No, because she is OP (she shouldn't be obtainable in any way OR the rest should be buffed to her lvl..WG could also nerf prem ships, they have the right to do that) - are those captains OP?

Yes, OP legacy premium ships are a problem (dunno about IA in that sense). A different problem, you constantly go off-topic with curious analogies. Something can be done about those captains. An alpha-item? Not so much. Iwaki Alpha is subject to ship balancing (i.e. base stats while captains are multipliers).

This isn't exactly about JD but about questionable design decisions. And why someone would ask for the ability to level the playing field: Because he's an effin strong legacy item in a pvp environment.

The point...ah.

So why did you bring up your Gremy then?

You are repeating yourself...

Wait - so now you're implying that J. Dunkirk and Stephen are OP like Gremy and that's the reason they are timed gated content? Some here said that those captains hardly made any difference... Doesn't belong here but there is and was gnashing of teetht over that. So give players the chance to make an effort Above and beyond the norm? Even a monkey was able to complete that collection...

It's - from a balancing and gameplay perspective - a stupid design decision to introduce these multiple power levels anyway, regardless of this discussion. It will end up much like the gold ammo situation in WoT which was a can of worms from the start. Either you balance the game/armor for standard ammo OR for gold ammo - otherwise the difference between the two has to be so small that the incentive to buy GA doesn't exist anymore. Yamamoto is also a bad decision. What if a team decides to feed one player the kills in competitive? Is that how the meta will develop? But I guess that gold ammo is still worse than this.

Hello, I want to address a problem that got introduced when you made special captains with improved skill sets available as time gated content. Those captains provide a competitive advantage (unlike for example ARP ships which are purely cosmetic). In clan wars they will become the "best in slot" option, "secretly" they already are that in other game modes. Strong "legacy items" are always a balancing problem in RPG, this will especially be the case in a pvp environment. Thus they (and similar items) should be obtainable by every player at any time through permanent campaigns. edit: Finally something official A "discussion" is going on on the forums: Sincerely

Nah, it's an observation of your abilities and intentions. Edited. This post has been edited by the moderation team due to inappropriate remarks.

If you are serious you are indeed unworthy of my elaborations. Also you never answered ANY of my questions thus you also are dense (I looked it up an it in fact is NO insult so don't cwy cwy) or a troll. Guess I'll spend my time in the suggestions thread instead.

Again, you don't make any sense. A banana is a fruit, a grape is a fruit. Which one is better?

How's that tricky? He'll improve each and every ship and class in the brit tech tree, apart from maybe upcoming CV. I run smoke screen expert and joat on all my brit CL for example. I run em/joat/sse on some DD. And joat is sure as heck strong on those brit BB.

What kind of response is that? I already told you that he is just different and he works different and is not a brit captain so a direct comparison isn't possible. Also there is no issue because he can be obtained by everyone. This thread is not about Yamamoto vs Dunkirk...what the eff are you on? Even if he was vastly better it's still bad for the game that two other captains that are great improvements to your tool set aren't permanently achievable. So are you trying to derail this on purpose or can't you stay on topic? NOW answer my question, will you?

It's a real issue, I didn't fall for anything...

He is different, he makes British ships so much stronger, especially the CL...and every special captain should be permanently achievable like Yamamoto. Argue against that - will you?

That isn't even a reasonable response to his post and it doesn't make any sense.

Where did I call you a no-lifer...no, Edited - but surely unworthy of my attention. Edited This post has been edited by the moderation team due to inflammatory remarks.

Fiji is effin strong...didn't play Mogami in ages tho.

Those players are id.iots.

I think there's enough idiot proof content in the game, no need to proceed down that road if you ask me...

I've seen games with only few BB and a ton of cruisers...but yes, there are more BB than cruisers in the queue, that's undeniable and a well-known fact. Still, cruisers are not worthless, even at tiers 5 and 8.

All the tiers.

I see quite a lot of cruisers...quite often even topping the score boards.

To sum this thread up. Cruisers can do a ton of things. The timing is highly important.
