Don't assume things, try them out. Win rate is rather disappointing for the damage inflicted

Funny thing though is, it even happens in 12 v 12 battleship games. Seems most battleship players do already expect mines randomly..

You must be new .. I mean old around here... There has long been seperation from news posts and discussions, the latter have their own thread. The 'Interesting news from world' thread ( yeah, someone forgot a 'the' there ) is quite clean.

Depends, I actually expect more ships not finding their W key because the area in front might be mined :) And yeah dropping mines in front off allies would only not change anything if WG turned off friendly damage

Yes. But look closer. All it misses is the eye... WG = EVIL confirmed™

Their captain's voice is making me play better It's bs off course, they are identical ships. Must be the little weeb part in me which makes a difference :)

I can't see which is more recent, it just gives total battles and average performance. As to divisions, WG already said they are part of the game and they will never remove them. Lots of people I know wouldn't even play or play a lot less if they did that. Individual ship balance however is something they always look at, and it makes sense. If you don't make ships balanced they will destroy the meta. There is a reason why they don't want to directly nerf Belfast -> it's premium and it's still for sale. By limiting her overperformance through changing game mechanics is much 'safer'. If you have troubles finding people to play with, join the WG teamspeak or look at the SCRUBS recruitment topic ( you don't have to join but it has channel info of the ingame chat from our community ). Failing that, or having a preference to not lick windows, there is a community discord server, and many other initiatives. The excuse of not finding people to play with is just that, an excuse, since if you invest a little effort this problem is very easy to solve. edit: btw you might not perform extremely well in Belfast compared with some of your recents, but that is YOU. You're not that important, it's server average and that clearly shows a bias towards Belfast vs other tier 7 cruisers except Flint.

One thing to note though, low tier maps are much more balanced in open areas vs islands. If you mainly play low tiers it's pretty reasonably to assume you find the map rotation more pleasureable.

I just see potential for trolling. And no, I'm not looking forward to the effects of mines in random battles

He seems convinced there are 4-5 DD's per side in high tier games, he keeps repeating that everywhere :/

@MrConway could you please next time include a link in the post itself so we don't have to navigate to opening post. It's not big 'problem' ( first world problems best problems ) but it does make it easier. I included Kandly's previous post to illustrate

You can repeat whatever you want but it's pretty obvious, your 55% Belfast does 50% more damage as your Yorck, your Schorsh and w/e. That is the problem, and it's pretty clear. Divisions.... If you think people play 'unfair' because of divisions, what the heck is stopping you from finding a friend to play with as well? The 1 vs 3 destroyer argument is mute since that's a MM issue and should be solved there.

It's my landing page when I open the forums It used to be General Discussion but somehow when I click on that link the forum complains about not finding something.. :(

That has been our main source of news for so long I can't do anything but support that notion

-> the face I imagined while reading that pos is pretty awesome, thanks for making my day. Do you understand that ships must be balanced, talking about how teams of imbalanced ships might be balanced vs another team of imbalanced ships is entirely irrelevant.

Kongo is one of the best if not the best tier 5 BB's. ARP Kongo's are even better.

+1 on the ' I HATE SOCIAL MEDIA ' vibe going on here.

I'm looking at the 'specials' and I'm thinking: why would this convince me to play this game again?

No.

Guys maybe maps are quite open but .. if you take it to the other extreme we would get more corridor maps here as in WoWs. Please don't make them turn this into corridor gameplay, it's true that they are making this more BB friendly by removing concealment ( directly and now with smoke ) and it IS sad to see them catering to the lowest denominator again and again, but there has to be a nice middle ground. Everyone hates Tears of the Cruisers, except if you're not in a cruiser, but wouldn't it help the developers more if we actually said which maps we think are actually not bad? It's easier to duplicate something which works then fixing something which is broken ( ancient Chinese proverb, trust me ). edit: Decent maps -> ( name - gamemode is applicable : votes ) New Dawn : 1 Actually nvm, should be done through a poll but I don't feel like setting one up with all the maps / game modes. Maybe later or another day :)

Powercreep because it's better as one but no comparison made with Kongo for instance. Might actually make sense when you'd argue they both have different roles due to one being fast enough to follow the cruisers? I think the video was ok, seems it is better as a New York. I rate New York as the worst tier 5 btw so if it would have NOT been better I would have actually more seen it as an issue. Title is kinda clickbait though

That is a very bold statement, since community doesn't seem to agree with what we see. It's like, BB ap on destroyers -> yeah it's wonderful that it's now recognized as an issue and it's even given high priority, but it's been months since WG said that battleship population is an issue and nothing has been done. When Shima 20km soup was an issue, this was handled and handled harshly. It seems as if the priority in getting classes balanced to each other is rather biased towards a certain class.

I don't have a problem with Gamescom accounts at all...... as long as they don't quit in the middle of a match like it happened so many times last year. Seems they have a fixed amount of time, should be enough for 1 battle or something, they die, they think well I can play another one till my time runs out -> bam middle of MY game suddenly they have go afk for some darn reason :( But hey, they will be on enemy team just as often ( as long as you sacrifice enough virgins ).

Belfast - Belfast - Flint division sounds fun doesn't it...

Yeah but it's hard, I don't fault an Amagi which is sitting at some range as much as I would fault a Bismarck or a Tirpitz for instance sitting in the back using a spotter plane You can't really treat all battleships as they are one, they are not.
