Thats for atleast some part how WG earns money on the game. So why wouldnt they? If someone is willing to pay money for a ship they already own in another color, they would be unwise not to capitalize on it.

And this is supposed to be fun for those ships? Some sort of endgame where the CVs battle it out while the rest dies?

I dodged every rocket the CV fired at my speedy boi Leningrad!

13:00 (UTC +1) is when the first CBS start. Asia I believe.

Dear diary....

https://forum.worldofwarships.com/topic/182539-clash-at-the-carnaval-the-maskarados-bounty-8th-to-10th/ This seems like good fun! Why can't we have this on EU as well?

Guys, it is no so much about the carnivals (give it another name or theme for all I care) but it just seemed fun to me that killing certain opponents gives you some extra goodies. Sure, if you ignore the other enemies and go out of your way just to kill that one person than it doesnt work the way that it is intended.

Pay attention to the direction the CV is attacking you from and try to gain a perpendicular course to his attack run. At the last second when he is starting his drop, full brake and turn into his attack. A tashkent does not turn as well as other tier 9 destroyers but it is not a Kurfurst either. Hitting the brakes at the last second and turning in should make it pretty difficult for the cv to get a good drop on you.

See Nooby? Just as @Mr_Snoww pointed out: Just play 18.000 battles and you will have plenty of free xp.

Yeah almost impossible right? but what I was thinking was: people now atleast know there is a ship (DD) in their spotting range so they can take evasive manoeuvres. When spotted they know they are prone to longe range bb snipes if they do not take evasive manoeuvres. If this skill is removed people will either get blapped or torp every time without a single warming. That makes them sit back until all enemies are spotted.

I don't think it's a good idea because people would get devstruck a whole lot more thus resulting in an ever more passive meta.

Sure, let me stay with my unreliable and unknown teammates for air cover while im doing 8-12 knots less at max speed and while my enemy does 180 knots through the air.

Some people think I'm just a statshaming elitist who gets off on his own stats or something, I'd be glad to help you improve. If you're up for it. I'd be honored to view a few of your replays and give some constructive criticism. Just as I did for @Toni112007. The forum is always very helpful if you ask for help. Lately my games have been less fun because of too many ultra-bad players in them resulting in 7min 1000-0 games. That's why I am so worried about your ambition to reach tier 10 asap.

*looks at your T9 stats* I'm sorry but I do worry. A lot actually.

If you mean when you learn how to drive cars you can probably drive any car, then yes that is exactly what I am saying. Despite all the changes to the game and meta I can still get decent results in most of the silver US/Jap ships. They still play more or less the same with the weaknesses and strengths.

It is still ships shooting ships am I right? What are you trying to say? Apart from CV-gameplay every other class still plays more or less the same. Some ships gets powercreeped, it happened three years ago and it happens now.

The core of the game stays the same apart from the cv rework. Even with new ships being introduced, remodeled maps, etc. you can do well, if you play well. I took a break from the game and could play my ships at more or less the same level as i did before. Did the game change? Most certainly. But I didnt forget all the strenghts and weaknesses of the ship. The OP proclaiming the playerbase is at fault for his abysmal winrate has nothing to do with a changing game (or even playerbase) but everything with an unchanging player.

When you've played 15000 games you should be in the top three of the xp leaderboar simply by having such a sheer experience advantage. You probably have played more games than any player on your team. The fact that this is not the case and you complain about having lost these matches, suggests that you think you are a top-performer and that the team/MM is at fault. Take a look your own gameplay and then try to improve. Look at your own positioning, target selection, aiming, etc. etc. There is always somewhere where you can improve. As to your question: The playerbase will become worse and worse. A greater % of the games will become uncarriable (even for superunicums).

Weekends man.... But there is no salvaging teams like this:

Low tier is just sh!t to play as a DD right now. Each game there are four carriers. Can someone tell me how you are supposed to be of any use when youre perma spotted the entire game in a T3-5 DD by double squadrons of planes?

Comparing apples and oranges. Also: Maybe reach tier 9 first?

Still sucks since the match will be practically 11v12. Anyway, I don't mind if people want to splash the cash on these ships. Keeps the servers running sort of say. But it is yet another one of those things that will make the quality of the matches go down and will increase the skill gap even further. Sad, but it is the way it is and the way it will be.

"I hate to say I told you so, but... wait, no. I love saying that. I TOLD YOU SO!"

How many times have you guys gone into stealth with a sliver of health left? Lots of times right? How many times will you go into stealth with a sliver of health left when there is a CV around? Right. never. Because in a clanbattle environment the enemy CV will always use his planes to either keep low hp targets spotted or to finish them off himself. CVs in a 7v7 gamestyle will be massively overpowered and influential, as shown by the screenshots provided by @Tyrendian89 (and that is 9v9 so just imagine 7v7). I can pull this one again: The clanbattles gamemode is pretty polished as it is. Lets keep it that way.
