Die CV werden in der nächsten Zeit aussterben, aber da WG ja jetzt offiziell davon redet, daß CV nur purer Support sein sollen ist das ja kein wirklicher Verlust.

No, the mirror MM was called for by the CBT CV players. The problem is: It was expected that we'd have IJN as Strike experts (no longer possible) and USN as air superiority experts (still possible) So with one requirement no longer in the game it's bound to fail.

Happens when it doesn't have enough ships in the queue to work with. So it tries to give both sides the same sum in Tiers.

If they really want that to be true, then go ahead WG. I won't spend another cent on this game and will tell anybody who is interested in it to not bother unless they can accept that a class changes it's intended role in the game from one day to the other.

If that's T12 AA, then please look again at Montanas AA DPS values.

Your own fault, since you obviously were sailing around alone without AA cover. Which just means you deserve to be sunk without a chance.

She's in all regards worse than Atago, except her very good AA. She almost has the same AA dps that Montana has. As for the rest? If I see someone claiming russian bias in this game again I will point them to this ship.

Well... If CV commanders think that the criss-cross point drop maneuver that leaves 0 chances to any DD captain to survive will keep on been tolerated when WG decides to open the range of Ranked battles to higher tiers to include CVs with 2 Torp squadrons... They are bound to receive a nasty surprise. I suppose that, when that unavoidable moment happens, CVs will prefer an increase on arming range than the removal of the 2 torp squadron configurations, don't you think? (I'm assuming that WG will not come with some "revolutinary" idea like making DDs suddenly AA capable or magically ignore Torps launched at point blank... Which would be hilarious to see but disastrous game balance-wise) You could already now use the IJN CV with 2TBs. No one used them? Why's that? Because you can't sink DDs anymore with torps who are slower(!) than the DD itself. If you get sunk by a crossdrop, you are doing something major wrong.

Aber, die Rohre müssen doch einmal Testgeschossen werden, zum Aufwärmen und zum gucken, ob alles in Ordnung ist!

Mit AP mußt du einfach die Schwachpunkte der Schiffe kennen, wie zb. Achtern bei den KM CL/CA, Torpedowerfer, Steiltreffer durchs dünne Deck etc. Dazu kommt, daß du gerade aufgrund der guten pen auch gern Overpens sammeln kannst (10% Schadenshits). Von vorne im Spitzen Winkel ist halt immer eine Sache, weil AP gerade da gut abprallen kann. Bei Zao mußt du vor allem an die 4 Torp Werfer achtern denken, da hast du Munitionslager über das halbe Schiff. Was da reingeht macht dann entsprechend auch gut Schaden. Was mich etwas wundert ist, daß du mit Zao so Probleme hast. Du solltest doch schon ab T5 an mit Furutaka AP dauer benutzt haben und damit nach und nach die Schwachstellen der verschiedenen Schiffe/Reihen kennengelernt haben.

On a side Note: Yes, Zuikaku is Shoukaku. She's also named like her sister in replays, for whatever reason.

The only high Tier CV who can barely(!) do it's job is Midway. The rest is not even worth playing atm.

The number of BB and DD players will drop due to better destructive power of CVs. What would they play instead? CV? Good joke. Not much choice there.

Would be nice to get a statement from WG that using Aim Assist is still not accepted, since there are obviously some people who think that they can now use it without any problems due to Ducat not being banned.

See the first reply in this thread, from me...

CA don't need a Buff. CV need one. With more planes in the air you'll see more CA and less DD and BB.

Naja, so planlos wie viele durch die Gegend schippern, kann man aber auf 20km auch ohne Aim assist gut was treffen...

Wenn der BB skipper es richtig macht, und die Leute hinter im nicht schlafen, ist 1vs4 an der Front allerdings durchaus machbar. Wenn natürlich alle in zweiter Reihe abdrehen und das Weite suchen...

At least the Mikhail has T10 AA.

Shameless selfquote, for those who want to compare. These are the values from the PT. Stock and upgraded hull values, without rudderupgrade.

Oi, facts don't have a place in this discussion.

As you said, it's not a simulation. It is an arcade game and in this game the DD are the counter for BB. With a limited number of torps they couldn't do that job at all, because even with the best planing you won't get a higher hitrate with torps than 15%. Now tell me how many torp hits that would make if a DD like Fubuki with 3x3 launchers only had one reload? Or even with two reloads? Can the DD sink a BB with that? Since you proclaim nothing else here. More than 8 to 10 reloads aren't even possible for a high Tier DD due to the abysmal reload time at the moment. Unless you want to introduce one-shot torps, obviously.

Leider verstehen in diesem Forum allerhöchstens 1% der Leute, wie man eine Statistik richtig liest. Der Rest sieht nur Zahlen und denkt sich "höher = besser"

I haven't played WoT in ages, so you don't have to come at me with insults. Matter of fact is: BBs shoot like arty in this game, especially with most BB skippers playing the class wrong sniping all the time. Most BB DON'T go to the front to tank damage, even if it's their job. So the comparison is valid. You can't compare them to CVs at all, since a CV skipper with at least some brain in his head will NOT stay in the back. Also, can you evade arty shells like you can evade planes?

Okay, the short list for you, to see if that's enough to make you stop: You want realism for DDs as in limited torpedos? Sure, if we also get a) The real hitrate for BBs, which was around 2% b) The real Long Lance IJN torps (which were invisible with a range of 40km) c) Real fighting distances: 200km between the two fleets, CVs are the main weapons, the rest only AA escort d) Real acceleration of ships. "Yai, my BB is finally at full speed after 20 minutes! ... Wait a sec... " The list can go on, but I think that should be a good enough start to show you that your idea is pure and simple BS. You don't want skill for DDs, but to be able to sail around even more braindead in your BB.
