Sort of, but then sort of not. The seven commandments were painted on the wall and were supposed to be the commands of Lenin (Old Major), but every time the pigs became more like the humans the other animals would check the wall and find that the commandments didn't say what they thought they did, so in a sense "more equal than others" were Lenin's words because that's what the commandments (now) said and the commandments were given by Lenin. -
Heavy cruisers, useless in this meta

The problem is that BB/DD get their big performance jump from T7 to T8. -

Round 2 was due to start at 17.30 this evening. -
Can't access either, is this connected to the issues the forum is having?

Edit: can't get image to post which spoils the post. PT server is down, this has been going on for more than 24 hours, what's going on? Are the PRC so at the Pan-Asian DD they've launched a massive DDOS against WG? Edit 2: I may have a solution: -
I expect that the Pan-Asian DDs will change the gameplay to the worse
Capra76 replied to ThePurpleSmurf's topic in General Discussion
Cruisers are very vulnerable to torpedoes thanks to low HP pool and virtually no TPS, this is balanced by (generally) having the mobility to evade them when spotted, what DWT does is take this away so their only defence is a limited duration consumable that may or may not be running when they need it. BB can't usually react to torpedoes anyway, if they're relying upon their own spotting then it's probably too late. -

Playing devils advocate for a minute: the torps only have 6.4 km range against a 6.5 km base detection; the torpedo DPM is low for the tier; the gun DPM is nothing special, a lot better than Isokaze, a bit worse than V170, a lot worse than Clemson/Izy. I think the balancing factor is the captain, if you can slot in a high tier captain with CE then it becomes a very powerful ship, but as a standalone line I guess most players won't have a captain available so maybe it's just very strong for the tier. -

Almost unuseable at the moment. -

Capra76 replied to ThePurpleSmurf's topic in General Discussion
I'm not sure about that, I suspect the kind of players who move forward with the team are the kind that don't sail in straight lines so they won't be unduly affected, and the kind of player that does still sail in straight lines will get hit just as hard by ordinary torpedoes. Anyway my question was at a more fundamental level, what are WG trying to achieve with DWT? What problems do they solve? -

Capra76 replied to ThePurpleSmurf's topic in General Discussion
I'm struggling to work out what question WG are trying to answer with DWT, what part of the meta do they think this will improve and why. There are (probably) too few DD at mid tiers, which causes problems with uneven matchmaking, especially if your one DD is a potato, but do DWT really help this? There are too few cruisers at most tiers, so why introduce a mechanic that is especially punishing to them? There are too many BB at most tiers, but is a single niche line really going to help this and is the reduced detection really going to hurt BB? At the moment DWT just feels like a gimmick for the sake of it, an interesting idea that was worth exploring but one that should ultimately have been dropped. -
Plummeting WR, sometimes you just can't win.
Capra76 replied to Blixies's topic in General Discussion
In fact WR is only about 15% of that PR system, and I think about the same at WT, which is IMO on the low side in terms of what I think makes a good player, so it really favours campers and damage farmers over playing the objective. -
But no radar, which was crucial at Cape Matapan. Is it fair to say that they were somewhat similar to the Japanese? Impressive ships, but outdated technology left them outclassed by RN/USN ships.

Capra76 replied to Blixies's topic in General Discussion
Different ships? Higher tiers? More solo/less division? It's easier to get a high WR seal clubbing at T4 than it is at T8+. -
What's your most influential ship class?
Capra76 replied to Murro_the_One's topic in General Discussion
Radar yes, but doesn't this underline the problems cruisers have? Their biggest effect is a 30 second consumable that only some have and which isn't limited to CA anyway. BB determine where everybody else can go and what they can do, if they move forward and dominate the cap zones then cruisers can support and DD can cap, if they camp on line A then the other ships either camp with them or get blasted by the red ships who aren't camping. I think the Ocean map should be brought back for low tier battles, it's such a good tool for teaching BB players about teamplay. -

Capra76 replied to Murro_the_One's topic in General Discussion
I'm not sure that I'd put DD ahead of BB, except to the extent that they're relatively rare, 1/5 AFK BB is one thing, 1/2 AFK DD is another. -
This is a rather long guide that I've prepared in response to Egoleter's challenge here: https://forum.worldofwarships.eu/topic/89513-contest-create-a-wows-guide/ I'm going to break this down into 7 sections so please no responses until the final one is posted (this will be "further reading") If anyone wishes to suggest improvements or corrections to errors I will be happy to include them. Enjoy. Edit: formatting is going to take a bit of work, I'll post this raw then go back and edit it, please bear with me.

Tashkent is not Fletcher.

Fletcher: 560 m turning circle. Gearing: 640 m.

It's relatively easy to do with 3 stars, 4 stars is possible but the CV seems to be absent so 5 stars is impossible. It feels a bit slow paced, as a cruiser you spawn in the SE then need to travel the entire length of the map to sink a couple of cruisers before returning to the centre, a lot of sailing about and not that much action.

The in game payments for upgrades, servicing etc seem to be bugged. It's not consistent and can be worked around but it seem like the game is having difficulty recognizing the balance on the credit and doubloon accounts..
-
Big problem is that reports are limited per day, so play one game and dump 8 reports on one player, no problem, play 10 games and get paired up with 50 x 45% BB, more of a problem.
-
I agree.....................so long as in return we can ban CV players from threads that aren't about CV.
-
Turning into them and then letting the flooding tick, that's deliberate team killing, the lowest of the low. Maybe the noob doesn't deserve sympathy, but the other 10 players on the team don't deserve to have their game wrecked so that the OP can giggle at seeing the damage reflected onto the other player.
