As of right now, i feel playing DDs on T4-7 is actually worse than on T8-9. There are basicly 4 CVs every game present, sometimes even 6! They will find you at some point, most likely when DDs spot each other. And then its nonstop planes coming your way. Unless you want to be absolutely useless, you are even in range for enemy ships to hit you, so you will bleed HP constantly. T8+ maps are bigger, basicly 1 CV only and DDs have more torprange. Radar is as much of an issue for smoke Cruisers as it is for DDs. Have played enough RN CLs to know about radar, so i rarely mind it. Sure, i lose a little bit of health, but thats not a big deal if you can retreat and make a new plan. You cant retreat against more than 1 CV tho, especially if your other DDs already got killed earlier.

? Why wouldnt you get camos and flags? WG is throwing those at us all the time. Ive only spent 89c for Cossack on wows, so its totaly possible to even get a decent amount of premium ships with dedication and a bit of luck

He meant slightly worse for certain tiers (f.e. 7) not for certain player. Id like that preferential MM, also when some tinfoilhatters refer to premium ship MM. Yeah, 3x T7 div premium ships resulted in T9 MM with only 1 other T7 ship except us wonder what they would say about that.

I think they only made it as a special when they introduced Ovechkin as a Captain. Was only a temporary achievement for the time being.

They already changed MM...

Just Radar mino Biznezz as usual

I mean cmon... srsly? In the end, i had to solo kill the de Grasse which was spotting for the Edin in smoke. But since our CV sadly sat in the last corner, and didnt spot for our Ognevoi... we lost. And the Asashio was ofc supersmart, got 4 caps afaik. B/A/B/C to win the game. Meanwhile spanking 2 of our BBs sitting in the corner ?! I was hoping he would go for our CV, but ofc he didnt.

Occasionally me. But since he is on my personal gulag list, it doesnt bother me. Sometimes i see it when others react to my post and i got a boring one, and it shows his name ontopic: Had @SnuSnu_RIP with his div on the enemy team. That was a really intense game, but was fun. Could have gone either way.

Was always 2100 tokens.

I dont really get the idea behind this, but here an example: What if 2 DDs see each other, but neither is shooting, is any other teammate supposed to see them in that case? Or not because noone is spotting that DD themselves? If noone is able to see the DDs, then what would be the point of a gunboat DD? If the gunboat DD opens up on the torpedo DD, he is spotted by eveything in his gunrange. So the enemy team could shoot the gunboat DD, but the other DD is basicly safe since he never fired his guns. At the same time, Hydro/Radar would become entirely selfish tools, since noone else can see the target except the radar ship. (If i cant shoot, why pop radar?) I only agree about plane-spotting. Ive said that several times, and it would cause much less issues with CVs. Even if you can dodge the CV strikes, you still have several other ships shooting at you because you are spotted.

Didnt buy any, but nothing from those free ones either, think i got only 2 with doubloons/coal, the others were all camo/signals....

Thats what i call effective 3 Torps, 14 shells = 4 kills

Sadly this. And T9 also got a little bonus, not seeing T10 all the time. T7 was always such a nice tier... now constantly uptiered against T9, often even the only T7s...

T9 game from today (not my game), all friendly teammates ofc. Sums it up nicely i guess? 3 people with bought premiums, CV with <40% WR, and the others basicly havent learned anything even with 11k games

If you punish new players on lowtiers, you might aswell club them out of the game. Since you dont have to invest anything to play WoWs, having an unfun experience right at the start of the game will make you quit the game instead of learning it. The example you are using, thats like <1% of the playerbase who actually would make such an approach work. The others will either derp around forever (blaming everyone but themselves) or just quit the game out of frustration. The problem is, you dont have to learn anything, its a game. If you dont like it, dont play it. People could learn basics playing midtiers T4-6(7). And if they would get it right, go on to hightiers. But WG likes to throw them right into T8 asap. Either with premiums, or making the grind very easy with Premium acc and all those signals we have now. It used to take MANY MORE battles to grind through T7-8-9. Now people can do those in like 40-50 battles total. Which is rediculous, you wont even learn how to play a specific ship, unless you are a very good player to begin with and have the knowledge too. Or just buy your way up the tiers, even worse. This system results in frustration for everyone: The player itself because he just keeps dieing in hightiers without doing anything, and his teammates, because they have to fight harder to compensate his lack of skill. Average players with 1-2k games have no business playing T8+. They need to be kept in midtiers to l2p, better even if they would be forced to play different classes aswell. In a loss, you should not gain any XP - period. That way, those [edited]40% losers would need to play their ship over and over till they get it. And no FreeXPing / buying through the tiers either.

T9/10 ships are useless for me as secondary builds. Tankbuilds seem superior as there is a benefit basicly every game. T7-8 works, as long as they arent lowtier. T7 ship with secondaries is not much use in T9 game... But from playing myself, Massa secondaries are far superior compared to germans. German Secondaries ofc work better against T8+ BB plating.

DDs useless in Operations? Unholy amount of fires i received... guess need balancing to kill me

I dont think there is much of a competition, TX ships are just straight up stronger than their T9 predecessors. Not only talking about FDG here, but FDG is among the weakest. Montana/Conq 33% more firepower than Iowa/Lion GK 50% more than FDG Repu/Yamato/Kremlin have accuracy and overmatch (reload) advantage over Alsace/Izumo/Soyuz. And Musashi has the same firepower than Yamato has. The biggest difference is the slightly worse dispersion because of Sigma. Slightly higher Citadel? Well, you dont want to be in a position to get citadelled anyway, so doesnt matter. Less AA? Who cares, AA is pretty much useless as it is since 0.8.7. Weaker secondaries... no comment.

Musashi is OP at T9, there is no way around it. Its not "just a Yamato" at T9, because Yamato gets matched against strong T10 BBs aswell. Musashi can get matched against a FDG... And the reason to remove FreeXP/Coal ships? So WG can put them into XMas boxes and cash in on it

I think shima has 2 problems: Oldest DD-line (so every noob has it) They start drooling when they see 99 torp rating. Have seen a streamer once, who said, no wonder his BB died to Shima torps, because it has "99 torps"... The most retarded play always happens from Shimas. - They gunboat in the open - They never use guns - They sit in smoke in a cap waiting to get torped or to gunboat - They go around the border because spotting/capping is overrated. - They never* have SE (my shimas, enemy shimas always SE and play properly ofc) - They miss torps on <3 km because they stack all 3 launchers on one spot Average shima player = bane of my team

Stalingrad probably has the largest Citadel of them all Moskva might be same/equal Thats the gimmick of the RN Line. Others never get smoke, and heal only on T9/10. Only some premium Cruisers have smoke, and some Premium Cruisers have heal on T8 I think, russian Cruisers are hard to master but extremely powerful if played correctly. But none of them is nimble, they are long bricks in the water which basicly turn like BBs. And they have big citadels without much armor. Budyonny is a bit tougher than the others, Shchors is made of paper f.e. And Moskva in the end is extremely tanky, but the playstyle usually is: Bow to enemy, and sit. It has a huge citadel, but otherwise strong armor (50mm) for a Cruiser, so BBs have a hard time overmatching it.

I blame @Bear_Necessities for regrinding his CVs Or as i like to call it: Clubbing the sealclubber

Just one week ago... and must happen more often when i see the queue with more CVs than all other 3 classes combined Such a joke aswell, RTS CVs on T4/5 had to get nerfed because of sealclubbing. Now we have totaly OP T4 CVs which wont ever get deplaned, and thats fine.

Ive seen numerous khabas getting caps... always on the enemy team tho Russian/French DDs on my team, being only DD and you ask them to get an empty cap "[edited]NOOB, I CANT CAP, NOOB l2p IM A GUNBOAT!!!" And the DD i fear the most on my team? Shimakaze... They bring destruction to my team when they are on the opposite side. But my shimas like to openwater gunboat enemy GKs

Yep, TK stream. But idiot Asashio players - what else to expect from those... (i can only hit BBs, so i dont need to do anything else ) going a bit offtopic here
