What i liked : 1- shorter queue time, and mirrored CV MM 2- great rewards 3- good tiers What i disliked : 1- larger number of DDs in a match (common to have more than 3) 2- cap placement, made even the attempt to pass near it, extremely risky due to endless waves of torpedo's and/or heavy HE fire, due to their closed location 3- battles are static and revolve around the caps circles alone 4- the nature of the mode, makes DDs asymmetrically powerful, due to torpedoes/guns and ability to cap My suggestions -hard cap on number of DDs in a team to 2 -extra credit earned in victory, compared to random battles, to increase number of potential players -reworked star earning system -caps positioned in open waters without cover -players who are repeatedly reported and/or score poorly, are fined more severely -premium time reward

I loved the yubari, but it's useless, Russian and US DDs can wreck you, you have crap slow guns that are nerfed this patch, and your torps are very limited Honestly, the only thing you're reliably good at is AA, which is not that fun chasing around planes

i am spending all my points, because i know i will reset them for free

i feel the same, im thinking of buying back the Furutaka, i quite enjoyed before the buff, now its even better, i think i would give it a try and get away from the dull high tiers

high tiers just feels broken to me, CA are nuked far too easily, in one game this Roon, wouldnt leave me alone, even though he had countless targets much closer and broadside to him, he just kept spamming HE, in another a Tirpitz, doing exactly the same, and took half my health even though a burning amagi was broadside 7KM from him burning and low on HP, he still fired at me, i will never understand people... another thing are DDs, carpet torping (torp wall) is customary in high tiers particularly in T10, as a CA or BB, you just cant move without either being pummelled by AP from afar or run into a torp or both, making the whole game a hit and run, because you cant know what you're going to run into. now to make it worse, the economy is brutal if not premium, and the player quality is down to your luck, which makes T10 games not only a waste of money but also time

a warship with pink colour is just wrong in my opinion, and yeah, me and majority of people from around the world think that pink is a very girly colour

how can a DD be more in control of the duel against a CA? the Kiev for example is extremely powerful, even after the nerf, the amount of shells it can dish out coupled with its high speed, makes it very hard to hit it, while cruisers take shell after shell with the fire of course . just today in my Hipper i lost half my health and then sunk, to a Kiev with its incessant spamming of AP then HE fire, isnt my job is to seek and kill DD?, shouldn't i be able to able to reasonably deal with them without being afraid to be absolutely showered with little reply?. this may sound like a rant thread and it may be so, but this is a serious issue for the game, if i play BBs, i expect my team's CA's to at least drive away enemy DDs, but this isnt always the case, RU and high tier American DDs (Benson for ex) are such a pain to deal with, that many CAs actively seek to stay away from, especially in ranked mode, i cant tell how many times i got lit up by a Benson in smoke and only managed to survive with 1/2 or less of my HP. if DDs continue to spamm everyone so easily with such monotonous regularity, the whole rock/paper/scissors system breaks down, since they can do CA's job with inferior AA

the Ibuki is not a bad ship, it can hold its own very well, the problem with it is the high tiers environment is AP-heavy, its common to be sailing minding your own business and suddenly lose half your HP due to some BB random sniping. the Mogami however, i loved that ship even before the game came out, a famous advanced Heavy cruiser, but the game is broken, and favours small calibre guns over the historically preferred 203mm, and as a result everyone is spammed with reckless abandon by mogami's who are intentionally using the 155+AFT to spamm everyone to absurd ranges, it should be an improved Myoko (even though its the other way around) with better armour and torps, not a T8 Cleveland

how so? its his username in the game, from what i've seen in the videos

guess who i ran into the other day

sadly no, i havent enabled the replay on the PT

i like it, i tested it in the Amagi, and it worked beautifully, for once, the shells seem to actually go toward the target not to nearby friendlies, islands and going wildly to everywhere but the target. the skill is only useful on ships that have strong secondary armament, its not worth it on american BBs, and its only useful when you see a DD stalking you, combined with AFT, and you can at least be reasonably threatening to DDs, not by that much, but its better than before, i've done 14K damage to a NC while brawling, and maybe some 4-7K to a Kiev after. i haven't got the chance to see it in action on the Izumo, but it will be glorious

and DDs spamming HE with total impunity...

i find the fact of 155mm being practically more powerful in the game than the 203mm absurd, you see all these mogami's spamming with reckless abandon while even higher tier ships like the Ibuki, will have to be punished by the endless stream of HE

i think the problem is more fundamental than that, Ranked is simply boring and forces two teams to engage at near point blank, DDs are king and extremely OP (Fubuki is especially dangerous) with endless waves of torps, cap this defend that, try to defend this BB.... it needs to be dynamic, and rewards mobility and flexibility, there needs to be more than 2 caps, and should be only on larger maps, so teams would be spread, and have to make decisions of either split ships to handle a threat or sail all together

while i see people trying to make a rational argument to justify the HE abuse, i still see cruisers doing absurd amount of damage by HE while in a BB, but thats borderline ok, BBs can repair fire damage, its not ok for a Mogami with 155 doing more damage than one with 203, it makes no sense, it basically encourage people to get the fastest firing ships and spam away, no need to aim properly or switch ammo, just spam HE till its stop moving. this is what i see as absurd, i am a mainly CA player, but even i have to admit the HE spam is just broken, and another thing i am annoyed about, is how regular fire is, in a cruiser fire is lethal, since your repair party can be on cooldown often, being burned alive while still getting spammed, while waiting for your bigger, slower and the supposedly more powerful guns to reload

i wish elite ships have the ability go generate extra Free XP, like maybe 20% of the XP won, because i have over 2 million free XP just setting there

i loved the Furutaka, no problem with it, and that was before the patch and the buff, its armed with great 8'' guns at T5 which makes it one of the most dangerous ships in a match. the Yorck on the other hand, my god is it awful, the guns have such absurdly high arc, you cant aim at fast targets, because you have to lead by a HUGE amount, not to mention its horrible armour, weak AA, ok-esh AP power, i just cant see mylself getting 100,000XP with that potato

just had this yesterday does WG think we BBs can win in these matches?, btw although its obvious, i was killed by a DD torpedo spam

high tiers are very frustrating, playing cruisers, everything seems very powerful, Torp caperting by shima's, heavy air attack by enemy CV, and on top all that, BBs will snipe you from 20km away, while you're sailing on the other side of the map minding your own business basically expect to lose at least half of your health if you're near the action, if you're hiding far, then expect half of it gone by a torpedo or a CV attack

i was disappointed by the Ibuki, it felt much superior back in CBT, however, the Zao is worth the grind, the Ibuki isnt a bad ship, its just too vulnerable to anything using AP

yub i agree, just a few days ago, i got reported purely for surviving and winning the match, getting the ''kraken unleashed'' medal, the guy who reported me said so in the chat while cursing at me, to this day, i have no idea why, he was 20km away from me. this Karma system is utterly stupid, given the freedom of reporting other players, but at least its useless, for now....

Zao is simply gorgeous, even though most of IJN ships have beautiful hulls and with curvy lines, only the Zao looks as beautiful while looking very menacing at the same time, those triple turrets, and wide front deck just do something for me

the game community is retarded, yesterday in my Fuso, a kongo player complained about his loss streak and said he wants to win, i, feeling very confidant in my ever reliable Fuso, said that he is in for a treat today , and ended up having a monster game, with Kraken unleached medal and 149K damage, winning the match after almost certain defeat, with me alone against 4 ships, all while a dead New Mexico player is cursing at the n00b team, and a Furutaka is cursing at me for some reason ''you lick your mama's p****'' was one of his lines. needless to say, i was expecting some praise, not for the sake of complements, but to see how i'll get a notification for it, which is new, i ended up getting none, and this is one of now many of matches that i do very well but get nothing, even the Kongo players which i messaged him after the match to congratulate him for unlocking the Fuso didnt even bother to message me back nor even report the good gameplay. its just the games community is full of immature people and the sane ones are silent lurkers, at least thats how it looks to me -sorry for the long post -
