JESUS, THIS THREAD IS NOT ABOUT CVS! Why the heck are you countering my arguments with constant CV talk when I didn't even MENTION them in my last few post. From all the arguments I've posted, you are completely ignoring 90% of them, and still ranting on about CVs...

And thats where you draw the line between skilled and non skilled player.In a CA vs CA duel, one will delete the other with 90% hp remaining, in CA vs BB duel, one will inflict heavy damage to BB, the other will die in first 5 seconds. BUT, it has been said 100 times allready, even if you are the most skilled CA player in the world, you cannot angle yourself against 5 BBs aiming at you (And add few cruisers that can wreck you to the mix), especially when on high tiers they are extremely accurate on 20km distances.

And again, you are wrong. These types of games DO NOT drop significant amounts of players in first year after release IF they are handled properly. They have growing player population. Especially the game like this, with quite low number of players for an AAA MMO title. And are you sure that players are staying in the game just because of german BBs, or are leaving the game in much higher numbers then before because there is too much (still considered OP) german BBs in the game? Are you sure that 30% of players (pulling this random number out of my @ss) that want this game to become BB vs BB only game aren't driving away the rest of players that want to play all the ship classes, or that main cruisers / DDs? No, in your head, everyone is leaving because there is not enough BBs, and if this was BB vs BB only game, this game would have 5 times more players than it has now. And how to even argue with that, when you can't understand that whole freaking concept of this game was based on 4 classes, not one, and all the balance / game modes are based on 4 classes, not one.

There is too much battleships present at higher tier battles. (Cant say too much about low tiers because I don't play them as often) Overpopulation of one class makes another class obsolete, or at least makes its job that much harder. There is something wrong when the ships with most HP, best armor, and largest guns are making up 40% of every team, instead of having fewer of them and more of "lighter" classes which would bring to faster, more skilled gameplay. Having too many BBs in 1 game ends up in an annoying 20km bow on snipefest, where everyone is sitting still and shooting across the map. Having too many of the BBs in the game ends up in a dragged out games where you need 5 minutes to kill single one of them, because they are insanely hard to kill when played even remotely properly (and played any way you want if its German BB). Having too much of ANY class in 1 game is bad for the balance, and for the game itself (If 1/3 classes is obsolete, the game just lost 30% of her content and thats never good). Whatever you are thinking, and saying, players ARE NOT satisfied with the current state of the game, and that is shown by a constant drop of the player base since the Christmas. (Doesn't matter if I'm sattisfied or not, but obviously there is quite a lot of people giving up on the game) Once again, the game IS NOT balanced in the way that there should be 5 bbs vs 2 cruisers, but vice versa, there should be 5 cruisers vs 2 BBs (and games were like that before, especially in lower tiers, and were much more sattisfying)

Discuss what? Your personal, highly biased opinions that have no actual facts to back them up? Nope, I don't want to discuss that. And even if I tried to discuss them (made that mistake too many times before), you will simply ignore all the facts presented because your opinion has a lot greater value then hard facts (at least in your mind). So yea, talking to the wall usually brings better results then discussing anything with someone so dense...

And he wonders why some people aren't taking him for serious anymore...

So first round Fire easily won, now Week after Water won by a quite large margin in ALL 5 categories? Cute

Leander is quite fine in t6 (Emerald and Danae are [edited] TBH), and those ZOMG NUMBERS!!! of yours means nothing, since Leander has great concealment, smoke and heal on top of that. And I don't recall any French cruiser having access to any of that things.

Most of the people allready agreed that BB-CA balance (at least on high tiers) is more or less fine, but numbers are not.I've said it myself lots of times, that situations where you have 2 cruisers on 1 BB is fine with this balance, but the situations where you have 2 BBs on 1 CA is not...

In last 2 weeks there was ~350k games played in t8 BBs, and ~250k games played in t8 CAs. I wouldn't call that almost equal. Considering that you have 5 (now 6) lines of cruisers in the game, and 3 lines of BBs, that shows even better how popular are cruisers nowadays... on t9 its ~150k : 130k , and on t10 its ~145k : 125k which once again doesn't sound THAT tragic, unless you understand that BBs are class that COUNTER CAs, and they are outnumbering them every game. So, while being stronger in every aspect, and have the ability to delete cruisers in one salvo, they even come in a greater numbers. (While you have a lot more cruisers to choose from, then you have BBs.) And that translates into extremely painful games for cruisers, since you can't dodge / angle against 4-5 BBs shooting at you at the same time, and every hit you take could be your last...

because human stupidity knows no boundaries.

They should honestly just make a checkbox with "I want a BB only games", so that guys can enjoy their slugfest, and leave the rest of us to play the proper game... @Exocet: well, I'm not really sure how well that AA cruiser fares against Missouris AA

The saddest part is, our Midway actually dropped their New Orleans at start...

What BB plague? According to some people, there is too much DDs in high tier, and BB numbers are fine...

Its good when you don't hit something, but few days ago I had a game with Missouri.60 shells landed, 120k damage done. Average of 2k damage per shell. With a freaking t9 BB. And at least half of that was on broadside ships.

The good old PLEASE GIVE ME SOME DAMAGE game... My fav one was with some 150 hits from D Donskoi and ~13k damage... And basicly every game I played with BBs yesterday...

play BBs or high caliber cruisers...

I don't think that AVERAGE means what you think it means.

Nah, I'm not angry, I'm just allergic to stupidity.And you seem to simply radiate it. And in such amounts that even Chernobyl is blushing when it comes to your radiation.

Your point is that you have no idea whats the point you are trying to make. I like to fly the plane. Does that make me a history nerd, and I'm playing Ace Combat because of history? Or I like to shoot things. So I'm playing Call of Duty 18 (or whatever the newest one is) because I like the historical aspect of fighting in outer space? Why the Edited would you even assume everyone has to be into naval / tank history just to play a Edited game with ships / tanks in it? You are a god damn textbook example of generalization, and a fail generalization at that... You want another example of your failed generalization? Once again bringing out "MY BELOVED CARRIERS" when the carriers are the class I play the least, aka I have FOUR TIMES more games in a Battleships, and in cruisers, then I have in carriers. But just because I don't cry every time I see the carrier in the game, and I actually know how to play against one, makes me a carrier lover. Now please, do proceed to fail, its what you do best after all. This post has been edited by the moderation team due to swearing.

For the same reason they play Diablo, Mass Effect, Halo, Dota, Witcher...You know, purely for the historic aspect, not for the sake of gaming...

And I was talking about identical ships with identical guns.

How do you explain 2 sister ships: 1) being tier 7/8 respectively 2) one has HE the other does not 3) one has heal, the other does not 4) one has torpedoes, the other does not 5) one can mount both radar and smoke at the same time, the other can not OH YEA! ITS THE GAME, NOT REAL LIFE!!!

And here I tought that my 150 points are quite nice
