"We are sorry guys, we cannot deal with this issue right now because we are busy preparing the Tone for release. 20 € of tier VI cruiser and 40€ of useless crap (sorry you have to buy then together). With this new AP mechanics the ship will be extremely OP and will surely get great reviews and feedback. Don't forget to buy her! She and the AP bug are only for a limited time!" You heard it first.

It's BBs who are mouthbreathers that get bested by Mogamis with 155mm guns. After all I did say the 155mm guns are for pubstomping. Before the patch 2 or 3 well placed 410mm AP salvos would cripple a Mogami without even the need of citadels and in any angle the cruiser was presenting.

As if I'd ever give you the pleasure of doing that. Mogami without modifications can't be spotted until 12km, well within the range of the guns.

Lol Hipper can't stand shelling from other cruisers but if it got something tanking the damage it pretty much can rip apart any cruiser with AP. Even BBs take heavy damage from those AP shells. But I'm not talking about Hipper, I'm talking about Mogami's 203mm guns.

No amount of 155 shells will pen other cruiser and its got such crap dispersion that even a BB that isn't a mouthbreather will dodge most of the shells if it stays at range. Like I've allways said, 155mm guns are for the noobs who enjoy pubstomping but on able hands the 203mm guns are much better, both HE and AP.

Worthless piece of sheet thread. But of course it reaches 5 pages because our favorite Vuk enjoys reading such crap. Meanwhile, other relevant and actually useful for the comunity threads are actively monitored in order to find the silliest excuse possible to be closed, censoring happening, etc etc.

155mm noobs that are used to pubstomp, lots of then. You the worse Whiskey. The 203 mm guns are much more versatile and accurate but HE spamers gonna spam.

It will forever be the Zao man. Edit: until stronk russian cruisers fueled by the will of the proletariat happen. Let's not forget Murmansk.

For those that arrived late. A supeetestee mentioned this will be looked at this monday.

Of course I'd love to test the Tone before buying it but like hell WG would let people have an informed buy.

I was precisely playing against a Zao yesterday in my Ibuki. Managed to score citadel shots in a broadsiding Zao without problems. 15k Salvos aganst Mogamiat not perfect perpendicular angles. On the other hand a Des Moines didn't have any problem to citadel me to oblivion in a moment of panic from me. So yeah, no.

People keep calling this a bug but it may very well be working as intended. As some people has already mentioned here you can still get good damage with your BBs, it's just that now you won't be able to play Rambo on a BB, specially Monty or Tomato, being able to tank 3 or 4 cruisers while literally erasing one with each salvo. Guess BBs will now have to learn when and how to use HE/AP as the rest of the classes. That expert loader skill got buffed after all.

Man, I'm an experienced cruiser captain myself. You talk about balance? This is nothing,, I saw true World of Cruisers during Alpha when armor was just a placeholder, RoF was anything, Clevelands withered down tier X Yamato with AP and said ship had a 45 mm armor on the turrets because someone in WG made a typo supposedly. What we've got here are some guys that can't deal with BBs now not being able to automatically do aim, click, boom on a cruiser. Did cruiser players complained and made threads to cry when World of Cruisers ended? Did they when HE was nerfed? And then now, here we have the first nerf that won't make playing cruisers on higher tiers unless you are a Zao a lottery and you make this out to be like the apocalipse. Well, deal with it and accept that cruisers won't be your little xp and credits pinatas anymore each time you board your Montana or Yamato

I still got citadeled today in my Ibuki from the shells of an Izumo. Even so I couldn't care less about the cries of BB players. Having played BBs and cruisers I very much now how stupidly easy was fighting a cruiser in a BB so this nerf is most welcome.

Yay for BBs not being the I WIN ships they've been lately. About time cruisers stoped melting the moment aBB looked in its direction.

Sometime next year or wait until Warspite is sold again.

So you guys didn't have DDs and CVs to spot the other team too? A DDs job is also spotting and killing other DDs too, even IJN DDs, everyone who's played ranked has seen Hatsuharus engaging Mahans in order to accomplish the objectives. And once again, if you manage to destroy all ships inside the cap no matter how much you are getting shelled you'll be capping in less than a minute.

Don't understimate the Yuubari. It's a DD sized cruiser with the best shell arc+speed of all ships of that tier while being the terror of any CV

Seems like the entire fleet heading for the cap from the very beginning is too much for some troubled minds.

Once again, that's not even a problem of the mode but of the players. If people went in for a single or 2 groups that entered the cap while killing anything that menaced their cap while monitoring all parts of the cap with the help oof DDs and the CV the battle would just develop into a braw, that's the point of this mode. It's not that different from other king of the hill modes. What really amazes me is that the victory conditions are a whole lot easier in this mode, there isn't even a resetting the cap and just by keeping control of the cap for 1 minute you win. But that's bloody difficult for the average joe it seems. But yeah, instead of punishing the players for their passivity by giving then a well deserved draw let's just continue patronizing the same parthian circle tactics we are already used to.

Split spawn didn't represent a problem of strategy but of relative skill. If the weak side of a deployment got bad players those wouldn't be able to rely on the good players that may have got concentrated on the strong side.

Stock + Untrained captain?

Once again the lack of vision and strategy of most players brings forward the same complaints and whining. But of course, just mindlessly shooting stuff should be encouraged instead of playing by objectives, otherwise average joe will claim "too many draws" and "fail mode". Killing all enemies on it and holding a zone of the map for a minute is too much for average joe

Yeah, it's not like I can blow up a DD with just AP overpens. They have SO much health that 1k/1,2k damage per overpenned shell is nothing

Meanwhile EU gets awesome bundles and has awesome players who think they are awesome.
