that applies to ALL dd, not just shima...and by doing this - to stay alive - he actually allready achieved his goal by neutralizing yourself. a competent cv player will allways come looking for you as soon as you start to cap.

deinstalled the game. revert matchmaking changes that where applied in last patch. and of course there were changes to it, because since last patch, matchquality, especially t8+, is attrocious. there was no big balance change, no meta change, but only loses, after loses, after loses to an extent, that overall wr starts dropping...so the only thing that changed, is matchmaking, and it frustrates. revert it, simple as that. will follow feedback in this thread if it changes with next patch, until then, bye. after 4 years you (WG) manage to make the matchmaking as bad as it was in WoT...where it was, too, the reason that i quit.

"no bias to see, just move along!"

that´s bull.crap! why does "this" only happen with T10 ships? and once im 10+ games into negative, ther is no "recovering"! and why does this only happen into the negatives? i have 60+ ships, NOT A SINGLE ONE with battlecount below 100 has 10+ wins...but 4 out of my 6 T10 have 10+ losses...statisically that shouldnt be possible, or...be almot impossible...but yeah, I got the lottery. The truth is, T10 MM IS Edit* Thx to T10 MM I even dropped in overall wr. Currently games are decided within the first 60 seconds, without a Chance to come back. If it´s 0:3 or 0:4 after 4 minutes, ther is no "come back", it´s only prolonging an inevitable Outcome 99% of games...and yes, this seems intentional to some Kind, becaue it only happens in "one way". there are only T10 losing streaks. Edit: Language

god...your the type of player that says, if it smells like crap, looks like crap, tastes like crap, is confirmed as crap, it´s chicken wings. i´m sure you barely play T10 solo.

if it would really be random, I as an active player, shouldnt fall below 40%, because even bots do better. but at T10...it just doesnt matter. games are decided during matchmaking, or within the first 30 seconds of a game. teams get stacked, that´s the reality. I know I´, not a 30% wr Player, as I said, not even bots are that bad, but MM edit my wooster/gearing again, and agian, and again, and again. You have to accept, at T10...it´s not your individual skill tat matters. Edit: Language

In the Z-52 full gunboat means BFT, AR and gun reload mod. and it´s excellent! You dont need range...

Please, YES! Blood for the Bloodgod! Death to the false Emperor! Give me a Khorneskin for my Des Moines, Minotaur, Gearing and Z-52! And my Bismarck!

there definitely were matchmaking changes in the last patch. it´s atrocious, especially in t10.

you might turn the tide 1 out of 10 games...the other 9 games, a 0:3 or 0:4 after 4 minutes, is a loss.

Yeah...same here. Teams are stacked, otherwise matches wouldnt end this fast. Often it´s 0:3 after 4 minutes...thats gg. every secong fromt there on is just prolonging a game that is allready decided.

MM just plain sucks! T10 is unplayable/unwinable. Divisions are unbalanced, Clans stack 3+ people by counting in, if they end up on different teams they just spoil the game by fooling around, and so on...It´s not about skill, it´s about which team has more luck/less potatoes stacked. 8 losses in a row, matches are decided within the first 3 minutes, over in under 10 minutes. THIS IS BECOMING AS BAD AS WOT MATCHMAKER, which was the reason i quit playing it.

problem...a good smolensk player will NEVER show you his braodside, cause he knows what you want. he too has hydro...and for agile ships like dd's or light cruiser like mino or smolensk, it's easy to wiggle-dodge narrow torps. and then, his HE wins...

i voted for the 2nd option...but: i got enough coal to get it. i love my minotaur, but the smolensk laughs on it, because same playstyle, but much better ballistics and he on top. so...will it get changed/removed? as i said, i think it should'nt be in the game, but...if it wont change, eventually just be removed, better get it and join the dark side, or not?

in an AA ship like des moines, worcester, minotaur, kidd, texas? yes, absolutely. they got other significant shortcomings for it. and cv are immune to all other ships, too. as long as they dont [edited]up and get spotted because they dont know how to use the autopilot to still move while "flying", they allways survive to the end. so, in an AA ship, i want near immunity to cv's. if a des moines and a cv are the last 2 ships in game, the des moines should have the upper hand and "bad luck" for the cv. currently, especially late game, cv's wipe the floor with their direct counter...that is bull...t.

and they should melt planes, BEFORE they strike! thats their job! shooting planes down AFTER they strike is USELESS and the concept of a guaranteed first drop is bull...t.

this season, in direct comparison to the previous one, really showed the impact of carriers, to me. last season i prefered sims (although i have the z39), this one i stuck to the kidd, same 18 point captain with rpf...so similar "powerlevel" on my side. last season it took me around 15 games, this on 33(!). i had 15 loses, 11 of them with carriers. so as soon as carriers are in a game, the impact any other class, but especially dd's, has, is minimized. and in a dd it becomes much harder to save your star, because even with 1 kill, 2 caps, 30k damage, several cap-defends...when you almost inevitably die - to random spotting from even a bad cv player - he or another bb will continue farming useless damage and become topplayer of the team completely undeserved. because of this i had a losingstreak from 3 back to 5 with 0 stars. there simply was no "carriyng" or star saving, just because even the random spotting by a bad cv ruins your game. at rank 2 i had another 4 game losing streak, but luckily i could save the star in all of them, though one had a cv in it. so, this for me showed which huge impact even 2 bad cv players have, just because they screw over everyone by their random spotting. and the "fun" of games in which one team has a good, the other one a bad one...spreadsheets are wrong.

seriously? if you get dev-striked by a DD, it's all, only and formost your own fault! it means you put your brain in stand by, because there is so much active counter play against DD torps, that if this happens, the DD player deserves it. against a CV, there is nothing you can do if he goes after you. no matter which ship you are in. ironically it's the class that CV should feast on (BB) that does best against it.

"...wg learnt their lesson..." WHAT? maybe when it comes to non russian ships? sorry, smolensk proves you wrong...

4 out of 5 games. will get better when the cv's ranked out. so just wait a few days.

1 AA cruiser should be enough to make you think 10 times before going for it! that is the one big problem, CV have no counter class. it should be AA cruisers/destroyers, but they arent. in a cruiser, you avoid1 vs 1 situation against battleships like the plague, same goes for dd vs cruiser... but CV players are like "ah, see, there is lonely des moines/worcester let's go for it and delete it." THAT is the real problem. a fully AA specced cruiser should be a deathsentence for planes, BEFORE they can drop anything on it. it's useless to wipe out a squad after you lost 1/3 or 1/2 your health. that is the reason why no one uses AA specs anymore...it's useless.

the questions are too black/white. in a match with only 1 radar in each team, there is absolutely no problem. as soon as there are 3+ or uneven radar matchups, eg 1 vs 2+, you are screwed and completely teamdependant and close to being irrelevant. in games with cv's, that know what they are doing, you're screwed and there is no avoiding or "just dodge". against a competent cv, the dd's are the first and easiest victims...this just doesnt seem like the truth, because there are still bad cv players out there.

Izmail would like to argue heavily about this...

nah...giving them 30mm sidearmor or making them so small that ap doesnt arm would make them completely broken. they are so powerfull, that they even cant get he ammo for their guns, because good concealment+he+fast firerate+smoke+hydro would make them completely overpowerd and wouldnt be fun to play against "they" (WG) said...so dont ever expect a ship to have all of this... oh, wait...

nerf it into the ground. this ship is russian bias [edited] at it´s defintion. nerf it´s reload, nerf it´s armor, nerf it´s dispersion , and than it might finally be balanced.
