Apparently, the Japanese 25mm guns will receive 40% DPS nerf, and 0.1 km range buff

It's possible Yubari will be spared of the AA nerf. Remember, Gremyashi survived the gun nerf (HE damage and fire chance) that all RU DDs got.

I played her too with 203mm in CBT and found her to be average. Certainly doesn't need an AA nerf on top if it. What happened after CBT is they made AP more powerful. After reading how Mogami can be easily citadeled even when angles, I'm not sure I'm looking forward to it when I'm currently in Aoba. Ibuki suddenly seems a much more fun ship to play thanks to the invisifire and repair ability.

Team battles will probably require a rank of their own.

I was talking more about the fighters. Even if Midways fighters weren't that superior, eventually the Haku will run our of fighters, so Midway will eventually achieve air superiority. I don't know what to think of the TB change. The AA buff it self should hurt all high tier carriers. I mean, put a Baltmore or Kutuzov next to any BB and they are practically immune.

It's not strange. They were not DP in real life.

Yeah, I thought Haku will have 3x5. But it is still balanced if you compare the plane reserve of the 2 carriers. Btw, I recognize your name now. We were in the same match yesterday. You were in a platoon of Benson and Fubuki.

Except Kagero, her guns are not DP.

Having DPs means Langley will have less TBs and fighters in hanger. So it's actually a nerf for her in some sort.

So no more USN ships are UP. I guess all ships are balanced now and MontanaxYamato are balanced. I mean if Montana has it easier now against carriers, it deserves to get it [edited] handed by a Yamato. Atlanta would no longer UP, it got a huge AA buff that makes it and everything around it immune to CVs, so it shouldn't do any real damage with its guns. We'll have to see when the patch goes live of course, I can't link the changes to the carrier loadouts to the AA changes.

Not really. Midway gets 3x7 fighters so it's just gonna be ZuihoxBogue all over again. Add to that the AA buff.. I feel like the only ships that get targeted by CV from now on are IJN ships.

lol US don't get 2 TBs anymore at any tier?

Exactly. There's a reason why people play hull C Mutsuki vs Hull B. If I have the captain skill that increases the turret traverse, then might as well play the hull B now. What's the point of hull C if the AA you get is garbage?

Look at it this way, it can be change any day and any time. Next patch WG might nerf Mogami's HE and we can't do anything about. It could be part of a global HE narf for all ships. shitizov however? she's immune. Also, Tirpitz AA is getting huge buffs it seems. The ship whose only weakness was AA will be no more too..

Her AA was nerfed, her range was nerfed,and her RoF for the 155mm was nerfed. Because she manages 4k average damage more that the next ship. Yup, regular ships are not allowed to be at the top. It has to be a premium ship leading the charts.

Anyway, my last hope is that there's a new captain skill or some changes to current captain skills that allow you to get some of that lost AA DPS back.

Poor Mutsuki. This is the seconds time this ship gets nerfed when it's not even her fault. First when Minekze was nerfed and Mutsuki was nerfed with her (and didn't get any compensation) and now she gets nerfed in the only think that gave her a real advantage over Minekaze. Btw, Kagero's guns are not DP so she doesn't get any of the AA buffs, only the nerfs for the 25mms. Also, after all this talk about how Yuubari is fine, they nerf her AA and she didn't get compensated like the shitizov does, because no one can buy that ship anymore, unlike shitizov. And now, iChase will make another video crying how mediocre shitizov is. I feel this game is become world of premium warships.

They are 120mm guns which are not included in the OP's post. They are only 2 and they don't do crap. The DPS lies in the ton of triple 25mm guns she has.

I just love how premium ships are immune to game mechanic changes. Maybe next time, they will nerf the damage, HP, speed, AA, stealth, torps, guns, you name it by 200% but premium ships won't be affected. The company that thinks premiums shouldn't be changed when the entire game changes, yet they are allowed to be better and OP when everything around them is nerfed, that's bad practice. Why even sell the ship when they know there will be mechanic change coming soon? I don't care about premium owners crying, they bought a ship that was supposed to be balanced, not OP. They should get a balanced ship, not an "invincible to game changes" ones. btw, welcome to EU hawk.

Funny how the patch was aimed at making AA destroyers more effective, yet they horribly nerfed all IJN DD AA hulls. This is a 40% nerf for Mutsuki, a ship that only had her AA going on for her when compared to Minekaze. Hatsuharu, Fubuki and Kagero's AA hulls are even more of useless than they were before.

Because there are 4 lines of Uk and 3 lines of Russian and Germans that need to come first I presume. That's a lot of content.

Hey, they are selling a ship without a bundle. We should stop being greedy and ask for more stuff

British ships will come this year. Germans DDs:no ETA.

The mistake would be expected if this was 1943. I mean, even us the players know Katori from the fact she was suck by Iowa. You'd think it would be common sense among people whose jobs are to write historical articles to either know about such detail, or at least do their homework good enough to double check on it. I'll give them the benefit of doubt of mistranslation though. It could be a mistake when this article was translated from whatever language it first came from.

Not all cruisers need compensation. I too agree with the change. Ships like Omaha, Murmansk and the Bergs already have enough ranges and I'm glad that it will be restored to what WG intended it to be. Others will have to suffer in stats a bit until WG figure out which needs it and which don't. It's unfortunate but it was a mistake that should've been fixed since beta in my opinion. Whatever shitstorm might come out of it, WG deserves to deal with it. Stlll, I don't think it will be the end of the world for these cruisers.
