Hmm, that's almost like every other class vs CV's, what a coincidence! Regarding OP, as coup de grace I suggest introducing Autoplay feature for CV akin to mobile games so they can play the game without actually playing!

I like the bonuses change, previously you had to pick camos for the exact bonuses you needed, now you can fully customise the bonus. The camos on the other hand were implemented completely wrong. The expendable ones are too expensive, perma camo base price is hilarious as well, thousands of doubloons for just cosmetics? If you previously owned a free event camo and would like to buy a regular permanent one now, tough luck, gotta pay the full price.

That's probably because ships spawn with torp tubes on reload so it's 60+ secs before they're ready and the Gallant is usually dead thrice over by that point...

I do not fully agree, while the transport ship part is unbalanced and still gives most xp, there are ways to make up for it by helping with Missouri, intercepting Lexi or clearing the final wave. Just bring an optimal ship and don't potato 🙂

But for unguided torps you can employ the same strategies as with unspotted DDs, just change course and speed every time you're spotted and you're relatively safe, maybe eating single torps every now and then.

I think subs CAN be implemented in a balanced, though boring way. By removing pings and guided torps for starters. Then tweaks to visibility, oxygen and oxygen regen...

Huh? Conq is toxic, sure but far from op...

Those aren't real sounds, back then sound for movies was recorded separately. Imagine a database of generic explosion sounds added to a silent movie during montage

There is SOME correlation though because most other BB are usually running FP while germans usually don't, at least not until well over 10-point commanders.

Yeah, especially that it used to have 305mm sound before someone decided 152mm pop-gun sound is better...why fix things that weren't broken??

I think the poll is lacking the response: "LOLno"

The Mecklenburg "design" really makes absolutely no sense. A 305mm armed super battleship in an era of 406mm guns? It would be a complete waste of resources, you could slap 32x305mm on IT and it would still be useless in any bb on bb action. Ultimate merchant raider, aka fjord queen?

Well they did promise an ops overhaul in 2022...

I'm not a dd player but if I was, I'd also generally be running from a Cleveland below 10kms, am I missing something? (Sarcasm maybe?)

As every year, I would like to participate 🙂 good luck to all!

The best moment to go for transports is after dealing with Emerald/Iron Duke wave. You can take potshots at Dallas/Emile/2nd Emeral and even Missouri on the way thus being most useful for the team. What I find annoying is when someone declares transports,CV etc at the beginning and ppl don't respect it. Golden rule is 1 cruiser for TPs and max 2 for CV, rest Missouri and harbor

Seconded. Solo WR is the easiest stat to interpret because it means you're contributing to your team's win more often than not by whatever choices you make ingame.

I bought Sims specifically for Dynamo only for Dynamo to get cancelled Also Odin, it is crap even for the 3k dubs I spent on it

Tech/Premium 8. NC/Massa 9. Iowa/Musashi 10. Montana (Conqueror)/Thunderer I like ships that are jacks od all trades and the US line is a good example of those, pretty immune to meta shifts too

I have absolutely no clue what I've just read except a feeling of wasted time. And now I've wasted even more time by conmenting...

Fuso*, sister of Ise was Hyuga which we have

I haven't played cruisers in randoms for quite a while, but have found that juking salvoes with acceleration/ deceleration is way more efficient than any amount of angling. That said not angling at all only works for certain cruisers in certain situations and if your citadel armor is 100mm+ you should pretty much always angle.

A test of player patience, that's what...

surely you mean as a target?

Mercy rule was adjusted for coop some time ago and it was ok. The problem arose again with recent AI changes and the fact that new bots can't kill anynthing unless by ramming. But IMO what's worse than the mercy rule are the bot lemming trains especially on maps like two brothers where F.e. most bots decide to go one flank/middle which often leaves only 1 ship to shoot split between 3 allies..
