Imagine a world in which a test server was available for unlimited times... without having to put a full second client on your harddisk... and having your valuable insights from playing on it really mattering to the game designers... Dreams, right?

If I would have to choose between "Damage Output" and "Winning the battle because helping my teammates destroying enemy DDs or other valuable targets" I of course would only do the most important thing: Damage, damage, damage... The bad thing that there's tons of players doing exactly that, who then wonder that even with all the shiploads of damage they do they still linger at 45% winrate...

Two easy solutions without any need to leave the game: Go to only playing CoOp... nothing else, only CoOp. So you produce cost for WG, as they have to have the server running for you, while You don't offer others - non-WG critics or non-dissidents, as WG would probably call critics in good old russian tradition - the joy to get fast battles due to all "dissidents" playing only CoOp Go on to only play at sealclubber tiers and educate eventual new players in the joys of get gangb*nged in each battle they enter. It helps to tell them in chat: be glad this isn't higher tier, as there it would hurt a lot more... And of course there's the maybe not so easy solution - for all us addicts - of just stopping playing.

Corrected that for You. And achieving unexpected outcomes clearly shows that the Game Designers don't really have the foggiest idea about their own game and don't have the balls to get some help by asking veteran players with agreed upon skills about their opinions. Just as the CV Reeework Fiasco could have been avoided by just adapting the mechanics for RTS CV by some of the ideas given by Unicum CV players, which would have made it a lot less balance destroying as the sh*t WG themselves came up with.

Well, I have to say that is the most educated insult that I've seen in a while... would have been worth a +1 Karma when directed at me. "glhf" nearly always makes me answer "Yeah, gulag for all who have fun"... (which is some kind of play with words as "good luck" and "gulag" sound about the same to german ears...) soo... business as usual, right?

Damn... not even giving us the chance for the good ol' goodbye phrase (which never had any sense in this game anyway) "Bye and can I haz UR stuff, plz?" Ah well.. See you in a couple... like Arnold, the terminator, You (probably) will be back...

Which in itself a very positive thing, meaning chances to meet you in game and especially in my team should be slim... ^^ On the other hand there's a shipload of options in that poll that show your predjudiced mindset and on the other hand lots of options not in it that people would probably rather agree to. So in the end it's just another BS post... watch out, you're definately close to the StarbuckCrying area already..

My thought is, that there must be for unknown reasons a severe shortage of vodka, coke and ladies of negotiable virtue, leading to inflationed prices for these, making WG desperate to grab more money to finance their daily needs... And yes, the whole hybrid concept is cringeworthy stupid...

Quite the other way around: 2 seconds on the surface might give 1 second dive capacity. being periscope depth should allow the sub to go at 1/2 speed maximum and allow them to lose dive capacity at 1/2 strength Agreed, but diving should be a slow progress, with emergency diving either limited uses or risk of damage or both. Easy to use isn't bad per se... but limited uses - like for hydro/radar/etc - should be okay.. fully agreed. Especially not by auto DCP on CVs agreed. They should be only radared when fully surfaced. On the other hand they should be hydroed even when diving...

Exactly.. nothing better than a torp or a couple shell put into that obviously not quite afk potato lagging behind just to a) make him stop watching adult movie videos besides playing or b) getting his bot software to react to a thread and getting it's "evade" script going... ^v^

I agree that he usually behaves (or better: is) an entitled whiner with an annoying pattern of speech and voice, which is the reason I avoid watching any videos by him. But on this occasion I can fully understand his outrage and whining. It's a clear example that WG "game designers" - must be a new batch, as in the early years game mechanics were slightly better thought through - do not have the foggiest idea what the crap they nowadays - about since The Great CV-Reeework Fiascotm - does to balance and fun in the game. Well, there's always CoOp right?

I have to admit, with all this BS on line playing a CV and just doing nothing really becomes an interesting option... just use them planes to spot a bit and maybe drop a fighter here or there as an alibi for being not very efficient.. and just watch the horror when the chat explodes... Yes, I'm one of those man who want to see the world uhm.. well... get enlighted... seeing the light... light a light... match... burn, baby burn...

*CoughKitakami incomingCough* In fact this new rule is just another blatant nerf for our poor little helpless BaBBies and a buff for DDs, as the nasty DDs can now pummel the poor helpless islandhugging allied BaBBy with 39 torps without any penalty (or damage), surely blowing the mind of the poor little BaBBy who might even decide to give up it's valuable camping spot and move into dangerously open waters...

Attention to the enemy (insert random plane class here) Provide AA fire support! (I mean, really??? How is it that this is still in the game? Rubbing salt into the wounds, WG?) Sooo... Your division got 6 kills - check All other teammembers got only 5 kills - check 8 of the other 9 teammembers got sunk themselves - check So they probably were playing quite bad (like losing 8 ships while only sinking 5) and might have lost the battle if not for You and the other potatoes in division A...

Really want to see you how would manage to club real baBByseals - aka Tier 4 BBs - in a FDR... maybe you should make a proposal so they put you into one as the end boss for the next halloween event?

b...b....b....but subs are implemented to be THE ULTIMATE CV HUNTERtm right guys? Everyone assured us they won't just another gimmick to f*ck up DD and Cruiser gameplay, but are supposed to put them flying ratz into their deserved position - here: below the waves... But seriously... anyone expected WG to come harm to their lovechilds, which desperately have to stay at 5% playerbase played to for the responsible braindead game designers to keep their jobs paychecks supply of females of negotiable virtue and vodka.

Nice to see that some two really special people finally found something to agree on... For me it would only be the fun to be had when taking out my Mikasa and seeing her 152mm secondary guns blast other ships at ~10 klicks range or so...

My favourite to club seals is good old Vampire... the T3 one of course... not sure if one can still get it and it probably needs some skill or a special mindset to work...

I fully agree... please give all (!) secondary guns their real ranges... not only CVs of course, but all... oh, the lulz we would have...

Well isn't that great... so now WG has just to work the Tiers to T4 and make AA work there, too, to make the game less sh*tty for non-CVs again... I bet they manage to do that in an iffy, right?

I even usually s*ck royally in battles whenever I can read "Hy Deckeru, I know You from forum" or just when I recognize a forumite in battle... Not this time, though... With T7 in a T9 battle I still managed 90k damage, but only one sinker... and while I managed to hold the C cap for quite a while, I took a beating so it only took that enemy russian T9 or T10 to take me down... And yes, those BBs threw the win away, as we were ahead and they only would have had to survive and defend on cap to win... but hey, that's BaBBies for you, right Maybe we have more luck the next time we meet... or even better, we end on opposite... always the best battles against people one knows Oh.. and it's "he" for me... no need for genderistic "them/they" sublety

Thank gods it was unintentional... just imagine the chaos when 3d department implements intentional bugs... Although... some game design changes recently and some plans for more changes at least feel as if they could be intentional bugs...

Yes, in that battle with Your HSF Harekaze You sunk 5 ships. And 31 planes, which shows that the enemy CV wanted to see You sunk and probably ignored better targets. It probably helped that You were in a 3 player division (can't see with which ships, I guess a CV was among them?!?) but not enough that Your team managed to win the battle... So.. Yeah, great performance... but a loss nonetheless... which is described best imho like as "kissing your sister/brother" Not an attempt to bash your stats, which are great... at least in CVs and when playing the other classes in divisions... it just makes your POV a wee be CV-centric I guess. ;)

Yep... CV Reeeework 2.0: "Great success. We made (about 1% of) players happy with this new feature (while p*ssing off 99%) and we are sure the game will greatly profit from them (although not so greatly as our bank account from selling the new subs we implement as pay2play soontm)."

Considering how some seem to play, one can only hope for them they do these things a bit more attentive, else they end up cooking the cat, playing with their dinner and stroking their willy while in an online meeting while working from home...
