I don't care about owners, I care about balance and that includes the OTHER people in the game you're clubbin in with the BEST PERFORMING ship in the game. Stop trying to defend you main ship which you like to pad your stats and club seals with. Yeah and while I got torped by DD's and attacked by CV's I still performed 14% better then you with your protected MM, your point is mute because the ship overperforms even with non protected matchmaking. I often say this to people why cry about wanting +-1. I don't think +-3 is needed at this time, it was prior to having enough players / content though. +-2 is largely fine right now with how ships are balanced. but...? But they would complain because there are others who are broken to? So if the police catches a murderer and he goes to trail, he should get away with it because the cops don't solve all the other murders to? How about starting with one, which should be fairly obvious?

Because the topic tittle / poll is about Nikolai. I would be fine with a nerf to OPfast Some It was already over performing WHILE it saw tier 6, and limiting it to tier IV is just 'somewhat' of a buff

Which is irrelevant when applied to a ship which get's not MORE protected MM but less....

They would merely be returning an overperforming ship to it's former MM in which it already overperformed.

1. Doesn't matter, crates are lottery and you're not entitled to any content you gain from it. 2, So you agree it should have +2 mm like it used to?

Some of us actually BOUGHT it when it was in the shop. And those who did also remember the old MM it had. And some of us actually have a better performance playing in that MM then some others in current pref MM environment. Maybe we just 'know better'?

You wouldn't know since you only have a Sims ( in which you do badly ). How about you stop classifying the players of the counters to your main class ( BabyBoats ) as being less then those of other classes You're way to kind, his posting clearly indicate he is scared his precious BB's would somehow be more vulnerable to those pesky undeserving DD's and he will continue to claim things which are counteracting your proposal in any way possible.

Semantics. Rebalancing a ship will mean WG will have to offer refunds, they don't like doing that. I think it was actually more fun against tier 6's, giving old MM back would therefore be my preferred option. But if WG doesn't want to deviate from the general tier IV MM rules they implemented, a change to sigma to bring her in line with the other tier 4's wouldn't make me take them up on the refund option they would have to give alongside it. And if they do that, they can also put her back in the shop. That being said, I don't think the changes have to be really large, as I will expect the ship when being put back on sale will drop QUICK and HARD in general ratings due to potato's buying one and thinking it's going to be an auto-win button. That is also the ONLY reason Belfast isn't performing even better then it's already OP stats would indicate, many players sail her badly.

err... Nicolai always had -1+2MM BEFORE WG changed all tier IV to see tier 5 max. So they 'buffed' an already overperforming ship So returning to -1+2 is not giving is custom MM, it's returning her to the MM she was intended to have.

Calling Imperator 'so called OP' = Meeting tier VI's fair? Yes. Since it won't meet them all the time, and with meeting tier VI's I STILL MANAGED low 70's win rate.

8% isn't 'very close'.

Since targeting based on shells is still largely guessing ( moving or not, orientation is not always clear as well ) dispersion isn't that bad it actually increases chances to at least land something?

The issue with the ship is NOT fire chance, the issue is the toolbelt containing radar + hydro + smoke + allowing slotting concealment module giving it equal radar range as concealment and having smoke + radar.

Arkansas Beta And well yeah, experienced players perform better, and players who unlocked captains and use them the same. But that doesn't explain why AB is only 2% higher in WR then Kaiser, and Imperator is 8% higher then Kaiser. Surely this should point out that Imperator is overperforming a lot. Also, again, AB always had protected MM, it would never see tier VI unless paired with a higher tier ship or a tier IV CA/CL/DD which at the time had no protected MM while tier IV BB's had.

My WR in AB is higher then with Imperator. But that's because AB always had protected matchmaking. Also, if Imperator really wouldn't be 'stronger' why is it the only tier 4 BB with a global all time 60% win rate? Why doesn't the Wyoming have it? Or the Myogi?

That article made me lol. Like in, really laugh, out loud. 1. The nuclear blast will affect RADAR and visibility = +1 for LOL ( radar is a recent addition to the game ) 2. Planes which drop from the sky and possibly inflicting massive damage if they crash on the deck of a ship = +1 for LOL ( planes shot down don't inflict damage on ships they crash on, Kamikaze planes were not added by WG for a reason ). 3. Ships will be able to survive on 50x50km maps if they are severals tens of KM's away = +1 for LOL ( so large parts of the maps would be death traps... with ships which take minutes to cross even a small section of it ). 4. Ships can negate some of the damage by going bow on to the nuclear blast's shockwave = +1 for LOL ( sure, shear strength will be less bow on... but let's talk about radiation exposure for a bit ok? ). 5. All this mentioning this only would be possible with the tier X USN BB, but all the screenshots show low/mid tier ships with the mushroom cloud in the background. I call clickbait.

Busted Guess OP want's a 80% win rate with his Hiryu.

Concealment is for me a must have on all my ships, and for BB's it just as important as on DD's allowing yourself to position yourself more freely giving you more opportunities to punish broadsiding cruisers. Why would +2 be more frustrating, it is what the ship had when it was sold unlike all the other regular tier IV BB's? edit: To everyone voting no, could you please post in the thread why you think having protected MM for an already overperforming ship when it could meet tier VI is better?

Dude.. OMNI hax pack... still waiting for it to leak to the general public but their pretty protective of it

It's to slow, it's fun to do be able to deal high damage when you get teams which allow you to do so but she relies on keeping distance to survive aka a team which doesn't falter to quickly. You got 8k higher avg dmg then me and I only hold a 50% wr in mine. 8k isn't enough percentage wise to accredit your performance ( I guess you got a lot more decent wr in yours then I do in mine ) to the ship itself. In contrast, I do the same 35k avg dmg in a St Louis and I still have a 70% wr in that ( the only thing: most of those games were before Bogatyr came which is the better ship due to range ). Katori allows for nice dmg farming, especially when you can farm BB's through fire at range which have almost no chance to deal with you, but against equal tier cruisers it's pretty weak imo.

I wouldn't even think about FP on Imperator as she has no superstructure. I can remember maybe one game in which I was seriously vexed someone was putting me on fire to often, certainly not enough to give up 3 captain points Gremmy never had protected MM. Also this thread is not about her, it's about your favorite ship ps: it's my most played ship as well, but I will never ever claim it's not broken or that it doesn't need a return to +2 mm

I agree that a return to +2mm is warranted.

Private profile... But latest snapshot -> " Mostly plays battleships, especially low-tier and is very good in them " Reading your replies in this topic that doesn't surprise me at all. The survival rate off DD's is down to 'bad' decision making on DD's part? Really? Because they should just stay at range and not ever try to have an actual impact on the game? Really? You do realize he was talking about GLOBAL survival rate's of DD's not his own? Did you? You survive 46% of your games in Sims, yet win 36% of the games you play in her. Maybe you should not stay at range so much and try to have more of an impact? Or do you think DD's are decoration in the game, that it's about BB's and CA's ( and the occasional CV )? There are DD's, especially on mid tier which this latest snapshot places you, which are not capable of stealth torping, you saying they should never try to use those torps and instead rely solely on their guns?

I played it more then once It is pretty edited. though but with accuracy module it's a great 'git gud at aiming' sheep. This post has been edited by the moderation team due to inappropriate word.
