Stop talking to yourself in the mirror, we're trying to have a discussion here with sensible people. like this: Lowering DoT is removing damage potential, you can't remove damage potential without nerfing the class HE spammers. So, how do you compensate for lower DoT?

But all the ranges are scaled, if you lower BB range you have to lower CA range or you will get CA's outranging BB's. And if you lower ranges those CA's can engage, the original problems comes back. Lowering ranges on just BB's would not be good due to class imbalance if CA's outrange BB's, and lowering them on all classes doesn't solve the issue of inter class balance.

Sadly, you can't upload common sense to them, or even just 'sense'.

The worst part of this game.. meh it could be the community, certainly that part which uses analogies between a disease which kills people and elements in a game.

Yeah yeah Atlanta > BB's we got the message. edit: Not to mention using the ONLY real viable cruiser which can take on BB's, because of it's large HP pool and coal bunker protected citadel to try and make a point about all cruisers.... Every cruisers can do it? Yeah, so how does my Hipper do this then, 'kite and burn BB's to death without ever getting hit'? Or my Karlsruhe? How about Kuma, show me you killing BB's left and right while not getting hit back at all, senpai teach us plox.

I detonated an Aoba using Nagato's secondaries once, he was on full hp But yeah, generally AP just sux as you're not getting the juicy balanced fires on your enemies.

Yeah looking at this to, might be nice to relive my Pirate's days from C64 Not much competition to make sure they don't [edited]up their game though, hope it stays on track.

Afaik that guy will be pink in his port, has happened to me as well doing team damage due to stray torps and only turning pink when going back to harbor.

I am a bit of a masochist I admit but you're taking it too far!

Yeah Atlanta such OP ship right, it burns BB's to death on all maps and just kites them while it's invulnerable to return fire from the BB. Ow and the BB can't dodge Atlanta shells using WASD hax because Atlanta's shell do not travel to the moon before coming back and trying to hit something. /sarcasm I would rush an Atlanta using a tier 4 battleships, but yeah, you run away because they will burn you to the ground faster than you can delete it from the game in one salvo.. how exactly would that work Yeah, the Atlanta, that super overpowered tier 7 premium CL which everyone says should be nerfed to death, will more reliably kill BB's then get killed by them. At least, this happens in Corvi's world, I hear it's such a nice and speciul place.

They don't fit the game at all, any attempt to shuff them in will come at the expense of something else already in the game. Meh you know what, right now I couldn't care less, if they add subs and it causes BBabies to whine a bit about them they will get removed anyway.

^^

It's so easy to spot the BB main's in this thread, laughable. Omg HE + FIRES OP BB"s need buff plox edit: shiet, I forgot the OP torpedoes ofc... especially the 20km one's they are so ffin OP right l2p. Ow, and not I am crying , YOU ARE. BB's have the highest survivability, go use that armor AND FFIN HITPOINTS. If I have BB's like you in my team I feel compelled to just hide behind them and do nothing the whole ffin match, just to make you feel like you make your cruisers feel by being a coward wanking off in the back in the map. edit: "First they nerfed the carriers and I didn't speak out because I didn't play carriers. Then they nerfed the torpedoes and I didn't speak out because I didn't play IJN DDs. Then they nerfed cruiser HE and I didn't speak out because I didn't spam HE. Then the BBabies came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me." Best signature ever

Sidescraping Back to WoT you go... Let me guess, BB player yeah?

I was 'struggeling' with Hipper recently, but I will push through at some point as I want Roon and Hindenburg. Anyway, Karlsruhe is very good anti cruiser cruiser imo, I did pretty good in her. And you can do good damage to BB's which are ignoring you. BUT, you don't want to get shot at, ever ( glass cannon ). This goes through to Yorck, where you actually get some armor. You will be able to bounce 155 and even 203 AP with some good angling, but anything other than the right angle and you're gone as your citadel is not that hard to hit. The thing I liked about Yorck is the HE being actually good. Nice alpha damage on the 210's and you got decent fire chance as well, enjoy it ( if you enjoy the HE spam meta ). If you get close to something and it's broadside, the AP will do wonders. At range the HE works better due to better arc's ( though you can sometimes get surprise plunging fire citadels with those arcs as well it's hard to hit ). Hipper, well it's fantastic against enemy cruisers which show broadside and it has really good AAA and usable torpedo's for those 'feck I am death anyway let's rush and get some damage in' kind of moments ( or.. you bait some BoringBoat around an island and he 'forgets' you have those fishes ). But angled cruisers are already pretty hard to deal with, let alone angled BB's due to bad HE.

I can't find that post from cherry, that tweak really seemed to help a lot of people so ... /me keeps looking

There is a tweak posted somewhere which fixes loading issues for some players, something with enlarging caching option through one off the xml configuration files. Tweak was posted/found by Cherry2Blost ( I am probably misspelling his name but ... ). If I find it I will edit and link it here. edit: so far can't find it, I might also be mistaken and the 'laggy port' fix was the only one he posted once

Lower tier BB's have worse dispersion and more glaring weaknesses which generally make lower tier cruisers a lot better at dealing with them then top tier CA's can deal with BB's ( Zao is an exception AND only then IF it can exploit its concealment advantage ). edit: the issue is the number of BB's per match, and as others have said, Karlsruhe is not the best ship to engage BB's ( broadside they take nice damage from your AP though ). Kuma's and Phoenix's are much better suited due to having reasonable HE and fire chance.

10 - 30 seconds? Mhm that would not warrant any reports for botting from me. 30s would be impeding team if you're a DD in domination, but then again 30 seconds can be discarded because of spawn locations difference anyway. It's about the guys who are MINUTES late into a game, and this has been said explicitly multiple times, so I guess you're just trying to fool the 'casual' observer ( or you're just trolling ).

I didn't want to go there... I will get reported for stat bashing but ye... edit: Btw Kastike, did you ever contact support about your loading issues? What did they say ( if you did )?

proof in case I selfishly press battle knowing I will be late and ruin people's fun, just because I 'play for fun' and I can't be arsed to care about others.

Debatable, I find that kind of gameplay extremely enjoyable

You're moving from 'free choice' to being forced into lower leagues based on player reports, it's not really easy to comment on it if you keep changing the concept As to the latter, being able to 'vote' people out of a leauge, it would just make people abuse such function. You can't give players these 'powers' without some safeguard against abuse

Indeed, so Lesta has wrong requirements as I am sure Lesta will not come out and claim it's 'working as intended' if some people in a team load into the game later then the rest. That is a fallacy, I could get hit by a bus so I better not leave the house != there is a racing track with formula 1 cars right outside my front door, the chances that I can get out and cross the road before being hit are slim so I might be better of not playing. As to the rest of your post: as I said before: quantify 'sometimes'. For some, 1 out 5 might be 'sometimes' and acceptable, others would put that line somewhere else. There is no such thing as anecdotal evidence, stop claiming overwhelming consensus ( even though mildly amusing, it's not really part of any real discussion ). Irrelevant, if there are technical problems which influence participation in the game, they should not play ( and contact support to get it fixed asap if they meet min requirements ).

One swallow doesn't make a summer.
