I understand your frustration, but like just now when I was in my Atago and a Iowa one shot me through the front of my ship. That;s the issue with making the MMO games "fun" they have to try for everyone not just you. So sadly sometimes we have to be the fun for someone else. Although if you would like for Cruisers to be able to one shot Battleships too I guess we could get rid of fire!

Yes introducing a class of ships just to hunt itself would be somewhat silly, I guess in defense of WG pretty much everything else in the game will do that role better too!

Ohhhhh if I came across as thinking that would be an easy task I apologize, because that sure wasn't my intention!!!

Could it work like spaced armor in WOT(as I understand it)each layer having its own calculation,

I mean clearly we have to wait for the final figures, but right now I just don't get the concept, other than hunting other RN cruisers I just can't see a role for them in game.

The trick is going to be staying alive between cool downs of the parties!

I think its fair to say they will need significant changes to them before they are released, because right now given the nearly 40% battleship rate in game you won't have a prayer against one unless its stupid enough to run into your torpedoes but.... even then you really wouldn't be able to finish one off with your 6in guns and you would be dead before you are reloaded. What's disappointing for me is I have been saving up my free XP since the German CA's where released last Oct for them and right now I'm not planning on playing the line(assuming nothing changes).

Liked your video although, I don't think the speed boost will be any use at all(any time you what to race my Iowa shells in one I'm happy to demonstrate!). As for the removal of HE I am very much less sure than you are we will ever see it back! It seems that WG want to make the British Cruisers(like the French tanks in WOT)and something that is very niche. Not quite sure of their reasoning for that, perhaps they are worried about population balance and this will be their 5th cruiser line. It's interesting that the only other time they have run into balance issues with releasing a ship (causing LONG delay to it)t was the HMS Campbeltown which was hugely disappointing to alot of people.

I understand what they have said, However WG in my view are wrong and it shows the difference between a international company and one from the former soviet block. Playerbase doesn't necessarily translate to overall interest or adding anything to the game(the Russian ships might have a large player base and often OP but they don't seem popular and I without doubt there will be nowhere near the spike in players following the introduction of Russian BB's that we got after German ones.

I'm not Austrian but I read pretty much anything I can find on the subject and would be really excited to see some of their ships in the game. So while the Italian playerbase might be small that doesn't mean it's introduction wouldn't be a success (I would argue that it would be much more popular in the EU and American servers than the Soviet line is)

Right there would be no logic whatsoever in having a HE premium cruiser if they removed it from everything else.

Signed

I agree with you personally I would have added them 5th ahead of the French and Russians, but there you go, I guess in defense of WOT mid and higher tiers was always going to be something of an issue (unless you use US clones, but they made a clone line with China so I suppose anything is possible)

the feeling seems to be a premium ship before the end of next year(maybe sooner)and a line not before 2018

You must be missing something thats what I said........................ and as for the split I was talking within the people that voted to leave as to what it meant from those that think its a break from europe to those that think we will remain in the single market. that withstanding you are delusional if you don't think 51 to 49% is tight its like 2.5% of the total number of voters As you seem to have misunderstood the point of what I said, I will try again, there are those around the world whom would have you believe that this vote was simply a case of Xenophobic Nationalism, my point was it is much more complex than that, The irony is I was defending those of you who hold a view that doesn't match my own, sadly I doubt I would receive the same in kind,

Totally agree with this.............. What is interesting about the Britex vote(and perhaps the genius of the campaign)is that it means such different things to different people from isolationism to international engagement. For those of you living across Europe please note that the vote was very very tight and even among those that voted to leave there was a split and they weren't all xenophobic nationalists(and thats from someone who voted to stay and is totally gutted we left) The one thing though that the vast majority of us (across Europe) should agree on is that while British Policy to Europe and the World was driven by self-interest, the world is a mach better place without the National Socialists of Germany dominating it and the UK played a significant role in that. Someone earlier mentioned Canada, funnily when I was in the US I worked with quite a large number of French Canadians and they where actually most grateful for the fact that Britain had allowed them to develop without being swallowed up by the US. Now granted the Native Americans(not sure if thats the correct term for Canadian Indians!)might not be so thankful, but its fair to say they would have fared no better under the US and many many times worse under the Spanish.

You have to wonder about WG logic,so HE spam is an issue........................ lets nerf the hell out of a line that ISN'T EVEN IN THE GAME YET and remove HE from them (the first ships other than carriers(and theirs a point will RN CL's get HE for its secondaries?) AND then have a special where the goal is to SET FIRES!!!!!!!!!!!! you actually can't make things like that up

To defend WG I think British Tanks well the Med ones like all nations there is good and bad the line started off with 4 strange tanks then 2 outstanding ones 1 pretty good one (in the Comet) and then seems to tail off at the top. I guess its like US Battleships people don't rate it largely because it ends with the Montana

really like that suggestion, off topic slightly I have always thought it would be nice to have your new ships launched (over just appearing in your port)

That's actually a really good idea and would have killed a few birds with one stone

It would seem also a lower chance of citadels

what do you mean??? I'm getting rear gunner on my Captains skills!!!

OK given the concept nothing else......... what role can these cruisers play............... They will have no HE so it won't be fighting BBs, no defensive fire so not escorting AA support, high arc guns(and no HE) so it won't be DDs, perhaps cruisers???? but given the short range guns/light hitting(due to 6inch guns) and poor armor that's questionable.

We are getting off the point if WG released a line of Islamic State gunboats I would want them balanced, playable and interesting. Fact is they aren't(at least right now), Right now its RN cruisers so love the UK or hate it it's in the best interests of the game that the line has a least a chance to be playable

To be the not the most broken line don't you have to actually be in the game first!!!!!!!!!!!!!
