Well, it's not like they ever come to the forums or even that casual hipster hellhole called Reddit; they ain't got the brains for doing a conscious buy, so what's so bad about calling then for what they are?
-
But I'm not even opening my mouth! Ok, I do, but only for the ocasional smirk. Just forgive me, it's just that it's been so long since I've seen such clueless remarks been said with an straight face that I just can't resist it.

Damm, what should I do? I can't win against this guy, not when he says stuff like this.

Zao wont be good in the new patch when released
OVanBruce replied to Master_Hentai's topic in General Discussion
And once again, for what? Not even the baBBies that kept complaining about having a cruiser that could outplay then without having to suicide ever mentioned Zao's HP as their problem. The whole buff to HP regen is nice but pointless in Zao: The ship rarely gets citadeled if you keep your wits up, I just smell on this a change to please tomatoes while players that know their ship get penalized with an uncalled nerf. Zao isn't inmune toHE too, under heavy HE presure and with no way of getting unspotted this nerf also means one less HE salvo you can take, which can be vital The [edited]ship is not OP, it doesn't melt BBs without breaking a sweat, it's torps are even more situational than lower tiers CAs thanks to the short range and high speed and not al HE salvos are devastating 10k hits. The ship citadel capabilities also got hit hard with the citadel roof fix. Zao will still be a great ship and the best tier X cruiser but the solution for cruiser balance in higher tiers is not nerfing the Zao but buffing the other cruisers so they can match the Zao while making then a force to be reckoned with in the battlefield. Specially Hindenburg, haven't seen a ship that can be outmatched so much by its tier pairs and this is unexcusable on tier X where every 1k health you lose means thousand of credits in your bill. -
Oh man, I'm gonna so much enjoy the tears of players like this guy once CVs and DDs get their buffs. We should be making bets on how many baBBies threads will pop up each day.

Ibuki is better played at tier IX as a long range sniper with a short range twist if you manage to get to ambush range. The guns and shells are really not up to the task at that tier but she's the first IJN cruiser that can really play as stealth cruiser: that's your best card so use it and abuse it as much as you can.

Well, I find all the balance changes on the public test people have been describing as at least trying to fix the high tiers meta. It's flawed, yeah, but at least they are trying. A lot of stuff already in game like bundles, aim assist, etc. or the public test like some of the new flags are still [edited]though.
-
I for one am willing to have some faith on WG after seeing the public test changes.

No, you are a crap Zao player if you get citadeled on a Zao unless you are consciously risking it.

Stinky and sloppy, what it is?

Why can Yamato guarantee damage of 5k-15k each salvo on stern/bow
OVanBruce replied to anonym_gCiyicUsNYGl's topic in General Discussion
Let me remind the present that it's been already stablished by the devs (for now at least) that IJN CAs will be the best of the best. Coupled with the idea that US BBs are more "well balanced" ships that don't excel in anything except maybe AA give this impression of helplessnes when a Montana is alone against a Zao. Even so, a Zao still needs a very long time to burn a Montana while invisifiring and in that time the whole pattern can be easily broken by a single plane, an allied DD or CA. -
Debuffs of Battleship rudder shift and turning circle are a way, maybe not the best, of making BBs a more attractive target for CVs and I have been asking for this for a long time. Now BBs will need CAs for cover more than before. This is ok in my book since some kind of defence can be mounted before the strike reaches the ships because planes can be spoted way before they are in position to drop torps and bombs. I still strongly recomend cruiser players to play CVs: You'll learn to recognize patterns and when planes are getting ready for the strike and activate the AA barrage skill in the moment it can hurt the most. It's not the same for destroyers whose torps not only have abigger surprise factor but also deal a lot more damage. The best anti torpedo bulge of all cruisers, Zao's, still receives 18k damage from a single Shima torp which means that in the next patch a Shima will be able to take out one of its counters with only 2 torps. Considering that a Zao and Des Moines, and let's not talk about poor Hindenburg, is completely helpless in front of a Shima and to a lesser degree of a Gearing without DD or CV support this DD buffs will have terrible consequences on higher tiers if CV population doesn't reach a healthy level. The paralizing effect of DDs will only get worse and these extremely frustrating max distance high tier matches will be even more common.
-
IJN CVs got some buffs but I fear they won't be enough to repopulate the higher tiers which will result in a bigger dominance of DDs in higher tiers if the DDs in both teams don't give a [edited]about searching and hunting their counterparts in the enemy team or at least provide an screen. We'll need CVs even more than before.

Why can Yamato guarantee damage of 5k-15k each salvo on stern/bow
OVanBruce replied to anonym_gCiyicUsNYGl's topic in General Discussion
Stop talking about buffs or debuffs for battleships and start arguing about bringing CVs back to higher tiers. Most of Yamato's shenanigans, specially the camping Yamato, wouldn't happen if a tier X CV just exists in the field. CVs will put some limit to the torp spam too. -
Yeah, [edited]great. Let's neef Zao, the only real good cruiser in this game, for what? To make her more comparable to Des Moines and Hindenburg? Lol, bring those 2 games up to the task in tier X: Des Moines is still a low success ship and Hindenburg is still a gigantic "shoot me" sign with crap HE. The rest of the rrasons are [edited]. Ship is still sluggishas [edited]so evading Shima torp walls can be tricky and despite being the only cruiser that won't melt from concentrated 406/10 mm long distance fire you still receive heavy damage and the substracted health amounts to a bit more than a 410mm shell penetration and a full 460mm shell penetration. It's a nerf for her survability because any good Zao player won't get citadeled so the crap about the repair party barely applies. Zao will still be a great ship but applying nerfs to a high tier cruiser population that barely exists and has enough problems surviving is not the greatest idea.
-
So, the most interesting cruiser concept done by the germans is left to rot on the lower tiers, forever condemmed to low level play. Yeah, the day can't get worse.
-
So Zao, which is already a subpar health cruiser needs its health to be rediced even more? Are you serious?
-
Why would Zao need a nerf? Does the only competitive cruiser in high tiers annoy you that much?
-
All great news. Can't really complain.

I'm just saying what WG staff thinks about me and other now dissapeared forum members. Just ask then.
-
What would be the point of discussing this besides repairing some dubious reputation?
-
It's not me whom you should be talking to imo. I'm just a whiny and [edited] full of myself that has never done anything constructive. As I mentioned it's WG that should receive pressure from all us in order to try making then open their eyes and recognize this ship is bound for disaster with each passing day.
