https://wows-numbers.com/player/526953200,El2aZeR/ He plays every ship class (less DDs as of late, for some reason I can't fathom) and makes other shipclasses seem broken too. Check his solo page and sort on WR if you want to check some of the most OP ships in game, like mogami, roon, yorck, big freddy...

That's because you have a functioning brain. The average damage I get from setting a flooding is around 1,5 k...

Other possibility of (doing) what?

cause haku is severely underpowered. Plz buff now weegee!

It's the AA The difference between t6 and t8 AA is hilarious. Which makes even the mere idea of "balancing" tier 8 carriers (which see both t6 and t10 AA) an act of insanity.

Curious. What does shokaku have left then? (except sad memories of the days of yore)

So, you're almost at 15000 games eh... ONE OF US ONE OF US ONE OF US

Ok a few more weeks have gone by, and the only thing I can see this rework has done is make BBs even more survivable, if that wasn't the purpose in the first place. @MrConway can we have some feedback? - Is it doing what you wanted out of it regarding BBs being even more survivable, even though you've been stating three years ago now already you guys wanted to keep that in check? - Is it doing what you wanted regarding giving people who get floodings, more damage out of it? - If possible, please share some flooding damage from before flooding nerf (not "rework") and from after - Are there any plans for reworking the rework? thx

Where's the stream mister? :)

The sarcasm is weak in you, young padawan.

Cause that's the easy way out. I did say "man up"

The best? There's so many to pick from, but I'd have to say CV-DD interaction.

Regarding SS for IJN CVs, I'm basically waiting for @El2aZeR to man up and give haku some more tries I'm running CE anyway, but also the concealment module - which leaves me 2 planes short at the start, but the 6,1 km detectability of the TBs is too glorious for me. Day before yesterday I flew by a neptune unnoticed for half a minute and giggled at his pannick. (But then I of course saw none of the 2 relatively close-by tier ten masterrace specimens not shooting at him... Can't have it all). That detection guarantees that all those pesky fighters will never ever be launched in time, probably prevents sectors being switched correctly, and allows for a fast route to undetection. Compensates for the +2 planes imho. SS I really don't know. I also don't really know what to take in its place - I tried it once for a few games and took TA + AR. TA isn't really necessary imho and I don't know what results the AR gave, so yea. I spew out a brand new yammie captain yesterday (one with bft+manAA for randoms, as opposed to yamamoto with full tank for cbs) so I don't really have the elite captain xp to change builds every day atm. I wish we had some data fetishists here to give every build a few hundred games and give us some nice graphs. I know that a lot of the NA CV guys have abandonned SS on every carrier, even Midway. The only somewhat decent discussion on reddit was which included this pic Also, my views aren't uncontested anyway. I know @Alelos at least thinks the concealment module for haku is overkill (at least compared to getting extra planes), and does notice a difference in using SS. Whatever may be, it certainly is way overpriced at 4 points.

Indeed. You can get your aim with the bombers ready quite a while before effectively striking and the TBs don't need it whatsoever. So dump SS on them, total waste of 4 points.

Except Sight stabilization has nothing to offer on Brit CVs - so why not take CE instead. And I'm still uncertain if the skill is worth it on IJN.

ships? plural? What other ones?

You mean "press F"?

https://eu.wargaming.net/shop/wows/main/ They're all tier eight, so buy now, and go have fun with the minotaurs @Alelos, there's a package to get all of them, with speshul discount, €164

Just out of curiosity, how do you play her when +2 uptiered? Cause as you say torps are meh in damage, but going in with the DBs will probably get most of them killed, no? And how are the rockets vs DDs with that bow-to-stern reticle?

I meant, I wanted Stuka's for DBs and BF109s for fighers. Don't really care what TBs they'd given her cause afaik she wasn't planned with any. That kind of thing would be the only reason to persuade me to spend close to €50 for a tier 8 cv and the glorious matchmaking that comes with it. (or, alternatively, something horribly broken )

It's weird she's doing so good (still behind mighty Indomitable :D) since she looks extremely weak in every department to me, judging from some streams I saw. Her battle number is quite low, so we'll have to see what the next couple of weeks brings. I'm betting she will turn out lower on that table. That's not to say I wouldn't have bought her, but they gave her those stupid planes so I don't care anymore.

Imho tier seven hasn't been the "golden tier" for a while, hence I stopped playing it. It's still better (regarding its matchmaker) than tier 5,6 and 8, but it used to be much better (I'm talking about at least since half a year ago) And together with tier 5 and 6 the ships there are the most (nagato vs musashi, atlanta vs donskoi, and all the BS premium ships there) when seeing +2 - and you're supposed to depend on your top tier ships to do some heavy lifting, which will never happen. Not to mention that if there's carriers in such a game - which would be a t8 cv - he will focus you, and he'll take a big dump over you as well.

Shouting "HAVING FUN YET??" in chat like an ordinary pleb I keep it at "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?" - way more classy

Not a problem with it as such, if appropriate, but people do it all the time. Typical example: one team splits up, gets 2 caps basically for free. The majority of their opponents fleet will often still go on and kite when the third cap gets contested. It's one thing to "camp"/kite/(whatever so called "cowardice" we are talking about) if vastly outnumbered, but people are such pussies they default to "running away"/"doing nothing". - I've seen games - a lot of them recently - basically be over in 6/7 minutes - with the team without caps falling back to the border. - As counterpoint: I've seen the team with all the caps lose as well, going in little groups toward the enemy blob And most - if indeed not almost all - games these days are just variations of those two things - a roflstomp or a massive throw - cause people don't want to use their brains (or lack one) and are too much of a pussy to try anything whatsoever that might get them damaged. edit: I should also add that not a single mechanic will change the general playerbase's mind about that. German BBs were introduced for exactly that purpose: making a hard push at the right time - anyone see that a lot? I can tell you now that when the RU BBs are going to be introduced with the same intended purpose, most of their players will still be unwilling to move forward - and I'm gonna bet that "b-b-but I only have limited damagecons" will be the standard excuse.

Out of curiosity: are you serious here? Cause I still (try to) play some games solo, and I can't say I look forward to see a 4-div of ttt, omni, whomever against me... Curious what data you're looking at. Though there are some potatoes who got access to stalingrad and maybe bourgogne, it's not a lot - while everyone and his sister-that's-also-his-mother has access to musashi/JB/etc. All memes about Stalingrad (&moskva) about "disguised bbs" aside, they have an extremely accessible citadel from any range (which in this game makes them not a BB). Pseudo-yamato at tier nine however is stupid and broken. Same for JB/Bourgogne with their combination of speed/reload consumable/best bb AA ingame.
