Bwahahahahaha Even Langley can straight up same tier DDs depending on RNG. Ranger and up are guaranteed to kill them pretty much instantly. This is why USN CVs are vastly superior to IJN ones. You don't need two anti capital ship weapons.

1. Whatever is suited for the specific target you've picked out. Rockets are effective against everything with 32mm armor or less, DBs are great against everything, torps only against big and sluggish ships. 2. That's simple. The answer is never. You use fighters to cheese other fighters so you can go to your target unhindered. This makes fighters, and in extension any attempt to protect your teammates, completely useless. 3. This is a trick question really, because unless you up or have horrendously bad RNG the DD will either be dead or so close to death that you can finish him off with rockets 15-30 seconds later. There is no choice in the rework. Only the illusion of it. Precisely, they were programmed to GO FORWARD and, for the most part, keep moving which already makes them a more difficult target than most human players. Now imagine if almost everyone is camping islands, bow camping, reversing or sailing in a straight line even when under attack. That makes the live server a far more target rich environment than a match against bots can ever be.

Finally got my first YASEN plane. And now I'm all out of screws since I've been on an improvement spree recently. T_T

Meh, I'm looking forward to the rework. If only to see whether I can actually kill the entire enemy surface fleet instead of "only" 3/4ths of it when there aren't filthy bots around that ruin my fun by ending the game too early.

By the way, the technical implementation of the CV rework is also something to be concerned about. So far every test iteration has had its problems with later test iterations getting progressively worse. From minor sound/gameplay bugs such as the UI not displaying the correct targeting parameters over severe memory leak issues reminiscent of those we've experienced early this year to spawning planes actually causing crashes (no joke), we've had about every technical failure there is. From the end of November when the last test iteration finished to a release in late January or early February, is this really enough time to hunt down and fix all these issues in addition to any new ones created when implementing new features? I highly doubt it. Honestly I'd be very surprised if the CV rework doesn't come with at least one major technical problem.

Gneis wrecking a GC? In what dream world are you living in? GC is the best T7 BB by far.

In WoWs it's a simple stack of fixed calculations. The only thing that is RNG is bouncing at certain angles.

Lunar New Year 2019 is February 5th. Oh boy. Also inb4 they need another 6-12 months to gather data before they even consider adjusting anything.

Gneis/Scharn and Bismarck/Tirpitz are actually the only KM BBs that can reliably get oneshot by USN AP bombs. Bayern can take a citadel once in a blue moon, FdG needs bombs to land on one specific area to score citadels and GK is completely immune.

I actually found it much easier to kill DDs in the rework. You only need like, what, 3-5 bomb hits total depending on tier which is pretty easy to achieve. And if you fail to score a kill you can always return 15 seconds later with topkek gottagofast fighters to finish the job. In the current iteration you need to cross drop with TBs which can be rather finicky if the UI says no or pray to RNGesus with high tier USN HE DBs. If you happen to fail you're gonna need to wait 3-4 minutes before you can try again.

Except when applied to any other class it is apparently an acceptable argument. When someone e.g. complains about cruisers being op people often tell said person to go play cruisers themselves to see how "op" they are.

Most CVs already deal roughly equal or less damage than BBs.

You might want to recheck that certification you were talking about. Also fun is subjective. Personally I have plenty of fun shooting down aircraft in my AA ships. You don't even need to do anything, aircraft have to come to you only to get deleted by a single press of a button. It's the most basic fun you can have. Sorry. *Being too weak in a historical context.

Ironically that guy was a BBaby supporting your arguments about BBs being too weak. I guess you have Asperger syndrome after all? That is because such a discussion is completely unnecessary in any PvP game. You derive enjoyment from participating which inevitably ruins the experience for someone else. As such game mechanics have to be enjoyable to use, not to be the target of. That's all there is to it. E.g. I'm sure that the people burning down the OP had a fun experience while doing so. This is important. That the OP doesn't feel enjoyment on the other hand is completely irrelevant.

And, pray tell, how exactly can you determine that when you have mental health issues? In fact, how can you determine that other people have Asperger syndrome when you yourself are not of sound mind?

UI in general.

I mean, technically speaking we already have that since ships have been supersized to facilitate accuracy. Just saying.

Pinging doesn't get muted when chatbanned either, so I fail to see how this is relevant. Regardless of how well it works, the system is obviously open to abuse and completely unnecessary in light of the other options. Particularly toxic individuals can still be reported to support which also ensured that no one gets wrongfully convicted. Also reporting for afk does nothing. In fact, reporting for misbehavior in chat is the only reporting function that actually has something working behind it. Everything else is placebo as WG had stated.

As much as I don't particularly care about it, generally speaking there is no need for this system. The mute function exists after all.

Winter event begins December 26th. Also some incredibly important info:

Sometimes? "Hey, can you guys improve the UI please?" "DA COMRADE! HERE IS UI IMPROVEMENT!" "Uh, wat? This is literally even more buggy and-" "OFF TO GULAG YOU GO! UI IS GOOD NOW!" "NEW PREMIUM CVS COMRADES!" "Wait, all you've done is creating an even more buggy UI and swapping a few buttons around. How can this possibly be sufficient to release new prem-" "SILENCE! CHANGES WE MADE ARE PERFECT! GO STRAIGHT TO GULAG!" "Uhm, about strafing out. The general idea is dubious already but that the Saipan can do it without losing planes is really, really bad." "NO. IS GUD THIS WAY COMRADE. GULAG TIME!" "Oi, you guys do realize removing manual drop from low tier CVs will only widen the skill gap even further and turn off more people from playing this class, right?" "HAHAHA NO. YOU ARE TOO EXPERIENCED TO JUDGE (that's literally what they stated btw). GO TO GULAG!" "AP bombs are horrible for the game. Please don't implement them for tech tree CVs." "LIES! AP BOMBS PERFECTLY BALANS! GULAG FOR YOU!" "Hey, about ways to balance the GZ, we have some ideas-" "WE WILL NOT LISTEN. AVERAGE POTATO WANTS CLICKING SIMULATOR, WE SHALL GIVE THEM CLICKING SIMULATOR! TO YOU WE ONLY GIVE GULAG!"

I'm rather certain that this very speshul individual does not want to git gud.

Which was as far as I can tell the main complaint about skill based MM in Armored Warfare (note that I haven't played the game myself and thus can only repeat what others have said). You were essentially being punished for winning/being skilled at the game. I'm doubtful that this is really going to lead to a better game experience. In my personal opinion I believe the main problem is the lack of a persistent solo competitive gamemode, meaning that we take random battles as one when it really isn't. Ranked is there ofc but ranked is also neither persistent nor is it really competitive in nature since even the worst players can technically speaking grind their way to rank 1. Then you have CBs and WoWs competitive tournaments which too naturally excludes solo players. Ranked is a race, CBs and competitive are team affairs while random battles is a casual gamemode (meaning balancing players according to their skill can be neglected). There is nothing in WoWs that speaks to the competitive individual and considering this is supposed to be a team game it is kinda understandable, but unfortunate.

WoWs is a server sided game, which means there inevitably is a delay in what the server processes and what you see. In this case the game ended when your scores where equal on the server, but you saw your score tick higher after the game had already ended due to the delay.
