Also add submarines and tier XI ships!

How about, shells ignoring enemy ships at almost point blank distance? (In a minotaur against a dd)!

What happens with the many players that have played many hundreds to even thousands of battles in coop and yet cannot muster their way in a tier 5 ship in randoms?

Seriously allow rental tier xi ships to randoms? Yesterday I met a guy who had 42 battles in randoms and his highest tech tree ship was a tier iv, yet this guy purchased himself a Graf Zeppelin which he was completely clueless on how to play and also had played himself a few matches, oh surprise, in rental tier 8 & 10 submarines. There is a significant amount of players that work themselves throughout tech tree lines and are still completely incapable of knowing what their ships are for and how they should be played but now everyone can play a tier 11 as well!

Nice, so for more balance we are getting more smoke with HE spam and dw torpedoes....

That Santa looks creepy as f@...

Seriously, "balance"? Isn't this the same company that has caused imbalance in the game by introducing HE spamming battleships as well as rapid HE spamming smoke cruisers including many other things? Noone asked for subs, yet you shoved them down our throats, you have buffed them even though their in game numbers are already small (and please consider they are also for free) meaning not many players are really into them. There was a recent match where 2 dds and a cruiser had to occupy themselves by trying to sink a submarine that had infiltrated our lines (also note that the submarine was already low in terms of hp points left) yet our asw measures were really slow to take it out when spotted? Is this balanced?

Seriously? You mean that potential damage is not worth it?

Unfortunately potential damage is not rewarded at all, that's a major problem. There could be one or two ships trying to delay an enemy push while his "teammates" are taking shots from further out and a more safe place, in the end the snipers get rewarded but not the ones doing all the hard work. Having battleships sitting back doesn't really benefit one's team since it's the dds and cruisers that will have to do cap contesting, while they're more vulnerable and the battleship plays from safety again. At this point ranked doesn't really mirror someone's potential and skill, also the small number of ships and witnessing 1-2 ships from your team go down in the very first minutes of the match is almost a guarantee you're up for a defeat since usually your team will stop trying to win and will start trying to farm.

What's "crew 2.0"?

Mind you I have a division mate who "torpedoed" a Buffalo in his Friesland. How? He became the torpedo! :) Buffalo didn't see that coming and went down.

x2, get to learn the basic mechanics first

Atlantico looks very similar to Greek battlecruiser Averof so why not start working on that as well? I'd love to have Averof in game.

So, dds are now taking damage like crazy and yet you're interested in buffing up subs even more.... Great "fix"

Why don't throw in a free commanders' respec since you're changing such a valuable skill? At least one week I'd suggest. @MrConway @Crysantos @YabbaCoe It is a big change as far as I can tell and it's getting by-passed by a quick patch and a sidenote... We really need to experiment whether it is still worth to spec into SE which so far destroyers' class heavily depended upon for survival. Also note that it is dds that usually are the first to brawl in the first minutes of the match since they have to contest caps and spot not to mention submarines' chasing....
