Then go to T5-6? You will occasionally meet short duration radar on that tiers aswell. And if you are willing to learn, i dont think its too much of a trouble, to type "wows (or world of warships) radar" into google, and the first link tells you which ships have radar. One thing about that, the wiki actually doesnt look good right now, it used to be much better. Every ship being listed seperately is really hard to look at... However, people these days want to invest absolutely nothing into anything, and want to get handed everything to them on a silver platter. What if the next guy comes in: "I dont know where to aim, cant i have an aim assist which tells me where to point at, because i dont know armor values". Isnt that kinda the same thing, but actually 100x more complex than some radar ships?

If you are a seal in T8+ MM, maybe you should go back to T4 so you dont get "clubbed"?

There are also too many issues with that, like divisions, and foremost, how do you distribute players among those leagues? (WR doesnt work, f.e. if everyone has 60% WR, noone can sustain it). Then divisions: What happens if i would want to division with someone from a lower league? Doesnt work at all? Or do we get to play in the higher league, which makes little sense for the lower rank person. Playing in the lower league ofc makes even less sense, as you could then trick the MM into easier MM. So... many people bring ideas which sound good in theory, but they have no practcal use in this game. This is the best way to balance teams. As long as you have people do stuff, which can only be described as sabotaging their own team or outright not playing the game, most players will have a bad experience. Why should people, who drive their BB into the last corner get to have better WR? They should have a LOWER WR than they have now so they would actually learn something. Maybe losing teams just need to get punished entirely: Not anything, no credits and no XP, so this dumb failing to TX stops. And then buff XP/Credits on the winning team for the top players. People dont need to be cuddled, that will get us nowhere.

Not to mention, if you have access to heal you can take a more risky approach. A small heal wont let you get away with huge mistakes, but it makes it easier to take small risks.

Except that WG desperately wants to keep CVs in CBs, which will always favour Venezia... And i was in favour of nerfing Venezia because its also too storng in randoms. Not to mention, SAP is [edited] to begin with, its a bad concept. CVs need to be removed from CBs, because they ruin the gamemode. Venezia needs to get nerfed because its too strong. 2 seperate issues. CBs only showcased how annoying Venezia truely is, but my arguements always based on the average random battle stats.

CB season 8 had cyclone, which basicly is the worst environement for Venezia, as it has to get close. CB Season 7, Italian Cruisers were in early access at start, so you couldnt play Venezia. Meanwhile, during the NA tournament yesterday, there were running Venezias around even if there was no CV. Fact is, we didnt have a normal CB season to check, if people would play Venezia under normal circumstances. One season favoured Venezia heavily, the other it didnt at all.

I like spanking a Kidd, and then he runs away into his own spawn only to survive Sitting in smoke btw

And thats pretty much the problem with it. Because of their inability or unwillingness to play/learn other classes, they feel that they are OP. DDs are OP because of stealth and torps, Cruisers are OP because of HE. If they would have learnt to play them, they wouldnt think that. And as a result, they also never learnt to play BBs properly.

Ive been saying the same for some time now aswell, because the imbalance between heal/no-heal ships gets more evident in other modes like CBs or Clanbrawl (Kiev season anyone). For the different heals id like to add, you could just have heals, which only work for certain types of damage. F.e. fire for non-heal Cruisers is always something you have to think about, if you DCP or not. Its permanent damage, while the T9 Cruiser can heal a lot of it back, even 50% of your HE alpha. And now that we only have premium consumables, you can even lower the amount of heals to 2 (1 + 1 with SI).

Id like to add, thats often the abysmal <40% WR players 3x divs which cause the roflstomps. 3 BBs running to the mapborder? 3 DDs suiciding in the first minutes? Its basicly a guaranteed loss.

I meant, DM should stay as 18, but Salem could be 17. I guess the question is, do you take it for the radar, or not? Answer is most likely no, as you can hardly make use of it. To me it felt, that they werent really useful tho? Could have been that they picked Venezia because last CB season. The Kleber/Haru/Marceau for 13p i dont get either... yet, they picked them? Harugumo was a horrible pick. And im not 100% sure about Marceaus either.

From what ive seen/experienced, Enterprise seems to be the trolliest of them all. At the same time, Enterprise is also the easiest to account for dodging during the drop i assume.

Doesnt feel like that to me actually? I can hardly blame the game for roflstomps, if i go in with a 3man div

hmm, no not entirely YY as you said yourself, is only 6, too low in my book. Salem same as DM is overrated, it doesnt have the radar utility, even tho it has better standing power due to the heal. 17 would be better i think. Colbert too high (why same as Smolensk? its worse), Venezia too high (its not a good pick in a no-CV mode). Henri too low. I think, Hindi, Henri and Venezia all could be same. Thunderer could be +1. Bourgogne isnt a good pick, no armor and no health. Montana and GK should be same at 25. Stalingrad could be like 20-22 maybe. That being said, there might be some deeper thoughts within those values, since i havent done the math if there would be some way to get a certain lineup if you move some ships up or down. also, i dont hope WG would do it, they would just cramp CVs down our throats again. Not to mention they couldnt get the balancing right... id see them giving same points for same class ships (like all CLs X, all CAs Y and all BCs Z)

As i stated earlier: Vladi actually has 45mm ( i hope i remember that correctly) armor in the center, so IFHE helps there, as you move from 38mm pen to 47mm. Also it has a huge bow with 32mm armor, so once again, you hit that with the smaller secondaries, you can pen it, while without IFHE you cant.

I havent played that much CVs, but if i play them right now in Ranked sprint ~40% of my plane losses are fighters with no value.

I can only descibe it like, more and more people are actively not playing the game. If you have those in your team, or too many yoloers, its gonna be a roflstomp. Yesterday in Bourgogne game, i had a Zao pretty much not shooting. I was fighting a Moskva within each others spotting range, the Zao ran circles around me without shooting it. Later I watched the Zao again, not shooting ships in range. He was in no danger, yet he did nothing. You see where he ended.... Interesting fact, the Gearing had 3k damage. So, you pretty much know what the Zao did? What happens if he doesnt have good players in his team who actually can fight? I guess its 1 more piece to roflstomping. Also, a lot of wins from my perspective look like roflstomps, because in a 3man division, where you deal a lot of damage, pressure the enemies and draw fire, you wont lose many ships (unless your team still suicides). Its hard to call those roflstomps imo, even if you only lost 4 ships or so. Like this, took 13 mins to win. Looks pretty much like a stomp, but atleast for me didnt feel like it. I heavily capitalized on the enemy giving me central position to move and i just charged in. Even more interestingly, a lot of ships were near dead on my team, but that doesnt show ofc. Id say roflstomps are those games, where both teams still have many ships alive, and despite that it ended in 5-8 minutes or so.

we need a "" reaction

This one is pretty glorious (ranked sprint) Our Ognevoi capped C, then continued straight into the enemy spawn, and the entire team chased him One would think, you have a CV for that

You can only dodge if the CV doesnt account for it. Its like if you shoot with a BB and you account for the Cruiser dodging and he turns into your prediction. But the CV can correct that far better than a ship shooting another at range.

Have you looked outside lately? I think that pretty much sums it up, atleast for me....

In reality, that gives you no benefit tho. 38mm is already a (small but atleast it exists) threshold, which lets you pen T8+ US BB midsection. The next noticeable threshold would be 50mm, which you wont reach. Between 38 and 47mm, there isnt much which you could only pen with IFHE (i think vladi has 45mm somewhere) That atleast gives a good buff: - T8-10 Cruisers have 27-30mm plating, so you can pen them. T8+ BBs have 32mm plating/bow/aft which you also can pen with IFHE. On the other hand, you lose fire starting potential for all your guns. Not anymore

Under current rules: Yes. Because you would ensure better MM for the T5 ships by pairing them up with a T4 ship. Example: You play solo with a T5 ship and get into T7 MM. You play in a division with T4-5 ships, and get T4-5 MM because of it. Why would i play solo, when i can rig the system in my favour? Thats not fair, and thats why, it wont and should not work.

Well, then you might have to stop playing? As i told you, people have been complaining about that for years. But the developers dont want to change it... so nothing you can do about it. Chances are somewhere around 0, that someone actually reads that complaints. Thats me being honest, not being a jerk btw. Im just telling you as it is.

Because in that case, you (or basicly your division mates) are the problem. If you play alone with a T4 ship, you can NEVER see T6-7 ships. If you are in a division with only T4 ships, you will also never see T6-7 ships. However, you go in a division with T4-5 ships, you can see T6-7 ships. You can fix that yourself. Tell me, how it is not a player problem? As for T5+: Its the way it is, people have been complaining for years, and it wont change. So you either accept that, or not. Choice is yours. If you play T5, you can see T7 ships (btw difference is is 2 in that case, not 3).
