First of all welcome to the game! it's good to have new players that are enjoying the game in the current meta. As a collector and a long time player my 2 cent advice: - premium ships give you more credits, more XP and more free XP. This is the main reason to buy them. - I would advise to buy the "De Grasse" as you say you like the French cruisers. Once you will move up along the tech tree it will be nice to go back to Tier VI and play this ship, wich in my opinion is one of the best in her tier. I would NOT advice you to buy a BB unless you want to go also along that line. Perhaps in the future. My reccomendatio is develop one line at the time. Captain is of Paramount importance for the ship performance and premium ships give you the opportunity to earn exp faster. Last but not least remember you can move your La gallisonnoier captain to De grasse without spending money or XP. Because they belong to the same class. But if you move a cruiser captain to BB then you have to retrain it. Dunkerque is not a bad ship at all. At that tier her gun are quite good. and it's fast enough to reposition when things get messy. But as I said better to focus on one line at the time. Good luck and have fun.

Well said! I feel betryed 2 times. First as this CV was moved up to tier VIII and second because has become the cinderella of all Premium CV. Especially when you are vs tier X to play with her is a real struggle, and certainly never a fun experience.

Talking about Tier IV, a good tips is to initiate the run from 6 km away for TB. Keep in mind you can use throttle to speed the run or to slow donw if you realize you initiated to close to the target. Then it's all baout practice. If you feel u need more training go to training room and set up a training session only for yourself. When u feel prepared do a couple of battles in coop and then you do the big step to random. And don't worry. If your team win you don't get credits but if it lose CV is Always biased for that. So don't be surpised to see your karma below zero. good luck

Hello everyone today I was watching YouTube and I find out the video below. I make this post hoping to reach enough consensus among players in order to ask WG to give DENARMO the CC status. like many players I like his style of making videos and I think it's important to have people like him inside the community, to remind us, that after all this is a game! His ironic style Always give me a good mood togheter with useful information about ships, build, game mechanics etc. please help me to achieve this objective.

No they will probably give 1 more HP per tier to planes. Balance Balans Balllanz Bul@ xxxxx

My dear friend I don't think there is a big bad guy in the company that want to ruin the game. simply WG is a private enterprise and the ultimate goal is to make money. Developers, programmers, engineers need to be paid. They are not doing it for fun (altough I think there are far less entertaining job). that said trust me when I say sometime inside a big company is not that easy to look at thing from the same perspective of the customers/users. that's why they invest money in forum and CCs. It's a way to get the real grasp of what customers (that are thousands ) think. And it's not easy. just as an example: look at the forum on the CV rework and imagine you are the one that have to assess if players like it or not. It's a everyday battle of words and opinions; many in total contrast. On top of that you have to consider that marketing strategies follow different trends according to customer. For example world of Tanks. On the Chinese Server people do not consider "bad" that if you have money you can buy OP tanks. while in europe we don't appreciate it. (at least in theory). Therefore to summarize and going back to NTC, I believe some dude really thought "hey this is a great idea" and if you look at the reactions of WG staff in Ichase video, you see they were really surprised to see such a strong opposition. Last what I believe is a good news especially for those who do not have premium account. If WoWs is going to abolish the difference between normal consumable and premium one I think it's a very nice step forward.

How?

I don't know either BUT it may help to keep him inside the community. And honestly I think he deserve it more than .. Others.

I think he was just sarchastic in his comment?

never said that. but all those who don't plays CV seem (perhas only seem ) to hate CV. While in my opinion CV are a great counterplay to all other classes and your best team mate. What I think the rework has utterly failed at is there is no more the possibility for a CV to sudden strike the enemy CV early in the game like in the old system. Avoiding losses after ALL the changes introduced is a mission impossible. Planes have received nerf to speed bust, to spotting , and to survivability (cause AA has been made deadly now) When you start a flight at the very beginning of a match you alwasy spot enemy only after they have started to gun down your planes. you turn and u get into anther AA bubble. Planes losses have increased a lot especially at high tier. If you want the game to be fun for ALL as you stated you have to give some opportunity also to CV players to redeem a mistake. At least this is my opinion.

I think there are different possible solution without dramatize or going to the extreme. However It will take some time for WG to collect data and assess what to do. Look what happened to Paragon. WG tried to push their idea, but a vast majority of players and CC where against it and WG gave up. With CV the situation is more complicated. Although after rework there are more CV players this are more or less 22% of the playerbase.wich means a MINORITY. That's why you, my dear friend will not be able to win your "word crusade " on this forum. CV haters will Always overcome you. Talking about solution I think a vey easy one would be to limit the MM to +1/-1 for CV assuming AA will never be nerfed again, cause of the reason above. Another one could be to fasten the regen of planes in accordance with tiers. the higher the tier the better the regen rate should be. We will see what happens.

The Whole discussion has been already ended by WG itself when they came out with the re tiering of Giulio Cesare. to summarize: yes WG can do it but this will reflect negatively on their sales, because CUSTOMERS will be less prone to spend money for something that can be changed. And honestly to change the parameters of a ship after selling is not fair. to sell Loot boxes for xmas advertising them as the ONLY opportunity to get a unique ship and then to change that ship is not fair, Belfast is strong? Yes it is. What WG should do is longer test before releasing a ship. and I believe that now they are doing a great job in this. the time of Belfast and Giulo are gone and WG has learned from previous mistake (at least for WoWs because on WoT is another story).

nope. simply people who paid real money for those "toys" don't want them to be trashed. On the other hand nothing prohibit WG from making ranked open only to silver ships.

I feel the same when a Worcester bomb me non stop above an island with its mortars (yes this are not guns but really mortars) and I have no counterplay ! in this regard I like CV as they can force cruiser to move and cannot spend the Whole game behind that magic rock.

Downloaded the PTS. Took me a lot! After this I push the button register and find out… IT'S ONLY IN RUSSIAN!! Then you wonder why so few people play on PTS??? Last update: after I registered I found out that I have to download another 6 GB update and ufter this another 2 GB. So the Whole process is taking me 4 hours. …. I guess because the download from the russian server is going at a very low speed. OMG it's a nightmare. Wish It will be Worth the pain.

I like the idea and I am happy to see that MrConway gave you a in the feedback. Honestly I don't think this is going to happen and I explain you why. I am in the game since 2015 and I have many premium ships. I have at this moment more then 14 million potential FreeXP to convert !! of course I have no reason to do it also because it will cost me a fortune. But if you give me a 10% rate .. oh boy It would be 1.4 Million FXP . it s more then enough to grind a full line up to tier X. Or to buy a Free XP ship like it was with Musashi or Missouri. It would be extremely generous from WG.

nice idea!

want long term customer to stay loyal? 1. Give players who unlock Tier X the ability to use THAT captain on ANY of the same line ships WITHOUT having to spend dobloons or XP to RETRAIN … So for example I could use my Yamato Captain to play on Fuso without losing anything, It would be a nice reward for completing the grind and a purpose to finish it. 2. ability to customize your ship. start mission or contest where you can grind specific modules (bigger range, lower reload etc) None of this should be huge to avoid the ship to become too strong. Alternatively modules that can give you different playstile. Example : Kahaba with smoke or with heal? You could do the same for other ships for example imagine a shima with 1 less torpedo launcher but with 1 more gun. Or with an hydro ? 3. I play since 2015 but due to my personal commitments I am not Always available to play ranked or clan. Give me some mission (like legendary modules or a campaign ) to have the opportunity to collect steel specifically designated for Tier X ships. 4. avoid sudden changes to the game mechanic without having tested them properly. 085 is a clear example of this.

WG_Lumberjack Do you think (or know) if WG is going to fix at least some of the CVs that were more damaged by 085 ? I think they should somehow compensate or rebalance the Saipan, wich I believe has become the of all CVs . This in particular do to its low number of planes, combined with the wonderful idea to push it to tier VIII so you will Always face Tier X cruiser and their extremely powerful AA. Now I will wait a month to see if anything change BUT after that for the first time since 2015 I will ask WG to refund me for the price I paid for the ship. Hope to hear some (not much) good news. cheers

This kind of comments leave me speechless. Seriously? Do you want a simulator ? Lets start giving DD the real amount of torps a DD was carrying instead of infinite recharge. Let's give them the real reload time of a 6 meter torp. Do you think they could do it with the ships traveling full speed? so please stop m,aking this …. crappy example. Game need balance? Yes. But 085 is NOT balanced at ALL.

hey WG we have another satisfied customer

Played several games today in CV from tier IV to X. What I observed is at Tier IV AA is really not a big problem unless you yolo a group of 3 or more ships. So 085 has given low tier very few advantage. At middle Tier the situation is different. If Tier VI Cv is top tier the game is still playable. CV lose more planes but can work decently. Tried 2 games in Furios and 2 in Rjuyo, damage around 60K but never got left out of planes. Instead when you are bottom tier the difficulty start to increase a lot. Especially with JAP that have low health planes. At Tier VII I had a game as top tier and that was OK. Still more plane lost but capable of doing damage. The second one I was bottom tier vs tier X and that was a nightmare. Surprisingly at Tier X the situation is just like beeing bottom tier. Perhaps I was a bit unlucky cause enemy team had Always very strong AA cruisers and BBs. But really IMO at tier X something should be done. In the other game I had fun both when I won and when I lost, But at Tier X you spend half or more of the game spotting and waiting for the right moment. And that's not fun. If a have to be a spotter I don't need a CV. Better use an hot air baloon.

Guess I made the wrong example. sorry must be the summer heat.

Well honestly this is another very "WG" thing. For several cruisers (like Mino, Worcester etc) and all DDs to spend 4 points in AFT means to achieve 2 good skills at the cost of 1. Because as u know not only they get their main battery +20% range but also their AA system. This is something that should be really changed. Either you spend 4 points to increase your main guns or your AA guns not both.
