Wow, and telling me I'm small minded, thinking this has any place on a discussion board. Figures.

Yup that is why I own a Yamato, I totally absolutely hate BB's I <3 the concept of this game, well I <3 the concept of this game in the PAST, with +-3 BBs MAX per side, same amount of DD's and the rest cruisers. You know, dynamic gameplay inducing MM and that kind of nonsense. This broken 40% BB Kevin population game is not fun, well except if you actually think 12 BB vs 12 BB is the ultimate result MM can give you Ow and btw, maybe in a couple of years WG might actually do something about that, they been admitting something is wrong with BB population for some time now and they are trying to change it ( by removing stealth firing ).... as I said, in a couple of years they might get things right.

So.. 1. You lied about played Azuki. 2. So you don't actually KNOW anything about playing Akizuki. 3. You keep lying about playing Akizuki since your public profile shows you don't actually have one ( or should I check PvE... please don't tell me you're arguing about balance because of PvE??? ). 4. It's duly noted that someone who has no reference point thinks a ship is 'balanced'. 5. You have 200'ish battles at tier 8, I have over 1k games at tier 8. You want to brag about free xpíng the lower tiers or something? Thanks for paying, I am sure a lot of freeloaders appreciate it a lot. edit: But yes, if you only play divisions you COULD still make her work perhaps, depending on how the team's deploy. If you can keep ganging up on only ships in your spotting range so that you fade into concealment after killing it. But if you can't do that, you're dependent on the ENEMY granting you more time to life by not focusing you. 33Kts, 730m turning circle no armor gunboat DD = That is just my opinion, but hey atleast I actually played the ship both on live and on the PT.

He is a know BBaby, I mean -> .. talking about wrong and biased at the same time

Akizuki was never a dogfighter. It's a support ship. Or well, it WAS a support ship. Now it's a useless turd.

Wow, facts hurt right?

His highest tier DD on live is a paid for tier 8 in which he has played two battles. His credibility mimics this perfectly.

Really? Since it's NOT in your PUBLIC profile. So AGAIN, you DO NOT OWN this ship on live. But, please enlighten us in how to set this up so it's balanced?? Tell me how to play this ship so it's 'terrifying' please. Tell me how it's 'situational'? Angry? You must be mistaken dear sir. I'm utterly gutted how someone who doesn't own the ship on live, and who played most of his DD's less then 10 battles in PvP, can possible tell me how Akizuki is 'balanced'. But perhaps you know more then me, perhaps you KNOW how to play this ship so it .. ... please enlighten us! You can't brawl, 730m turning circle means you can't avoid torps or incoming shells. The ONLY thing the ship was 'terrifying' at was medium to long range engagements where it could fade into stealth when getting focused. And yes it WAS terrifying there because it has high dpm. And yes, if you have support of other DD's who go spot for you, you can follow them in and open up at isolated DD's which you can gang up on with your spotter and hopefully kill quickly so you could fade back into stealth ( because you can't mitigate incoming damage with a 730m turning circle and 33kts speed which bleeds like crazy when turning ). Now, it's nothing but a terrible gunboat with some AAA ( but no AAA consumable because that's an USN gimmick... ow wait.. and VMF ofc because reasons ). Everything meaningful this thing could do you can now better do with a Kiev. You're visible anyway, so being sluggish and slow by choice being 'balanced' is just ludicrous.

Ha... You don't even OWN Akizuki on live server, so PLEASE enlighten us on how it's 'well balanced' if 'set up correctly'??? What do you THINK it's role is??

I played some games on PT, RU DD's and Akizuki... Akizuki is ruined, no point playing that now. Kiev on the other hand is GOD, it was good before but now every DD is spotted and you have enemies shooting at them instead of constantly on you.

^ This.

Ideally yes ofc. Though when you limit BB's there will automatically be LESS DD's since more people will be in CA/CL's and those tend to make DD's life a bit harder... Really? Upload a couple of replays of how well you do when you're up against 5 BB's on enemy team and you're ( one off ) the only ( two ) cruiser(s), I am very interested in how you manage to have a fun and engaging game in those circumstances

Wow, took you a long time to figure that out

So, you only have a semi decent win rate in your poor poor BB is just 'luck' right... You should have an higher one, I mean these game breaking torpedoes are just totally ruining your fun uhm actual expected performance right. The number off DD's is a reaction to the many many BB Kevin's, BB Kevin population is over 40%, playing cruisers with that many BB Kevin's isn't really fun and engaging so people pick either a BB to join BB Kevin, or they pick a DD and hope to farm BB Kevin's. Want to change that? Start with asking for a limit on BB Kevin's, not DD's.

** goes to check profile Montana wr 52% Moskva wr 43% Gearing wr 43% Yup, clearly BB's are suffering from to many DD's in each battle Let's turn it around OP... Each time I get 5+ BB's per battle, this is just no fun. Two or three might be barable, and might actually FORCE plebs players to learn to teamplay again.

Not even close... debuf penalty for DD's reduced to 10 seconds or bust.... Same penalty duration as BBabies is retarded.

Still trusting to be listened to... wow, impressive

And still that proposal is better then anything WG has done so far.

I've added the question to flamu's discord, hoping he will ask it in his Q&A session with Sub_Octavian.

But but but... Arkansas is way better, like 5% or so... and it's getting a HUGE buff in range

To the EU, well yes. Because GE BB's weren't in the game then. We got a fairly heavy German representation in game ( in player numbers ).

Asking people to use PT to provide feedback after WallHack© debacle is kinda... weak. But playing on PT to justify coming back on forum and explaining how the changes are [edited] nonsense, now that's a good suggestion. Not that 'feedback' is the reason of PT's, they are just there to test deployment and to make sure no big bugs make it into live.

You know who to pitch this to right....

Well I don't have Gearing, but I do know Fletcher plays different then Gearing so you probably are still in your adjustment fase
