Bad match making coupled with what has to be Dumbest player population of any game ever, omg there's a whole new level of stupid i didn't even think was possible!.

NO was my first T8 cruiser, im yet to be matched against anything lower than T9/10, every game, don't experience this on any other T8 cruiser. NO, really nice ship, but not capable in T9/T10 games where even DDs out-tank and out-shoot you. My advice for most cruiser fans, you can get better ships, that aren't so out of place and at a disadvantage.

Players like the OP are the main reason this game is practically devoid of anything that can be described as balanced!. Hey OP, when you show me videos of CA gameplay of tier 8 and above, of you absolutely pwning the sh!te out of BBs, and not getting citadeled by BBs at any distance regardless of angling, proving that BBs are under performing against CAs and other BBs, then you will have a valid voice. But typically you will be nothing more than someone desperately clinging onto any crutch you can and getting as many counters as possible nerfed, pretty much describes the majority of players here!. Hey WG, here's a tip for you, see that repair module, either all ships get it, or it gets removed, talk about an obvious balance breaker, sheesh!.

I see pink ships rather a lot lately, funny, as i've only ever once seen a TK incident, i see toxic chat just about every game though, maybe WG could add Pink chat text? .

Mixing lone wolves with grouped players doesn't work, it creates huge imbalances and is exploitable. Grouping either is removed or given its own queue, quick random battle should be solo only.

Hey OP, i guess your the type that needs cheat, nothing new in WoWs, so i guess you should go check out Artificial Aiming's site, their Helios engine is undetectable in all the games its been applied to, but its gonna cost you a monthly sub for the privilege.

BBs that actively hunt the enemy team wins over the BBs who sit back and engage at 20+ Km. Cruisers can't reliably do there job (ie screening for the BBs and hunting DDs and CAs) when all that firepower/armor and huge health pool hides in a corner. If you are a dedicated BB captain and do the above, you waste the time of everyone that gets put on a team with you!. Ie you ruin the game for others by being a retard.

Well maybe if BB captains grew a set and actually pushed up instead of sitting at the edge of the map all huddled together, cruiser captains would actually have the support necessary to push up and be aggressive.

WoWs easily has the least skilled players of any PvP game i've played, but then what do you expect from a game that's heavily advertised on places like Facebook. Candycrush to WoWs, GGClose.

WG's main target audience is the casual gamer, how many legit E-sports games do you see advertised daily on TV? The horrible balance this game has is also there to cater to the casual gamer, and you guys are surprised by low skill players in high tier ships.

I've noticed a lot of passive BB play recently, but its not only present in this game, mechwarrior has the same problem with heavies and assaults. Noob thinking, bigger is better and therefore i will rek face without having to actually learn, also the horrible balance in this game encourages it, accept that and things can be improved on.

Meh Artificial Aiming's cheat software currently remains undetectable by all current game companies, no-one has been able to actually create a concrete way of detecting its use.(PGI are the only company credited with detection of the cheat software, but that was more down to player vigilance and a very public display of cheating during a tournament that was aired on twitch). Observing players ingame and watching for signs of cheating is about as much as they can do, and that is a hugely unrealistic method of dealing with cheats. I like others in the Mechwarrior Online community have investigated to actually see for ourselves how bad it is, and sorry to say but AA have a healthy customer base from this game as they do with just about every major game out there. Cheating is part of gaming and its way worse than most think, its an industry within the gaming industry and its rapidly growing.

Optimization!, Game runs so so much better!, patch is worth it for that alone!. Weather effects, loving it, only wish it lasted for the whole match, yes i want to fight in torrential rain. Loving the UI changes, especially the flashing player icon when you actually do damage. Match Maker also seems to be much less of a D!ck now too lol.

I just bought the Atlanta, and so far i'm enjoying it, amazing DD hunter and a challenge to play at its tier. Bit pricey for what you get tho.

Cruisers are jack of all trades, they don't actually have a mechanic that makes them excel in any given area really, sure SOME cruisers are rather quite good at hunting DDs, but its still a very limited ability, DDs have infinite invisibility perk that can be quite difficult to break. BBs outright just wreck cruisers, even with partial or angled hits, sure SOME cruisers can kite well enough to continuously set BBs on fire, but then BBs can just heal what damage the cruiser did, after they finally one-shot it. Some cruisers are rather slow and have horrible turning circles making then ideal targets for torp planes, so even CV benefit from cruisers. So yes, repair party for all cruiser T7 and above, its not really gonna save you from getting broadsided by a battle ship, or taking a full spread of torps, but it does give the cruiser player a little more skirmishing ability. It maybe could result in a little more aggressive play by cruiser captains in the future, something that can be rather impossible at times due to low cruiser survivability . EDIT: T7&8 cruisers get one charge of repair party, so its a one time thing, use it carefully.

Russian Cruisers are glass cannons, have horrible turning circles but have amazing guns, and should be utterly terrifying to DDs, but that's dependent on the Captain, naturally. One shotting DDs in my Kirov is hilarious fun, on the other had, the BB captains are saying the same thing about my Kirov .

I play a few games competitively, and this game has by far the worst match maker of them all, its also completely lacking in proper balance. True story, like it or not,and its a big reason for rather high levels of toxicity that WG games are famous for.

I've been playing the Kirov and Budyonny a lot, i love em, gorgeous looking ships, true glass cannons. Both are amazing when you play semi-aggressive, push on enemy cruisers and close the gap and rek them with AP, also both ive found they excel at hunting DDs. When dealing with BBs, they can kite well, but you absolutely cannot tank damage like other cruisers so you have to be smart about it.

Came across this video today of the USS Iowa, basically a private tour of areas not normally accessed during tours. Some really interesting info in there, and for those of us who haven't served on large military ships, it give a sense of how massive these beasts actually are!.

OP keep grinding away at the German cruisers, when you reach the Konigsberg, you will be rewarded and all will have been worth it.

Sry OP, you have less than 1K games played and don't have tester tags, your opinions are invalid. Just like in MWO, if you are below those of us that are in tier 2 or 1 , your opinions are invalid, you have no right to a voice.

So i have played my first 4 battles in my first ranked season. won, loss,won, loss, done pretty well in all games, 2 wins i had decent team mates (who communicated the desire to stick together and focus fire), 2 i lost was due to mouth breathers. Unfortunately i can't control the quality of my team mates, and it seems neither can the Match Maker, all in all kinda making it a waste of time.

This game engine has horrible post process performance, its slow and not very well optimized. It takes forever to load even the most basic of maps, and this is on a system that runs cry engine 3 games at high res and maxed out graphics with ease. Its not the players and their PCs, its the game engine itself.

okay over the last two days i've had a number of games where, my team is.... A. Way ahead on kills B.way ahead on points C.In the process and almost capped the enemy cap point Five minute warning sounds, a minute or so later the game ends, we lose! WTF! How?!. It doesn't make sense to me at all, can someone please explain how this is possible.

Its very possible he needs those numbers for a programmable cheat engine that currently exists, that strangely most are unaware of , and it works on server authoritative games.
