Wait till you meet an AA specced Grozovoi... In all seriousness though, DD AA is nothing compared to DM. No matter what you say. What will happen is that you'll only spot him when under AA fire, so he'll have the "surprise" advantage. A DM will be spotted before he can shoot the planes down ( though a very narrow margin ). Just follow El2azers' advice and you should be more or less fine.

How could you be against that

And good DD players will play around radar, only the potatoes will get caught by radar time and time again. The so called "blanket" has holes in it that can be easily penetrated, but the easy game mode where a DD could just push in cap and smoke up without any chance of getting spotted is over and has been for a long time.

Slightly bigger healthpool, up the turret traverse to reach the lower 20s and range to like 15.5 Ish. Rof would be nice as well, but is prolly not going to happen.

Shall we then also remove the alpha of a BB so he can no longer one shot a full health CA, and while we're at it, shall we also remove the DD torpedo alpha so they can no longer onevolley a BB/CA?

I was actually worried, was hugging islands to much that nobody was shooting me. Thank god for the Montana that insisted on trying to kill me ( and ignoring the broadside Yamato at 4km from him ).

Please enlighten me as I have yet to see those arguments. So far all I've read in these topics are opinions...

And that's the core of the issue. Did WG mean for them to be anti BB? Same as DW torps, if they are meant to be an anti BB tool, well good, but they will hurt cruisers equally. Or the current Midway AP bombs, they hurt cruisers pretty hard as well. So yeah, maybe rather than making an anti something something, they ought to buff other classes?

As they are going the gimmicky way anyways, they could do this as well. It'll hurt other ships less and actually involves the skill of learning to reload the ammo that is appropriate, rather than the jack of all trades HE is atm. And the fact that we have a skill for it is just you showing a lack of imagination. Think outside the box man No need to make the AP worse, I don't have any issue with other BB. The issue is the "no brainer HE". BB AP in general is where it should be imo. The only way to reduce this HE is decrease its performance ( either the pen or the damage or the fire chance ).

If this ship were only an anti-BB BB I'd be okay with the current setup. Unfortunatly it isn't, because you also have DD, CA and CV in game. And those no brainer HE shells are the issue. Doesn't matter wheter I angle my CA or not, I'll take massive damage from the HE (raw damage) and lose plenty of modules as an "added bonus". And then after 30 sec we get a rinse repeat. You don't even need to think about your choice of ammo, just pick HE and you'll do damage ( aka dumbing down the game ). Now if I remember correctly, WG wanted to encourage switchting ammo with this ship ( so rather than shooting only AP, they wanted to give HE as a good option as well ). So why not tune down the HE a bit, but give the UK BB a faster ammo switch?

OP, you wrongly assume that everybody plays ranked. Of those that do play it you assume that they all play to get the maximum obtainable rank You also assume that all people reaching rank one do so because they know what they are doing, and not because they grinded over multiple 100 of games. If all your assumptions were in fact a reality, I could see a point in your suggestion....

He certainly aint no potato, but the 57% is probably buffed up due to a lot of division games. A quick glance at wows-numbers shows a "Great" WR and a "Good" PR, so he wins more than his PR shows. And yes, when looking at his solo games you see "Good" and "Good". This site isn't that bad after all. Plz do note that this still makes him a better player than a lot of the playerbase, just not the "Great" one his WR is showing.

Right, and tier VIII will solve this? You could argue that tier IX would solve this, as there is only one premium you can "buy" at that tier, but tier VIII? Come on, you know better than that?

Amazing idea, would love to join #1 Enterprise #2 Molotov #3 Doubloons #4 Doubloons #7 Doubloons #8 Tachibana

I'll agree with OP, if he wants to opt out of CV games he should be able to do so. However, every choice should have a consequence. Thus I propose that if you opt out of CV games ( aka I don't want to meet 25% of the classes in Wows) you: - earn 25% less XP and credits; - cannot complete weekly missions, challanges and campaigns; - are banned from posting in any CV related topic on the forums. If that suits you? Be my guest.

Or just stay out of radar range. Shooting is very very risky. Ofc UK CL were seriously affected by it. Not denying that. All I commented was the way WG is pushing MK into longe range spamming.

MK was affected in the sense that people pushing with it cannot keep firing from smoke when getting close. If you only use it as long range spammer the effect was negligable. So WG forces the ship in that role and less so in a ship that moves up closer?

Two ships I own don't run CE, Cleveland (19p captain with IFHE and AA spec) and Khaba (19p but you're shooting anyways, speed is your ally). All others: run it for reasons stated above.

Oh yeah, show that memo to my clanmates cause we never got that one. If you want to call me a potato go ahead, namecalling just shows your true character once more. Then again, seems like you missed the memo as well? But hey, everyone else here agreed with you, no?

Ever tried playing them OP?

Free stuff = free stuff. You want more free stuff and you're not getting it? a) stop playing till more free stuff arrives b) play anyways and deal with it, it is after all still free stuff As for the "I need more free stuff to compensate for the weekend warriors", newsflash: you get those so called "weekend warriors" on normal weekdays as well.

Because obviously WR alone determines if somebody is a potato in a certain ship. It's not like you can buff WR by playing division. Or statpad by playing lowtier sealclubbers like Nikolai ( yes mtm : D ). WR alone is just terrible when so much more data is known.

+1

I guess most of the DD players in PA DDs didn't get the memo that their torps DON'T hit other DDs. So sad... Really, so sad...

To add to what previous posters said, even in one line you could/need to switch. It depends if you are grinding a line, it if you want to keep a ship. So yeah, you'll need to be specific.
