WG stated the AP does not work as intended. It is a problem, but the fix is complicated.

Why do you think that? If you play DDs a lot you notice these things. Now it is true, WG with all their data collections never noticed it, and actively dismissed this when it was pointed out to them, but they have finally accepted that it is an issue.

Since this is WG, Submarines... AP only.

Scharnhorst seems ok; and while Gneisenau damage and XP is a bit low over the last two weeks, the win rate is ok.

A farmer cares about his fields, as long as it provides for him. WG only cares about this game in a similar fashion. Improving game play if it either expand the player base (cash coming in) or causes the existing player base to spend more is a priority. Them spend resources or ignoring increased income for your or my comfort... is not a priority.

Seriously? Which do you think is more important to a company?

Be careful what you wish for, as WGs record with CV changes is mixed at best.

I tend to believe most Battleship and Cruiser players are fine, at least that is what I see in my games. However,... In a game where multiple BB push a flank intelligently, is very powerful; but when a single battleship moves forward, while many of the others are camping, it can be a receipt for disaster. Camping BBs undermined the BBs and Cruiser that are playing smart/well. Just my opinion... doesn't mean it is correct. I never count on support from my team. If I get it great, but if not...

Have you forgot their response to iChase? Why should they act when the can overreact.

I think modifications in CV play might work. I don't think all the player in BBs are their because the play them well (damage/win rate), but because they can sit at range and be safe. If AA could be modified, as well as CV game play, camping in a BB would not be the safe game play. Cruiser might make a come back. I did also. Pan Asians are the least of his problems.

I think with some players, Pan Asian DDs will have no effect on their ability to play the game.

You rammed a ship that was not moving. This mistake, you made, is that what brought you here to start this thread?

How often are you experiencing 'ramming'?

Well, considering 2016 was the year of the carrier... maybe ramming is still on their list somewhere. I think 2027 in the year of the ram on the Chinese calendar.

I keep seeing people post that there are too many noob DD players, that DDs are getting wiped out very quickly, etc. In general, DD players have been reduced to around 20% of the player base from its peek of about 40% two years ago. What is the effect on camping? BBs as a group camp, because that player base is infested with a certain type of player.. the low risk individual; and the highest risk to BBs is AP damage. I have played in game in which there were only one DD per side, and once spotted, it makes it fairly easy to see which side of the map is DD free... passivity continued anyway. DDs aren't the cause, just an excuse. In mid tier, I go out in my DD scouting and screening, which should allow my cruisers and battleship the ability to move close behind me. No DD can get within 5 Km of me without being spotted, plus torpedoes are restricted to 10 Km at these levels, so my team can follow behind fairly safely 5 -7 Km behind me; and while many do, a lot do not. They hang back 15-20 Km behind me. Fear is what drives these types of players to camp. Nameless fear. Note: many Battleship and Cruiser players are 'aggressive game deciders', so my opinion in no way applies to all or even the majority in these types of ships.

I have been told by some experienced CV players that one of the best ways to defend against CV strikes is to group up. Stay together. Since a large segment of the BB population seems to play fairly static... how does your proposal lead to 'movement'?

There are a lot of BB players who feel CVs should be removed because it is not fun for them. Where is the difference? Just to note: It is impossible for any CV or CV player to crush my BB dreams.

Many BB players camp, but it isn't because of DDs.

...had magic heals, insane accuracy, AA that slaughtered aircraft in droves, BB that started and stopped like sports cars. You seem to have left these out. Is there a reason?

Is it fun if you are a BB and being targeted by a CV? Should CVs be removed then?

You play cruisers, but want fewer DDs in the game? Why?

In PvE the AI is fairly predictable. In what way is it giving you problems?

Agreed.

I have 47 reserve slots!
