You seem to have many worst ships in the game... Francesco is one of the better Tier VII BB. Veneto is also a solid Tier VIII BB. On the other hand, one has to like the SAP mechanic and the low rate of fire. That is not everyones cup of tea.

I did not write that. Please read what I wrote. I did that twotimes. You claimed to provide context. Where is it? Especially since you consider other games irrelevant.... It is obvious. Hint: Do not bring up stuff you consider irrelveant yourself. This has nothing to do with me.

Please remember what you wrote.

And then say this... Do you play to win or farm damage?

You do not need to single someone out to make it personal. You want to restrict more than half the playerbase. That becomes personal rather quickly. And no, I did not claim that you are a bad player.

Hilarious It is funny when people come to the forum for such a declaration. For some reason they tend to announce different ships to be the worst... It might help not to jump into Tiers you lack experience in.

Because you want to restrict players. That is a very drastic and personal measure and you did not even think about the consequences.

Minnesota and Izumo say hello...

So much for not bringing up irrelevant stuff. But you did not. You wrote: "That depends entirely on what definition we attribute to "success" (again, scale). I mean Wowp is running for years, but... successfully ?" Then I suggest you think more about what you plan to write. And an irrelevant assertion is refuted by being irrelevant. Arguments do not work by bringing up irrelevant snippets. It doesn't work that way

No, you pointed out that we do have "some numbers", which is irrelevant as this applies to every game. As a comparission. You were comparing the two games despite, them being very different, which must have slipped your mind somehow. Nope, see below. It is hard to have an argument with a person that does not know what he is talking about and brings up stuff that is irrelevant.

Good players play against all players, not just bad players, but it is simple math that when you take away more than the lower half of playerbase, that you will get a new average. And this average will be around the current 53.7%+ WR, or in other words, people with that WR will move towards 50% and everyone below it, that includes you, will move below 50%...

the truth is that 508mm is very strong and Schliefen is more weakly armored than other BB do not move into a position were you can get surprised by a Schliefen in the first place but you wrote 5 km... then do not move close to an island when it is possible for DD to be there the airstrike mod on BB works too, but other stuff works better...

508mm guns have no problem damaging Schliefen when you get into Schliefens secondary range with your Incomparable, you are doing it wrong using any secondary skills on Incomparable is a waste of skill points 35k damage by fire and HE on Incomparable is no problem for the ship you are free load HE with your 508mm guns and blast Daring out of the water and no high Tier DD has 5km concealment and getting a slow DD as Daring within 2km of a fast ship like Incomparable is an achievement...

Then I suggest you think about what happens to your WR when you do not meet any players below 50% WR...

And still the good players win more, especially in Schliefen.

It helps to know how HE penetration works. And then you know that 102mm does not cut at Tier X...

Wenn es darum geht die Gefechte zwischen den Teams fairer zu machen, so bringt +0 MM keinen nennenswerten Unterschied. Man kann die +0 Gefechte sowohl in Ranked als auch in Random sehen und die sehen nicht besser aus. Mag sein das der individuelle Spieler sich im +0 MM besser fühlt™, aber die Gefechte sind dadurch nicht fairer. Die besten Ergebnisse erreicht der individuelle Spieler, wenn er auf dem Tier bleibt auf dem er am besten klar kommt. Und das ist in Regel nicht Tier X, wo die meisten, trotz permanenten Top-Tier, schlechter abschneiden als auf den niedrigeren Tiers. Soviel zum Thema individuelle Fairnis.

Streng geommen kann man noch mehr beeinflussen. Durch Divisionswahl kommt man von ca. 30 bis 90% Siegrate. Und selbst solo kommen manche Spieler bis 75%. Es ist also durchaus mehr möglich. Wäre schön wenn in dem Video auf die wahren Ursachen eingegangen wird. Leider werden Dinge genannnt, die wir schon seit Jahren haben und die Gefechte länger dauerten. Das passiert halt wenn man über Sachen spricht von denen man keine Ahnung hat.

Yes, we do not. But you are the one who wanted all numbers. Because you did not know the difference and brought WoWp as an example... So much for not talking about other games... Because you do not even know what you are talking about. See below. Then feel free continuing bringing stuff up you find irrelevant later. So much for proper arguments. But you seem to like the empty ones.

Finally we agree. I wonder why you brought it up anyway. That is not my call. I am just explaining to someone the obvious difference between WoWp and WoWs. How is that a contradiction? You were the one who brought it up... Maybe you should not bring up stuff that does not matter to you and the game.

You never know all numbers of any game. That is a useless comment. We know how much content is added for WoWP and how much content is added for WoWS. Content costs money. You do not invest heavily into a game over 7 years that does not earn that investment. If WoWs would run a deficit, the team would be much smaller. Yes, some people define the success of the game by the number of the champagner bottles in the bosses fridge. The strange views of some people do not really matter to me. Nope. It is not business practice to measure games that way.

Yes, scale matters and we know the numbers of the past and the fact that the game is running for years and obviously successfully. So we have a scale and do not need the world population or some other nonesense you pulled out of a hat.

What has this to do with your advice or your questions?

But it is a numbers game... And? You can ask these questions about any game...

That is what I was saying. And that is why this will not work. We know that a harsher economy works. We just have to return to it. Edit: Btw, with such a rule, you would quickly lose access to Tier IX and X battles. Take a guess what would happen to your WR...
