Probably never. Used to be a thing, they've taken it out. If you want someone to shoot at you you'll need other humans. You can still learn stuff by shooting those bots

stronk argument, much wow

Thanks about that, at least if someones reading this afterwards will have easier time how long time can it take for them to fix it, reported that bug long ago... Afaik overmatch only overrules the autobounce rule at 60+°, but you still have to have enough penetration, that's the only way how you can explain things like BBs bouncing on DDs or 460s bouncing on a tier 8 BBs bow. Angle heavily enough - and your thin armour becomes thicker than the shell can penetrate. On a DD that's more RNG than the shell hitting angled enough to pen it, on BBs it's just a matter of hitting the more angled side of the pike-nose instead of the flatter one Tell me one time in the history of this game when 1v1-ing a BB with a Cruiser has been a good idea. Don't remember such a time existing. Something about big shells doing high damage to ships armoured enough to arm their fuses. Pretty sure cruisers best chance is either long range HE spam while kiting away or in some cases if the situation allows for it - rushing in to torp / AP the target. Have seen HIVs wrecking BBs with their AP at close ranges with very high efficiency. Also that deleting part - you can angle your main belt the same way BBs angle against a Yamato - just enough to bounce those shells, but give enough of it to make him try and shoot for it instead of your bow. It's not thick, but it's good enough - same idea that you can say about IJN BBs - their armour isn't thick, but you can angle it to have good enough result. Claim is: BBs are overbuffed. Your something to support that claim is one buff to one ship. Seems like I'm repeating myself a lot - one ship does or doesn't speak for whole class? And I already responded to this - you yourself say it's not overbuffing - which kind of is my point. All that senseless bi**hing about overbuffing and noone can actully point out how / when BBs have been overbuffed as they haven't You asked me to point out how IJN DDs and CLs are overbuffed, I asked where have I said it, you answered like I am speaking about BBs, I pointed out your screwup, you say I make no sense even tho I provided both - mine and yours - quotes, and now here we are. So - provide where I said anything like that? Or obviously still can't do it as I still ahevn't done it. It takes longer to kill the tank than the squishy or bruiser character, where have I heard that before? Oh, I think in every single game with any kind of differentiating between classes / units / characters. Almost like that's not something new Anything with torpedoes (well, enough torpedoes - 2 or 3 in most cases wouldn't guarantee a full kill) has the potential (and going by random games at seemingly more or less at least once per game) to delete a full HP BB. Don't remember other games having such an ability to onehit tank units. And before you say it - just because tank sits behind damage carry doesn't mean he's not a tank, it just means he's useless at his role (surprise surprise like noone knew that wast majority of BBs are useless) Kamikaze R, the one with the lower WR of both Kamikazes, was earned from Project R and Clash of the Elements. After Project R the Kamikaze R quickly got famous, and when her public sister - Kamikaze - got released afaik those sales went really well just because of how hyped the ship was. And isn't Fujin another of the same? Same ship, also for sale? Interesting how initial argument that Conq was played only by seasoned BB players carried no weight when everyone was yelling "NERF NERF NERF" And yet Alpha and Beta testers have no less potatoes than the released-game-population. I'm sure you've seen Beta players posting some of the stupidest things in this game, as well as people with 10k battles being more clueless than the average newcomer. Just because it's an old player doesn't mean it's good, sadly enough There's a reason why sealclubbers use those ships, it's not bcuz they are so weak that the newbies might stand a better chance, it's bcuz they are already better and they can exploit those advantages far better than the average newbie Yeah, with the best Hydro of the tier. Germans supposedly have "the best hydro" and they still have it worse than the Loyang Kidd, super hyped ship bcuz of all the predictions that it will be the best ship in this ranked season and that CVs can not drop it bcuz of the insane AA - keep lying to yourself that only committed / good DD players bought it

Fun part is you all are doing the crying of "muh no clue how to deal wid bigy bady BB" while I'm providing actual, factual arguments... That irony...

@Miessa3 learn to use quotes, it's bad enough that Dark Theme is still bugged and makes half of the text unreadable Bcuz DDs and most cruisers spamming nothing but HE never switching to AP is somehow different... And now when we have a BB line with an actual incentive to switch between them it's suddenly a problem for you One example of one ship receiving some change that you use as an argument to show how overbuffed BBs are. Then what is it - one ship is a showing example for whole class or your argument was pointless? Short term memory problems? I even separate out those quotes to what exactly I'm answering. You asked me to show how... what was it - DDs and CLs are overbuffed? Hmm, looks like it. Such a screwup, awkward Oh, so you are one of those talanted "I can't 1v1 a BB in a CA/L" types? Those generally are referred to as potatoes / windowlickers - whichever you prefer. Are you by any chance one of those who don't touch their A/D (or Q/E) keys, sails in a straight line for 10min, gets torped and then cries how OP torps are? Sounds like you might be.. I mean, usually they have around 40% WR but I guess exceptions are everywhere...

Aaaaand you lost me. Whoa, bigger shell has better fire chance, noooo way. Then again, if you take into account ships hitrate and fire rate, turns out CA/Ls are far more efficient at setting fires and keeping them burning even if the target repairs them. Magic, I know Oh look, ships with higher fire rate and better accuracy allowing to aim for non-burning areas are better at setting multiple fires! Remind me again, how many fires you usually don't repair? And thank god fire can be 100% repaired, because that is the only dmg BB takes and there is no situation when BB takes fire damage while no heal is available / more fire dmg than he'll be able to repair. Never happens! Some maths for you... Heal (except Colorado, Nelson, Lion, Conq) = 0.5% per second over 28s Burn = 0.33% per second per fire over 60 seconds (can get it down to 35-ish sec) Heal -> 14% 1 fire -> 12% to 20% depending on fire reduction build. Oh wow, who would have though?! Impossible! Heresy! Lies! This can't be happening! Reeeeeeeeeeeeee Others: Colorado: 0.66% per s over 28s -> 18.48% (oh look, single fire can still outdamage it) 3x RNs: 2% per s over 20s -> 40% (2 fires is equal, 3 fires will go equal even at full fire reduction. Nelson's a bit stupid, Lion and Conq have no armour and ridiculously long heal cd as a counter to that heal) - and you're not really supposed to try burning them down Which is a thing that has been explained long long time ago. DDs fight DDs -> low dmg targets. And they are the main class to go for caps, hide while spotting and so on If there would be more than 1 in a 100 BBs actually playing them correctly instead of camping DD dmg would be higher. Currently... pretty sure only Shima can equip torps that are long enough range to reasonably reliably reach them? And even then they are the wrong choice. By the time you get to them... That means their team is already collapsing and everyone in your team is fighting for the last scraps of damage they can get to make their scores look better I there is a BB who gets in a path of a DD and his torps... That BB will be screwed at least 9 times out of 10 if not more often. Best chance - take 1 or 2 trops of that salvo, get a flooding on you and hope your repair is ready / will be ready soon and there are no more torps on the way or no HE spamming firespewers nearby they do if you stop ignoring them Big, clumsy, unmaneuverable target, the easiest ship to hit, unable to run away or charge with any kind of speed with a really low rate of fire and longest dmg control cd (1.5x cruisers & CVs, 2x DDs) that - with the exception of 3 BBs outspotting 4 cruisers - can be outspotted by anyone even at full stealth build, being completely unable to use smoke for yourself while it still hides your enemy and incoming torps, from terrible to beyond pathetic accuracy, and armour in this game is barely relevant - most of it was designed to protect the ship at combat ranges far longer than what we have in the game and on top of that as far as HE is concerned - if you already don't have enough pen to wreck any BB you meet just get IFHE and you're good to go. Should I continue? "that's about it" indeed Flint and Black are not included in those lists as you can see. All of the ships included are / were accessible to everyone - and as such have both - good players and potatoes playing them. Otherwise GC is perfectly balanced, bcuz "playerbase"

And that's exactly what you got - a chance. 21 days of chance to be exact. And then WG was kind enough to give you 2 more days of chance because RU and NA had a bug with one of the missions (note how EU didn't) making it a total of 23 days of chance. And you blew it. Your own fault. I haven't been playing more than a few games every couple of days since late November, and I still managed to do the whole North Cape campaign, get the DoY, and then do the New Years campaign aswell - got all the ships and Scharnhorsts camo. There always was a timer, I always could see that I have plenty of time left to do it. Those who aren't crap at the game and generally don't hide their stats as they are too ashamed from what they can see there. Since you have to ask you clearly have no clue how valuable those signals can be.

"Yes, they were ok" is not included in "Yes they are better than previous missions". If you include extra explanations for the answer, include the neutral positive (just yes) and neutral negative (just no) The only mission I had a problem with was "destroy 3 turrets in one battle", and you still could just ignore and skip it.

I mean, you are the ones saying that they are... So you obviously should be able to point it out. I went as far as to provide you a full list, so it should have been really easy! Yet... Oh wow, one ship getting a buff now means all BBs are overbuffed, 10/10 logic right there. If by your logic one ship can be used to judge all ships of that type - I request immediate nerfing of DDs, CA/Ls and CVs based on Umikaze, Payfast and Kaga and buffing of all BBs based on Myogi. Give me one example of me saying they are overbuffed and I'll give you one example how. Oh wait, there are no examples of it making that another argument you've pulled out of your a** if that's not good enough prove how they are OP. Go ahead, do it. Pull some magical method out of your lying a** and do it. But once more - oh w8, you can't. Play between 4 and 8 CET on the morning, you'll see plenty of games with more than 7 BBs (or more than 7 DDs - now those games are cancer) at those hours with no CV being played. Don't plan to do it this weekend, might be up at that time mid-next-week. Can provide you those screens then. Once again - unless you are playing within the first few days of a new BB lines release you won't see that MM that you described. Unless you yourself can provide those screenshots of that being the case.

So you're blind too? 1st of all the campaign was supposed to end on 6:00 CET on 18th january, be happy it got extended by 2 days to 20th. And then - there was a live counting timer on the campaign itself, how blind do you have to be not to notice

because Yamamoto is a PERMANENT campaign not an EVENT

CAs & CLs still comfortably burn them down, exception being RN CLs who simply wreck BBs with their AP. "Oh but he can go bow on" - you are stealthy for a reason, position yourself. DDs still can shred BBs with their torps as turning when you self-spot them is too late even for the IJN torps that are spotted half a map away. CVs still drop and farm BBs, no problems there. As I said - stop looking at "BBs have strengths" and look at "BBs have strengths AND weaknesses". Literally the same reason why you all fail to deal with Conqs - you look at the positives, ignore that ships negatives and then try to push yourselve through where Conq's at his strongest. Good luck with that. Who is affected? Aircraft: offensively / Ships: defensively. Nerf to all ships as far as defense is concerned (including CVs) / Buff to all strike aircraft (so CVs as they are the only ones who have them). Assuming this is your failed attempt to interpret the IJN torp thing? IJN torps got increased spotting range. Affected: ships launching / ships potentially receiving hits. IJN DDs launching them nerfed (their torps are less likely to hit) / all ships can be hit so all ships got buffed (including IJN DDs) as they now are less likely to take a IJN torpedo. So your example fails there. No it wouldn't. No ship has AA = no ship can shoot down aircraft = no ship can retaliate to the CV. Or you maybe are unable to hit / damage any BBs in this game no matter what ship you play? If so you have some serious problems... Which ones? From those I mentioned WRs in last 2 weeks are as follow: 59.92% / 61.16% & 58.71% / 59.35% / 56.5% / 57.65% / 57.66% / 58.6% / 54.64% (more the case about AA) / 52.92% (more the case about Hydro) Care to refresh your statement? Or by your ideas those are not OP? I guess GC at 59.7% is well and truly balanced then.

They're performing fine, with some rare exception like GC or Missouri there are no overperforming BBs (while the list for clearly OP CVs, CA/Ls and DDs is quite long). Obvious strengths and weaknesses, which in most cases are really easily exploitable as long as you have at least half a braincell to use. Or you maybe have a way how to prove them to be "OP" as you claim?

I like how smooth the camera is, those "close-up sliding instead of turning" angles are a bit weird, but that's nothing really. Just a bit sad that port now takes so long to load (unless you have already loaded that particular thing in that particular session)

1st of all the campaign was supposed to end on 6:00 CET on 18th january, be happy it got extended by 2 days to 20th. And then - there was a live counting timer on the campaign itself, how blind do you have to be not to notice

Oh, I though highest ever saved up Yeah, Some credits mission + prem account + Missouri + flags and you earn several million in a game comfortably

See those arrows? They usually tend to show some sort of a progression, like one thing following after another. Just like you can't unlock Moskva from your Chapaev, as there is a Donskoi in the middle. 5.6k games played, dude srsly. Did you buy this account so you wouldn't have to start from 0 or what?!

I already said - if things like IJN torp nerfs are buffs - then they are to EVERYONE affected by them (including IJN DDs themselves) not just to BBs. Either it's not a buff or you can't be selective who you will say that buffed and who it didn't. BBs as a class are balanced. Of course there are great outliers like GC - but then again there is Payfast, Kutuzov, Saipan, Kaga, Umikaze, Kamikazes, Fujin, Gadjah Mhatever, Chung Mu, Gremyashchy, Clemson, Kidd, LoYang and I probably could name so many more...

That's exactly what that mod is. But WG have included it even in their own modpack as "perfectly fine to use", and exactly as DFens said: Exactly the reaction I got.

Solution: get the "X marks the spot mod". With very little practice you'll be able to aim by the minimap, and in cyclone you'll be able to comfortably stay at about 10km while shelling the helpless target (all that's needed is someone in your team spotting him for themselves as you then can still see them on your minimap. Did this a few times with Missouri, Amagi, Fiji and Algerie, works like a charm No idea why WG thinks that is any kind of acceptable. But yeah, no idea why Neptunes detection had to suddenly be so much worse than other RN CLs

One thing to keep in mind - tier 7 is basically backwards. The gunboat line - Shiratsuyu - is the better torpboat of the two. And the torpedo line - Akatsuki - is a pretty good gunboat

Actually there isn't even one person with a good argument of how BBs have been buffed. Not even one. I give you a full list and you still can't point it out. First to yell some bs, but as soon as you need to prove your words... Or you mean those "indirect buffs" like IJN DD torp nerfs and whatnot? Well, you can't be selective about who you think it buffs and who it doesn't. Or even going as far as claiming that removing BBs ability to use smoke and giving every ship in the game who's camping their a** off in some smokescreen the ability to self-spot a BB outside of it... Yeah, a 10/10 buff

Go ahead, be the 1st one who actually finds something to support this stupid claim. MM is proper if you play at a proper time. When the server population is basically extinct, MM takes whatever it can to get the game going. It has always been like that, and always will be. Talking about those games early on the morning here. That "right away" doesn't apply, unless there already is a full match of ships who have waited 3+ min except for one cruiser who'll get pulled in - chances of that ever happening are quite low I'm sure. Because I looked at that MM. To get over 5 BBs in a team all of them would have had to wait for over 3 min in the queue as then MM goes into a panic mode and just tries to make some match happen. And even if 1 out of every 10 Rank 1s is a potato, I'd take my chances dealing with the Rank 1 as that would still mean 9 out of 10 are dangerous. It's guessing and taking chances - are you going to leave that Rank 1 roam free and potentially wreck your team or are you going to deal with him as soon as you can just to be safe? How that the saying goes... "better safe than sorry" During the time when population size is reasonable it will happen, during the low population times - you'd need up to 12 ships out of which the following has to be true 0 to 2 CVs in queue With CVs - up to 20 (always scaling as an even number) / without CVs up to 22 (always scaling as an even number) BBs (depending on the number of DDs and CA/Ls) who are all in queue for more than 3 minutes (if they will be the "over 5 ships" class) With CVs - up to 20 (always scaling as an even number) / without CVs up to 22 (always scaling as an even number) DDs (depending on the number of BBs and CA/Ls) who are all in queue for more than 3 minutes (if they will be the "over 5 ships" class) At least 1 (always scaling as an odd number) CA/L in queue who is determined to play a CA/L if you can meet all those requirements then you can get your "instant game". I'm sure it happens every now and then, but it's quite an exception rather than any kind of a rule that's always happening if the queue looks like that it means you are playing between tiers 3 and 5 on the release of a new BB line. Stop sealclubbing. And again - those CAs clearly see what they are getting into.

Mistake that most people make: Amagi as a long range sniper. Yeah, she does well at it, but that's not her strength. Don't be afraid to close the distance, at medium-to-close ranges you can 1v1 even higher tier ships, just don't give them too many broadside shots at you. And if sh*t hits the fan - Amagi is the best kiting BB in the game right now. That's where her strengths are.

Which is why my comment didn't stop there. Should have red this part aswell Or TTT. Or OM. Or VKING. Or ADRIA. Or TDM. Or whatever other clan I'd recognize that is competent enough to carry their team. OMNI just the most known example of EU. Cruisers own fault for playing a cruiser at that time. He had enough time to see how his MM will look like, those numbers are displayed while you're waiting. Same thing as late night ranked - you can see how many what type of ships are in the queue, you know if you'll have 5 BB or 5 DD game before its even starting to load.
