A ship gets OP: WG has wet dreams about this ship. A ship gets UP: WG hates this nation and bias and crap.

Funny how they increase the size for lower resolution, but they still have small UI for people with 4k resolution.

You guys forget about the tier 10 players that will sell their carriers and put their 15 skill point captains in a Langley. Imagine, 7 fighters, 6 TBs and 7 DBs in the sky. The plane will be faster because no more biplanes. The combination of flooding and fire damage. The fact that the only that can kill your planes, is another Langley.

Ibuki isn't paper. She was being built as an improved Mogami, but midway, they started converting her into a carrier https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibuki-class_cruiser

Why would a destroyer with 10-20km range be 3km near you?

Personally, I'd go with concealment. Sure, TAM will help you avoid torps but it won't really help you spot them at those tiers. Depending on how you play your cruiser, you might not even need to avoid torps (if you maneuver a lot by default). The extra concealment will help if you want to break off a pursuing enemy. However, you can also consider talking Concealment expert for the captain along with TAM, or take Vigilance along with CM.

I see thanks.

We don't really need to that mission if we do everything else, do we? It's the only mission I haven't done so far.

That's the thing, it's not a stress relief. Remember that new years mission, the one where you had to beat the boss at 1-3 three time? I sortied there like 50 times and the compass didn't take me to boss node not even once. All the remaining quests I have are ones that need a kai ni that I'm too bored to grind for. Let's not even mention "stress relief" when there's an event going on.

They buffed the DPS of the DP guns and nerfed the DPS of the 25mm guns.

Since you didn't read correctly, and since I already said what I needed, no. We're not going to talk again. I said what I have to say. I'm not here to have an argument with you that you have been continuing for the last 2 days.

Can confirm the client crashes and the buttons not working.

USN and German, While the IJN did get nerfed, it's still decent at high tiers. What Yamato lost in AA effectiveness with her 25mm gained it with her 127mm DP guns. Zao's AA, while not as monstrous as DM or Hindy, is still decent. It doesn't matter though. All it takes is for ships to sail together and the combined AA will shred any planes. A Yamato and a Zao together has enough AA to compete with the US or German AA.

I actually never needed to use 4 smokes. 3 has been very adequate for me so far. I'm not sure I want to take Torpedo Accelerator when I'm only at Mutsuki. I tried it on the PT server and you get to play Mutsuki like you play a Minekaze (but weaker). However, Hatsuharu with 8km range is taking it too much.

The consumable is only for Hatsuharu and Kagero and it replaces smoke screen. Not only it's not that useful compared to smoke, no one in his right mind will get rid of smoke. It's like addiction

You should thank God that there's a tier range that is still sort of balanced and playable.. yet.

You think the reason CVs are dead because Essex and Midway will lose 1 plane? Dude, did you look at the AA stats of high tier ships? Taiho's planes will be the last of your problems. In fact, there won't be any Taiho planes to intercept your planes because neither of you will have any planes in the sky. The AA there is that OP. They can give you 3 TBs and you still won't be able to do a thing.

That doesn't make the game World of DDs. High tiers are broken regardless of DDs or not. The whole balance is garbage there. Shimakaze spam is just another stone in the pile. Currently, I'm grinding through all lines and I am at tier 6 in all of them (well five for CVs) and at that tier, I don't think there's any major class balance, and I'm enjoying them (and get frustrated too) with all of them more or so equally, except the carrier which I suck at playing. The game is broken at high tiers. But it's not the DDs that broke it since DDs once were the worst class at that tier. It's the game devs that are breaking the game when they can't figure out how to balance stuff, so continuously get these nerf cycles. What's worse, all what the playerbase does is point fingers, call each other BB mafia or DD mafia, but when a new premium ship is released they all jump in to buy one. I'm not going to be all high and mighty when I say, if people don't like the changes, then don't play the game. If the game is frustrating, take a time off and come back after few months to see if anything has changed. You don't owe the game or WG anything. I took about 3-4 months break from the game until recently. Depending on these changes, and after the Project R is ended, I might take another break to wait for the balance to restore again hopefully. I get my piece of mind from all this BS and that's what matters.

Of course there is. I'm not done with the world of kancolle. I still find the lore and the characters very interesting, and although it might be just like the anime, I'm hyped for kancolle movie. At least I want to see Kako in action.

Lol, I was watching iChase stream. The whole time he was whining how they killed CVs (and he's right about that) but he was also talking about how's going to be World of Destroyers. So he got a Mutsuki with 15 captain skills and loaded up the new Torpedo Acceleration and platooned with another Mutsuki. They were all talking about how 64kts torpedoes are so OP (because Minekaze a tier lower totally doesn't have 67kts). He ended the game hitting 0 torpedes and died horribly like a noob. His platoon got like only 1 hit. World of Mutsukis am I right Mr. know-it-all-chase? After that, they tried using a Minekaze, after failing to land any hit, they came to conclusion that the skill is not useful for low and mid tiers. I know he was talking out of frustration, but so is most people who are complaining about this skill. Yes, CVs are dead after the patch and the skill might make Shimakaze more deadly than they are now, but it's not world of DDs. here's his stream if you want to check it out: http://www.twitch.tv/ichasegaming/v/39943110

and they wiped all the progress from previous versions it seems.

So why Hindenburg needs strong AA again? it alreadu has the highest hp and AP DPM and range.

Yeah, played Aoba and can't even hurt same tier planes. You almost have a DD like AA now.

The thing is.. with just 4 days, no one is going to test all ships above tier 6. As if you're asking people to grind from tier 6 to tier 10 in just 4 days, No one is playing tiers 1-5 either because why do it when you can play tier 6?

Not anymore. I tested the AA on Mutsuki and it's nerfed. It's half as bad as it was pre 0.5.3 and my test Mutsuki is fully kitted with all the AA modules, captain skills and even the AA flag (well all except BFT). To give you an idea, you pretty much will only kill half the planes you could kill pre 0.5.3.
