All DDs are not created equal. How does a Farragut stay back with his team and accomplish anything? It lacks the tools for that type of game play.

Over a small sample of games MM has a large influence, but over many games... The Law of Large Numbers is in effect.

This does not seem to be true. Stats seem to indicate the opposite, they have more impact now than before... at least up to 0.8.0.4

Interesting. When I play Ranked, I always start off by asking what is the plan, because based on those responses, I can make some preliminary thoughts with regards to team members.

When you played the most influential ship on your team it lost, but when someone else to play that ship your team won. What do you think that means?

I agree there is an issue.

Only six! You should have been playing when German bbs launched. 11bb and one cruiser. Me.

SO Q: Many battleship players complain about the HE spam. Do you plan any changes in gameplay? A: The server statistics shows that battleships take most damage from AP. Moreover, most of the damage to the citadel cannot be repaired. Spamming HE from smoke is less attractive now due to quicker reload of the radar consumables. Reducing the HE damage would lead to a "World of Battleships", which would entail a battleships nerf. If playing the battleships is so uncomfortable, why is this class so popular? A: We would like to make cruisers more popular. This is why they get rudder mod.3 in 0.5.12. Other tweaks will be introduced later. 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. We don't want global nerfs and will try to avoid them at all costs - this is why we cancelled bow plating reduction. But some smaller, more precise actions will be taken.

Magical.

I miss the old days of ranked, when there were no rental ships and everyone was skilled.

Disorientate, is that what BB do to cruisers. Good to know.

One game?

What do you think that proves?

In this case, perhaps with reason.

Wouldn't this be a nerf to the capabilities of Tier 4 CVs? I am not sure they need individual nerfs.

Might it be possible for WG to focus on fixing the AA 'bug' before working on more CV nerfs? LittleWhiteMouse A Throne of Lies The Bug "...Currently, ships don't preload their anti-aircraft guns. Yep, someone has to go run and fetch the ammo hoppers before your guns will shoot. This means, using Thunderer as our example, that aircraft can sit in her long-range aura for 4.95 seconds before they take Continuous Damage. Before the boost nerf, it was all too easy for aircraft carriers to rocket through some of the slower firing auras without taking a lick of damage. It didn't matter how many damage boosts you applied, if you hadn't reinforced your sectors to increase your rate of fire, they were in and out before your guns would shoot once. Graf Zeppelin and Indomitable could make 0.7km/s with some of their strike aircraft, meaning that even if you did reinforce your sectors, there was long range AA that simply couldn't touch them..." https://forum.worldofwarships.com/topic/192541-continuous-aa-dps-explained/

Tyrendian89 was debating whether to just make this its own thread, but I'll leave it here for now (also for visibility).

0.8.0 CVs (excluding Tier 4s)... in comparison to other ship types: highest damage dealers, highest spotting damage, longest survivability, most EXP, most....etc. Negative... don't cap well. 0.8.0 CVs game concept was fundamentally flawed. One ship type that does everything best is fundamentally flawed; and this should be obvious to all. WG has instituted changes, but before the recent patch they have not been effective in altering 0.8.0 CVs game play fundamentally enough to bring them into balance.

I have that answer. 42

I believe the same argument can be made for the Conqueror. A rather poor diet full of meaningless calories.

0.8.4 Plans for introducing aircraft preparation time at the beginning of each battle, aircraft carrier matchmaking. However this change created a long waiting period for the aircraft carrier player without any actions to perform other than setting the ship's route. Thankfully, US mid tier BB don't have this problem.

They only thing Enterprise does poorly at, (as do all CVs), is with regards to base capture. Similar number of players and games played. +15% more damage, +10% Exp, and +35% more ships sunk. average of rates nation class tier prem name players total battles exp damage caused warship destroyed aircraft destroyed base capture base defense survived kill / death spot damage 05/25/19 US BB 8 P Massachusetts 253 4544 1649 64193 0.88 7.79 5.59 5.59 32.73 1.31 16652 05/25/19 SN BB 8 Vladivostok 310 4887 1800 61117 0.82 4.95 5.2 4.03 32.61 1.22 18349 05/25/19 US CV 8 P Enterprise 307 5647 2042 73917 1.19 8.43 0.78 15.13 78.65 5.57 47979

In general, with silver ships overtime, as more players move into that ship and start to play, it's overall stats start to fall. Premium ships don't always follow that course; and since 0.8.0 Enterprise was released the number of players using this ship, as well as the number of games played have increase dramatically. It seem that damage is returning to RTS levels, while overall effectiveness of this CV is +30% higher. I wonder it this isn't just an example of players learning how to use this ship more effectively with experience. http://maplesyrup.sweet.coocan.jp/wows/ranking/index.html Enterprise average of rates players total battles exp damage caused warship destroyed aircraft destroyed base capture base defense survived kill / death spot damage 01/12/19 78 1739 1764 73207 1.11 21.42 0.68 5.09 78.88 5.26 69666 01/19/19 13 203 1556 67281 1.05 20.58 0.01 4.35 82.31 5.94 61445 01/26/19 11 171 1421 74743 1.04 21.19 0.22 4.4 78.94 4.94 63555 0.8.0 02/02/19 12 185 1518 43500 0.73 5.29 0.22 13.62 72.24 2.63 44905 02/09/19 73 1260 1824 49037 0.79 6.5 0.35 14.88 72.02 2.82 43823 02/16/19 46 773 1758 48968 0.73 6.78 0.47 14.21 71.02 2.52 49639 02/23/19 38 560 1712 49131 0.78 6.82 0.39 12.38 70.55 2.65 48184 03/02/19 33 596 1893 58525 0.87 8.01 0.97 10.09 79.35 4.21 44624 03/09/19 47 815 1680 51372 0.79 7.27 0.6 12.23 72.39 2.86 43723 03/16/19 33 630 1782 55851 0.96 7.67 0.69 14.84 73.34 3.6 39874 03/23/19 36 616 1702 56455 0.93 7.94 0.89 11.09 73.24 3.48 44161 03/30/19 32 551 1614 56024 0.87 6.41 0.55 12.44 77.19 3.81 42906 04/06/19 25 416 1782 65346 1.06 7.67 0.62 14.22 81.41 5.7 43488 04/13/19 59 1112 1634 52812 0.7 6.91 0.45 10.72 73.97 2.69 44477 04/20/18 397 7770 1858 59234 0.91 8.38 0.51 12.89 74.76 3.61 44211 04/27/19 367 7072 1964 64301 1 8.68 0.62 14 74.98 4 47146 05/04/19 no data 05/11/19 637 14682 2010 67311 1.07 8.15 0.5 13.11 76.06 4.47 47341 05/18/19 336 6735 2004 71028 1.15 8.4 0.54 14.16 76.21 4.83 47155 05/25/19 307 5647 2042 73917 1.19 8.43 0.78 15.13 78.65 5.57 47979
