The levels of hysteria are a bit like the game destroying RPF. While I wasn't and still am not in favour of it, it hasn't destroyed the game. Having played a few games in tier 5-7 bracket tonight, it is a totally new game. Not because of the spotting mechanic, but because of the range changes and the fact that there is quite a few CVs. I have personally enjoyed the games I have played tonight. DDs are not useless.... Play and test more, theorycraft and doomsay a bit less.

It is the condensed cap points. Why do we go from 3 or 4 points to 2? It would be fine to have the usual domination map setup but with 7 ships. This would stop seeing the same ships dominate ranked all the time and make the games more varied less campy. I see no reason not to have 3 cap points...

I watch you tube vids of really good players who give great tips. Aeroon, Flamu, Notser mostly.

Hmm, it seems that two cap is popular. Maybe they just need to mix it up a bit, have some maps with 3 caps, more spread out. As it is, the same tactics/ships works on every map. I think I'm just tired of seeing german BBs and RN CAs all the time. Some variety would solve this I hope.

It doesn't have to be the same as random, but why not 3 points? Many of the maps are not thought through properly for condensed rank matches and radar. mtm78 I checked you stats for ranked this year but it says you haven't played any. Is that right? Point of reference?

I refute any claim that condensing the cap points means it is more tactical. In any case, I think they condensed them too much. On some maps they are almost touching. That leads to an impoverished meta, with the same old tactics/ships every [edited]match.

Do you mean 0.6.2.1 or is this mod pack already out of date?

I get a virus blocked warning when I tried to download from eu mirror 1...

Insert some player skill stats into the MM (however light they are).

If CVs bother you try speccing your ships with good AA and maybe staying near ships with good AA for protection. You know, actually think for yourself instead of crying. OP has 18 battles in the Langley as his point of reference on the subject... Please spare us your wisdom in future.

better to have 4 to 5 BBs every game - oh wait....

some love for CVs please WG

Short answer - practice and some ability to think/click

the incentive to be tier 10 is to always be top tier in the best ship, the tier is fine now and needs no more changes

The purchases started failing for anyone?

Just got imperator nickolai and a 10 point captain for £4!!!! Then opened a super container with 250 flags My lucky day.

I can't believe I bought this ship. I had heard it was poor, but I thought that I would know how to play her better than the average player. I also had a level 4 captain and could increase the range of the guns by 20%. This ship is still utter rubbish. It excels at one thing, killing lone DDs. However, if that DD is a Benson/Fletcher/Kiev/Tashkent the battle with cost you over half your HPs. My major problem is you have to get close to ships to fire at them, but she is incapable of dodging and has no armour. Who thought this ship was viable at WG central? I'm all for glass cannons. I love the Kirov and bought the Molotov and do well with them. The Atlanta just can't cope at tier 7.

People might learn how to play against them again instead of running to the forums and screaming for nerfs...

Fixed upkeep cost is much better than punitive repair costs. Once that sinks in people will be more aggressive. Nothing to lose now

So far feels much less grindy

Although it is a shame there are so many BBs in the game, I am actually having a lot of fun in this ranked season. So far I is much better than the smoke spam of previous years. Maybe that will all change the higher I go, although I already made it to rank 12.

113K damage isn't really great in a montana. without running premium you're not going to make money like that. Damage makes no difference now... Prior to this patch, you wouldn't have made money either.

WoWs British voice acting seriously annoys British people (who are probably the ones who would want to use it the most).

try spotting for the team more?

Agreed with OP about the interface, but also would like to point out the glaringly obvious to WG that any attempts to balance a game where the CV is missing is futile...
