Let's make 2018 the year of the Battleships WG, please just remove all cruisers from the game no one likes playing those anyway

The problem is enjoyable gameplay, or the lack thereof, with a BBaby infested server. This isn't getting better when I take a BBaby boat myself.

Nah momentum can be managed, you're making it sound like it's the DD's fault for setting the smoke 'wrong' so the BBaby can't slow down. It's the other way around in 99% of the cases, the smoke is perfect and the BB 'player' just ignores.

I'm scared as heck as to why WG thinks it needs to put in BBaby boats with better concealment as most of my cruisers, it's very confusing as to which BBaby lover pushed that through. And yes it WILL mean I play more passive, I don't think you would expect anything else either with a Megazao on enemy team which can sneak up and get the drop on my poor cruisers..... Fear mongering? You are damn right! What else do you think is a natural reaction on making BBaby boats fulfill cruiser role suddenly? Absolute BS. Bismarck was an issue BEFORE it was given away for free, and ALL SERVERS have a BBABY overpopulation ( except maybe Sea ) to some degree ( WG's own words, not mine .. well except the BBaby... you know me )

Awwwww... my meme posting has been limited because forum doesn't like to embed images atm for some reason ( looks like image proxy is set up wrong ). Anyway, looks like you think I didn't spend more than a year giving ideas already, how cute. You do realize I have ZERO trust in my feedback being used constructively, so I rather talk with 'important' people and try to get them to say the things I want to say. Seems it's easier that way, also it's not like I have to change people's mind to say BB camping in smoke might be an issue in competitive, in randoms it's not. It's way easier to have actual people involved give the structured feedback WG 'requires' to be taken seriously, and it won't make me feel like killing someone if the game goes in the exact opposite direction anyway. Kiting is fine with me, it's the overmatch which I don't like. Negating skill through angling because baby took a battleship... You know it COULD be alright, as long as there weren't 5 BB's per game each game in the upcoming year or so at least. See, I don't have problems with CA / BB balance, it's mostly fine. There are just 2x as many BB's per game as I would like. One or two bb's, with three BB's max per side, would already give a lot of cruiser some air. Cruiser play been threatened for a LONG time already, sadly WG thinks that catering to BBabies is the most profitable in the long run. Anyway, I don't use smoke that often in my Hindenburg, not in my Zao and not in my Moscva ( and don't even get me started on lower tiers ). It's only 15xmm cruisers for me which make me want to sit in smoke as often as possible. But yeah I don't have a Des Moines and I know how it loves being smoked up near or in a cap and just melt anything which comes to try and contest it. Cruiser play isn't going to die. Also, why do you have trust in those 'anti bbaby' torpedoes? They are for hurting BBabies, chances that will be good at their job is not that high. IFHE changes == BBaby buffs. I was waiting for those really. Ofc I did say myself it could be toned down a little bit because it seemed over the top... but this is to much ( as expected off course ).

Remember that 5 BB limit though... guess WG will make that a very soft limit of dump everyone is 12v12 baby battles. You're almost saying they might be balanced. Care to tell my Hindenburg why it is that a battleship will be able get the drop on my cruiser? This just means there is no way I will be pushing without DD if he's on enemy team, I'm not going to 'scout' and run into Megazao. Just saying, it's not like HE is the only issue we fear

People told me to play my Tirpitz or get a Bismarck and join the BBaby infestation before.... they were never heard from again Reaching implies an upward motion, RN BB's will cause meta to spiral downwards not upwards ;) Good bye any game with less than 5 battleships

Start with typing @ then the first letters of their name and it will start to search on it's own. Then click on the name to make a @Hades_warrior mention. If you don't click the name or just write it manually it's not picked up ( user doesn't get a notification ).

I'm interested, will you be performing these feats off unrewarding team work yourself in a destroyer or will you be in something else waiting for the destroyers to do it for you? How about nope.jpg? I don't like twitch shooters, let's not turn this into one. Faster moving ships fixes nothing, BB alpha doesn't care about your rudder shift when angling only influences how many citadels you take instead of if you take one. Talking about cross roads, you sound to be wanting to go off in the wrong direction, glad I stopped you there or you would have to double track all that way back. Thank me later, it's ok :)

That is overloaded, I hear some window lickers hacked into it recently...

At least the basic idea is better, it's the details in this one which matter unlike the previous one :D

Come on guys at least they are listening and trying sensible stuff I guess there are no 203mm cruisers which really NEED to camp in smoke blobs always to survive... 5km for a Mino seems ok. But that also means any other 15xmm has that detection penalty ( Kutu, Belfast ) I think I can live with that, it would make it easier for DD's to be useful in smoke meta by not smoking but providing vision for team on smoked up enemies. Enemies still can't look out of smoke without spotters, could be fun. The thing which will change is teamwork though, though if light cruisers ( and with light cruisers I mean them in the original sense of 15xmm armed cruisers ) can still offensively use smoke to support their destroyers it might actually work. Guess that is what they are going to try and find out. Whish they would also stop assuming average destroyer captain isn't capable of switching ammo at the right time though.

It's kinda sad though, I remember when I didn't actually know stuff and I took what he said for granted. True, he says so himself, anything you hear you should double check.. but it's still a bit sad that it's THAT part of what he usually says people don't listen to.

Did you see last two week number off games with Bismarck and Tirpitz? And you're asking if adding RN BB's will make things worse?

All I can say is that I <3 tier 8 Taskent but I'm loathing tier 9 Trashcan, but it just might be less drive for Khaba When Megazao appears I might quit playing tier 8+ anyway.

What they tell me if I say this about some post I commented on, is that it is better to ignore them then. But I can understand, I don't always listen either Watching the full stream made it pretty clear there are some issues with these battleships, for me mainly how noob proof/friendly they are AGAIN. You won't teach a BB how to play properly by giving them better HE as cruisers and better concealment, they basically added a RN heavy cruiser to the end of the line in those regards it's very disturbing to see them thinking this is a good development.

I'd say there are 3 'meta games', one in protected MM - one in 4 to 8 and one 8+. 4-8 is the most diverse and most fun imho. I also think this is where destroyers are the most fun ( lack off radar ). Cruisers seem to peak at tier X with them being the best balanced against battleships of the same tier ( though very low tier, 4 maybe 5, is also quite favorable for cruisers due to bad sigma of battleships ). Getting a feel for the game would involve playing more classes as one as well though.

I've seen someone play on an IGP at a friends house, but it was a 520 and it ran at medium details with no issues ( also not running full res I assume ). If anything, you should try the reduced texture size mod, as this can greatly improve your performance ( the game will look worse... depending on which % of compression you choose it can look like Minecraft ).

If you don't get the references, or don't agree, you can just say so instead of complaining you know :) RN BB will fix BB AP pen, because unskilled BB players will be shooting 100% HE with them anyway ( and get decent results ). That's basically the whole thing, the HE is to powerful. The short fuse AP also works wonders on DD's though :D edit: btw, tier 5 RN CA ( it's CA line right, with tier X having better concealment than my Hindenburg/Moskva ?? ) has better HE alpha per shell as Montana.....

I call this the Jingles effect. as Jingles talking about stuff he doesn't understand always seems to cause the lesser forum dwellers to confuse what he says with actual facts. Sadly won't be the first time, and certainly won't be the last time.

USN all around. IJN only fun low tiers and they are much more a one trick pony. GE DD's up to tier 5 ( haven't played higher ) are also ok, but feel like they make you work harder. VMF DD's on low tier are basically light cruisers with suicide torpedo's. Once you get to tier 5 and up though they become really good and with the line split you get two potential tier X's there.

You're forgetting to use Comic-Sans MS when you post that stuff, it makes people laugh less as some might actually take you serious. Ow and btw, 11xx BB games - 55% win rate, 555 cruiser games 46% win rate, 2146 destroyer games 50% win rate. Yeah... seems inexperience is the reason you do worse in destroyers as battleships right

Ow look, a post which says bad stuff about RN BB's, let's make snark comments to OP for posting it Megazao never get's boring, it proofs how WG is fixing BB overpopulation -> replace all cruisers with battleships

Didn't hear anyone yesterday about issues with server dropping games or not letting people log in Might have been a very isolated incident for OP??

OP is in same klenu as P2Win, I call this very low quality bait. Should have used an account not associated with Mr. I-like-BB-meta.
