Kiev is a good example of what is yet to come for you in the RU DD line. HP pool of upgraded ships above is better, but you'll find that you don't always have the higest HP in a match ( as using the extra HP skill is not the most useful to pick imo ). You'll keep those great firing arcs, amazing stalinium and great speed. However, your turning is crap, torpedoes will get slightly better ( but they are a secondary weapon anyways, your primary weapons are your guns ). They will remain very big, however ( bar the Tashkent ), they are not easy to hit because of their speed ( with exception of RU CA who will hit you every time ). So you'll have to master the Kiev, or you'll have issues higher up the line: pick your fights carefully, know when to disengage, try and keep max range from CA and BB ( your arcs will still make you hit ) and select wisely between HE and AP.

I'll remember this the next time you talk about nerfs and buffs. I can just dismiss everything you say, cause you cannot be trusted. See how crazy I sound? Now read your text again...

I honestly don't know what you were smoking when posting this, but it sure is some good ****. Number of torpedoes on Midway is 6 or 0. Hakuryu has a minimum of 8. How you make a deduction from dropping torps with Bogue ( tier V ) to making Hakuryu ( tier X ) harder to use is making no sense. I to want two torp squads on USN CV but that aint going to happen, so it'll be DB all the way I guess. Also, IJN line is not inferior, no way

It's been a while since we had oe of these posts, so let me indulge OP: how should WG change radar so it's no longer OP? Give me concrete propositions to prove this aint another whining post.

First of all: read above, a lot of stats can be found everywhere. No need to lie about yours, the fact that you do this baffles me. More to the point: you get reported in 7 ( or 6 ) games, which is every BB game: this signifies that there is something wrong with your playstyle. Otherwise you wouldn't get reported in every game. If you really want to know what that is: - talk to people who report you, pop a chat window after game - enable replays, upload them and ask some people on the forum to have a look at them Also: surviving in a BB doesn't always mean playing well. Capping in a BB does not always imply that you play well. All of this is situational.

The current system forces you to make choices for your captain, allowing an unlimited amount of skills removes this option. Also, there are people who will only play low tier games ( which is okay ) giving them access to unlimited amount of skills on a captain will increase the seal clubbing even more.

Yes, imbalanced MM happens to everyone. Sometimes you get unlucky, other times it'll favour you. In the end, it'll all balance out. Needless to say WG should try to fix it ( mostly divisions messing it up ), but people: you get lucky as well, don't see any of us posting about how lucky MM was for us today and messed up the enemy team?

Mirrored CV is prolly the best thing they introduced. As for hard counters: there are other counters to a BB: DD maybe? It's not the sole purpose of the CV if that's what you think I was aiming for

He does not have to sacrifice everything for it, my NC was perfectly capable of fighting other ships and fending of waves of tier VIII planes. The fact that I can do this solo means that the aa is overpowered. A BB isn't supposed to be a solo ship... So I suggest you play some shokaku and come tell me again NC AA won't kill all your planes. Also I am not asking for an I win button, I don't mind losing all my planes do multiple ships ( whatever they are ) sailing together, I don't even mind losing all of them on a solo CA. But a solo BB should not be able to solo yolo and fend of planes ( that is an I win button as well btw )

Because a cv can strike across the entire map, also: MM will not balance these two divisions against eachother. MM might have flaws but if this suggestion is to counter my idea, come again.

I would love it if this were the only truth, unfortunatly nowadays there are BBs who solo yolo around and manage to kill as much planes as their CA tier companions. That's just ridiculous and has nothing to do with skill. Those same BB drivers will also complain that they get focussed by a CV ( cause being solo ) and that they get focussed by a DD with torps ( cause solo yolo ). That's why this aa buff is just ridiculous. You talk about a hard counter, in my book a CV is a hard counter to a BB, so a CV should be able to deal a nice amount of damage to an unsuported BB without too much interference, unfortunatly this is kinda screwed in some cases.

Now that we are talking about L2P, maybe time to change defensive fire. It's a button you just have to push and you'll create huge dispersion on incoming plane ammunition. All it takes is one push, not really skillfull play. At least make them select planes or something?

I highly doubt this statement, but I guess I'm just a scrub who doesn't know this game cause I have lower winrate? If you really feel that your team isn't supporting you enough: - pick a ship that allows you to carry a game, - be nice in chat and give pointers to people, real newbies do tend to listen, - play higher tiers, while players might be absolute cowards from time to time, the amount of solo players is a lot less than low tier games and people tend to know their shipclass ( well mostly ),

Your AA rating won't save you if you don't manoeuver and/or go in solo without cruiser support. One might argue that you are wining that BB isn't easy enough?

What aerroon said on AA ability is correct, as there is no real choice between hydro - aa ability ( except on German cruisers maybe ), other cruisers all take that ability so they will mess up my drop horribly. So skip CA from the active hunting list. As it stands, BB can also kill CA pretty easily ( if they are in proper range, aka not sniping from the back ). DDs can be hunted down, and most cv players will do this, but generally speaking you can spot them so the cruisers can finish them. Yes you could go for a cross drop with an IJN CV, but that's such a waste of dmg potential if a friendly cruiser is nearby. So I prefer to go for BB as I can use my torps more effectively there. And with dive bombers I've given up trying to hit DDs, way too much RNG involved. Is this farming damage? Sure, you could call it farming damage, same as a BB shelling another BB, or a cruiser shelling HE on a BB. It's all farming damage, but that damage will help kill the BB faster, which in the end is the purpose no? And if that BB is sailing alone, he should get wrecked by planes, just as a CA broadside to a BB at 8 k should get wrecked. There are some mistakes that should be punished instantly.

You are joking right? A CV should not hunt BBs but go for CAs? Those are the ships that provide, like you know ... erm ... aa cover? So in my carrier I must go waste my planes on them?

And logic dictates that since you hide your stats you are an expert in no ships. So show your stats or stop commenting on other peoples stats.

Yeah figured you were one of those kids who refuse to play a ship that requires some skill, so just complain every week that your easy ship got changed. Deal with it or stop playing it and play another ship. Easy no?

Another kid talking. So I don't know? Then explain it to me, but I guess that's to hard for you...

I don't care about your stats, what I do care is peope talking about other people's stats while theirs are hidden. And yes, saying: you have no experience in that ships so shut up can only be deduced from looking at their stats. The fact that I play the IJN line is to try something else. Not because it's an amzing ship, cause tbh: the long waiting time between torpedoes just annoys the ********* out of me. Just give me my Khabarovsk where I can zig zag around, landing shells all around me. More my play style, but a friend told me to try the IJN DD, so I will. As for being clueless, I haven't played them, but I've seen a lot of them in game, and generally those sitting in the back, spamming torps from max range tend to do pretty bad. Those that go in closer, scout a bit and know they alsoe have great guns do a lot better ( better = results screen at the end of the battle ). So in that regard: I don't see how this nerf / balance whatever you want to call it changed them. Bad players will have a harder time, good players as well, but less. If that means I'm clueless, then I guess people can only talk about the ships they actually play at the moment cause else they don't know?

Baltimore is one of my least favourite cruisers, but it opens up the gates to Des Moines heaven, and that Des Moines is a beast. It's a pre nerf Cleveland on steroids. The Udaloi is an amazing destroyer, so much better than Tashkent and it leads to Khabarovsk, also an amazing ship.

You've still got a lot of time left, if all, jut focus on some ships of each class that you really enjoy playing and you'll get there.

Then show us your stats so we can interpret them as well, cause nothing is more entertaining than a guy talking you know jack crapand he doesn't show what he knows himself Also, why are they nice for me? I've recently started skilling up the IJN DD line ( yes only at Fubuki so far, hence: recently ). So now explain to me why I have no clue?

LOL @ two posts above, commenting on people's stats while keeping yours hidden is just lame Now sort those statistics by amount of games played and you'll see they are miles ahead. Untill this more or less balances out ( because no more easy free riding ) the IJN DD are still OP.

A BB and CA can also choose their opponents, they don't have to shoot at everything they see and they can also reposition. But I'm guessing you meant: they can't decided if the CV engages them? Which is not entirely true: sail as a group and you have stronger AA, most CVs won't engage a group of ships as this equals to losing a lot of planes and dealing very little damage. As for tightening matchmaking: it would make games boring. And in the end, it'll balance itself.
