Just watch the damn video and learn to fight her! >

I absolutely agree, i think it's a responsibility of a carrier to dish out damage and protect the fleet if it is possible

Sollution to the Problem. Go close and personal to enemy BB cause you drive an Unimog on Water with Guns. Your frontal armor is a giant middlefinger to all Opposing Battleships. On 2km range you do not give a rats [edited]bout enemy armor your pen value or anything else and if your guns dont fist them the torpedos will

I play the indy always balanced and i dont play it like the other 90% of players but still the fact remains that a strike fitted cv is a non factor as he can only indirectly and with very situational luvk affect a match in any way. I also be the first to admit my struggle with the real time point click and you can whitness my learing curve. Think of it like this playing strike only bo fighters is like taking a Colorado or other bb to the d capture point on the northmap you bring a lot of Potential but the circumstances dictate applying that damage.

Yup. Ships are crapcause... reasons.

I say it again. US CVs making themselves useless by not picking any setup that has a fighter squad in it. Out of the shitload of us carriers i had recently only 2 had one fighter one of them cause he was unupgraded. It is really not funny to always say forget the cv once its an american.

Not your fault. The Meta is hard on the Benson at the Moment. With recent changes to spotting i would recommend adv firing training for the benson concealment just lost all sexyness for fletcher and gearing afterwards. The added aa defence and range on the other hand. If you got thst get demo expert so your spam carrys extram matches to light it up

Especially not if you take into account that this ship just had a massive discount 2 weeks ago. Now you have a lot of people hopping from pensa and cleveland to higher tiers and sucking accordingly. On that note please drive more RU Cruisers.... keeps me laughing tears to front citadel them....

Dont know what you are smoking but every cruiser after pensacola is pure trolling fun. Extreme strong AP shells that hammer cruiser away. I can citadel des moines easy in my new orleans. Her AA is a bit weak cause they messed with the inner and outer shells but still. Carriers on the other hand maybe need a setup change cause every high tier cv of the us cvs js only going full strike what just feels wrong. IJN DD are still good the mind set of their captains is just wrong they sport great guns from fubuki onwards but those never get used its always more torps in the water cause why fire he shells that almost do 2500 alpha strikes per gun right? Wanna play hard mode? Try Khabarovsk its dancing on swords at the best of times. You have no torps to spaek of or some ijn dd that refuses to play the objective moaning about your op guns cause its totally op to need 140 shells to kill a shima without getting return fire

Oh yes, i L O V E the new Furutaka. Good Job.

Estuary is to small for the Set Tiers, plus some teams get an inherent advantage by getting a player placed to the Cap to close. Neighbors is Aestetically one of the best Maps ever designed, however it has way to much open waters and the caps are to far spaced, plus one team ALWAYS has an island advantage. Okinawa is also a map that is a bit to small if you take in the tiers, most battleships imidiately drop backward and give up the cruisers. Generally are BBs now only sniping away on hightiers most people don't care if they only hit one shot out of a 9 gun volley , it's enough they hit something, and all this maps are playing right down this alley. Bad Design Choice.

I am all for the Hood in the Game. Lets do Kriegsmarine Drivebyshootings..... Shells in da Hood you know

+1 Most of the time i forgot something

The really bad part about the Hindenburg changes are that she didnt get better but worse and get a unicorn of that rather randomly added 50mm on the turret.... really seeing her in action it makes me shudder... but well

Please please please go over the designs for the Hindenburg. What ever you hoped to achive with that changes to her aa layout. Who ever came up with the placement either had a really bad day or no idea. Most of that aa mounts look like just glued on for the sake of beeing glued on. They block actual modules and make no sense in their placement to begin with as the overlap would be total senseless. Plus esthetics suffer massively

Oh boy, someone will be butrhurt from tier 4 onwards.... For my two cents i would love to have shimakazes to constantly ping on the map so i do.not have to lookie lookie for him iny Khabarovsk. Generally Crusiers also should only shoe broadside while their firing arcs should all be like the Yorks AP Shells

The Shells of various Guns appear wonky to say the least. The Weather Effects are very nice, but don't limit that visual just to the beginning of the Match kind of takes the fun out of it. Cyclone suffers from the now wonky spotting to. Serveral times got killed in my Destroyer cause i was out of 8km Range but apparently visible for longer than the indicator said i was. No matter what the Shells are the major game breaker. I can not come up with any kind of understanding how a BB Main Battery HE Shell now simply just does 734 ~ 814 Damage Points while AP saws a dd in half... thats somewhat hard to understand.

Also... just had a game with the Tirpitz, i shoot two salvos HE shells on a fletcher, first slavo 2 hits 834 damge, second salvo 3 hits 734 damage. I switch to AP 3 hits 4,5k damage. is it just me or does that sound fundamentaly wrong. also got hit by a kiev in that match for 6k salvos... please people what ever bright RNG you have running in the backround turn it of, roll this back it's not bearable to simply roll the dice on ammunition and what damage it may or may not do...

They broke the Gearing on T10, Khabarovsk outguns it. Just sunk a whooping 50 shells on a Shimakaze to be defeated in a gun duel by a Kagero soon after. I don't know who had that brainfart to mix arround with HE that much but this ain't the same shells as they where before, feels a lot like RNG you roll 0 sorry no damage, but it's an UNARMORED DD... NO DAMAGE... PERIOD... Fun and engaging. -_-

Bad Matchmaking isn't surprise since the 0.5.3 update this game lost about 10k Players on EU alone. Sad but true and the selective MM that is implemented is now causing havoc among the motivation of the remaining Players high tier, mid tier... i for example had in the last 10 games with the murmansk not a single game where i was not low tier most of the time even the only t5 in the whole game.

yeah i know the feeling it aint fun to face of against a yamato while beeing torped by 3 shimakzes in an amagi

Clishee ahead i would love to see german destroyers.... and battleships. That aside i loo forward to anything to mix up, russian cruisers are a welcome diversion in the current Japanese Dominated trees. Not sure i want to see the whole paper concepts all together though. ;)

I reverted to Fletcher to combat DDs effectively at t9 + The Gearing is no real option to slow not stealthy enough to sneak up on them plus a 600+ turn circle that would more than once ended my day for running into one odd torp by a shimakaze. it's true there is just no skill involved when the Damage of one Torp easy kills of your t10 counterpart on the enemy team. just to give an example : http://i.imgur.com/f3Y5Z2o.jpg?1 Its so fun, try doding that in a cruiser or a BB

Especially if just turn involves trying to dodge 15 torpedos x3 on 72 kn in a nicely rolled out carpet quadrupled the size of your ship you can turn all you want taking 4 torpedos only is a miracle.

Actually i has got substantially worse, if i go in alone i get used as filler to compensate for the Squads the MM can not handle if i go in into a Match as a Divisionmember i tend up getting matched against T6 Opponents in a T8 BB. Destroyers is even worse. On higher tiers you get sorted matches like 2 Shimakazes 1 Kagero and something lower against you as a single gun destroyer. and two ships that have no concealment to match the enemy DDs. And the Imbalanced matches are really really more often than before 5 against 3 Destroyers cause SQUAD. Same Nation against quiet the Assortment..
