AA UP on all other tiers?

Arguably those clans are better regardless, so it shouldnt be an issue. For the average clans in the lower leagues, it might not be an issue either, when most of them dont have those ships, so they play a "normal" season so to speak. Id prefer that 100x over that CV shitshow. Because with CVs we have the same BS of Venezia + Stalingrad BUT also CVs... Or to make it more interesting, WG could just make more limits on ship choice, that would make for more variety. Its not like we havent had discussions/ideas about those, and it felt like a lot of players (who actually play CBs) were more on the positive side. If anything it showed how bad Cruisers are compared to Kiev on T8... but as i wrote above: Limit Kiev (or any ship for that matter) to 1 or 2 problem solved. I would very much welcome such a rule, just to make it more interesting by getting some variety in there.

If you find a way to make use of all guns, its not far off from a DM. 5,5 sec reload with 6 guns vs 12 sec reload with 12 guns. So you shoot less often, but with a heavier hitting broadside. Exhibit A. Thats a oneshot on another Buffalo. DM actually cant do it. He can do it in 2 salvos ofc. edit: btw if someone says thats reload mod buffalo: Yes, my first games i played reloadmod, but it didnt work out everytime so i swapped soon after.

Thats probably the issue why many fail with Buffalo. You can get decent results with Balti playing a DM style using frontguns only. But with Buffalo, you have to use all your guns. Otherwise, you will lack firepower compared to other T9 Cruisers.

I used AP very much in Balti/Buffalo. But in certain situations, the additional range is a must have. Usually i always play reload, and Buffalo is one of the few i play with range. Usually how my Buffalo games look like in terms of HE/AP distribution. Unless those certain situations or maps. Like Tears of the desert, you are forced more into HE spamming.

You can only get more Radars, when you get more Cruisers, which would mean especially less BBs. However, if there are more Cruisers in queue, it also means it makes sense to play BB to farm those Cruisers...

I dont know what it is, but the dispersion is absolutely horrible. You get 1 good salvo every 3 games or so...

I think Kremlin is garbage

While i agree that there are some stinkers around, i dont think Buffalo is one of em. I dont think so. See, the difference is not black and white. Even if you can shoot 18+km, doesnt mean you have to. But you can shoot 16km, which you cant without the rangemod. Most of the time, even a km can make a difference between able to shoot from behind an island or not. You would get mostly overpens. Unless they are somewhat angled probably.

You already have several premiums. You wont magicially get a super ship by buying one. Luckily, that doesnt exist in WoWs. The best results you will get with a ship you are comfortable in. And you lack experience, so best bet is to just play the game, learn stuff, see what you like, then pick accordingly.

BBs dont detonate often enough?

Thats what i think/fear aswell... Its basicly a steel farming mode for 5% of the playerbase. And to me it looks like steel is getting less and less attractive. - Only 3 steel ships available right now (Bourg, Stalin, Somers) - 1 Steelship coming up, which is overpriced and mediocre at best. Its not a ship that good players want or need imo, unless you collect ships. Its more a ship for the average pleb who likes his Big Guns - Steel Camos for certain ships at INSANE pricelevels... no need to play CBs for that. - More and More coal stuff around, which you probably cant get with Coal alone, so use Steel for that?

Maybe happens because it has an english style ending. bagraTION ... pronounciaTION. Otherwise i dont see a reason to pronounce it like that. Id say it as its written, which is probably not 100% correct either, but still better than the english version

Atleast in the other seasons every clan (probably except the Hurricane ones) had the option to modify their own lineup somewhat. I mean you could say, there was no base for a Radar Mino in CBs, but i could play it. But this season? Nope, doesnt make any sense. Next season again CVs? We still see the same Venezia/Stalingrad/Haku thingy, UNLESS they would introduce an even stronger Cruiser than Venezia. Maybe Petro can replace Stalingrad, but thats about it. CV will dictate Venezias, almost all others become obsolete.

Id go for Repu first, because it has the gun caliber to overmatch TX Cruisers, which GK and Montana cant do. Normaly it doesnt matter that much (since you will always have broadsides) but in certain situations against a Cruiser player who knows what he is doing it will be a problem. 2nd Option would be GK (even if 99% will strangle me for this ) but thanks to its armor and Hydro, it can actually make a move when necessary. Alltho, it requires your team to do something, which is an issue on its own if you play Solo. If you play division, GK is very strong.

So much this!!! I remember one game with Balti being toptier, where the enemies only had small caliber BBs. I just sat in the open bow on to them and see them bounce. After some time, they started all switching to HE But they wasted so much time on me anyway, that it was an easy win by that time. Buffalo is awesome. Funnily enough, i had heard so much bad stuff about it, that i didnt want to grind it (same for Baltimore). But once i did, they were extremely strong. I can just advice you to use rangemod on Buffalo - that helps a lot.

Thats not entirely true. In previous seasons, you had the possibility to run other setups with good enough results, if you had people with enough skill in their favourite ships. This season, you can forget about that. Its hard to put into words, so ill try to illustrate it like this: Previous seasons: - High skill in meta ships - High skill in non-meta ships - Meta ships Thats the order of success This season however: - high skill in meta ships - Meta ships - the rest FAR behind. Its better playing Venezia even at a lower skill level than any other ship.

Well.. if someone wants to stick with his clan his boundaries are the people around him. If they dont wanna play, then you could only leave the clan. But there is still the issue, that literally any clan ive heard has the same issues: Nobody wants to play anymore.

You do know you were the one using the arguement against @MacArthur92, that his Ohio PR is the worst from his TX BBs... i only showed you, why it is irrelevant for his skill in the Ohio or for Ohio balancing in general.

Ohio doesnt have anything to do with how PR works ...

They increased points from 300 to 400 in domination battles so games dont end after youve killed like 6 Bots.

Understand PR - then come back here and tell us what you learned... Thats the entire Unicum PR Ohio players (atleast with 80 games played) 2094 sucks? guess so with 75% WR 1,52avg kills and 143k avg damage. Close example of Yamato, with slightly less WR. >600PR points more. PR is pretty much useless if the playerbase is limited, especially to very good players.

Well, they basicly killed the entire game for me in the last 1,5years: - Randoms were going down the drain for a long time. - First remove many Operations, then nerf the rest - Ranked was always questionable - And last but not least Clanbattles with CVs - Even Coop was annoyingly bad when they increased the playersize, as it didnt yield anything. Atleast they fixed that, but i dont see myself playing Coop only... - Clan Brawl is very nice, unless its bigger than 5x5 or has CVs in it. But its not often enough to keep me interested. Aslong as there is something to enjoy, it keeps you playing other stuff too from time to time. But now with CBs butchered, i basicly quit randoms altogether. Next CB season is with CVs: Im out for good or when Subs come into randoms (or worse into CBs). During this season, i wanted to rage deinstall SEVERAL times.

Could you follow our conversation for more than 1 post please? You tell me, why i go into every topic (which i dont btw), then i tell you why, and now you tell me, i shouldnt talk about you... eh i wasnt btw

That didnt stop them with Stalingrad either To me the worst offenders are actually T5 and T7. Nobody cares about Pyotr tho, because its T5...
