Well, how do you rate "better"? Ive often been first in lowertier ships where i didnt do THAT much. Especially not damage, but something else. On the other hand, ive not been first in highertier ships with very good damage.

Thats how T4 CVs should be, because lowtier ships dont have any AA. But since reeeework must be made successful (aka popular), we have the shitfest now. Look at that 4300 battle Hosho guy We barely have the rework for 1 year, assuming he played hosho since day one, thats like 12-13 games EVERY [edited]DAY

Top 20 hosho players by amount of games This doesnt look this way for most ships. Thats purest sealclubbing by the majority of those 20 (like 4 of those are not worthy of the term clubbing). https://wows-numbers.com/de/ship/4181702640,Lexington/?order=battles__desc#leaderboard Look at Lexington, its reversed situation. Only 4-5 of those top 20 can be considered good, all others are just bad. And thats how it is usually. Some people play a certain ship all the time, and they suck in it. Does it matter? Not that much, as they shouldnt bother you too much. But on T4, not only those sealclubbers bother you, no, also all others can bother you too, because you are virtually defenseless against them. Also, does it matter if you attack a CV or any other ship? Imo not really, except ofc CVs can spawn fighters which will kill your planes...

So something IS happening I-401 coming? Not saying that they do, but maybe they renegotiated / made a new collab with ARP to get the Sub into the game? Just saying what we were told couple of years ago that "ARP ships are on a seperate server, and WG doesnt have access to them"

Well, thats ofc a different story... and only WG could answer that. Lets try it @MrConway can you tell us anything?

Maybe something changed with their collab agreement. Previously they told us, they dont have access to ARP ships (how that makes sense is beyond me, but lets say this is true). Not only do they make them premium, they also made the skins camos. So maybe something changed, and now they could change the values for the Camos/premium ship bonus.

You would still need to grind the LM this year, and also activate the mission before the patch next month. (or was it the patch in march? not sure...)

Ive had a couple - worked fine every time. Sometimes they expire quite fast, maybe that was the issue?

For me, midtiers are still more enjoyable, even with the CV plague being present in almost every game. But hightiers have CVs all the time aswell, so not too much difference actually...

Bad players have learned, if they move ahead, they die. They are unwilling or not able to learn how to cope with the increasing punishment by hightier ships, so they take the easy way out: They basicly dont play the game anymore. Yep, sounds stupid, and so it is Best is to not go there. Playing hightiers is overall just a very bad experience, and mostly unfun

Just ouf of curiosity: If this would be a thing (which we established thats actually a replay bug): Why would you want to have that?

Currently max dispersion is same as Yamatos (and same sigma) But no worries comrade, if powercreep not enough, can always buff something!

TASM1 is not popular because its garbage Only bad players dont know that But the new one is kinda retarded... its like removing torpedo balancing between ships. Also, with 1,8km detection (2,25km with vigilance) torpedoes only passing near you have a much higher chance of being spotted compared to before. Especially DWTs with <1km concealment. The problem with the new module is, it will benefit backline camping BBs, as they dont need concealment. However, spotting torps earlier will benefit them at some point. If you were to push in your BB, both concealment and torp spotting would be great. And its clearly not a module for DDs and Cruisers. And every module in that slot has to pass the concealment one in usefulness. Which ofc says everything about concealment, but also how OP that other one would need to be in order to be better.

Thats probably the most logical explanation for everything. Subs... and this... everything else. Its like speed milking, before the game goes belly up?

Im pretty sure there are none (of which it would see in game) Fuso has 35mm deck... But yeah... 20k citadel damage. Totaly balanced. I also dont expect many overpens on Cruisers actually, if the ballistics are bad. Bad ballistics = slow shells = shell detonates in time. It only needs 85mm of armor to fuse, which basicly includes every Cruiser except Smolensk

Basicly what we have been saying in our division too. There is no incentive in playing a game (which main purpose should be fun) when literally half the games or more are UNFUN to the bone. You need to DRAG them kicking and screaming to finaly start playing the game, which might work every other time. Luckily it worked once yesterday, so we pulled it around. Also id like to add: People, who actually arent playing at all have been increasing in numbers. On average, i think 1 out of 24 doesnt play (can be more ofc). That doesnt only mean being AFK. Just a summary from the last dozen games or so: - T6 BB (pink, big surprise), shoots our division in spawn several times, then reverses to map border doing nothing. Actually gets 17 XP for that !!!! probably cheating WGs AFK-detection system - Several AFK ships in both teams - Buffalo sitting at an island for a good 14 mins without any enemy in reach. Then runs off into the corner. - Amagi refusing to fight, because there is no use ?! Glad they still killed him - Mahan sitting at an island till we rushed him. He was almost dead till he started to reverse... probably watching YT or browsing FB who knows took that while watching a streamer yesterday. Thats how basicly every game looks these days. 2 Teams hugging border in one part of the map. If you are unlucky, and only your team is doing it, its 9/10 GG and a loss.

Just putting my own experience with Friesland in here. With my teams lately, it has been not a pleasent ship for the most part - Most of the time, my team has been camping in the furthest most corners of the map. So i basicly cant do anything. At best, getting rid of a DD in my cap, getting that cap, then i can choose to run away again, or i can try something else. - People WILL rush you down if your team doesnt help you. They know, you dont have torps. You will not kill a BB in time - People WILL blind shoot you - all the time. - Ive had 3-4 DD games all the time (how thats possible is beyond me). They work perfectly together, while my teammate DDs die at the mapborder to BBs. Your concealment isnt good, so you can expect to bleed HP in every engagement. If the enemy DD is smart, he can get away with little damage. - Basicly every game has a CV. While Friesland does have capable AA against the average CV player, you will still be spotted by those planes. Even worse by aforementioned DDs which are able to disengage, leaving you spotted in the open. Sure you can always use your smoke, but wasting your smoke = lowering your damage capability.

You being pink is a warning - you are not restricted in any way from playing any game mode you want. Its 3 games being pink. I cant understand why people make such a fuss about it. Ive been pink more than once, never had any problems that i was restricted to Coop...

Maybe they say its bad so people dont think it might be OP Im not at liberty to say, my clanmates might strangle me

No damage but first in XP

Its kinda interesting when you think about it: DWTs have 800m concealment, if a BB uses TASM right now, its ~1000m. So a massive nerf. But what about lets say IJN torps, which already have like 1,6-1,8km. 20% more detection extends that past 1,8km retarded times 10. BBaby buff #5448764145. Cruisers and DDs cant use that module, as they need concealment (or rudder shift)

Atleast they wont take Concealment mod any longer

Get Alaska first, the chance that it gets removed is higher compared to Nelson. Alaska is around for almost 1 year now, so it might get removed soon (many FreeXP ships got removed after 1 year). nelson has been around all the time, i guess it wont get removed anymore. Alaska is a great ship. Nelson is also very strong, but you need a certain skill level to perform well in it. It has a massive citadel, which many BBs even can hit it through the bow.

I actually expect it to be available through even easier means (research bureau maybe). WG said, you paid for early access and the Camo

So how does MM create matches if Subs are also supposed to be mirrored ? Just assuming they should ofc... CVs also mirrored too, and all other classes aswell, unless someone sat in queue for 3 mins. But i dont see team a having a sub and team b not having one at all. so doesnt really work out i believe, especially in the early phase, where you could only buy a sub and not grind it.
