My fellow weebs. I am having trouble resisting. Please provide moral support. Or money. -
Global CBs incoming (Forgot to take picture, will try to tomorrow) More RN DDs to come (WG had no problems choosing for tech tree as there so many. [Personal speculation] Maybe alt branch? WoWs anniversary will have own currency. Earned via special containers. Can buy Dasha captain or space captains/camos with it. Super containers as reward for completing collections. Pan EU flag not final btw. Poland, Netherlands, Austria-Hungary confirmed. No greeks. Blyska moved to Pan EU.

Live from gamescom (hey @MrConway, guess who I am :D): Pan-EU tree and something from Austria-Hungary New Halloween event

Don't ask questions like these. Down that path lies madness and depression. Over the years WG has shown no interest in seriously educating the playerbase. Thus you should do it like me. Take matters into your own hands. Play classes that they hate (in my case CVs), get really good at it and annihilate them at every turn. Even if they win, make sure they do so with no satisfaction and/or rewards gained. Ruin their virtual lives. Go for trash talk. Make it known that you enjoy their delicious, delicious tears. Resolve to make the game experience as miserable as possible for potatoes.

- weakest air control and spotting (ahead of only Lex) - strongest striking capability GZ is hilariously worthless if your own CV is competent. Other than that only a full AA build, playing an AA cruiser with DFAA equipped or RNGesus may save you. It's the ultimate CV for noobs, the result of too many people whining about the skill gap and such. Well here you have it, a CV that even the most braindead potato can excel at. This is what you wanted.
-
I have a 19 point captain on all the CVs that I actively play.. Git gud peasant. On a more serious note, been playing CVs as normal for the past few weeks. What happens, happens. Nothing we can do to stop it. If the rework turns out to be , at least I've enjoyed myself so far. If it doesn't, I'll keep enjoying myself.
-
Honestly the very idea that you have to pick a plethora of captain skills and upgrades to be effective against CVs, even if you're playing a supposed counter, is hilarious at best. Imagine if you could prevent yourself from getting overmatched by BBs and/or make your citadel practically impossible to hit via an investment of 11 captain points and a few upgrades. That's AA skills/upgrades in a nutshell. As for DFAA and hydro, I'd argue that either hydro should be removed from all but RN CLs (and maybe KM cruisers) or both consumables should be weakened but given to every cruiser except RN CLs. Forcing cruiser players to pick will always result in lopsided situations one way or another.

I guess we should all oppose the CV rework then because CVs are already in the game? -
The BBs that suffer from USN AP bombs are few and far in between. As it stands they are primarily an anti-cruiser weapon. Which according to an official WG Q&A is "fine".

Meh, just cleared it with 1 CVL, 2 CA, 1 CL and 2 DD. Still got off routed to D a bunch before that. Maybe RNGesus just hates me. :D -
Honestly I found all RTS games on consoles that I tried to be rather awkward to say the least (including those you've named). The only one I remotely liked was Halo Wars and that was exclusively designed for it. Whether something works or not is also a matter of commercial success. Afaik neither RA nor Kane's Wrath shipped too many copies on consoles. Nowadays even on PC the action RTS genre is struggling, demand for it on consoles is pretty much non-existent. Even if you were to release RTS style CV play on consoles, the player numbers would be even lower than on the PC.

Stuck on World 2-2. Always get off routed. T_T It's nice that we are able to earn medals twice this month tho (if you've already farmed them before the HTML-5 implementation). -

Oi, don't start giving them any ideas. -
As clearly demonstrated by e.g. every MMORPG out there being a failure. OH WAIT. If you know nothing about game design, perhaps you shouldn't comment on it.
-
I'll keep that in mind the next time I get locked out of a match by only two enemy AA cruisers projecting their 15km+ bubble of top kek no fly zone in which I will lose squads within seconds even without DFAA. As for your CV experience, I wouldn't exactly call it extensive when you haven't even reached high tiers yet where all the AA ships proliferate. T4-7 CVs often have free target choice as serious AA opposition is rare to say the least. Which is another problem with CV play. The consistency and progression simply doesn't add up. Both AA and aircraft make crazy power jumps on some tiers while remaining almost stagnant or even deteriorate on others, naturally leading to lopsided results.
-
Ofc they can, although the reasons as to why they can is often not even of their own making. - CVs are rare, so a lot of players use DFAA or any AA skills (tho the fact that you need to specialize against one of the core classes in itself is hilarious at best) - BB overpopulation is driving cruisers, the class best equipped to deal with CVs, to the ground (e.g. when the USN CL line was initially released and flooded the servers my average damage in CVs fell to a mind-blowingly bad 50k for a few days) - the average player is simply catastrophically stupid. Some of them don't even realize what consumables they have at their disposal (no, this is not a joke) Just to name a few. I mean, the fact that I can regularly take caps in my CVs really says everything that needs to be said. @Saiyko can probably write entire books about how greedy I am about it or how successful I tend to be. On topic, no, AP bombs are not overpowered. They have very specific weaknesses to balance out their strengths. They need to oneshot some ships because otherwise they'd be completely useless. As such AP bombs are broken. Something being "overpowered" implies that it can be fixed.
-
Any one ship being completely useless has tremendous influence on the outcome of the battle even if it isn't immediately felt. The thing with CVs is that you always see them performing when the opposing one isn't while for example you can't immediately see the freedom a DD gets when the opposing one suicides or is otherwise worthless even when it is often game deciding. Thus creating the misconception that CVs are the biggest factor in default losses. They're not. In fact with other classes you can lose the game by default before the match even begins by having only the most worthless ships (*cough* Shimas *cough*) on your team. The rework is needed to conform CVs to consoles. WG has pretty much confirmed that. And no, WG doesn't particularly care about our feedback as proven time and time again. MrConway and the like are community managers sitting in an entirely different office. They can only pass our suggestions on, whether the actual devs care about it is another story.
-
My list only concerns USN AP DBs as described in the thread. GZ AP bombs can citadel almost every cruiser and BB in her MM spread due to a far more sensitive fuse and better penetration.

That's easy. On a more serious note, KC, AL and GF can be played pretty much exclusively in the background so they don't really interfere much while I'm doing something else. It's only during events that I forgo that and "actively" play. EDIT: Welp, looks like they reset our World progress. I guess it's time to actively play. -
AP bombs were made to T7-8 KM BBs because they're too popular. So by playing a Tirpitz you're part of the problem. And because WG hates cruisers even more they made them cruisers even harder. Against almost everything else AP bombs are pretty much worthless. If you want a list of ships vulnerable to AP bombs, here you go:
-
Added Roma to the partial vulnerability pool as I recently got some citadel hits on one. No idea whether she actually belongs in the high vulnerability category or not due to a lack of experience. Tbh I almost forgot that ship even exists.

Oh my. OH MY. I you not, it's an English UI! Also new KC seems to use a ton of resources. Then again my laptop is pretty potato and still running Win 7 (it is recommended by devs to use at least Win 8), along with my connection being extremely shoddy so maybe it's just on my end. -
Nah, keep her. Maybe you'll get a refund.
