This ^^ Do you think i give a rats on a Kurf about concealment? Or a Yam? Or anything that can be spotted from the moon anyway? Or i can have an anti deep water torp radar to save me being spanked, with my health evaporation faster than anything i could receive from "lower" concealment ? Like Defensive AA on the old RST, having it makes one class of ships disappear completely. That is priceless for BB's main enemy, DWT. I play BB's alot and this is hella good. HELLA GOOD.

I do like the way you didn't answer the mans question....Don't worry, we have kinda become accustomed to it. Can you take a look at this please, you might find it helpful: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/oct/28/never-give-a-straight-answer-zoe-williams-learns-to-talk-like-a-politician So i will answer it for you. @L8viathan BB players are getting fed up of not seeing torps until they are sinking. The Asashio is too strong (spreadsheet says so) and needs a nerf and in doing so, the Asian line is collateral damage. As they also have DWT there is no loss. Sorry if you are grinding it, just grind the new and most powerful line instead. The YY was a lost cause anyway. Torps and flooding are a big problem in this game (spreadsheet says so) and BB players are not enjoying this. Captain skills and what not isn't good enough, we need anti torp radar and here we go. We also feel like slow AF torps need a nerf too. Their slowness puts many BB potatoes off who cant judge when to turn, so we have sorted it. Now you can light a cigarette and casually turn the wheel to avoid them. Or We are trying to encourage BB players to push and grow a set. By giving them anti torp radar, more torp belt and stack able with captain skills we hope this will encourage the growth of said pair. See, that was easier. And please don't ban me again for trolling like your minons did during the PR atomic explosion. There is nothing trolling about this one just like the last one, just honesty. I'm just helping you out mate and saying what you wanna say but cant because you are an employee. Oh and you wouldn't have to nerf premiums if you balanced them right in the first place!!!! Have a fantastic day. Glad i can help

Not interested. I mean how easy do you want it WG for the development guys. So you will have 3 ships with the same hull, how bloody lame. What is the next one gonna be? A massive laser beam sticking out the hull? Turning broadside to get all your secondaries firing? One-way ticket back to the port. Plus....No heaver guns above 460mm? You are so full of it WG, no surprise there. would i get it for Coal? Yes. Steel? Maybe. Money? Not a chance. With the upcoming DD nerf, basically a lightning with radar and already have the LY and KIDD. A big miss. Coal? Yes. Steel? No. Money? Not a chance. Upcoming torp nerf and BB buff mods and the fact it's another torp boat (boring) give it a miss. Stick with your shimmy (or silver IJN line), Somes and that premium Russian tier 9 DD thingy. Coal? No. Steel? No. Money? Not a chance. Interesting. The only one so far i will even think about. Seigfried with 305? Coal? Yeah. Steel? Yeah. Money? Not a chance.

Nutshell Nerf to DD's (hardest hit, both with torps and AA), buff to BB's (auto torp warning systems, harder torp belts) and buff for CV's (no more extra flack bursts, so more noob frendly). Crusiers are in-between, some better off than others. Summary Glad i'm not grinding the Pan Euro line with deep water. Cant wait to have auto avoid torp systems on my BB's and my lovely sims is reduced to a pure gunboat which its not the greatest at. My Kidd has been AA nerfed, again and i can make Ships like the Belfast OP to OOP. I play 3 of the 4 lines so yeah... But the funnies thing is still there "nerf" to Russian (Kremlin) ship. Giving less HP to AA mounts???? Really, what a crock.lol lol Lets see what these jokers end up coming out with. Oh and cant wait until subs come out. You think DD's are having a hard time now?

This and This ^^^ That button just staring at you.... That is the way WG roll. "oh, i can get it for 15,000?" "people got this and spent far more, i need it, i need it!!!!!!". They then buy it for £40-50 and there you go, WG make a killing. If i wasn't against the whole event and have morales, then i would defo buy the PR for £30-40. I mean what a bargain really for a tier 10 ship? But the moment you press that button, the more you encourage WG to do kinda physiology crap again and making shareholders very happy. I can buy it outright for 25,000, so £70 right now without spending anything on boosters. Is that good? For a tier 10 ship and considering how much a tier 9 ship is, it's bearable. But considering i think tier 9's are too expensive i can not force myself to spend a family weeks worth of shopping for a small pixel ship that is alright. Considering I have most tier 10 ships already, with the Grad being much better and Alaska pound or pound. Question is...Would WG have made more money if they outright sold this in the shop? Shame because i think i would love the ship (like US crusiers and their versatile). i'm just glad that it's not game braking where owning one will give you a massive advantage in CB's and such. WG COULD have done this (like in the past with the Grad) but thank god they didn't. It's a balanced ship.

Yes, the playerbase is at it's lowest level. But like WG have clearly stated, tiers + Skill = doesn't mean anything to them. Tier 10 is treated the same as tier 2. They expect the same type of players at both tiers. Same old from him, as expected.. Pretty much this ^^ It's all money chaps.. I've got to that point and have come to peace with randoms. It's how WG roll so...It's a cluster. But WG have set their cards out and we have what we have. Anyone can play any tier at any level with any skill. But when it effects competitive things like CB or Ranked then skill really does matter in my books and things should change. But ranked hasn't and is far more frustrating than randoms! The only thing they have got right skill wise is CB. You meet teams your own skill 9/10 and you progress depending on your skill and teamwork. When your skill and tactics reach a point then you stagnate, until one of those factors changes. They could do better and take ships off the list that many don't own, or only a select few do (i would make ALL tier 10 ship rents) as it's puts more casual clans at a disadvantage. Like playing against a football team without any football boots, or much lower quality ones. I mean i can still play football well, but not as good as the chap with actual boots so it's gonna be a up-hill struggle.

This ^^ But it's subjective so that circle will go round and round. I enjoy ranked sprints because they are fun and you don't rely other players not being complete and utter potatoes. Like i said, I enjoyed 1 vs 1 and would love a full ranked at that. We can deal with the CV's ruining the show but when they rank out, it's anyone's. because when you win a 1 vs 1 battle...YOU did it. You was better then the enemy ship and your tactics were superior. There is a sense of achievement. Without a shadow of a doubt, the best games i have ever had in this game since Beta were against the best players and winning 1 vs 1. Old RST CV's were the pinnacle of that when it was you vs the CV's, something long gone now. only old RTS CV players will understand that.

Positive: Really looking forward to British Heavies. Most look somewhat balanced. Negatives: Everything else..

How about bracketing players regarding ranked? Random WR's below 40% 40% - 45% 45% - 50% 50% - 55% 55% - 60% Above 60% So you get placed with your own peers. Then if you lose, it's less a case of having muppets on your team but the enemy actually being that bit BETTER and TACTICALLY better. Randoms is what it is and random. But when you play competitive modes that have rewards then i really do think there should be a system in place. but then again, games like this thrive off frustration. @MrConway much appetite for this? With the amount of players in this game, MM wouldn't be hard to do at all with waiting times quite low. I mean the brackets can be flexible. So it's fair for everyone. I'm not having potatoes on my team throwing games like it's going out of fashion and nor i'm i shooting them like crippled ducks in a barrel on the enemy team and they feeling crap about themselves. Trust me, ALL people will feel better even if they lose. It's a win win from the players point of view. it's not perfect, but it's alot fairer and much better than what you have going on right now. It's not hard to see that many are just giving up on these things with the same old same old.

Ranked is seen as a much much more frustrating experience that randoms. Potatoes, AND THERE ARE MANY are more pronounced in ranked because you have less players, just liked CB's. Winning a ranked games come down to not being on the team with the highest amount of potatoes. It's the luck of the draw.

Lol. But there is a limit and "Arms Race" passes that mark by some distance. I can at a painful push deal with Lights cruisers, DD's owning Heavy cruisers and CV's targeting DD's (lol, Real life, Lol) all of which happens now. but that is a step too far.

Really disliked arms race. It's like playing a cartoon and ffffaaaarrrr to arcade for my tastes Smol's and Klebers. Oh the pain. The one with the better CV player wins. and another tier 10, yay...I've give this one a miss. God that sounds negative but only being honest. Defo doesn't flick my switch. I wouldn't mind a full rank with 1 vs 1.

WOW, didn't expect that one and will eat my own word i think. I automatically assumed like many past examples. Apologises. That blog slipped the net for me.

Cant wait......Totally agree. More DPM HE SPAM!! I wonder why WG are nerfing the Kleber so much? Just like they did with the Alsace before the Borg/ Jean Bart came out. They have done the same tactics to many ships before they release a premium.

But be warned like most ships (well, not much with the Russian ones) but there are weakness. It will get eat alive by HE as it's only 32mm and it's HP is low for a BB. And it's cit will be wreaked if you show too much broadside to certain BB's. But it's AA, Heavy Heavy guns and accurate fire makes up for it's shortfalls IMHO. Play it as a medium range BB and move around. It's not a bow-on tanker in the slightest. You move around the map to locations where your team needs heavy guns. Oh and it's HE is crazy good with massive splash damage.

Do you have a Des or gonna grind the line? If so then don't get the Salem The Yoshino is a huge citadel and ALL the players I see playing it play on the back line and hardly influence the game. I repeat, it has a MASSIVE cit that loves being found. Georgia is a good ship but for little extra coal you can get a tier 10, and the Thunderer hits harder. But the Georgia is fun. If I had only one of those ships....Thunderer mate.

My opinion mate? Love her. She is your snipers sniper but a mobile one. She rewards people that can lead and aim well. I also had reservations about the ship but when you look into those guns, that rate of fire and the sigma and knew it was a ship for me. I think she is a great ship. She can cause MASSIVE damage to anything. but like any ship, you have to enjoy that style of play.

Tier 10 is not crap because of the Smol, it's crap because of the playbase at that level sleepwalking their way up. But like WG has already stated, they don't care about skill + tier. It's all the same to them. The last refuge of decent games are either CB's (against a good team) or clan tournament. Those new players amongst you, tier 10 used to have good players play in it, that went sometime ago now.

She is the very essence of power creep and a relic of days past.. Oh the days of stealth firing.......In WOWS and WOT with anti tank guns..

6.4km concealment WG. Now please can you give me some money for sorting this out for you? Why you employ people to come up with these pointless buffs is beyond me.

I think an "average Joe" can get close to directive 3. I didn't really go too much out my way to get some of the ribbons, like farming bot's with secondaries in the Massa and Alsace. Prob spent about 2 hours all together in Co-op getting the ribbons only because a free ship is never bad, even if it's sits in the port. Everything else i didn't aim for, just by playing I got past directive 3. I play about 1-2 hours a night but i probably earn a lot more base XP and credits then most average Joe's so...

Daring. And that's coming from a captain that loves the Groz. It's because they are the most independent and less support reliant DD there IMHO. They can both torp and both gunboat. They are both great cap defenders which is always overlook but critical. Ships with great concealment HAS TO to a certain extent rely on team work to get the target killed. Pure torp boats rely on enemy mistakes and lack of gunboat DD's (and player skill) and pure gunboats rely on other DD's, radar and/or lack of DD's to do the majority of the damage (harra, Frie). The Daring and Groz are multifunctional and self reliant. But to me, what gives the Daring the edge (Defensive hrdyo aside) is that AP. Hitting DD's with damage they can not heal is priceless and seeing 2,000k coming from cruisers is priceless. Like any ship, it isnt without it's faults but when played to it's strnghts it's a fantastic ship. And i'm relatively new to DD's (only the last year really). DD's win games. Always have. And my greatest moment? Against a full health Smol in the daring using nothing but AP. I won the knife fight just. Funny thing is is that i actually hunted him down in his own smoke with hydro and risked it.

It's a shame we see people buying ships that needs buff straight the way. There is not one ship i have regretted buying in the past and thought needs a "buff". The only one is actually a nerf IMHO and that is when they changed the shells pen on the HOOD AND it's AA because of the rework. It went from being a cruiser killer to BB killer (ish) and it's AA went from a complete no bomber fly zone to doesn't matter AA or not. Both a nerf in my books.

This ^^^ Goes to show the Edit* still haven't got a clue. Language please

How can i put this.... NO.... It fundamentally doesn't change a thing, just makes the users life a tad easier
