The point ofc was, a CV player can "decide" for himself to get a perfect drop. Even the best BB player wont come close to that numbers. Imagine you could nonstop shoot at broadsides... just doesnt happen. Every other ship has to take imperfect opportunities (shoot angled ships, torping bow-on), something a CV doesnt have to do.

The weird thing to me is, that this account has been played like 3 years ago (ranked season 7)

Its a bot, but still... good enough to Citadel BBs And Buffalo one salvo devstrike from full HP

Well, we were here during those changes, you were apparently not, since you dont know what happened? How can we be wrong then

Base values here, so its without CE and concealment mod: Buffalo 13,2 Roon 14 Drake 12,8 Brindisi 15,1 Saint-Louis 14,5 Riga 14,9 Ibuki 12,2 So thats 3rd best amongst all heavy Cruisers. No need to look at Seattle/Neptune as they are light Cruisers with 152mm guns. They should have better concealment. If other Cruisers have better concealment, its because you dont have the right captain skills and modules. When you deal more damage, especially to DDs and Cruisers, you get more credits. Also use flags like Zulu and India Bravo Terrathree. First gives more credits, latter reduces your service cost. Its easier to become a better player than to keep complaining how broken this game supposedly is.

How it would actually look like

1. Economy is much more forgiving than it used to. You dont have to buy premium consumables, you have them 4 free. 2. Whether you sink or not doesnt affect service costs 3. What have US cruisers got to do with that? They have very good concealment compared to others. Armor for US CAs is better than many other Cruisers, CLs are not worse than others. 4. US Cruiser AP is only really good on T8+ CAs. That doesnt mean, that the others shouldnt use AP, but they often get away with using HE. 5. Well, premium ships or prem acc is more necessary than it used to, since they made the grind easier. Just play more to gain credits. There is no pot of gold on TX. And its not p2w either. Its pay 2 advance faster. 6. A lot is wrong with this game, but other than you think.

Indeed. If you find someone who understands what you are doing you are toast. Once had a Shima sneak through the center of the map on Haven, to try to get our Cap. I speedboosted him down with my Henri and killed it Kinda ruined my game, but also won the game, since enemies were dangerously close to get a points win later on, and without me interfering they would have won.

He tried, he actually lost them before he got close enough to drop

Yeah, i like how he went all the way down A1 instead of taking even the slightest shortcut 99% its a wasted report anyway as it wouldnt do anything. Neither punishment, nor any karma loss, since they usually have 0 karma. The shima even has hidden stats You can get the name from twitch if you feel like it. Naming and Shaming is quite impossible with hidden stats. Sure, it can outspot both of them, and if needed can throw out a couple of k damage easily. IJN DD guns do hurt.

Which ship do you think i was As i said, i only didnt report him since it was an easy win, so it didnt really matter. Alltho as the other flank basicly lost, it was down to us to win our flank.

Not good actually But as you can see, the entire enemy flank is actually alive and they were just about to entire our B cap. Dont have a screenshot of that tho. Our 3 BBs were actually kinda smart as they kited away from the enemies, but neither shima nor the CV actually did something to stop the Halland/Öland... well i guess the CV tried as can be seen by the plane kills

In that case i didnt report him, alltho i usually do. But since we easily won... also id still report him even in a win if he is on my flank and he doesnt help us.

Atleast you can spot it now without entering its radar range. The concealment is still too good, as long as its carrying 12km radar. Also it shouldnt sit so low in the water. However, if you nerf all that you might need to buff its DPM / damage output. Last week it only had 72k avg damage, which is Zao levels. Hindenburg/Venezia have 78k, Henri 74k as comparision. It might be balanced for randoms, but its really broken in CBs especially in combination with CVs.

Dont even have it But i dont like the concept. Russian CA line should not have radar, that would solve the issues with Petro in Competetive. And it would still be good enough in Randoms. Tallinn on the other hand could receive some buffs.

already had 2 nerfs to its concealment.

The problem is, you are asking for a CV to have a limited number of perfect drops per game (like for BBs) which can fail or not (same for BBs). How many perfect shots do you get as a BB per game? And how many of those are not perfect? Basicly we are talking about 1 in a million or so, that you would hit like 75% or more cits. Even if it would be much more likely to do it from point blank range, a BB simply wont always have the possibility to do this. Contrary to CVs, which can have this with every drop. People like @El2aZeR have like 99% perfect drops, and while they wont get the maximum out of it every time, its still vastly superior to BB dispersion/RNG. As for ships being able to outdodge planes... we both know its impossible. Planes are 5-6 times faster and more nimble than ships. I say its impossible to make CVs have imperfect drops most of the game, only to lower their damage output. Well, sure it can be done to some extend, but it would only increase the skillgap, and unicums will still do their thang, and all others will get even worse.

If CV main = complain CVs UP, everything else OP

It all makes sense now

You misspelled World of Battleships

WG is going the opposite way tho, by making it more easy for CVs to drop their targets by being able to do 90° turns or more without any penalty. Or german CV torps being also much easier to use than other torps, even if they do less damage.

If we go by match influence, CV would need to have avg damage of DDs. Imo there was a reason, why DDs have the lowest avg damage: They can spot for their team, which is very important. CVs spot equaly good, deal more damage and kill weak ships at will.

The problem is not only how its delivered, but look at how the Citadel can be accessed for shells compared to AP bombs. Shells have to hit an area, which is thin but long. AP bombs have a massive area, as they hit from the top, and the reticle fits nicely over the citadel. Maximum potential damage is definetely too high for some type of planes. They could aswell just lower the amount of rockets/bombs per drop, which also decreases the max damage.

The only thing being chip damage are torps on BBs imo (lets forget something like AP bombs on DDs here). And you have to hope that you dont get forced to use DCP right away. Rockets on DDs, AP rockets on Cruisers, AP Bombs on Cruisers/certain BBs are completely out of control.
