Never said i agree with that change. Just saying, that making stuff up doesnt really help. I think T8-10 CLs are still as viable as before. T6-7 is a different story, which i covered in my first post. With the current MM, there is no real reason to play them, if you get uptiered so often. Sure it sucks, i totaly agree with it. But WG does what they feel like, we can write our hands numb here and they still wont listen so... We dont have much options: Either we take it, or we go play something else. Im pretty much ready to walk away, just finishing this CB season, and then ill see CVs = crap. IFHE rework = crap. Subs = crap. Why keep playing? Pampering to CVs and BBs left and right, just remove DDs/Cruisers alltogether.

Dont you actually get 39mm Pen with IFHE on Wooster, which means you actually pen more than before, namely US BB midsection. I dont see how you get less pen (like the person i quoted said), when nothing really changes. As for the fires: Sure, its a huge difference, but i still prefer direct damage over DoT. Especially since ive always felt tremedously unlucky with fires throughout my WoWs career. Look my profile up, i have like 13 witherers in 5k games And Cruisers are my most played class. And then you still get that nice confirmation bias, that every first HE hit sets me on fire anyway, so i couldnt care less really....

? Nothing really changes for T8-10 CLs except you lose more firechance than before.

Isnt that kinda... cluttered? I used to have AA ranges enabled pre-rework, but found it to to be confusing because of too many circles. Air detectability... well doesnt matter too much to me. Planes are too fast so it doesnt really matter. When playing DD, i always check at the start of the battle so i can try to avoid the planes, because 100m makes the difference. But for that, the minimap isnt accurate enough imo. Same for smoke firing. I think you need the exact distance to the target to be on the safe side. Even shooting when the target is not in your smoke firing range can get you spotted, if he is moving closer to you.

Because its less about balance than to confuse players. We get constant changes to the game, so i dunno, to "dumb" it down? Guess we cant have people running around knowing exact values, must be OP to clubb those poor seals that throw moneh at WG I think WG wants everyone to be as clueless as possible, so they can harvest the most amount of cash.

Omfg that Scharnhorst... literally whats wrong with this game. Lucky for him, his team covered his stupidity

Ontop of what has been already said: If you hit a section thats already on fire, you could hit a million shells, you wont start any more fires. Thats often the cause for a much lower fire chance than you would expect. Superstructure overpens? Or Bow/Aft.... Yep, we all have that. Seems to be getting worse tho. Often i can even here more hits than i actually get, which is quite interesting.

Im not sure if CLs can live without it. T6-7 wont penetrate T8-9 Cruisers, since they receive central (deck) buff. Especially with bad range, you cant always shoot BBs, and not to mention, if you are in a 1v1 situation with another Cruiser, you are already at a disadvantage. And you cant really burn a Cruiser down, especially since they all have heals at T9. For T8+ its a given imo, so you can pen BBs. Direct damage > RNG damage. Even more so, since the latter can be healed 100%.

So when i remove my glasses, i get the same effect? Good to know

I think its not too much to ask to remember the values, especially since you can look them up during the game by pressing H. Most of the time, you see the enemies which can spot you. and if you wouldnt see them, then it wouldnt matter^^

Ofc when you kill BOTH Kamikazes, then you lose, because your team is Wasnt even RPF torps, just good guess After the first game, i thought, why isnt there an achievement for getting a flooding and fire kill in one game? That would be kinda nice. I know its pretty rare, but why not?

Between my post (1 year ago) and now, MM actually changed. You wont be bottomtier as often as you used to, but that only made it better for T8-9. It got worse for T6-7, because they get uptiered by 2 more often. T6 often faced T5-T7 before the change, which wasnt that bad, but now it faces T8 often. Similar for T7 which faces T9 more often. And we also have much more single tier matches on every tier. btw i just played 3 T6 games, first one was 11xT6 + 1xT5 ship, 2nd was T5/6 mix and 3rd was T6-8. You have like 15 games on T6.. i doubt all of them were bottom tier vs T8.

Thats why, Cruisers and DDs are your best class. Oh wait, who would have thought, ITS BBs!! Highest WR: BB Most avg kills: BB Highest avg damage: BB If BBs are so hard to play compared to the other classes, how come, you perform best in them? Doesnt make sense does it? Or maybe it is, because BBs are actually EASY to play, yet you focus only on the negative aspects.

Imagine running a bot when you cant play which keeps losing, so you get better teams once you play yourself

I love playing Radar Mino

No other techtree Cruiser has a Heal except Edinburgh... By that standard, Mogami is worse, as it neither has radar, turtleback, range or a heal.

Thats a really good point. Basicly, WG is telling us what to play. This directive? Play everything - CV/DD/BB/CA. Every week.

Neither for nor does it give any rewards. Well, as a BB you can atleast shoot across the map most of the time, something a DD cant do.

If they wanna do it, they gonna do it. Nothing you can change about that. Currently, they have the "excuse" that you dont have to do them. If you fear, that they will change that, then it still wont change their behaviour. You can only stop spending money on wows or quit for good. Thats the only 2 options they might listen to: Direct impact on their income.

On the contrary: high survivability is EXACTLY the problem with CVs imo. And even that got inflated by giving CVs 1 minute auto DCP, 5 sec fire duration, cant detonate and TX CVs are the tankiest ships in the game while angled. Not only are they out of range/unspotted for most of the battle, no, they also have other advantages going for them no other class has! Some time ago, i wrote, that losing planes should directly effect the HP of the hull. That way, losing planes would actually mean something. Its quite easy to determine, how many planes a CV should lose in order for him to get sunk. There is no doubt, that certain type of people prefer to play a class like CVs, because they can be almost immune for the entire battle duration, while striking any target at will. They dont need to be good doing it, but they are cowards, and thats their main goal: Be out of harms way. To the 2nd half of your post: Well, i think we can blame WG for that, atleast partially. So many additions have been brought into the game, which are atleast very good against DDs (or even directly anti DD) - More and more gunboat DDs, who excel fighting other DDs - CVs (rockets) - Radar (longer range, longer duration) - SAP DDs are just the garbage class in wows. They are much cheaper than big boats in the premium shop (that doesnt really make much sense does it? Unless, the ship is straighup worse than another class of ships). DDs are made unplayable to the average player. No, not talking about the 40%ers who still keep playing them. If they would have any selfreflection, they would not play them, leaving DDs pretty much dead. DDs are paying for their high influence with lower damage output than other classes. Its pretty much ~half of that from BBs/CAs/CVs. How do CVs pay for having an even bigger influence? Well, they have highest damage output, most kills, dont die nearly as much and all the other stuff i mentioned above. Also i believe, that even an average CV player has more effect on a Unicum DD player than any other ship played by an average player. Even a bad CV player can ruin your game by accident. Sure, Unicum DD players do have a high influence on the outcome, but Unicum CVs do have an even higher influence, and once again: Who is keeping them in check? Guess noone, but apparently, that seems to be no problem The only thing, keeping CVs in check is the incapable playerbase. On the other hand, if every DD would be Unicum, they would keep themselves in check. Now how were CVs before rework? ups, exactly the same: 2 Unicums meeting each other couldnt do much at all, because they were avoiding each others Fighters. But now, CVs have no counter against each other, so Unicum CVs on each side would try to damage farm their team to victory, mostly depending who has the more effective weapon/who has less stupid teammates.

How about not doing them? Its like people whining about 70 million tanked damage during PR grind... yet, you didnt actually need to do it. And you dont need 3 devstrikes either. As you said yourself, you get 1 flag for it which is pretty useless. That being said, im not defending WG for how they do missions/events/whatever these days, but you can just ignore those missions pretty much.

Ehm, you used the word wrong in the sentence prior to that? So i assume, people saying to remove rockets because they hurt DDs is wrong in your opinion, thus leaving enterprise without a chance to kil DDs is wrong.

Yes, you did say, that its not ok for a CV to have no option to kill DDs.

How do Unicum CVs get killed then? @El2aZeR has almost 95% survivability in CVs (sorry that i keep tagging you btw). Who is killing him? Best DD players dont get those numbers, heck, noob CVs get 50% survivability. Just checked, the worst Midway player by WR has 43% survivability. Now do i need to look at worst DD players? Should i expect more than 10% from them? How about we take the midway guy, who has a STUNNING 0% !! survivability in DDs. Once again, double standards are used when comparing CVs to other surface ships. They have double or tripple the survivability than other ships, and they need to counter every class/ship in the game. Yet, when i bring up, that many other ships need teamplay to solve their problems, you tell me i dont make sense? Im baffled...

So its ok for BBs/Cruisers not to kill every other class, but its not ok for CVs? Interesting game balancing
