For the better? Less bots stealing kills. Well, id agree if there are only 2-3 human players, then it would start to show an impact because you need the bots as meatshields. But more often, you have 1 or 2 bots who dont do anything except rush in and die AND block you from torpinng or even shooting. This actually happened to me in a game, where i was alone with another player and 6 Bots. My own Bots blocked me from torping (ofc) and they sat next to the enemy bots waiting to die and blocking me from shooting aswell. I managed to get pink too, because i simply HAD to try to shoot the enemy, because my other Human player was useless af... Tho, i dont see it as a big deal. Just think it could be changed. And for people deliberately killing Bots: What would you get for that? Except ruining your own game and time

Must happen more often since he already has 6 games Usually its only 2. Alltho i agree, its kinda silly to get penalized for hitting a bot... (but vice versa this gets even more hillarious ) You should get penalized for hitting your friendly humans, because you are ruining their game. You cant ruin a bots game....

Who says that i dont Usually i get tilted the first game i play, because its someone doing such utter noobshit, it should be so obvious thats its stupid. Just today, i had a GK rushing a shimakaze, he hadnt used hydro in some time (i was dead and spectating). I told him SEVERAL times to use hydro, because not only were torps coming his way, no, the Shima was also SITTING in his smoke inside his Hydro range. And the best ofc: He could have shot the shima himself, and so could have the other BB with him. (Shima got like 80k damage in because of him not using Hydro!) It was pretty late in the game, and maybe he chain-hydroed everytime it was available... the problem is, the DD was torping me the entire game, there was no DD on his flank at any time

... Then have your Cruiser radar him because he is blind Thats just mean

From the scores it looks like the enemy team actually won Except your Yamato and you (alltho its close for you^^), the enemies have more XP place for place... thats insane. I dont think ive ever seen anything CLOSE to that even.

In b4 CV smokes himself up for the entire battle because he can

The only somewhat decent game today, most others where really meh And this was only special because i got to tank 3,5 mio potential, and got torped all the time aswell (37 torps spotted). Had a Moskva spamming AP at me from their spawn at 20km. Had a DM sitting behind an Island - also spamming AP from one flank (moskva was infront of me basicly) and on the other flank a Mino sitting behind an island dakka-ing from what felt like 17km (i really think he had range mod..., but im not sure). Still was kinda close in the end, since our team managed to die anyway

That was really helpful, thanks for posting that! I thought something was iffy when my Dallas dealt the same damage despite me having the sector reinforced (or actually planes being on the wrong side so to speak). WG went full retard... as always Must be so complicated, that basicly 0,5% of the playerbase understands the mechanic behind it.

So if id have numbers from Beta times , i could say player numbers / battles played are up by several thousand %? And i think using numbers basicly when its summer (or close to), isnt the same thing than using numbers from now. Might be, that people are just playing less during the summer? http://maplesyrup.sweet.coocan.jp/wows/ranking/pastrecords/20180127/na_week/average_class.html 27.01.2018 = 1.969.109 Still the question is: We had much more players couple of months ago. Now we dont have them anymore. Individual player numbers also dropped by ~30% in that time. Compared to last year, when it actually were ~76k players. Now it were almost 100k in January, and last week only <70k. Everything points to: people are playing less. I mean, you can say everything is right, but i dont see why you would want to believe that?

Players getting more stupid maybe

I really think DM/Salem dont fit the current Meta. I blapp them left and right with my BBs aswell. Influence on the battle is very low. (Ive seen several hug the map border because they didnt know where to go as it seems ) And T10 playing alone is... imo quite hard because you are mostly at the mercy of SuperUnicum Divs and Potato Divs/players. Get matched with the wrong teammates, and its pretty hard to turn it around. And overall, if you dont have really good carry pants, you will lose more often than not. You have to produce on T10 - simple as that. Because most of the time, your T8-9 teammates will be even bigger [edited] who just yolo.

Yes, i think it got raised a little bit.

203mm AP cant overmatch the Alaska Citadel deck armor, and it sits so low, that i think its impossible for the shells to not hit the Deck. BB AP can overmatch the Deck if it hits low enough in the water.

I played her once in Coop, was outstanding. Just use AP much more where you wouldnt with other ships, you will still get pens because of the improved angles. 12k upper belt hits on BBs is easily possible! I just angled away and kited with it, since bots push anyway.

I think most of my Citas on Alaskas were Midrange+~ (so not longrange). And all broadside. Ive had to shoot several angled Alaskas which gets pens (if you dont hit the deck), but no citadel so far.

46% I think you are thinking about Warspite Nelson has thermonuclear HE aswell

I usually can get one Citadel with Musashi and the rest are all overpens. Have to really hit the waterline to get there as its so low. But its possible.

Could go so far to say, its intentional? First showcase something which is borderline OP (or straight up better than something else), so many players will go like "hell yeah i want that". Then change something, to bring it more in line with the other ships Profit... Even compare RN CVs to the old lines. People like Flamu play them in stream, and they easily deal 200k damage. While the old lines get nerfed at the same time. Now everyone is like "i want the RN CVs ASAP" = spend (money) FreeXP to get to T10. (can be even said, to get the T8 CV currently in the arsenal, since you cant get that one for free imo)

All Cruisers on T9+10 have a heal, US Cruiser aswell. RN CLs just get a heal earlier because they are so squishy. Some T8 Cruiser have a heal too (Prinz Eugen and Atago/Takao), and Abruzzi on T7 afaik and Graf Spee on T6.

Will eventually happen Sometimes you are just lucky when no BB is looking at you. Also ive seen couple of screens with low number of BBs on midtiers, and tons of Cruisers at the same time. This is ofc favorable for Cruisers, as they cant get deleted from BBs.

I rather think this comes down to personal flavour. I can get good chunks with AP longrange on BBs with QE/Nelson/KGV. They all have shortfuse AP, so you kinda have to aim a bit differently. But overall, you can get some really juicy salvos. And if you have AP loaded, you dont miss out on a Cruiser broadside Im just not a good HE spammer i guess... RU CLs are the only ones i do well in with spamming HE really.

Ummm... you are? Truely amazing how you interpret stats. 1,44 planekills... clearly CV doing the carry. Also: If one does not enjoy playing alone, why is that a bad thing? Ontop: Why would you carry someone around by playing with him if he would be that bad? I wouldnt deliberately division all the time with bad players... No comment on whos flaming again

5 mins down the line, you wonder which team is more stupid I went to B/A to deal with the ships there (Cr33d Zao, a Cossack going to B aswell, Seattle and a Mino.) Somehow, our team was smarter and outcamped them

A ship is only as OP as the player behind it...

In return, i see Cruisers using AP only vs angled targets... world is upside down
