Great fun - far more fun than randoms often are - should be kept as a permanent game mode in some form or another.

Oh boy, those are pretty sad drop rates. WG publish the darned % for each drop please - be responsible rather than greedy.

I think I hate you. In fact I'm not sure whether I hate you more than I hate my morbid curiosity for pressing "play"... Well played sir, well played.

agreed

Way too many duplicates this time around (and no ship missions). WG either need to improve the drop chances & RNG or start publishing the %ages.

Just a heads up, we're still interested in having more join us :) Makes scenarios more fun for starters ;)

The same "trolls" that are saying we'll watch Alita battle angel instead? Those "trolls"? Or did you miss the </s> tag off?

Considering what RT just did to hide the embarrassment of only 27% of users wanting to see the new Marvel film, this is not such a good example I think! How many reviews are out there that do get updated? OP has a good point IMHO.

You need to switch to BB to ride the white line tho...

I think that what Ilya Wolf is saying is that you shouldn't have been so far in advance of your team, i.e. you overextended. This is not a criticism, I do it all the time... Just means that we need to be more passive (fun and engaging eh?)

Easy - run the Lightning without concealment expert on your captain and get good at dodging. Had over 1mil potential and survived in one match - of course it depends on how well the reds can shoot so YMMV! Should be able to get around 500K per match (probably best kept for co-op though!) But I have to say that this mission design has me not bothering with any of it, just like the dreadnaught one. And I won't be buying it at the price it's selling either.

Problem is that some people play to keep the star - which dooms your team to a loss right off the bat.

We had a 5* with no DDs - had to use my Leander to spot... The hydro and smoke are useful! Div of 3x Leander. PEF Normandie QE/Bayern or something like that Pensacola. Key was to spot the DDs early and take them out FAST then focus on the cruisers, mop up wave, move one to next wave, rinse & repeat. The last bit means you need to split up wisely and grab heal early if required. 2 of the BBs were very competent for the scenario - can't remember how the other one performed. Leander does mean a high % of shatters but the smoke is a real boon (although we would probably been better of with one less Leander and one extra cruiser with HE... The PEF was beastly in this run through with its high ROF and tankiness - the captain having more than half a clue helped too! Edit to say that all four randoms got a +1!

Alternative - balance the T5 appropriately and gift all current owners with a properly balanced T6 (or move GC to T6 balanced properly and give free properly balanced T5 to current owners). Give option of refund for cash/dubloons (as appropriate) to those that don't want their GC rebalanced.

I'm going out on a limb and saying that I've got to be mis-interpreting your point here, but a T10 CV should still have to be picky about targets. A dedicated AA cruiser or a high AA rated BB should be the last thing that a CV should be able to attack with impunity - even a T10 one.

Just watching Jingles video on the RU BBs - better midrange AA than US AA cruisers to start with. How do WG think that they can balance CVs/AA when they give test ships these sort of stats?

How much of that is to do with the "events" that they had on at the same time though - many people, myself included, don't have time to play the main server to get the campaigns and the test server at the same time.

Worst of it was we went from a 5* scenario to a guaranteed loss as 4 players got the boot at once. Perhaps this is WG telling us off for avoiding modes with CVs in...

Just gotbooted and can't connect

Should start by restricting CV to 1 per team IMHO. As a start, boost AA - sector control should leave all sectors @ 100% but also buff the selected sector - either boost frequency of flack burst, range of continuous aura or something that doesn't handicap cruisers etc but gives them a chance! Defensive AA should actually be a threat to a competent CV player. Give surface ships better concealment from air too.

So first? Make it stop, make it stop... Lets have co-op battles with a no CV option please. It's really screwed up when you have 2 extra top tier BBs vs 2 top tier CVs (or all bots...)

Yeah, WG aren't getting any more hard earned cash from me if this is how they treat us/the game. Voted!

Sounds about right! (for the PEF I mean)

IMHO it should show both but again, I can see why WG doesn't... With the "leave" prompt, they could have it confirmation only if your ship hasn't sunk yet...

WoT:C doesn't have split screen support and was doing fine - until WG:CB screwed the pooch and ruined the game... If anything WoWs console should do well as it is a more natural fit for gamepad and slower paced gameplay than tanks.
