  1. Welp, they better offer a server transfer or I'm not switching. Too much time and effort invested into my current account.

    Actuation time for consumables

    Honestly I wouldn't mind seeing a 1,5 second delay to punish cruisers that pop DFAA instantly harder. 8-10 seconds tho? Hell no.
  3. Pfff, who cares about DDs? We clearly need radar on CVs to make them popular again!
  4. That can be said about any kind of nerf and has been the justification for why BBs get cruiser consumables. And regardless of how much BBs get buffed, they will still camp. If anything the situation now is worse than it was before. Quite frankly we should stop caring about whether a nerf to BBs will make them camp harder, because they will always camp if given the ability to. Also a maneuverability nerf doesn't automatically mean giving BBs CV levels of rudder shift and turning circle. Just a slight adjustment downwards would probably be more than enough. Then again WG isn't exactly known for subtlety when it comes to balancing stuff.

    1 CV 3 BBs 3 DDs rest cruisers is in my eyes the optimal combination.

    Dude. Have you not been playing for the past 2 years or sth?

  8. I'll accept it with dignity. Still won't give you a nomination for a Skybuck tho.
  9. The point was presenting a way to make BBs more vulnerable to DDs. A maneuverability nerf would most likely achieve that. Ofc this is only one way this can be achieved. We could e.g. also make torps do full direct HP damage on a bow/stern hit instead of letting it get cut in half due to damage saturation mechanics. Or reduce torp belt effectiveness. Or, as you've already listed, take away cruiser consumables.
  10. No it isn't. The only way you can get more than 2-3 torp hits is if you throw an incredibly dense torp spread, which in turn is easily defeated by your target doing any small course correction, or if your target is a potato. Even when caught full broadside you will struggle to do meaningful damage if you've fired a normal spread from a normal distance, especially considering BBs always get a good HP trade (bow/stern hit? Torp damage gets cut in half. Belt hit? TDS damage reduction applies). You will rarely lose more than a third of your HP (if even that) and that's not even counting heal.
  11. Ah, yeah, now I remember. I believe that was in the CBT to OBT patch. Aka more than 2 years ago. Which didn't matter anyway because it got buffed again afterwards. They have poor maneuverability only in comparison to other classes barring CVs. Such "poor" manueverability is still enough to dodge torps at close range or mitigate damage against torps to pitiful levels even when caught in a spread full broadside. A maneuverability nerf would address that.
  12. Last time nerfed more than 2 years ago. After it got buffed. (or was it before? Don't remember) "OMG MY STRONK BB ALWAYS TARGET OF NERFS WAAH WAAH YOU CAN'T NERF BB!!!"
  13. - BB maneuverability nerf - take away hydro/radar from BBs - reduce torp belt effectiveness are some of the areas I would start.
  14. Nah, next collab will be about ponies. That'll surely increase interest in the game. Source:

    aa-builds are completly useless

    A friend of mine actually does this. Personally I only use my Hiei as she came with a high level captain. :)
  16. Oh, no. An AA destroyer is unpopular in a meta it helped to create by murdering CVs. Who would've thought?
  17. Actually a pretty good change imo.
  18. I mean, why can't the average player understand that to dodge torps you need to use WASD? While it is a bad reason to not change radar/hydro to rely on line of sight, the statement by itself is actually true.
  19. DD plating change sounds so idiotic it will go through to the live client for sure. Just like every other idiotic change we previously opposed.

    aa-builds are completly useless

    No need to go full AA. I just run BFT + AFT on mine and she regularly murders same tier squads with minimal damage taken. I could slap on AA range and MAA for the lulz but it really isn't needed.

    I'm sorry, are we supposed to be impressed by anything? - T6 matches across the board - only 8 cruisers out of 36 enemies total - only a single one uses DFAA (which is also the only time a strike actually failed) - opposing CVs are thoroughly incompetent (but so are the GZs for the most part) - enemy teams as a whole are hilariously incompetent I mean, isn't this what all those BBabies wanted? "NO MOAR HE SPAM, PLS NERF CRUISERS!" and the like? Well, their whining sure paid off, didn't it? They got their wish, now they have to live with the consequences.
  22. Has already been discussed, the official answer is no. Reason? It would make the game too complicated for the average player. I'm not even joking, that is what the official statement said.

    I thought we're talking about DDs. Dude. The I have seen. You would not believe. (Three Khaba div, all full stealth spec trying to be torpboat.)
