I hope I see you in the game on my team with it again

I'm glad these are weeklies

I have checked warships.today and indeed, not only RU server didn't play a lot of RU ships, but they also play the game much less than EU or ASIA in general. I think the game isn't as popular in RU and most players probably went back to WoT.

I think by popular he meant positive feedback. RU server really didn't have much positive feedback on the new line, unlike the EU server which has more positive than negative.

I'm pretty sure the average joe is also playing tier 3-4 and the stats are also not as bad as people make them to be.

I think you are over-exaggerating a bit. If detection was so important then IJN DDs would be OP and IJN BBs would be so weak. Soviet cruisers gets the longest gun range for a reason, so they can shoot at targets that can't shoot back. Just check the stats of warships.today on NA server (the other servers are not out yet) for yesterday and see how "badly" these ships are doing, even with all this bad feedback. To give an example, Budyony has 40k average damage (average damage for tier 6 cruisers is 26k). This doesn't mean much about the ship, but it says a lot about these reviews of how bad these ships are.

It is the same with the NA server and US ships. They believe that WG actually hates American ships and making US ships bad on purpose, and most people there trashes IJN ships all the time and ask them to be nerfed.

Well, if you check Warships.today of the NA server, you'd see they are doing way better than what people are saying. Of course the sample size is still small but only the tier 7 so far is showing bad stats.

I've noticed a long reload on the torpedoes which is unusual for tier 3.

According to this poll on RU, the players are not very happy with the new line. One of the few examples I spotted, is Chapayev vs Kutuzov. The devs reply is that they haven't played enough games in them to form a good opinion.

I wish they'd answer why they cancelled our Q&A even though they promised it will return since April last year.

Guys, I'm sorry but this is not the thread for this. No need for insults.

I already know, it's a worse Mikhail Kutuzov

USN dive bombers have a really small manual panicked area of attack, maybe that's it?

Why would someone ask for a repair party for Chapayev? Regular tier 8 cruisers don't get that.

Well, there's a fix for that which already exists in WoT and doesn't require a depot. I don't know why the devs never included that. In WoT, if you go to modules, you can right-click any module you previously purchased and sell it directly. The reason I never visited the depot there is because there was no reason other than buying consumables with discounts.

Doesn't the game sell you all your modules when you sell a ship though?

Chinese server does what they want, so I wonder if it will come to the other server too!

In the 3rd pic, different tubes are in red than in 2nd pic.

Seems like my experience with her as well.

Do you have a Karlsruhe too?

What buffs? The torpedo detection that can be countered by mounting the Target Acquisition module, Torpedo Acceleration that is countered by a buff to the torpedo detection captain skill, or to moving last stand to tier 2, which doesn't affect high tier DDs anyway? In fact, the reason we have this DD infestation is because the overreaction of the forums.

The nation balance doesn't work. It only takes in account the same tier ships. If you have a Hatsuharu, Fubuki, Benson and Mahan, you can still see HatFu vs MaBen. It only works if for example you have 2 Fubukis and 2 Bensons. As for RU DDs, maybe if WG fixes the turret destruction that nobody wants in this game, they'd be played more.

I think that just shows that WG only listen to the most vocal angry mobs. The problem with high tiers isn't that IJN DDs are OP. They were not buffed ever since closed beta. The meta has changed. Instead of fixing the gameplay, like making cruisers effectively counter DDs without the fear of being nuked by BBs, and by not making players scared to shitz of risky gameplay because they are too afraid of repair costs. I said it once and I'll say it again. If there was 5 Shimakaze's and they all fired torps, then to you, they are unavoidable and you will get hit, but only the torps of one of those Shimas will hit. All the other 4 will miss. Looking at the past 2 weeks stats, Shimakaze seems very close to Khaba and at tier 9, Kagero barely deals 2k more damage than both the other DDs, and have lower winrate and frags. Fubuki is actually worse than Benson which is better than Fubuki in both randoms and ranked. But to the majority of the playerbase, it doesn't matter. They just want less DDs at all costs. Hatsuharu is below average, for the last 2 weeks, it deals the same damage as Sims (yes, that SIms) and 2% lower winrate and lower frags. Harsuharu is the worst tier 7 DD at the moment.

Well, putting 3 IJN vs 3 USN DDs isn't really fair don't you think? And I don't think the meta for USN DDs is to be counter to IJN DDs, otherwise why do you need the long range on your torps starting from tier 7?
