Ban premium ships from ranked.

Is it not a bit too early to make counter changes? I do think if changes are needed, buffing "Expert Loader" might be a good choice.

I am interested in seeing what they will propose for the length of the delay; and on which ships. Is Russian radar that bad? US radar delay in team spotting reduced by three seconds is virtually meaningless, but if by 40 seconds... far too much.

The main role of the average DD is scouting and screen, if the mere presence of a CV in the game forces the DD to camp in the back with the BBs, eliminating scouting and screening... then the game design is broken. Just to note: I don't think it is that bad at mid-tier.

I don't think CE changes, with regards to BB makes, much of a difference to your average DD player. CE changes on cruisers, in particular radar cruisers, might have an effect.

For me personally (DD main), the opposing team can never have enough BBs., as it just means more targets. I do question what effect large number of BBs have on the Meta; in particular the effect on cruisers and their game play.

I don't cared for the flooding mechanic. Two plus years ago me in a Hatsuharu, three DD game, me and other DD in the west. Our eastern DD goes down, so I decide to redeploy to the east and give our team support, but before I left the area, I drop low percentage torpedoes on a BB. As I was speed boasted to the east, when I was informed that one of the torpedoes hit. The opponent team had a DD in the east, and upon arrive I my found our team withdrawing, while the opposing team was advance strongly. I decide I needed to slow them down and drop some low percentage torpedos on an advance BB to let him know a DD was in the area. There was little chance the would hit. I reposition to support my team and was informed I sunk a BB. What?! I checked and the BB I had just targeted was alive and well... so what happened? The BB I hit with a single torpedo in the west must have hit the bow and started a flood, while the damage control was on cool down. How long did this BB player just sit there helpless to stop the inevitable? How is that fun? Just to note: I play DDs, and flooding is a non-issue against my ship. If I flood out.... I was dead anyway.

1. How is the number of games played... not hard data on the number of games played? 2. I have stated repeatedly the smoke and long range torpedoes add to static game play. So, what do you want nerfed about BBs?

I post hard data... you don't like it so you go into personal attacks. Hasn't my points been about how 'cruisers' being indirectly nerfed? An increase in cruisers, which seem desirable to me... is an indirect nerf to DDs.

No disrespect. Your survival rate in your DDs is very bad. It seem like you are over playing these ships Your stats are a tool to help you.

Really? What about the actual numbers I posted? Did you not read them?

If you are talking about Tier 10, well that has been crap since I joined. Three years ago, me in a Benson, on Trap, taking the A cap, then turning north only to find my game had broke (I thought). I could see three BBs, but both my torpedo indicator torpedo indicator and my scope showed the were not moving. I got closer and closer and noticed the were shooting, but not moving. What the...? A naval game were the proper tactic was to park your ship... my introduction to high tier game play.

None. My overall point. The number of BBs per match has increased over the last three years, and since BB are the hard counter to cruisers... it has changed the META. Cruisers (a hard counter to DDs) have lost their ability to... cruise... early game; and this has allowed DD roam at will. WG has talked about increasing the armour capabilities of some cruisers... I guess we will have to wait and see.

Why? 1 vs 1 Why does a tier 7 cruiser counter a tier 7 BB better than say a Mahan?

Desperate for what? You seem to want to make this personal... is that you wish?

Perhaps BB are at the top of the food change, but if that was the case... shouldn't they be the main type of ship that carries game? In my opinion, they are not. My opinion: they are just the easiest to play poorly. Many point out bad DD players who get sunk at the first of the game, or unskilled cruiser players who get nuke quickly or Cv players who can't even figure out the interface... but a so-so BB play can sit at range, be relatively safe, and do a little bit of damage, while surviving till all most the end of the battle.

Because if your looking at change you have to include at least two points of reference... simple logic. Note the increase, significant increase, at higher tiers for BB related to cruisers. 2015/09/04 Higher Tier Total Battles BB 171182 CA 328497 2018/09/01 Higher Tier BB 6587113 CA 6394221 CV 290043 DD 3641891 Lower Tier BB 2521750 CA 3236740 CV 301218 DD 1815951

So, you are calling me a liar? 2015/09/04 Higher Tier Total Battles BB 171182 CA 328497 CV 80965 DD 85459 Lower Tier BB 1865855 CA 2830463 CV 603041 DD 1480410 Sub_Octavain "In our concept of ideal class distribution, BBs should have 25-30% of popularity. It works more or less, but on some realms/tiers they exceeded this limit."

Making up what? That the percent of ship types played has changed over time?

BB players use to be out or near 30%. Why are there so many BB players now?

What is this +2/-2 match making you speak of?

So the primary problem actually boils down to... too many BBs. Reducing the average number of BBs per game, will lead to more cruisers, more cruiser mean a much harder game for DDs. What is not to like?

Why do DDs cause cruisers to play passive?

Are you say flamu doesn't know the difference? When was the last time CC talked about BBs tanking damage for the team... and actually doing it? Three years ago it was prescribe that BBs use their tankiness and heals to absorb damage... tank for the team aggressively. Who prescribes that in this META?

1. Why is this bad in your opinion? 2. Bad for whom? 3. Sitting behind island, farming damage and not actively countering DDs.
