yeah, cause DDs are not fragile and can withstand tons of damage while being radared while the radaring ship sits untouchable and uncounterable(other than running) behind an island. and if a division or competitive player cannot work around a LoS restriction maybe he should just be playing random battle. No Risk no Reward holds true for DDs with a radar cruiser in play so why should there be no risk for the radar cruiser at the same time ?

that's something i endorse fully...like that thing needs a serious nerf.

i kinda agree T8 matchmaking is in a bad place right now. I play mostly T10 lately and almost every game theres at least two or more T8 sods in there. The only T8 I play myself is the Kutuzov which scales fairly well to T10 even tough it requires a more cautious approach but i've kinda given up on grinding the german BB line, Bismarck constantly getting tossed in with Yamato and the likes is just no fun and the reward at this time doesnt seem worth it. Same for my jap cruisers really. Thing is, T10 ships are kinda more forgiving than T8, step wrong one time and you're probably toast. Plus that "VIII" alone is basically a big "shoot me" sign painted over your head since pretty much everyone knows you're easy pickings.

so, to weigh in here. Hindenburg for some reason is my favorite ship, i even prefer her to my much beloved kutuzov. She doesnt excel at anything but is very well rounded, certainly more tanky than a zao or dm and doesnt have the big "shoot me" sign painted over it that the moskva has. the problem is that yeah, if you play it that I supposed WG intended in a rather agressive mid- to close-range manner you have very poor survivability in matches dominated by TX. In mixed matchups with IX and VIII you can get away with it more easily(duh). I dont think the heal will be a huge buff to her but at least it will add some of the needed survivability.

maybe not T10 alone but put T9 and T10 together and seperateT8 from it...thats about it ....

no, because that would just put all the complaints away where nobody would see them. what a convenient way to get rid of those pesky complainers.

e-sport requires a game that is balanced, not this s**t

they really dont want us to play us anything but BBs. [edited]it, aside from the ridiculous 2nd class treatment we get this just does it for me. theres a reason this game is so rage inducing...its that way by design. theres no balance or fair fight here.

shes the new khabarovsk...expect a nerf ... the rate of fire is a joke especially when you consider you can stealth fire at US Cruisers while the have radar active...

got so close yesterday in kutuzov to part 5 ... had a great game, 125k damage, 4 kills ... and 6 citadels....the last one was in my grasp but the [edited]russian cruiser started angling and no chance in hell i could get one on one of the remaining BBs ... i cried a little that night...

yeah, you may wanna actually try playing the Bismarck before making such statements

so up until today my 15pt Jap captain was happily commanding my minekaze. i login today...theres a 5pt captain there in his place and hes assigned to mutsuki ... if i want to use him on the minekaze ill have to retrain him.# i dont even own the [edited] mutsuki what the hell ?

actually Minekaze and Isokaze were OP with 15pt Captains. As for the T6 Fubuki, its quite nice. Concealment is somewhat bad 6.1km with 15pt captain but other than it feels nice. guns dont feel like a total waste of time anymore and rotate at a decent rate

as i wrote, you have to buy the mutsuki to be even able to reassign him. what a joke.

[edited] this is a basic lack of quality control...what a mess. i couldnt even reassign him from the mutsuki, you have to BUY to mutsuki in order to be able to reassign him. wtf

Mission 5 will be piss easy in a leander, finde one cruiser noob(not hard at T6) and just wait till he shows broadside, voila, citadel galore Mission 4 could be tricky but high tier DD in a T8 match should do the trick.

still dont get the point of the awful hydro ... its close to useless

did you also [edited]about CVs missions when DD life was made a living hell becuase everyone and their mother was playing CV ? thought not ... it shouldnt be made it easier, if you're struggling maybe its just not for you. no free handouts!

i have both nachi and takao. didnt even gun for nachi, just was completed at some point without me even paying attention to it. you've got plent of time to finish it, changing it now would be somewhat of a slap in the face to the ppl that have grinded it.

na, they need a damage nerf as a whole. the entire things just ridiculous. it was fine when DDs were a true match but with DDs getting nothing but hate from WG(torp nerf, radar, german hydro, BB turn radius...) those days are gone.

OP is wrong even were being honest here. BBs need a nerf across the board. the fact that a crapBB player can easily outperform a good CA player with minimal effort says it all really. DDs, CAs, CVs, they all get punished for their mistakes, BBs just shrug it off, thats the core of the problem.

seriously...i cant do it anymore. playing this ship is literally the least fun ive ever had playing a game. What makes this thing so bad is all the small things that, by themselves, arent that big a deal but added provide a package that should have the developer thats responsible commit seppuku. The MM which in 8 out of 10 cases make your life a nightmare(its enough for a T10 BB to look at you funny and you blow up) the atrocious guns... the even more atrocious armor crappy AA(even more so in combination with the bad MM) crap range bad torp arcs and the fact that the only viable way to play this thing is essentially if you treat is a glorified destroyer minus the good sides...

Now this is no "BBs are OP plz nerf" kind of thread but right now playing a cruisers just feels pointless. Right now im on Roon, Baltimore and Mogami(which i hardly play since its such a gimp) and frankly none of them are fun right now. The sheer number of BBs and amount of damage they can dish out just renders you obsolete. I havent had a single game today where BBs dont outnumber Cruisers...let that sink in People used to complain about how all those DDs make BBs life a living hell with all those torps, well, now its the same for cruisers. Take Baltimore for example. 2 Roles, Hunt DDs and AA. Hunt DDs with radar means getting somewhat close which makes you the prime target for every BB out there. your closer than all the BB campers at the back, youre squishy and youre a lot easier to hit than a DD. And lets face it, these knuckleheads dont even need to aim properly. Even when perferctly angled a salvo from T8/9/10 BB can do upwards of 10k damage. Next up, AA Duty. essentially boils down to hanging back with the BBs and shoot at what comes into your pathetic range. Not to mention the fact that unless im fully AA equipped and skilled a BB will have better AA unless you fire Defensive Fire. So whats the point again ? Capping is a nogo unless its completely undefended and you can be sure theres no BB nearby. On the other hand lets look at my ways to fight back...oh, wait...there are none. Sure, I can start some fires if im lucky but that gets shrugged off and reapired in no time. I can kite(easier with Roon than with baltimore) but unless its a complete tool im running from im still toast. As i said ... it just feels pointless right now. You cant really be useful other than when radar is available and if you angle yourself flawlessly against one BB theres at least 3 more waiting ...

maybe if you're stats werent hidden we would believe you.

after all the frustrations of T10 DD gameplay I went back to the Isokaze yesterday...oh boy, what a difference. think 2 or 3 Krakens in about 1 dozen games...its sealclubbing but a nice change of pace from constantly being harassed by radar and what seems to be an endless supply of planes. also, BBs still go in straight lines at that tier and cant turn on a coin.
