Can you elaborate on how exactly you gathered feedback. As in, was this: - a fixed questionnaire every clan ( or individual member ) had to fill out, - was this a small discussion with representatives ( if so, were there fixed questions or just talk and say whatever pops up ) - was there just a request to submit their findings.

Same as 5 BB and 5 DD depending on what class you're playing in that game. I do agree that they should try to balance the amount between the teams ( and remove them from that BB ... )

I could agree if all ships have them, however as it stands now a lot of ships don't have to grind + buy upgrads ( Yamato cough cough, Des Moines, Zao... ) and than some can( Conqueror ) and others have to ( Shimakaze most notably ). So just why not eaqualise it for all tier X?

Zoom out a bit and aiming is easier ( aka they are not on these edge of your screen )

Because that's all they can rent

You probably misunderstood me. I was not referring to the top clans, but rather go all these other ones.

And those clans will also lack a full complement of decent BB, CA and DD players. So why not impose a max number of DD and CA as well? Why limit thé renting choises so heavily? An average player will struggle tot do well in all CA and DD, yet he cannot choose the DD that fits his playstyle...

Where do you get the 90% value? Accessible and tier X don't go hand in hand, yes there is renting but limited ships and no camo.... Sorry if we are ranting about CV balance, but unfortunately WGs' track record in this topic kinda proves that ATM is been going on for years and the end isn't there yet...

So @MrConway this means I need to respec all my tier X captains and ships every time I switch between randoms and clan battles ( no reason for ANY AA skills or upgrades in clan battles). How will you fix this? I have a solution, for every tier X I own, give me a second one with the same level captain and free upgrades. For all I care this second ship can only be used in clan battles and it should be removed after clan battles' season. But I will not respec (and pay money) and will not play with suboptimal ships (in clan battles) just because you decided to remove one and a half class of ships. So WG, how will you fix this?

Have you sent a ticket to support already?

No worries, was an all round crap game for me. Izumo RNGs decided not to be home, and well ...

Thanks, some flags and 25 St Patricks day camo

Very nice list that sums up my major concerns as well, I only have some remarks on these points: - Dispersion: actually having better dispersion means you need to aim, that's why I hate dodging German BB at range, their shells will litteraly land everywhere, ungrouped as if no aiming was done. So they spread over a larger area and have more chance to hit ( and usually citadel, cause RNGezus favors German BB :p ) than a BB that requires you to aim with a smaller spread. Another reason why German BB are so popular, your shells will almost always hit if your aim is off, cause terrible dispersion. - I disagree on Kongo, I feel that ship is still in a good spot. The others, you're right. - Detonation in ranked and competitive can be solved by adding a flag. Easy as that, it's a mandatory flag to put on.

Somehow I have a feeling that this might not be the whole story.... Anyways, OP, you don't know much about online gaming and forums I take it? If you wanted to leave the game, just leave and be done with it. Yet you had to come to the forums and start complaining, naming & shaming for what purpose? To wake the forum trolls, to hope the community would support you ( note: provide replay that shows exactly that and you might, but otherwise: coll story bruh )?

So you got sunk by a CV, that has a lower WR than you do ( which is still infinitesimally better than your CV WR ) and therefore you conclude that CVs are hard to play and an enrichment go the game. It raises a few questions: - By the 'logic' you employ, if you were to get killed in your GK by a NO with a worse WR than you, then you have proof that CA are not hard to play and are no enrichment to the game, if you were to get killed in your Baltimore by a Pensacola with a worse WR than you, then you have clear proof that Pensa is not hard to play and no enrichment to the game... ( see where I'm going with this? Your so called 'logic' isn't ) - Provide a replay of the game to show how he killed you, who knows, maybe you made a mistake and got punished for it, or maybe he was trying to torp a ship next to you and failed miserably, or maybe he had amazing RNG with his DB. All of these are unknown factors. And rather than providing these, you'll start a rant with some random guys' statistics as 'proof'.

You do realise we're talking about clan wars. The biggest part of the player base ins't even in a clan. I doubt actually being in one will be less restrictive than playing tier X. New players: highly doubt this is the public WG is targetting with clan wars. Non premium players who cannot upkeep a tier X ship. See, the aim of tier X was never to be self sufficient. You could upkeep them by: buying premium camo, premium ships, premium time, flags ( so all about WG making some money ) and you can actually also keep them going by playing lower tiers. So if you can't keep a tier X with any of these measures, you might not want to play tier X. And in all honesty, I think tier X has the most balance between ship due to the lack of premiums ( but we never know, they might add some in the future? )

So you want your CV to always be top tier? That is possible, it's called tier X CV. Yes it's annoying, but always top tier = a lot of easy tier VI kills. So no, unless you wouldn't mind nerfing them a bit because they won't meet higher tiers?

What's the effect of def AA like on these bombers? Cause no matter how much I seem to turn and change speed combined with Def AA, these HE bombs always seem to hit my destroyer and do some nice damage. Is there an incentive to pick manual drops over automatic? Or can you get by with only auto drop?

Care to explain why this is a bad idea?

You'll need CVs for spotting purposes, in front to spot enemy DDs before they spot yours, to spot torps, to spot radar ships being sneaky behind islands... They'll be less of a damage dealer, but the intel they provide is vital.

It'll depend on the strategies as well. I don't see much use for minotaur tho ( spotter planes on BB will be kinda mandatory anyways )( and radar will be used a lot as well I think ). In general maybe Henri might do okay as well? Kinda hard to predict

Please do, that line is actually quiet fun to play. All of them really.

Off course they should, and all current owners will only be able to play said ship again when they have the difference in free XP to unlock the ship again.

Can't argue with that, experiences are personal. Though the biggest buff to more movement was the nerf to the 20km wall of skill :)
