Spotted @SkipperCH but only after the glorious defeat our team accomplished. Sorry for not spotting you in battle, but I was busy struggling with that tier 11 supershi* of mine.

At first I thought you meant yourself.

WG does not seem interested in giving the playerbase what they want from this game, at least not the player base that I myself and many others find themselves part of.

Well, as I said, this is due to the game having dodgy mechanics. If you push against a DD in a BB, the DD will see you coming long before you even know where it is. DD's are also fast, they won't hang around in the spot where they were last seen. You could do this if you had a DD ahead of your BB scouting and spotting the DD, but if your DD end ups sunk, you'll be in deep trouble, literally. Don't forget, all this time you will probably also be trading that HP unfavourably, because one or more of the enemy ships will be targeting you with AP and HE constantly.

Yes, well.. there is the problem. A BB is not supposed to chase after DD's... this is for the DD's and the cruisers, but few cruisers will be able to do much anything because of dodgy game mechanics.

FTFY

This would not be a good direction, economically or otherwise. Okay... I never experienced any problems before or now, at least when on premium time. Neither did I. Actually... I complain a lot more these days, but not necessarily about in game economy.

Huh? We economy was like fantastically generous in WoWS compared to WoT. I played both games and never in the million years could I have afforded equivalent high tier gaming in WoT as opposed to WoWS.

Yamagiri turned out to be a real slap in the face.

Part of the problem may be that the game throws some CV's in midst with the ships that never had any AA, and not any real need for it either. That includes ships up to tier 5, as well, unless I'm mistaken.

Well, that's one of the problems with game design. Whereas in the real world they'd be trying to make the AA as strong as possible, they wouldn't be worrying that much about whether that's going to be fun for the enemy or not. In the game world, you kind of have to find another way to go about it. Let's assume they go for something like a historical accuracy in terms of stats perfomance. Then they'd need to use modifiers to adjust the performance to something that can be balanced. What can they do? There's a) skill; b) luck; c) God forbid, money; d) what else?

This must be because of 'historical accuracy' which we know WG values highly. These ships are simply without AA because there weren't really any planes (to speak of) which they have needed to shoot at, since there were really no such thing as carriers to encounter either. Historical accuracy matters.

What sort of proof? A selfie taken in front of the Eiffel Tower or something like that? Or the traditional 'three letters mailed to that adress' kind of super secure proof?

So... WG is essentially like the taxman?

Cheers! Vote submitted.

I can't submit my vote because question no 2 requires a field, and I cannot reply to question no 2 because I did get one of those superships.

I don't even need Petro for that....

We do?

Had a pretty horrible battle yesterday (Greece, south team). We did fairly well but around the mid point of the battle it was clear nobody was going to challenge the enemy DD's pooling on the mid cap. Eventually one of them torped my BB... Most of our surving ships were just sunbathing at A while the enemy was regrouping. We did also have a Condé at 70% health... deciding not to help with the DD's but instead going on a world cruise around the east edge of the map in order to cap the north cap there.... and then an Ohio from A cap decided it was a good idea to go against the enemy DD's (< note the plural) . Later on, our Ruprecht thought it was a masterly move to go north from A cap to face the enemy ships alone... a yolo warrior in the making... At this point I had to ask did most of the players on our team start playing the game yesterday.....

Just on Riga and grinding for Petro. What seems to be the problem with Petro?

One more of those birds...

Birds of a feather...

This vessel has an interresting history.

There is bittersweet irony in how both the devs and the players alike fall victim to the same sunk cost fallacy trap.
