I also like to run IFA. It only takes 1 Salvo to ruin your game and having every bit of info to prevent that seems useful to me.

OK boomer

They have to change things every once in a while for a plethora of reasons. If they didnt the game would be long dead. Accept change or you're playing the wrong game kiddo.

Isoruku, you probably drank too much vodka camrad. In Sovjet Russia, you restitute state, not other way around.

It was. Fell truly in love with it back in the day and played a ton of it as you can see by my battle count. Too bad WG figured out they could earn sh!ttons of money of off b******t premiums and early access shenanigans. Honestly up until some point i was really looking forward to each update because the game would get noticably better each update. I'd even suggest the game to friends back in the day. Now it seems like they are stuffing more and more content down our throats to either grind or buy, completely disregarding ingame balance or enjoyment. Just look at these new upcoming ships..... like WHUT?! The game would be better off and more enjoyable without thunderer, FDR, Smolensk, petropavlovsk, kremlin, etc. etc. etc.

Yes. Ever declining skill-level of the players and ever ongoing powercreep to keep customers chasing the carrot results in a declining gaming experience for veterans like us. Newer players who don't know "how it used to be" will not experience the current game like that because they cannot compare.

Sounds like you had a fun gaming experience and that is what playing videogames is all about, right?

No. Just use HE to set fires and on DDs/ angled targets. For the rest use AP, because nevsky AP is really good.

Yugumo's. The number of actually capable Yugumo players I've met in five years is probably countable on one hand. The rest was just mind-boggling bad. Often they will not use their guns even if the target is on 1 hp and the points are about to tick to 1000.... "Im A tOrPeDo sHiP", no you're a waste of oxygen, that is what you are. "SHOOT YOUR GUNS! YUGUMO SHOOT YOUR GUNS!!!! RRREEEEEEEEEEEE ANSJFOFHWHSUDBFHWKWBSHSH" rip desk

Zzzzzzzz people create their opinion based on the biased video's of CCs alone these days... Flambass could have done the same in a Zao. Maybe he even picked the best game to make his "point". No wonder Wargaming did what they did with the NDA. Played a few rounds of Austin myself and as a Light Cruiser aficionado I wasnt blown of my socks. Its fun, yes. But far from OP. If this ship is OP then radar Mino is OP^infinite.

Is this an undercover reeeeeeAustinOP-thread?

Ah yes, firing HE twice every minute from max range is indeed the epitome of skill. hurr durr 457mm goes brrrrrrrr

Cvs are already pretty balanced: Nobody plays them

You're not a Snowflake. But the general consensus is: stop giving a sh!t about karma. See it as a compliment, both positive and negative karma. When positive: you played well and your team complimented you. When negative: you played well and the salty enemies reported you. Win win situation.

100% agreed. Helping your teammates win fights is always a good thing. But i was under the impression that "saving teammates" meant serving as a smoke slave or meat shield. So in that regard i agree with @NikolayKuznetsov.

"Letting teammates die", indeed sounds bad. "Not trying to save obvious potatoes from certain death", sounds a whole lot better and is in fact very beneficial to your own survival and in return will increase your winrate. You will never see super unicum players try to smoke up a random friendly in randoms who is running into his immenent death, simply because they're unreliable. That is exactly the reason. Most players are too unksilled to be worthy of saving. Why should i risk my own ship to try to save xXx_BismarckSniper1940_xXx who makes a stupid push while he should have kited?

Good arguments.

That sounds like "buff CV to inflate player numbers-time" to me.

Oh right. And 17900HP and on J-line flanking duty.

That is indeed how DDs are meant to be played, unlike what the hordes of 20km shimas's would like to make you believe.

sure mate.

Remember when BBs complained about HE spam? They've become the very thing they swore to destroy.

whoa whoa whoa.... didnt you know we're all sweaty tryhards here?

You call them brawlers, I call them yolo'ers. And I can't say that I find them an improvement over backline campers....
