Thank you guys for these events, I'm a regular on all the mentioned channels so I will definitely drop by.

Ranked battles seem fun to me so far. 3 matches- 3 wins A lot better chat bevaiour and even teamplay- I will certainly keep playing this made and see if my first impressions last.

Ein Date mit Quickybaby? Ne im Ernst, ein Release-Hafen mit Fähnchen und/oder Feuerwerk wäre schon nett gewesen. Ich finde das Spiel genial und genieße es, aber jetzt das R-Wort zu benutzen, das ist zumindest eine schwache Marketing-Leistung. Es wurde ja schon mehrfach gesagt und ich denke auch, dass, wenn man schon den Release ankündigt, man auch dafür sorgen sollte, dass die ganze Community und vor allem jede Menge Noobklatschopfer, sorry, neue Spieler andächtig vor dem rechner sitzen und 'nen geilen Tag in WoWS haben. Bei aller Sympathie für das Spiel- davon sind wir weit entfernt.

I'm usually not into whining, but a "release-port" with flags and fireworks or something like that would have been nice. Ok, the ranked battles are here and so far I'm enjoying them but honestly- apart from that you wouldn't even notice that something has changed at all.

Well I loved the Minekaze in CBT as well as in OBT and I had some of the most amazing games in it- yet to be fair and regarding the fact that other players should have fun in this game as well (I know, I know ) this nerf is much needed. The Minekaze as it is is just the ship equivalent of an F-22 Raptor and especially battleship captains know they will eat torps sooner or later when Minekazes are around. True, many battleship captains don't play smart but honestly, we are talking tier 3 and upwards here and i honestly don't think the smart maneuvering, using 6th sense and map awareness are or should be common to tier 3, 4 and 5 BB captains. Some of us might have these skills but hey, many of us played hundreds if not thousends of CBT battles, right? We all don't like changes to our favourite toy but I really think that the more balanced a game is, the more fun players have consistently and the more players keep playing the game. We're still in open beta and I appreciate Wargaming acting much more responsively to player feedback. It is still beta time and the balancing should be done properly now so certain WoT balancing fails are avoided (KV-2 on tier 5 anyone). Regarding the US DDs well they needed some love and I think stressing their special abilities instead of making all DDs the same is a good idea. I actually like the AA hull idea- I have set up my Mutsuki as AA destroyer by means of the second hull and mounting the AA range upgrade and I had some stunning results in it. The difference however is that the Mutsuki does not really trade guns vs. AA as its guns are awful and you don't miss two of them

I agree with seedling on this one. The two fighter squads/ one DB squad setup is pretty much useless xp-wise at the moment, since protecting your teammates from air attack is underrewarded. In addition I have the feeling that if you can't do serious damage and/ or sink enemy ships, you're not pulling your weight for the team. Most of the time it is more important to take ships out quickly than shooting down aircraft IMO. I had some good results with the 2 DB/ 1 Torp setup but as seedling said, DBs are very much pure RNG and when I attack with both squadrons on average I score 2 bomb hits, which is just enough to sink very low health targets. One advantage that this setup has however is that is it well suited for self defense- the DBs have very good turnaround times and especially when the threat is near you can throw them at your target again and again. The torpedo bombers deliever the punch that we carrier captains like so much but you've only got 9 in total, so if you lose your 1st group you're left with 3. And that sucks Your best bet is to strike relatively close targets so you can lure enemy fighters into your AA which is quite effective on the Bogue indeed. With the 1 fighter/ 1 torp setup you can at least protect your torp bombers and I had good results with this setup more consistently than with the other two.
