As he also wrote, that doesnt make it any better... Why do i want to play, if the enemies decide to not fight at all?

You are not supposed to earn tons of money playing TX. Play other tiers for that. Other T9 premium ships are not far behind Missouri anyway...

Even more reason to take anything you can get? I mean, if you lose concealment, the harder it will be to get into position to actually radar the DD. Moskva with full concealment build already has 13,x km detection. So it will be more like 15-ish if you drop the Concealment mod. 3 km window in which you cant radar but will be detected. Playing Stalingrad with >14km concealment can be a pain in the butt, cant even imagine how its gonna be with 15km.... (and you want to move around even, makes it worse actually).

You could have infinite pen, if you are at ricochet angles, only overmatch will help you.... and you simply cant overmatch T8-10 BBs with those guns, only Yamasushi can do it.

Its only T6-7 Cruisers getting shafted, as they cant pen T8+ BB armor any longer 25*1,25 = 31mm pen. But those BBs have 32mm armor so... On T8+, IFHE is still supposed to give 30% bonus, so for them it doesnt matter, as they can still get 32mm penetration.

Naturally, i have been playing with Aiming System mod on basicly every ship (only a few times i took turret traverse and for those it didnt feel bad either). So now if take Main Battery mod or Torpedo tubes mod, i will see if it makes any difference. I basicly swapped to torp mod on almost all DDs, and to turret traverse mod on certain Cruisers. Also on US BBs, since they dont have the dispersion mod in the first place.

Hey, im first one to admit that the dispersion module is necessary for DDs and Cruisers if i feel that it will get worse. Havent played yet after the update, and probably wont today because bad weather is screwing with my electricity. But especially for IJN CAs, i think the turret traverse is better than the dispersion, as they have good dispersion to begin with, but bad turret traverse. If you make a hard turn, you outturn your turrets so you cant shoot at all. Shooting with little worse dispersion is still better than to not shoot at all.

No, doesnt work. You might get enough players for the brackets between 41-45 and 46-50, as the median WR is like 47% or so. So you have most players down there, but the higher you go, the less players you get. It would be literally impossible to find a match for 60+% players. And then there is the more crucial part: If only 60% players are in one match, inevitably they will be drawn to 50%, because average WR is always 50% (or a little less with draws). Noone can maintain 60% WR like that. The same would happen for 40% players, as naturally, they would win more often than they do right now.

Then the asashios will have no problem outspotting the Akizukis and its down to their teammates shooting the Akizukis. If the Asashios can get rid of the Akizukis, it wont matter if they cant torp the majority of the ships, as the enemies wont have any DD left torping anything (or spotting for that matter).

You are assuming, that the Asashio are playing badly, while the Akizukis are playing perfectly. You might aswell have Asashios spotting for their team, while the Akizukis are sitting in smoke because they wanna dakka (thats their main selling point anyway), and leaving their team blind. Its a pretty poor example about being handicapped. The Asashio can benefit their team IF they decide to do so. At the same time, Akizukis can be a detriment to their team, which validates my point, its about the players - and not the ship. Feel free to look at my posts if cry about russian ships, i rarely do btw. I dont consider Smolensk to be OP either. Yes, its broken/bad for the game, ill give you that. And it makes no sense to argue about the upcomming russian Cruisers yet, even if certain stats are questionable at best.

I dont see a problem. Asashio has superior concealment. Problem you are referring to are the players - not the ships.

Yep, you cought us, Unicum players are cheating the system and are ALWAYS toptier

Yes. I believe, it would give a better experience for players in lowtier games, as they could just occasionally dump the entire CV queue into one battle. But i knew you would pull the CV card. And i couldnt care less about CVs btw. They are so detached from the gameplay of other ships, it doesnt matter if there is 3 CVs +8 surface ships, or 10 CVs + 2 surface ships. It doesnt matter for them, and neither does it for the surface ships. If there are 3 CVs, and you are in a position so they can easily strike you, then its gonna happen. Id prefer games without CVs, than to face constantly 2 or 3 CVs. A game with 10 CVs would be horrible, but games with 3 CVs are also horrible - and they happen all the time! I think you are talking too much about ships that YOU dont like. They are in the game, everyone is allowed to play them. I mean, so far you complained about: - CVs - Smolensk - Georgia (neither of those above have radar btw) - Radar ships The problem being, you want to punish people for something, they dont have influence on and they dont even know about it. If i pick a radar Cruiser, and there are 5 Cruisers in queue, HOW would i know that they are all radar Cruisers ?! I dont even see the queue before i enter it. Cruisers arent overrepresented at this moment, and its also not Cruisers fault, that many players prefer not to play DDs. Thats on reworked CVs.

Sounds good in theory, but if you compare DD / CA / BB hitrate, i dont think it holds up in reality. BBs are good with ~30-35% Hitrate. Cruisers often dont have more than ~40%. Best DDs for me are 50% But if you look at dispersion numbers, DDs are at ~100m, Cruisers like ~150m and BBs ~250m. The values are far too close to justify the dispersion module IMO. Atleast for everything else than BBs that is, as they gain most out of it.

I think the most disgusting division is 3x Orion, or 2x Orion + Nikolai There is hardly anything which will not get blasted away, even DDs often tend to get spotted by other DDs or the CV, you just gotta delete them fast enough. I dont think Smolensk div comes close to that. In terms of game influence BB/DD/CA division. Optionaly CV could replace the Cruiser. Atleast speaking about hightiers The thing i realized, if you want to have game influence in hightiers, you NEED a DD and a BB. MIght just fill up with a Cruiser to deal with enemy DDs quicker. Thats why, you can switch it with a CV, because a CV can do the same thing. Even a DD is often necessary, because you never know what your team will do to throw the game.

Would be nice for Massa if it would have access to it The aiming mod gives like ~7m better dispersion... at MAXRANGE! thats always something you have to consider. The closer you are, the less benefit you get from the better accuracy. I basicly switched to the torp mod on all DDs, except a couple with horrendously slow turret traverse, there i took Mainbattery mod. As i wrote above, i dont think the better accuracy makes much difference. The biggest issue with hitting or not hitting is to aim properly. Faster torps might not be that special either, because its only a couple of kts, but it also gives more survivability to torptubes. I think thats the better perk actually.

So 5 Radar Cruisers vs 2 DDs is a clear no-no, but that we have had 5 BBs for YEARS and often enough only 2-3 Cruisers thats more fun? People are allowed to pick any ship they like, you want them to be punished (by sitting in queue), because some others picked a Cruiser instead of a DD? That makes no sense...

No they are not. They didnt sell Thunderer directly for money. They said, they can/will nerf Special ships if they need to. I guess dodging is not a concept you are familiar with? Or skilling FP? But hey, lucky it was a Thunderer, and not a Conqueror, which is much better at slinging HE. Same could be said for Cruisers that can get deleted by BBs at any range.... Thunderer has 32mm plating, only Yamasushi can overmatch that? Maybe you got "lucky" with something else, and it wont happen on a regular basis. Ive gotten/received freaky citadels too over the years. As @gopher31 already stated, its Dispersion is much better than that from other BBs.

Nope, thats how it works. Same thing happens, when we get Techtree ships (f.e. during XMas events) and you have a stock ship in port and get the same as reward: Your ship doesnt get the modules, but if you wouldnt have owned it, you would have gotten them.

Well deserved Im glad WG seem to have worked it out, so faildiving doesnt automatically grant better MM.

No worries, he has Thunderer himself, and funnily enough, his highest average damage ship

Goliath has 4x3 with 18,5 sec base reload 234mm caliber Then you have Bourgogne which has 3x4 28 sec base reload + reload booster and 380mm caliber. Not to mention, Bourgogne has like 40% more HE damage and double the AP damage.... You really complain about 7-10k damage every 16-18 seconds?

If Cruisers are so OP no-skill, how come you are not wrecking entire teams with them...?

We have a seperate ribbon for that for some time now
