Which should be obvious because if it wasn't true everyone would be at 50% win ratio. Also, it would SUCK, because it would make my teams weaker just because I win more? Untill I start wining less, then I get better team members? Why would I play a game like that??

So watch streams not youtube and suddenly you can't claim he's just putting up very limited and preselected content. And yes, in WoWs you CAN focus down threats if you get a team which listens to you when you point out there is a dangerous guy on enemy team. That works with everyone, heck I even know there are people who like focusing me whenever I meet them, though I don't think it's because I'm such a good player

Maplesirop can show how many unique player ID's have played with a ship I believe, which would include everyone who has a certain ship and who played it during the time you're looking at, and who has not hidden his account.

Single torp, yeah off course. Now imagine 5 shima's per team all launching 15 20km torps down the map corridors. It wasn't fun even when I'm still a bit mad I didn't unlock Shima in time.

They can admit it and NOT change it, just pull it from the stores. But that's also not very PR friendly I guess. I am not sure why they keep claiming it's balanced, probably because the silver ship is also really good and they think the differences between them are to small to call Belfast broken and keep Fiji as is? I have no issues with Fiji, it's a good damage dealer but lacking the excellent concealment + radar means it's way less influential.

Doesn't work like that at all, random distribution doesn't ensure you always have your 'mirror' on the enemy team

I don't play a lot of tier X no.. but I have no issues playing two games in each during this event, that's still only 10 games in total for me ( 5 tier X's here ). Should I feel bad because WG 'forces' me to play 10 games if I want to receive free stuff/goodies?

They can't. And they don't want to directly nerf Belfast since last official word on that ship was that they didn't feel it was overperforming ( let's pull KA from store right, but not OPFast ).

^^ I'm pretty sure I fell a couple of times when intoxicated, I always thought I was walking to close to the edge

Which is why this change can not be used as nerf to Belfast. If they wanted to nerf Belfast with visibility changes in smoke, this penalty should be as big as it's radar range at least and it isn't because they used a fixed formula taking into account existing base concealment.

There is a news item on local news here about an elderly home with lots of casualties due to heat ( probably ) since AC went down with the power. I do hope this isn't his family as those circumstances just make the loss even worse. I am not in a position to help him out sadly, but hopefully he'll land on his feet. Those millions were promised to me, I payed 20k to liquidate those funds so they could be transferred to my account

No.

They can't 'balance' Belfast through smoke changes, it's the least affected ship due to slotting radar as well. If you get spotted firing in your smoke it's the same as you getting spotted normally, you press your magic 'HA I see you now' button and act accordingly.

C'mon, CA role it to have heavier hiting guns that is why CL's have better concealment and CA's have better concealment as baby... wait what? They have WORSE concealment as babyboats? You serious?

If you're REALLY bad then yes, your RN CL's will be bad after the change. But most people who like RN CL's kinda already know to keep looking at the minimap right? If you have some situational awareness, these spotting ranges are perfectly workable. Do you need to make sure you won't get rushed or if you do, you know from where so you can drop some fishes, yeah you kinda do. But didn't you do that before as well?

+1. this might also help explaining this -> I take my Tashkent to the same side as the Yugumo because he needs to spot for me. I am of no use on another flank to act as 'scout'. I'm not a scout, I'm a hunter. Maybe I would even take my Yugumo and join the Yugumo on the other flank because enemy has two fletchers and I feel they will split up allowing me and the other Yugumo a 2:1 fight. So what other flank has no spotting, if we take out one of their DD's it's well worth it. edit: it's bad for survival rate if you go try and push enemy DD's on a flank who still have full support, and those DD's have ~3km better concealment ( 8.2km on Taskent without CE ). It's bad for survival rate to run into a Fletcher with a Yugumo ( can win, but ... yeah risky ). DD roles are a lot more diverse as: you noob DD go spot and cap.

We actually have numbers right... which tell us the average amount off DD's at tier X was around 2 per game recently. It's not 'bad' now, it was bad with 20km shima torps spam but recently numbers say DD's aren't played that much. 4 is a good number imho :)

1 year old content has to be searched for, can't expect WG to index all patch notes. I am pretty sure it's in the wiki though. 99% at least.

If he did he had a strange way of saying it Reading it back you might be right, I actually hope you are as the post did appear out of character for him :D I'll edit my post a bit ;)

WHAT???? WHAT????? We have population numbers, no need to 'speculate' and feed the babies bs which makes them cry harder :D edit: due to post below this one I might realize a bit to late I'm just misreading this

No one wants 5x shima's. Or 5x Kebab's. But I have no issues with 2 Kebab's and 2 shima's. And would still be LESS populous as battleships currently ( depending on tier, probably not applicable to tier X as there were on average 4 there? ). But hey, that's only said like 5 times already in this thread, better just keep repeating how to many DD's are as bad as to many BB's.

Look at those lines man, that booty is to good to give up. Don't tell they are twins, if you can't see how this booty is better as the other booty which might look the same for the casual observer, I can't really help that now can I. Let me just assure you that to the trained eye, Haruna has more to offer then all her sisters combined... well actually all off them would be pretty epic.. but ahh well

He has my sincere condolences.

Haruna or go home

I don't think he's a baby, he actually plays Shimakaze and doesn't suck in it But yeah, 4-5 DDs is far from as meta dictating as 5 battleships every game. He also once said he didn't want less battleships as his average damage would go down :P
