Streaks of that size isn't unusal either way tbh, most just dont notice when they get 10+ wins in a row. Must also most notice when they have 10+ losses in a row.

More passive and probably less.

Well they might need the money soon after all!

That is my point... ANY mechanic can always be "balanced"... I didn't say skillgap was eliminated with CVs, it was WGs goal with the rework as I'm sure you are well aware of. Would you say they had a massive success in regard to this one parameter? I think my ballistic missile ships can achieve that goal much better My "suggestion above was to demonstrate how one can always "balance" any mechanic depending on certain criteria, it does not always make a fun or even good addition. In fact my personal opinion of my own suggestion here, would be that I would probably find it to subtract from the wish to play this game. Your questions regarding my CV skill has nothing to do with the point I was trying to make. Especially as I did not claim CVs are OP in the previous post. but to make some quick answers spesifically to my own CV gameplay: 1) They are OP in the right hands for certain. While my FDR play is nothing amazing, I certainly managed to make people frustrated and unhappy to a level I am unable to do in other any other ships. Maybe you enjoy griefing and toxic gameplay. We are all different... 2) I really wanted to give CVs the benefit of the doubt. And unlike many others that just whine, I hope you agree I tried. 3) 226 battles is about 1% of my total games, hardly a massive amount in that regard. Especially as i prefer tier 9-10, yet The more I played, the more boring I found it. A subjective thing of course. Many things get can get repetitive after a while and people get bored. i have 2000 battles in Montana, but I still enjoy taking it for a battle nowadays. 4) I do want to see how to make CVs attacking me as hard as possible - from the CV side. It's no good moaning CVs are OP without even trying yourself (regardless of skill level). Point 2 and 4 is the same reason I tried submarines and superships.

The exact item/mechanic is not relevant, it could be aliens airstrike coming in to disintegrate your opponent with a neutrino death ray (has to be a "lot" of neutrinos). However as some whine that CVs are real as an argument to include them, most are also aware that ballistic nukes are real. And as its just a game, we can tweak its parameters as we want. For example 100% hitrate, or 50%. Pick a number. So here is one suggestion to include this marvelous addition to wows: A ship spawns with 1 missile. LMB launches it and it strikes the most healthy enemy ship killing it instantly. === But wait, you say "thats overpowered!" I agree, so lets make it more fair. The hitrate can be tweaked to 50% (or any other number) so the ships average damage becomes "balanced" ? Maybe it can have more missiles but each does less damage? There can be a tiny chance the missile blows up on launch, killing the ship itself? And so on and so forth, statistically it can be tweaked forever until it is "balanced". Its also a real weapon (realism ftw). I am also sure by statistical probability there are some that would love to play such a ship. But i suspect most would be happy if my excellent suggestion is never implemented. Also please note that it only requires a single LMB click to play, almost eliminating skillgap and prevents very good or bad players from massively influencing the battle. NOTE: If anyone is uncertain: i can confirm there are elements of sarcasm in this post.

Can I have ballistic nukes now then? So people can learn to play around them? After all there are CVs apologists that feel that this can be balanced also (in terms of dmg/wr), and I'm sure they are right. The question remains if it's going to be a fun and engaging mechanic. That said I probably should not engage with individuals that enjoy griefing and toxic behaviour ingame and the forum. Bad me!

Because discord has a crap interface and is spyware?

It certainly doesn't offer much "assistance" as in a positive aspect :D I love especially situations where a cruiser is spamming me (in a BB) but he's showing a bit too much broadside. And backing away from me, lets say range 10-12km. Reasonably short distance for a near static target. Salvo 1: Aimed at the bow plating in order to pen and hopefully go through front citadel armor. Horizontal aim about 1/4 from the waterline. - All shells into the water WAAAY before Salvo 2: Same place, just now at deck height: Most shells into the water Salvo 3: Screw aiming anywhere precise, aim just above deck on the arse of the cruiser and just score ANY sort of structural hits! Feels frustrating.

Lost because the CV ran and my shells was 2 seconds late...

Any moment now it'll be a fkuEuro1337 code coming!

No need to make it happen earlier than needed...

WG is riding the FOMO train again and some people are running after it?

Fight fire with fire? or in this case, fight abnormal-cell-growth-disease with abnormal-cell-growth-disease!

Playing them was boring (loved the graphics though) and playing against them was usually just frustration or an easy kill. Not terribly exciting or engaging at all. Now if we can add a few more nerfs to the CVs...

But the shell traps and point blank AP spam from other BBs will

Because people think it's great for pushing. Which it is if you're 1 on 1. But it's just great in ANY 1 vs 1 situations, which is what one should aim to create if possible. Yoloing in randoms before midgame gives about 0 damage anyways :P

0 dollar

Does the unknown russian commander have any specials or increased skills? Somehow I guess I'd rather prefer a "Halsey/Kutnezov" for other countries..

I'm sure Great Leader in Russia will approve of this.

A massive 0.2% occurrence :P

I am still looking forward to getting ballistic missiles and see people adapt to dumbass gameplay. At least it's some public info! not bad. CVs are still here! not good. Holy crap, someone learned to make clickbait videos.

The server hamsters are on a strike due to poor working conditions! I mean that little wheel next to "logging in" is going pretty slowly...

10 steam games? 2-4 amazing board games? 4-5 RPG core rules and some extra books to start your life as gamemaster? (just to stick to the theme of games)

I'd be good with paying a monthly fee for the enjoyment I had until 2018 instead..
