Perhaps they would, but then BBs would not be played at all; because in real life CV eliminated them from the ocean.

Ships on European server Two Weeks Teir 6 (Non-Premium) XP Farragut 18/25 Hatsuharu 19/25 Ernst Gaede 20/25 Fubuki 23/25 Gnevny 24/25 Out of 25 tier 6 ships, non-Premium DDs average very low in EXP compared to other ships. Were you talking about a specific tier?

I will just talk about one Japanese DD, Hatsuharu. Long term, gun damage is never going to amount to very much, and will always remain a secondary weapons. It needs to be used selectively and intelligently. The main weapons system is torpedoes, and because of that, maintaining stealth is far more important than causing small amounts of damage with guns. You avoid straight up gun battles if you can, as gun damage will never average out. Finishing off weaken ships, firing before going behind island, in smoke, while the target is engage with someone else, etc That doesn't mean you don't use them, but in general this advise is sound for using guns: “Corporal Nobbs,” he rasped, “why are you kicking people when they’re down?” “Safest way, sir,” said Nobby.

So in my DD, I smoke up my team mates and scout, so they can cause damage(gain experience points)... we win I get nothing? Why would any DD support his team vs causing damage?

Pretty much this. It is possible that with Radar on BBs the game dynamic could change.

From my perspective (Mid-Tier DD player) 1. Agreed, but Japanese DDs can cause massive damage also, as can other DDs. 2. Not generally, it does happen, but usually it is because the player has made a mistake or multiple ones. 3. Risk-less? It doesn't appear that way to me. 4. I like this option,as a DD player why wouldn't I, but it might throw off game balance too much. If a CV cross drops my DD he should hit a torpedo, but if I can make one of them panic? An interesting idea.

What are you talking about?

Absolutely.

My response was to valrond.

As someone pointed out, this off topic... not really "some interesting info from RU". Ok if we let it go?

So, your conclusion is if you are in a DD or CA then CV are a counter, but not BBs? Do you see a problem with this meta?

Server wide stats. Server wide nothing seems to be showing up, but it could be more complex than just raw damage numbers.

Colorado Dmg All Time 41,867 Last Two Weeks 43,089 It seems like Colorado damage may be up a bit. Perhaps it is tied to a specific BB. Tirpitz Dmg All Time 50,568 Last Two Weeks 52,885

Witch hunt? Maybe you are correct and all BBs are now suffering from a glitch in the game code. It could happen. I think we can be assured that if this is a server wide issue there will be other that notice and bring to the forum also. Let see what happens.

201 PvE 375 PvP Battles WR Dmg Sh☠ Srv MBH Colorado 112 (PvP) 45.54% 33,015 0.5 31% 19% Server Average 48.93% 43,852 0.7 46% 23% Colorado is you most played ship in PvP, but you are not doing server average in many critical areas. It looks like you may have progressed to far to fast. You are missing some fundamentals through lack of experience.

By your logic, WW2 actually start 7 Dec 1941. That European war was just a European issue. It wan't truly global. "We can never forget here in this island that Austria was the first victim of Nazi aggression. The people of Britain will never desert the cause of the freedom of Austria from the Prussian yoke". Winston Churchill February 18, 1942 "British historian A. J. P. Taylor, who held that the Sino-Japanese War and war in Europe and its colonies occurred simultaneously and the two wars merged in 1941." When did WW2 start, when the two separate wars merged? 7 Dec 1941. Not my belief but it is an interesting view.

WW2 did not start in Europe in 1939.

Not for Czechoslovakia, Ethiopia, or China.

What we have now... or are at least close... is one type of ship that performs all roles. BBs. The result is +40% population of BB, which is generally not health in these types of games.

Your opinion?

I didn't really comment of US vc IJN CV balancing... my lack of experience make my opinion... uninformed. Just commenting on balance between classes.

How does it prove your point? Doesn't it allow CV to counter BBs more effectively?

Has it? Then what are these AP bombs about?

No, the point is class balance.
