I do have to agree this game is awesome when played in a platoon. Can't wait for clan wars.

I swear to God that spotting is bugged since last patch. What the hell was spotting me when I died? I'm in an Isokaze and I'm getting spotted at 7 km. Only thing that comes to my mind is that stealth is reduced if you are burning and if it's true that would be another crap move by WG to nerf DDs.

Not sure if serious

You and I know that those 155 mm shells are just pebbles.

Those faces

Whiskey, you and I know very well that best Mogami is 203 mm Mogami. Don't mislead the readers.

It's not only destroyers. Rare is the match in which something doesn't break 2 or 3 times in my Furutaka. Like I've gotten my rudder knocked out 3 times in a single match or the propulsion too. It's insane. Almost as if you are at the mercy of RNG until you get that captain skill.

Furutaka. I even sspent some doublons to get free experience and upgrade all modules. 22k experience left for magical Aoba though.

I dunno how many matches you played before the wipe. It's ok, I'm not trying to say it's negative if you have played few matches but let me tell you the melancholy of someone who has played 1,5k matches on this game. Back in alpha, there was a core of experienced players with whom it was very fun to play against. And I say against because you were playing almost 100% against a player. If I got sunk most of the times It was because the other player outwited me or outplayed me. When OBT started the core experienced players was still there and you could enter matches that were competitive and with a great atmosphere. Then, pay to Beta happened and we got flooded with a lot of new players which apart from being new to the game had a quite nasty attitude toward learning and mastering the perks and tactics from the old Alpha meta. Consequently, the dumbing down started with less and less tactical posibilities for each class. With the dumbing down, playing a class has become more and more like knowing 2 or 3 tricks and then use then ad nauseam. Except when you are actually against someone that has your same experience level. So in the end, nowadays when I play WoWs it feels like I'm repeating the same stuff again and again and sinking noobs with the same tricks over and over. I don't feel acomplishment in that. And when sometimes I get blown up at the beginning it is just because I did a dumb mistake or some 15 kms away BB won the lotto and got a big crit on me but in no way I feel that I've been defeated by a human, just by RNG or my error. This is why, since the last days of CBT and nowadays the only time I really enjoy the matches is after midnight when there are no lifers who spend a lot of time in the game and the player pool gets reduced to 700 or so players. I don't want to seal club, I want to be sealclubbed, everyday meeting great players against whom I get pumped up because I know there are way better players than me out there. Instead I'm getting the same over and over again with a meta getting shallower in each patch.

How about they actually try to do that? That excuse is too old now, specially taking into account it's literally making the game take a direction for the worse.

Things has never been balanced at all since some ships were OP, others UP, BBs struggled under the domination of CAs (this happened in Alpha). But as it is right now they aren't balancing the game, they are dumbing down a lot of mechanics with the consequence loss of learning curve. The tactical posibilities of each class are getting curtailed more and more with a meta that can be learnt in a few matches if you have 2 brain cells to rub together (problem is that there are a lot of people that cannot rub then). And in the end we've got a very simple game with a shallow meta and where the only motivation to keep paying is the grind of the ships. WG has a serious allergy to deep and challenging gameplay because they can't be arsed to put MMR in their games, pairing experienced players against experienced and noobs against noobs. Seriously, Why the hell they don't implement MMR? I simply don't get it.

You won't be using it much but for close combat it can be useful since you can takee advantage of an error and score a big hit if you've got HE loaded and an unexpected target shows its broadside to you. It can also serve the other way around. You load AP for an incoming good shot and suddenly you've got a DD just a few Kms from you. You'll have to change to HE asap.

It doesn't work that way. Unless you've fully recharged, switching to another type of shell won't shorten the reload time.

To be honest, yeah it's difficult. Came back for 0.4.0 just to see the game is going more and more down the toilet. Lately I can't bring myself to play hours as I did before, just a few couple matches and then I have to disconnect for an hour or two to get interested again. For me though, it's a combination of the incesant RNG, the least rewarding and fun gameplay for cruisers and destroyers and the fact that being bold and closing in just doesn't pay off anymore.

No agresion on my part though. I just tend to talk a bit roughly when on my nerves.

Oh man, I can't even make fun of this stuff anymore given how each patch is making this game more like World of Battleships Voted torps are OP BTW since that includes both DDs and CVs

Well, since the problem was already made clear to me I guess they can even trash it.

Excuse me but I don't remember getting spoted earlier from being on fire and I've been playing this game since november 2014. That or holy [edited]I've been extremely lucky and never have gotten myself in this situation until now.

They won't add premium ammo for DDs but advanced optical camouflage that will make you see 5 independent ships instead of one when it is aproaching. Furthermore, each copy will be able to launch torps too.

Such a misleading title

Is this thread for real or just a big metajoke from some of the oldfags here?

Night Battle mode when?

Considering how those threads have made this game more and more crappy with each patch, I can't bring myself to make joke of then.

Not liking the product? I'm seriously considering it myself too.

Right now, this kind of remarks feel almost cute.
