I agree. I think it should stay this way. But we should also implement equal matchmaking for battleships, cruisers and destroyers too. This way they will also have to wait if there is no one equal tiered in queue. Why not? Most high tier carrier players are pretty bad and you can win. I mean my latest video is Hakuryuu vs air superiority Midway and he did almost nothing with that. I'm pretty sure I would've still stomped him if I were a Taihou or even a Shoukaku. Tiers matter mostly in terms of plane speed and when you are an idiot and play fighters. Like you guys keep saying how it wasn't even a competition and all that crap but even with mirrored matchmaking it often isn't even a competition.

Video of what I mean: Hey, I played a few matches in my Mogami and she's absolutely horrible. The guns deal no damage to any battleships. I had volleys where I got 9 hits on target that ended up dealing 858 damage. Volleys where I got 7 hits on target and did 0 damage, even though I caused a fire. Hitting a Montana, Yamato, Tirpitz or North Carolina all ended up giving me almost no damage done with HE. I do essentially the same amount of damage firing AP at those same targets. If I get a direct hit on the super structure I deal SOME tiny amount of damage but that's about it. I tried it multiple times today and it's just unbelievable. I think the Mogami does and did need some nerfs, but right now she's horrible with 155mm guns. They seem completely unusable. And if you can't use 155mm guns on the Mogami you're stuck with 203mm guns, which have 33% less rate of fire AND 33% less shells. They also have 20% less range because you can't take advantage of the commander skill and 10% less rate of fire even on top of that. This means your damage output is like 35-40% of the 155mm guns. Not to mention that with 203mm guns the Atago beats the Mogami in almost every aspect AND she has a heal on top of all that. Atago's guns turn faster, she has more HP, she has the heal ability, she has better torpedo arcs etc. And all you lose is a TINY bit of damage. If this is what you're going to nerf the Mogami with then I would much rather take the Advanced Firing Training nerf on the Mogami, because then you could at least deal damage once you got close, but now you can't do anything. If you see a battleship you need to run away because you just can't damage them.

I met you too!

New dive bombers is like the only thing in this latest patch I really really like.

If he really wants I can pull the stats card for him.

Video of what I was talking about: This is not a fluke game. Most games are like this after the patch with the Mogami. You will get similar results with Clevelands going up against battleships as well. Murmansk and Marblehead also posted similar results against tier 6 BBs. Oddly enough AP does more damage with those low caliber guns against BBs than HE now. Also, this is not an issue that has been going on for a while. Before the patch this behavior was nowhere near the level of the ridiculousness that we get from the HE. If you wish to continue your conversation about 155mm vs 203mm then make your own thread or PM me and I'll argue. But if you honestly believe that 203mm guns are the superior choice on the Mogami then I feel like it's kind of pointless to even talk about it since that's just not the case. You have to severely misunderstand how the game works or think about some very specific situations where 203mm guns would be the superior choice.

How can you consider that a "+"? Isn't that like saying "Oh, an advantage of the Pepsicola is that she has so little armor you'll die really quickly and then can go into another match with another ship"?

Shh, he doesn't understand that there are so few CV players out there. In his mind CVs are so OP there's a million of them. The reason why CVs are "so powerful", in his eyes, is that all the masses that play CVs didn't like them being nerfed.

CVs are so OP people got bored of playing them, duh.

Yes, been saying this for a long time. This would stop the carrier snipes that always happen at the start. Right now with the way fighters can "taunt" each other you don't have anything to defend yourself with. Defensive fire would help them immensely.

Well the damage difference is against armored targets. You hit a fair bit of other targets in this match. Please look at my overall stats after release and then look at my CBT stats. Then look at yours and read the thread again. We're talking about the changes in the latest patch.

Cleveland 152mm HE against Fusous did no damage as well. 110 hits on target and only 19k damage.

I don't know if you have trouble understanding English or are just messing with people, but I clearly stated it has to do with the patch. Frankly, I do not care about input that shows that you did NOT try playing the ships vs battleships.The same goes for a large portion of the replies in the thread: they are literally meaningless, because they aren't talking about the topic I have in mind. If you actually tried playing the Mogami with 155mm after 5.1 patch hit AND you still don't see the difference then I'm sorry, but I don't think you're really qualified to talk about the game. There is a gigantic difference from the performance of those guns vs battleships since the latest patch vs the day before it. I mean huge. I want to know what others feel and think about it who ACTUALLY PLAYED THE SHIP AFTER THE PATCH. This talk about 155mm vs 203mm guns is complete BS. There is absolutely no competition, numbers wise, that you would ever pick the 203s. Also, I'm not interested in the best way to play the Mogami now, because currently she is inferior to an Atago in essentially every way if you have to play with 203s. I want to know why the 155mm guns are so absolutely useless at hitting battleships right now and what the hell happened to cause this, cause the guns seem WORSE than DD guns against battleships right now.

I'm talkin gabout YESTERDAY. Not some kind of change weeks or months ago. I'm talking about the patch that JUST HIT.

She did though. HE deals almost no damage to battleships. Go try it and let me know how well it works out for you.

Didn't play the Midway at all today because I don't have this skill and thus can't take advantage of the stock fighters. I did use it on the Hakuryuu and his fighters and other planes got absolutely swept out of the game.

Yes, 2 squadrons of torpedo bombers please. Remove the dive bombers. Then just give that ship to Papedipupi and he'll play it all day long exclusively.

Midway - Don't Attack a Carrier If You Don't Finish Them Off:

>No, it's funny to let teammates die and "profit" from their hard work. Especially if it's somebody from my division like Tucandeira or Strangers123. Otherwise it's not funny and is pointless.

Aggressive Tirpitz - 166k damage:

Step 1: be salty. Step 2: get mad. Step 3: blame Wargaming. Step 4: ragequit game and stream. (Of course the match has to end for that. I ain't leaving my team hanging even if we're losing really really badly. Not because I fear bad publicity but I would feel very bad if I did that to my team.)

I'm very sorry guys. I think this thread might be my fault. Ariroon's a cool name though.

Atago's Last Stand - Double Strike:

I don't know this. But then again I kinda know how the game works too.

Thanks. Maybe. I don't know though. The Salem Witch - 9 ships vs 15 ships: The Phantom Fortress vs The Phantom Fortress:
