And why, pray tell, would you need to? No one cares about why someone performs as bad as he does. All that matters is that he's performing bad. No other information needs to be gained.

Newsflash: While it wins matches going after DDs first and foremost doesn't tend to give the best average damage. In fact funnily enough that's the sole reason why my average is so low compared to some of the others. I often win matches so fast I don't get the time to damage farm. And I fail to see how my average damage has anything to do with your inability to hit maneuvering targets.

Maybe git gud then.

Yeah, it's not like I just flew into the AA of 6 ships earlier and still survived for dozens of seconds lol. Again, if he had turned the correct way I wouldn't have dropped close. That's still at least two hits. Every subsequent cross drop is going to be right on target whether he maneuvers or not. So in reality I'll miss 1 torp at best. Telling me I'll only get 2-3 torp hits lol. What a joke.

2 citadel hits worth of damage every 1:30 min against which there is no counterplay doesn't strike you as a bit too high? Implying I'd be dumb enough to not simply readjust and crossdrop anyway. The outcome of the situation lies entirely in my hands. Conq has nothing to say in it.

Nah, Midway TBs have atrocious handling and are for the most part completely useless. Even hitting 2 torps on BBs becomes a challenge if said BB is moving and dodging. A typical Midway game consists of me using TBs exactly 0 times. Now, Enterprise TBs on the other hand..... #balans Why stop there? Imo air radar would be a perfectly fine and balans consumable to have.

200% agreed.

I mean, even when I get an answer it's apparently working as intended, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ *cough* invis AA *cough*

- implying Mino, Balti, etc. aren't good targets.

Like you?

So, AL 2.0 is live on CN. It has a 60 fps setting. Feels very PC gaming master race. I approve. Generally speaking I very much like the new UI. There seem to be some minor responsiveness issues (sometimes when I click something it doesn't seem to register) and I have to readjust my keyboard settings but otherwise I can say nothing but great things about it. Meanwhile in KC; maintenance has been heavily delayed. Here's an interview with the salt king Tanaka tho: http://en.kancollewiki.net/wiki/Kensuke_Tanaka_Interview:_Famitsu_Weekly_May_23rd,_2019 Few interesting things in it, but most of it we already know.

Funny thing about that, all my experience points towards flak using current speed. Because when you slow down from boost speed to base speed flak will usually miss you by default.

Although you should hold the thought on the "always same time" part. Apparently WG is telling me that there is some kind of chance that flak can spawn right on top of me despite S_O's official post saying otherwise. Which can mean multiple things, none of them are particularly good. See here: https://forum.worldofwarships.eu/topic/118328-psa-invisible-flak/

I only use the MM monitor. it gives me a decent idea of what to expect in a match and which targets I should pursue first. On the downside I now have chronic depression from seeing so many potatoes running around with unbelievably abysmal stats.

Yes, they will surely start believing you if you keep posting the same irrelevant stats despite people having explained to you multiple times why they're not representative of anything. It will make you look very intelligent, too. /s

How is that not a lie? You just told me flak spawned right on top of me. According to the explanation given by S_O that is not possible? The "mostly" you refer to is that flak is mostly concentrated in the "A" zone, not the distance between flak burst and plane. In fact the picture above contradicts you entirely. I'm well aware how to dodge and misdirect flak. The visual indicators all told me that the course I've taken is safe and my previous game knowledge, including the official post linked above, pointed towards that it shouldn't be possible for flak to spawn right on top of my aircraft. And now I'm told by you that the official post is wrong. Who exactly am I supposed to believe here?

So you are telling me that this: https://forum.worldofwarships.eu/topic/112949-new-aa-mechanics-explained/ is a lie then? Really?

Honestly I usually just attack once then accel bail when I see DFAA activated. Or if I know base AA is weak I just attack and barely lose anything regardless. So basically my point about DFAA being way weaker than before still stands, as such investing into it doesn't seem particularly viable. The most effective AA tool isn't DFAA anymore, it's the catapult fighter. You can guess which class this change benefits most.

Just because she is popular doesn't mean she is effective. In fact she is the prime example of it. She has a niche in CBs, true. Which will likely get destroyed via introduction of CVs however.

- implying Shima isn't already obsolete

It never was useful in the first place. In the RTS iteration a longer DFAA duration would actually hurt you by lengthening your cd. Now DFAA will usually run out regardless of module before the CV returns again. And that's in addition to DFAA being heavily nerfed compared to previously.

Ah yes, WG and their (in-)famous Gamescom release deadlines. I see no incoming issues whatsoever. Really though, my problem isn't necessarily their strength but that they basically add more BBs to a match in cruiser slots. Aside from the money making aspect I see little reason why at least some of these can't be added as mid-high tier BBs. Then again the money making aspect seems to overrule everything nowadays.

Let me guess, you're German? On a more serious note, if you haven't noticed WG is going full on super cruisers lately. And while I suppose that is to be expected considering what this playerbase likes to play, it doesn't make it any less ed especially considering the current state of the game. Then again I suppose I shouldn't care and just be happy I get another pseudo-BB for my waifu to farm.

Because clearly we need ANOTHER "super cruiser". It's not like we already have half a dozen or so.
