I see plenty of BB in the queue and normally have 2 on each team per game. I see plenty of matches with a CV, more than previous seasons. I see plenty of DD... But we don't see many CA, should we not ask why we don't see people on cruisers? My theory is ranked gameplay is too condensed. BBs can easily just delete CAs due to the reduced ranges.

thx for the info Ictogan! I see the Montana just shoots HE, think I will try and do a secondary build with her and compare damage output.

I didn't get to play 0.57 much so am experimenting with builds using the new upgrades in this patch. I have to say that the secondary build in the most Izumo and Yamato is a bit underwhelming. I wonder is it is due to the fact that they seem to shoot AP half the time? Is there decent logic to say when secondary shoots AP? I've never seen a secondary AP citadel... To me that indicates that secondary should only ever shoot HE. Maybe then the damage might improve without making any other changes?

It may just be cos its the PT but the games I had at TX were much more dynamic that normal, people being aggressive trying to target bastions with secondary fire etc. Seems good

THey seem OK. Kind of agree that the balck citadel I somehow prefer the old yellow one...

​Who told you the yubari was some kind of training cruiser? Yubari is OK, not great, not terrible. It should, however, get the main purpose of the ship back. It was sold as a AA platform at low tiers, and that should return. I recently (finally) changed my captain skills in her away from AA and to demolition as she just does not knock planes out the sky anymore.

Over enough games, statistics do not lie actually. everyone is in the same boat with having random teams

The 2.5 capt XP was the best thing about GNB, and well.....

If you agree with this its cos you are a below average player. Everyone loses due to being in bad teams sometimes, but better players actually manage to swing some games in their favour. Having a win rate above 55% and the new top losing player saves star mechanic means you move up fairly quickly. If not, you're just not that good. Sounds elitist but it's ranked.

Its too easy to go pink now. I often have matches with 3 or 4 pink players in my team. I no longer pay any attention to it as none of them are actually griefers, just people who made a mistake. Turning pink should be for persistent offenders so everyone knows to avoid them. And if they still carry on, just suspend them from the game for a few days?

OP has 79% of games in BB. DD counter BB Nuff said - move along. Although I would just suggest that you try playing every class of ship before you bore everyone with your ideas on balance???

It is where I finally learnt a use for the Atlanta

82% games in CA and he wants less DDs to go kill... Your role would be almost redundant. Poor player calling for DDs to be limited. Move along...

I'm thinking about getting this level 5 captain perk for one of my BB captains at tier 6, but I'm put off by the steep drop off for tiers 6 and below. That means that when I come up against a captain from tier 7 or 8 with this skill there will be no contest. Would it be better to have no drop off at all and just have it as a blanket upgrade? There are no other skills that behave in this way. If there has to be a drop off, could it not be more gradual. At the moment you get a 15% buff to accuracy at tier 6, and a 60% accuracy buff at tier 7.

I'm not voting as I don't completely agree with any of the three choices. Warspite's armour may need a look at, as it doesn't feel like a brawler. There is a team in WG re-doing armour on older ships to bring them up to scratch, so I hope that this ship is one of them. If the armour gets a little better I think she is fine.

Not a fan of the series, but if they are identical to the IJN versions, I may sell those and get the credits and just use the ARP versions. In addition, I have two Myokos and about four Kongos, are they all the same too?

You have to remember that this is a 15 point skill, and should have as much impact as concealment expert (which almost everyone gets no matter what tier they play). If the devs want more variety they should revisit this. I'm not going to use a 15 point captain at lower levels and get Manual fire control for secondary armaments for 15% improvement, its crappy. You mentioned the other skill that isn't percentage based, tier based health buff of 400HP per level. Guess what, nobody but top tier DDs will get this skill. If it gave everyone a 15% buff to their starting HP a lot more people might consider it.

I'd like to read that source too. Also, those voting that there needs to be a step down in the effectiveness of this skill at lower ranks, why do you think this? All other skills work on pure percentages, why is this skill different?

I like the system in ranked as it is now, slightly less frustrating than it was before. Good job on this feature WG.

​Sorry mate I don't understand

Saipan is a bit OP with a 15 point captain, that's why.

working on it are you aguir? yes two weekends might just compensate

Best of both worlds, why don't you fix it so we can have tomorrow, then give us another day another weeked?

That's exactly what I didn't them to do.... Nice thx WG - you know I have other games I could start playing instead of this. Less annoying ones. If you could give us a couple of weeks notice before it happens please? I need to make arrangments in order to take advantage. I want o progress my captains more than ships actually.

I've jiggled stuff around to play this weekend. Not to mention that all morning I've been playing with added XP flags to make the most of the event (of which I didn't have that many). Really this is just the final mistake in a whole month long event. I'm really unimpressed...
