What happened to WG saying premium carriers will only be sold to experienced player?

Speaking of this thread, Cartonetz seems to have missed something in his last translation. I remember someone asking the dev about Gearings performance and the reply was that Gearing was slightly behind Khaba in damage and way ahead of Shimakaze. This was the google translation. original link here http://forum.worldofwarships.ru/index.php?showtopic=33727&view=findpost&p=2226402 I'd like a better translation to get what it's saying, because it seems to me they know Shimakaze is doing badly when it comes to damage. There's also some new answers on the 0.5.6 bulletin thread, I'm sure Cartonetz is already on it, but something quick, the buff to Atlanta is not going to be a torpedo buff http://forum.worldofwarships.ru/index.php?showtopic=54409&view=findpost&p=2241307 It also seems they initially planned something to work on reducing torpedo soup more this patch but decided not to do it in the end. Also, the American flag camo for Texas is made for the NA server and not planned for the RU server.

That doesn't mean premium owners are better players. Also being an average has nothing to do with how much they play, how much the follow the game or how many premiums they own. Someone who happens to have a lot of money to spend might just buy all premiums and play them all day long even though he only played the game for two weeks, or maybe a very good player can't afford a premium no matter how much he wanted it.

Why would you assume the avergae joe haven't bought the ship? what, only good players and pros buy and play premiums? you think all joes still playing their Kumas and Wyomings for months now?

Well let's ask this question, What can Kagero do that Fletcher can't do? Both have high alpha, fast torpedoes that goes about the same speed. Both can deal massive damage with their torps to any ship that is unfortunate enough to get hit. Fletcher can do it faster with its faster torpedo reload unless you take the shorter ranged, more dangerous to use 8km torps. Both can stealth torp and invisifire (with Kagero needing AFT for that). Both can cap and contest points. This is where the advantages of Kagero ends, while Fletcher has more. It can dog fight, it can shoot down planes, it has longer smoke. Fletcher practically is the counter to Kagero while it also can counter BBs just as good as Kagero can. So yeah, the question: you had a nice match in a Kagero and made it work. Could you have done the same with a Fletcher? can you say the same thing around? Shimakaze vs Gearing story is not as onesides but it remains the same: Gearing can do everything Shimakaze can but slightly worse, while doing many other things way better than Shimakaze. They even get the same detection range so even in stealth Shimakaze can't win in that unlike Kagero.

It's not just the Soviet ships anymore. From the data mined from the 0.5.6 public test server, Indianapolis is getting a radar.. at tier 7. You know what that means for ranked battles right? It's not like the ship needs something to make it stands out from Pansacola, she's already much more armored, stealthier and longer ranged. What amazes me is how they pull out premies from the shop due to being OP, they admit that Atago is borderline OP, yet they continue to make premiums that way. On the good news however, the data also says they added a new consumable to the client: "seaplane bombers." Maybe this could be when we see Tone (and eventually Ise class)? Hopefully they don't make it OP.

They didn't just gave her smoke, they gave her more range and more RoF as well, which means what they said regarding the intent of giving her 19km range was BS.

Yeah, couldn't you at least copy the notes from ASIA server? they were much more detailed and had more effort put into them than what we on EU got.

If they think she's in the right place, then why not buff the ships under her (the 3 regular ships) up to her level then?

Flamu just happened to have one nice game with alone BBs giving him no trouble at all. I rather look at the stats and they all say Shima and lagero are underperforming.

The 18+ RPM of the USN 5inch was also achieved for a limited time only, after which the barrels had to left to be cooled down. Look at Kirov.. 2 RPM yet it gets 4 RPM in the game.

Why would they need an AP shell? it's not like you will ever fire them. They can just give her HE shells and that's it.

Yeah these were on reddit

There's a model of her in the game it seems

So you quit the game for 6 months and are probably rusty with the game but you blame a change that never happened and demand a buff?

I was going for either instead of both. I should have made that clear I guess.

If the give the high tier IJN DDs an additional 2 km for their gun range, maybe they can use their stealth fire properly without having to take AFT. Since the USN gets 18 rpm for their 5" which was the maximum for (and only for short amount of time, the guns had to be cooled downed after that) then Give Kagero and Shimakaze 9-10 rpm which was the maximum rof for their guns. Fletcher pretty much had the same good torpedoes that Kagero has, sacrificing a bit of range for a bit of speed. Unless Fletcher's torps get nerfed too, I can only see improving the IJN DDs guns to be the way.

Cool, just come to our Discord chat and say hello. That's where we mostly hang out. https://discordapp.com/channels/160027539471990784/160027539471990784

No proof, but if you want to open a thread about wanting the IJN flag, the mod will just close it right away. Happened before and many threads were closed. Also, I don't feel sorry for someone who get hit by 2.5km base detection range torpedoes. If 3 Yamato's were in a division and all 3 decided to fire 27 18" shells at you at the same time, it will look silly as well.

But when there was strong opposition for excluding the Imperial German flag, WG just ignored it. When the majority of the playerbase wanted the historical IJN flag, WG ignored it. Do you know why? because they don't know. Our regional mods (the EU and NA office) severely oppress any opinions on such and doesn't send an accurate feedback (if at all) regarding it. So Lesta never realize what's really going on outside the RU server, while they regularly check the RU forum so they know what their players think and want.

Since it's in testing I guess they are not sure what tier they want it to be.

I hope the Torpedo defense stat come back.

It's fine if they decide they want OP premiums, but only if they admit their game is p2w.

According to what I read on NA. I don't have access to GM3D.
