It's going to make cheese divs even more cheesy, though. However I can't help but feel like that Worcester only demonstrates everything that a cruiser should be able to do. She has all the necessary utility (and then some with radar) and she is more than capable of air denial even if it is way excessive when specialized for it. But that's just another problem with the friggin' skills and not really a problem with the ship herself. Because in their infinite wisdom WG decided that you need to specialize to defend yourself against one of the core mechanics of the game. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I demonstrated that the CV population would be fine with a smaller number comparatively speaking due to the fact that there are at most 4 CVs per match (although you would ironically improve distribution by limiting CVs to 2 across the board even in low tiers. It'd even improve balance). If you look at the EU stats of the last two months here: http://maplesyrup.sweet.coocan.jp/wows/ranking/20180421/eu_2month/average_class.html You'll see that low-mid tier CV population is actually pretty okay, hitting the desired ratio in both players and battles played compared to BBs (we can ignore cruisers as you are forced to play cruisers through several tiers, inflating stats). That means you have a very high chance of meeting a CV in low-mid tiers. That's good, thus you could say that the population is "healthy" despite smaller player numbers comparatively speaking. If the ratio is too low, you won't see many CVs (as it is in high tiers), if it is too high then CVs would have excessive queue times. Both are obviously bad and should be avoided, thus CVs should be the least played and most unpopular class, but also not unpopular enough that barely anyone plays them. And for the record, mid-high tier CV population is obviously down the drain. And tbh I highly doubt CVs won't be mirrored nor restricted in numbers with the rework UNLESS they get rid of fighters (as these would then be literally worthless) or neuter them extremely. And if they choose to do that then that just opens up a whole other can of worms.

*insert year of the CV meme here*

Sounds like you actually met some decent players and got outplayed.

Why WG hasn't hired you to do the skins is beyond me. :D

I posted stuff relevant to the arguments Systergummi has previously made. Whether you take them as such is up to you. Though how about you watch a bunch of Armada videos? Pretty much every time a ship with bad AA comes up they tell you to stick with teammates. Heck, the oldest of them all even states that a solo DM should be able to get killed by a CV. Also it's incredibly ironic you're telling someone to stop steering away when doing precisely that. You still haven't come up with a single refute to the points you're attempting to ignore nor named a single game that follows your moronic balancing scheme despite their apparent abundance. Considering that pretty much describes precisely what you did, how about you explain that to yourself? I referenced both North and Haven (and again, it really doesn't matter considering you camped to damage farm on both of them, forfeiting the match in the process), you first insist that you were outcarried by "OP CVs", refuse to acknowledge that you weren't carrying but were a tremendous liability, then when shown a small minimap preview insist that North never happened, hark around for ages on the difference between Haven and North and when finally shown actual gameplay that has your name on it you still believe you were doing great when you actually helped me and my team win the game the moment you entered the match. Then you try to fabricate some lies about me attacking pristine USN BBs when in reality I was attacking a lone Roma with no one but you defending it, losing all my TBs in the process before getting a single torp in the water. Which I'm not complaining about btw. Cruisers are air defense platforms as per their intended role, I simply gambled on you not having DFAA and lost. But hey, if I'm apparently dumb enough to attack several high AA ships + DFAA capability in close proximity to each other then that means I'm not a good CV player and as such an incredibly small factor in the match outcome, no? Aka you and your div got outdone by a bunch of randoms. Either way you've just stated that your playing ability even as a three man stack is sub-par.

And you can clearly judge how much other senseless things he has previously written. And here I thought we're talking about design. Here's a hint: The human factor matters little in game design and balance. Funny how you always try to steer clear from things you cannot refute. Funny, I was talking about North the entire time. Though considering you pulled the same stuff on Haven and tried to camp you way to victory I'd say it doesn't matter at all what match we're talking about.

It's to prevent missions from clashing with the competitive spirit of ranked. Say you gotta deal 100k HP damage to BBs as a DD (Yamamoto campaign, mission 3-1). Wouldn't you be upset about a DD on your team only trying to kill the enemy BBs for the entire match and ignoring everything else?

I'm pretty sure that it only applies to stuff related to procreation, processing of water/food and the like.

Tried the long range ones for a couple of games. Performance is anemic to say the least. I'll try the shotgun gameplay next. Nothing I'm not used to from bathing in the blood of seals playing Clemson and other low tier USN DDs anyway. Thanks for the answers guys!

Well, he does play DDs. He can't make them perform though for some reason despite them being "so overpowered".

Bots tend to stick together. Use this knowledge to your advantage.

It's simple. With the three month ban on sales they won't even have to worry about it since the rework will hopefully be out by then. I have little hope that that'll happen however.

Because torpedoes are easily defeated with the slightest application of WASD.

And here I thought we're talking about population as well as Systergummi's vehement insistence on CV play designed for the masses. It's nice to see you always steering away from things you cannot refute. Though really, if the above point to you isn't obvious then you must really fail to understand game design. Which is hardly surprising considering the sheer incompetence you have demonstrated on the subject. - every successful Dota clone - Counter-Strike series & R6: Siege - Arma series and comparable simulators - practically every successful MMORPG - Battlefield series Just to name a few. While not solely designed around teamplay it makes up an integral part of their design. You know, just like in WoWs. Such niche. Much wow. Meanwhile you still have failed to name a single game in which fundamentally different classes have the same teamplay potential despite stating that apparently every game follows this principle. I dunno, would you believe someone who vehemently insisted that he was carrying when he was a complete liability the moment he entered the match, tried to deny a game ever happened, insists on having talked about something else entirely when shown proof then still refuses to believe he played in a way and blames everything on the enemy CV?

It was in response to someone complaining about losing doubloons for consumables due to auto-resupply. For camos/flags I can borderline understand as it doesn't tell you to the face the cost of the resupply, but for consumables it clearly displays the cost when resupplying AND you can see clearly the price of the consumable while mounting it.

Are you joking?

Hakuryu is now undoubtedly superior to Midway again. The only advantage Midway has now is larger reserves and that won't save her in a battle against a Haku. I also question the decision to make the most micro heavy CV even more micro heavy.

While not exactly unachievable considering the amount of braindead CV players out there, 40 is still way too high. CVs don't even carry 40 planes until T6.

When facing a Conqueror in a Yamato it's often best to just aim for the bow, stern and upper belt areas to make full use of your ability to overmatch.

Just played my first match in 3/3/2 Haku. Oh boy, the micro with 3 fighters is actually getting a bit demanding. Didn't get a single chance to check KanColle nor AzurLane. Personally I like it as you never have a dull moment unlike before. Then again I was up against someone who was actually competent, so maybe it's just that. I have to question the wisdom of increasing the micro requirements of the most micro heavy CV, though.

You do realize ships can, you know, move?

It may feel like it mostly because the average player is abysmal, making you capable of ignoring almost every other ship. Play against a bunch of people who are actually skilled or in a competitive environment however and CV play is anything but 1on1.

...meh, I'd watch an anime like this. WoWs collab is live in AL btw. Quick guide here: Also
