Well they Royally screwed the pooch with the Christmas Holiday event so they probably figured why stop there...!!

Wait.....who... so they are no longer the RED WHITE and GREEN? (wich looked kinda cool), to.....Red? Like all the other red tracers in the game. ? I wonder what else they can do to ruin INDIVIDUALITY in this game...

Realy How Much?

WTF?

When this came out on test I expressed by dissatisfaction that this was achievable for about 1% of the player base and a s a holiday event completely ridiculous and unacceptable. It seems in my experience that large corporation company's are misleading/lying to the customer base more and more like its completely acceptable or the IN THING TO DO to obtain profit targets. I work for a company that has started to slowly but surely exploit its staff as well as lie to them....I've now become a number.....not a person. How much is enough? This is just another example IMO and im tired of this BS. This is a sad day but I knew it was coming eventually. The best way I can express my disgust is to seriously consider closing my wallet to WG for good. Funny really, because by this choice I now have much better things to spend my money on.

Well logically DD's go first to spot for the team. Cruisers should cover DD's and BB 's cover cruisers that are being targeted by Enemy cruisers/ bb's that have been spotted by your DD's. If cruisers are behind you in my experience it means (if doing their job) theve either taken punishment because they've covered allied DD's correctly and are trying to drop off detection by increasing distance. Bur as others have said different cruisers have different playstyles, some are more effective in close whilst others are better further back. The irony IMO is that cruisers are supposed to do everything (jack of all trades?) and have absolutely no armour whatsoever to do it. But then again how would BB 's get their precious one shot kills and feel POWERFULL and superior if for no cruisers in the game.?

You need to ask yourself one question....

Who in the hell thought that was a good name? Seriously.... Yeah that's a tough one ...I Guess they are all about survival at the end of the day, personally I go SE because extra heal extra smoke, premium those and its x2 so invaluable on any of the RNL CL if you ask me.

To me, that says a lot about cruisers in general in this game. They should be the more rewarding class to play but there not, because im more inclined to think that they are there just to keep BB player base happy these days... ("I just took that cruiser out with a single salvo, and he wasn't even broadside!!.....Man im sooooo Good!)

.....In about 14 days mate...possibly less.

Spot on. We come back to a horse and water. The game design doesn't help itself with free xping lines. for eg. There needs to be a better learning discipline incorporated into the game. But Wg don't want that because it screws with there cash potential. The irony is that its in a way, designed to fail .

I have no idea. £200,£300 over the last 5 years pos... I've spent what I need too, to enjoy the game for me. As Leo said: ...I find it leads to a much more stress free life not to think about it/worry about it to much.

Yeah you have a point there actually. they do require teamwork to be effective, but like Noster said in the video you got to piggy back someone else to spot for you and that's not easy these days due to the "pew pew just want to have fun mentality"...(not saying that's wrong but to be successful in WOWS that alone doesn't cut it imo) but WG don't steer this game in the direction of ITS A TEAM GAME mentality because they are afraid to loose the customers based on the pew pew mentality. Which again is ironic since to be successful in this game requires a team of 12 ...not 1. Solo play in random is almost impossible these days anyway....

Found this last week and have to say I agree in some of what he says regarding the design of the line in that purely, they are a DD counter. which is kind of ironic as they have no (classic) tools to hunt said DD's. But that made me think........ that perhaps we have become a little lazy, relying on hydro, Radar to do the job that these ships can actually do without those tools.

They have a high skill ceiling in order to make them work efficiently. They wont be for everyone but they do offer a different play style, wich is refreshing and definitely what the game needs atm. While the Italian Special captain does make quite a difference and increases the impact these ships have, they still suffer in situations because of those awful reload times but that's because they have quite large alpha damage and can be devastating to enemy DD's. WG give with one hand take away with another...concept of balance.

However, that is the funniest thing ive seen all day..

Totally agree...The worst most painful grind so far, this ship should come with a free prescription of anti depressants. just couldn't get the hang of this ship because of its stock 14.6k detectability which is ridiculous for a cruiser. You got to grind out 10 cap points for CE before this ship becomes remotely playable...and up till then as you said you get picked off from every enemy BB taking shots at you from the other side of the map. Just a BB piñata basically... Due to the slow reload I was ineffective when it came to other tier 6 knife fights as well, Leander easily won with its high DPM, Nurnberg out penned me (better armour 6 sec reload) etc etc.just a horrible experience. Zara Seems to be a different kettle of fish, starting to enjoy this line now, just death incarnate for any DD close enough for that alpha to take effect, brutal AP against broadside cruisers. tried her out with the Italian captain Luigi Sansaneti on pt and oh boy he can really make this line sing from 7 up. A Must for this line imo.

So getting closer to 50% then ....That's bad IMO... One swallow does not a summer make.....

Tier7 used to be the sweet spot for balanced gaming imo. Its now being screwed over by power creep and general WG BS. Its been getting like this for a while now. Tier 8 vs Tier X was never much of a problem for reasons people have already explained. Tier7 v's tier 9 is a problem...why Wg have to keep messing with MM I don't understand.... its actually like they want to keep pushing people away... If it keeps going like this we will need some more tiers ...but maybe that's the idea..?

FMV sequences in dockyard (at beginning and when she rico goes out on water to finish building) are very stuttery and glitchy.
