This game was basically 2 v 12. My results https://replayswows.com/replay/145840#stats and my div mates results and point of playing view https://replayswows.com/replay/145838#stats

Part of the reason for playing them now is so when they go live. I know the in and out of the little suckers so I can work around them efficiently. I don't have much of an urge to play them when they go live itself.

Not yet. Just haven't got round to getting them.

T9 is better for that just because of the generous MM you get.

Nah, It's basically a baby Mino with no citadel. It murders most other DD's in a 1 v 1 and can ruin light cruisers. It's short smokes also mean you can pitch a smoke. Farm and then move on to another safe point. It's a very dangerous little ship. Giving it Torps or even another turret would be game breaking.

Sure they are.... I mean I sure wish I was in an almighty BB not a weak cruiser... Ohhh somebody will say "Russian Bias etc etc" So...

I had one of those yesterday

Terrible teams happen. Had 4 in a row last night that were so bad, so so sooooo bad that I found myself just laughing at what I was seeing. Was I mad? Nope. It was entertaining watch all the ways to play crap 😅.

Actually kinda yeah. I've found I nkw consistently hit about 70-80k damage a game. But, I've not had a single 100k plus game. I've shown just how many big damage games I racked up previously. Those homing torps now not being as stupid as they were against cruisers and DD's has pegged the damage back. Which is good and needed. I however am consistently doing damage to BB's with none pinged torps. They now don't expect it, and I can fire closer than most DD's. So even then their evasion time is not enough to avoid a most of the set. Gonna do some more proper none silly testing over the next couple of nights. I feel they no longer really serve a role or purpose that a DD can't do better. They are just annoying. Biggest issue is the sub v sub element. I mean I've killed opposing subs. But by then, every ASW plane in existence has been dropped on you. So.... yeah, playing the rest of a game with 5k HP is super fun.... (No matter what, it always comes down to how boring it feels to play them.)

I shotgunned a Minotaur from full HP to zero by staying undetected 1.7km away at peri depth while it was in smoke. It was dead before he turned his turrets. Lol

Or it's far more likely the people find them boring to play and play against. Which they are boring in every aspect.

You're not getting it are you. I don't care if I play with people who have a 35% WR or 80% WR. I do care about having to wait ages for a point and click game. Arranging this style of game for skilled MM does not work. It's been tried and tested in other similar games and they've tanked.

There are at best, a small handful of players in my bracket on NA at any given time. So no. Your idea does truly suck.

Played 3 games (solo because apparently any results in a div is "flawed"). Overall subs are still boring, but still very dangerous and difficult to deal with. I hit in the 3 games about the same stats as the previous iteration of Balao and felt no real difference other than DD's do have a better dodging chance, which was needed. Subs V Sub is still just stupid awkward underwater dancing whilst everyone with ASW chucks stuff from above. 1st game. Started on a the empty flank which meant chasing damage. Ohhh boi, that was "fun"... *Bore fest from start to end* 2nd game. Pretty meh. Only 9 v 9 so less HP on the map but a bit more "space". This was the game with the awkward underwater sub dancing in which you hit nothing but play avoid the little red balls of death underwater..... Again. pretty boring game itself. 3rd game. Ahhhh Epicentre. How everyone loathes you. Just sit in middle, turn in circles, send out torps.... *yawn* But their CV did decide to let me shotgun it... so there was that... Again. Boring as f***. Overall stats show even without use of homing torps due to how close you can get top targets it's still possible to hit almost 30% Torp hit rates. Those that find they can't hit anything. I'm afraid it's an error between your chair and keyboard.

No. I'm not waiting in queue for a stupid amount of time because the majority of the player base wish to remain crap.

It's also now crystal clear why they got rid of friendly fire damage....

I get home tonight. I hope the NA player base is ready to have "fun".

Because it's not hard to win while playing solo (some classes do hold more influence but still). The only consistent factor in every game is the individual player playing.

MM is a bit.... Strange at the moment due to a mix lr Arms Race being around and Sib testing.

Wish I could do that. But my stupid NA clan gets getting it's purple tag 😂

If it's any concelation I play on NA currently :P

I suggest trying to learn and get good then before an entire moan post on it's 1st day of a new update. I can't wait to test them Sunday and blow ships out the water, proving yet again it's the player base that are the real issue on top of the unbalanced the class on game.
