Considering the number of people that already made good arguments I don't feel the need to repeat every single thing they've said. If you want you can go read some of them

Well so far you're the only one that thinks that way about BB overpopulation, so clearly it's you who's doing something wrong.

There isn't one...just like in your statement

Very funny.....let's use your logic then about 4-5 DDs per side. BBs are happy to oneshot them, cruisers love to slaughter them and CVs are delighted to torp them

When compared to most DDs of the same tier yes. He didn't say that they're very good, he just explained how to play them.

Try US...I think they're the most forgiving of them all

Just don't count on getting it back

We weren't blaming your stats per se, you pissed people off because of your lack of knowledge about ships you haven't played yet. Granted, I haven't played shimakaze yet either but from what I've gathered the ship is far too weak when compared to other DDs. IJN DDs tend to have quite a bit of trouble at higher tiers. And you wanting to nerf a ship that actually needs buffing is what triggered so many people. Now onto your question: First things first. From what I can tell you don't have "last know positions" activated so I suggest you do that first. (click the cogs in the top right of the minimap and tick the option). It's going to show you where you've last spotted an enemy ship. Second, if you know for a fact that a DD is trying to torp you, never sail in straight lines. Make sharp unexpected turns (if you can afford them) and try to go either bow in or away from the assumed direction of a destroyer. Beyond that, we can't really help you. You need to learn how to anticipate torpedoes. For example if you encounter IJN cruisers and you see them running away, you can be certain that they've dropped their torps (since they can only fire them behind). I've often been punished by the fact that I just though to my self: "meh what are the chances he fired torpedoes at me", and then I died. You need to figure out which ships have torps that can hit you and anticipate them. Also try getting a bismarck. That thing has hydro which can help you spot torpedoes sooner (your fighter plane can also be used in such a way). I play BBs as much as CLs/CAs so I know how annoying that "wall of skill" from the shimakaze is, but battleships have it very easy these days. High tier US battleships are almost immune to carriers, and a lot of other ships have been nerfed for oblivion, so you need to think about what you're about to write before you write it, or better yet, just try playing other classes. I know you said you don't like them but realistically, that's the only way you'll learn which classes actually need nerfing or buffing. And one last thing. It is entirely possible that your premium ships are just too high a tier for your skillset. The image above shows your played tiers up to tier 8. Do you see the problem? You simply haven't played lower tiers enough to be ready for higher ones. For comparison this is what mine looks like: I have quite a bit of games in medium tiers and I've been here since closed beta. Lower tiers are what prepares you for the challange in the higher tiers. Try playing some low/medium tier ships so you get used to game mechanics. You'll know you're ready to move up the tiers when stuff like this doesn't bother you enough to make threads about it. Also: I have 3k battles and I don't even own a tier 10 ship. Not because I couldn't get it or couldn't do well in them but because I simply have no need to get them. I really like my tier 8 and 9 ships and don't need to rush things to tier 10. I suggest you don't either. It'll be much more enjoyable for both you and others if you play the ships you're good in, (by wows community standards) and here's a little something to maybe help you pick some new ships. (there may be some mistakes here since I haven't played all of these classes). Cruisers US cruisers: +Very good AA +Decent HE shells -Mediocre AP shells (although can be trollish in the right hands) -Annoying to play at tiers 7 and 8 (usually most played tiers) because of their lack of armor and concealment at that tier -No torpedoes (with the exception of tiers 4 and 5) -High shell arcs IJN cruisers: +Slightly faster +Good AP shells and high caliber guns +Very good HE shells +Long range torpedoes +Decent shell velocity +Good concealment -Poor torpedo arcs (can only fire them backwards) -Poor AA -Slow turret rotation speed German cruisers: +Good range +Decent AA +Very good AP shells -Mediocre HE shells -Relatively low armor Russian cruisers: +Similar to US cruisers but with short range torpedoes +Big range +Very good shell velocity +Low shell arcs +Good for starting fires -Poor AA -Slow rudder shift -Poor concealment British light cruisers: +Premiums have HE shells +Good rate of fire +Excellent AP shells +Single fire torpedoes +High tiers have smoke +Extremely fast heal +Very good acceleration -Very poor deceleration -No defensive AA -Very thin armor (can get citadeled by IJN DD HE at low tiers) -No HE shells French cruisers: +Decent speed +Speed boost +Fast rotating turrets +Very good artilery range +Long range torpedoes -Mediocre armor (nonexistent at tier 5) -Relatively poor concealment -Low ammount of torpedoes -Somewhat easy to citadel Battleships US Battleships: +Excellent AA at high tiers +Good armor +Decent high tier dispersion -Subpar secondaries -Slow at low tiers -Shorter range -Slightly bigger dispersion at lower tiers IJN Battleships: +Fast +Decent accuracy +Longer range -Somewhat lacking AA -Slightly less armor German Battleships: +Fast turret rotation speed +Difficult to citadel +Good reload speed +Excellent secondaries at higher tiers -Short range AA -Relatively small caliber guns -High dispersion UK Battleships: +Difficult to citadel at lower tiers +Extremely strong HE +Very good concealment at higher tiers -Slow turret traverse -Mediocre AP at lower tiers -Low caliber guns at certain tiers Destroyers US destroyers: +Very good turrets (fast reload, rotation speed) +Best for hunting other destroyers at close range -Medium/short range torpedoes at low tiers -Slow shell velocity -Rainbow arcs IJN destroyers: +High shell velocity +Good damage per shell +Long range torpedoes +Good concealment +Best for stealth torpedoing enemy ships -Slow turret reload -Slow turret rotation Russian destroyers: +Relatively large caliber turrets which allows them to citadel ships easier +Very fast +Good gun range +Good shell velocity +Best for long range engagements -Very short range torpedoes until high tiers -Slightly slower rudder shift -Poor concealment German destroyers: +Forward firing torpedoes at low tiers +Decent turret traverse +Fast reload speed -Slightly shorter gun range -Medium range torpedoes Carriers US carriers: +Larger squadrons +Very good for specialized air superiority +Good at specialized bombing -Less squadrons -Slow at low tiers IJN carriers: +More squadrons +Very versatile +Fast at low tiers -Smaller squadrons

sure...I'll only keep a few

I have enough worthless flags, I'll take signals anyday

Oh, It's this annoying guy again

He's probably one of those; "it's not enough to make ARP ships disappear in any sort of way if it's not permanent (since you can tick the checkbox back)"..... But hey at least we have a WWII game with 50% of ships from WWI

TBH the only thing you can really do is wait about a week till every noob who got a free tier 4/5 battleship gets tired of it and the ""higher tier"" overflow ends.

Let me rephrase that then: Why would you want to main tier 3?

Why would you not want to go above tier 3?

Yeah because overflow happens only when BBs come out right?

Yes I'm sure it'll collapse the playerbase.....just like the last 10 times this happened, did right?

you have to do it ingame...it's be nice if the shop actually said what's in the package instead of just showing the price

Well considering BBs are the strongest class in the game, they need something to put them back in their place

Maybe play something other than BBs for a change?

Well, the czech navy is confirmed next to arrive so maybe premiums are meant for them This is actually a nice idea
