It seems okay, but the info must be a week old on the site. Didn't know about it. @BabyKim: Thanks for the explanation. Good to know.

It's on the russian internet so I just assumed it was correct. http://wows-numbers.com/ships/ How is it possible that both tier 10 cvs have a WR of well below 50%?

Probably. I know they nerfed the dd xp gain and that's okay, but I'm wondering if people think it's fair at the moment? Do people gain the same amount of xp in a well played bb game as in a dd game? or in average games? A good bb and dd player - where is it easiest to earn xp?

That's old though. I think they already admitted IJN dds are underperforming. Except the premium one. So... Interesting to see that Khaba still is doing very well and that the German dds are fine despite complaints. ..and US dds aren't OP apparently.

It's the worst bb of its tier apparently. Power creep makes the OP slightly correct maybe?

People get frustrated by simple detection mechanics. It helps to know if it's a plane or a ship that's keeping you spotted. Once and awhile you're detected by something - nothing around you could detect you without you detecting it, still you're detected.. most likely by the Target Acquisition Module. ..but you never know, because there's no way of knowing.. people don't answer this in chat. Since you're kind enough to show whether it's a plane, visually or a radar/hydro you're being spotted by, please add Assured Acquisition to these symbols.

Outside smoke, behind an island - a ship with Target Acquisition mod. See, even a veteran like yourself get it wrong. Would be less frustrating with a symbol.

Yes, it does. Someone spots you within smoke without radar/hydro and without you seeing them, or them spotting you behind an island.. odd things that could be explained by that mod. Edit... and of course not RPF..

That's no reason. esit: Didn't I just spot you running for the border in a Des Moines? You kept your team afloat a good while Out of compliments for the day though..

I like it. High tier US dds suit me

I'm not so much disappointed at the skill tree, but I have no interest in wasting money on retraining captains. Atm I've got a few cruisers with specced captains and only Fletcher half specced as high tier dd. There are a few skills I'm still undecided on and that means I'm holding off most ships until it's clearer.. I wonder how large the drop off was after the latest patch. Might not all be connected to disappointment, but some due to uncertainty of the skills.

Maybe don't push without support during weekends?

And here I thought people were happy about the weekend and being able to play a game of their choice. Instead it's another whine thread about people losing more games than they rightfully deserve

Highest spotting damage in Fletcher: 251 091 Highest potential damage in Baltimore: 2 627 970

"Unless you reward me well enough, I'm not playing your stupid game!" No such thing as playing a game for fun?

I think I'll stay out of ranked this season. Belfast and Scharnhorst seem like the ship to sail.

Still not sure about RPF. There are obvious benefits in some ships, but it's a 4p skill. I think the benefit of the skill in comparison to other skills weighs over when you're sure you can cooperate well with other ships - team battles, clans, perhaps ranked and if you play in 3-man divisions. Otherwise it feels like a toss-up. The same as when you go for AA or not before the battle. Edit: The added effectiveness of divisions with RPF isn't a great thing, imo. I wonder why RPF was introduced in the first place.. It's not like the games are better now, but maybe they are planning to introduce larger maps and bigger battles. ..or submarines

I was about to start the same thread just the other day. In the current implementation, games with cvs are plain worse. It's like seeing Bastion show up. Influences gameplay too heavily, too much impact regardless of cv-players being good or bad. Much worse if there's a skill difference though.

Unless there are cvs in the game I may tell my team I'll try contest or cap solo if possible, withdraw to next cap if necessary. Depends on the situation.

AB all the way. dd rushes A through channel, provides a large smoke screen in A. Rest come in through channel covered by smoke and shell anyone who close in on A. No radar cruiser is able to pop radar this early and be close enough, and if that would happen, there are plenty of escape routes for a dd in that position. From there it's just pushing north to help cap B. Win every time

Maybe they used RPF?

Played plenty of high tier US dd games, and a few Baltimore games, with the RPF skill to try it out. It doesn't wreck the game, but it doesn't make the game better either. It's not a useless skill in any way, but the game feels a bit less fun with this skill.

...and this analysis comes from immense testing, or just sheer intelligence?

Capping at start is even more of a nervewrecking mindbattle now. I've started flinging torps where the RPF points me to and I see better aimed torps coming for me at start. It changes the start of games as it's more dangerous to cap when you're located. Interesting.. I think dd players are due for a raise though

I became a 22% WR player by picking RPF
