Someone always have to be "the worst". That is how these comparisons/balancing works... Though what you call "worst" I would call "last BB that actualy scales with/needs skill". Rather than buffing Yamato Iwould nerf the others to comparable levels, like I dunno.... raising their citadells?

which is why Asashio doesn't get 3x5 Torps..... Also a lot has changed since those times.... With all those Radars and especially Hydro around I doubt you could reenact the old days even if you were to revert Shima to her old stats.

too bad WG doesn't have the ballz to do that..... I would even happily give up half the gun DPM and 5 km torp range for those kind of torpedos and some more alphadamage on the guns #makeIJNDDSGreatAgain

You forgot the most important one! RPF. The one time the community screamed in unisono not to do it and WG went ahead and added it anyway spawning disbelieve and a sense of pointlessness in the hearts of the more critical players posting on the Forums..... This. Basically the problem with implementing anti BB weapons will always be that the time it takes for the ship and/or weapon to reach the target in this game makes is so that the more active and agressive BBs will always be punished first.

Because it is broken and everyone knows it, but to buy it you can't let WG shelve it... I am a selfish DD player too... I know this ship is broken. I know this ship brings nothing good to the game. I know this is wrong but, somehow deep inside I want it to be released like this, because this ship will show some special BBs what happens when one class becomes too strong in certain aspects. When I buy this ship I will only do it for selfish reasons to get high on nuking those borderhumping GKs with still 90%+ HP in an already descided game. I know I am a bad person.... P.S. Also with this ship farming those "do x amount of flooding damage" missions will become a walk in the park.

I may understand why they don't want to do it for shima because the 15 Torpedos are kind of scary.... but not even a slight buff to the 12 km ones? What about the whole rest of the "torpedoboat"tree? There is literally no point in playing the IJN DDs now unless you want to get to either Akizuki or the Shima with the 15 Torpedospread. Instead you could be playing Z52, Fletcher Yueyang. All arguably better torpedoboats than all of the IJN and definatly better gunboats......

Not as long as Gearing gets to keep her competetive 16,5 (13,2 with acceleration) Torpedos on top of her superior guns...... While the buff on the shipconcealment is certainly nice it still is a joke that the DD Tree that is suposed to be all about Torpedo focus (the ones that had oxygenpropelled Torpedos mind you) are still the most useless and easiest to spot torpedos in the game if you don't go for the suicidal 8 km F3 ones that WG added as a kind of a hotfix to dodge the problem of making the 20 km ones useless and the 12kkm subpar or average. All in all dumb buffs in WG style that anyone that actualy plays the game would've done better. (especiall Eugen - still no point in picking her now over Atago + Hipper) Nice job.

Well I am not so sure. Epicenter is actualy fine (now that they seemed to have fixed Tears of the Desert) the average playerbase just is too stupid to get what the objective is.

No it is just the best example because with the others you could argue with the player controling the "not optimal" being far more skilled than the average or even the oposing DD trying the same. Take Yugumo for example. Would you go into that cap to contest when you KNOW (only 2 DDs in play) there is a Fletcher (maybe even with RPF) on the other side? Yes you can go for a different cap but what if the enemy has three superior gunboat DDs?

+ Not a problem if you use the F3 command, as that one will use the client data of the player you are trying to communicate with (including language). I can see however that this could get confusing with divisions on voicecom until a rule of thumb is found to only call those ships by the original hull everyone sees when the option is disabled. Another one has seen the light dark! Come to the dark side! We have cookies! On topic: I haven't bought any premiumcamo yet (not counting those that comes with premiumships ofc.) even though some deals were enticing like the get 2 pay 1 deals that came with the IJN DD split and most likely are going to happen with the USN Cruiser split too. The reason was always the price as it is just to much for what i get (for me), because I have plenty of credits with no way to spend them all and i have premiumtime and signals/camo for the xp. (in my situation i even considered to stop buying premiumtime if the resultscreen just wouldn't remind me on things i miss out on every friggin match) I thought these Premiumcamos would change that as they look friggin awesome! I could afford some but I just feel that 8k dubloons is just a too steep pricetag that puts me of buying even one. I was very interested in the Zaocamo, but i sadly don't have Zao yet and this is a timelimited thing where you couldn't get the camo before you have the ship unlike with the halloween ones. I would've certainly bought 2 for 5k dubloons (or maybe even 3 if I could buy Zao before getting there) but now I end up with buying none. I may even have to consider toggling my first camofilter when this goes live to not get that salty/envy feeling whenever I may meet those in battle.

The dream.... Will it come true?

Leaving a game only because you think it is lost is very toxic. A friend of mine is passionate about the Fifa games, yet i regularly hear from him that some evenings are just plain not fun because everyone is leaving when he is in a clear lead. All he can do then is play for the lead and never actualy win to feel some closure. Do you want WoWS to become like that? Leaving any teambased or competetive onlinegame against real other players early should always be a punishable event that can lead to bans otherwise the overall fun for everyone will devolve. It is your fault if you know of the issue and don't do anything to fix your setup. If you can't fix it then maybe coop is the place for you. right they can't oblige you to play. You can just quit the game and leave. If you can't ensure that you can play for the next 20 minutes then don't play. The system won't punish you for rare emergencies or when it does some coop games won't be the end of the world because it is rare right? Grievers can be reported to support and should be punished by automated systems too in the future. Just because he did wrong doesn't mean you have the right to follow him. Just don't fight on their level as you are giving them exactly what they want. I am actually supporting the idea to make players that have premiumships that punch way above their league to only play those in coop. This would solve your last point as well. Sadly it will never happen and like MrConway already wrote paying money shouldn't make you immune to punishment. You don't want skillbased MM... trust me on this one. If you still think skillbased MM is a good idea think it through please. How is WG supposed to do that? There is no cure for stupidity. Make it impossible to do severe damage to any ship that makes big mistakes? That would turn the game into a stale DPS match to see who can slowly drain the enemys hp faster. Again there is no cure for stupidity. There is some serious slack regarding proper tutorials and teaching from WG, i give you that point though. If WG could do that we wouldn't have as many issues with the game than we have right now.... Are you a hypocrite? Or do you actualy see the contradiction here? Which is a selfish reason by definition..... ...which is clearly WGs fault....... So what is wrong here? Either don't torp or take the risk and accept the possible punishment of some measly few coop/pink matches Those issues will get punished too? Actualy the solution is pretty smart. If those players can't (or don't bother) to play fairly against a human team they get stuck in the mode against the bots. Are you one of those players that demand that I go into cap with my Khaba while it is clear that i will only take more damage from that compared to kiting outside for an almost 0% chance to actualy cap? Yes I will cap abandoned/free caps even in Khaba, but if the chances are slim all you will get from me is a "nope!". Also it is rather hard to get defended points if the enemy doesn't bother to cap. Should I be punished only for getting an enemyteam that digs in behind the cap insteads of going in?

Oh? I haven't seen anything like that announced on an official firstparty WoWS Forum/Channel so you don't need to fear anything yet. Still not very nice though.... Easy solution is playing high tiers. As far as I know a double CV game is impossible for Tier VIII+ CVs (even if there were enough in the queue) Also like El2azer said under Tier VIII the CVs usualy are rather easy to avoid by sticking together and the only real scary CVs in Midtier are Saipans, Kagas and Hiryu.

I think he meant the catapult fighters and not CV Figters.... For the Healing a possible solution would be to make the heal faster aka more HP healed per secound but with shorter duration to get to the same amount of healed hp. Which would be a fair tradeoff if you consider you have to give up something for it. (maybe in slot 2?) That would also increase amount of HP healed and make it a must pick or too expensive to use depenedant on the slot it goes in. Generaly speaking i am against more special modules that inflate the SC pricepool further.

If only we could...... I would disable Standart battles instantly.

What a cruel picture! That poor girl seems to be chased by some scary stalkers. Someone needs to lick that window clean for her to get back to sleep again.

Wait wasn't that upgrade kind of low on the impact it has on the ships or did you guys fix that in the meantime? Reduces the risk of flooding or fire: -3% to the risk of flooding and damage received when torpedoes hit the torpedo protection. -5% to the risk of fire. Is that still -3/5% reduction of the already low chance of a fire/flood (as in 5% of 14% chance to getting set on fire) or are these values actually added as whole percentage to the flood/fire protection of said ship? (fire resilliance for said ship= 14% so +5%=19%?) If it is still the first one I would pick the other modules (or in this case the special speedboost) any day like i am doing right now.

well it needs to install too but you are of course right it also depends on how much the client has to redownload and hence also the downloadspeed matters. What I meant is it really depends on the local cicumstances and will take longer if something is outdated or not optimal. And last time i messed up my client it took my pc over a quarter of an hour to fix it.

It actualy has the same max range as the glorious Secondaryboats Bismarck and Tirpitz, the only difference is the guns aren't just as effective due to their setup (either AP instead of HE or guncaliber)

well it takes longer when something is actualy broken, which is why you would normaly do this in the first place.

No it doesn't play like Nagato and Amagi it plays just like Izumo (but with lolpen gunsize), which is exactly the reason why you really shouldn't skip Izumo.( Why everone hates on Awezumo? ) At the same time you are correct in assuming Yamato plays like a bowtanking citadel sniping fortress that is excellent at areadenial. If you want to go secoundaries you can do that just like on Bismarck, but if you want a competetive build then the survivalbuild suggested by @walter3kurtz is the way to go.

This is you first post here? Really? Okay for the slight chance that you return here to actualy read this: This is a forum. A forums purpose is to have a discussion over forum related topics (world of warships in this case) To actualy start a discussion you as the topiccreator have to offer something that we can discuss about and (potentionaly) help you. Please start with elaborating how you think this game is "faked" and at best provide some clues to explain why you came to this conclusion, like screenshots or even better a replay we can watch to see if there is something wrong and/or explain to you why there is nothing wrong and what actualy happened. If you are asking in a clear will to learn, you don't have to be afraid, as this forum is filled with very helpful and kind players that will give you good advice (given the right attitude). If you however go around and spit accusations (to the game) and simply want to spread your (most likely false) tinfoilhat theory, you will earn nothing but harsh words and ridicule, like you can see from the 4 posts above. (we already are very tired of those kind of posters)

it depends on how powerful your PC is. Mine takes about 20-30 minutes for a integritycheck. (last time i checked was some while ago though)

Ugh Facebook.... Thanks for the headsup anyways.

But...But.... there ain't a cv in the shop! Jeah better not do that... On Topic: I can't understand why you would TK yourself other than maybe being the last survivor in a lost match (all caps red and 4+ enemys alive) to make it quick for everyone.
