Maybe I play them because I'd feel like a douche stealthfiring the poor bb players? Maybe I'm just a very considerate person?

Doesn't mean the mechanic makes the game better. I think the game will be better without it.

I wouldn't know

I'm at 44 straight 'Try your luck' containers without getting a Super. Much worse ratio than before the patch.

It's a boring mechanic that should go away. BBs can easily be nerfed, or invisifiring ships buffed afterwards if needed.

...or they get preferential MM by WG because of the conspiracy. Could be that too

Not really, but I think WG could take radarships into consideration just like they do with gun dds. Now with Missouri having radar, you can end up with several cruisers + OP Missouri with radars in one team, and none or few in the other. Usually a nice advantage for the team with radars. I'd say it's similar to having gun dds vs borderhug dds.

I'm sure it is. Just shows there's a real issue.

Did you read the OP? It seems you did not get the content of the post.

...and it's only people with high WR who are proponents of the idea. I wonder why

I even posted a smilie behind it.. I think you're drawing the conclusions you like, dismissing valid arguments as you please. You like your Khaba and that's fine. I know. Good nerf. Still seems to be doing very good though. Still not very vulnerable, but a bit more than before. You're correct in that I haven't got much clue about armour dynamics. Cruisers still seem to have trouble sinking Khabas, but maybe a a nerf to armour is a bad idea. So are there any players who perform better in Gearing, Shima or German tier 10 than in Khaba?

- Compared to the other tier 10 dds. It's well above in WR over the last weeks. How would you interpret the stats? - It still seems to overperform. Nothing more to it. - I switch to AP at times when meeting Khaba, although that's not ideal either, but mostly I spot and torp them. Gunfights vs good Khaba players are often lost in my experience. I don't mind it having the upper hand in most fights vs other dds. Thing is that even cruisers seem to have a hard time hitting it and damaging it, unless it's positioned itself poorly. It already has the ability to get away from most fights. Now it will be able to heal too. Making it easier to hit isn't an option, so maybe it should be a bit more prone to taking damage. It's just a bit too OP and too trolly at the moment and I'm sure the bb community agree

So.. what are those words? I saw a smilie after my first post. ..or did you mean 'no' words? Sorry, but interpreting posts can be difficult at times. I'm guessing you found it funny I could state an opinion regarding a ship I don't have. Since you've got several high tier dds, including Khaba - you don't think Khaba will be slightly OP with heal?

Well, your WR is a good deal higher in Khaba vs in Gearing, so you don't want Khaba nerfed..? I'm just concerned about the bbs you're abusing..

I thought another nerf was coming for the overperforming Khaba. Instead it gets a heal, making it so much harder to kill. If played at suitable distance - how does one kill it? Oh well, I predict it will be even more OP for a while and then get a nerf to its armour.

A little bit above 30M. I think I've got around 40 ships. Not about to buy any soon, but the tier 5 German dd, Yorck, Fiji and Des Moines is coming up in a while. Looks like WG is too generous in the new economy.

I think I stumbled upon Leo_Apollo today, in his fiji. Either him or one of the numbered clones... On Loop, same team. Pretty calm and easy win, didn't even get a scratch . Good game, nice to see you.

There are many different play styles for the same ship, but usually you do a few roles to fulfil. Destroyers need to cap, or harass, cruisers should usually support and kill dds, etc. I've heard RN cruisers are tough to play and that might be true for higher tiers, but I'd argue high tier capping dds have become much harder to play due to introduction of new classes and more powerful tools for cruisers. I'm not entirely sure of the role of tier 10 German dd. It looks like a counter for US dds, but is it effective as that? That one might be tricky to play. For me it's the Gearing. You're expected to cap and to hunt down enemy dds, but you're a fairly large target that get focused the second you're spotted. You can't do much against Khabas either. I think it's the ship I play that requires most from me to get right. This isn't primarily about underpowered ships, but about ships where you play the role intended and find demanding.

Could it be something in line of the detonation mechanic? Self-combustion?

Isn't it just to shoot everything that moves and avoid getting too close to bbs? It was a while since I played Cleveland, but at that time it was one of the easier ships. Quite tanky for a cruiser.

I'm curious to know how this is working out for WG.. Have you invested a lot of money due to your losing habits? I could understand that companies might want to increase their customers spending, but it seems a bit more straight forward to, for example, release an OP ship just before ranked season, than to ...profile their customers and put them in bad teams so they will spend more money..? Are you becoming an addicted player by losing, aviaxis?

Seems reasonable to earn some XP for doing a dangerous duty..

A good way to promote teamwork and a reason for bbs to advance? ..plus some needed love for the bb captains

It's fairly obvious the premium cruisers are outperforming the standard in ranked, but I'm not sure heal is the best solution. The ships will still be plain worse, just now with prolonged suffering. I'll wait and see what treatment WG comes up with. Nerfing smoke and radars perhaps?

Well, that's another issue. Maybe make ships firing from inside smoke visible for 2-3s? I wouldn't mind.
