Radar BBs, yaaaaaaay... We need to make them still more "dumbproof", encourage everyone and their mother to play them more and all that... But well, not that I'm the one to complain about all of this, it's not like I play anymore since I lose the interest everytime I check the forums to see what changes are made before starting to "not play" after reading things like this everytime... Anyways, keep it like that guys. Great work.

You mean something like that? It's a battle I had in December, but I remembered I saved the screenshots because of the potencial damage after having that Shima sticked to my aft all that battle, the number of torpedos spotted by me and the ones that actually hit, not even remotely spectacular besides from that, but it was fun.

The topic question is kinda silly IMO. Triple Shira making BBabies cry? Well, sure. You don't really need anything special to make them cry, they cry about anything that touches their hulls. Decent BB players, specially if they also play other ship classes on the other hand? Not so much. Other ship divisions as suggested earlier work better.

Learning from mistakes to not repeat them again? What's that?

Mmm... I could try to do it to regain Mikasa, which I bought before I knew what I was doing in my "massive noob period" since I bought her in frustration at that time and get her to do some work, maybe. However considering even if it's tier 2 how slow it is to get to use your real main weapon with the so short range it has with that useless "main armament"... I don't know if I'd bother that much. It's nice to see some missions for ships as a reward though. Not complaining about that, I hope they keep it like that? Krasny Krim next maybe? I heard it's pretty bad but I bet at least can do more than Mikasa so maybe it's a good ship for rewards like this.

I really hope so, becuase it would just kill an otherwise good idea with those scenarios.

The new PvE scenarios looked interesting until I read that forts return in those scenarios. Not interested anymore.

What if it's not WG that keeps random average players at 50% or lower but other but other random players in the games you have?

Not really my achievement but this was a fun "team achievement". My team "won twice" this match. 1000 points at 20:00 battle time. Epic.

Wow. You don't really need to convince me to not buy the Hood, I don't plan in doing so but that surprised me. You really mean that Hood has worse gun performance than the Dunkerque even counting with the random "derpersion" Dunkerque has? I know Dunkerque has good pen if you hit but I was actually surprised to see someone considering any ship having more unreliable guns than Dunkerque becuase of that accuracy, Mikasa being the exception.

As other say, Clear Skies and Liquidator since I don't play DDs almost and when I do I don't have luck finding someone who doesn't instarepair a flood. I'd say that Die Hard it's difficult to do too but I find the achievement itself so stupid that I don't even try to get such an "achievement" ever. The only times I got that is when for some reason that almost doesn't happen anymore I was close to an enemy, definitely dying anyway because I got in a bad possition so I just rammed the closest ship and for some reason the other guy died but I was still alive. Still, worse and most stupid "achievement" I can concieve. I don't even know why it's there, it just promotes bad YOLO play in case there's actually someone trying to go for it.

Now, first of all let me make clear that this is not any sort of stat rant of bragging or whatever, all I care about stats if for comparing how I do compared to myself to check if I improve or get worse from time to time. That said let's begin with what I felt strange. Ok, so the thing is I haven't been playing for some time even if I've still checked the forums from time to time but this week somehow I managed to bring myself to play a bit and after two or three days of doing a few battles per day I checked wows numbers (I know most people prefer warships today for that, but I get used to this one instead) and was not surprised that I do worse. Even I noticed a bit "rusty" while playing, that my aim is a bit off still and things like that, but well that's how it is I guess. However one thing that surprised me is that my average damage per battle of a "wooping" 48k, almost 49k is in purple, like for "unicum" stats. That surprised me, I consider myself a "decent" player at best and TBH last time I checked months ago I think I remember the number being green, just for a decent stat. Did something happen or I missed something? Like title say are average stats dropping for some reason or it's just me?

Hm, yeah, that would be a more usual thing to expect for me too. Maybe it's something with that page, is what I'm starting to think. Edit: yes, checked and stats look more normal there, must be something with wows numbers.

I don't know today, haven't played yet but at least yesterday tier 7 seemed pretty safe from them. I didn't see even one of them and in queue they didn't manage to go past 3 waiting.

They won't look into that until the day the queue for BBs is over nine thousaaaaaaaand! On a more serious response, I'm actually starting to really wonder if they even really care about it.

Well, I agree with that. I'm not asking about Atlanta being OP in my case. For example I really enjoy Mutsu even if it's not considered competitive. Like I care, of all people. But it's fun (for me at least) and I enjoy playing her. I even like Ishizuchi for the random day I decide I'll sealclub something in tier 4 and enjoy more Ishizuchi than my Imperator. But notice all the "enjoy" part. Atlanta can be good in her own specific play style, I won't ever argue that. It can be fun. Who doesn't like to shoot nonstop? But enjoyable? Would you really describe Atlanta as enjoyable? And for me that's one of the things that, yes, I'll ask out of a premium.

Eh, I believe it. Ranked is where Atlanta actually performs better. Way better than in randoms.

Well, I haven't touched my Atlanta for a long time now. I did pretty decent overall but I can't bring myself to play it more. Why? Well, you have the fire rate everyone talks about. Sure, is awesome, if you manage to get close to someone you melt it. But no matter how much shells you can spam what I see a lot of people do when it comes to Atlanta is realize that that's not all you'll ever need or that actually means the ship is good. Good by "properly good" so to say. The thing is that no matter how much shell spam you can do you only have 11 km range. That's range is so short. And the wait to solve it is getting AFT. Well. Ok. Yes, you should get AFT, Atlanta is such a no fly zone that any buff to her AA range is welcome, BUT. That actually does nothing to her guns. And yeah, here comes the guy saying "oh but I hit ships at 12/max range". Well, honestly, good, for you. Give yourself a pat in the back. You should have come across some kind of player with a hard level of unawareness of what WASD keys are, good job in wrecking a bot at that range with your Atlanta. Because if you are consistently are able to hit someone at those ranges with those NASA mortars and doesn't react so you can keep shooting it it's a bad player. But that's not all, because every other player equipped with the skills to press A or D when under fire form an Atlanta at 10+ km range knows also how to stay away from your range. Also you are outranged by anything that's worth using it's guns. While playing Atlanta I think you can brag about outranging some IJN DDs for what their care about their guns (which to be honest are arguably better that yours even with the worse reload, at least they can hit you if they happen to shoot). And most importantly, no one comes close to an Atlanta the moment it appears in the map, ffs. You can get by surprise one or two ships in your average Atlanta battle, hopefully sink them if they don't start turning left and right to throw of your aim and then you can go spend the rest of the battle waiting for a BB to one shot you for existing and being BBs number one priority target (yes, over DDs, because at least they're going to hit you unlike hoping for it like with DDs) or hidding from everything because it outrages you and everyone hates an enemy Atlanta anyways. My two cents about this.

Nah, you gotta love the swarm. Have you played today? I haven't seen less than 200 BB in queue from around 18:00 until now. Oh the joy, we have a new friend. Marvelous.

What are you guys complaining about? Kaga was a japanese ship. So it's just fine that asia gets Kaga first. Every server gets their premium ships first, right?

Well, I sure bought quite a few of premiums myself (not that I was "threatening" anything back then, lol). I agree that it sure must be hard for those that don't know how to keep their wallet closed while they keep complaining though.

Nah, I really like BBs but I'm not all that satisfied with the way this game is going so no more throwing money at them by me.

Does Warspite need that buff IMO? Well, no. It was a different ship, a bit harder than usual but well, back in the the day most of the premiums were that. However I agree that with the new additions to the game Warspite lost some of it's "identity", German BBs arrived with equal caliber guns, later on even Mutsu. So the guns are still acurate but that's the only good thing that's still good, the caliber is not special anymore and while probably historically accurate, the curret traverse in for the standards of this game is outright bad and again the caliber is not special anymore to have the excuse of Warspite being a tier 6 mini-Yamato in terms of guns. So, necessary buff IMO? No. Still a buff so I'll take it? Yes. I mean, it's a buff, we even complain about buffs to things now?

The only thing Hood is special for is because the ship got "fun and engaged" before it was cool and a thing that happened every day of the year. In fact I'm pretty sure that ship is the only reason we have such a good mechanic all day long in the game. Also, how many topics about Hood are you going to start?

We start to have more complains about the report system lately than complains of BBs burning... Maybe it's actually a problem.
