Well yes the Caracciolo is a natural fit for T6. However we know that WG will give her Fantasy refits so she can be at any tier you like. Like Amagi - which received tons of artificial armor and a favourable interpretation of the 41cm AP shell’s performance. So yes, while some ships can seem a little out of place a lot of it is up to WG’s own interpretation of facts and sometimes very wanky.

Hmmm bedeutet das, dass man für die Schnee-Tarnung der Scharnhorst eine DoY braucht?

Hmm hab 62 mit aussortieren aber würde gern noch weiter reduzieren. Die meisten davon spiele ich so gut wie nie. Alle im Ozean als Flotte wäre aber schön witzig :-)

Und damit hat sich dieses Thema für mich .... ERLEDIGT.

Nice one! I like the 2x2 + 2x3 Setup as it would be something different. Another Montana setup would be boring I’d say

Did you check the Premium BB saturation by chance...? WG is shelling out premium ships like no tomorrow. I guess they gave up on expanding the player base (the big opportunity in 2017 would have been the RN BBs) and leveling out for cash cow mode now instead. And to be blunt all indications point towards it will work. I am generally interested in Cossack but will wait for the reviews. T-61 is also coming but I have Shinonome so not sure if I need a second T6 prem DD. T7 would be something though.

Will this be released with 0.6.15? Do we know what the prize will be ?

I would love to see this CV revamp. And while I know it is coming later than everybody hopes - just to set the expectations: is it more a change like T4/5 losing alt-drop or is it more like Warplanes 2.0? I mean will the new CV gameplay be totally different or a tweaked version of what we know?

Ok I get you don't like respawn. And in the current game mode it doesn't make sense. However if WG would implement a game mode for longer battles it would be a way to give players the opportunity to react to the tactical situation. It would kind of automatically prevent the 5BBs/2CA/5DD battles as ppl could make smart class choices during the battle. Another thing I think is not really well done is CVs. I try to like them but they are kind of boring to play and difficult at the same time. Had they gone the Battlestations way with flying yourself though.... well there are far better examples for CV gameplay out there. My hopes on the big CV relaunch are minimal unfortunately.

Yes I liked the idea but the implementation wasn't really fun at the end. I think implementing such modes takes a lot more work and potentially changes than just adding some forts. Problem was the gameplay was exactly the same just with these bases in the way. And that didn't really work. I guess if these things are added WG also need to look at how they fit into the game flow.

Hmm not sure what you are trying to tell me other than there are always ppl to disagree. I find premiums that are unique and a bit different to the tree ships more interesting but that again is my preference. Shinonome for example is a bit different to Fubuki in terms of torps and guns and how one can play her. Let's see what WG will do to Asashio during testing.

Ppl were crying for a copy paste Nagato when Mutsu came out and still cry for a copy paste Yamashiro. Never understood the concept of these paywall copies..? Asashio looks the same.

"Don't touch my ships! I am right and the rest of the world is wrong!" I need popcorn

I always liked the Tribals from a aesthetic point of view. Looking forward to this ship actually!

Hatte das mit der Kamera auch mal. Hast du evtl Mods? Das wäre das erste zu checken.

Uh well. You are talking about Bastion mode aren't you? Well that mode was poorly implemented. It was just some pretty accurate firing guns on the same map and same cap zones like normally. This was unfortunately just plain bad.

I picked her up immediately and I admit I enjoy her. She is certainly far from being P2W but has her moments. I wouldn't say no to better deck / turtleback armour but at the end that is only one point about her survivability issues. What I like is that she is really what the Amagi was. A gigantic and overgunned glass cannon. Heck the real one would have exploded on first enemy hits most likely. She was kind of the pinnacle of Admiral Fishers ill-fated Battlecruiser concept.WG's T8 tree Amagi has truckloads of fantasy armour to make her more convenient to play but Ashitaka is the real story. Plus she is gorgeous! And a little hint for those having trouble with her - her armour belt runs pretty much all the way to the back so kiting slowly away from fire multiplies your survivability compare to advancing (where angling does pretty much nothing because of 25mm bow armour).

There are some interesting thoughts in this thread though. On top of the thoughts about Battlefield and game modes I think there is another topic about how the matchmaking works. A player enters battles with a specific ship chosen by general preference rather than tactical needs. He can't pick the right tool as can't foresee what will be the situation. This would need free choice of ships in battle and potentially even respawn which collides with the current short battle approach and the ten tier power progression mechanism. A potential compromise design could be the use of decks though. Meaning a player enters a battle with a certain number of ships and can play them one after the other depending on tactical needs. And secondly, if you want to retain the solo-warrior concept (which has it's pros as well - it is easy to join and leave depending on own time schedule for example) you can still include area consumables as proposed to make two or more solo-warriors collaborate on an ad-hoc basis without the need to create the full framework around it. A relatively cheap solution that might be already fine for most of the casual gamers.

It's a start - I mean there is a big difference in WOWS between those capture battles and standard battles (which are pure camp fests ). The objectives make at least some players move and sometimes cooperation happens. But playing selfish is still too strongly rewarded (through damage mainly). I don't know how a perfect setting if objectives would look like but I would try to expand on this. Idea could be maps where one team attacks while the other defends. Once the objective is taken the map expands with the new new part holding the next objective to capture. Such system worked well on the old Battlefield games. Alternatively something like Battlestations' island capture where both teams are capping islands which have an impact on the battle like airfields (land based planes), shipyards (repair?), etc. would be interesting. All of this would make for longer battles though and would even bring up questions like respawn. WG aims for the opposite at the moment - short battles, instant action and no (pronounced) need to cooperate. While this is somewhat fun it gets monotonous relatively soon. Maybe there are even more ideas out there what could promote team play!

Objectives Even the pretty casual Battlefield series creates more teamplay than WOWS. Or Battlestations.

Die Nationalsozialisten haben sich die Farben zu eigen zu machen, weil sie von der Stimmung in der Bevölkerung und der Sehnsucht nach der alten Größe profitieren wollten. Sie haben gewissermaßen den monarchischen den Wind aus den Segeln nehmen wollen. Das alte Kaiserreich haben sie verachtet. Andere Frage: was soll das Tool zum Wählen von Flaggen auf den Panasia Schiffen können? Wissen wir das schon?

Haha die Berühmte "Schlacht im Mühlenberger Loch"

Wissen wir eigentlich, was mit Salem passieren soll? Ich meine T10 Premium doch wohl kaum oder?

Das sieht aber gut aus!

Ok du bist der erste hier, der zur Klärung beitragen möchte. Dafür schonmal Danke. Der von dir genannte Grund ist die erwähnte fälschliche Assoziation mit der rechten Ecke und dass WG einer möglichen Kontroverse aus dem Weg gehen will. Also leider nicht die erhofften Hard Facts. Zumal sich dieser Case mit Leichtigkeit gegen jede andere Flagge auch aufstellen lässt (und zwar mehr als nur Geschmäckle, es gibt z.B. handfeste Verbote der SU Flagge in einigen Staaten - betrifft jede andere Flagge aber auch und soll hier nicht Thema sein). Aber wenn WG einer Kontroverse aus dem Weg gehen will müssen sie Flaggen und Symbole wie die Hammer und Sichel Tarnung auf der Roter Oktober halt ganz weglassen. Stichwort Pan-Asia DDs. Beim Thema Modding hast du halt immer das gehühnere beim Release Wechsel und die Limitation, dass alle Schiffe einer Nation die gleiche Flagge benutzen (außer Russland - Surprise). Was mich jetzt aber wirklich interessiert ist, ob der genannte Grund DEINE Interpretation ist oder tatsächlich von WG kommt? Mein Stand war immer, dass sie sagen die Flagge sei verboten und kommt daher nicht?
