You're attributing to much logic to the common BB player, chances are this engagement is happening somewhere near the map edges Ok, constructive -> BB positioning is key. Yes, a kiting CA can be a pain, but even kiting CA's will eventually get lolpenned by an equally competent BB player. If the BB player can't hit, it's a skill difference and not a class imbalance. And I say that as someone who also plays a quarter off his games in a BB. And you're right to, most bad BB's don't even consider taking concealment expert, thinking BB is big should be visible and 'scary'. When the most scary BB is a NCal appearing off my cruisers broadside at <13km having used his concealment to close the distance so he can more reliably land devastating strikes.

Compare her to what we otherwise see in WG videos

Well... you say CL needs buffs, my RN CL stats do not seem to agree with that ( leaving aside the turds at tier IV and V which are of no real concern as those takes what, 20 battles at most to get through? ).. Fiji and Belfast are amongst the top performers at tier 7, Leander is holding its own at tier 6, and from tier 8 to tier 10 they are not really underperforming either. So I do not like the proposal as it would a> benefit mostly a class which does not need it b> does not benefit a class besides that which actually needs it.

Why you not seeing it on PTS then Though I will up front admit it is almost impossible to judge meta on live server from pts games, it will show you what it can do in your own hands. And so far I seen its pretty game breaking for anyone/anything which is trying to use concealment, if you take the skill. And yes, it has a high price, there are other builds for almost all ships which are also very strong. But balancing a skill around not everyone having it, is like saying Imperator Nikolai I or Gremyashchy or Kamikaze ( R ) / Fijin are balanced because not everyone has one.

Most people are just baddies who think hiding their stats makes their gameplay itself less embarrassing. Some people want to share opinions based on lacking knowledge, and hiding their stats makes them feel less insecure. Other people hide their stats because they are good and don't want other people in the match to realize this at the start of a game... Rough guess is that 99% of the hidden profiles fall under the first two options. Let me guess...

Reminds me of CBT, either players who were picked to test, or people who paid to get in. Good times

In the long run, will a game be successful when aimed at casual scrubs who don't bother to actually learn how to play and just keep demanding WG to simplify the game for them? I don't think it will, but hey I don't run a successful gaming studio either so...

Blys, Leningrad and ofc Gremmy... Probably Akizuki for the lulz and Shiratsuyu for the 16 torps But, I will dread any game where I see enemy Fletchers ( Gearings.. well unless I'm in Akizuki I can just run away ).... But guy's come on, RDF won't go live, they can't ignore this amount of negative feedback, they just can't ( unless they want to show how much they want to spoil us even more ).

Ow I agree that Fletcher and Gearing should loose a lot of their torpedo boat capabilities if WG wants to call IJN high skill cap But USN will not be hit hardest, IJN will. Because USN will use the skill to hunt down IJN first and then can relax and use their torpedo's ( Gearing can even torp from outside or radar ranges.... c'mon WG where is your high skill cap on USN dd's now hey ).

Then why propose somehting which will mostly benefit BB's.....

And BB do not NEED to be even easier to play decently. Rather BBabies should spend some effort into learning how to play.

I am a cruiser main but I want OP DD's because it gives me something to do other hide at max range from BB's spamming them with HE

Great

Wrong background should be USS Indianapolis

sorry meant 'settings' not options

Uhm overpens happen with all guns not just Germans, what might play a role is that your trajectory is flatter due to shorter engagement range ( where with USN BB's you will generally have a more downwards trajectory at their 'optimal' engagement range ). But you're a good enough player to realize and compensate for that, so idk Maybe try aiming a little lower so your shells get slowed down by the water?

Try repairing your game using the launcher - options - check file integrity Did you install/update anything on your computer which messed with c/c++ runtimes? Did you update drivers? If all that fails, open a ticket at support -> https://eu.wargaming.net/support/tickets Include a DXDiag output file -> https://wizards.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1271 And a WGCheck results file -> https://eu.wargaming.net/support/kb/articles/596

10% is a very very optimistic number I'm afraid.

Would that be your 13k dmg Farragut, your 8k Fubuki or your 15k pre split Mutsuki, compared with your 25k Baltimore or your 41k North Carolina ( by lack off actually owning a tier IX BB )? Btw thank you for playing Gremyashchy, you're making sure it doesn't look to overpowered

Opinions are perfectly fine, allowed and even wanted. But when they conflict with actual knowledge of game mechanics or balance, which is something visible through performance indicators, and are given in a manner which would degrade the gameplay of others ( wanting 12v12 BB games is not really being open to OUR opinions either now is it ), well things might get a bit iffy Also, I was playing terrible lately and the only reason I had a 80% win rate in my last play session is due to excellent division members carrying my scrubbery behind to victory. Win rate is not the most important metric. Which is also btw a reason why you shouldn't hide your profile. Profiles gives an abundance of extra information which could be quite crucial in discussions about meta or class balance. As you can see I play even more BB's then DD's, that should indicate I'm not 'whining' because I want DD's to be overpowered, for instance. It might indicate I think BB's are already very powerful ( and overly prolific because of that and other reasons ). My profile should also indicate I am capable of judging most inter class balance issues, though I will outright admit I am rather limited with how many different lines I have unlocked. I am an IJN main, in both CA, DD and BB. I am doing VMF DD's but got stuck at the Ognevoi and am mostly playing my premium destroyers from that nation. I also play German CA's and VMF CA's, you could say ( and it would be correct ) I'm a CA main. But because I also play the other classes to reasonable amounts I'm not impartial to just cruisers. Knowing this should help you with judging my objections or comments on certain topics edit: btw 49% is NOT terrible, it's average.

Good thing then that even RU forum seemed to be more against it then for it ( though far less opposition then here, about 30% who says it's fine or something iirc ).

Ow yeah right I should post that to -> Mostly plays cruisers, especially high-tier and is excellent in them Cruiser (48%) Battleship (26%) Destroyer (25%) Aircraft Carrier (0%) 0%? Wow I thought I done more CV games with my AS Bogue for those ARP mission plane kills

Yeah my amount of games was also low but each time RDF was helpful in either killing enemy DD or to deny him cap zone's or flanking opportunities. What I did not meet though is divisions of enemy DD's working together, nor did I really test it in division ( I played some division games with Takeda in Akizuki's but that was more bantering around with strange builds ( well for me ) ). I will be on PTS later tonight when the kids are in bed, if you're in game let's division up
