I'm not surprised it's rock bottom here, but WG looks at how many players play CV. When that number drops, CV get buffed. They explained it nicely themselves. So no way I'm going to play WoWS !

yes, correct, but that would reduce CV popularity. so it's a no-go. as long as WG priorizes CV popularity over balance, this game will remain unfun to play.

it is pure horror indeed, although I had some fun at tiers 4 and 5 playing "AA escort" cruisers. I would simply escort the best BB player on my team if there was one - this also led to higher winrates.

this game never has been about "fair". not in the last 2 years anyway.

new matchmaking to increase CV popularity... hihihi

I just got to the Fubuki ... I was feeling happy about being a stealth torp ship, but it's impractical: - ship is horribly slow - ship turns like a brick - torpedoes are detected too early - 6 Km torpedoes for 7 Km detection range?? hello ? 3.1 Km detection by air ??? are all the rest of IJN torp ships that awful? I am thinking about giving up on that line completely I just noticed that my Bayern has a better turn radius than Fubuki... what is this joke? and then the better tops are available only after researching the hull for 10500 XP??

Brittany. Fairly common, though a lot died off in the past couple of decades.

nope, they just confirmed that they can't severely punish players who pay real money into the game, so they take team damage out.

Currently, there are skills and consumables that are situational, i.e. why would anyone take AA skills or use AA consumables when it's not sure that CV will be in play. I guess with subs coming, it will be the same with sonar skills, or with anti-sub charges as a consumable or as captain skill. Everyone will just use the skills and consumables that are the most likely to be useful, so the existence of the other anti-CV or anti-sub skills and consumables will have no effect on balance. Something to think about, WG.

actually, forget this thread and anything. I watched this video someone was kind enough to post in another thread. I guess WG will never properly balance CV and we can also expect submarines to be unbalanced because they need to be "popular". I was hoping they would get their stuff together at some point, but hell there is no way with such priorities. I especially love the official warning given to that guy who ran a division hunting CV. This was the lowest of the low. WOW. it's unsportsmanlike conduct to hunt down CV.

how about not being able to do either of it? if anything, they should divide by 2 spotting ranges of airplanes.

wow, thanks for that video. it's certainly an eye opener. time to stop playing (yes, again!). BTW, how is that "popularity" thing calculated? 20%? 22%? 24 players per battle, 1 CV on each side (which is already waaaay too much), would be 2/24 = 8.3% ? 1 CV every 3-4 battles would be bearable.

"one of those days again" I just stopped playing early in session, the last 3 days were a terrible gaming experience. After 3 or 4 weeks of doing alright, now it seems I can't win anymore and battles are CV-infested again. I swear there were less CV in the last 3 weeks before that. play DD, get spotted, play cruiser, get spotted, but when unspotted, fire your guns and get spotted. play BB, get torpedoed and bombed. no thanks

for every ship, AA is being carefully adjusted down until it doesn't matter.

not by me... because you don't play CV playing against CV feels like being harassed

the fix of the fix didn't work

this time unlinking and linking again didn't work.

yes. I claimed a twitch container and a mission yesterday, but I didn't get the drops. I will try the unlinking / linking now again.

nope - I use a mod that lets me zoom out in the ports, thus I was able to see that ports are only modeled so far as the views from around the ship show, with more detail near the ship, and the more you move away, the less detailed the models become. for example, zooming out, I can see buildings without windows or buildings that consist only of the facade wall.

it's properly infuriating. playing my best tier 4 and 5 ships, I'm at 30% today. most battles are double CV too. smile, you are permanently spotted, while two errand shots from a 40% WR Gangut scores 2 citadels from 14Km away...

you will murder a lot of planes do a service to the community with Devonshire, and possibly with Trento that being said, there is nothing you can do against unfair MM which seems to have come back for me

so true. and an absence of CV is plenty to ruin any AA cruiser's game.

yup. unfair matchmaking is back. after a longer pause, I did quite well, but this is now over. no reason to play any longer... again.

ramming is fatal UNLESS you spend resources and equip that signal. because a piece of fabric on your mast will dramatically change the outcome of a collision.

yes, that's correct annoying as hell
