I personally think that the big problem of this game lies elsewhere but those points are also true. Specially about motivation, which is simply reduced to getting to the next tier. Combined with the money grabbing policies, lack of anything interesting ever happening to the game and, at least on this server, utter lack of dev presence.

Yep, all new premium ships that has been added lately has been bundle only through the premium shop.

But WG already got your money when you got doublons so they don't care anymore.

I'd go with designer flags with historical tones but given how WG cares so little about what is historicaly accurate, no, historical flags, safe option.

BBs on higher tiers feel like cruisers on steroids: They are agile, they have the same turning circles than some cruisers. And this is while having much more HP and armor. But yeah, most BB skippers are mouthbreathers so they keep asking for more and more on each patch. Meanwhile the good BB players enjoy the party at higher tiers on a CV less environment.

Now really, there are people that didn't at least smirk at the description? Even if the OP is serious , which I doubt it since this looks more like a parody of the whole zombie craze we've had this past 4 years, just imagining it is hilarious. And WTF, someone actually gave a negative....

Memetastic/10 We need raptor Jesus in a gigantic H class BB as the boss of the horde.

tl;dr No, you can't be convinced, bye bye.

Devs have already stated that this kind of skillships won't be sold on the shop but will be rewards on ranked or tournaments, which will ensure they are held by only skilled enough players.

It's work too. And hell it's your own creation: balance and gameplay designers should have a better idea of how their ideas apply in the real battlefield and not rely purely on statistics.

Even worse when you consider that people won't recomend your game to their friends.

It's allways been able to launch torps unspoted if you had a concealment expert captain + concealment device. The problem is that you only have 1km for that and the ship is veey sluggish. They did add an smokescreen to her so you cpuld have some protection from DD spotting but you are fucked if a plane permaspotted you, just like a DD, except you are huge ans have a Kuma's hull at tier VIII.

Then we basically go back to the Yammonty, Shima, Midway meta, right? Cruiser players have been asking for something that makes then less prone to being blown up in one salvo. The citadel roof bug was the culprit of those scenes.

I still manage to enjoy randoms but yeah, can't wait to hop into Kinugasa again and play ranked. Maybe Tone too if she's good enough.

Well, to compensate for their inability of citadeling cruisers at close ranges they should be able to get penetrations instead. That's still a sizable amount of damage if just 3 shells hit I also proposed, I think in another thread the possibility of a consumable that, for a limited amount of time would give a BB an incrrased accuracy. This can even make BB on lower tiers more fun to play.

HE from high caliber guns can knock out the engine and steering even from higher tier cruisers. I'll leave it at that. I'm willing to bet tat the ratio of devastating strikes from BBs on cruisers will go down by a lot. Even on long range shots that give plunging fire the shells will have to penetrate both the deck armor and citadel roof armor whereas in the past, if we take into account how the bug worked, the shells only needed to penetrate deck armor.

Well I did specify "on a flat trajectory". Plunging fire should earn you citadels so it may become HE on short ranges and AP on long range unless you are aiming for a lucky shot that hits the small strip above the waterline that nets you a direct citadel hit. Sumarizing it, BBs won't be able to play Rambo against cruisers and close in fearlessly. They'll need cover from cruisers to work. Take into account that this is speculation from my part.

Hey mate, gimme her if it's so unappealing for you. I'll treat her nice.

If what has tought me this last patch remains is that the citadel zone on ships when shelling in a flat trajectory has become very small. Your shells should citadel just on the waterline. An obvious consequence will be that getting citadels onshort range against ships that are turning will be more difficult since you'll have to shoot at a very small strip of the ship and not just its side.

Specially taking into account that with this buggy damage model only true BB enthusiast would be playing then frequently and having each one of your matches being the a shell magnet, much more than usual at least, won't be nice.

It would be nice if WG EU staff would at least post a list of these changes since this is the biggest crisys this game has suffered since the first aim mod was released.

I'm more concerned about those poor BB captains since they are gonna get focused much more.

I know already. I don't care if I'm earning no exp or credits, I'd still play with her a lot just for fun.
