I still dont think, german BBs in general need a Buff. Its just WG changing the game, so secondary BBs suffer the most. The best thing they could do, is rework captain skills like AFT/BFT and Manual Secondaries. And maybe change/swap the 3rd slot modules (even if its only for german BBs, US BBs also have a special module) for Secondary range and MB accuracy. Germans could have a special module combining both. And for AFT/BFT ive said it before: The 3 benefits AA/Secondaries/Mainguns need to be seperated, so that one skill buffs AA, one Secondaries and one or 2 cheaper ones Main battery. AA buffs for AFT/BFT are a joke anyway, wouldnt be bad if you would get both benefits for 4 pts, same goes for secondaries. Ofc, getting both reload and range for your mainbattery for 4 pts is a bit too much maybe, so they could move them to 2/3 pt skills respectively. And Manual secondaries need to fire without buff if i dont select a target, and same rule applied if i have 1 ship on each side, so i can select one target, and the other side also fires without dispersion buff.

I think thats the biggest issue with german BBs: Most players only try to play them with secondaries, they dont even consider trying something else. But for the "average" players, tankbuild would definetely be the better choice. Instead of trying that, they rather want buffs. I dont say, Secondary build doesnt work, but i see it more as a fun build, which most likely is not as good as a survival build. And the higher you go, the more skill you need to make it work.

No. I want people to actually PLAY the game - nothing more. How is deliberately dying playing a game? Just happened today, the player even announced it in chat. I cant even grasp the reasoning behind that, because there is none. Unless you are so frustrated with everything that you just want to get it over with... which again, puts up the question: Why play in the first place? If i come to terms with it, ill quit the game. Because its the day i stop caring for the game

I only got 4800 battles in 3 years now

AHA! sikrit discovered: @MacArthur92 is actually a Bot!!

Shouldnt they tho? Shouldnt they atleast have SOME consideration for their teammates in a teamgame? Sure i think yes, i know others disagree with that. Guess thats just how these times are nowadays

Cyclone is the least annoying whether effect, the others need to be removed. But its stupid that Cyclone favors certain ships, while screwing others completely over.

huh? I heard they might look into german BBs, but nothing definitive yet? Or did i miss something? Because it doesnt. I mean, sure i can try advertising some buffs for GK, but that might sound rediculous That takes even 10~20 battles into account with secondary spec, which didnt work for me as good. Thats almost all Tankbuild GK (very few should be some mixed secondary build i tried for a few games)

Wanna jump in here and show an example from todays game. And we arent even talking about DDs here. The last 3 guys there Ibuki died first, full ahead from spawn, through the Cap, miss all torps (naturally) Close after was the Georgia. Also full ahead from spawn, just died there. 3. was the Iowa, funnily enough even half of the XP of the other 2 - which didnt do anything either. Less funny is, that the Iowa actually announced his suicide in chat early on. How he managed to turn around is something i dont know. But he still died quite fast. How did they get almost 1k XP? Well, i can only guess because the game ran almost 15 mins. The Ibuki couldnt have dealt much damage, if any, at all. The Z and Seattle were hiding in the cap behind islands. If the Georgia dealt much damage - i doubt it. The FDG, Missouri, Alsace, Yoshino all had pretty much full HP. The Mino aswell, but he died to the Kleber. Harugumo was almost dead when i saw it, but i suspect the Kleber again. Friesland lost all HP to our Gearing and DM. Obviously the game still thinks, the Iowa was even more useless than the other 2, and probably he didnt deal any damage either. Tried to look up the stats, but couldnt really tell what they did. However, they all have <30k avg damage on their respective ships, i think Ibuki was the worst wth 16k. Best part however: We actually won this. Not because the remainder of our team was super unicum, but because the enemies were even worse. But those 3 players certainly didnt deserve to win, nor did they deserve 1k base XP for doing nothing

After playing Montana recently, i value the GK even more than before. It has some very powerful gimmicks, which others dont have. GK can push in to turn the game, and Monty has a harder time doing that. On the other hand, Montys guns are better ofc. Im not sure how you play your GK, but id advice removing a secondary spec if you use it. Tank GK is just better imo, atleast for me.

Meh, personaly i really dont like hightiers (thats putting it nicely). Think it got even worse now that we often have TX only matches. T7-8 are often better, unless you get lots of T9-10 ofc. On midtiers you get the problem with the CVs however

I do have some detos in Coop tho while playing DD^^

nuff said? The win i got trapped at D (or whatever that cap is on my teams side on Greece with 4 caps) by 3 enemy DDs. So i hardly could reach anything, but somehow still managed 3 kills. On the loss, the enemies just facerolled over the rest of my team, even 2 TX BBs went through center on Two brothers being useless... from the enemies ofc!!

True, thats why i basicly only play divisions these days. Atleast you can count on 2 other guys this way....

Well, they actually say that occasionally? The best ones are those, who give "orders" and when you tell them, how stupid it was AFTER they died, they answer with "I play 4 fun, i dont care, i do what i want". So if you dont care, why tell others what to do? Thats really interesting imo. Well i see it like this: If you dont have support, you shouldnt go in, simple as that. You shouldnt feel obliged to cap if your team ignores you. Thats also a part of becoming a better player. Vice versa if you have support, doesnt mean you get a free pass to do what you want, like some DDs actually do. They think they can gunboat in the open because somehow magically i can make the enemies shoot me instead of him Im not denying that those are issues aswell. But seperate problems need different solutions. Its just annoying, that games are lost after 3 mins because all your DDs suicided. 1. No, thats not necessarily the outcome. It does happen that both DDs can get away without dieing. 2. If you cant dodge 20+km BB fire, you have other issues i think... 3. Yes, i agree about CVs. Thats a whole other problem tho. Its a problem with CVs, not with DDs. DDs die fast even if there isnt a CV in the match. 4. Again, issue with CVs. And that should be looked at anyway. Your loss i guess? If you dont want to play, but dont wonder if you get salt in the chat Yeah, no wonder, you rather keep playing your selfish play in a teamgame

Cant tell how this was a win Enemies all caps, but win harder. GK is not a bad ship. In every other ship i would have died earlier which most likely would have failed to turn the game. And game after that, guess needed some "balancing" to make us lose... enemies had 2 TX BBs rushing the center, yet they still easily wiped us. And their Yamato was basicly hugging the border aswell. But our CV was horrible

Having worst PR in BBs is easily explained: BBs are easiest class to play, so you cant really fail that hard. Meaning, average values are quite high. So in order to have Unicum PR, you need really good results. Having good PR in other classes is much easier, because you see often DDs/Cruisers just dieing without doing anything. So having a ok-ish game gives you decent PR. Sure they are all that (with few exceptions), but that doesnt mean that they are getting shafted the hardest by CVs. 39 planekills on T4... thats almost a joke from both sides. First they needed so long to kill me (3 CVs dropping me at the same time) and that they are allowed to have such a reserve in the first place. Balancing is completely out the window - from all sides.

They arent useless. The problem is the playerbase being stupid. Not a great arguement to justify buffs for a class/ship.... What they can do, is shown by players like @El2aZeR and co. And its horrifying. If half of the CV population would play on that level, wows would be unplayable. The potential is there - players cant use it

I wanna add Cruisers in there aswell: Try shooting an angled CV with RN CLs. Or Midway with any Cruiser shooting HE. yeah GL dealing damage... fires you say? LOL

So playerbase is retarded and doesnt stop with CVs - thats what it says. Also, i was commenting from a CV players pov, i could do to DDs what i wanted to. They tried everything basicly. Turn AA off, dodge, smoke or whatever. Got them at some point. If you cant make CVs work, then the problem is with you? (uh, am i finaly allowed to say that? )

excuse me wtf? Literally the easiest thing is to bend over a DD and kill it. Nothing he can do. Been playing Enty in Sprint, its so easy And its super easy to find them aswell, even if they have their AA turned off. I think asashio counts as quite stealthy with his AA turned off. The biggest "problem" in killing a DD is, if he is sitting close to his BBs. But he is useless then, so who cares. Also, how to BBs suffer the most? They have best AA (with fighters), they take least amount of damage: Best torp protection, best armor which can shatter rockets/certain bombs and they have always a heal. DDs literally have no counterplay against CVs. If he gets you, you are dead. Cruiser can lose 1/4 oh his HP to rockets too. Again, he cant do anything about it. Against AP bombs, he can migitate the damage. While BBs struggle the most with dodging, but they still have most HP/heal/best protection.

Nothing more to add to this. Best Notser video ever, the few ive watched ive disagreed often with how he plays and stuff. Conincidently, i made a topic just about that today....

I never watch Notser, but he is saying EXACTLY what i wrote here aswell. Often i dont even agree with what he says, but he is spot on here. An afk DD is worth more than a DD suiciding in the first 5 mins - spot on.

Fubuki is nice

Why would i be nice to someone, who doesnt give a s... about his team in the first place? Why is not being nice in chat a bad thing, but griefing/not playing for his team in a TEAMGAME is acceptable? Considering that majority of decent players says, that the team with less stupid players gets the win.... Not sure where the difference is really. Its not like, getting focused by enemy CV within first 90 secs gives you much of a reward in the first place. However, not dieing would still be preferable. And maaaaybe WG would realize there is something wrong with AA/planes/spawns/everything. @HMS_Kilinowski You are basicly adding other problems, which i do agree exist aswell. Not getting rewards for making a play: Well yeah, mostly for DDs that spot. I feel, tanking in a BB often gives enough rewards as you will get your damage aswell. Your other proposal sounds very reasonable aswell.
