Something that literally requires one click and some basic observation skills to defeat? Balancing anything around the lowest possible denominator is a terrible idea. Too bad that this is most likely the way WG will go.

Ah, well, that makes a lot more sense.

But then a USN CV will be ON PAR with an IJN one again! Obviously that cannot be allowed!

Since strafing follows a fixed pattern every time unlike salvos from a surface ship, how about you simply learn to ?

In literally every word you've spouted you have proven that you are incompetent. And now you are freely admitting that you have no idea what you're talking about. A skilled Hakuryu will all over Midway no matter how skilled the opponent is with that nerf because it obliterates all advantages Midway has over her IJN counterpart. Hakuryu already has superior striking and spotting potential, with the nerf she gets superior reserves and air control as well. Are you actually incapable of reading? My record in plane kills in a Midway was secured in a match against an opponent of similar skill as the one found above, aka a total potato. If you want me to replicate the result in a Hakuryu the same conditions should apply. And as they are obtained against someone of far inferior skill level in both Midway and Hakuryu the entire statistic is completely meaningless as a measure of balance. Then again repeating that is the only thing you have left now, isn't it? Sure, keep trying to take the high road in an attempt to ignore every argument we've made that stands against you. "We don't know you?" As if the statements you've made aren't enough proof of your incompetence. Though thank you for providing the stats to back it up.

Huh, I'm intrigued as to what exactly the meaning of this is. Personally I'd guess that it's riding the border for an extended period of time. It'd be funny if camping were a bannable offense now, though. One that'd probably cull player numbers dramatically, but funny nonetheless. Oh, well, back to Haku everyone! What, you can't play Haku effectively or want to stick to Midway? Too bad then, I guess you have no choice but to get stomped by skilled Haku players.

Play the objective?

I honestly think 30 minutes or more in queue is a realistic assessment with a system ala CSGO. I don't want to scare anyone. I do believe a dynamic system is worth testing, but quite frankly I cannot see it working out all too well. With the way the current population is divided skillwise MM would basically always have to grab the "next best thing", which will inherently create conditions that aren't too different from now. And again the situation only worsens when you have to take the divide in potential match influence between different classes and nations into account. Or divisions. Maybe I'm wrong though. That'd be great, as I would much prefer competent teammates but competent enemies over everyone being braindead.

Well, one of the things that isn't listed is that in the JP version you can grope your secretary's... "fuel tanks".

That is an average CV player. Any CV that understands alt attacks alone easily catapults himself into unicum territory due to the fact that the average player is so terrible. Besides, that would imply I have scored my record in plane kills in my Midway against someone who is actually skilled, which I can assure you that he was not. Record in plane kills is a meaningless statistic. Get over it. Says the guy who is too bad to outplay a Midway in a Hakuryu. Clearly the most reliable of statements to make when you've admitted that you're incompetent. You have proven in words that you have no idea about nor even a shred of skill in CV play. You deserve and will probably continue to get farmed by Midways even if the nerf goes through. Meanwhile actually skilled CV players will simply use the Hakuryu to curbstomp Midways again because she'll be absolutely terrible in comparison.

The OP clearly stated he wants to see a "CSGO-esque ranking system", aka a static one which wouldn't work as you've stated yourself. I wasn't even thinking of dynamic skill based MM. On the other hand, if you make a skill based MM system dynamic, would it even be worth it? For example I could easily sit by a couple of minutes in a CV because there isn't another one on my skill level around, making the system match me with someone far inferior which would've happened with normal MM anyway aside from the much longer time I spent in queue. A dynamic system would require that every class has a healthy population across all skill levels, which simply isn't a given in WoWs. And when that isn't given such a system will inevitably expand its search so much that we'll be getting the conditions we have in randoms now, only that higher ranked players will have to spend much more time in queue. You could alleviate that a bit by dropping the in-class requirement but that brings with itself its own share of problems as, for example, a skilled BB isn't nearly as valuable as a skilled DD or CV. And that doesn't even touch upon the differing value of nations within a class itself. Is there even a game out there that uses a dynamic skill based MM system? I can't think of a single one tbh.

Counterstrafing kills enemy fighters that are exit strafing. It's the perfect counter to a Saipan which will always try to abuse its ability to exit strafe for free, hampered only by the UI that may screw things up.

- mate comes online - time for division - he must grind NO, I just pick Enterprise - internet connection quits 10 seconds into the match - router says it's connected, but I cannot connect to the router for whatever reason - spend the next 5 hours trying to find out what the is going on - turns out ISP updated something and now the router loses its every time I plug a cable into the number 4 LAN port (regardless of whether the cable is actually used or not) Literally my greatest achievement today is figuring this out. Hope it at least made for a semi-entertaining story, tho. And if anyone who was on my team happens to venture here, I'm so sorry.

JP version is in the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.YoStarJP.AzurLane It's region locked, though, but if you really want the JP version I can give you the .apk for it. I thoroughly recommend sticking with the CN version however as it has a ton of features that the JP one is missing.

Counterstrafe when he strafes out.

(Assuming alt attacks are enabled across all tiers, as I haven't played low tiers after their removal) T4: Langley, as she wins air superiority by default along with damage potential that blows any ship out of the water in a single strike. T5: Bogue 1/0/1 used to be the ultimate sealclubber. Single torp squad was enough to kill all but BBs in a single strike and fighters could hold their own with proper micro even against AS Bogue. T6: Ryujo and Independence are equal imo. I prefer Independence as the single fighter squad of Ryujo is too weak for my tastes. T7: Hiryu has the best striking potential along with the most balanced setup. Can outfight Saipan if the UI is nice. T8: Shokaku or Enterprise. Both are perfectly viable and have all around balanced characteristics. T9: Taiho easily. Essex has good air control but no striking potential to back it up. T10: Haku possesses far more flexibility, scouting and striking potential which gives her the edge over Midway. On the other hand Midway is easier to play and far more forgiving. I'd say both are fairly equal.

I call dibs on his premium ships!

Had the same couple of weeks ago once. Used task manager to kill, restarted, got into the match for 10 seconds before the UI went full and the game crashed again. Is stronk programink comrade!

Wouldn't work, WoWs doesn't have the player numbers to sustain it. Unless you want to wait like 30 minutes for a match in high rank games.

Don't think it would pose such a big issue with balance. As long as it doesn't reach ranked, CBs or competitive, where such factors obviously aren't desirable, it should be fine. Random battles are random in nature after all. We already have something along the same lines with cyclone. Local weather effects are coming up as well.

Yes, that was the reason why they removed alt attacks from low tier CVs, but the reason as to why they discarded every other idea we delivered is the one I stated before.

I am not proud of what I've done.
