I am aware of that “joke”. But it’s not like this game has always been an extremely slow Camp fest?

The slingshot only works properly because you can attack almost right away after your “jump”. If you have to wait 10sec you would need to start the jump much further away from the target and probably wouldn’t be mitigating as much damage.

You put quite some effort in rewriting my one-liner “That’s exactly the thing” into a little Havaduck’s story. I appreciate your effort - however we obviously disagree on CVs (Arties and Tonks don’t really have anything to do with it).

That‘s exactly the thing

Sounds like an excuse. Ppl finding that too difficult (...) don’t have to use it.

How so? A lot f times (especially earlier game) I try to line up multiple targets to perform multiple strikes with almost no time in between. Doesn’t sound like this would work anymore?

Well - generally agree about hull control We gave this feedback already during closed testing but WG didn’t want to change it However: your proposal is essentially already possible. Press “F” and you have hull control. What is missing instead is to take control of the ship during flight and switch back and forth between attack wing and hull

Slingshot was silly to begin with. It’s generally ok to remove it. However - let’s see what the implications are. More time between attacks also means a difference for normal attacks

Moin zusammen, hier mal mal ein kurzes Lebenszeichen von mir. Es gab/gibt in den letzten Monaten eine ganze Menge Dinge um die ich mich kümmern musste/muss. Das bedeutete auch eine längere Pause vom Spiel usw. Nun bin ich aber wieder da - und habe auch mal wieder ins Spiel hereingeschaut. Ich möchte mich auf diesem Wege schon einmal für die wahnsinnig interessanten, originellen und unfassbar sachkundigen und detailverliebten Beiträgen bei allen bedanken! Wenn ich mal wieder etwas Luft habe mache ich mich nochmal daran, die Frontpage nachzuziehen - da fehlt ja noch einiges von euren super Beiträgen & Planungen. Und es würde mich außerordentlich freuen, wenn wir irgendwann nach einer kreativen Pause noch die Flotten zu Ende bauen würden. Auch da wartet ja noch einiges

Is the LM worth it on Moskva?

Die konzipierte AA ist ja angegeben mit - 8 Zwillingen 10.5cm L/65 C/37 - 16 einzelnen 4cm L/56 Bofors, wobei die ja für das Modell durch einzelne 37mm Kanonen ersetzt werden sollen? - 8 Vierlinge 2cm L/65 C/38 Oha - viel Erfolg 👍 Ja es ist eine Weiterführung des Panzerschiff Konzepts aber für das Panzerungslayout würde ich gern @Walther_K_Nehring hören da das Teil 20cm Beschuss aushalten sollte EDIT: Bauchgefühl eher wie die D-Schlands. Aber da brauchen wir den Konstrukteur

While I don’t mind the Foxtrotts I don’t see why they are a “legend” Could fit the game though as they are roughly comparable to XXIs

Die ersten drei Jahre in WOWS. Und nun jammern die Leute weil es über Nacht eine vierte Klasse gibt.

Shortening? Agree that it’s a beyond stupid mechanic but mostly applies to the beginning of a match so I made peace with that questionable stuff

No you don’t lose the squadron. You can mitigate quite some incoming AA and usually you are able to get off multiple attacks. However constant DPS means you suffer from AA no matter wohat you do in an attack. Therefore your other wings have to soak up the damage to enable the strike wing to attack at all. Just try it by squad shortening in half - you will see the problem yourself. Plus :if you can only attack once the CV player would be sitting around in transit most of the game. Which is at the same time the opposite to “I feeel I am under constant air attacks”. Now of course there are numbers between 0 and 1 and service times and such could be increased to avoid consta-spamming but that leads to idle time on the CV’s side so WG is hesitant. And the only option for one-strike-attacks as you propose is absolute disgusting alpha strikes - and nobody including WG want to go back on that. And it would likely make the situation a lot worse I fear.

Problem with two wings is that one is usually depleted during an attack meaning you don’t have two attacks but just one. So no, the change doesn’t make sense as it contradicts the core of the rework. If you want to go for one strike only you need to go back to these huge alpha strikes. There are multiple reasons WG doesn’t want to (unforgiving, feeling of being Nuked, all or nothing gamble, more skill difference, a lot of transfer time doing nothing for the CV)

We can read an from what we see it looks like these cruisers will have to much going for them. And please be honest - there is no freaking way on this earth WG would release a mediocre Russian line. They clearly regularly aim for the upper third - sometimes overshooting quite a bit but never ever for the middle of the pack or even lower third. I agree that the CV rework whining was hysterical but a lit of times an outcry shows a high dedication and passion. Hence I wouldn’t be too unspecific here. Yes sometimes people here do some overreacting/whining but a lot of times the criticism is even justified and a certain amount of noise is required to make the devs even listen. Show me one instance where polite asking for a change to an obviously very wrong development changes anything? Heck even after the Graf Zeppelin disaster WG said “it’s fine”. It took a full sh* storm to even make them consider that this ship was unfinished, broken and unplayable. I think what the OP is clearly missing is that a lot of guys really stay around here for so long and give very dedicated feedback. That alone is a huge compliment to the product in my opinion.

These thingies hardly qualify as „Battleships“. „Floating batteries“ maybe...? So no. The Russians did not have a battlefleet after Tsushima. The stuff in WOWS is entirely made up save T4 Gangut and the prem Cousin at T5 with the silly name. While the ship selection is reasonable I absolutely don’t like the small bombs flavour. Find small bombs boring on Ark Royal already and this here would be worse. Plus: giving the prem a different gimmick compared to the line isn’t great either – for obvious captain spec reasons. No – I would suggest to stick to the „go faster“ gimmick of GZ. For planes I would like to see: T4: Fokker D XIII (RFs) / He 50 (AP DB) / He 59 (Torp) T6: Bf 109T / Ju 87C (AP / Torp) T8: Me 155T / Ju 87T (AP DB / Torp) T10: Me 262 (RF / AP DB / Torp) It‘s been like this since years. What makes you think WG will change it? German CVs would at least be interesting – not like the 15th Russian line split with some dubious projects nobody ever heard of. Or multiple iterations even of the same project as we see with the upcoming Russian cruiser split. I mean if they go fantasy than at least with something not as boring please. But I agree that WG needs to catch up on real ships in the T3-8 are such as the battle cruisers, the Italians, etc.

Also wenn es viel einfacher ist kannst du das natürlich machen. Wenn M47 Pattons in Hollywood als Kingtiger durchgehen machen ein paar andere Autocannons doch wahrscheinlich nicht viel aus...

That was me - impressive wording here mon ami. I think everybody knows that the Me 262 would never be a CV plane in real live. However - these facts are completely irrelevant in gameplay terms by now. Russian Battleships, a magically stretched Normandy, high-altitude interceptors standing in for dive bombers, the list of “strange” solutions is endless. Alas, speed seems the chosen flavour for German CVs of GZ is anything to go by so a Me 262 would be a possible solution. Realistic? Hell no. But this game is passed that point long ago. At least these planes would be easily recognizable and probably quite popular. The old “jets are too fast” thing is also done with the rework and the speeds we have now. And calling any people speculating about German Paper CVs a Wehraboo is quite steep. By now “any” line is well within the realm of possibility. Has it been denied? Sure - along with a lot of other stuff we see now or will see soon. You think the second IJN line would be next? I would appreciate it. Want my Hiryu und Zuiho. BUT: I dread the “new” style / gameplay as it probably means a “Box ‘o Gimmicks” as I highly doubt WG just adds a parallel line with the exact same gameplay. And within the current gameplay there is hardly enough variation to fill the second line. Bottom line: likely we see either a second IJN line with a “new” gameplay or we could see a German line - for some quite obvious financial reasons. I am sure they would sell.

That would indeed be the obvious choice - especially given WG’s preference for anything post 1935. Instead of He 51 Ar 65s seem likely as well. Fi 167 suck big time. A disgustingly ugly plane in my opinion. He 50s are fine though - nice planes and indeed a good fit. However I would prefer D XIII any day of the week over He51s or Ar65s. These D XIII are awesome little machines and mostly neglected in games so far

Not entirely impossible but the problem with any Russian line is that it will be OP and therefore toxic as hell for the game. That is btw the main reason people oppose more Russian ships

So? They said no subs. I wouldn’t count on any of these towering truths. Plus: apparently the Germans’ flavour is speed. Nobody at WG will care about the fact that 262s are completely unsuitable for carrier use. And no - Stukas are neither outdated in 1939 nor are they comparable to T4 biplanes. For T4 we will likely see biplanes. Fokker DXIII would be cool.

Die sah ursprünglich richtig gut aus! Die könnten die entweder als kaufbare 3D Permacamo bringen (für Scharni) oder halt als Scharni-Kopie „Shiny‘38“ Wäre für mich wesentlich reizvoller als die 100. Blaupause

Hmmm proper Stukas at T6 and Me 262s with a “go-faster-Button” at T10...? Count me in...
