So i played a game in my midway (that took forever to get) and well my team were, lets say "bad", i did okay helped the team and did what i could. Not a high damage game but it wasn't my worst. I received 180k credits okay that's probably about what you'd get from another T10 for a similar battle but I made a net loss of 22k that battle and its not just the fact i had an ok battle. i had a battle where i did 146k and only made a profit of 40k. A Yamato would have made a profit of over 100k. Is it just me? or is this not really fair? We work very hard to get T10s then I have to spend credits to essentially play them... Opinions?

check check check check I'm not a noob

ya its not really the bbs that are the issue. if they can see you then other stuff can to

Here are the results of this survey, shows that the majority of people didn't have an issue with stealth fire as a mechanic just a few ships that had access to it. https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-7QD8D9ZG/

WG...did you really do any community research? or did you just ask battleship players? Stealth fire was the only thing that enables DDs such as gearing, fletcher, akizuki and others to actually do any damage with their "guns" while still for filling their role of spotting the enemy. The 0.6.3 patch encourages smoke and camping two things that are far more disruptive to a game than stealth fire. A team that can not see the enemy will lose, if all the teams DD's (gunboats) need to relay on other ships to spot the enemy to use their guns then what is the point? Stealth fire really was not a problem, in the gearing the shell arcs prevent you from reliably hitting anything outside of 10 km. The only ships that should have this ability are DD's. The Zao is the reason for this whole scale nerf in my opinion, a player will moan if they get stealth fired by 203mm guns. I can't see how one change is the right change for every single ship in the game from tier 1 to tier 10. Lets be real here, it doesn't affect most ships, just the ones that need the mechanic to actually function. Removing stealth fire all together was just lazy, it will result in players hiding behind islands and in smoke. It will leave players like me, who worked so hard for their gearing, just be left feeling like they have been let down by the devs who have failed to come up with a proper solution to a very small issue.

The point is to maybe show that surveys about meta changing updates can be thrown out to the community do gauge the reaction. This took me literally 5 minutes to make, WG could so easily post a poll on the website and link it to the launcher. Although its a free game there are people who have probably put more money in to this game than any other game and i think they have the right to have some say in how the game develops.

The gearing is meant for harassing fire and torps dropped in the vague direction of the enemy, it has lost the ability to be flexible in how it moves and shoots. I don't want to sit still in smoke or behind and island to fire my guns, where is the fun in that? when was the last time a USN DD really bothered you in a bb while open water stealth firing and then when was the last time smoke stealth fire bothered you. because I wonder if War Gaming have misunderstood the complaints. stealth firing from smoke it very annoying but its an accepted game mechanic and so was stealth fire for DD's. How many players think they use stealth fire as a DD regularly? https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/8WTHT56 .Take the survey
