On his defence, I think I did say that the fact that the left side of the ship is stronger the right (or vice versa) is a bit silly. It's like crewmen are running from left to right and back LOL. I just did 30 planes kills in my Kidd, something never is possible in a 'regular' cruiser, even though a cruiser has a LOT more AA guns. I think, due to the fast way you can switch zones, DDs benefit the most. I notice in my Groz. as well. DDs switch so fast, the planes are always on the 150% side. If you use zoning well, DDs have an extra AA buff. And on ships like Groz, Kidd, with heals and AA consumable, they are incredibly effective against planes. I used to use my Montana to protected DDs and other ships (was my only AA specked ship), now it's my Grozovoi or Kidd. That is weird, it's absolutely not the role of a DD to support AA to capital ships.

I agree, I used to have to tear myself away from the game, wanting to keep playing. That is no longer the case. I just played my Kidd in a 4 CV game. Got 30 planes. So weird that AA skilled DDs kill so many more planes than 'regular' cruisers. They have so much viewer AA guns.

Wow, that's a 37,5% decline. I assume WG also know they have taken a wrong path by now, they keep nerfing & buffing all kinds of stuff. Problem is, if the essence of the game is broken, you can't fix this with a buff here and a nerf there. If you watch Notser's video, there is still a lot amiss with the play due to the new CVs. Personally, CVs drove me crazy only when my team's CV sucked and the other guy knew what he was doing. But that's still the case. I have had so many games where CV's were surprised by an enemy breaking through a flank. Old CV play they looked at the map a lot and saw what was going on. Now the gameplay is so FPS like they have don't notice the mini-map or the chat.

I have the same thing but with the same ship, One game I did 40+ planes in my Montana, next game I am focussed 3 times by enemy planes (full squads and I shoot down 2. It's bizarre. You don't know if you can trust your own ships defensives. Had the same result in my Grozovoi, one game it's a plane killer, the next hardly a dent...

Eh yes... damage seems to spread evenly over the flight... not very realistic, there must be one guy on a BB that gets a decisive hit on a plane, like in the engine or damaging a wing???

well, and they want to make money... but that is obvious, they are a commercial company. I just played a non CV game, where, after 3-4 minutes only 7-8 ships are spotted. So you are careful, and try to probe/push but not overextend. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best tactic. For me, the fact that ships are spotted all the time, in the beginning, takes away a lot of fun (element of surprise) the game. I would not be surprised that with all this spotting, as soon as flank knows its 4 against 6, they all push like mad and overrun the enemy and in that sense the game becomes predictable. It's like playing an FPS with a wall hack...

I have read all about the AA - Flack and that stuff. But I can't for the life of me can't figure out why my LOYANG just had a game where I shot down 8 (!!) planes. It has no AA consumable, AA Modules and Captain doesn't have AFT, BFT or manual AA. While yesterday in my Montana (who is fully AA spec'd) shot down 2 while it was attacked several times.... That was exactly the goal! The main goal even!

Wow... another real realistic change. Radar shows the ship on the mini map, but you have to wait 6 seconds before she becomes visible to the 'eye'. and the radar is visible like a pulse... like in sci-fi movies and above the ship is an icon (hologram?)... because people don't communicate in chat, so the program does that for you. Guys, Guys, Guys, what are you doing the past few months, out of ideas so all this weird stuff comes up? This was a fairly realistic strategy game. We've had schoolgirls, space and other silly camo's. 5 planes launching from 1 or 2 catapults, Carrier with unlimited planes. Planes that can become invisible by pressing an F key, planes that can practically teleport over the map so fast. New ships that are utterly useless (Le Terrible), if you fart you get a radar consumable, DDs that can kill BBs with their guns. Carrier that when playing uptier are absolutely chanceless. One game you shoot 69 planes down with the Montana, next game 2. Can you please please stop!!

Last 3 games al had 1 or 2 carriers, ALL had the Hakuryu. I can't seem to get my damage output above 50k (normally I am in the 100 - 150k) in my Jean Bart. I am mostly ducking avoiding torps and planes. I think in the first 13 min I was near planes all the time, only shot down 5. All 3 games I was killed by the carrier. Every game the carrier(s) were responsible for a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 6 ship kills. The game is officially f*cked. I see all these players say they quit till it is fixed. I am very very close to that, it's just not fun to play anymore. Instead of trying to be a decisive factor in the game, I am just trying not to die all the time.

eh... I watched Flambass/Flamu/Knotser video's and from the feedback 9 out of 10 was a complaint. The only positive ones were that they were looking forward to the patch, not positive feedback on what they saw, actual 0.8.0 gameplay. Compared to what I saw, they changed some last minute stuff (in the beginning your shot nothing down and zoning did nothing, 125% of nothing is still nothing). We were in a nice ship on the ocean and due to the update we are in a rowboat. Now it turns out that the rowboat is leaking on several places. Now they are going to fix these holes, but we are still in a rowboat. The game has been broken, anything tactical is gone, a noob can make 300k in CVs, DDs do crap, BBs are CV game. You can stack yourself max for AA but can't protect yourself. Basically, you can never go ANYwhere alone. Zoning is stupid. You have the zone on the right side and kill nothing, then the planes are on the others and the zone is on the wrong side and you are a sitting duck. if planes come from behind or front, how do you zone that? Suddenly as a BB player I am zoning, ducking 3 sets of torps dropped ever 10-15 seconds then 20 seconds rest and the next squads come. Meanwhile, I try not to give broadside, not lay still, shoot back, avoid islands. All the CV has to do is steer and click fire twice per run. Because CV players when they were bad, lost you the game, they made CV play super easy. Now GOOD CV players make 350k in a game and DD and BB players are f*cked. And we went from 1 CV game in 5 to 4 CV games in 5. And sometimes multiple CV players per team. So from having a crap game every 5 games, I have a good game every 5 games. How wrong is that???????

Why does my Grozovoi with AA rating 47 kill more planes than my Missouri with rating 82? Actually, my Missouri could not even kill one tier VII torp plane from the Lexington. He was not even able to make them scatter the drop a little.... Next game with the Missouri.. same thing. You grind a f*cking 750.000 XP for this ship and in 1 update it's broken. How can you not find this in testing? Perhaps you should check these 'special ships' first? I am very very very disappointed in the 0.8.0 update. Why? - Am spotted even before I cross the B line (almost immediately). Spotting by CVs can be done without any fear of fighters since the carrier area defence consumable is only useful if you are stationary. - DDs are always spotted with the new play (see above) - As a ship you sometimes can't shoot for minutes, CVs can drop shoot and torp about every 30 seconds (=arcade game). Not very realistic. - Invisible-unhittable planes after the drop. Wtf is that? Can my ship have the same if I turn away by hitting an F key? - the zoning sucks. After I have the zone on the correct side, he flies over me and then attacks me from the other side that is now 75/50%. Besides being shot, ducking torps, shooting back I now have to manage also that? Why? Do you think on a ship in wartime they all their AA gun people on 1 side of the ship? - I have played 9000+ games, came close to the 300k mark. Now carriers frequently do 350k damage, how OP is that? - on a first incoming run, you hardly ever shoot a plane down. So none of the AA guns on a battleship hits a vital part of a plane? Ever watched war video's? This used to be a tactical game, positioning, angling of your ship, not overextending, teamwork. With the spamming arcade carrier gameplay, this has gone tits up. I know it's hard after all this work to conclude you have taken a wrong path, but I seriously think you have. I thought I would never say it, but I rather have the old carrier gameplay back over this. Then a bad CV player could cost you the game, now a bad CV player can kill you, that's worse, MUCH worse.

Hi, What modules are you running on the midway & Hakurya? I would be very grateful if you can explain your choices :)

It that the zone you try to avoid so you are not detected? That's extremely useful, especially as a DD.

well soon a lot of them will have new jobs cause this game has been fubar'd

Please cancel the Patch. My Republique just became useless because cause AA is fucked up and it has no catapult fighters. My Montana, Des Moines are now uselessly specked. My Massachusetts needs a scout plane for range, but with the new dynamics I will have to take a fighter (cause AA is *edit up). Nice that the AA looks different, but if you don't shoot anything down... what is the use???? Is it possible to get a refund for the gold I bought? And the ships? Ps I bought the Friedrich cause I was busy the past weeks. Now you make it week longer would have meant I didn't have to. So.. refund?? Pps The feedback on f.i. Notsers video about the new carrier play is ONLY negative, why, why, why do you push this *edit through?

Hello, Since a few days I have that my screen goes black during a game. Its usually when I get hit bad or die. Anyone else has or had this? I have a GTX980Ti, Latest video drivers, latest intel processor, etc. Help would be appreciated, this is quite annoying.

Issue is gone for me now (thank god). Was super annoying.

Hi, Does anybody know why the games are ending before the time is up or a team has reached a 1000? This early ending, when still alive stops you from making more damage and making more money in the game. Is it a way from wargaming to force people to go premium?

Guys, let's stick to the subject...

f*ck... I never win anything.... now I thought I finally won something of value.... but no... :( :( :(

I have 587 days of premium... rather have the roma :))))

Hi Jessa, In 4500 games, I have been kicked from the server 3 times (all in the last 2 months). I find the systems very stable. And like I said, with one freebie a day... there is no problem with that. I would not get punished. You are addressing the bad players issue, hmmm hard one. You could make 2 flavors of matchmaking, 1 based on Ship, 1 based on the stats of the player. So you can choose which version of Random battle you play. On the other hand, I played Clan Battle and found the level of play quite high (and challenging) there. Ranked is driving me nuts, with only 7 ships, if 2 do something stupid, you lose. You say push, 2 hang back.. you lose... I just lost 2 games where after 3 minutes the outcome was clear. You can explain in chat what you want... no result... some people just don't want to know I suppose...

Well.. if they give me the admirals version of the Roma.... I will accept that sending me a message was a mistake :)))))))

Suggestion: If someone is AFK for X minutes to punish him for Y hours (after like 1 freebee a day). Depending on the tier, Y goes up. I was just in a tier x game where the carrier was AFK for the first 3-4 minutes and he got caught by a DD that had crossed the map. It meant in the beginning of the game our DDs where easy game (and died). The game ended quickly causing 12 guys to loose credits. The game after that, a Moskva never showed up. He also was toasted by a DD that capped A and caught him behind D doing nothing. The regular excuse is that the game crashed. If these guys have their settings to high, crappy PCs, why should the other players (and the game) suffer. In team sportsplay, late for the training, you get a fine or you are benched. Result... everyone is early. Ps. getting in early allows you to scan the opponents, radar ships, map... so you come into the game more prepared!

I have that, in game when I get hit heavy, my screen goes black for 2-3 seconds. Extremely annoying cause sometimes I am still alive and need to dodge more incoming, island or decide if I use a consumable while I can't see the state of my ship. Never had any issues with this game, running a GTX980It, i-7700 intel, 32GB memory. Except for the video card, al latest greatest hardware installed 5-6 months ago. Any suggestions would be awesome (reinstall game? Clean install video drivers?)
