I really hate those weird spawns on some maps where you start all alone far away from your team where you spend good five or more minutes depending of the speed of the BB with which that happen to you (because those weird spawn points look like BB only spawns). And that's if your team doesn't decide to lemming train to the opposite side of the map so the enemy flank of your side catches up to you or the CV enemy finds you and farms a free kill. WG should really look at the damn spawn points. It's a very easy to solve problem and one of the most annoying ones in that aspect.

Yeah, old Midway was brutal, that's why I think that returning to a double 6 plane torp bombers will have some kind of "gimmick" to compensate that. As said before I'm not a CV player so I have really no idea how to do that, but from what they seem to do with the new premium CVs I woudn't be surprised if they jump again the train of CVs with planes of lower tier than the CV or maybe a quite little reserve of torp bombers so bad drops and loss of planes would be really bad for the CV eating that type of plane reserve quickly.

Yes, I know but I completely agree with this. I'm not defending OP ships, but it's something that keeps happening for a long time now and people starts crying like mad with any ship like that until everything calms down again. It's always the same. On the other hand when something like Prinz Eugen or Mutsu (and just wait for Ashitaka) appears everyone starts crying about the crap job they do realising worthless premiums. Just accept that premium ships are released with their own thing most of the time and broken from time to time and adapt as always, but don't do this with every single f***ing premium please. That's all I tried to say.

Imperator Nikolai has p2w armor and accuracy, Kutuzov has p2w smoke combined with the base range the ship had back in the day with the AFT bonus pre-nerf of AFT for reasons, Belfast has p2w smoke, radar, hidro and T8 module slot to slap the concealment mod too on that all at the same time, Missouri has radar and is the international bank of WoWS... I mean... WG throws in a pw2 ship from time to time and every non CV main hates CV to some extent, specially WG itself so what so scandalous about a DD with great AA? Like it's the only ship or even DD that eats planes in the last months. Like people coudn't expect something like this happening.

It's not like back in the day I hated torps, specially CV dropped ones that I spend a few weeks at the training room with 3/4 CVs or DDs against me until I learned to emulate Matrix a decent amount of times against them while sailing a BB and I'll try to be less vocal that our friend here, but... Not a CV player, keep that in mind and I didn't pay much attention to CV related stuff, but I thing I overread something about giving Midway more torp squads again and a few here still remember how that was like. So if it's true that the trade for more torp squadrons for Midway is that they're tier VIII ones, I'd say it's balanced. I get OP complaing and I really get why he says that but Midway wouldn't ever get more torps squads without that (or that's what I hope). Also (take this my comments here with a pinch of salt since I don't really care about CVs and I'm not trying to be offensive here to CV main players) at least they're doing something with CVs at least, maybe could be better (like always) but it's something. And about the kind of comments this thread is getting shows that CVs are anyways the least played class, so most of the community won't bother I guess.

They could add a new "tip" while loading a match so everyone ingame would see it say that repaircost is the same either if you sink your ship or don't take damage at all. An increased font for this one specially would be highly advised too. Edit: and while we're at it remove useless tips that doesn't happen since what, alpha? Like "your BB might not sail between small islands because the water is not deep enough" which doesn't happen ever anymore unless you really smash your ship against an island and add warnings like the new "you might get detected by a nearby DD is you're shooting from smoke" and even "stop shooting from smoke with your BB, is useless now, really, quit it" and useful things for the avarage player like those ones.

Run before the Cleveland inquisition of behind island brave catapult warlords get you.

Looking at this I wonder what will happen if the Duke of York really comes out without the heal. Can't wait for the thousand topics about ANY source that deals damage to that being OP and should be nerfed.

Blame the Black, trust me.

I'm just waiting for the rest of the regions to get the same shop and events from here. It's going to be great.

I hope Cleveland gets better shell arcs.

You still don't know the trend that caping is for noobs? Or as some may translate that to, BBs? Which makes me remember that when I played some days ago with my new Giulio Cesare and the nice Gangut WG handed us because we still don't have enough BBs to play with I had three or four weird capture zones alone. With a BB. Unspotted all the time. I'm still wondering why.

Good times never last.

Huh, you're right, didn't notice them being darker because of being sunk, after seeing other 5 Shimas I assummed it was a maximum troll 7 Shimas clan. Still hilarious though.

I almost fell of my chair laughing when I realized 7 DDs were Shimakaze and the amount of torps in coordinated spreads must have been there. Make my day and say that there were also the fast ones, please.

So can we start asking for refunds for the Molotov yet?

But there's no way WG left BBs out of a buff, right? Right?!

Now we only need BBs to get this too.

I completely agree with that too, but I also like GC a lot more than Dunkerque now. Even if Dunkerque suddenly feels tankier that something since GC seems to eat even more pens from more angles than Dunkerque has, GC compensates for that with better stealth and the fac that the guns are really good makes me like the ship more even if l also like Dunkerque. Dunkerque's accuracy could recieve a bit more love TBH, it doesn't need anything else.

Look what you did, guys...

Yeah, that's exactly what I thought reading this. I don't know why people waste time with HE with Giulio Cesare. Sure, 35% fire chance is not bad, but Giulio's AP looks quite good.

Well true, and the raw damage of the pen is great and all, but for me the point of Yamato vs (insert any other T10 BB here) is what everyone defends. Yamato has awful turret traverse so no brawling allowed, was the secondary guns god before KM BBs appeared and later got their secondry range buffed even more and has bad AA. In return she has the "I pen anything" guns. But what does that matter when now any other BB except another Yamato has the citadel underwater now so there's no citadels to hit? Any other BB can get pens on other things and will do better in everything else than Yamato does. That's why Yamato is the worse BB right now from my point of view. And now Musashi with worse dispersion, reload and the same turret traverse that prevents you from anything but camping so you don't get flanked and just farmed and with AA guns going "extintion mode"? Yeah... very interesting..

Well, I think that giving not gonna bother learning how to spell that Gangut for everyone and now selling the Giulio Cesare to mitigate the BB population is a pretty good way to go. Also the Bismarck givaway was great si I think the next thing we could have is a marathon of missions like with Gangut that could be done with T3s in co-op to get a free Conqueror. With that BBs would become played as CVs in high tiers and everyone would be happy again.

Today while playing my new Giulio Cesare an Oktober whatever Gangut saw me just crossing a smoke laid by a DD of our team while she stopped in there and asked me in chat if I was dumb just charging where an enemy BB and a DD where instead of stoping in the safety of the smoke like her.

The few battles I tried it myself I get an actually expected result from before even trying it. And it's that while it's a good option and the full secondary build deals it's damage people is scared shitless of a Yamato so they never will came in range of the secondaries even with the full secondary build. And if you somehow manage to use islands to ambush someone into it everyone will focus you like you're a demon incarned so it's not a good idea to get that close yourself either. My conclusion: not worth it even if it's potentially good.
