Because using it as nothing but an event shp is too difficult.

Vs I'm pretty sure none here would consider it offensive if you did. Please do. Well...at least until you realise that the skill floor for haku is even higher.

Does aslain's update automatically yet like modstation does? The last time I checked it didn't but that's been a while back. If it doesn't I'll stick with modstation for now.

Nah, you just don't know how to read statistics. Midway is doing just as you'd expect it to. Fairly meh overall because of several factors despite being one of the few strongest ships in the game. It's not all that close to it tbh. Midway has 50% more battles played than it and like I said, it's usually the first CV line people grind. I think it's more of an issue with you just taking stats at face value and never trying to go deeper. If that's how things worked, many of the most popular (and bad ships usually aren't popular) ships should be considered bad. My man what? They're not. The amount of people that fail their way upwards with their wallet is absurd. This game is basically pay to lose at this point. Where did this even come from exactly? If a ship that is (not including superships) sharing number 1 spot with hakuryu as quite literally the strongest ship in the game, has a very "meh" WR, then maybe the problem is elsewhere. In fact, if you look at FDR and nakhimov which are ships specifically desiged to do nothing but farm damage on battleships and clumsier cruisers, their damage is quite pitiful in comparisson. It should be much higher than it is. See here's the thing. You consider a ship as OP (or not OP) if the skill floor is low as that tells you that "even bad players can make it work", when in reality (if you don't want any competitive game to die fairly quickly), it's when the skill ceiling for a specific ship is high. Top CV players can approach 80% winrate solo. Good luck finding anyone with a similar winrate in any other classes. Buffing a ship whose skill ceiling is already very high would just bring that to 90%. Now if you think that's balanced, then I'm just glad you're not incharge of balance. He's one of the resident laughingstocks.

Are you though? You said that DDs are everywhere despite midway being good at killing DDs therefore implying that clearly midway isn't good at killing DDs, when in fact the reason for there still being DDs around is because players like to play them more than CVs. Which has always been true for all classes. Aha now I understand it. Well, below average players do drag midway's stats down. That's just how it is, but it is to be expected since it has so many battles played and is often the first CV line people go for which just makes it even worse.

Players find surface ships more fun to play than CVs and subs yes. Not even the OPness of the CVs has managed to change that. I genuinely didn't understand this sentence. Maybe it's just me.

Midway is also by far the most played among them. The more battles a ship has, the more average the damage (and every other stat) will be. You literally showed 2 ships whose combined battles are a little above 1% of those played on midway. But more than that, midway excells at killing DDs while several other CVs don't, so instead they farm damage on battleships. If you want to farm useless damage you do you. Not having the ability to do something doesn't make a specific ship better though.

If you don't know how to read ship statistics please don't try to use them to support your claims.

It's getting obscenely difficult trying to figure out whether you're a troll or genuinely so incometent that you struggle at killing DDs with one of the strongest anti DD ships in the game. Though to be honest, these two options aren't mutually exclusive so it might very well be both.

Then they'd have to rebalance tier 7 (and eight) to allow them to fight tier 9. And then rebalance other tiers to fight those two. Pretty soon you'd have to rebalance the entire game. And let's be real here, the only tier 9 ships that could use some of that are a few tech tree ones. Most are strong enough as it is.

Pretty much.

Because tier 9 completely ruined tier 7 before superships were added. Now that it got humbled a bit and isn't always top tier anymore, tier 7 is playable again while tier 9 kept all of its OP ships mostly intact. Good ridance tier 9.

Good. Stuff like dragonflags were one of the worst things to happen in regards to wows economy longterm.

I would unironically watch his twitch streams. It'd be the most entertaining wows channel there.

I agree completely.

Well, 3 of them in a row were weekend battles, from a unicum. But yeah, I don't have 5 consecutives right now.

You did? Probably nobody took you seriously enough to read through your post to notice it. I can post the last 4 replays I've played if you want me to. (Only 4 cause I think that's all I've played in the past week. One of them on a separate day even). Not particularly good battles either. Shamelessly.

Name one. And let me guess, you're one of those players that has it so easy because you got preferential matchmaking, correct?

Please my guy, stop eating drugs for breakfast.

Oh man just read that description. This is the stuff of legends.

I didn't realise credits were ever considered abundant.

Not really, since one is taking out a good ship. Midway is also "the worst tier 10 cv" according to stats, despite arguably being the strongest (alongside haku).
