I’m going to avoid randoms and stick to co op until I can see what the fallout of subs are. On the upside I am loving playing Submarines - in Silent Hunter 3 now there is a very good submarine game.

It will work too, WG know how popular German capital ships are and a decent chunk of the community will not be able to resist. Have to give it to WG they are cunning devils.

I have seen others say on here that a specific submarine survey will be coming out, the problem is WG don’t give a damn what we say. If your willing to play in random battles with submarines present, as far as WG is concerned that is all the data they are interested in.

Deadeye actually makes sense as a skill in the submarine meta, WGs mistake was implementing it prematurely.

Last mysterious gift I got was a coffee machine and it certainly wasn’t from WG. Still lucky you and I look forward to find out what’s in the box.

WG are well aware a lot of people are not exactly confident about the introduction of subs ( To put it exceedingly mildly). However they are confident most people will submit to WGs will and just endure playing randoms despite the presence of subs, so I’m avoiding random battles and hoping if enough other people do the same WG might just panic a bit and take the hint.

I had to settle for the any other comments box at the bottom to at least leave some feedback

It’s such a awful design concept and yet WG seem adamant we don’t know what we are talking about. Sadly the only way WG will learn is if enough people get chased off from random battles so the population drops.

I have to admit I’m curious how the weekend casuals will react to Submarines in random battles. Then again some men just want to watch the world burn.

I might mess around in the Halloween modes but that’s it. WG have made it clear subs are happening and they have no interest in balancing them for the foreseeable future. Maybe it’s time for me to call it quits with this game after all, a shame despite the odd frustrations I have had fun here.

I’m just glad I’m avoiding random battles for this update being a guinea pig for WG doesn’t really appeal to me, and it doesn’t sound like you lot are enjoying it over much either.

Not sure if it’s true but I have heard the new German BC line don’t have turtle back citadel armour. Does anyone know if that’s true or not?

I remember in earlier tests depth charges dropped from BB air strikes did hit surface ships and this was used by some to attack DDs in smoke. Im going to guess OP saw a video from this earlier iteration of testing.

It is possible this is just part of WGs almighty testing process and will soon be changed. Alternatively a cynic might see it as a nerf that paves the way for new premium battleships with better ASW. I guess it depends how much you trust WGs intentions…

Im hopeful there will be lots of Mikasa’s around utterly nuts but at least funny to play full secondary build.

Apparently so, they come at tiers 6,8 and 10.

Well they said when they did the video that detailed information will be published “next week”, so probably we will get information on Friday (maybe tomorrow but I doubt it) and the event will start sometime probably in the following week or if they are keen during the weekend.

Of that I have no doubt, and as WG are not offering captain retraining to adjust ships for ASW either a lot of people will go into battle very unprepared or spend plenty on retaining. Still in game chat should get pretty entertaining.

Well if people want to try subs let them, if surface ship players are smart they will avoid random battles so they are not guinea pigs. Let WG deal with the fallout from such a lazy and poorly developed testing process.

Sorry please ignore Apologies if you already know but the news article about the German early access battlecruisers has some community tokens you can claim, hopefully that might get you over the threshold. https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/general-news/german-battleships-early-access/

At the risk of showing my age it’s from the film Demolition Man, where 3 sea shells are used in place of toilet paper.

Not a high damage score by any means but I hunted and killed their DDs took the caps and ran away to ensure the win, I even got complimented for it.

It is disappointing that WG would remove such a choice so soon after creating it in the first place, and I seriously doubt the ‘farming’ of doubloons was so sever it could have harmed WGs revenue. Even if they felt people were using the crates as a way to farm doubloons was unacceptable, surely they could have greyed out the relevant crates once you had all available ships, or just remove their tier 5 box. It takes some time to accumulate 30,000 community tokens for the tier 7 anyway.

Dear god that’s terrifying. Oh well WG knows best apparently
