Well then you have to nerf Nurnberg too since all 3 tier 6 cruisers are doing just fine at the moment. The only thing OP about Cleveland atm is its AA.

Well, this is actually pretty good Q&A compared to the other "watch the news" one.

So this is Moltke they're talking about? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS_Moltke

I love that guy complaining about Soviet ships being underperformig compared to others.

Each ship gets a commander. The commander can gain XP and earn skill points. You spend those points on commander skills to make your ship better. When you buy a new ship, you can use the previous commander on it but you have to retrain the commander (you don't have to if you spend some doubloons). It's not recommended to use 1 commander for all your ships (note that each commander only works for the nation he's from, but you can use him for any class of ships). Only transfer the commander when you're ready to sell the ship and buy the next one. Premium ships can use any commander (from their nation) without having to retrain so you can use premiums to train your commander. If you're asking about what Japanese ships you should play, they're generally all pretty good. They can be a little bit harder to play at lower tiers because they focus less on guns and more on torpedoes. If you decide to play battleships, then you should know that the first one you can buy is a little bit underwhelming but they are not representative of their class. By the time when you reach tier 4, which is where the fun begins, all Japanese ships are more or so pretty good especially the cruiser Kuma and destroyer Isokaze. Advice from me, stay away from carriers if you're knew to the game until you get a little it more familiar with it. I hope that helps. Enjoy the game.

WatchTheNewstm The new soontm

The devs didn't plan MK this way. First of all, she was buffed before coming to live server. Seconds of all, they can't make the range of the ship 17k with AFT because that means she will get less range without it, and people will complain about the short range of the ship. So, they made a compromise between her base range and her range with AFT. Look at the preliminary stats of the tier 8 soviet cruiser, base range of 17km and 4 km torps only. It's obvious it will receive the same treatment as Gnevny at tier 5 compared to Grem.. they know they went far with MK's stats and they're not going to repeat it with that tier 8 cruiser.

Taken from the NA server, the following Q&A is translated from the Chinese server

Personally, I'd love to see some Akizuki-class and Ooyodo-class. I love those 10cm guns!

Unless radar can spot ships behind islands.. the cruiser pops radar at the east side of Two Brothers and spots all the DDs at the western side. That would be terrible. This is just a game mechanic that devs had to come up with to counter the number of DDs.. the fact only tier 8 cruisers gets it shows that. My opinion is that devs never wanted such mechanic and are forced to introduce it for that reason. US cruisers are already being shown as underperforming, and RU cruisers are not in the game and can be balanced around having radars. I also think they want to test the two versions of radar, one long range but short duration, and the other is shorter range, but longer duration.

Stats are not bad at deciding what's overperforming and what's underperforming, but there's one thing that stats doesn't show: fun. A ship can be balanced according to stats but it's absolutely horrible to play. These little things that the devs doesn't keep in mind and that's why we have Mogami with 51.4 seconds turret traverse for no reason. Stats say the ship is fine, so they will never change it, but it's not like if you buff that to, say, 40 seconds then the ship will suddenly become OP again.

Thanks, but I see no point for the beta testers. You guys, the alpha testers, had to apply and sign an NDA, play the game with low numbers of players and early, sometimes might be broken stage of the game. BW and CBT players all had to do is get their name picked by random or find a code somewhere.. so either way, by luck. We weren't bound by NDA too. Oh yeah, I forgot you had to put up with the beta players on the forums when CBT started... all these "OP CVs" threads back then!

They ask for feedback, but they say that devs don't consider it at all and that it's "just a grain of salt." So all these feedback threads you see are just formalities.

Well, the Russian sure told the devs about it http://forum.worldofwarships.ru/index.php?showtopic=46073&view=findpost&p=1919091

I'm not the one with the answer, but this is the answer we got from them each time they were asked.

There is no wrong is stats. Stats show that OP Russian premiums are not OP, they also show that the flag is banned. They showed that patch 0.5.3 didn't have any bugs on the test server despite people giving their feedback grain of salt on them.

They've already answered those. The first being "they are not overperforming, just competitive and comfortable to play" and the seconds is "the flag is banned in some areas in Germany." No matter what you try or how you try to ask, they won't change their answers.

High tiers gameplay is a like fast sinking ship that they're desperately trying to fix by removing the water with buckets. Yes, the pun is intended.

Are you that desperate for a female companion?

By 2016 he means December 31, 2016

This is a pretty informative series.. +1

It's always been 1/4 speed.

That's why I'm skeptical about giving tier 8 cruisers radar..

Good players =/= Players with money that only they can buy premiums. If anything, then MK should be bought by players that haven't reached high tiers just like any other premium out there, especially since it's a high tier Soviet cruiser with a very high demand on RU server.

You're not supposed to kill them in 30 seconds, you're supposed to know where they are, chase them out of smoke or cap-circles. They're trying to give us some way to counter DDs, not make them useless and extinct.
