Well if they lower alpha, they usually increase rof as they want dpm on the same tier to be somewhat comparable right? I don't see how you could balance low alpha damage high caliber shells without increasing rof which would not fit in the game ( explain the rof differences between Stalingrad with 305's and other ships with 305's to general public.. would also probably break a bit of immersion ).

LadyTorpida is a CC? Never would have guessed I might watch if I don't have anything better to do.

Cruisers should be the mainstay of a match, with a few BB's and a few DD's, then cruisers are indeed the most flexible class with the highest impact ( depending the most on player skill ). The moment you get MM issues putting 6 BB's vs 3 CA's, cruisers start having issues benefiting from their universality as those tasks get harder and harder the more BB's there are. Certainly when those BB's are not in one big lump of ships, since spread out enemy BB's mean you can not angle for BB's salvo's without giving broadsides to other BB's. But hey, some people just think that water isn't wet ;)

The same game would have earned me 200k profit before the change, and now I barely made a profit while playing the ship as it should be played. There are fast differences even in the same class, you can't reward a Kiev and a Fubuki the same, Kiev should get more for doing damage and Fubuki more for spotting torpedo's ( so allies can evade them ) and assisted / spotting damage. I'm not 100% sure this isn't being done already to some degree but if it is I can't notice it in game. I agree it would be 'nice' if WG would be transparant and made clear exactly how they 'envision' this new economy in detail, but on the other hand I think not doing so might save them from a lot of critique as well... Still, being saved from critique might sound nice but it doesn't change the fact that the implementation is just ..... 'bad'.

Edit: wows-numbers works just fine and shows correct number of battles, external api is therefore working correctly and the issue resides at warships.today. https://eu.warships.today/player/501112274/mtm78 "Latest snapshot not available.

Which is very funny, as it seems to only show it for me, and my profile has been public ALWAYS. I aint no scrub who needs to hide his stats and then whine about game mechanics / balance ( ofc, some will disagree )

I just think it's incredibly stupid to 'expect' you can 'reward' a Blyska the same way as a Sims. My Sims <3 getting close, Blys not as much. I played a Blys game where I did 60k + dmg in HE+fires and some defence points, made 30k profit with a tier 7 premium ( because it's 'bad' if a gunboat DD with good arcs isn't closer to the enemy so he can get shot at ). Getting shot at as something which earns 'rewards' in a DD..... The whole things is a joke tbh, and frankly it was to be expected.

Don't even respond to that guy it's a known troll ;) My Izumo shot down 30 planes the other day, I commented in chat how I was actively trying to get close to the planes as the enemy carrier started avoiding me all together. Felt so wrong, focusing on squads and see them die before they can even drop on me ( and with an IJN BB ffs... not an Iowa, NCal or Monty... no with an Izumo ( with manual AAA specced captain ofc )).

Smoke is fine, BBabies just need to l2p.

Why do you think this is a simulation? It's arcade ;)

Your highest tier is 6, you should add that information to your post as it's gives perspective. You really think you should tell me how to play the game? And that the amount of BB's in game is fine as it is, and it's ME not knowing how to play cruisers? And as I said fist and foremost, you should add that your 'experience' is limited and goes up to tier six ( you know, for perspective ).

Why? It's not like IJN will stay the 'dedicated' torpedo DD's, a Fletcher is a better torpedo DD then a Kagero ffs So all the BBabies we thought about the dietary benefits of fresh fish from our IJN DD's, will only have to remember that USN DD's have more dangerous fishes at higher tiers.

Well but tier 5 BB captains are usually not that versed at WASD hax, that also plays a large role. A good BB captain shouldn't meet that fate to often and I don't believe they do. If they do, I bet they might not be as good as they think they are. Either way, it's another sign of who the developers want to cater to.

Owww the fond memories.. they fade so fast

The Minekaze has always been the best tier for tier 'pure' DD in the game for one reason: those really fast 3x2 launched 30s reload torpedo's. I'm sorry but the above posters are all right, the torpedo's are in fact OP but not in concept, nooo they are OP compared with the average brain size of BBabies who can't remember which keys turn the ship. Well tbh, this is the same way with a CA/CL vs a DD right, or a BB vs a CA... ow wait... nope, that was to complicated as well.

Get used to having to carry potato's. it's never going to change And don't worry about a bad streak, if you're as good as you think ( expect ) yourself to be those bad streaks will end and you will get win streaks to offset them. Btw, imo people who hit allies with torpedo's from behind should a> pay a 10 million credits fine for being idiots a> get a 1 hour timeout to contemplate on what an idiot he is. ps. check my quote and edit your OP if you don't want to get sanctioned for 'naming and shaming' ;) edit: btw, why is your 'signature image' part of your post? Just put it in your signature that way people with slow connections can disable loading it by disabling signatures showing by default

And in my opinion this statement is false. Let's agree to disagree, and let people form their own mind.

The bots in other games are not much smarter, it's more about 'logical' spawn mechanics for new ships ( waves ) and getting an interactive environment set up ( like they are trying with the forts ). I even read about possible capturable land bases / airfields ( RU Q&A ). which would be awesome. And yes the bots are programmed to prioritize any DD in range even if there is a broadside anything much closer. WG could easilly change that but it's about the effect it would have. As I said, so far AI behavior is quite underdeveloped but 'tweakable' to work imo with decent (re)spawn locations.

Yeah I hear you but I can't compute what you say with what I see when I look at your profile. 46% MK telling me to 'l2p' because it's 'fun' to play MK against a bunch of BB's with no other cruisers on your team. Especially if that guy claims this is 'founded' on his own experience, I find the display of how well anyone should rate that experience, severely lacking. And I play mainly cruisers yes, but I do equally well in both DD's and CA's ( not in CV's, those are just the evil spawn of Satan himself ). Now, how you imagine that being an argument over how insufficient your performance is to offer any insight in meta or gameplay 'advice' certainly against someone with a clearly visible much higher skill level and probably understanding of the game then you. is beyond me. But if you think it helps you, sure, make that claim

Ye you know that so well because... why exactly?

Scenarios would be nice but hey they been requested for ages already.

Yeah they might untill they start telling people that a Kutozov is a good ship to have a couple of BB's focus fire on for an entire match, will be fun. And if they are better versed at 'understanding' a particular ship they should be able to play decently in it as well.

Once you learn how to play the game better I suggest you should start giving me gameplay advice.

Mostly at the top tiers, middle tiers were always more fluid ( fun ) Low tiers were always kinda banzai. There are tons of video's on youtube or live twitch channels of people playing the higher tiers, if you want a preview you can always watch those. The new economy will hopefully make people play more team oriented though.

That would actually be hilarious if implemented ( aka: don't give them many idea's they might stick you never know with the Motherland ).

Maybe that clears things up?
