Planes dont spot torps anymore tho...

DoY has improved AP Pen angles, so that kinda makes up for something, maybe they shouldnt have same reload, but DoY could definetely go for a slightly better reload.

He tried to say, that the thread was one year old.

And they didnt accuse of cheating? Wow Thats how it usually goes atleast

I agree that people can be over-dramatic over this kinda stuff, and it would be easy to solve for WG to give appropriate compensation... which they usually fail to do. Last compensation was a total joke with Belle Epoque containers, they suck [edited]. Just give people that what they are missing out on, i.e. today its Florins and Crowns, maybe 1 day Premium account as usual if the Server keeps having problems (and id like to see them giving a couple of flags as compensation aswell, seeing how you lose them when you get kicked out of the game)

Obviously that works when you are young or dont have to work. I guess, working people are not supposed to do WG missions, especially when they throw them at little pieces at you. Gotta go to work later, so only time i can play today is now, and i cant because of Server fuckups. Guess that makes me a whiny whatever-you-called them Not everyone can sit at the PC the entire day waiting for WG to fix their crap, while at the same time having missionchains that only work one day so you get the stuff you need to get something for free. (Florins and crowns, and all other missions around dont help too much)

Ive been wondering about this weird stuff aswell sometimes on that site... i can only figure it has to do with updating the profiles from the players? Maybe, that Langley guy played it with hidden stats couple of months ago, and now had his account stats NOT hidden, then he went into the cycle and the data shows he played langley right now, even tho he ofc could not play it anymore. So thats what i think happened here. On the other hand, if you look at all time data, then thats the actual problem: It includes old stuff. So for being relevant, 1 week is better imo, especially since CVs got changed so much within one month. And Midway had 800 players, while Yamato/GK/Montana had something like 1200-1300 players. So it should include both good and bad players. (T6 CVs had more indivual players than BBs, while T8 CVs have roughly same amount of players comapred to BBs, except Bismarck... for obvious reasons)

I agree... Complete joke imo. So far, the shoot down planes-mission were basicly not needed (in the directives f.e.), but now we have to do it, even with very limited ships! Ontop of that, we will be seeing idiots left and right to get planekills, i.e. yolo in and hope the CV strikes you? Or try to borderhump your way to the enemy CV and wait till he attacks you And we all have to join the fun because of the tier limitations Seeing how you cant do the mission while playing CV... you can only div up with one CV and take turns

Our div Colorado actually disconnected and started 2-3 mins late. He still made it into the harbour before the convoy, so i think you are good to go

Sure Ill be working today in the evening tho, so i might play earlier today. Or you have to look for Forlorn if they are playing in the evening.

But thats only against BBs and CVs... but yeah, i can see BBabies whine about that actually On the other hand, i really think its stupid. They seem to be strong enough as it is, (currently they seem more like OP from what ive seen), and with a little tweaking they would be totaly fine without that Radar. I dont think so... WG seems to have a clear picture in how they see CV gameplay. They even moved CV tree from BBs to DDs, because they see them more like DD gameplay. For me that basicly says, that you cant just rush (fly) in, and try to bomb anything at will. And there are people who get as good results with CVs as the other classes, so i put it down to a l2p issue mostly. (best Midway player is producing way better results than ever before with RTS CVs, so Midway is definetely really strong in capable hands). Kinda funny, their actions really only support the idea of having a campy gameplay (while they say the opposite, makes you think if they are dumb or just lying )

No they dont http://maplesyrup.sweet.coocan.jp/wows/ranking/20190223/eu_week/average_ship.html From last week, on saturday we get a new week to compare: Midway is first in damage only after Bourgogne and Conqueror. Both arent correct benchmarks because The first one is played by SuperUnicums only who have the steel to even afford that one, as everyone else got stalingrad basicly. The 2nd is mostly farming fire damage (see how Conq has low avg kills, 0,22 behind Midway) Hakuryu is below all BBs, yes. Kaga is first in damage on T8, GZ is 3rd. Both Massachusetts' are on 2 and 4 respectively. Saipan is 6th, Lexington is 7th. Bismarck, Tirpitz (Tirpitz B), NC and Roma are behind all CVs. (monarch is between Shokaku and Enterprise) On T6, Bayern and WV are behind Ranger and Ryujo.

Back with RTS CVs, i once consecutively killed 2 DDs in smoke - i really hoped for some Cheat accusation, but didnt happen

Lyon is some crazy crap in Narai

I really wonder where this will end someday

FreeXP is easier to earn these days. I think its ok that its more expensive now. 750k when Missouri was available took you quite some time. Nowadays? 1 million aint that much really.

And how much is this discrepancy?

Something, which i personaly would be much more interested in, is damage done to different classes i.e. BB/DD/CA/(CV). That would truely show, when something has high average damage, but is only farming BBs, that makes him rather useless, while someone with a bit lower average damage but more damage to DDs is contributing more to his team.

Well, kudos for admitting that. Maybe you understand now our stand on the balance of CVs, and why its virtually impossible to do

Truely devastating And got a Coal SC Yesterdays SC was Ocean Soul. Ive been really lucky with SCs lately, but a ship is still eluding me

Because good DD players could use the extra buffer zone better than bad players. If they gain 1~3km by not being detected, they can use that to cap or torp the Radar ships better. (and btw, i dont think we need to super nerf RU radar in the same process ) Sometimes it really felt Hydro would have been the better choice for me... Yeah, its ok the last couple of days. Meta is not so "blob" anymore, and CVs are hardly present. Its kinda funny, either ive seen 2 CVs or no CVs at all. 1CV only happened if we played CV ourselves in a division. Also most of the time its 4 DDs, but we even had a match with 2 BBs only today Problem is still, most DDs suck....

Yeah, we definetely need one at this point... Avg damage with Ranger 50k Avg Damage with FDG 51k and Iowa 56k. I mean, i can understand CVs arent much fun to play right now, but how do you warrent to call out for a Buff when you perform equaly with 3 tier higher ships (not to mention having a far worse WR on T9).

Ive always felt thats one of the core issues with WoWs. Cruisers should be the go-to class. Most of the time they simply arent. DDs are a class, which imo is best at 3~ per side. More of them usually ends only in more DDs dieing in the first couple of minutes. Same for BBs, just for different reason. With 5 per side, they are limiting the movement of Cruisers extremely. Cruisers however, tend to die fast themselves (when targeted by BBs), but arent fast killers themselves (except for some candidates, and in Cruiser vs Cruiser interaction, which boils down to making huge mistakes). Cruiser vs Cruiser engagement can keep them busy, while not being that punishing.

Well... thats really a tricky question tbh. Cruisers are a hard class to play correctly. They lack armor like BBs, and stealth like DDs. From your stats i see you like Marblehead (atleast you play it the most). It just cant tank anything. You cant tank HE shells, and for certain you cant tank basicly ANY AP shells (not even from most Cruisers). Personaly, i love Marblehead. Its kinda glass cannon style, no armor but good guns. The problem is, you kinda need a 14 pt captain to make it work well, because you want IFHE and Concealment Expert ofc. Try to use Island cover most of the time. This goes for almost all Cruisers, except some higher tier ones. The more game knowledge you have, the better Cruisers will work for you.

Well, i know that feeling, alltho for me its not linked to IFHE... Im basicly trying to through enough ideas out here in hopes that WG might discover something useful instead of their crap they call balancing Just the recent -20% air detection buff for all ships, i think it was just bad. They knew something had to be done (with that i agree), and it feels like that was the easiest solution to come up with. Could call it desperation mode to not let the game go down the drain. WG did say they want to do something with Cruiser upper belt armor... usually it would make sense, because right now, US CLs do have a bit thinner armor, which doesnt really matter too much. 27mm plating gets overmatched the same way 25mm does, except for the smaller caliber BBs (which doesnt help when you have to fight Musashis and Yamatos f.e.) But even if you would buff the Cruiser plating to 32mm, it would still get overmatched by CL HE. That means, CLs still would out-DPM their heavy brethren in a 1v1 situation. (and 32mm plating would be extremely questionable in terms of BB fighting capability)
